Brought my Toyota to Ayers for a 2nd opinion for some front end work quoted at nearly $2000 After 1/2 hour, the mechanic asked me to exam the vehicle with him. He informed me that there was very little wrong with front end . Nothing requiring immediate attention. Ayers is an honest, trustworthy shop. Highly recommend.

This is by far the most friendly and upfront mechanic shop I have experienced. They were very thorough in their inspection and gave clear reasons for any areas of concern while also showing me exactly what they were finding. I did not feel like they were trying to upsell me on anything. Really a good spot!

I have trust issues with shops, but I gave Ayres a try. They found a few problems before doing my alignment. They called me for authorization, I approved, and they had me fixed up at an affordable price. They have restored my faith in shops!

The most professional, experienced and no bull shop in Northern Nevada. They get it done and will advise you of possible other issues if needed. Experienced staff from the moment you speak to them to the time you pick up. Lots of classics and high performance owners take their vehicles in. We take all of ours.

We own a '92 Dodge diesel D250 pickup. The crossmember support somehow broke. After we had the crossmember fixed in WA State the truck shimmied over 50mph and when turning, the tires were actually rubbing on the stabilizer bar! We were told it needed alignment. While still in WA we took it to two alignment shops,…

Excellent alignment and tire shop, especially for modified/not-stock cars and trucks. They have a lot of experience with off-road/lifted trucks, as well as sports/track cars that need more than a factory standard alignment.
