Seth quoted us one price we signed okay for , when we got back he had upped the price by $281.00 without letting us know. Don't like crooked people and companies , didn't pay the extra, they couldn't show the OLD PARTS they said took out so left with paying only the original price quoted! So long guys won't be back. read more

Good quality work, fair rates, and excellent service. The service team gives you updates as they go and meet the deadlines they set for their work. They give you recommendations on upcoming needed maintenance out of courtesy. Glad to have found them as our trusted mechanics. read more

I have been utilizing Monsoon motors for a couple of years for older vehicles. I am thoroughly satisfied with their professionalism, timeliness of repair, ethics, and customer care. I have had both my vehicles repaired at Monsoon close to 10 or 15 times of which I've never had a negative experience. Special shout out to Marcus and Cole!! Great communicators and always will spend as much time as necessary to explain all issues associated with the malfunction of the vehicle!!! Thank you Monsoon!!!! read more

So, first..I'm a female and these gentlemen are awesome! I'm always taken advantage of..they DO NOT! I feel comfortable and safe! Monsoon is the BEST place I've ever been. 2, if you don't need anything done..they'll tell you. 3. I'll say it again!! Best/honest place ever. Especially coming from someone who is always taken advantage of. Please, coming from a female...go to Monsoon!! read more

Good garage. Honest prices and they stand by their work; even when problematic and difficult. Will continue to use them read more

My family and I have been going to this shop for years, usually at the Tanque Verde location. This was my first time trying the Pantano location since they had an earlier opening, and I was really impressed. I was having some hiccups with my car, and there was a little miscommunication at first about the problem. However, we quickly sorted out what the issue really was, and the team went above and beyond. They had my car fixed in less than 24 hours and even chose not to charge me for the additional work. The gentleman at the front desk told me they appreciate our service, which really showed me how much they value their customers and the relationships they build. They were receptive to feedback, willing to work with me, and truly earned my trust. Experiences like this are why my family continues to rely on them...I'd definitely recommend both locations! read more

Brought my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid to diagnose a transmission slipping problem. They said it was low a quart and added it. They did not claim that was the fix. Never got an accurate diagnosis which isn't my complaint. I went to swap the transmission out. Before I started I checked the fluid level. It was overfilled by about a quart. While not the cause of my problems, I nonetheless paid for that extra quart and it can damage a transmission. They advertise expertise in transmissions but yet they made such a simple mistake. The should at least remove the claim about being transmissions. read more

Monsoon Automotive - Most of the overflow poured out onto my garage floor. - Auto Repair Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Sad I can't give zero stars. My husbands car was here for close to 21 days. If we wanted an update, we had to call them. If we say we needed the car back by a certain day? Too bad. This put us in such a bind logistically and was extremely frustrating. To make things worse, The original issue was so badly misdiagnosed that we ended up paying close to $3000 and the car is STILL having issues. We are obviously not going back to this shop and will advise everyone we know to steer clear. read more

I've been to both locations now with two different vehicles, and am a fan. Most interesting for me is that both the owner and one of the managers are Mercedes Benz master tech certified so I felt very confident my MB was in good hands. Also important to me are accurate appointment times, and they have been spot-on for both my appointment slots. Excellent communication, and solid repairs (from what I can tell so far!) round out the quality experience here. Good team, I suggest you try them out. read more

Without a doubt the best mechanic shop in Tucson. Every person is treated like a person. If there are multiple options for fixing your car they'll let you know. Very competitive pricing. I've yet to be shocked at the pricing. Honest crew. Great mechanics. Personalized service. Affordable work. read more

See all

Many years ago when I had less money I drove high mileage used cars. Every breakdown was a drag. Encounters with a service shops most often were not pleasant. Rarely was I treated fairly though there were rare exceptions. Eventually I became more successful and for the past 25 years I live by a specific rule regarding automobiles. I will not own any vehicle not under factory warranty. Not for one day. That means I own no cars past their factory warranty. So, no keeping cars past warranty and no cool vintage collectible cars. Life is too short to be hustled by a post warranty service center. Especially shops backed up with heavily used cars. I feel sorry for these struggling folks with broken cars as most shops pillage them. At least factory dealerships if you are off warranty have to follow some factory guidelines. But small shops pillage. Recently I needed to use an old Ford van for a film production. And so I wanted it to be reliable for the filming period. Unfortunately that meant bringing it to an automotive shop fixing older cars out of warranty. I wont go into specifics regarding my experience with Monsoon Automotive. I will simply say I do not recommend them and would not for any reason bring any vehicle to them again. read more

Have you ever sensed that something was wrong? Something deeply wrong but you just couldn't put your finger on it? Well welcome to my world for the last two years. For two years my check engine light has been on. For two years I've taken my sweet little Celica to many a mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem. Time after time I'd pay for a repair and told to drive it around and the light would eventually go off. And time after time I'd be disappointed when after a week the light would still be on. Guys and gals, that all changed a few days ago when I took my car to Monsoon. As soon as I walked in I felt confident that all my check engine woes were about to be in my rear view. Boy was I right! I left my car in their hands and within two hours got the call that I could pick up . If I could give more stars I would!! Fair price, quick service, and the manager (Seth) actually showed me what he did to the car and was super nice. Picture of my dash without the light included-so you can all share in my delight! read more

