    The employees were nice and the smog check was quick. They also let me pay the registration fee and the smog at one time which was convenient. However, the employees were not very clear or concise as to what was going on. I felt that it was vague as to what I was paying for, how the process worked, etc.

    There goes my Baby for a smog at Foster's! Excellent, fast service!

    My first smog in Reno was today at Foster's. My next ones will be there, too. That's because the service was fantastic (two thumbs WAY UP for Vince), lightning fast and reasonably priced (especially with the Yelp check-in combo deal). My Baby (aka my Honda Civic) absolutely loved it!

    We didn't know where to take our car so it was great finding Sierra and working with Vince and Brandon.

    Can I give this place 5 stars for NOT working on my car?? Let me explain -- my car had been making…read morea noise like an RC car running out of juice and the guys at the auto part store said the alternator was going out. Lovely. I had called a few places around town and ZZZ was able to (A) get me in right away, (B) provide a precise quote for what I thought was the issue over the phone and (C) make me feel immediately "safe" with them in that first call. When asking if I wanted refurb or new parts, the price was about $150 difference. I originally said new, but they advised me about the warranty on refurb parts and not to feel scared of it. I appreciated that they didn't just take my money. Once I arrived, I told them about the previous convo at the auto store and they did some diagnostic tests, all while letting me stand there and watch. About 10-15 minutes later and some dusting stuff off they're like...nah you're good. If anything I needed a new battery, but they said even that was in pretty good shape. They offered to install that for me if I wanted, but basically said that I could just go. Since then, my car has been totally fine! A less ethical place could've easily just cheated me, charged for XYZ or installed a new alternator anyway. So they didn't really do work on my car this time, but their honesty 10000% earned my business for the next time a problem arises.

    My 2024 Kia K4 was brought to the diagnostic with no start after the engine did not start…read more The crew ensured that they had the right equipment to the new model year and went ahead to conduct a systematic check-up. The results were described in a clear manner and I was provided with a clear outline of the further steps. The diagnostic work was of good quality and did not have any unnecessary additions. Pricing was negotiated beforehand and the final price was in line with the estimate which was fair value of the service offered. The process was generally well-organized and clear, and I would go back in case I require additional help.

    Honestly, I had a really good experience here…read more Nile was the one who initially helped me and recommended starting with a compression test first instead of jumping straight into expensive repairs. That really stood out to me because it showed they actually wanted to make sure the engine was worth fixing before spending more money. After that, Clayton took over and continued helping me through the process. He explained everything clearly and kept me updated the whole time. They found multiple issues like intake leaks, an injector problem, and a radiator leak, but I never felt pressured to fix everything at once. I really appreciated that they worked with me and let me prioritize what I could afford. I ended up fixing the main issue, and the misfire is now gone. The car is running much better. Repairs aren't cheap, but I felt like they were honest and transparent throughout the whole process. Communication was great, and I always knew what was going on. Overall, I'd definitely recommend CoAuto if you're looking for a shop that actually explains things and doesn't pressure you into unnecessary repairs.

They take pictures and video to show you what things actually look like vs what they should look like. Also big shout out to Nile whose unusual rep for repairs, he's super communicative with where they're at. The shop also has a couple loaner vehicles which came in clutch when I had to get my timing chain fixed. I was able to still get to and from work. The staff here is super nice and I feel like they care for my car as if it's their own. On my last repair they asked if they could hold onto my car for another day cause they weren't satisfied with where they got it and wanted to double back and tweak a couple things to hopefully give my car back in as best condition as possible.(this wasn't any extra cost). I also love doing my oil changes here, they check a bunch of other areas of your car while they do the oil change and give you a rundown of recommended fixes. Also if not they have never pressured me on any fixes which eases my mind. Pressure sales in the auto industry feel fake and dishonest to me. Also, they give your car a quick wipe down of the consoles and vacuum as long as your car isn't full of stuff. It feels nice to get your car back a little cleaner than you gave it to them.

    I was recommended by multiple sources to come to this place and my only regret is not doing it…read moresooner. They are lovely. Their prices are incredibly fair and they're not going to talk you into stuff you don't need. I went to another place in town that told me I needed $1500 in maintenance and then when I asked again two months later, someone at the same shop told me I needed $400 in routine maintenance. I came here for an oil change and told them that if they noticed anything they thought needed a tune up - I was game as I was about to make a big cross country trip. They came back and said everything looked great. I ran through the list from the first quote I had and they eased my mind. They let me know that they thought all of that was unnecessary and didn't make sense given the past maintenance and state of the vehicle. It was so nice to feel like I was dealing with honest humans. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for routine or necessary maintenance!

Since I am having the oil change there, I scheduled for the 4runner to get an oil change.. for next week.
