Performed an entire 360 inspection on my Subaru Forester and boy did I learn a lot from the mechanics and front desk people over at CoAuto. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Thanks guys! read more

I just picked my VW Touareg up after having some repairs done, and it drives like a dream. I love this place!

This place is awesome, and the guys that work here are phenomenal. They're all super friendly and willing to help with whatever you need. VERY knowledgeable and patient in explaining things to me. They answer the phone even after they're closed (while they are closing up shop)! They are so, so helpful and nice, even when you know they are trying to go home, and it's after 5. That showed me they truly care about their customers and are genuine human beings. I appreciated that so much. I'm a young, single female and I feel that it is so difficult to find a place that I can trust, and that doesn't feel like the guys are trying to take advantage of me, trick me, etc. I didn't feel that way at all here and I highly recommend them. Great prices and very reasonable! read more

This place was incredible and saved our family road trip. Car broke down driving down from CA and they were able to squeeze us in even though it was obvious they were busy. Vinnie was great in finding and fixing the issue before the day ended. Matt was fantastic in keeping us updated on the progress. He and Rochelle helped us and our kids find a place to eat and hang out while we were waiting. They turned a very stressful situation into a positive outcome and we were able to continue our trip. These guys are for real and I'd highly recommend them. read more

Also....the front desk lady kinda has a bit of an attitude if your not telling her what she wants to hear. Kinda like her way or the highway. I'd ace her get a nice girl. read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable people. I love their Community oriented Style and the artwork they display in their shop!

This is the only place in town where I'll bring my car. They've gone above and beyond on every visit, even driving me home on one particular occasion when my ride fell through. You work one on one with a technician and almost feel as if you know the crew by name by the time you leave. Really great experience. Plus! They make a point not to sell me any maintenance that isn't necessary. They'll tell me exactly what needs to be done that day and add on detailed footnotes about what should be done in the next 6 mos. to a year. Beautiful space inside that makes a point to feature rotating artists with pieces available for sell without taking a commission. I'm impressed every time, keep it up! read more

I can't stop telling my friends about what a great experience I had at CoAuto. They could have milked me hard and left me dry with no legitimate recourse. Instead, they kept me informed, gave me honest recommendations and helped me make a very difficult decision. If a good shop is worth their collective weight in gold...CoAuto is priceless. I called because I liked a picture of the well done art on the wall in the shop when I was scrolling shops online and I went in because the friendly voice on the other end of the phone sounded like she really wanted to help. When I walked in the shop was well lit, clean and inviting...it felt good to be there. A quick chat with Rochelle at the front desk led me to understand quickly that CoAuto is not just an auto shop but a community support system reaching out to promote local artists and helping young people find their passion for the automotive trade, but don't think for a second that they let their good deeds distract from quality, thorough work. The high tech digital method CoAuto uses to document and explain every detail of their work on your vehicle is incredible, informative and comforting. They go above and beyond to help their customers understand what is happening with their vehicle by posting quality pictures and video with attached notes. They earned my trust and it feels pretty amazing. If you're looking for a specialist to take care of your vehicle then CoAuto is the place to go because they specialize in taking care of the people who's vehicles keep this town moving. They're not just good at what they do, they're good to you, too. Thank you CoAuto, I appreciate you. read more

Brought my Nissan 350z to them to have water pump fixed. I had asked on phone when making apt about the timing chain and it's components as they needed to be altered to get water pump out. Was reassured by service writer that it was no problem and they'd have my car back to me within 1 days. 3 days later my car has been broken by one of there techs and now they are calling me saying I need to pay for the parts and labor there tech broke? Fuck CoAuto. If you want your car fucked up and the owner to not do shit then ya bring your car here for sure! I am now dealing with small claims court as I am sueing them for destroying my property. Thanks again CoAuto! Your guys are a joke. read more

