I chose to try out Arrow Automotive because of their great reviews and responses to their reviews. I was not disappointed! I called to make an appointment for fluid exchanges as my car is nearing 90,000 miles. Before they scheduled the fluid exchanges I requested, they offered to do research to look into my specific make, model, and year to ensure that the items I was asking for would be due and pertinent. They called back within 10 minutes, gave me the research the found, and suggested a transmission exchange service and brake fluid exchange. I dropped my car the morning of my appointment and they were done before 2:00. This is the first car shop I've been to that doesn't smell of oil and tires. And the men behind the counter were dressed nicely in button down shirts with ties. They explained what the services would entail and what they should help with. And boy did my car sound and drive better than she has in a while! I recently went online to schedule an oil change and it was the easiest scheduling platform I've used. I even was able to get the day I wanted! Thank you for your exceptional service, care, clarity, and honesty. See you all soon for my oil change! read more

I needed a torque comverter in my 2001 GMC 2500HD. I got it done for LESS THAN HALF of what I was quoted. $4,300 vs. $1,890. read more

Had a vehicle that needed maintenance. The counter clerk made a mistake on the quote, the service writer caught it before the day of service, called to verify if I still wanted the service due to the increase in cost . During the service another fault was found. The service writer worked with my extended warranty and got some coverage. The vehicle was done on time, the service writer was on the ball with effective communication and addressing any concerns and problems. This is my go to shop now when I have a service request . read more

It's never easy deciding whether to spend $10,000 on a transmission -- that's what the dealership quoted me. I was so fortunate to find Arrow Automotive instead. They were very easy to talk to, honest, and professional, and I ended up paying $7,000 instead. That's a huge difference! My car runs amazing now, and I feel very lucky to have found them. Highly recommend! Oh! and that includes a 3-year 100k warranty. read more

I just want to say Steve that took my call today really helped take the scare out of finding a trusting service shop. Moving to a new location and not knowing who to trust SUCKS. I have been reading reviews for days now and finding no luck. A gentleman from church told me about arrow, so doing my checking... Made my call thinking here we go, Steve answered. Very professional, Polite, understanding of my concerns and now i will be going to arrow with my Acadia... Thank you Steve read more

Professional shop, by the book. Excellent work. They stick to their estimates to the penny. Had an issue with some work they did for me and they stood by their warranty and even cut me a place in line and got it fixed pronto. Highly recommended. read more

I don't usually write reviews -- if I pay for a service, I expect a fair service to be provided. It's their job! It is contract law. When the family's "Chevy guy" gave me an estimate for over $6000 to repair the transmission on my mom's 2002 Impala, I convinced her to get a second opinion at Arrow. They replaced an RPM sensor on the half/trans-axle for about $2400. Makes me wonder whether our "Chevy guy" even hooked the car up to a damned diagnostic tool for examination. Since then, I've had the brakes serviced and air conditioning compressor replaced, system re-charged. Timely estimates, good work, and conveniently located. read more

I made an appointment with Arrow Automotive to have the transmission fluid serviced in my 2019 Ford Fiesta. I made this appointment about a month in advance. After dropping my car off and returning home I received a call asking if I'd like to replace my coolant and cabin air filter for $300. Yeah, no thanks I'll do that at home. Then they informed me they wouldn't touch my transmission due to "Fiesta transmission problems." My car has no problems, just needed a regular service. I already knew about the transmission issues with earlier Fiesta models (2011-2016), but mine is a 2019 model. I called Ford Corwin, who confirmed that there was no reason the transmission couldn't be serviced. Now, I've had to make a new appointment with Ford, weeks out, and now take additional time off work. As an in-home children's therapist, my car is essential for my job, and this ordeal wasted not only my time but also my clients' time. I won't be returning to Arrow Automotive. read more

Update: 1/5/2025: As of this writing, 194,000 miles on my GMC Sierra 4L60e transmission since Arrow rebuilt it. My GMC Sierra now has 429, 000 original miles on it. (17 times around the world at the Equator). All I do is a full flush (which I know how to do), every 50k. Arrow did and does the rest. I take the best care of my 06 GMC Sierra and am picky who I let work on it. The Transmission shifts smooth and works perfectly to this day after being rebuilt by Arrow. Nice job Arrow Transmission Technicians! read more

Arrow Automotive is by far the most trustworthy shop I've ever been to. I've taken my cars to shops across Southern California, Northern California, and Northern Nevada, and Arrow Automotive consistently stands out. They always under-promise and over-deliver on both price and service. I recommend them to everyone and have never been disappointed. You can go here with total confidence. read more

