I recently had an excellent experience with Sun Devil Auto while passing through Mesa, Arizona, from South Carolina. My starter went out, and I was in a bit of a bind. I called Sun Auto, and they quickly provided me with a quote and even recommended a wrecker service. To my relief, the wrecker arrived within 30 minutes! By lunchtime on the same day, they had diagnosed the issue and informed me that my head gaskets needed replacing which is why my starter went out, since it was dripping oil on it. I was impressed with their pricing, which seemed very fair after I consulted my brother, who has experience in the automotive industry for the last 25 years. My representative, Samuel, was extremely nice and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I asked them to expedite the repairs, and although they initially estimated two days, they surprised me by completing the job by the afternoon of the second day. Their efficiency and customer service were top-notch. I highly recommend Sun Auto for their professionalism, affordability, and quick turnaround time. Thank you, Samuel, and the team for getting me back on the road! read more

Sun Devil Auto - Wrecker arriving within 30 minutes! - Auto Repair Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I took my truck to this shop because of a driveline vibration. I was told my entire driveshaft was bent and needed to be replaced at a cost of about $1,400. Wanting a second opinion, I took it to another mechanic who inspected the truck and found the driveshaft was not bent. The issue was simply that the driveshaft was out of phase/timing and only needed an adjustment, which cost me about $100. The adjustment completely fixed the vibration. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before authorizing expensive repairs here. I was nearly charged over $1,000 more than necessary for a problem that did not require driveshaft replacement. read more

Made an appointment on their website. Received a confirmation text of my appointment. Showed up about 30 minutes before the appointment I made on their website site. They said it's all AI and they can't see any appointments made on their own website. Nor do they honor those appointments. Come back another day. No thanks. That's a one and done. Never again. read more

When I first encountered this location - I thought they were great. I getting ready to leave discount tire when I recognized a noise when I pushed the button to start my vehicle- I knew it was just a matter of time when my battery would stop working. Sun Devil auto was just next door. They fixed me right up. Customer service was amazing as well as the speed of service. I have used them a couple more times since then and utter disgust for the manager and the service advisors on how I have been treated. I lodged a formal complaint and requested the regional director be looped in and outreach to me for additional details. Today's experience just tipped the scales enough for me to lodge a formal complaint. I will not be returning! read more

First visit the DEF pump was causing the service light to turn on. My husband cleaned out the DEF sensor pump before bringing it in and after the mechanic reviewed the truck, they said nothing needed to be done and did not charge us anything. We were impressed with their honesty and didn't charge us anything. A few days later, my husband accidentally put regular gas in the diesel truck and caught it immediately, but we had to tow it here. They had to drop the gas tank and flush it out. No hesitation to bring it back to Sun Devil Auto. Grateful for the veteran discount too. We plan to come back for our next oil change. read more

Great place! Very trustworthy!!! Quality work no problems. Highly recommend This establishment, not a Franchise. Staff is amazing.

I made a Saturday appointment for an oil change on their online scheduling system and they do not take appointments. They are walk ins and first come first serve only on Saturdays. That really made a mess of things and I don't recommend trying their scheduling online service. read more

I had a full synthetic oil change done at Sun Devil Oil change for $49.99 using their online coupon. That is a great price and about $35.00 cheaper than most places. Weekend appointments are on a first come first serve basis so they don't take appointments on Saturdays. The staff is very friendly and they are not pushy to make expensive repairs. They do make a full inspection and provide a report and photos of issues that should be repaired in the future. read more

Nightmare business, especially if you're female. Over the last 15 years I've done business there have not been happy a lot of the time but my experience around Christmas time was the worst ever do not take your vehicle here! I came in the store asked to have my air filter changed because it had been two years and I paid for a tire rotation with my oil change. I was shown on the screen pictures of a "not too bad" air filter by the scheduler. And given my tech report, paid and sent on my way. I get home and find there's no tire pressures listed on my tires. Why wouldn't you check that if you're rotating tires. I called the scheduler said "oh I forgot to put it in the computer. The tech report says normal at 35 psi for four tires and 60 psi for the spare". They're also was no charge for the air filter and the tech report said it needed to be changed. I asked scheduler about that and he said "oh sorry bring it in and we'll change it." And because it's been a year since the last time my tire pressure was checked during cold weather. I immediately drove to the discount tire next to Sun Devil auto. I knew 35 was wrong and the tech at discount tire verified. all four tires were at 31 psi and my spare is not a doughnut. It's a regular radial so at 60 would've been a nightmare and in fact, it was only 20 psi and basically flat. I immediately went back across the street and shared that information as both of the schedulers looked at each other and determined the falsifying fraudulent tech was that did the work on my car. I had to double check to make sure they even rotated the tires. I keep trying to go back, but there's always something one year. They busted the bolt off of my air filter housing. read more

