Hy-Tech Auto and Smog, Inc.

I had my brakes and rotors replaced here, after less than a year I experienced violent shaking in my steering column. When I brought it back in they said it was normal and I «needed to deal with it» or pay them to replace. No warranty in their work. I have since brought my vehicle to a mechanic in Reno who noted the previous repair was shotty and it could have caused an accident. Never going here again. Truckee, you keep pushing us locals away. Thanks for endangering my safety.

Hy-​Tech Auto is a great place to get the smog check. I called Kevin and he gave the price for the check over the phone. He has a coupon for $ 10.00 when you visit his on line business. My son was impressed with the clean working area. No old parts or tires cluttering up the place. The test and paperwork for DMV was completed in less than 30 minutes. I will be a return customer even though we live in Incline Village. Integrity in business means a lot to me and earns my business every time.

I made an appointment with hy-​tech because another auto repair place told me my brake pads were near the end. After looking at them, Kevin and his team agreed I had 70% left. I also complained about a persistent metallic rattle. The mechanic fixed the rattle and re-​assembled the brakes. No charge. When I got home there was a message from Kevin checking to make sure that they fixed the rattle and it hadn’t re-​appeared. Old fashioned customer-​centered service!

Professional, Clean, Helpful — This is the best shop we have ever gone to for an emission test. We have an older Denali and called first to see if I needed an appointment. They said no and told me about a discount coupon they were offering on their web site.
We went the next day and they were able to get us right in, we waited in a spacious and clean waiting room and were finished in less than 30 minutes. They sent in our test results electronically immediately and told us we could get our stickers right away at the DMV or AAA if a member. This saved so much time being able to drive over and pick them up.
A great experience — Thanks!

Kevin and the staff at Hy Tech automotive were outstanding! We were on our way to Reno and our car broke down outside of Truckee. We arrived at the shop only an hour or so before they closed. Their team was able to get the car diagnosed that day and said they would try to get the work done that evening. Unfortunately it required a part that needed to be ordered but Kevin got online quick so it would arrive the next morning. At that point we were kind of stranded in Truckee with our hotel reservation in Reno. We were preparing to take a taxi ($ 100) to get to Reno. The owner went out of his way and gave us a ride there — free of charge! We couldn’t have been more grateful! The team at Hy Tech are knowledgable and courteous. The owner is a genuinely kind person. We recommend this business to everyone!