I have had recent services done here for my Honda pilot. The Staff are excellent: approachable, informative, communicative, etc. They have a feature where they'll quote you the price of a service online. Once they even told me that I didn't need a service I was seeking. I've had to do payments while out of town, have had to have other people pick up my vehicle while I was away, and a random serious of other strange things that they work with so effortlessly. I will always come back here. read more

I don't usually write reviews for businesses. We're all busy-who has time to sit down and write a review about a business? I'm one of those people who thinks, if you didn't get a bad review, then that's proof you did a good job. Anyway, I've been a customer of Arrows Automotive for a few years now, and my experiences with them have been nothing but positive. What a breath of fresh air! I've tried many, many different types of car repair shops: from small independent repair and maintenance shops, to tire shops that also do car maintenance and repair, to dealership auto repair departments. All of them ended up disappointing me in one way or another. Some businesses out there are downright sinister. They'll recommend work on a car that isn't necessary or is purely optional. So nowadays, whenever I receive a list of recommended repairs from a car repair shop or tire shop, I go to Arrows Automotive for a second opinion. If the work turns out to be necessary, I trust Arrows Automotive more to do the job, and I leave my car with them. But sometimes, those recommended repairs are completely unnecessary, and Arrows Automotive suddenly becomes a good Samaritan by telling me so. My conclusion is, nobody's perfect. So, I don't know how long this good streak of positive experiences will last, but so far, so good! read more

Initially, I had excellent experiences at Arrow Automotive. When I came to them about an oil leak after my dealership oil change, they identified the problem as a bad oil pan plug screw, which they replaced free of charge. 10/10 experience. They'd became my preferred shop for oil changes and a coolant flush. They were professional and accomodating. Their facility is well-maintained and clean. The waiting room has comfortable chairs, and they provide coffee and tea. When their technician test-drove my car through a construction zone and splattered a few drops of tar on my passenger door, they provided cleaner and rags and we wiped the tar off together. The coolant flush was done superbly. The next oil change went off without a hitch, zero complaints. If anybody asked me where to go for oil changes or car work, I always told them that Arrow Automotive is the place to go. So today I was happy to go to them for my oil change. Strangely, the guy behind the counter was curt and unfriendly. I brushed it off as a Mondays thing. The technician was friendly and professional. The oil change, though somewhat pricy at $106, was done in the expected time without delays. Unfortunately, afterwards when I picked up my car and turned on my radio ALL of my songs were gone and my car console computer was reset to factory settings. I had built up a library of over 1,000 songs over the years, contributed by friends sitting in my passenger seat and putting their CDs into my radio to rip their songs to my car radio's harddrive. Yes, before phones when we used CDs! That's how old my songs were. They were sentimental because when they played, I would remember the friend who had shared that song. Now they are all gone. I went into the shop to mention it to give them a heads-up that their tech might be doing the oil-light reset incorrectly. The man behind the counter was immediately confrontational and combative. He said I was full of crap and was trying to blame them "again". He said he remembered me from helping me clean the tar off my door. He said I was just trying to cause more problems again.I didn't even think the tar thing was that big a deal, especially since they provided me with cleaner and a rag to clean the FRESH WET TAR off. But apparently it has been living rent-free in his head for the last two years. And now he thinks I'm making up my car radio/computer being reset. He became extremely rude and abrasive. I was completely in shock. When I recovered, I told him he had lost my business and I would never be coming back. They will no longer receive customer referrals or glowing recommendations from me. Maybe that guy behind the counter is burned out and needs to find a new job. I wonder if he would have acted like that if the owner wasn't out that day. read more

We have used their services for many years, top notch service people and technicians. We have never once had a complaint here and we are always treated respectfully. I love that we receive a full report in judging photos of any issues or concerns - including repairs. I wouldn't recommend anyone else for auto care. read more

Not only did they have the best pitching in town, they are good. Fast, really nice and a a great lobby to wait in. State of the art auto center. Thanks for keeping me running! read more

I am never coming here again. $160 for an oil change, oil filter change and a tire Rotation. They called and asked if I wanted the tire rotation but not that it was going to be extra. They also never called me to let me know my vehicle was ready. I had to call them to see if I could pick it up. Granted, I did ask for premium but the base price for that was $130! I'm sorry but inthe entirety of me owning a car I have NEVER paid that much for all of the above mentioned things. Update: a gentleman by the name of Monte reached out to me on multiple platforms to rectify the situation. He sincerely apologized and offered to either give me the same service for free in the next 5,000 miles or give me a gift card to a restaurant. I sincerely appreciate all that these gentlemen did to make sure I was happy in the end. Although expensive, I would recommend going here if you want to make sure you're taken care of. read more