Monsoon Automotive - No engine light!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Best in town ! Super honest! Very reasonable prices! Highly recommend these guys. 2 shops so they can get you in fast ! read more

Monsoon is an excellent auto repair shop. They honor their appointments, repairs are timely and price is fair. I have an older car and Seth and his team have had to perform workarounds to fix my car since some parts are no longer available for my vehicle. Excellent service!! read more

I had a very good experience with Monsoon... reasonable price for my repair... fast service and providing Uber service is a nice plus. I recommend!! read more

Hey I've heard some mixed reviews here but I took my car in with a blinker and headlight issue they fix it in three hours for 100 bucks so if you can do better than that start your own business I think Seth is pretty clever there no nonsense not gotta cuddle you but good job read more

They are totally legit . They work with you and are reasonable and very friendly . Seth and his men found an electrical issue no one else could. read more

A very good experience of course a little more than I wanted to pay but that's probably because there was more wrong with my car than I thought there was but the guys explained everything and it seemed pretty fair and they did everything they said they would and it was done when they said they would so I would recommend people to come to this business read more

I chose not to go here as their LOF and road check is the highest in town coming in @ $79.99 plus tax. I went to another place instead but they were real friendly on the phone and responded quickly to my inquiry on yelp. read more

Super honest guy! My younger brother's truck went through emissions for the first time since moving from Texas. There was an electrical challenge with the computer port under the steering column. He and I checked the fuse box, found a mid sized fused but immediately blew the replacement of the correct amps. Monsoon could have charged us for hours and hours and hours of electrical diagnosis and while I would have been bummed I would have been none the wiser. They found the problem quickly (after market cig lighter), and pulled the lighter from the socket. They continued with some diagnostics through the hour we were already going to be billed for and got us back on the road. I am VERY happy with the honesty and integrity I saw from the team at Monsoon. read more

My vehicle's air conditioner was blowing warm air; it had been recharged a year ago at an A/C specialty shop-- they did not find a leak and it never really felt cold, and a couple months later was back to warm air. Took the truck to Monsoon today, and they got me right in after quoting a very fair price to check and re-charge the system. They also found a couple o-rings that were suspected to be leaking and replaced them at no charge. After just a short wait, I'm back to having wonderfully cold A/C for under $70! I will definitely be going back to Monsoon for any future repair needs. read more

Went in here based on the reviews and I was very pleasantly surprised to get honest service. He fixed my AC for a fraction of what others were quoting and it works better now than it did brand new. Thanks for the great service guys! read more

Anytime I have car problems, whether minor or major, I always go to Monsoon. They've never let me down, their prices are great, and they're honest. Couldn't ask for a better mechanic. read more

Yesterday, I unfortunately had a dead battery that wouldn't start even with a jump. I called Monsoon and they gave me the number to their preferred towing service. The tow truck was at my home within minutes and rushed to try and get me and my car delivered to Monsoon by 5:15pm. They actually close at 5pm but Seth at Monsoon was kind enough to offer to stay over to replace my dead battery. When I arrived, they did not have a battery in stock and Seth kindly called around to find one at a good price. The battery wasn't delivered to us until 6pm and as soon as it arrived, Seth installed the new battery and my car ran beautifully. I'm addition, they didn't even charge me for anything but the cost of the tow and the cost of the new battery! I can't thank Seth enough for taking such great care of me! I am so thankful to have this awesome automotive shop nearby. Cheers to you Seth! read more

Being new to the area, I was dubious about the possibility of finding a good mechanic who was competent and fair-priced. I read the reviews here and took a chance. I was met by Seth at the front counter. We was friendly and got me in and out the same day. I had a bad wheel bearing in a Lexus ES350. The charge was about 150.00 less than other garages and several hundred less than the dealer (no surprise there). My car is back to tip top. All around, it was a great experience. I'll be back if our cars need anything. read more

I can't find a way to edit my previous review, which was a two-star because they fixed something that was not broken ($700 worth of brakes that did not yet need replacing) and my problem remained. I figured out what was wrong, (the Hill Hold on a stick shift Subaru, not a common problem) and they were willing to disconnect it on my word. That solved the problem, and there was no charge. So even though they are still doubting that I was right, at least they were willing to do what I asked without the usual male posturing. read more

I can't recommend this shop enough! My dad is a car guy, I grew up watching my dad build countless cars and was his helper. However, now that I'm an adult and live in a different state, I don't trust myself to attempt the work alone. Every time I've ever gone to a mechanic and tell my dad what they said and what the price was, he tells me to never go back because he isn't impressed. That all changed with Monsoon - they are the first shop that my dad is impressed by. They are knowledgeable, honest, with great customer service. I'm a single mom and take good care of my car to ensure that it will run smoothly and safely for years to come - with Monsoon I know that I'm in good hands. read more

They are very nice and let me know what was absolutely needed for the time being, they hooked me up with a lyft ride both ways. Straight shooting laid back guys all the way around. If you're a single lady you can trust them. BIG UPS! Monsoon read more

Fantastic mechanics. They fixed a problem that two other mechanics in town didn't have a clue about how to deal with.

