Three years is not long enough for the twenty-year loyalty stories that fill the Reno reviews, so the Gardnerville ones say something different: relief at not having to drive to Carson City, trucks and fleet vehicles from the Ranchos and Minden, and a crew that explains what it is doing. We pulled 29 written four- and five-star reviews from the listing; two are quoted below as the reviewers wrote them.
What reviewers say about the 395 service center
Knowledge is the word that stands out. About a third of the written reviews describe the technicians as knowledgeable or as people who know their stuff, a higher share than at any of the other service centers, and it is usually paired with care: reviewers say the crew cares about their work and about the vehicle. Speed is there too, prompt and efficient rather than the in-and-out phrasing used in Reno. Filters come up often, air filters changed and fluids topped off in the same visit, and pickup owners say they will not take their truck anywhere else. Several reviews mention local businesses and work vehicles, which fits a valley where Douglas County households keep about 2.25 vehicles each (Census ACS 2020-2024).
Kevin S., September 2026: "Friendly professional assistance with the knowledge and expertise I depend on." Victoria W., February 2026: "The guy's are always friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn't take my truck anywhere else for my oil changes." Both are Google reviews, quoted as published.
A vehicle registered in Douglas County does not need a Nevada smog check, so the Gardnerville reviews are about oil, filters and fluids. The service center opens an hour later than the Reno service centers: Monday through Friday 9 to 5, Saturday 9 to 3, closed Sunday. It is right on the highway between Minden and the Ranchos; pull in on the way through.
Great guys that work there. Care about their work and customers satisfaction
Friendly professional assistance with the knowledge and expertise I depend on.
Crew was great as always. A lube, oil, and filters. Next month trans & transaxcle. Pil change & lube.0
They completed the oil change in a very prompt and efficient time frame. The staff was courteous and friendly.
The guy's are always friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn't take my truck anywhere else for my oil changes.
Love this place there efficient and polite, I was only there maybe 20 minutes and they refilled my fluids and changed my air filters. I only go here for my oil changes
Great people tha actually care about their customers and vehicles that they service. I would highly recommend local businesse here in Gardnerville.
Honest technician. Poor guy was working by himself and held it all together.
Jarvis is awesome. Experience as an auto technician/mechanic shows through….very thorough, thoughtful and communicates very well with customers. Steve was just as professional, couldn’t ask for a better pair of guys to service your vehicle. The key giveaway was how their tools were taken care of and their work area clean and well organized. I’d score the service at this business in Minden, Nevada, a10.Thanks Guys!
I take my truck here all the time. For the past year I drive a lot far for work and Lasvegas mesquite in Utah to go see my dad’s grave.and my granddaughter family ,I get oil changes every 2 to 3 months and these people have been awesome. I would recommend them to anybody. They do a great job and they have you in there and out soon They’re always honest and they never try to BS you !!!
There was only 1 guy working there. He took care of me right away and did an excellent job.
Staff did a top quality oil change and added necessary top off fluids to my gear boxes. Also changed my air filter. Staff covered all the bases as it pertains to the scope of their services.
Was done fast and good and a cool place to sit in and get out the heat while they work on my car
I have a 2018 Ford Raptor with a ADD off-road bumper. Unfortunately the bumper manufacturers didn’t design the bumper for it routine oil changes. So the shop I went to, went out of their way and figured out a way to do the oil change. Couldn’t be more happy with their dedication and service. They have my business for all my vehicles now.
Super happy with the service I felt very comfortable knowing that a pro was fixing my car
Quick and Efficient. Got an oil change on my lunch break and still had time to grab a bite.
It was quick & I needed an air filter. They showed me the filter & asked if I wanted to replace it. Very professional.
Jarvis was extremely helpful when assisting me with my truck. Highly recommended.
Excellent service friendly chill knowledgeable technician guy
Great service. Technician pointed out and illustrated things that have gone noticed by my regular dealership.
Fantastic, honest mechanic. Jarvis went above and beyond. Appreciate it
Had a great experience here. Jarvis was really helpful and took the time to explain the issue we had and went the extra mile on the service Thank you!
They are the best! Very efficient, friendly and fast. I’ll be getting my oil changed here from now on. Highly recommend. 👍👍👍👍
I was very impressed and will definitely be back for my next service. Quick service with integrity, eg they checked my airfilter before trying to sell me one upfront as a previous outfit tried. Jarvis was my technician and was very knowledgeable with great customer service skills. Highly recommend.
These guys are the best. Professional and knowledgeable. You will be in and out in 30 minutes or less.
Awesome service! I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes, so that was amazing! The waiting room was clean and calm, not that I had to be there very long, but I still appreciate the upkeep. Justin was very professional and friendly! Overall a really nice experience, I highly recommend them!
These guys are great! 30 minutes or less. The staff took really good care of me and my vehicle I’ll definitely be going back.
I got my oil change here a couple weeks ago. The employees here are very helpful and nice. They even checked my tires and advised me to get my tires rotated soon. Customer service is a 10/10 and I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for an oil change :)