I've dealt with CoAuto a couple of times since my longtime mechanic died last year, and I think I've found my new place. They do careful and accurate work, and while they're pretty busy, when I went in late on a Friday morning with a minor emergency, they squeezed me in so I could have the car for the weekend. A couple of concerns: They're a "paperless shop," so you get a text to your cell phone, not a paper receipt. If I ever need a record, I won't be able to find it. Just gimme a copy. And they make such a point of explaining how much they plan to check before they'll do what you came in for that it begins to sound like "upselling." I got a detailed note (on my phone) explaining that I needed new windshield wipers for $58 (had a set in the trunk that I'd bought for $14 a few days before but hadn't installed), and they recommended that I change spark plugs--for $438! To be fair, I've never changed plugs on this car, but I've done it on many others. On most, it's about a 10-minute job, and my four plugs cost $10 each. But there's an easy DECLINE option on the text message, and they don't seem to hold a grudge if you use it. All in all, I'm pleased with CoAuto, and I'll certainly go back read more

These guys are AWESOME! They do fantastic work. They did our oil change and made sure we knew exactly what was going on. They didnt try to up sell us, even if we told them it was something we wanted to fIx on our own, but instead told us awesome for being resourceful. We used their services during the tough times caused by COVID-19 and their mantra was 100% about keeping the Reno community alive. PLEASE USE THEM!!! read more

This place was great. Friendly staff and I like the response via email showing that they checked the rest of the vehicle. I will definitely be continuing a relationship with this company. read more

Incredible service. We have a Tesla and GREAT job. Will use again and again. Beyond great. Went so far out of the norm to help and I can recommend to all Tesla owners in the area for price, quality and trust read more

Outstanding Service, Great Friendly & Genuine People! Beautiful Facility. Best Experience I have ever had at an auto repair facility. Highly, Highly Recommend these guys! read more

While searching for a place to repair my auto was attracted to the fact that this business was dog friendly (Otis, the shop pup is fantastic!!) and Vincent was very prompt responding to my email request for a quote. After conversation with James on the phone it was decided that I needed to bring the vehicle in for a level one diagnostic, quoted price for that was $194. Took in at appointed time first thing in the morning with full understanding that I would be leaving the vehicle with them for a day or two. Received a call later that day that Brenton their European specialist was able to diagnose to a certain extent but Mercedes are OFTEN a fickle beast and mine being an older vehicle it is indeed fickle. After much conversation with Brenton have a plan of attack how to proceed but most startling is the fact that because they could not diagnose to their expectations I was only charged a nominal $89 and I have the comfort of knowing that IF I/we can locate what is needed to fix Co Auto will most certainly be there to finish up what needs to be taken care of. They certainly went out of their way thus leaving me feeling like some faith has been restored in humanity (melodramatic I know, but hey, that's how I feel about this experience. read more

Basically paid them $300 to ruin the motor on my car. My car sat in their shop for 2 weeks with a cylinder 6 misfire. My car had never overheated or got anywhere close to overheating before I brought it to them. They quoted me almost 20k for a brand new motor and labor costs AND tried to up sell me on other "recommended maintenance" eg. new wiper blades and new license plate bulbs. Wtf. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

CoAuto has worked on my vehicle a few times now, and every time, they under-promise and over-deliver. The entire team is kind and respectful. The owners, two brothers, are great mechanics and just all around nice guys. Their new facility is a work of art. They display a ton of local artist's work, and the shop has a beautiful mural on the wall. I've done some work for a number of mechanic shops in town on the IT side of things, and I have never seen a shop as clean as theirs. I once heard a saying, that you can tell how much a tradesman loves his trade by how well he takes care of his tools, and this shop is the epitome of that saying. The "Co," in CoAuto, apparently stands for Community Conscious, and with the number of services, classes, and amount of charity they do for the Reno-Sparks community, really shows that they mean it. Every time I have had my vehicle worked on, they have spent the time to educate me on what they did, why they did it, and how I can take better care of my vehicle. Not to mention, they also provide an amazing warranty and reimbursement for towing, up to a certain amount, for a year or two. I am not sure where else in Reno, you can get the same level of service and warranty, as you can here. I will be taking my vehicle here, from here on out. I recommend the same to anyone reading this. read more

CoAuto is great! A friend referred me when my car needed some work and they were wonderful! My car was in and out very quickly, given the amount of work and the semi-vagueness of the problem. Albert was in touch with me every step of the way and I was given the opportunity to approve everything before the work was done. I ended up spending more than I thought but it was because I had not done the proper maintenance on this "second car" and needed to catch up. I will be taking the car back for regular maintenance from here on!! Thank you Albert and Vinnie!!!!! read more

