Run! They are horrible! I had to replace the Turbo in my Mini COOPER in December! after the install I took it to Mini of Tempe to have everything checked out. I had a small leak on the valve cover and ended up having to replace it. After words Mini gave me a clean bill of health and told me the turbo needed to be tuned and the ECU needed to be tuned. they recommended the Tuning Grupe. I took it to them and they said the valve cover needed replacing. I paid for that. then they said the new turbo was bad and it had to be replaced. They said they could not help me with getting a refund from their parts place because I did not get it from them. I told them to get a turbo they could tune and if they could not get it tuned. they promised me if they could not they would refund my money. They could not get it tuned. when they said it was good to go. I took a ride with the owner and it still lagged and was throwing codes. I took it back and told the I need it fixed so I can run it through admissions. they gave it back to me and I ran it through and failed. the reason why is because they took the monitoring off of almost everything. I then told them I had enough after talking to Mini COOPER of Tempe and the master mechanic at Mini of Scottsdale. They recommended me have the shop flash it back to factory and take it to a reputable shop. so that's what I did. The owner reassured me if they found any thing wrong they would reimburse me. Of course after the monitoring was turned back on there were all sorts of fault codes. Note: This was after dealing with them for six months. The new shop emediatly said there was something strange going on. He found that one of the pins on the ECU was bent. I called the Tuning Gupe and let Parker know what he found and to please let the owners know. he said no problem he would let them know. Then the mechanic found the the turbo they put in can not spool up enough to work properly and needed to be replace. I called the Tuning Grupe again but now I just get voice mail. I left a message stating that I need to set an appointment to talk with the owners. No call back. I called back again and got their answering machine right away. I know they were ignoring me. I left another message that I need to get a new ECU and Turbo and needed to get reembursed for what I paid them for the tuning and turbo install. Shocker, no call back. Bottom line stay away. Everytime I picked my car up from them it was not fixed. They broke parts on my car. They put it back together wrong, and almost every time I ether had to put something back together or fix something they broke. They lost all my documentation of the custom parts that were installed on my vehicle and my DMV test records. That brand new valve cover that had to be replace was never retuned so I could get my money back. Save yourself headaches. I would not let these guys tune my lawnmower.

The team at the Tuning Gruppe took their time to install sway bars on my M3P today. With my kind of luck, the front Eibach Sway Bar End Links decided to make plenty of clanking noise on my way home. I immediately turned around, and pulled back into the shop area. The guys were immediately open to investigating the issue, they did not turn me away which was very much appreciated. The crew isolated the issue and resolved the clanking (re-installed factory end link). This my friends, is a team that has your back. I do not expect perfection, but I do expect someone that listens, is professional & solution oriented. Well done guys. Thank you for actually caring about your work product, even if the product itself turns out not to be that great.

I write this review with no anger or malice intended. Just the facts and the intention to save others from Tuning Gruppe. I am a medical student who started bringing my 2002 Mark IV 1.8T Jetta in to Tuning Gruppe in early 2014 when I moved here from Connecticut. I stopped bringing my car in May 2016. Every time I brought my car in the repairs were not completed, re-broke, or something new broke. I felt like I was cursed until I realized recently they must have been doing it on purpose or negligent, probably both, but I can't prove the sabotage. I have never had so many mechanical issues days AFTER bringing my car into any shop. Hands down the worse shop I have ever been to in my life and I am 51 years old. I checked the reviews from 2014 to 2016 and besides one, one-star review all the other nine reviews were five stars. It would seem that somehow they are stacking the reviews in their favor so if you are thinking of going to Tuning Gruppe based on the their reviews, I do not think the reviews are complete and accurate. Why did it take me 3 years to write this review? I needed to be sure and I just figured all shops here in The Sun Valley were full of idiots. Turns out I was partly right. Walmart Auto Center at Riverview is thick with incompetence. However, I found LeSueur Car Company and Berge Volkswagen. They both have, and I stress this, never returned my car with issues unfixed, re-broke days later, or something new broke. It's time someone made you aware of Eric and David's poor workmanship, poor organization, and possible scamming. I repaired all my cars for three decades. I'm a gear head who likes to heavily modify his rides and enjoys fixing cars. It gives me peace. This place never gave me peace. In all my years, never did things just break on my cars after taking them to a shop five out of six times I brought them in for repairs. Often simple jobs, like replacing the windshield reservoir-to-sprayers tubing, failed three times. My car is back in the shop twice. I had horrible squealing brake pads because they skipped the brake quiet product. My car is back in the shop. Little things mostly and being busy in school I dealt with it due to them being friendly and their reviews. Then I started to believe that these five star reviews were not complete and inaccurate. Next, I had the AC system redone for $857.00 and the car started overheating two weeks after I got it back. My car is back in the shop. They said I needed two new radiator fans. That was not a little thing at $321.00. The last straw was a serious screw up on their part which they denied. They replaced my clutch and offered a cheaper one-sided clutch plate. I heard lighter in weight, cheaper in price, and same exact functioning. It has been three years of "granny shifting" because I cannot shift quickly into second or third gear from the moment I drove it out of Tuning Gruppe. I have to let the engine drop to 1500 rpms at least when accelerating and shifting into second and third gear from a dead stop. It has ruined my love of acceleration in my moded out ride. They test drove it, said the stop synchro is gone, and I needed a new transmission. They completely denied any fault and a replacement to the OEM double-sided clutch plate unless I paid. Yet another "new" thing breaking after one of their repairs. I never went back and I should have taken them to small claims court over the repair it seems. They ruined my transmission. Other aggressive drivers almost hit me accelerating from a traffic light and honk at me now. It is a constant reminder of their incompetence, or at least I thought it was only incompetence until last week. I mentioned the whole "one-sided" clutch/stop synchro fiasco at Berge Volkswagen last week and the service guy listened to the whole story. When I mentioned the "one-sided" clutch plate he said, "That would do it to the transmission." According to the service department at Berge VW, Tuning Gruppe put an incompatible clutch plate in my car. Huh, they sabotaged me or through utter negligence put an incompatible clutch plate in my car and then tried to sell me a used transmission for $800.00. Looks like my car is going back into the shop again because of Tuning Gruppe. I hope if you are reading this and looking for an honest, top workmanship garage you go elsewhere. I love LeSueur Car Company and started going there after the clutch plate fiasco. I have had five repairs now over 3.5 years. Flawless work and I never had to bring it In to be fixed again because something went wrong. They specialize in German cars too. They love Volkswagens. Test drives always offered solo on their used cars. They pick you up and drop you off at home. Coffee with a smile. Hourly rates $90.00. Only draw back is that you cannot drop your car off after hours due to their security gates. I consider that a plus though. Proof of repairs attached