Chris Cooper had great customer service and was easy to talk to. I called for an oil change ,dropped my truck off and it was done within 3 hours. AWESOME JOB BRO read more

Came here for an oil change once. One of the men told me I was dangerously close from needing new brakes.... I just had my brakes redone not even 6 months before. I'll never EVER be back. I'll find a small shop that doesn't try to swindle women. read more

I have safety concerns for future customers at Sun Devil... I wrote a good review about this shop two years ago, but I would like to share my most recent experience. I recently had an oil change and tire rotation here and I unfortunately experienced a distressing incident that compelled me to share my honest feedback. The first part was that after my oil change, they tried to sell me a new CV boot but I took my car to my mechanic and they said I did not need one... they tried to sell me something I did not need. That was not the safety concern and worst part of the experience though... I did not notice the issue until I ventured onto the freeway a couple days ago...driving at high speeds caused four of the lug nuts to fly off on my drivers side front tire. This jeopardized my safety and the life of my unborn child, as I'm currently seven months pregnant. I noticed the tire was about to come off when I was exiting the freeway because my entire steering wheel started to shake. It did not shake until after I got off the freeway...Thankfully I noticed and parked my car right away. The oversight of not tightening the lug nuts properly when doing my tire rotation could have led to a catastrophic accident. Thankfully, I managed to avoid disaster, but the incident has left me shaken and deeply concerned about the level of attention to detail at Sun Devil Auto. While I appreciate that they promptly towed my vehicle back to their shop and fixed the resulting damage to the hub assembly at no cost, the potential consequences of their oversight cannot be understated. I feel compelled to warn future customers to exercise caution and thoroughly inspect their vehicles after any service here. Safety should always be the top priority, especially when it comes to automotive maintenance. I urge this shop to implement stricter quality control measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. read more

been here multiple times to do a oil change, every time they are supposed to rotate your tires, sometimes they'll even ask. The last three times I've noticed they have not. I thought the first time you know what OK it's fine. I brought it in last minute and they were barely able to squeeze me in for the day. I was fine with that. Second time I noticed it I brought it up to the manager and said hey did you guys rotate my tires? They told me yes. Knowing full well they did not because the ones that needed to be rotated had a lower tread, and color design designation. This third time I didn't do it at all. They even asked me. And told me that there was a nail in my tire which there was, but the tire needed to be replaced when in reality it was repairable. I went to discount tire and that's when they told me it was in a repairable spot. I am starting to lose trust in these guys. I will continue to use their oil change, but that is it for now. I am actively seeking different shops that can do what they say is in their services. I do not recommend going to this place to all the time and I'm frustrated because I thought I finally found a solid shop. read more

This is the only place I take my vehicles. Mark, Frank, and Sid are absolutely amazing at the front counter. I've been a loyal customer since 2018. They act with integrity at all times, prices are fair, and the work is done right. Just last week, I needed an oil change between two major road trips. Mark was able to squeeze me in during a cancellation. What more can I say, these guys are excellent!! read more

No E for effort from these guys. I wanted them to look at the door that wouldn't open and see why my 1993 Jeep was idling high. Not time consuming tasks, so Sid said to bring it on it. I was there before noon. I was told all their mechanic's were out to lunch and there were two cars ahead of me, that it would be a couple hours and he would call. At 5:30 I realized I hadn't heard from them and knew they closed at 6 so I called. Sid answered and said they would look at it first thing in the morning since the mechanic's all left at 5!!! I have things to do and can't leave it overnight and why hasn't anybody bothered to call me? They couldn't find 15 or 20 min to even look at it in the 5 and a half hours they had it? Then why have me bring it in?? And then not even bother to call me? To have such blatant disrespect for my time and effort (to have somebody follow me over there to both drop it off and pick it up) then not even bother to call? UNACCEPTABLE! I realize shit happens sometimes, but seriously pick up the phone. Don't assume I could give my car up another day and when I do go to pick it up, simply apologize, don't be such a rude jerk to me. NOT COOL! read more

Their service is excellent. Front counter always helpful and friendly. They got my car in and out in a couple days while the dealer told me 2 weeks before they could even look at it. I would recommend this sun devil to all my friends. read more

Best in the business! Always honest and always helpful! I am so grateful they are located right down the street from me. Love these guys!!! read more

