I have a 2008 Dodge Ram and I recently had quite a bit of work done. The service manager was fantastic at explaining each of the repairs by giving great descriptions of what would be done and why it was needed along with the expected charges in writing. I had other auto places also give me pricing previously but I didn't understand enough to be confident in getting the work done. AAA gave me the information in a very clear way and it was a real pleasure working with them. I felt valued as a customer and felt I got good value for the work done. read more

Justin, Erik, Chris, and the entire team were absolutely amazing! I refuse to take my car anywhere else. They're trustworthy, honest, and genuinely friendly--everything you want in a mechanic. If you're looking for real, old-school American customer service done right, these are your guys! Highly recommend. read more

Recently had a repair done on my F-150. We had a tough time dealing with an extended car warranty, but the shop was extremely helpful with that stressful process. Go and ask for Justin. He is the man. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back. read more

Excellent Service. Very client friendly and high quality work! Good value for the money as well.!

Great mechanics. Very helpful. They worked with us on the many repairs we needed and they did a great job. Will definitely be back. Great staff read more

I have been coming to this location for decades. Justin and Erik took great care of me and went above and beyond with the window motor replacement. However, when performing the oil change and inspection, it seems my coolant was low. I did not know about this until I was long gone and eventually got my vehicle condition report. Had they mentioned it, I would have had them top it off right then and there. In the past, this is how this shop conducted business - they'd tell you what was in need of attention, giving you the option right then to fix anything. Now, I'm dealing with researching the type of coolant and taking care of it myself. This happened with tire pressure a few months ago too. That being said, I'm very happy with the window motor replacement. I have two other vehicles and will continue coming back. read more

wonderful staff. great price. timely service. accurate and knowledgeable. I won't go anywhere else.

A very big thank you AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center for repairing our family car and taking care of us "out-of-towners". Our family is from San Diego and on Friday August 23, 2024 we were traveling through Phoenix en route to Flagstaff to take a daughter to college. During our time in Phoenix, our minivan broke down (low battery indicator on instrument cluster). AAA road side assistance was helpful in identifying the alternator as the likely source of trouble as the battery appeared to be fine. AAA roadside service referred us to AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center, where I spoke with store manager Jose Benavides. Jose was great, he understood our frustration with a car issue away from home and assured us that while his shop was busy he certainly wouldn't turn us away. With some basic information about the car, over the phone Jose was able to work up a preliminary estimate that was fair, and by the time we had the car dropped off for service that day, Jose knew what parts would likely be needed and was confident the car would be ready the next day. We then continued to Flagstaff that same day, using other transportation. On Saturday I received a call that the car was ready. Jose stated that the technician confirmed it was the alternator that was failing and that the cost was under the initial estimate. I was able to pay over the phone for the repair and then made arrangements to pickup the car first thing on Monday morning since we were still in Flagstaff and the shop was closed on Sunday. Come Monday morning we arrived shortly after the shop opened and our car was there waiting us as promised. We are thankful for the quick repair of the car and were very happy that there were no further incidents with the car during our journey across the southern Arizona desert back to San Diego. I have been a AAA member for 33 years and was greatly pleased with the service from Jose and his team. Thank you! read more

Great experience. Very courteous and professional. Battery warranty work without a hassle! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back. read more

On Tuesday , I took my 2014 Hyuandi Sonata Hybrid in for a full check up. I waited initially at STARBUCKS AT 40th and Greenway. When I called to check on my vehicle they asked that I stop by I was told they would need to assess more about needed to be done! They provided me a Lyft ride back to my home and promised to call me when the car was in depth check-up was completed. Just after 1:30 I was called by my service Writer. A Lyft was called to bring me back to the Location. I was told my AC which had an issue was functioning normally. We set a work date of Thursday 09/16@ 7:00 am. I called on Wednesday to change the date to Friday at the same time. I dropped off my car at 7:15 am. They again sent me home via Lyft. St 3:30 Sandra My contact called me to say my car was done. Originally, I was told it would take until 5:30 pm. Was I delightfully pleased when I picked up my car. Awesomely Blessed!! The car now is in Top Shape and from the dealer's estimate of a week before; I saved a cool $575.00 ! This was an Amazing Experience. I would recommend Them to family and friends snd to my Yelp family. read more

On time , experienced and friendly service. Waiting room was clean with water and coffee.

