For Anthony Azzam, owner of Sport Haus Reno, the story of success doesn’t begin in a big city or with a lifelong dream to own a business. It begins right here in Reno, Nevada—where family values, hard work, and a deep respect for quality European engineering laid the foundation for a career that’s as local as it gets, and as refined as the vehicles he services.

 

 

Before taking over Sport Haus, Anthony’s journey in the automotive world took him through a variety of respected dealerships across northern Nevada. His early career includes time at Bill Pearce Honda, Scott Motors Land Rover, Cadillac, Bill Pearce BMW Mini, Mazda, Kia, Jaguar, and Land Rover. Each stop offered new skills, new challenges, and deeper insight into how service departments run. “I’ve worked in dealerships pretty much my whole career,” he explains. “Every role I’ve had taught me something new—whether it was managing people, solving complex technical issues, or understanding the level of care customers expect when they bring in high-end vehicles.” But everything changed in 2018 when Anthony crossed paths with John McClure, the original owner of Sport Haus.

 

 

Sport Haus Reno is not your average mechanic shop. And that’s exactly the point. “Our specialty is European vehicles,” Anthony explains. “Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Maserati, Ferrari including Sprinter vans and beyond. We know how to take care of these vehicles the way they were engineered to be maintained.”

But it’s not just the makes and models they service that sets them apart—it’s their approach. “We don’t cut corners. We use OEM parts, and premium oils such as Liqui Moly, and we have highly trained technicians who know these cars inside and out,” says Anthony, and the experience doesn’t stop with the cars. “We value relationships here. Whether you’re a new customer or have been coming here for 20 years, you’re going to get honest communication, clear estimates, and work you can trust.”

 

As someone who has spent decades in the automotive world—and all of it right here in Reno—Anthony has some advice for local drivers:

“Don’t wait until something breaks to take care of your car,” he says. “Regular maintenance is key. Especially with European cars, small issues can snowball into expensive repairs if ignored.” He also urges customers to choose their shop wisely. “Look for a team that communicates well, uses the right parts, and actually knows your make and model. Just because someone can work on your car doesn’t mean they should.” And most importantly, support local. When you work with local shops like Sport Haus, you’re supporting the people who live, work, and raise families in the same neighborhoods as you.”

 

While Sport Haus is clearly a business rooted in excellence, it’s also a reflection of Anthony’s personal journey. His story—one of hard work, mentorship, and rising through the ranks—shows that when opportunity meets preparation, great things can happen. As a business owner, Anthony sees his shop not just as a workplace, but as a platform—a way to create careers, serve customers with integrity, and represent the best of what Reno’s local businesses can be. “We’ve got a great team, and we’re continuing to grow,” he says. “I’m proud of what we’ve built here, and I’m excited about what’s next.”

 

Whether you’re driving a brand-new BMW, a vintage Porsche, or just looking for a trusted shop to care for your daily driver, Sport Haus Reno is a name that’s earned its reputation. With Anthony Azzam at the helm, the shop combines decades of expertise with a modern, customer-first approach that makes every visit personal. From major repairs, routine services such as oil changes, to brakes and alignments. Sport Haus continues to lead the way in European car care—and they’re doing it all right here, where Anthony’s story began. So, the next time you see a finely tuned Audi or a roaring Porsche glide down the streets of Reno, there’s a good chance it’s running like new—thanks to the team at Sport Haus.
