Since the shop first opened in 1981, SAS Auto has been known for its commitment to top-tier European car repair, exceptional customer service, and unwavering integrity. When David and Patricia Holdiman took over SAS Auto in 2023, they knew they were joining a legacy of excellence established by the Cornelius family. Honoring this foundation, David and Patricia have worked to preserve SAS Auto’s high standards while also bringing a renewed appreciation for the skilled team that has made the shop Reno’s trusted destination for European vehicle care.
Under new ownership, SAS Auto proudly continues its commitment to honest car repair, transparent pricing, and skilled maintenance practices that keep your car running at its best and get you back on the road quickly.
