We`re your American Car Care Center dealer

We have been serving Reno, NV for the last 15 years. Last year we moved from our old store on Virginia St to the new location @ 590 Kietzke Ln. The new facility is 9600 sq. feet. We purchased a lot of new equipment when we moved including two new racks, new tire equipment, new flush machines, and more.

Don`t Get Suckered!

I received a Valu-Pack coupon from this vendor offering a $20.00 oil change. The coupon stated the facility was across from Mervyns which I didn`t believe existed anymore. After driving around for 15 minutes I discovered that the facility was next to Sav-Mart across from Ross and used to be acrossed from a Mervyns. Upon entry I was greeted almost immediately. I was informed that because I had a small truck the pr... view moreice would be $30.00 and not the $20.00 special. The price board above the counter listed regular oil change price for trucks at $30.00. The vehicle was ready when promised; however, vendor brought a Motorcraft (original) part to me and stated it was gummed up and should be replaced for $6.00. The part appeared clean and he stated that the part wasn`t from my vehicle as he was afraid to remove it due to it possibly being brittle. The part in question does not get brittle and is attached by two hoses. I agreed to the ""upgrade"" even though I didn`t believe the vendor. The vendor then suggested several unecessary repairs. Tito stated that I needed spark plugs and cables as they were corroded which would be an additional $150.00 (this is a $20.00 do-it-yourself job), a fuel filter (which I just had replaced within the last two months, a radiator flush as the fluid was dirty (I just put new fluid in that morning, and other repairs. This is a dishonest vendor that is out for the money to perform unecessary overcharged repairs. Additionally, the $20.00 oil change came to a total of $39.00 - Not a deal at all!