Fast, accurate service without the lies and false add-ons. A true "old school" experience where you can trust Justin and his team to do you and your car right with an honest repair for a very fair rate. Highly recommend! read more

Extremely poor customer service. It you like good customer service AVOID AAA auto repair paradise valley. I was told I was lying, told they could not try to diagnose my car since I asked for an oil change. When they made a mistake they blamed me instead of apologizing. GIBSON DAOUD needs lessons on basic human decency and customer service. read more

Excellent customer service, great prices, great job on vehicle work, water and coffee in waiting area.

I have been taking my car to AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center for over a year now and I am very satisfied with their service. They are always friendly, honest and professional. They explain everything clearly and give me options to choose from. The manager, Gibson, is especially good at communicating the severity of the problem and the cost of the repair. He never tries to pressure me into anything and always respects my decision. I often ask many questions about the particular system being repaired. Gibson and the folks working up front are more than happy to break things down, Barney-style, if necessary, to make sure all my questions are answered.I appreciate the informal yet informational nature of the shop. They make me feel comfortable and confident that my car is in good hands. I highly recommend AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center to anyone who needs a reliable and trustworthy mechanic. read more

AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center - View facing north. - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This AAA facility provided me a honest and pleasant experience. I value their opinion and have endorsed them to my friends and family. Excellent customer service. They are happy to help. I went to one other facility that diagnosed my problem incorrectly. I decided to check out the Paradise Valley location for a second opinion. They diagnosed the problem correctly and had me up and running within 15 minutes and they didn't charge me anything because my battery was still under warranty. It's a A +++ facility in my book. read more

Professional service advisors and technicians that are a good dealer option as they have specialists for each make of vehicles.

After servicing my car at my dealership and being given a list of things that "absolutely" need attention, I decided to return to AAA (which I went to for years with a former car), and note that my car operated perfectly for the six month interim! AAA did my oil change and inspected my automobile, indicated NOTHING NEEDED TO BE DONE other than the oil change that they did within one hour. How's that for efficiency and honesty vs. Dealership information? read more

Moved to the area and needed an oil change. So happy that I tried AAA as they were fast, the process was super easy all made even better as I scored with Sandra who was super kind and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend this place! read more

This is part of AAA. The very same AAA that serves your roadside troubles, your insurance and your travel needs. We need an oil change and that exactly what they delivered. No other services were sold to us although there are few items to keep in mind for our next service!! They're definitely earning our business and we have several vehicles. read more

I used to take my car to AAA for oil changes and repairs. A few weeks ago, stopped by and told Gibson that my engine light was on. He said it would cost $164 for diagnostics. He couldn't even come out and take a look at it. I stopped at another car repair place, not AAA. They came out, looked at my car and told me I may need a new gas cap and that the engine light is now off. If it should come back on, bring it in and they would do some diagnostics. That was over 4 weeks ago and the light has not come back on. No more will I go to AAA repair, not as long as Gibson is working there. read more

Let me start off by stating that if you want a place that will rip you off on what you are actually getting go to this place. I asked for an oil change and for them to check my brakes. They said they have to charge $165 to diagnose the brakes as they can't just look the brakes and do a visual inspection they had to run a computer test and take it a part. Gibson Daoud from AAA Paradise Valley Auto said that they would have a diagnosis on the brakes by doing this test. I agreed to that based on what he said. Midway through the day he calls me and says that they need about 2-3 hours more because he's not sure of the problem as the time allotted for the test wasn't enough time. He said it would be $165 an hour for about 2-3 more hours. Why would I pay for more time when he said when I dropped off the vehicle that he would have a diagnosis and that why he was charging the $165. Now he wants me to pay more after they have it all taken apart. This is called bait and switch tactic. I told him I would pay for the oil change but not the diagnosis since he didn't have a diagnosis even though he said that's why they charge the $165. Never did he tell me that if he didn't have a diagnosis in the first hour that they needed to charge more. He said that I cannot pick up my car if I don't pay for both the diagnosis and the oil change. I know in the state of Arizona a mechanic can't hold a vehicle for non payment if a signed agreement hasn't been issued. Let me be clear there was nothing I signed. He was very hostile over the phone with me and even swore at me and hung up the phone on me. What a disappointment it was to use this company. I ended up having to pay for the diagnosis and oil change even though I wasn't given a diagnosis of the problem. Also, will be contacting AAA Corporate, BBB of Arizona and the Attorney General on Gibson's shady practices. Did I mention I have everything recorded.... read more

ZERO RATING - still not response from the person who reached out and asked me to email her so we could discuss. They just respond to make it look good then IGNORE YOU and never do anything else..... DO NOT GO TO AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center....EVER! read more