I had such an amazing experience at CoAuto. Not only did they have fantastic customer service, but they were very honest with me about what needed to get done to my car, what could wait, and what was easy enough to do myself (which helped knock the bill down). The atmosphere of the shop was clean and had a lot of artwork from local artists, whichI thought was super rad. I felt supported while I was there and I won't be taking my car anywhere else in Reno. read more

I had the best experience I've ever had with any auto repair, my car broke down south of town and they let me tow my car there, and started working on it that day even though my original appointment was scheduled for the next day. All the staff was incredibly friendly, and they fixed my car up much sooner than they initially predicted. I would recommend CoAuto to everyone! read more

Very professional car broke down coming in from sac they took care of me when they were only open for one more hour understanding I'm from out of town and would be stranded.. Fast friendly and cool art through out shop if your in Reno check them out!!!! read more

As a young college student I'm always pretty hectic to walk into any auto shop. CoAuto was so welcoming and went above and beyond. Rochelle at the desk was incredibly nice and extremely caring. They even taught me how to check my own fluids! Highly recommend this place! read more

Our 2006 Honda CR-V needed some work. These folks were awesome, helpful and fair! And the fact that they give back to the community earns them 10 stars in my book read more

The team was very welcoming. They sat and explained what they were going to do and why with me, even when it was time for them to be closing up. The technician even came out and shook my hand. They are respectful of you as a customer and did a wonderful 60,000 tune up on my Subaru. read more

So I literally downloaded yelp just so I could write a review about this amazing company! Rochelle and Matt are extremely friendly and helpful as you walk in. During the entire process I received updates about my truck including pictures and videos. Matt called me and answered any questions I had. When I struggled finding a ride to go pick up my truck these amazing people drove my truck to me! Can't recommend them enough, I will never go anywhere else! read more

CoAuto puts personal service first. From the moment my daughter and walked in to have some work done on her Prius, they treated us like friends as well as valued customers. All service recommendations were run by me via text and web interface, complete with photos, before any work was done. The work itself was thorough and there were no hidden charges; on the contrary, they went out of their way to make our service experience as affordable as possible. And they go paperless as much as possible. Highly recommended. read more

My experience was great. I just moved here from out of state and needed some maintenance. I looked for Yelp reviews and this place did not disappoint. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and quick service made this an excellent visit. read more

CoAuto is awesome! What more could you ask for that an honest mechanic that's community focused and environmentally conscious. I was in a bind and on a short schedule and they accommodated my auto needs with no questioned asked. Everything was explained well with easy communication and before I knew it, i was back on the road worry free. It's really refreshing to drive away from a shop knowing I didn't get taken advantage of due to my lack of automotive knowledge. I know we can all relate to this. So instead of questioning whether or not you're going to get screwed over on parts or labor costs just go to CoAuto. read more

Anthony and Vinnie are the best. I took my 2009 Audi A4 here for my turbo to be replaced (not exactly a small fix), and it was was an absolutely flawless job. Not only did they offer the best price, they provided excellent customer service, and got my car back to me in no time. read more

BEWARE OF THIS SHOP, people at the office are friendly and you feel welcome but its is not sure your car will be fixed properly. This year, I took my car to Co-Auto shop because the engine light was on and I was concerned about that. The technician assured me the problem would be fixed once they replace certain parts (spark plugs, etc) in the car that would cost more than 1,400. However, They FAILED to warn me it was uncertain that after spending the plus 1,400.00 that the problem would be fixed. Other wise I would had never spend that amount of money.. Well, they not only did not fixed the main issues on my car , but after spending all of that money they made my car worst, for now the engine light is not only permanently on, but flashes when the car comes to a stop, I am very disappointed in this shop, I used to trust them but it seems they no longer care about being honest to costumers. neither care about losing them. read more

The service people and staff here were so helpful, they explained everything and prices were very reasonable. We will be lifetime customers.

