Our Customer Reviews

Efficient and timely
Sam Somerhalder Sep 9, 2023

Excellent and efficient service. They were able to diagnose and fix a problem that the dealership was unable to solve. I was impressed with their professionalism and transparency. I will not hesitate to use their shop again in the future.

What a great company!!
shirley spangler Mar 3, 2026

Automotion has been our go to mechanic for our vehicles for many years. As we approach 250,000 miles, it gives us piece of mind that we have trusted pros making sure we’re ready for long haul trips, like our recent one to the midwest — though ice/snow and mountain passes. These guys help keep your vehicles reliable and safe! Thank you Automotion team!!

I loved that they dropped me off at my house and picked me up again when the work was done.
Steve Kolbow Mar 3, 2026

Good service. Chris was very helpful. Shuttle service was greatly appreciated as I only have one vehicle. As far as price goes, honesty and integrity and quality are more important to me than the cost. If my vehicle breaks down again I will give them a call. Keep up the good work. Dave Cronk.

These guys are great. I came in right at opening on a busy Monday and explained my ABS light was on just 3 weeks after getting it fixed and HAD to drive to Vegas the next day. They squeezed me in, explained that the previous shop didn’t fix my issue correctly, fixed it for me, and I was out of there by 2. They had doors tall enough for my campervan so if you’re looking for a great shop in Reno this is it
Ricki Hoffman Mar 3, 2026

Easy to schedule. Used the night drop—super easy w follow up at scheduled drop time. Very good conversation on need to have vs nice to have (aka we can get it next time). During the Christmas season this gave me great confidence I was still keeping my car dependable until my next service inspection. Great team at Automotion. Been w them 6 years w 4 cars across three makes. I will never go back to a dealership!

Saul Valencia Nov 11, 2025

They quickly identified the problem and repaired it. The estimated repair cost was accurate and reasonable. I’ll go back
Paul Dieringer Nov 11, 2025

I've trusted this shop since I moved to Reno 20 years ago. They were highly recommended then and I can say the same today. The Service Advisors are honest with me on the condition of my vehicle, what needs attention now and what can be addressed at a later time. The mechanics/technicians have massive skills on top-end vehicles, so my SUV was a piece of cake. I trust the work is done right the first time and I have never been disappointed. Why go anywhere else?

John was very helpful taking me home after I dropped off my car for service. I now have 2 working headlights!
Kathy Harada Oct 10, 2025

I had great service by both Shauna and the other gentleman. I was looking to buy a used car with a lot of mileage and year. I can’t remember the gentleman’s name but he really advocated for me during the discussion with the seller and advised me honestly in a really helpful manner. If you are young or of modest means it’s worth the checkup to avoid major issues, they saved me at least 1.5k and squeezed me in the same day
Sana Rahmani Sep 9, 2025

I came in for a wheel alignment. There was a miscommunication over the phone around price. Jason, the manager, honored the much lower price I was quoted over the phone. It’s that’s kind of gesture that will bring me back to this shop. All around they were communicative, honest, transparent, and friendly. 5 stars.
Maxim Dobrushin Sep 9, 2025

It was a nice looking shop with many very nice antique cars in the lot. Jason was pleasant, professional and responsive on the phone. However, I had made an appointment to have a key smith make a key for my car, and drove an hour each way to get to the shop to get there. And the key smith didn’t show up. So I was disappointed at driving nearly 110 miles and wasting my time for this. On the other hand, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and have something done at the shop that they self-performed because they were as decent as they could be about the situation. They had a nice coffee machine for customers that I appreciated, too, and a good place to hang out and work while you wait if you need that. Nice people.

Had my Ferrari taken care of quickly. Awesome. I’ll be back

Automation Service and Repair maintains all of our family vehicles with reasonable prices and professional pride.! 5 stars !
Biviano Vasquez Nov 11, 2019

Excellent service. Definitely 10/10. The service technician did a fantastic job at servicing and repairing my Bentley. Usually I would have to send my car to the Bentley dealership in San Francisco for repair and servicing. Automation provided much better service and communication than the Bentley dealership. Jason was an extremely effective customer service representative. Highest recommendation.

Automotion is the best repair shop in Reno, they always do the job right the first time.
clifford candevan Apr 4, 2023

I took my car in to have the suspension checked because I was staying to hear some squeaking when I drove over bumps and rough road. After they test drove it, they said that the springs and struts tested normally, so they lubricated them and said that all should be good in a couple of days once the lube worked into the system. And they're were right! Their integrity saved me hundreds of dollars when they could have opted to replace parts that were still good. That's how a company builds trust with us customers.
Wally Murray (luvinthislife) Dec 12, 2024

Absolutely lovely establishment, so many great things about this place, between the excellent service, the great bathrooms and the wonderful dogs to greet you and pet, I absolutely recommend coming here for any car needs, especially who have a Mercedes sprinter. The staff is super kind of knowledgeable and are willing to work with you if you have special needs for your vehicle like we have with ours. They will even put your lug nuts on in a certain order if you ask them to. Very detail oriented, very professional absolutely recommend coming here for everything you need!!

A surprisingly refreshing experience.
Susan Mahoney Oct 10, 2024

They fixed the problems I was having with my electrical, and even fixed a loose connection that would have been a problem that I didn’t even know about! Great service, and a great attitude with the front desk, who were kind enough to work with me while my card was having issues being cleared with Visa till it all worked out in the end!
