A Reputation 40+ Years in the Making

The Auto Clinic & Mill St. Tire is a family owned and operated auto repair service and tire shop in Reno Nevada. Both The Auto Clinic and Mill St. Tire have been serving our local community and surrounding areas for since the late 1970’s. 

After working there for over 20 years Mark purchased the The Auto Clinic (originally named “The Toy Auto Clinic”) in 2001 and Mill St. Tire in 2017. Originally each it’s own business, Mill St. Tire was  merged with The Auto Clinic to bring our customers a more complete offering for their automotive needs.

The Auto Clinic over the years has been a premier independent specialist of Asian import auto repair and service including Toyota, Honda, Subaru and Lexus. Today we now also repair both domestic as well as imports and are your best choice for scheduled maintenance of your car, SUV, truck and fleet vehicles.

Now with addition of Mill St. Tire we can also offer complete tire and wheel services all in one place.

Our ASE certified technicians are ready to deal with any car repair needed or vehicle issues you may be experiencing.

We look forward to providing you with the highest of quality customer service, automotive repair and tire service available.

I just recently had work done here.Lisa and Sergio were very communicative during the process and the price was fair. No one really likes when they don't have their car, so having friendly, timely and fair pricing I felt at ease. Definitely would recommend, great staff.

My friend told me it cost $25. to remove a tire from the rim and replace it with another you already own and balance it. I had them do all 4 (+my tires are over sized) and they did all the work of removing and returning the tires onto my truck. Only $170. Which I feel was totally fair.

Auto Clinic did an excellent job getting my tahoe running again and way faster than I was expecting! Additionally, they could've said anything was wrong but instead, they said it took under an hour to find a bad ground to chassis and my truck went from hopelessly dead to purring like a kitten!! You guys are my go to shop and I WILL be sending people your way. You guys rock!!!

Good people. They've kept my old, high mileage toyota truck running well for years and they are pretty straightforward about what repairs I can put off versus what is more pressing. I've compared their prices to other shops and they are competitive. They've driven me to work on a few occasions after dropping off my truck which is super nice.

This place is Reno’s best kept secret — seriously. I’ve been being taking my cars (Subarus + ‘93 Nissan pick up) here for 10+ years. The Owner, Sergio, Lisa and team are fantastic. They’re always honest, reliable and fair priced. Reminds me of your small town, knows what they’re actually doing, mechanics shop. Thank you Auto Clinic!!

Part of me hates to share this because I don’t want the whole world to know that this is hands down the best, honest shop I’ve ever been to…but I’m trying not be selfish.Seriously though…Sergio is the best. I trust anyone who tells me things like “you don’t need new brakes yet, come back in six months and I’ll check them then” or “I can rotate your tires and that way you only have to buy two right now instead of four.”

Sergio always takes care of us, and usually within the week. Sometimes his schedule changes, but we get that. I don’t feel talked down to or like they’re trying to rip me off. Definitely recommend!

The crew here are AWESOME. Needed to get a smog on my new diesel dually with over sized wheels. The shop doing the smog would not pull the pitter wheels off. Came here to the Auto Clinic & Mill St. Tire they knocked it out in minutes even though the tech was on lunch he took care of me right now. Please come give this awesome shop some business. We need more shop like this!!! Thank you

Visiting family for Christmas when the "GREAT winter storm Squall of 2021" hit!Check engine light came on, and my Subaru Outback was making an odd sound.Also, my tires are in decent shape for SF bay area, but I was super leery of getting over Donner Pass with them and the INSANE amount of that cold slippery stuff the locals call "Snow"... So I got tires.While there I had them fix my lighter outlets, so I would have some music when I would be driving 25mph all the way to Auburn!My car troubles could have really been a headache, but some family members recommend the auto clinic so highly, I felt comfortable relying on them. Sergio did NOT disappoint!They did it all in a day!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
