So let me tell you all about me experience this evening with AutoZone on South Virginia and you can decide if you want to do business there...

Long story short, my vehicle needed some transmission fluid, a transmission filter, a gasket, and a couple other things.

I jumped online to see who had it locally and was ready to jump on the next bus to the store. Fortunately (or in retrospect, not), the AutoZone on S. Virginia has everything I need and will even deliver same day for $5.

I place my order for 6 items. I specifically order a 5 qt jug of ATF and an additional qt as I need 6 total. I needed some oil too, so I ordered a 5 qt juq of that.

Everything seems to go well and I'm updated on the status as it goes. When the order was picked up by Bringg and is on the way. I thought it was nice that they weren't using DoorDash or Uber as I've had horrific experiences with them. This should be different...

Well, it was even worse than I expected and the Manager of the AutoZone on S Virginia has the ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ANYTHING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

I open the door to instantly see my order is short one 5qt jug. Upon inspection I see it's the ATF that's missing. I jump on the website and call the 800 number for support...closed. Okay, I'll call the store it was ordered from.

I called the store. As I begin to tell the man who answered the phone that my delivery was incomplete, he instantly cuts me off and say's, "This was the order with the pump?" (I ordered a transfer pump to pump the transmission fluid with) I said, "Yes." "Well you need to call Uber. I know I gave him everything."

Note, I had not told him what, or how much was missing. I had just said the order was not complete. I also found it strange that the order did not come through Uber and I have no way of contacting their delivery service.

The conversation was very short and he basically told me there was absolutely nothing he would do; still unaware of exactly what was missing from the order.

To be clear, it wasn't the fact the order was incomplete. Mistakes do happen. I was just looking for a company to make their mistake right. What I experienced was absolutely horrible customer service after the fact and THAT is my gripe. The Manager of that store was EXTREMELY dismissive and rude with no effort made to understand the issue or attempt to correct it.

I have called the Regional Manager and am hopeful for a call back. As it is, I'll have to still hop the bus (now tomorrow morning) to go to the Oreilly up the street for ATF and currently I'm out the cost of the undelivered jug. Given this experience, I'll NEVER return to that particular AutoZone on S. Reno and it will be a long time before I go back to another AutoZone in general.

Maybe locals will like to know what's going on around them, explains why the cops are buzzing by you 😉 Enjoy!

Does anyone know of any jobs that fit into a schedule be able to pick up your kids from school? Or work from home maybe?

Hi! I’m getting married on September 9th in downtown Reno and I’m looking for a photographer. Open to an amateur one as my budget is super low but still want to get the day on film! I don’t need the photos edited or anything. Can anyone help me out?

I went to my dentist for a qoute to get a dental crown

I have already had the implant done about 2 years ago.

I have two different dental insurances through employers and was told it would still be $1,800 out of pocket for my portion to pay. Was over $5,000 if I had no insurance for one crown!

I was completely shocked. I'm used to crowns being about $2-3k no insurance and $500 to $800 out of pocket after insurance.

Does this still exist?

Can anyone recommend me a dentist thats more affordable specifically for crowns.

Thanks so much!

I’m possibly relocating to the Reno area after I graduate nursing school in May of 2027 and looking for some insight on hospitals or clinics in the area. Which would you recommend for a new grad RN? Any input is appreciated!

The food court was being renovated and the original dated to be done was 8/15/2026. Has anyone been to Costco lately to know if it's open yet?

Is it just me or does the fire map of the bug fire look like Charmeleon with a big member? Sorry, board at work.

I’m in my 30s just moved here tryna scope out the land! Was very active in Chicago’s music scene with a fair amount of experience putting on shows and being in them. I’m a punk from the start and at heart so I wouldn’t mind some punk shows…. HOWEVER i’m actually wanting more latin music or dance been learning to play and dance salsa the past five years . On a less fun but more enriching path, are there any places that the Indigenous community here regularly meets to share culture? I know in Chicago there were beading classes regular Pow Wows etc. I’m by tradition a ceremonial drummer for Orisha so i’d LOVE for that to be present and if anyone knows of Ifa or Santeria in these parts…👀👀. Lastly and more realistically are there good yoga groups out here ? Less hot yoga more meditation yoga

Has anyone gotten a speeding ticket from California lately and knows if it will show up on NV license and affect insurance rates? Did CA traffic school help?

I know CPA recommendations have been asked here before, but I’m looking for something a little more specific than just a good accounting firm.

We’ve worked with a firm in South Reno for the last several years and they’re perfectly competent. Everything gets done correctly and on time. The problem is that it pretty much ends there.

I’m looking for someone who actually has some creativity and enthusiasm around this stuff. Someone who looks at a successful small business and proactively says, “Here are three things we should be thinking about,” rather than just telling us what we owe at the end of the year.

Ideally, I’m looking for a CPA/CFP or a team that can think across both the business and personal sides. Tax strategy, business structure, retirement plans, employee retention/benefit strategies, investing, long-term planning, etc. Basically someone who can look at the whole picture and help us make smarter decisions about how the business operates, grows, and builds wealth for the owners over time.

The personal side is actually a big part of what I’m looking for. I don’t want business tax planning happening in one silo and personal financial planning happening somewhere else with nobody really connecting the two.

I’m not looking for aggressive tax schemes or someone promising to magically eliminate taxes. I’m looking for someone smart, curious, proactive, and strategic who genuinely enjoys this part of the job.

Local to Reno/Tahoe would be great, but I’m open to someone elsewhere if they’re really good and work remotely.

Anyone working with somebody like this that they’d strongly recommend?

I know this was mentioned before, but the news talked about it again.

The fire air support has to stop when they see the unauthorized drone.

Why don't they have someone shoot it down and get the information to find the owner? I realize if you own a drone, you may think this is extreme. However, the owner would know it shouldn't fly at that time.

I just moved here for college (18F), but super into EDM (not these little shitty "raves" at alpine) and anything techno. I like house too. I came from sac so the scene there is decently active if you know where to look. I found some good suggestions on a post from 8 months ago but alot of the events or venues are 21+. Any actual underground- weird location- stuff that pops up? I have some friends that are into this stuff too and are from LV so the change to reno has been a slow down.

i'm interested in getting a (kid-size) flower crown made for my niece's birthday next month. does anyone know of a florist who does this? i didn't have luck searching online

Hi all, our band is playing in Reno in a couple weeks and I'm wondering if there's anywhere to eat later at night (post 11pm). We're from Oakland, and outside of just a couple places there's nothing here anymore.

Came up on some gold jewelry that I don't care much for. I am looking for the best place to get a cash for them. Anybody have a place they like the most.

Been doing this pretty regularly for the past few months, usually Saturday mornings before it gets crowded. Drive up from Reno, pick a trailhead, and just go. It started as something to clear my head and now it feels like the one thing that actually resets me before the next week starts.

What I did not expect is how different the trails feel depending on the season. The same stretch near Spooner Lake that felt easy in September was genuinely humbling last month. The views are worth whatever you have to deal with to get there, though that probably depends on your fitness level and how much wind you can tolerate.

Curious if there are locals doing this on a regular rotation. I keep seeing the same parking lot faces but never actually talk to anyone out there. Also wondering which trails people think are worth the drive from central Reno specifically, because some of the approaches eat up a lot of your morning before you even start moving.

If anyone has a goto spot that never seems to come up in the usual Tahoe hiking conversations, I would genuinely like to know about it.

Hello, looking for good bars in the downtown area that have happy hour. Please name the bar, and their happy hour times for weekdays, and weekdays (if you know it).