The crew here is amazingly great to work with. They are super honest and will go out of their way anytime to help out, and they have a wealth of knowledge to back it. I no longer live in the valley, but still make the trip back because they are the only ones who I want to touch my car, and have always done right by me. Also have very fair pricing for the very high level of work they do. If you are trying to figure out where to take your German car I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had an appointment at 9AM on November 4, 2016 and nobody was there. Waited 20 minutes and then left. Punctuality is obviously an issue.

This place sets an example for all businesses to follow, Truly amazed by the customer service…read more Nadira was very prompt and accurate when providing my quote and communications during the repair process. Service was a in house rebuild on a 2006 F150 transmission. Mike takes care of the rebuilds and his expertise shows. Oh I guess now is a good time to mention that this vehicle has 439,000 plus miles on it. And the transmission had never been touched as far as repairs, just fluid and filter changes when I remembered they were due. They stand behind the work and do understand the customers needs. Had a slight issue after picking the truck up that was promptly addressed even though it was actually not related to the rebuild. My shift cable was so old that it would not retain adjustment. It was 20 years old at least. Mike found the issue and actually walked me out so I could see what was happening. Part was ordered, wrong part was shipped over to there shop twice due to it not matching the vin number. When they found the part number after removal. Nadira actually ran and picked it up to help expedite the repair. Mike took care of the labor to install and I just paid for the cable. They didn't have to do this, this was above and beyond since this was not related to the actual work preformed or quoted. Transmission has about 350 miles on it now and wow its working way better than I could have dreamed of shifts are on point and smoother than I would have ever dreamed off. Way to go, This shop is on my highly recommend list and I will be taking all my business here if the need ever arises. Shop has my vote for business of the year, way to go to the whole crew involved. Thanks Again--

Called Saturday morning to see if they could check on a trans temp light that would keep coming on…read moreand off. Told me to come in to check it out and Mike went out to diagnose the issue and he advised it's not a trans issue, but an electrical issue based on the codes that were coming up. He suggested I find a place specializing in electrical. They didn't try to nickel and dime me and charge an inspection fee. For a Saturday they were pretty busy and the parking lot was full. Based on this one experience, will plan to bring our vehicles here when the need arises and will update the review accordingly. Thanks Mike...

The only place I will go to! The staff is always the best - so kind, knowledgeable, and quick!…read moreThanks so much

I originally chose Christian Brothers on McQueen and Guadalupe because they appeared organized,…read moredetail-oriented, and professional. I purchased four tires for my Ford Transit work van and trusted their recommendation, assuming they were providing the correct tires for the vehicle. Less than a year later, one of the tires began splitting. I took the van to another shop that was closer because I did not feel safe driving all the way back to their shop. It was at the new shop where I was informed that the tires installed on my van were not properly rated to handle the weight of the vehicle and should not have been installed in the first place. I contacted Christian Brothers to explain the situation and was told I would need to drive the van back to their shop -- despite the damaged tire -- for them to determine whether anything would be covered under warranty. While I was getting the quote elsewhere to replace all four tires, Christian Brothers called back and offered a slightly lower price if I purchased another full set through them. In the end, the difference was only about $100 compared to the other shop. A shop I had never even used before, and that was the cost with no additional warranties or discounts (like Christian Brothers was claiming to be giving me). They stated they were giving me tires at cost and not charging for labor, not true. They tried to make it seem like they were doing me some huge favor by giving me such a small discount. Their front desk employee, Eric was as "helpful" as he could be throughout the process, but overall should have pushed harder with his upper management to resolve this. They should have completely comped the price of the old tires as this was their, dangerous mistake. Now they're not only making money off of me but also causing me to lose additional money by missing work to fix a problem they caused. I'm extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled, especially considering the original tires that they chose were improper for a work van like mine. All of this resulted in me needing to purchase two sets of tires within a single year!!! I expressed to them that being without my van would result in loss of money as it is my work vehicle. They had no concern for my time, money and no sense of urgency to resolve the situation that they caused. I had to leave my vehicle with them for more than a day the first time and again overnight the second time. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone!