My Yukon had some.issues right before vacation. I called Sun Devil and got it right in. They were able to look at it and tell me the issues later that day. They fixed it while we were on vacation and their pricing was better than any other place we had called. When we got back they had it ready. Frank the manager was amazing at getting me taken care of when there was an issue with my card. He stayed over to make sure it was all taken care of. Mark and Syd are also amazing very friendly and helpful. I will be taking our vehicles here anytime we need stuff fixed. Very honest and kind and they take time.to explain issues. Well done Sun Devil!!!! Amazing experience Jeff and Lisa Bratcher read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Hows this for starters: 1.) Got an oil change and my car overheated on the way home. Why? They forgot to PUT OIL IN, they only removed the oil!!! Do you even know the kind of wear that puts on an engine??? 2.) I have my brakes done on my BMW. I got from Mesa to Tempe, parked, then when I backed up, MY ROTOR FELL OFF! They never bolted it back on after the brake job. Manager: I wondered why there were parts left on his cart when he was done. 3.) Bad Battery. They tell me my alternator was bad, so I need Alternator, Belts, AND battery. I pay, but I keep my parts. I take my alternator to be tested and it was perfect. Crooks and just PLAIN HORRIBLE at automotive. read more

I had oil change done yesterday 11-27-21 on my 2007 gmc seirra 3500hd 4x4 6.6 deisel. Picked up truck drove it home and haven't drove it since. Walked out to go to breakfast and there's a puddle of oil all over the ground. It's leaking from the plug on the pan . Truck has never leaked. But it is now and after 5 hours of waiting for an oil change . ! I'm adding pictures for you to see what I'm talking about. I would appreciate it if you contacted me ASAP. Thank you. I would have posted the photos of my issues like I did on the website if I was able.... read more

See all

This place is a joke. We had shocks replaced a few years back and believed they were still under warranty. My wife called and he said to bring it in. Dropped it off at before 9:00am. At 5:55pm we called as we had not heard from them. They never even looked at it! Guy at the counter said they are a day behind. Why tell us to bring it in then!? Last service we had there they left the oil cap off and oil got everywhere, that was the last time we went there. Apparently nothing has changed! I would suggest not taking your vehicle there! read more

I called asking about getting my car sniffed. Mark was fabulous educating me on how the smog process works in the state of Arizona and everything I would need to do to pass. Today I went to get an oil change at Sun Devil auto because of the wonderful customer service Mark gave me over the phone. Very professional and helpful team. read more

Don't trust them Sun Devil Auto! Came into the shop because the brake light on my dashboard popped up, they told me they had to look at my car to make an estimate. Took them 3 hours to get back to me with an estimate. Then told me my rotors are warped and needed them replaced. I just got my rotors replaced so I asked them if they could just replace the brake pads. Told me they couldn't and said that I had to replace both. So I picked up my car and took it to a different auto shop. They put in brake fluid and the light turned off , they checked my rotors and brake pads and said they were fine. Glad I went somewhere else for a second opinion. Don't trust sun devil auto they tried to make me pay for rotors and brake pads which is at least $500 for the service. They thought they could scam me because I was a young girl by myself. Worst experience. read more

Do not take your car here. They refused to fix a sensor I have hanging out from my hood, I think it wasn't worth their time to fix. I was willing to pay to have this fixed, and now I have to take my car somewhere else to get it fixed correctly. Also mechanic was rude and unhelpful. read more

Been coming here for years! Always a pleasant staff and punctual. This last week after an oil change the plug was not tightened enough and a lot of oil leaked all over my garage. After a phone call to sun devil they fit me in immediately and gave me a free oil change. This place keeps knocking it out of the park with customer service. Highly recommend!! read more

This shop is the gold standard of mechanical shops. They have excellent customer service, management, and employees. I am always comfortable with leaving my vehicles here. They always make sure my vehicles have the maintenance done and treated like family. A big thank you to the entire staff from me. read more

I love this place. Easy to drop off my car for an oil change on a Saturday and pick it up later. Fair pricing and fast service. Being a woman, I often get car places trying to screw me over and these people 100% do not try to do this. Bob is such a friendly guy. Thank you guys for making me feel comfortable here. read more

Beware that the price doubles if you are a woman. I went in to ask for an alignment and he wanted almost 200 dollars and everywhere else is 89. read more

They have little knowledge and can only do basic repairs like brakes, change oil, etc. Don't take older cars here just go to Lefty's.

