Where the service center is

1293 US Hwy 395 N sits on the highway at the north end of Gardnerville, toward Minden. From Main Street, head north on US-395 and the service center is on the highway; from Centerville Lane or Waterloo Lane, come over to US-395 and turn north. Topaz Ranch Estates is about 29 minutes up US-395 by OSRM routing, and Fish Springs drivers come in by Johnson Lane or Pinenut Road.

A long commute for a small town

ZCTA 89410 has a median household income of $83,108 per the ACS 2020-2024 estimates. Households average 2.15 vehicles, and 66.8 percent own two or more. The mean commute is 29.1 minutes, with 76.8 percent driving alone, which reflects the drive to jobs in Carson City and beyond.

Daily miles on US-395 plus gravel roads at home make up the normal Gardnerville mix. The gravel is the part that matters for the engine air filter, and the highway miles are the part that bring the oil change around.

Nights below 20 F

The nearby Minden station averages about 75 nights a year at 20 F or colder and 188 at or below freezing (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Those are the mornings that find a tired battery. Every oil change at Gardnerville includes the multi-point check, and a battery check is worth asking for from November on.
