Man, oh, man -- am I glad to have found these folks! I went in for an oil change and "alignment" -- but also gave a vague rambling of the issues my truck was having. The guys at the front desk were incredibly patient and took my concerns seriously. They were honest and communicative about the work they'd be doing, and even though I had to leave my truck overnight -- I was very appreciative of how quick the return time felt! Then I got the bill.... And it was way more reasonable and fair than ANY price I had been given at other garages. I seriously wanted to shed man-tears in that lobby. After driving around in my truck again for a day, it feels like I took my vehicle to a hidden gem of a medical spa. I'll definitely recommend Tempe Auto Repair to anyone who asks! Thank you guys! read more

These guys are great! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous, gave me a ride home when we found out how long repairs were going to be. Prices for repairs seemed very fair and reasonable. Mechanics very really good diagnosing problems and fixing them in timely manner. After repairs completed, no other issues came up and everything's working great. read more

Had a good experience with them. Went to head to work one morning and my truck decided to start sputtering. Called them as soon as they opened and was greeted warmly. They didnt assume anything and just took the information while filing it away for later use. They found out that I had a fuel pump issue and promptly finished and returned my vehicle too me. They were in the pricey side but they also replaced a spark plug that became damaged in the process for free and did my oil change and my truck runs great. I will be returning for future maintenance read more

Tempe Auto Repair went above and beyond. I got brakes and rotors changed. I had bought rotors at AutoZone twice and we're not lasting. Jim was very kind. I told him AutoZone said my alternator bad Tempe Auto repair checked and alternator good! I called Tempe Auto Repair that morning they changed my front breaks and front rotors that morning. So grateful. Would come here again for auto repairs. read more

This place is awesome! Called Jim on Monday to fix my AC in my 1998 Ford F-150, he told me to bring it in to take a look. I received a call within hours of dropping it off. The price was affordable and he also offered help with our heater as well. My truck was done in a day and ready for pick up! The team was friendly, reliable, and true to their word! If you're looking for a car repair shop, look no further!! Thanks Jim and team!!! We will see you next time! read more

Tempe auto was extremely understanding and helpful dealing with my car. Highly recommend anyone needing auto work to get it done here.

Have been relying on Tempe Auto Repair for many years. They really look out for their customers! Highly recommend

I'm a new car owner and panicked when I ran over a nail on the highway. Luckily, Tempe Auto Repair was there to help. I walked in early in the morning and they were able to lift my car up, take the tire, patch the hole, and refill with air all under 30 mins. Not to mention it was only $20. It was such a relief. read more

Best and honest repair shop my go to spot for all my auto needs gives you a very competitive price and honest solutions

Over the past couple of cars/years the crew at Tempe Auto have been nothing short of amazing. Always reliable, great pricing, superior service and just great guys. I bought a new car and it has oil changes and maintenance covered for the next 3 years so I won't be using your services, but I want to let others know how great you are and I hope they'll bring their cars for service to you in my absence. Thanks again for taking care of my Lexus RX300's and my Red Jeep Liberty. You guys rock!!! Michael Murdock, US Navy Veteran read more

These guys do great work at fair prices. I've had my brakes, multiple general servicing, and a few other various jobs done here. I usually forget to plan ahead, but they have also been able to accommodate same day. Definitely recommend! read more

My car's suspension needed to be tightened up and they informed me my last mechanic did it wrong thats why it kept coming loose because the wrong size bolts were installed. I was seen very quickly and only what was needed got done for a great price! I finally found a new reliable shop. All the mechanics were welcoming and friendly. read more

Took my car in because there was some rattling going on with my car. The staff took a quick look and said it was due to my engine and that they were going to charge me $700+ for it. I declined and went home to do my own research and saw that it could be a problem with the heat shield being loose. I went and checked under my car, lo and behold it was a loosened heat shield fastener causing the noise. It ended up costing me $5 to repair the issue as opposed to $700. Just another money hungry repair shop. read more

I absolutely recommend this place!!! 100%. Jim is awesome! I first heard of them through my good friend MaryAnn, she also loves this place. I only trust them. Such a good place, always honest, and they don't try to scam you. Love them! read more