I was quoted $10,000 for a transmission and motor mounts for a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta with 167,000 miles on it. After speaking to several different German auto repair places I received quotes of $4000 for both items with labor. Do not go here. I paid $500 for the transmission service and had it towed back home to take to a place that does not scam people. Nice people work there. But trying to scam a women out of $10,000???? Better luck with someone else guys! read more

On short notice, Gibson got my car in and out the same day. I was concerned about trusting a place I had never been before and at first I was a bit skeptical but after talking with Gibson a bit more and getting a ride home from Taylor I was feeling my car was in good hands. Within a few hours, Gibson called and my car was ready and the issues I was worried about were completely resolved for even less than I initially expected. They offered to come pick me up too. I'm glad I gave them a chance as I ended up receiving honest and professional service and I do recommend them. read more

The auto service began at my appointment time. And, the work was completed well before my expected checkout time. Gibson Daoud did an excellent job of explaining the work that was done and what needed to be scheduled for subsequent visits. The technician took pictures as visual evidence of parts that need to be replaced or repaired. I will make an appointment to return to this service center for additional work on my car. read more

I go here for all of my vehicle needs, Sandra and her crew are the best. Reliable repairs, will transport you to/from your home while they work on it, and Sandra even handled my extended warranty like a pro. I highly recommend them. read more

Excellent service. Treated fairly & done right the first time.

I brought in a van that I was considering buying, just to have it checked out. Holy shit!! Talk about a through job! All printed out with accompanying photos!!! $70! Absolutely incredible!!! read more

We have visited this place a few times and we have consistently had a good experience. You get free inspection (any time, no need to have any service done) for being a AAA member, and I think you also get 10% off on labor. If you do not want to wait they can have someone drive you home if you make arrangements and live nearby. Mike and Ignacio have helped us in the past and they both have been very friendly and professional, and have patiently answered all our questions. Overall a good experience. read more

Took my van in for a cooling fan. Waited 4 days for the part, tech said because of the age (1995) could NOT find a fan for the vehicle. Went to www.RockAuto.com and found 7 of them in 2 minutes. Asked tech why he did not check Rock Auto, and he said, because they did not have an account there??? You don't need an account, only a credit card. That's like saying I can't buy anything on Amazon because I don't have an account there. read more

My car wouldn't start when I was trying to leave from a friend's house and I called AAA who send a tow truck taking it to the AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center. I also told them about the problem with the coolant level light turning red intermittently, although the fluid in my radiator seemed alright and the engine temperature did not reach alarming levels. I was told that it was probably a sensor problem. Because I was scheduled to return to my summer residence I picked up my car to park it in my garage to address the red light issue upon my return to Phoenix. Numerous other issues were addressed and I received a bill for $1,609.36. A week before my return to Phoenix I contacted the AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center to schedule a follow-up visit to fix the light indicator for a low coolant level. After delivering the vehicle I was called and told that a whole host of additional issues needed to be addressed. After these services were performed for $2,225.95, although the reason for the red light was not resolved. Later, I received a call that my head gasket was blown. In support of the diagnosis I was shown a photograph taken by a mechanic's cell phone. I told AAA not to fix the head gasket as I intended to drive across the street to Blackwell Automotive where a new refurbished engine from Jasper had been installed on 11/26/2018 at 71,167 miles giving me a warranty of 3 years or 100,000 miles. Since that time several other services had been performed (see Camaro 1997 Service Records at the end). Also note that the car was driven a mere 2,200 miles since replacement of the engine and other vehicle services. Blackwell performed two different block tests which showed no issue. Having been given two contradictory test results, I purchased my own testing kit from BlockTester, which showed no evidence of exhaust in the radiator system (see pictures 1 and 2). Blackwell also replaced the thermostat, because - in disbelief - they had found a disabled one in its place from which all functional parts had been cut out (picture 3). A normal thermostat from Autozone is shown in picture 4. MY CONCLUSION about the AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center: A service pattern emerges which does not address the issue for which you bring your car in. Instead a lot of costly services are recommended to you. Don't do them but have them verified by another garage. It seems to have become industry standard to add unnecessary services like oil change, air filter and chassis lubes which could not have been possibly justified given the few miles since the last service of these items. Bogus issues are reported which an unwary customer would want immediately fixed like a blown head gasket. Again have it confirmed by another facility. But most concerning is the tampering with the thermostat by an ignoramus (see pictures 3 and 4). While I am not able to point out the exact time when this occurred, I can unequivocally claim that it happened either during my first or second back-to-back encounter with the AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center in April or November 2021. read more

AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center - Picture 1 - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Gibson Daoud , Service Advisor, does not back up their work. Went in because AC was blowing warm. Left with Valve lifter adjustment, brake fluid, transmission fluid service and brake fluid exchange. Car now vibrates and lags when changing speed. Made appointment to fix and when checking in , Gibson told me it would have to stay over night and blamed the female parts driver that made my appointment for not telling me during the appointment. I made another appointment through Gibson and when I arrived for the appointment, he said it would have to stay overnight. He said they were just busy and "even dealerships" keep the car overnight. I live 30 minutes away. Don't know if this poor service is due to the fact I am female or they don't like to check their work or maybe both. read more

I have been coming at this repair shop for oil changes for a good 5 years and being a AAA member I get good deals with repairs but more specifically oil changes. I do like how I can set up an appointment and guarantee they can get me in and out in under an hour! I also appreciate how I get random $20.00 oil change specials. Lastly they top off all fluids and diagnosing my vehicle. Until next time ! read more

AAA Paradise Valley Auto Repair Center - Front lobby while you wait! - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've come to this branch for just under 2 years. While the auto service has been phenomenal, todays conversations by staff in the lobby has changed my perspective overall on this AAA branch. I waited in the lobby for about 30 minutes for my oil change, and during this time employees cracked Arab jokes without any care that there was a customer in the lobby. Although I'm Caucasian, it's wild that that type of behavior is tolerated and promoted with laughter in response. Additionally, while they were on the phone with a part provider, they put the person on hold and stated that "she could get it", are you kidding me? I'm not sure if these were bad jokes or legitimate opinions of employees who didn't care that there was a customer in the same room just feet away. They have lost my business indefinitely and I don't plan on referring anyone to a mechanic that mocks groups of people/languages and is misogynistic towards women they do business with. read more

The transmission in my old car had died out on me unexpectedly. This AAA location was quick to tow me, give me a reasonable quote to fix, and was extremely flexible in holding my car for awhile while I came to a decision on how to move forward. Gibson was absolutely amazing, responsive, and helpful in giving me his honest opinion. 10/10 recommend! read more

Worst experience ever. Liars. I told them over the phone exactly what I needed and what had happened. Then I get some bs AFTER I had been towed there and the tow truck left I get told that they couldn't perform the requested service and we got into a heated debate and I said this is why you guys get a bad rap I the auto industry and look like shit to the world" I was told leave and we aren't working on your car. I treated badly, I was lied to and they immediately went cutthroat to get a far more expensive work repair done. Without ever even LOOKING at my vehicle. This place sucks, con artists and liars. Don't make a mistake of going here. There are FAR better shops than these idiots. I want a -5 star rating These guys suck! read more

Mike, the service writer, was very helpful in helping us get our electrical issue fixed on our 2015 jeep wrangler. We had dead batteries and learned that something was draining the battery. They, AAA, dug through all of the wiring system and corrected the issue. read more

My wife took her P.T. Cruiser in to have her brakes checked as they started making a noise. They called and told us it would be $960.00 to put new brakes on. Well we can not afford to pay that much, so I started going over the estimate with them...outrageous...they had parts listed that we did NOT NEED...had them marked up DOUBLE their cost and just out and out lying about what we needed to fix the car. We had a good friend do the job and he bought the required parts needed for $92.00 and we paid him a couple hundred bucks for 4 hours work. RIPP - OFFF !!! AT AAA SERVICE !! read more

I want to give a big shout out to this place. I've been going here for about four years. Mike has bent over backwards to help me with my poor 1991 Honda. I drove it for twenty five years and he literally kept it running for me. Finally in October, I was able to get a new Honda Accord. I wasn't used to such a long front end and I tapped it on the pole next to my parking space. I absolutely freaked out. There was a dent and some plastic hanging out on the wheel well. I called Mike on a Monday morning and asked if someone could look at it. Now, mind you, they are not a body shop. Mike told me to come on in anyway just to see it and possibly refer me to a body shop that could help me. Jordan went out to the front of my car, looked at it, popped the dent out and was able to cut away the plastic that was hanging down. All at no charge. Mike and Jordan, you don't know how much that meant to me. I'm an elementary school teacher and don't exactly have the best salary. Thank you for helping me out. Seriously, these guys are legit. I hope you can visit them to see for yourselves. If I could give ten stars I would. Thank you Mike and Jordan. I hope you'll be able to see this review. read more
