Roads and Junctions We Know Around Virginia Lake
The Virginia Lake neighborhood sits in the middle of Reno, south of Plumb Lane, with Lakeside Drive running along the lake, Moana Lane crossing to the south, and Plumas Street and Arlington Avenue carrying traffic north toward Midtown and Downtown.

Landmarks and Things to Do Around Virginia Lake
Virginia Lake Park is the center of the neighborhood, with a walking path around the water, ducks and geese, a dog park and shaded lawns where families picnic on summer weekends. The Peppermill Resort Spa Casino is the big landmark nearby, with its lights visible across the south side of the city, and the shopping center on Moana Lane at the south end of the lake has local restaurants and a bakery that people drive across town for.
Most homes here are midcentury houses with a driveway and a garage, so the mechanic usually works right outside. The shopping center and resort lots have plenty of room too. Tell us where the car is and whether it is in a garage.
Weather and Your Car Around Virginia Lake
Summers here are hot and dry, and cars parked in the open around the lake and in the shopping lots bake all afternoon, which wears out batteries and hardens rubber. Winter nights are cold, and frost and the odd snowfall cover cars parked outside, so a weak battery often gives out on the first cold morning of fall.
The big trees around the lake drop leaves and seeds into cowl drains every fall, and the geese and ducks leave their mark on cars parked close to the water. Wash it off soon, because it eats into paint in the strong sun. Check the wipers and tires before the first winter storm.

Virginia Lake Car Repair Questions
Can you work on my car in a resort parking garage?
Usually yes. Tell us the level and row and how much room there is beside the car, and the mechanic comes straight to it.
Do you work on older cars that are well kept?
Yes. Older cars get the same careful visit, and the mechanic explains what each one needs in plain words.
Can you check a used car before I buy it?
Yes. The mechanic checks the engine, brakes, tires, suspension and fluids, reads the computer and tells you what needs work.
My car will not start on the first cold morning. Is that normal?
It is common. Cold shows up a weak battery. The mechanic tests the battery and the charging system and replaces what has failed.
My A/C blows warm on a hot day. Can you fix it?
Yes. The mechanic checks the refrigerant charge, the compressor, the condenser and the fans, and fixes most faults where the car is parked.