Arrow Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I had the pleasure of speaking to Monte and he is a very upstanding guy! He definitely takes care of his customers and is making this right with us! I always had great experiences with Arrow Automotive in the past, before this last experience. Even though things didn't go very well for us the last time, Monte is going out of his way to make up for what happened. Thank You Monte! read more

Excellent customer service and prices! They installed a transmission on my Volvo XC70 and everything was perfect. They also keep up the maintenance on our Ford Windstar. If you want honesty and integrity, bring your vehicle here. Update 4/2023 still giving excellent service! My son brought in his 2015 Dodge Charger Scatpack for water pump replacement and received excellent service...STILL after covid FYI. They even offered a couple of financing options for my son in college but thankfully he didn't need it. Their prices are fair according to my extensive research and for that I am thankful. We so far have too many vehicles to list that have been repaired successfully by this facility. read more

Took my suv there for an issue, ask to check my brakes because they were grabbing. Found my rear breaks were almost to the rotor (after les swab) said my breaks were almost brand new. They also replaced my ac condenser due to they found it leaking at no charge since they worked on it last year. I have taken my vehicle there a few time and always happy with the ending results. read more

I'm updating my review. I'll start by saying this shop is reputable, and they do good work. It's done right. Every time even. I'm deducting my rating due to them charging 166$ for diagnosis regardless if they do the repair. So if your repair costs you 700$, which is average for this shop, then you're paying 866$. Used to come here for all repairs, big and little. Between the two of us we've probably spent around 8 thousand dollars here on a transmission, steering pinion and other misc things. I guess I'm just a little disappointed in the additional charge, I understand they probably deal with cheapskates every day, just seems like repetitive charging. read more

Had an emergency clutch issue in my Dodge last weekend & Arrow Automotive saved the day. They did an amazing job in record time. Thank you again! **HIGHLY RECOMMEND** read more

Update to my review I wrote on 4-19-20. James called me in regards to my review about my glove box. Thanks James for reaching out to me. It meant a lot. Our conversation was good and I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement and resolve the issue. Thank you Jeff Parr read more

Great crew and service. Always works hard to keep cost down and fix things right. If you want to stretch your car in this economy then this is the place you want to come for repairs. read more

I couldn't get into my prior mechanic... James & Chris worked me into their schedule and accommodated my graveyard hours. I was in & out in 15min...WOW ! I'll be back. Nice waiting room as well read more

Great customer service, honest, quality work and fair pricing! James, Tarryn and the crew are awesome! Fun and knowledgeable!

All I can say is that there are very, very few auto repair shops that you'll find anywhere that is five stars. I've owned many cars in my life time so I have lots of experience working with various shops my friends. Based on some repairs and interaction with their staff, I would say we are now regular customers of this shop; quality of work, trust and integrity. James is a pro. Gary... read more

Took my car in to get it looked at, turns out I had to get the transmission rebuilt. Though it sucked to have to pay that bill, they were professional and up front about the repairs. They did it for a reasonable price and the car has been running great. I have been coming here for years and they have always been honest. Would highly recommend! read more

These guys go above and beyond! Always fast and try to save you money. Very honest...Even helped me look over the car I was thinking of buying after a long run of bad ones. Convinced me to buy it...7 years later it is still the best car I have ever had! You can early hours drop box the key or they have rides home most of the time they can arrange. Thank you Arrow! read more

This review is based purely on their customer service. I called for a quote for an installation of a fuel pump on a 1998 blazer. From the moment the service guy started talking to me, I was put down as if I had no idea what I'm talking about and said he wouldn't order parts from O'Reilly Auto Parts as their second class. Then, when I was quoted over $800 for diagnostic,top of the line parts and labor, I was told "oh you can't afford it and hung up on me." If their customer service on the phone is this bad, then what is their customer service on repairs like. read more

Been happy with them so far they have dine 4x4 service for me aligned my truck and done oil changes.

This review is for service performed in April of this year. I took my girlfriends Versa here for a transmission flush and to have the pan dropped so we could see how much debris may be on the magnets. I was very pleased with the service as they took photos of the magnets for me and texted them before I even picked up the car. It was also only $257. I've had no problems or leaks since I left. I'll be coming back. read more

