I got a Groupon to change brake pads and went in today on time. Charlie in the front desk asked me to park the car in their parking lot for them to check later and I can come back later, I parked the car and said is it ok to leave the key there, he said he's sure they will find it later, didn't even ask where exactly I parked.....then I asked him how long it will take for the whole thing, he said it will be by 5pm(I went in at noon). So I asked why it will take so long, he started telling me because my car was European make(BMW) the brake pads will cost more than the Groupon I got (I got it for $120), also Groupon doesn't cover labor, so I will end up spending much more. This is just insane, without looking at my car he was already telling me I have to pay more. He didn't even mention it until I was about to leave and ask how long it will take. His attitude made me really uncomfortable and trying to charge more without even taking at a look at my car is just not professional. He didn't mention about charging me more at first and just asked me to park the car and he will call me back later. Anyways I told him I thought the Groupon should cover it I'll check with them and may come back later, he immediately got mad and raised his voice and said 'Ok mam YOU have a GREAT day!' Me and my husband got shocked how rude he got when he thought he lost the business, but telling me he's going to overcharging me on top of what I already paid in Groupon, without even looking at my car - not professional at all. Later I got another Groupon for less money and got the job done in a couple hours. read more

I was looking for a honest and well qualified place to fix few thing on my car. After few calls and research online I decided to try to Car Tech and it was my best experience ever! Nobody forced me to do any unnecessary repairs. Charlie (Owner) was great, I felt like he was actually trying to help me fix my car. They did everything what I asked first day and I requested to do a full car check, so I could see if I have any issues which I should look into a future. Charlie provided a full and very detailed explanation and what his mechanics found, when I should change/repair those items and pricing for them. He also provided his recommendations on what was a priority on those repairs so I could make sure I have no unexpected breakdowns. It helped me a lot to asses the situation and make sure that I can keep my car running in well maintain condition for many months. I make back the second day for the items I picked from the list which had the highest priorities. Last and most important price was great, I checked with few other places and Car Tech was cheapest! read more

This is the best shop in Arizona! The customer service is over the top. Everyone in the shop--Sonny, Rick, Milo, Kevin, Iram, and Luis--go above and beyond to make sure every customer feels welcome and taken care of. Whether you're coming in for a quick fix or a major repair, they treat you like family and make sure you leave with your car running better than ever. They're honest, professional, and really know what they're doing. You can tell they take pride in their work and actually care about their customers--not just their cars. I've seen them go the extra mile to explain things clearly, offer fair prices, and make sure people aren't stressed during the repair process. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and friendly auto shop, this is the place to go. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else! read more

Charlie the owner is a genuinely good guy, straight-forward, ethical and has a great sense of humor. My son's AC went out (of course) on a 113 degree day here in Scottsdale. This is a busy shop but he got us in the next day with no drama. His shop is also extremely clean. That is something I consider to be one of the best ways to measure a great (any kind of) business. Since first meeting Charlie, we've been in for 2 alignments, 3 oil changes, now an AC compressor replacement all work done on 3 different cars over just a couple weeks. No up sells. I couldn't recommend Charlie and Car Tech any higher. If you need work done on your car and hate dealing with dealerships (as I do knowing service is their highest margin business) consider taking it to Charlie. - Chris read more

Honesty and Integrity is not a missing ingredient here and certainly a rare combination in the world of mechanics. What a great service shop!!! Clean as a well maintained personal clean freak hobbyist garage and as personal and professional as any shop could possibly be. Charlie, is a straight forward and super likable guy that clearly lives and breaths integrity and honesty. He has worked on my BMW on a few different occasions and I cannot be more happy with his service and prices. I am a customer for life for sure! He is the only mechanic that I know I can proudly recommend to my family and friends anytime :o) You cannot go wrong unless you choose to go to any other shop but Car Tek! Thank you Charlie!!!! Sincerely, Rick S. read more

I originally came to Car Tech for the convenience of having someone else do a simple oil change. I talked to the owner and liked that he was willing to discuss with me issues that may come up or work that needs to be done. I got the sense that he has the background, knowledge, and tools to address new technology and maintenance items I might not have thought of on new cars, For sure it is better than me working in my driveway. I have gone back for oil changes and other maintenance issues on my two 2012 Toyotas and I have been pleased with the service and price. If I need repairs I will take it to them. It feels good to find Car Tech, an independent automotive maintenance and repair resource where you are treated fairly. read more

I travel with my job 48 weeks out of the year, so am not in one place long enough to establish a relationship with a mechanic. Having had so many opportunities for bad experiences, I have gotten very cynical about auto mechanics, but Charlie restored my faith. He and his shop lived up to (and exceeded) all the good reviews I'd read, and I'm just sorry I can't have him take care of my car on a regular basis. The shop was neat and clean, the work was done within the specified timeframe for a reasonable cost, and Charlie took the time to go over everything he had done--and why--in detail. It's nice to walk away from an auto shop feeling good about the experience! read more

Today was my first visit to this place, and I am very impressed. Charlie is highly professional, knowledgeable and personable. As soon as I entered, I noticed how clean and well organized everything is, and I am not talking just about the lobby but about the work area as well. My car needed an oil change and tire rotation. The job was done quickly, with no up-sell of any kind. While waiting for my car, I talked to one of the longtime customers of this shop. He could not say enough good words about Charlie. I am convinced that I finally found the place where I can expect the highest quality of work, as well as the honesty and integrity of the people there. read more

Just had my third visit with CarTech and Charlie, the owner... I am so impressed... Not only with the cleanliness and timely manner of my car repair, but the communication, and honesty to boot! Charlie explains everything in a manner I understand... And also forewarned me of other things that may be needing attention but not urgent...this way I can plan ahead on that expense... I see this shop as a go to shop from everything to oil changes to rebuilt transmissions....consider me an avid cheerleader....... I can recommend this establishment and the guys there wholeheartedly!

I have been a customer of Car Tech for a dew years now, I first met Charlie the owner through the Veterans organization I work at. He contacted us to ask if we could send him a veteran a month so he could service their car for free as a way to thank them for their service. What a generous offer I have sent a lot of vets to him. He services our company truck for us and he works on my car as well. Work is always completed quickly and the price is always what he quotes. I have found him to be a very honest person which is impossible to find in an auto repair shop. Highly recommend them! David Wimmer Veterans for Veterans read more

What a great place!! After having a bad experience with Midas, I happened on to this place in Groupon. Charlie is very nice and super honest. He has a heart as big as a house because he fixes a veteran's car per month for free. How many times do you run across an owner who does the right thing even if there's no gain in it for him. He got us in and out in about 20 minutes for a synthetic oil change and tire rotation. He also fixed a small window problem for us free of charge. Charlie gets my business from now on. read more

We stumbled upon this place last year when purchasing a Groupon for an oil change. We have been back a few times for our car needs and he has always greeted us with a smile and has been more than fair with his prices. He has had numerous opportunities to upcharge us but didn't. He feels like family to us and this is the only place we will go to for our mechanic services. Thank you, Charlie for your great service! -Lisa with the Acura :) read more

Hopefully, this review will make it to the yelp website as the last one didn't. Too important not to let people know about Car Tech and Charlie. Just a great place to get high-quality car care at very reasonable prices from a skilled, knowledgeable and very personable mechanic. With all the potentially stressful situations that present themselves, it is comforting to know that I no longer have to look for an auto mechanic. read more