So my car for the last few months had issues with 2 of the windows not being able to close. I tried to call several places even the mainstream pep boys for a quote on what it would take to fix it. Turns out it was the "regulators" that were messed up which is why the windows could never go up. So I called one of the guys over here, I think his name was "Sean," he offered $600-ish to fix it while other places wanted between $800 - $1,200. Anyway, I dropped off my car I believe was on a Tuesday and at the end of my shift I picked it up and it was good as new. Less money way better quality and said guy didn't have a snotty attitude like those jerks at Pep Boys on Speedway. read more

Brought our car in on a Saturday and Seth took care of our need immediately, quality mechanic at quality prices.

Bought a used car and was doing all the service on it when it stopped shifting from park. Had it towed to Monsoon. Called the next morning and talked to SETH. Told him the issue and he said he would do what he could. Recommended dropping the Transmission Oil pan (even though I had done it twice the day before). Found an easy fix and gave me a really good price. Saved me a rebuild. read more

Dealing with an Automotive Repair Shop is a very "personal" event. Some "smooth talk" you or try to worry you into having any and all "marginal" services performed. Some openly make you feel that you are being taken advantage of. The Pantano unit of Monsoon Automotive was totally different. Seth made it clear the work would be done only when clearly indicated and asked for the opportunity to fully test the vehicle. I came away fully satisfied that this is an honest and principled operation that I can trust. Their prices are truly competitive. While one never looks forward to the prospect of needing more help, when it happens, this will be my "Go To" repair shop. Thank you Seth. read more

I went to their second location which is on Tanque Verde just NE of the Kolb/TV intersection. I have lived in Tucson 30+ years and this is literally the first time I have found a competent, honest, and reasonably priced mechanic. I had a few things wrong with my 2005 Forester and thought it was going to be big bucks to fix it. Turns out the heater wasn't working because "somehow" something mechanical had gotten disconnected under the dash; not broken but disconnected. I know where I took it last, know that they "fixed" something that did not need fixing, and.....etc. Monsoon fixed everything I asked for at very reasonable price and talked to me as if I had a working mind to boot. Bravo. If I could stand out in the street with a sign saying "THESE GUYS ARE HONEST" I would. read more

Honest & friendly service done right the first time. I have brought both my cars in for repairs and maintenance, and I have been given excellent service and advice. Once I was told it wasn't worth fixing, how's that for honest! They could have done the expensive repair, charged me, and I would have been back in soon for more repairs and more money for them; but instead I got an honest answer and I'm a customer for life! read more

Rick is a great guy. I drive for Uber and I've transported a lot of his customers home, and I've actually given him several rides in my little green Toyota Ubermobile. All of his customers rave about the quality of the shop's work. Thumbs Up! read more

Moved to Tucson two years ago from Los Angeles, CA..and I've been to several auto mechanic shops both here in Tucson and in LA...and I can honestly say, since meeting Seth, his staff, and the service I've received on my 2001 Ford F-150 truck, I've been beyond PLEASED and SATISFIED on all levels. My truck had been experiencing several problems in the course of my two years here, and after all the shops we've taken our truck to both in LA and in Tucson, only Monsoon Automotive has been able to diagnose and fix the ROOT problem for us. Seth took one look at it and knew exactly what the issue was. Our truck is feeling brand new again and we're happy driving it. We're thankful for Seth, his expertise, and the customer service we've experienced here. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Monsoon Automotive on Pantano for your automotive wants and needs! ASK FOR SETH, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!! read more

My wife and i are snowbirds from Seattle and have been bringing our cars here for 3 years now. Rick and Seth have always been courteous and professional and all the repairs to our vehicles have been done excellently and for reasonable prices. We have confidence in their work and appreciate their friendly manner.We have a Mustang GT and an old Volvo wagon and both cars have been worked on with no problems. I would certainly recommend them. Its nice to find an auto repair shop you can trust. read more

Had Monsoon Auto replace a rebuilt engine in my Jeep Wrangler. Not only was it a fair price, but these guys noticed a factory flaw and went to battle for me in getting another rebuilt motor. I can't imagine the potential headaches and cost they saved me from. Trust and honesty are huge words, especially in auto repair. read more

Last week I needed to get my Lexus checked out because of a strange noise I had been hearing for a couple of weeks. Based on Yelp reviews I took a chance and took it to Monsoon Automotive. Small place but very clean looking. Seth listend to the noise and thought it might be the water pump. Took it back the next day to have it checked out. I asked them to do an oil change while they had it. It turned out to be the water pump. Seth said I needed new brake pads which did not surprise me. They finished by the next morning. So far so good, the noise is gone and the car is very quiet. Seth seems to know his business. Would definitely go back in the future. read more