Didn't get any work done here. My issue was with the scheduling and price quoting. Called a few weeks ago for a quote on what I need done. It was about $300 cheaper than every other shop so I decide I'll take my car here. Fast forward to a few days ago, I called and asked to get an appointment on Saturday. They don't do appointments on Saturday but the guy taking the call never tells me that, he just tells me to bring my car in right when they open. I ask him if he's sure I'll be able to get in? He says totally. Get there at 7am today and they tell me they can't take my car today, unlike what the guy on the phone told me, and they also jack up the quote by $250. Summary: people I worked with here were either shady or misunderstanding how their business works. read more

Had to wait 2hrs more than I was told and was charged $60 more than the original quote I agreed to. Completely unethical. I will never go back stay away read more

Bought a tire set from them, a month later got a flat tire. Called them, was able to get in right away, people there help me right than and there, was in and out within 30 minutes. Initially when buying tires, I didn't expect such a good service. Ben is the guy there! read more

Man these guys are the best!! Very financially fair & they do solid work. I'm a big car guy & usually do all repairs myself but when I've bitten off more than I can chew, these guys are my stress free plan B. Thanks for always being so friendly & helpful & most of all, fair cost. read more

The business is well-run and I found them very flexible in working with me with a breathalyzer in my car, which is an annoying hurdle for a mechanic to deal with when working on a car that needs starting on and off. Long explanation. In the end my car warning light was ok and they charged me nothing. I bought wiper blades from them not just because but because they conveniently have them hanging by checkout and I had been needing some badly, a nice plus. And put them on too even though I didn't ask. I highly recommend them. read more

Mark quoted me half the price that my dealership had gave me the same day. Bought my car in as soon as I left the dealership and had my car repaired with Tempe Auto Repair and it was fixed within a couple of hours. I will definitely be bringing my car here for future repairs and will refer others when looking for an honest quality mechanic. read more

These guys are phenomenal the only palace I'll take my vehicle!!! Always cheaper than everyone else and always fantastic service read more

Tempe Auto Repair is the only Auto Repair I or my family take our vehicles to. We have been going there since 2005. Jake and his crew are experts and know how to fix any problems we might have with our vehicles. Honest, fair prices and they get the job done quickly. If you are looking for a garage to take your cars or trucks to, take my advise and go to Tempe Auto Repair if you want a great job to be done on your vehicles!! read more

Open on a Saturday and with a Tech. In and out in a half a day. This place has been here since 77' and I can see why. Not the cheapest but who wants that when it comes to quality auto repair. Being from the construction industry I can only judge the shop itself. Clean floors and tools. read more

Update - been coming here for the past two years. Still no complaints about the service or the price, thanks Tempe Auto Repair!

I'm forever a customer Thank Jake! Dropped my car off on Monday evening to get new struts. Jake called me early Tuesday afternoon said my car was finished, I could swing by and pick it up!! Awesome service, great price, best parts installed, my car drove so nice. I have a lifetime Mechanic Shop!! I'm forever a customer Thank Jake! read more

The mechanics at Tempe Auto Repair was amazing! I was getting a low battery error which was strange because I bought a new battery in my home state because I knew the battery was old and I didn't know any mechanics in Tempe. I was new to the area then with the low battery error I looked Yelp and Tempe Auto Repair was close by with excellent ratings. I couldn't agree more!! They called me and told me that there was a loose negative connector cable. Whomever installed the battery didn't tighten the cable. They tightened it and didn't charge me! We are definitely taking our car here again if we encounter any other issues with my car. read more

I go to them for all my vehicles repairs and without hesitation and the best value no doubt all my car needs are fixed in a timely manner!

They're pretty pricey, I had my car towed less than half a mile here for $85 and they quoted me 4-5000 for a used engine and all the repairs. I ended up towing my car to another place to do it for half, with other work for the transmission as well. But they were very friendly to me. read more

I highly recommend Tempe Auto Repair. They always give the best prices and the best service. They are my go-to auto repair shop in the area. They'll offer to fix the smallest thing and not over-charge you. Definitely recommend Tempe Auto Repair read more

I needed to prep my car for a cross country drive including an oil change, an alignment, and checking the status of an engine light. They addressed all my issues within a few hours and found that my car had less issues than I expected (a huge sigh of relief). I felt that they were genuinely truthful and had me walking out spending less money than I anticipated. Will absolutely come here from now on! read more

