Very knowledgeable and honest. He didn't take a shotgun approach to my oil leaks, rather, he carefully tracked them down and saved $ in the process. read more

The only person that we have found that's not afraid to work on our 95 VW Eurovan! A great mechanic 10/10 recommend!

Doran was amazing. I was in Tahoe from the Bay Area and needed help with my back camera. Doran didn't have the replacement part but even if he ordered the part it wouldn't arrive on time. He helped me take the camera done and patch up the electrical for safety and didn't charge me anything for his expertise and time. He's just an honest business and just out there to help in what ever capacity he can. read more

Recently serviced my Jaguar F Pace. I called around town for decent prices and Doran's Foreign Car Service was the only one who didn't try to charge me a crazy amount. Great service and trustworthy. read more

While getting an oil change, I learned that my front cv axle boot was ripped. I'm by no means a car expert, so after calling around this place offered significantly lower prices than a lot of the other places in town. I got an appointment a few days later. The owner was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave me a great price with lifetime guarantee. Definitely recommend this place if you also drive a foreign car! read more

Helped me solve a front end shudder on my Honda Element. Knowledgeable and good guy. Will be going back.

On a road trip from Seattle when the alternator broke in Reno. Doran was extremely helpful and fit us in same day. He found the part and fixed the problem. We dropped the car off at 10:30 and it was ready for us to get back on the road before 3. He showed us the price breakdown for parts and only charged us for 2 hours of labor. He was cheaper than the Mercedes dealer and fixed the problem faster then their estimate. He was very nice and a really good person. Very trustworthy. Told us to call if we had any car questions the rest of our trip, even if we weren't in Nevada anymore. Astounding customer service and honesty. read more

No one was open on a Sat and Doran came and helped us out. Making service and great price. Thank you! read more

Great guy, gets jobs done in a timely manner. He takes pride in his work. Highly recommend this shop for any of your vehicle needs.

My Audi Q5 check engine light came on after a rough start unexpectedly. I was in the middle of a road trip and needed to get it looked at ASAP. Doran was super helpful, squeezed me in at the end of the day, and checked my car out. All was well with the car, and he reset my light and sent me on my way, taking only my plentiful thank yous as payment. He seemed like a genuine and honest guy, someone I'd return to if I lived in Reno. Thanks again Doran! read more

I have a 97 Accura rl that the electric motor and gears on the steering column that controls the tilt broke. Accura dealership could not help me. Doran said he would be glad to look at it. He looked it up on you tube on how to repair this item and had the knowhow and tenacity to stick with it and get it fixed. Can't repair the the motor or gears but can manually raise or lower the steering column to the right height for comfort and put it back to together and leave it alone. Very hard to fix as you have to get under the steering column but he did it and now I can drive it in comfort. Highly recommend Doran. He will be my mechanic from now on. Just moved to Reno and needed a good mechanic. I found a great mechanic. read more

Bought a car in Reno during my vacation and needed to get a tow hitch installed on my truck. Called about 20 shops and most were closed or didn't want to do the job. Doran saved me from staying through the weekday and installed it within 2 hours. Thanks again! read more

Very please with our experience. All I can say is Doran is exceptionally honest! We drove up to Lake Tahoe from Orange County and after an 8 hour drive our check engine light came on. Your worst nightmare when you're away from your home and everyone you usually use for service. A scan for the codes was showing a bad intake air sensor. When Doran checked the history he said the sensor was relatively new. Basically he cleaned everything up, thought perhaps we sucked up a twig and checked the engine thoroughly. In one hour we were back on the road and the Volvo was running great. Clearly he could've replaced a part that might not be necessary like dealerships tend to do at a much higher cost. We left with only Doran's labor fee. By the way I also overheard a conversation between Doran and a tow truck driver that was dropping off a disabled truck for service. Doran was making sure the potential customer got a good tow rate. I'm telling you this guy has your back...Five stars all the way! read more

Mr. Doran was amazing highly recommend his auto shop he stayed late to repair our car to get us back on the road from out of town

Doran's has been very honest, up-front with the work I needed. will explain why the work is needed and answers questions. I am extremely happy with both product Doran recommended and outcome of work. He really knows cars thru and thru, as well as situations and conditions that may warrant needed maintenance, product, or repairs. super happy I found this place and won't go anywhere else in town! read more

Just had my starter replaced. Doran is a great guy, trustworthy, and fair. He got my car right in and got it fixed. He also suggested some maintenance things that need to be done so he is putting together a schedule for that. Such a relief to go to a mechanic shop and not have to worry about being lied to or ripped off. Highly recommend!!! Thanks Doran! read more

He answered his phone on a Saturday, walked our friends through an issue and went out of his way to help them. They were at the beginning of a cross country trip and for them going. Highly recommend. read more

My dad and I have been taking our vehicles to Doran for years. He's the kind of mechanic who lets you watch him fix your car, tries (and succeeds!) in saving us money and even checks out my tires before he hands me my keys. And what other mechanic encourages you to call him in the middle of the night for emergencies? I refuse to take my "baby" to anyone else read more
