Richie is the man! These guys are fairly priced and honest. Had them fix up some items on my dodge diesel as well as some unusual repairs on my classic chevy truck.

After searching for a reliable and honest shop for 3 years in Reno I finally found them. These guys are great,fast, and honorable. They took care of me for thousands under 2 other quotes, did a better job then I expected and went above and beyond.You can trust these guys and I highly recommend giving them a shot. You will not be disappointed

Richie and his mechanics do a great job on my cars every time and I know I can trust them. They've never up charged me and they also let me know of any new things or problems to be looking for in the future for my cars. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

Brought in a 1986 Ford F250for some clutch and transmission work, It was completed with professionalism and care. The knowledge that was brought to bear on my truck was enlightening and knowledgeable.

I brought my 1989 Ford diesel van to them. It needed quite a few repairs and it was hard to find a shop in town that would work on it. These guys were great! They were professional and I didn't feel like I got ripped off or that they were adding on any unnecessary work. The prices were on point for sure. I would definitely come back to these guys.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Richie is not only a great mechanic, but also a wonderful person. He truly cares more for his clients that mechanics are known for. While nobody wants to hear their car needs maintenance or repair, everyone wants to feel safe. Richie not only fixes my car, but he also gives me peace of mind while my family is on the road. Whether raising money for local charities or donating a portion of his business income, Specialty Automotive is a gem in this community!

A safe place for a female to bring her car and not get taken advantage of or looked down on when trying to mimic the sounds it's making. Richie and his team go out of theit way to provide excellent customer service and the sure fix! From a quick oil change to a major issue repair, they do it all for a very fair price.

I brought my Jeep TJ in for a head gasket and a few other things and Richie and Dustin took great care of me. They fixed several little things that can turn into big problems, washed it and test drove it to make sure everything was good. They go above and beyond for sure!

Affordable, honest and knowledgable. Virgil was always straightforward with me, would get to the bottom of whatever issue I was having and make sure it get done right. If ever a mistake was made he would make it right. I since moved out of Reno and will truly miss having him as my main mechanic.

Richie and his team are always courteous and professional. They are spot on with their diagnosis and offer options on fixes to fit your budget. They kindly give you all the facts and work within your time and budget limits. They never try to upsell anything unnecessary.

Richie's a great guy! Straight forward a honest to a tie. Really did a great job on my 01 f250. Id recommend him anyday.

My venerable TJ threw a rod bearing out on 395 while on a road trip. Limped it in to Richie, who evaluated and discussed at length the alternatives. We agreed a new (re-manufactured) engine was the best solution. Two weeks later, as promised, the TJ was ready to go. Most of that time was for waiting on the crate engine to show up, and after that Richie broke records installing it. Top notch service.

Virgil has been in business for a very long time and knows what he is doing. It's an affordable shop and I don't feel like they are trying to rip me off like most automotive shops.
