Final quote with a description of everything - including the non completed block test
Luke D.

I have never left a bad review in my life on any platform, and I always try to see the good in every situation, but I needed to share this experience I had at 25th Street Automotive. I read a lot of reviews before deciding on going to a mechanic. 25th Street Automotive seemed great from the reviews, and it still probably is, but it wasn't from my experience. I just want to share my experience: I decided to set an appointment with them to diagnose why my truck was still pulling 2 knock sensor codes after replacing the knock sensors myself. My radiator just so happened to blow up the day before the appointment, so I got it towed to 25th St Automotive. I talked with Tom and said that before we diagnose the knock sensors, I'm pretty sure I need a new radiator because it is leaking right under the radiator. He said that it would be $80 for them to pressure-check the cooling system to see if it was actually the radiator. I agreed to this to make sure it is in fact the radiator. After telling Tom that coolant will leak out of the radiator - the tech reads the codes stored on the truck, fills the truck up with coolant, takes it on a short test drive, and comes to the conclusion that they cannot do any more tests on the truck without replacing the radiator because it couldn't hold any coolant. Go figure. After telling me it would be $1240 to replace the radiator and perform the block tests, head gasket test, etc, I told him I will replace the radiator myself and will come to pick up the truck - happy to pay the $80 that we agreed to for the pressure test of the cooling system to determine if it was the radiator or not. He shows me a bill for $220 because the tech started doing the diagnostics for the knock sensor codes to make sure what I initially told them was accurate and it took an hour and a half.. After having to negotiate with Tom, he agreed to let me out at $165. I feel really let down by this shop because of all the amazing reviews I read about it. I thought after 10 minutes of going back and forth, they would live up to their reviews and all the awards they have on the walls of being such a great shop by making it right with the customer. But Tom was too adamant about having to pay the tech for the 1.5 hours of work he did. It felt too salesy rather than wanting to do right by the customer and having both of us leave on the same page. It would be a 5-star review if I was able to get out for the $80 that we agreed to for the pressure test. That way I would be paying for what was actually done. If the conclusion at that point was, "Yup, you need a new radiator" then great, that is honest work, thank you for the clarification - and then we can go from there. If y'all want to make this right, give me a call. But if not, this review will stay as my experience at 25th Street Automotive.

Other shops work on my brakes after you guy's work.

Ask the Community - 25th Street Automotive

Fiat 500C, 2012? Need engine lights checked and prepare for emissions testing.

We are well-trained to perform the tests one step at a time to find the fault without overdoing things. Just call for an appointment 602-955-2637

Do you rebuild engines? Specifically, a late 90s Miata?

We find the guarantee, etc to be more beneficial to replace the engine rather than rebuilding in house.

Did you repair Kia Souls? Mine is a 2016 +?

We certainly do! Best advice: Don't wait for Yelp to relay your questions, just give one of us a call at 602-955-2637. Have a good day!

Do you provide services for a door latch/lock replacement on a 1997 f250? Thanks!

We provide all kinds of repairs - inside and outside of cars and light trucks

Fo you repair Toyota Prius?

Yes, we have for many years now

Do you repair Jaquar?

Yes. We provide most any kind of maintenance and repair on most any kind of car

Do you do pre-purchase inspections and does that need an appointment?

Yes, we have various pre purchase inspections tailored to your potential risk: what year, make, model, miles and who you are buying from. While an appointment is not required, we are a very busy shop so you may find setting up an appointment gets… 

Do you work on volkswagens (2013 Passat)? I am having issues with either alternator or the connectors to them

Yes, we work on both import and domestic cars and light trucks

Can I bring in my car and an engine I purchased for you to install?

While we like to be accommodating, we've learned that this kind of thing is problematic, so I can't offer to help with that.

Do they handle transmission rebuild/replacement?

Yes, we do replace transmissions. We also work with a local rebuilder. Either way, it will be a thorough, quality job with a strong warranty: saving you money in the long run.

Can they handle brake issues on foreign car like Infiniti and Jaguar?

We perform all kinds of repairs and maintenance on all types of cars. We tend to lean toward specializing in Asian and Domestic, so a Jaguar might best be serviced by a Jag specialist

Called to schedule a next-day oil change. They were able to fit me in for the afternoon. They…read morecalled back to let me know it would take 1.5 hours. I showed up and had to park in the convenience store parking lot next door, because it looked like a pretty tight lot. They said that was no problem. I sat and looked at my phnoe for a little bit until the battery almost died (it was alrfeady low when I got there). They had charging cords on the coffee table with adapters for every phone. I plugged my phone in and sat it on the table and got comfortable for a longer wait, but moments later, true to the 1.5 hour estimate, they said my truck was ready. They advised me of some sort of leak on the front axle, but told me to check with the dealership because it might be under warranty. I appreciate that. I'll definitely be back for future service.

Confident and relieved we'd found a "go to" mechanic in Phoenix, one month later the car began experiencing intermittent power steering outage issues. Our son (in college and alone far from home) immediately brought the car back in, but AMC essentially refused to pop the hood, or otherwise even look at the car "unless the driver could replicate the issue". Two weeks later power steering and AC completely failed on a busy highway (due to a leaking radiator hose that ultimately fried the alternator). Paid an additional $800.00 (plus towing) to a competitor to fix what AMC should've caught. Also, AMC hours are now M-Th and of course this emergency happened on a Friday. First time Yelp has led me astray. 9/9/2026 - Owner Gilberto immediately reached out on Yelp below apologizing and asking for submission of additional repairs documentation to handle the case "fairly". To be fair, I did not go into specifics of prior phone interactions with Gilberto - owner - after the car was first towed to AMC and the had to be retowed to another shop due to AMC's inability to handle after hours emergencies (eg., no closed parking, nor key drop or other available). While all calls with were professional and courteous, Gilberto was ultimately unhelpful and disappointing (leaving us with limited options). The fact that AMC refused to do anything after the car was brought in by our son (for scary warning signs similar to the original problems) just prior to a catastrophic (towable) failure on a busy roadway is what is unacceptable. Not saying AMC is a bad business, they just really blew it. For minor car maintenance (oil changes and tire repairs) AMC is probably great. For major car repairs go elsewhere in the valley, please.