Don't think your getting away from the horrible job you did to my vehicle and charging me over $5000.00 when u quoted an estimate between $4000 - $4500 but once you heard i was taking out a loan you went and took as much money as you can. ROBERT YOU'RE A SCAMMER. I'll be posting up picture,videos and the receipt of the amount that MF charged me. Had my vehicle for almost a month and seems like they were rushing to fix my vehicle. found many problems. Missing caps, misplaced/missing screws, car returned to me and let me drove it out of their parking lot without replacing the thermostat, and said its normal, why the fuck was my engine temp way up there. ROBERT never replaced the thermostat and almost cause a major problem on my vehicle. ROBERT IS THE BIGGEST SCAMMER THERE "WATCH OUT FOR HIM" attorney on hand collecting evidence. Don't know how this place is 5 stars overrated. 1 star from the wife, daughter and I. Its time to exposed these scammers and this horrible establishment. More picture and video coming soon, pretty sure i know where i got scam and paid over $5000 60 1 star review because its my opinion, why TF you care about my 60 1 star review?instead worry about your salesman thats scamming customer. I'm complaining and you want to sound rude, Doesn't sound like a place where I'll bring my vehicle back to fix the repair your mechanics made. I will continue to leave 1 star reviews. I'm a human being and i have every right to leave a 1 star reviews just like your buddy robert who is now a customer. Dont ask me stupid question. read more

See all

Wow. This was my first time visiting this place. I dropped off my car for a diagnosis and told them up-front that I work on my own cars, and just want to know where a coolant leak is coming from, and some other minor things I couldn't figure out. Ian was super helpful. He understood that I wasn't a pro, but that I new enough to fix a problem. He quoted me roughly $100 for my A/C to be checked, and $100 for my ABS system to be checked. Also told me that since a leak can take a while to find, he'll call me along the way with updated prices on that. Well I got call SAME DAY with the full diagnosis, and a little inspection done. I found out what I needed and went to pick up my car, and guess what! He did not charge me for the diagnosis of the coolant leak and even confirmed the parts I found online for the vehicle were correct. They found no issues with my A/C, but since the problem was intermittent, he said to just give them a call if it has problems again and they'll look at it. This is the best experience I've ever had at a repair business, and I will definitely give them more business in the future. They made what is normally incredibly stressful easy, and they did not try to up-sell me, and was completely understanding when i said I'd fix it myself. Thank you Ian and anyone else who worked on my Blazer. You guys rock! read more

Transmission rebuild, It was time and needed. They were informative and helpful in making a few determinative decisions. Good quoting and timely service. Found the costs to be inline with the marketplace and very fair. Highly recommend. read more

I have been coming here for several years now with my Dodge Ram diesel and My Hyundai Elantra. More than once they have diagnosed and fixed the problem under the estimate and tweeked incidental issues, saving me a trip back. What a weight of your shoulders when you can trust your mechanic! Chris took the time to explain the issues and the best route to take. Highly recommend this place ‼ read more

Discovered our old pickup truck was in need of a new transmission about a week and a half before we needed to use it to head out to Burning Man. Yikes to say the least! Arrow Automotive pretty much saved the day for us by getting the transmission removed and rebuilt within 6 days. They even noticed that the mass airflow sensor probably needed to be changed out too, while they were in there, and let us know. We declined getting it changed, but later they were happy to do that for us as well, and it also helped a lot on our towing and gas mileage. We were a little hesitant to drive our old beast of a truck out to Burning Man, knowing that this was such a MAJOR overhaul just DAYS prior, but we were delighted with Arrow's work! We didn't have any issues, still haven't had any issues a month later, and after the follow up inspection, are still super happy with both their customer service, speed of service, and quality of work. Would definitely recommend Arrow Automotive as your Reno mechanic! These are great folks! read more

Talked to James on the phone regarding our Durango that wasn't able to turn over. Had it towed on a Monday morning. They were able to do the multipoint inspection and gave me a quote on the services needed. It was the fuel pump and it had a small water pump leak. They also recommended a battery replacement since ours was nearing 6 years. I'm not one for funny business but they did everything that needed to be done. I received a call at the end day Monday. I also received a call Tuesday afternoon with an update and I also received a call on Wednesday morning. Great communication. All in all, our vehicle was finished by Wednesday morning and at a fair price. Hopefully our vehicle will go another 270k. read more

I never write reviews. This is the exception due to the wonderful customer service, professionalism and competitive pricing Arrow Automotive did for my favorite Ford truck. Instead of spending 60 to 80,000 on a new truck, Arrow made my old truck run like new and I couldn't be happier. Michael Small and his happy 2004 Ford F150 read more

Great long time local automotive shop that specialize in Transmission repair. But also a dependable reliable repair facilities for all your auto needs. Huge reputation off doing things right the first time. Yes I'd recommend these boys read more

They we're going to charge me $360 for replacing a transmission sensor. When I asked how much the part cost I was told they didn't know and when I asked how long it takes to do the work the guy said 2-3 hours. I called Nissan and the adviser told me the part was $46 and takes about 45minutes to install. they were going to charge me $500 and when I said that was way too much they dropped it down to $300. When I picked up the car I was provided an invoice and on it was no information about any part numbers that were used nor the amount of labor. I think this place is scamming a lot of people and people are just not noticing it. read more
