    So called rusty bolt...

    My father brought his BMW into Jim's to get an alignment done. This should be simple enough, or one would think. The tech working on the car ended up breaking an eccentric bolt in the rear end during the job. Things happen, I get it... but that is not where the train went off the rails. The service adviser, Charlie, explained that the bolt/car was very rusty, and this is why it broke. The car is originally from the Pacific NW where we do not salt the roads in the winter. There is ZERO rust on this car. Charlie now wanted to charge my father $100 in labor to replace the bolt and another $40 for the bolt itself. BMW of North Scottsdale sells this bolt for $16.87. Needless to say I stepped in, called the shop and told them I would be back to pick the car up with my trailer. At this point I will go purchase the correct parts and fix the car myself as $140 is unacceptable for a mistake that they made. Fast-forward the story, when I got the car home, there was ZERO rust on the bolt and it was twisted to the right which indicates it was over-torqued when he tightened the bolt and that is why it snapped. When we were still at the shop picking the car up, Charlie was still very insistent that the car was rusty to the point that he even leaned over his desk to get in my father's face. I was outside strapping the car down to the trailer while this took place. This type of aggression and intimidation is unacceptable and honestly I wish I had been in the room to see this. Only a bully uses tactics like this. Had I been in the room, I guarantee his big brass ones wouldn't have been that big.... To end the story, in order to pick up the car, my father had to pay for a $50 inspection... Really? $50 for you to break it, me to fix it and send the car to another shop to align it properly. Wow!!! This could have been easily fixed by taking ownership of a simple mistake, instead of gas-lighting their customer.

    Had an alignment done by Wes on my 911 s Perfect Job . Car drives straight as an arrow at 147 MPH near skull valley !

    This was initially a Google Review . Action Auto Responded and this is my reply to their response…read more I can't do a review if i don't rate you at least one star! 0 would have been my actually rating! This might have been what you were you referring to in regards to your normal two step process that eventually became, the master mechanic was looking at the process the entire time. Normally, The two step process is as follows: Hand tightened lug nuts in a crisscross start shaped pattern. That seats the wheel evenly! that never happened. Then the torque at specs. You know as well as I do the mechanic never set the wheel properly. This idea of the experience mechanic watching does not make any sense. If he was watching, and he was not, that has no impact of physically putting the wheel back on! You write well an must have been a very good story teller in school. I give you an A for that story! You know as well as I do, that I did not travel over 5 thousand miles in one month. That would have been one long trip. So whoever logged those miles might be the same person who set the pressure on the torque! Not so good with math!!! Sir, I don't appreciate being called a liar!! The tow truck driver, who was supposed to tow the vehicle never did. I told you that was were the vehicle was going not was there. Where you made up me telling you was locked in a yard-- not!! The tow truck driver never showed up because he claims the truck he sent had to flat tires in the back. Action Auto was the main place I took my truck in 7 years, and you never told me to change the old bolts, so if you had a concern you should have told me. Specifically during the last time you did the job on my tire in May 2026. You make absolutely no sense! Additionally, you told me anytime you change or replace wheels it is a two step process. You told me you torque and then wrench it. Then you told me after I question the process on the video that the 2nd step was the Eric was standing right there the entire time. He did even look the direction of the mechanic the entire time. I don't want to go back and forth with you, but I will say your really lacked professionalism. If I was an owner of a shop and there was any possibility that my shop was the last shop to remove an replace a tire, and that wheel came off. I would have offered more than warrantied parts. However, you don't need to worry about me i am out- I really don't think you cared at all about me! The manner in which the vehicle wheel was put back on is in question! Plus your two step process you claimed was not done. Unless the Veteran mechanic looking away from the work an' a virtually set the wheel. He's good and I like him but he is not that good.

    Just moved to the area and the car started leaking fluid searched the reviews and this place had…read moregood reviews. So we choose action automotive, SO GLAD WE DID, they are awesome, very quick to find the problem and fix it. Great price and didn't try to do unnecessary work. VERY professional and friendly place to do business with. I highly recommend them.
