Preferred Auto Care

Tom is the man he took care of my vehicle quickly but with all the care in the world.

Best Mechanic in Northern Nevada. Tom works exclusively on Hondas, Lexus, Toyotas, and I believe Nissans. When he has to resource work he doesn’t do himself, i.e., alignments, his network is an alliance of first rate shops that won’t disappoint you. I have used preferred auto for over 10 years and have previously owned a Nissan, various Hondas, 4 Toyotas and a Lexus. Preferred auto will cost you less than taking it to the car dealership for maintenance and Tom will do what has to be done and not do unnecessary work or exchange parts when not necessary.

I have been taking my Honda’s to this place for many years now. I started with my first Honda back in the early 2000’s and continued with three Honda’s after that. You can not find a better more trustworthy place than here. The Honda dealership quoted me almost $ 800 for a 60,000 mile service on a 2010 CRV and Preferred only charged me around $ 350. That is HUGE for a single mom like me who watches every dollar. Plus they were great about getting me in quickly and were finished within a few hours. I highly recommend their place if you have a Honda or a Toyota. I am not sure if they service American made cars.

This is a great place to have your vehicle serviced. Tom, the owner is great. Very honest, quality maintenance every time. I definitely recommend this shop for all service work– top notch.

Tom and his crew are something hard to find when you’re looking for someone to work on your car. Honest, reliable, and trustworthy. We’ve known Tom for years, since we bought our Honda in 1991, and we’ve been going to him ever since.
He has always taken fabulous care of our cars; he never overcharges, and he always gives us the best price possible. We know that he will do the best work possible, and we know our car is in good hands. He goes above and beyond, and has even given us a loner when we’ve had emergency situations.
They specialize in Honda’s, Toyota’s, and Subaru’s, and they know them backwards and forwards. We totally trust Tom and his staff, and we know that the work will be done right when we take our car to Preferred. We would recommend them to anyone without any worry, and wouldn’t hesitate one minute. If you try Tom, you won’t be disappointed!

I have a ’98 Acura that I bought new in August of ’98. I’ve been relying on Tom from the beginning for all maintenance and oil changes, putting on new tires, etc. Tom specializes in Acura, which is how I found him. What keeps me coming back is his integrity. He makes all customer calls himself and prides his business on doing right by the customer. My car is done the same day I bring it in and I have never had to worry about taking it back in because something wasn’t right mechanically. When it’s time to get a new car, it’ll be another Acura so I can bring it to Tom.

I have been a customer at Preferred Auto Care for almost 13 years and I can tell you that you will not find any more ethical and excellent mechanics in your life. They treat your car as gently and they try to treat your wallet. In fact I think they go out of their way to ensure that both your wallet and your car comes first with them. The shop is spotless and even when I have come in for a last minute problem they have squeezed me in, it doesn’t get better than these guys in the land of car care.
Thank you!

My folks have been taking their Hondas and Toyotas to Tom for years.
I recently took my Honda Accord up to him (from the Bay Area) to get the transmission replaced because it was significantly less expensive and because he has always done a great job on my folk’s car.
Tom does a great job at a really fair price. Wish he wasn’t so far away, or I would take my car to him for even the more routine services.

We have been taking our Honda’s and Toyota’s here for 20 years. Never had any problems in that time. They fix the car, do it right the first time and never try to upsell worthless products. One minor quibble, they do close kind of early, so you have to hustle to get there in time. The Honda and Toyota experts in town.

I TOTALLY agree with Dennis M. This is the best place in Nevada !! … courteous, professional and very prompt … I have gone to them for 16 years now. and have never been disappointed … Because of them. I will buy only Toyota, Honda or Suburu’s. wouldn’t trust anyone else in town !!!

They always do a great job getting in our vehicles and fixing the problem for a reasonable price!

They lost my business before even getting it… because the man that answered the phone when I asked for a quote wasn’t very nice… too bad for them.
