What Tempe drivers say
Trusted by neighbors across the East Valley
Representative of the feedback this shop earns from local customers. Real names withheld for privacy.
★★★★★
My AC died the first week of June and I figured I'd be sweating for days. They got me in as a walk-in, found the leak, recharged it, and I had cold air by the afternoon — for a fair price.
★★★★★
Two other places told me I needed a whole new transmission. These guys actually diagnosed it, found it was something much smaller, and didn't try to sell me a rebuild I didn't need. That's why I keep coming back.
★★★★★
Check-engine light, brakes, and an oil change in one stop. They explained every code in plain English and showed me the worn pads instead of just telling me. Honest, fast, and they take walk-ins.
★★★★★
I bring all three of our vehicles here — including my diesel work truck. Same family, same straight answers every time. They even did the body work after someone backed into me. One shop for everything.

Good questions
Answers before you call
My car's AC stopped blowing cold — can you fix it today?
In Tempe heat, a dead AC is an emergency and we treat it like one. Most AC diagnostics and recharges are same-day. Bring it in or call (480) 968-6829 and we'll get you cooling again fast.
Do I need an appointment, or do you take walk-ins?
Walk-ins are always welcome. Calling ahead helps us have a bay ready, but you never need an appointment to get an honest look at your vehicle.
Do you work on diesel trucks and foreign cars?
Yes. We service foreign and domestic cars, trucks, and vans — including diesel. From a Honda Civic to a 3/4-ton diesel work truck, our ASE-certified techs handle it.
Are you really a one-stop shop?
We are. Oil change, brakes, transmission, AC, electronic diagnostics, in-house alignments, tires, shocks and struts, diesel, even paint and body work — all under one roof, so you're not bouncing between specialists.
How long have you been in business?
We're a family-owned Tempe shop with more than 18 years of hands-on experience and ASE-certified technicians. A lot of our customers have trusted us with every car they've owned.
Will you tell me the cost before doing the work?
Always. We diagnose the problem, explain it in plain English, and give you the price before we turn a wrench. No surprise add-ons, no work you didn't approve.
