    I wish I had known about this shop sooner! After taking my Subaru to the dealership and not getting the issue fully resolved, I brought it here, and they fixed it quickly and efficiently. Great service and honest pricing. I definitely recommend!

    This is the only place that I would take my Toyotas. Fair pricing and quality work.

    A big thank you to Leo for helping me out with an inspection of my car for DMV. I would highly recommend Preferred Auto Care to everyone.

    I recently bought a used Lexus and was searching around for mechanics in the area who specialize in Asian car makers like Toyota/Lexus vehicles. Preferred Auto Care came up b/c of the great reviews and now I know why!You can tell that the shop owner, Leo, cares about the business. The Lexus that I bought already has 143,000 miles so I got all the major fluids replaced (oil, transmission, brake fluid, & engine coolant) all drained and refilled.I really appreciate how they use OEM products from Toyota/Lexus instead of the cheap stuff. My car is driving so much better already!And it was MUCH cheaper than the Lexus dealership quoted me. Highly recommend them if you're looking for an honest and local business to support!!!

    Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Acura, Lexus only! Highly recommend this place if you own any of these makes and need an honest mechanic. Leo, the owner, is the most reasonable person I've done repair work with in Reno (have taken 5 different Toyotas here). Preferred never has tried to sell unnecessary services and they have fixed multiple issues Dolan Toyota could not. This place does book up quickly, so make an appointment in advance!

    Leo was awesome. This was my first time here, and right off the bat he saved big bucks. There was an issue that was covered under a recall and he sent me to the dealer. He is honest, and has earned my trust. I will be back, after years of looking for a mechanic/shop I can trust I have found one. Thanks Leo!!

    Professional, courteous and fair prices describe this auto repair shop. I had a blown out radiator and after calling around for estimates they responded immediately and provided excellent and timely repairs. Best auto mechanic shop I have ever encountered!

    This shop fixed the problem with our Honda Insight. The Honda dealer told us we needed a new motor. A big thank you to Leo and to Adam for finding this place.

    I was trying to jump start my Lexus RX330. The battery was drained due to the lights on overnight. However, I made a big mistake plugging the opposite polarity and car wouldn't start any more. I looked up Yelp and Google, both show Preferred Auto has a great rating, so I called up and Leo agreed to take my car despite he's already got a busy week schedule. I stopped by and explained the situation. He quickly identifed the issue, ordered the parts and got it fixed the next day! The price is very reasonable. I feel Preferred Auto is a place I can trust, and don't have to worry about being upcharged.

    Trustworthy, honest, smart and swift. My car decimated a brand new battery and started spitting yellow fluid everywhere, I had to go to work and was so so ill prepared. I had it towed to preferred auto around 1pm on a Friday expecting my upcoming work week to be ruined, instead Leo was handing my keys and sending me off to my perfectly fixed car. The experts recognized the problems right away and had parts on hand, I was home and worry free when I had expected to spend the rest of the night frantically scrambling for solutions. So glad to have found these guys! Now I actually have something to say when people ask me for a mechanic recommendation.

    Leo is great. He's a no-nonsense guy when it comes to your vehicle, which he only takes certain makes. He's very fair and friendly.

    We came to ski but the alternator had other ideas. This is an awesome repair shop and Leo is a straight shooter. Got us diagnosed, repaired and back on the road super fast.

    Preferred Auto Care is great. I had the front axle, control arm, struts, lift, and a few other things done on my vehicle. They did a excellent job on my vehicle. Customer service was great and they kept me informed about my vehicle as it was getting work done. They had alot to do on my vehicle so it was at the shop for a little while. My friends recommend this shop and I am glad they did because it is a good shop. I definitely support these guys. I would highly recommend checking them out.

    Preferred Auto Care is our go-to shop for Toyota service and a perfect alternative to Toyota, Honda, and Subaru dealerships. Leo is professional, knowledgeable, and his techs are better trained and have more experience than the local dealership.

    We've been taking our high mileage Honda and Subaru to PAC for a couple years now. Leo is a straight shooter, he's honest and professional. Our experience with his shop has been great. We will continue to take our vehicles here. Thank you Leo and the rest of the team for acting with integrity and taking care of our vehicles.

    Came in with worries of a major issue with my Subaru the other day, and Leo went out of his way (on a time pinch) to help me out for a fraction of the price I was expecting. Never going to the dealer again. Good, honest, and knowledgeable people — tremendous service. Thanks.

    I brought my 2017 Corolla iM commuter here based on the reviews I'd seen on multiple platforms saying the shop does good work for a reasonable price. Communication was good, and turnaround was very good as well. I'd taken my car in to replace the clutch and they ended up finding my transmission was an issue, as well, after completing clutch installation. They offered me a bit of a break, as there was some double labor involved, which was quite generous of them as I didn't dispute the cost of the job or request a deal. Nice folks in person, and I'll take my Toyota back to them in the future -- it will hopefully only be for minor maintenance!Thank you to Leo and team.

    I have been sending my vehicles to Preferred for several years, and they have always provided excellent service.Honest, straightforward people.Another shop had serviced my truck, and it barely ran. Preferred resolved the problem, a minor correction, but the other shop said the engine needed to be replaced. I recommend this shop to everyone I know with a Japanese import vehicle.

    Leo and team always do great work and offer good value. I have 2 Lexus, 1 Honda, and 1 Toyota, and they all go to Preferred for care and repair. Wish I could talk them into working on my Ford!

    A mechanic shop had "worked" on my daughter's Tacoma and it barely ran. That other shop charged nearly $1,000 for very bad service. Tom and Leo looked over the vehicle , we discussed the issue's and they corrected the problems for under $100. She went back to other shop and received the $100 as a refund.Preferred Auto Care has since serviced all our families vehicles and they run fantastic. Reliable, honest and affordable.