After about a month my Camry started leaking oil again...This is most positively because of the wrong oil filter and plug that was jammed into my car by Tempe Auto Repair...they even fired the guy who did it so I can't say everyone there now is clueless but that guy definitely was. Unfortunately, when I got on the phone with them they said they fixed it to the best of their ability and I was shit out of luck basically. Real nice guys but I was hopping they could have temporarily stopped the oil leak like they did before when their guy f*ed it up. I was not even expecting them to completely restore my 2001 Camry with 200,000 miles...oh well I found my new place, American 5 Star where they stand behind their work. read more

Needed my truck serviced as I spent a couple of days in Tempe. No problem, took it on and the got it done within the hour. Mark advised me on my needing tires, which I was aware of. I told him I was having my tires replaced once I got back home (California). He told me he could beat any price, did just that. So I had them replaced the next day. I was very pleased with Tempe Auto Repair that I told my step-daughter, who lives in Tempe, to take her car there in the future. read more

Recently I had to take my truck to get an oil change. While I was getting my oil changed, I was notified of a problem with my water pump. I had a crack and was leaking pink coolant all over my engine. UGH! After a recommendation from a friend and also an excellent experience with my wife's car (both Yelpers), I chose to take my truck to Tempe Auto Repair to be fixed. When my wife took her car here to fix a problem, I talked with the shop about my potential issue. I was told to bring my truck in for a look and if there was a problem to write up a quote. The diagnosis was no charge. . The staff is very professional and polite, especially Bill. The cost of the repair was around $250-275 cheaper than another quote I had received for the same work and parts. The work was completed as scheduled, same day as long as I brought my truck in before 9 am. I hope I don't have another issue with my truck for some time, but if I do, I'm headed back to Tempe Auto Repair because of the honesty, integrity and price. Good work Tempe Auto Repair! I would recommend checking out Tempe Auto repair if your vehicle needs repair service read more

My family has been taking our cars here since the 1990s. I live in Chandler and still drive all the way in to Tempe because there is no other auto place I trust. They have always been fair, honest, and very reasonable. As a female, I know most auto repair shops can, and do, take advantage of female customers. Not at Tempe Auto Repair. No matter where you live in the valley, it is worth the trip to bring your car here because you will have peace of mind knowing they are taking good care of your car and will always treat you right! read more

one star knocked off because they blew into my interlock (yes, i know. CLASSY! just paying for my mistake) and missed a running test. aside from the EWWWWWWWWW factor, since they didn't tell me they did that, this is a pretty great place. they're honest, fairly priced and quick. i recommend this place to anyone that drives and does not fix their vehicle themselves. and they did make up for the interlock by replacing my gas cap at no charge to me. at least the owner made the effort and that goes a very long way with me. read more

After everyone's "connection" to a mechanic failed me, I turned to my trusty friend Yelp. My car's check engine light was on and needed to pass emissions. Tempe Auto was fast, professional, and honest. I had taken the car to another shop and they said it would take a few days to fix- these guys had it done in a few hours. They said they work with lots of students/ out of state parents. (Luckily my dad was in town at the time...and I'm not even a student anymore. I am, however, a spoiled brat.) I recommended the shop to a friend who had a mystery issue with his car. They ran diagnostics/checked it out and didn't find anything wrong. They didn't charge him anything. Check em out! read more

Came in from out of town and car was having some issues, stopped by and was very pleased with the professional staff the minute I walked in. Repair fast, efficient and fair price. read more

I am pretty happy with this shop, overall. While I was originally quoted for minor issues, I was a little disappointed when I got a call back after them finding more extensive repairs. BUT, when that call back includes an apology (for what was not even the fault of the shop) and a quick, timely repair that includes giving you a break on some extra labor costs... This is a shop I will give recommendations & praise to! I chose this shop because of the location (having a tow bill included). They had my car done in less than 6 hours. They also took the time to give me periodic updates & went over everything for my approval before doing the work. They did a great job, and I really appreciate the honesty that came with the work. Happy to have found a trustworthy place to rely on! read more

You don't really gotta worry about these guys overcharging you for work and I live right next to them and get my oil changed all the time and just walk home instead of waiting there. I love the set up. Anyway, heres to more 2012 reviews Tempe Auto Repair read more

I recently had a problem with a small amount of smoke coming out from under my hood. I needed my car fixed fast and after talking to a few people I took my car to Tempe Auto Repair. They were unable to fix my problem, but they were honest about it and gave me a suggestion on where to go. They didn't charge me a dime for the work they did trying to fix the issues, plus i wound up with a free oil change. So while they didn't fix my car, they will definitely be high on my list of people to bring it to next time there is a problem. read more