Ingave them a five star review because i thought they did good. They told me my car had a oil leak and take it to dealer , which i did. I had oil blowback into my turbo on my LR because the aftermarket filter the tech did Not put on correctly! It was loose and oil went all into my turbo and engine. Very disappointed in this fact i had a new Market filter put on and will never take it here again. read more

Great group of guys! Treat you fair as we all know repairs ARE going to be expensive YOU should always save a little money but I can honestly say these people are very fair and will work with you and treat you with respect. Thank you for your help! read more

No customer service. And maybe it's just them learning how to treat their customers. Been going here for a while. Show up this morning to get an oil change. Maybe 4 cars in the parking lot. One person checking in. Ask them oh do you have an appointment? No they say. Okay not a problem. I walk up. What do you need? An oil change please. Uh do you have an appointment? No. As he looks me up and down with a disgusted look, we are full. Me - stunned silence. Him you can book one. In a week or two. Yeah no thanks. So I call my husband who calls them. Sure come right in we're not real busy right now. Okay screw you. How rude can you be. I literally said nothing but good morning and oil change and somehow I'm not worthy of your service??? read more

I went to them to get my ac fixed under warranty. And it was a very difficult repair that wasn't an easy fix. The men were very patient and diligent in making sure it was repaired properly every time I reached out. Very honest and hard working and I really appreciated the market director getting involved to make sure I was happy. Would recommend them all day long!!!! B read more

My family has gone to this location now for over 3 years, and we are so glad we made the transition to this business. Bob, one of the main managers, is top notch. He is always friendly, honest, and upfront about service needs and requirements. I was speaking with him, and like he stated, the business really feels like a "family". Decor/Lobby: The shop has about 8 bays for work, which is great for the size of the location. Inside they have some seating, not too much, but enough if you're just stopping in for an oil change. Hot coffee, water, and a vending machine as well. Customer Service/Technicians: This is truly where this business shines. I have never had a single issue with this company. I have had horrendous service with companies in this area in regards to car maintenance and I'm glad they're honest. They can help if needed, and there is payment options via a credit card I believe, but don't quote me on it. Downside: The only thing I could find was the fact you can't bring in 3rd party parts and have them use those. Parts must come from in-house, or they will order them. I used to be able to bring brake pads in, before I did this on my own, and companies would use them. But from a insurance and liability point I understand. Overall: Thank you Sun Devil Auto for the amazing work ethic, and honest service. I would say can't wait to see you again, but you get what I'm saying haha read more

Thanks for working on my car. Got an engine oil cz, engine coolant flush, and transmission flush. read more

Sun Devil Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

They'll milk you. They'll try to do as many unrelated jobs as possible before getting to the actual issue. Their parts are way over priced, and they won't let you bring your own parts. My recommendation is go somewhere else or do it yourself. read more

Take your car elsewhere! Got my oil changed (simple right? ) and got recommended a bs flush that the manufacturer of my car specifically recommends to not do. When I called them out on it, they said that that's regular practice and that's how they've always done it. Granted the guy was trying to look it up, but honestly they are not worth the cheapo oil change prices cause they always try to get you with something else. Also I came in and said, it'll be about an hour right? And he said 30 minutesish. Great. I waited an hour (there was no one else in the waiting room) and I had to go up to him and he finally said oh yea yours is done. They also did not honor their check in offer. I also saw them interact with a few people threat they don't be rotating their tires because insert reason here. They didn't do mine either (big surprise) read more

I walked in on one of their most busiest days and not only were they helpful they were extremely kind and full of compassion. They were able to fit me in and fix the under carriage of my car extremely fast. They were beyond generous in the cost of the repair. Frank took extremely good care of not only me, but every customer that walked in after me. They will forever have my business moving forward! Thanks guys! read more

Great customer service and timely service. Went in for a new battery and will be back for routine service.

I brought my scion in to have them listen to it and assess - didn't start quickly like it always has and had a weird little rhythmic sound that was new. Just had my oil and fluids flushed at a Brake Masters and my a/c refreshed, figured it was related. Nice guys at the counter, really kind and made it seem like no problem, they'd call me... didn't. At the end of the day I called them, hadn't gotten to it - fine, even though I don't have a car for 2 days now, fine. Called them the next day, hadn't gotten to it. Finally got a call from some shady new guy (my impression, not fact) that I needed a $4500 transmission. WOAH THERE. I think they somehow saw that I had just gotten new tires next door with my Synchrony credit card or something and didn't even evaluate the car. I had never been to this branch, only the Scottsdale one, but I live less than a mile away - really disappointed considering less than 5 years ago I got a transmission replaced at the Scottsdale branch. Guy seemed really surprised when I said I'll come get it, no thanks. I was REALLY happy with the Scottsdale branch but his one? Hard pass. Discount next door is awesome for tires, and I guess I'll just go back to Brake Masters. You lost out too - she may look rough but I take care of my 2006 baby and NEVER plan on giving her up - I have LOTS of work I could've sent your way. And I work for a car dealership AND an insurance company. "BIG mistake. HUGE. But I have to go shopping now..." Hope you don't work on commission. (If you know the reference, you know." ;) read more