I first used Revive Auto Care to replace a control arm on my Infiniti QX60. I found them on Yelp, appreciated their positive reviews, and liked that they communicated over text. That repair went well, so when my AC started blowing hot air, I decided to return. They initially charged me $100 for diagnostics and a refrigerant top-off, then told me I needed a new compressor and quoted approximately $1,200. I dropped the vehicle off on Tuesday. By Wednesday and Thursday, they still had not identified the issue, but they continued replacing parts including the compressor, condenser with receiver drier, premium line kit, secondary rear AC expansion valve, blend door actuator, cabin filter, and recharged the AC system. By Friday, the vehicle was still not repaired, and they ultimately determined that the battery was bad and not providing enough amperage to properly run the AC system. They replaced the battery and told me the issue was fixed, which naturally made me question whether all of the previously replaced parts were actually necessary. The total had also increased to approximately $2,500, and at no point during the process was I contacted for approval on the additional repairs and charges. When I picked up the vehicle Friday evening, the AC was still blowing hot air. In addition, the vehicle was revving abnormally both while driving and while sitting in neutral. It is now Tuesday, and my messages have gone unanswered. On Saturday, I brought the vehicle to Infiniti for another opinion. I was told that the AC system had been overcharged by 1.73 lbs of refrigerant, which they said was causing the issues I experienced after picking the car up. I understand that diagnosing AC problems can be difficult and unexpected issues can happen, but the lack of communication, failure to request approval for major additional repairs, and returning the vehicle in worse condition than when it was dropped off made this a very disappointing experience.

If you want an HONEST shop with amazing customer service (Ashton is awesome!) and great prices,…read morethis is your shop! I came here for a brake pad replacement because it was recommended by the dealership (Audi Peoria) and their prices were outrageous--$1,100 for front pad replacements. Half Price Auto's price with everything was going to be $225. While waiting for my car to get done, the service tech brought in my current brake pad to show me that new pads were not needed at this time. I was completely blown away by the honesty. The dealership where I bought my car was completely ripping me off, so needless to say, I will never go back to Audi for any service again. I have found a GREAT SHOP with GREAT PEOPLE!

The service was prompt, did not give me any issues with the Groupon, and for the most part it's an easy process. For an oil change and tire rotation I was in and out in about 30 to 40 minutes. Just be aware, and it's listed on the Groupon so it's not a surprise, there is disposal charges, etc., that I still need to be charged. They call themselves half price auto but the pricing isn't really half price compared to others. It's pretty much the same. I added a tire rotation, which was $20, I wish they told me it was $20 before I added. For "half price auto" $20 is a little bit high for just a tire rotation. They posted that the regular price for oil change synthetic full is about $75.

As a first-time customer, I was disappointed with my experience. I scheduled an inspection and was…read moretold it would take about "half an hour." I understand that automotive work can sometimes take longer than expected, but after an hour and a half I had to ask for an update because no one had communicated the delay. I noticed on the front desk computer that I was entered into the system as a drop-off, even though I was waiting for my vehicle. I always wait during appointments, and if that impacts how service is prioritized, it should have been confirmed when scheduling. I also noticed there appeared to be either a misunderstanding or scheduling issue with another customer who had an appointment after mine, which raised concerns about how appointments were being managed. When I asked for an update on the timing, the response I received felt dismissive. The employee responded that "nothing is ever a half an hour, not here, not any shop." I understand that estimates can change and that inspections may take longer than expected, but my concern was not that it took longer--it was that I was given an estimate, waited significantly beyond that timeframe, and had to ask for an update myself. The employee told me he would check on the timing and get back to me, but I did not receive an update afterward. Instead, he returned to the office and continued working with vehicles. Another employee also said he would check on the status and where the first employee was at, but I did not receive an update from him either. A simple update or revised timeframe would have gone a long way. The inspection, which was quoted at approximately 30 minutes over the phone, ultimately took about two hours and cost around $100. The findings included recommended back strut replacement, brake fluid service, and a battery replacement, with an estimated total of around $1,760. They also identified a bent rim, but I did not appear to receive a quote for that item despite requesting one. I have no doubt that their technicians have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and repair vehicles, and that expertise has value. However, expertise does not replace the need for clear communication and respect for a customer's time. I was hoping for a shop that values the customer's time as much as their own. Given this experience, along with pricing that appears to be higher than other shops I have compared in the area, I am uncertain whether I will return for future service. I hope the shop improves its scheduling process and communication with customers when delays occur. ******* Edit in response to their Google review commentary: It's worthwhile to note the company response below essentially argues pricing (which was never contested as explained in my above review). The pricing was provided for other individual's knowledge of business pricing and a stated reason for hesitation in repeated business. There was no argument to the state of the car either-- it's at a shop as it needs repair. I went to one other business, not multiple as was stated in person and over the phone-- indicating a lack of clarity again with notation on client accounts more publicly-- and and was quoted half an hour of my time with no updated timeline despite two requests to one staff member as well as the owner, Jesse, who just walked away. The Argumentative and dismissive responses on the stated concerns in the severe lack of timing and communication are what have just ensured I do not return to this establishment and suggest others take a closer look at what shop they choose for the work on their vehicles.
