      Me & my VW Beetle.
      Guy F.

      My 2004 VW was overheating. It also had rear brakes grinding. I bought NAPA OEM quality parts for a Water Pump Kit and rear Brakes (pads & rotors). So, I signed a No Guarantee Waiver and paid only for labor. In addition, the 5 speed manual transmission clutch was slipping. OMG, what to do? I also needed an AZ emission test for registration. CJ, the shop manager diagnosed my car with the OBD scanner and advised repairs. Martins's technicians are ASE certified and were very professional and I sincerely appreciate their expert repairs.

      Car damage they are refusing to fix.

      This place was chosen because of the glowing reviews on Yelp. Unfortunately I have nothing but negative things to say. My niece was in a car accident and chose this shop to get her car repaired. When the repair was completed, she noticed her camera wasn't working properly. She took the car back, and they told her it would only take 30 minutes to fix the camera. It ended up taking 5 hours. When she picked it up, and she left she noticed the camera was still off, and there was a crack in her windshield. Once again, she went back to the shop and they said there's no way that happened at the shop. The manager was rude, and argued. Their camera supposedly didn't get a good angle of the car coming in, so they're refusing to fix damage that happened while in THEIR shop. That crack wasn't there when it came in, because it would have been recorded as part of the damage report from the accident. And it didn't happen in the few minutes she pulled out of the lot. Shady. It's unacceptable that this company isn't taking accountability over a repair they're responsible for, that wouldn't be a hard thing to fix.

Confident and relieved we'd found a "go to" mechanic in Phoenix, one month later the car began experiencing intermittent power steering outage issues. Our son (in college and alone far from home) immediately brought the car back in, but AMC essentially refused to pop the hood, or otherwise even look at the car "unless the driver could replicate the issue". Two weeks later power steering and AC completely failed on a busy highway (due to a leaking radiator hose that ultimately fried the alternator). Paid an additional $800.00 (plus towing) to a competitor to fix what AMC should've caught. Also, AMC hours are now M-Th and of course this emergency happened on a Friday. First time Yelp has led me astray. 9/9/2026 - Owner Gilberto immediately reached out on Yelp below apologizing and asking for submission of additional repairs documentation to handle the case "fairly". To be fair, I did not go into specifics of prior phone interactions with Gilberto - owner - after the car was first towed to AMC and the had to be retowed to another shop due to AMC's inability to handle after hours emergencies (eg., no closed parking, nor key drop or other available). While all calls with were professional and courteous, Gilberto was ultimately unhelpful and disappointing (leaving us with limited options). The fact that AMC refused to do anything after the car was brought in by our son (for scary warning signs similar to the original problems) just prior to a catastrophic (towable) failure on a busy roadway is what is unacceptable. Not saying AMC is a bad business, they just really blew it. For minor car maintenance (oil changes and tire repairs) AMC is probably great. For major car repairs go elsewhere in the valley, please.

      As a first-time customer, I was disappointed with my experience. I scheduled an inspection and was…read moretold it would take about "half an hour." I understand that automotive work can sometimes take longer than expected, but after an hour and a half I had to ask for an update because no one had communicated the delay. I noticed on the front desk computer that I was entered into the system as a drop-off, even though I was waiting for my vehicle. I always wait during appointments, and if that impacts how service is prioritized, it should have been confirmed when scheduling. I also noticed there appeared to be either a misunderstanding or scheduling issue with another customer who had an appointment after mine, which raised concerns about how appointments were being managed. When I asked for an update on the timing, the response I received felt dismissive. The employee responded that "nothing is ever a half an hour, not here, not any shop." I understand that estimates can change and that inspections may take longer than expected, but my concern was not that it took longer--it was that I was given an estimate, waited significantly beyond that timeframe, and had to ask for an update myself. The employee told me he would check on the timing and get back to me, but I did not receive an update afterward. Instead, he returned to the office and continued working with vehicles. Another employee also said he would check on the status and where the first employee was at, but I did not receive an update from him either. A simple update or revised timeframe would have gone a long way. The inspection, which was quoted at approximately 30 minutes over the phone, ultimately took about two hours and cost around $100. The findings included recommended back strut replacement, brake fluid service, and a battery replacement, with an estimated total of around $1,760. They also identified a bent rim, but I did not appear to receive a quote for that item despite requesting one. I have no doubt that their technicians have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and repair vehicles, and that expertise has value. However, expertise does not replace the need for clear communication and respect for a customer's time. I was hoping for a shop that values the customer's time as much as their own. Given this experience, along with pricing that appears to be higher than other shops I have compared in the area, I am uncertain whether I will return for future service. I hope the shop improves its scheduling process and communication with customers when delays occur. ******* Edit in response to their Google review commentary: It's worthwhile to note the company response below essentially argues pricing (which was never contested as explained in my above review). The pricing was provided for other individual's knowledge of business pricing and a stated reason for hesitation in repeated business. There was no argument to the state of the car either-- it's at a shop as it needs repair. I went to one other business, not multiple as was stated in person and over the phone-- indicating a lack of clarity again with notation on client accounts more publicly-- and and was quoted half an hour of my time with no updated timeline despite two requests to one staff member as well as the owner, Jesse, who just walked away. The Argumentative and dismissive responses on the stated concerns in the severe lack of timing and communication are what have just ensured I do not return to this establishment and suggest others take a closer look at what shop they choose for the work on their vehicles.

I had read reviews saying they try to upsell unnecessary services, so since I had just changed my air filter the week before, I was ready to push back if they tried to sell me a new one. To their credit, the tech checked it and told me it didn't need replacing, which was a nice surprise. The oil change itself was quick, hassle-free, and I only waited about 10 minutes before getting into the bay. The second visit also seemed fine at first. The oil change was fast, there was no major upsell pressure, and I left without any obvious issues. But about two days later, I noticed my heat shield was dragging on the ground while I was driving, which was not great. That stood out because I've never had a problem with the heat shield before. On my car, the heat shield has to be loosened or removed to access the oil drain area. I can't say for certain that Take 5 forgot to reinstall it or put it back incorrectly, because I can't prove that. But when a part that had never given me trouble suddenly comes loose right after an oil change where it had to be handled, that connection is pretty hard to ignore. You obviously can't have a dragging piece of metal potentially rip off while driving and damage another car or hurt someone, so I needed to have this fixed immediately. This was a pretty massive inconvenience, as I had to drop what I was doing (going to work) to swing by the dealership to have them fix the issue. Overall, I probably won't be back and will stick to going to the dealership for oil changes moving forward, strictly for peace of mind, knowing that the dealership exclusively handles my make. However, on a positive note, I will say that the convenience of not having to get out of your car and getting in and out with brand new oil in under an hour is hard to beat.
