U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates, read October 18, 2026.
Storey County is small, about 4,140 people (ACS 2024), and its households average 2.33 vehicles, the highest of the six counties in the service area. The Geiger Grade (SR 341) between Virginia City and Reno is a steep, winding climb that shows up transmission trouble quickly.
The grade matters
If the transmission slips, overheats or shifts late, take it easy on the Geiger Grade or call before you go. Lockwood drivers have a short, flat run on Interstate 80.
