Half / Price Auto Repair

The best mechanic I’ve ever worked with. Explained everything, went above and beyond with service and quality of work. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

This is the only mechanic I ever want to look at my cars from now on. Robert is great at what he does and he’s honest.

These guys were amazing!
Back story:
I had a bad belt, my Dad changed it for me and didn’t tighten it properly. So it squealed every time I started my car up.
A few weeks ago, I loaded my car down and headed to Burning Man. On my way over the pass on I80 my car started to smell like burning rubber and squeal while it was running.
What does a girl do? I called my Dad! He said, call a mechanic!
I call these guys and asked how much it’d be too access the damage. He says free! So I head straight there!
Long story short, they find out the smell was coming from my loose belt. They fixed it for free and had me back on the road within 15min!!! Did I mention this was 10:30pm on a Sunday night?!? Like I said, these guys are AMAZING! If you’re in a tight spot, call them!

Robert is a lifesaver. He met me and my brokedown RV at 10:30pm at night after last year’s Burning Man and helped tow it to his shop. I spent a few hours here and there talking to him since and am not only a convinced and satisfied customer, but a happy friend now too.
Trust no other mechanic in Reno!

A five star rating isn’t high enough for these guys! They are TOTALY AWSOME!!! I had previously taken my truck to another shop where apparently they ripped me off big time!
Like I said I took my truck to another shop (Alpha Tire and Total Car Care) for an oil change when they told me I had a coolant leak. They told me it would be $ 650 plus tax to repair. So at lunch I went and took out another title loan so I could get the repairs done. They took me to work. An when they picked me up they told me all about how bad my truck was. But the BIG thing was they told me I was going to need another $ 1800 in repairs because my head gasket was leaking. When I got in my truck the service engine light was on! I am beginning to think it was on so I would believe them. The next day I went to work and someone told me to take it to Auto Zone to see why my light was on. I did this and it came up a sensor. Auto Zone recommended Half Price Auto. I stopped by there and he looked under my hood and noticed the sensor was simply left unplugged. But he did notice I had a leak. He looked around a bit more and saw that it was my intake valve gasket… This was the same thing the other guys were suppose to have fixed !!
It started leaking worse so I took it in… He was too busy to get to it that day BUT asked if I could bring it by on Sunday. (this was his day off!!!) When we got there Ralph asked my son and I if he could take us anywhere as it would be a long while. My son said he would like to watch as he wants to be a mechanic also. Robert soon came and the three of them were under the hood most of the day together. Robert and Ralph taught my son a lot that day. Which he will be forever grateful for! Robert even took my son and went and got us all lunch. The repair was made… DONE RIGHT and it only cost me a little less than half of what I was originally charged !!!
Definitely recommend these guys!!!

Owner Robert Haney is a lifesaver. He is a family man and is a generous public servant. I made a day trip from Sac. Ca. on a Saturday. I ran around Reno and was about to head 4 hours to the Bay Area, but my power steering pulley broke and my vehicle was undrivable. I was in a bind. Mechanic shops would soon close within 3 – 4 hours and everybody knows that they are swamped on the weekends. Autozone referred me to Robert at Half/​Price Auto and guaranteed that the fellas at Half/​Price do great work. I gave Robert a call explained my predicament and he informed me that he would not only take care of me, but that he would stay past midnight if necessary to get me back on the road. Half/​Price Auto is located on a shared driveway with several other warehouse businesses. It is a family owned business. When I arrived I was welcomed by Owner Robert Haney, his wife, daughter, her little dog, and mechanic staff. Robert stopped work on several other vehicles to expedite my repairs. I was quoted a fee of $ 45-​$ 50 per hour for labor. Other mechanics in the area that I called quoted me labor fees from $ 80-​$ 95. Robert offered to personally drop me and the misses off to the Peppermill Casino which is very near to the shop. After a couple hours we returned. I was informed that there were several other issues with my vehicle. It took maybe two additional hours to repair, but Robert only charged me what was originally quoted. I hopped in the car and continued our weekend excursion. I was very pleased with my experience at Half/​Price Auto Repair. Thanks guys!
P. S. Robert informed me that his shop is open 7 days a week!