This whole team is great from Rachelle in the office to each and every technician. No surprise since the owners set the tone with their amazing communication and service. Oh - you have to check out their new digs. Huge shout out to the muralist. Thanks guys - I won't go anywhere else. read more

The guys at the shop were so friendly! I was able to get my car in quickly, they fixed it quickly and at a great price. I'm thrilled with the service. I highly recommend these guys. read more

Just one of the many reasons I use Co-Auto. While cleaning out console area a penny fell into cellphone charger jack blowing fuse. I could not find what fuse blew. I was going to wait for regular maintenance but something came up & I needed to take a last minute 509 mile trip. They got me in, found the fuse & got me on my was in less than 1/2 hour. No charge. I have been a customer for almost 5 years & will continue to be one as long as I live here. read more

Best mechanic ever! These guys are awesome! Competitively priced, really honest, fast, friendly, and clean! Their shop is awesome, ever since my first oil change here, I can't say enough good things about the place. If ever you're having car troubles, or even if you just need basic maintenance, this is the place to go!!! read more

I was in a real bind when my car started making loud noises. They found the problem and found the least expensive way to fix it safely! It wound up being my AC compressor. They got me up and running that day and put up with a ton of my phone calls asking questions. They were courteous and professional! I will be back in summer to replace the compressor because they are about $300 less then other shops I called around to. Thank you!! read more

Co Auto is unlike any other auto shop, Ill give you an example. I got a diagnostic frm auto zone for my check engine light, they gave me a list of parts i needed to replace. It was very expensive. So i give co auto a call and ask them how much it would cost to buy and install all these parts. I talk to Vinnie. The first thing he says is how do you know that you need all this. I tell him about auto zone and he starts telling me the truth about malicious auto company tactics, INSTEAD of taking advantage off my little knowledge about cars, He says that auto zone does this diagnostic to just sell parts and that doesn't really tell you about the underlying problem causing all those codes to pop up. So he suggests to me, instead of throwing parts at it and hoping for the best(Those were his exact words) He asks me to bring the car in for a diagnostic. I didn't want to do it because i thought he was just trying to make money off of me because it costs around $100. Well i end up doing the diagnostic and it turns out that the 5 problems i had were actually being caused by ONE faulty wire that had something to do with my turbo, it cost $18 to buy that part, compared to the $1100 worth of parts i was initially going to buy. This is my first amazing experience with a mechanic and these guys gave me the confidence to keep my car because i now have amazing ppl at co auto, really here to help you with your car and not scam you. The good vibes and smiles these guys give off are completely incredible, i was sad when my car was fixed because i didn't have an excuse to go hang out with them. lol These guys are so great professional and more honest than a preacher! haha Go check em out, you wont be disappointed. Love this place! read more

My 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid threw a "check engine" light and a "check emission system soon" message at me recently. I knew a trip to the dealer would cost me an arm-and-a-leg (even though they have serviced the vehicle since it was new). I had heard good things about CoAuto from several friends, so I gave it a go. Not only did the lead mechanic pull the diagnostic code when I dropped it off, so I would know what the problem was with the car, they e-mailed me a complete report and installed my new thermostat efficiently. My car has returned to my previously great gas mileage, too! The staff of CoAuto are a pleasure to deal with, are honest as the day is long, and are very technically up-to-date, using e-mail and text to communicate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

These guys are great. My mechanic, who I had used for over 15 years, closed up shop. I was nervous about finding another honest mechanic. My neighbor recommended Co Auto. Thank God. They are professional and courteous. They give you updates via text regarding work that needs to be done including pricing and give you the option of accepting or declining the work. They also provide pictures of the work that needs to be done and also videos of the work while it is being done. They are awesome. I had a minor issue with my bill and they immediately corrected it. Highly recommend! read more

I've had 3 of my vehicles worked on by Co-Auto over the last six months and each time they have been very professional, completed my work on time, and at a reasonable price point. Their service technicians are very helpful, and knowledgeable of mechanical processes needed to keep your vehicle safe and in good running order. They communicate throughout the process and keep you informed of vehicle recommendations and pictures that verify their suggestions. These are folks that are truly concerned about you and your vehicle, not driving the invoice total. They are competent, helpful, and professional. They exceed my expectations, and I recommend them whenever I have the opportunity. read more
