American Muscle Experts! FINALLY ... we have found a trustworthy, honest, and efficient auto repair shop in Arizona. My fiancé unfortunately chose another local shop that offered many false promise as well as almost destroyed my beautiful Mustang GT. It is a 2016 and we did not have any issues with it over the years. However in August 2022 it overheated from a radiator issue. It was so bad the head gasket became damaged. The other shop simply did not know how to properly repair a mustang. I was devastated and then did my research for competent shop. I then reached out to this shop and Pete answered my call after hours. Pete listened to my concerns and was very knowlegable, kind, and reassuring. He was able to get us in quickly and they were able to fix the car within a week. I had already been paying for a rental car for 2.5 months. I will always be a customer and refer people to this shop. I also have a review on the Nextdoor app & google as well. Thank you to Pete and the team at Car Guy Shop for helping us out of a very difficult situation efficiently & quickly. read more

I took my Mustang GT to Gene and Pete, and they completely saved the day. I took my Mustang elsewhere inititially to a shop (rhymes with Appa on McQueen ave), and they completely screwed me over. Long story short, I had a blown head gasket and decided it was time to make some upgrades. Ordered a set of cams and some intake parts to replace stock; two months and 13 cam timing codes later, I had the car towed from that shop to Car Guys new location. The immediately dug into the engine and found exactly where the other shop went wrong. They took the time to walk me through and explain everything that was diagnosed through their troubleshooting process. They retimed my cams and the engine runs like a top. I was thoroughly pleased and will never trust anyone else with my car. read more

The technician fixed our oil leak plus replaced parts affected by the oil leak in a timely fashion. At a reasonable price.

Cool little mom and pop shop in Chandler! I bought a Groupon for an alignment here and my car drives like a dream now. The service was both friendly and professional. They let me drop my car off early and called me when it was finished When I went to check in to the business I noticed they had 4.5 stars on Yelp and really only 1 bad review, which appears to have been written by a guy who doesn't know how alignments work. Even the larger chains charge extra for camber adjustments...it's a known thing. I'll definitely be back to this place...I like to support the small businesses over the larger chains. Plus, the prices are reasonable. I believe the normal price for an alignment is $79.99. The Toyota dealer wanted $99.99 and most places are $89.99. read more

Most friendly and helpful mechanic in the valley. Will not try to upsell or swindle you. Isn't afraid to help you out and save you some money. Could not recommend more (I never leave reviews) read more

I just wanted to give an update since I have now been to Car Guy several times since my first oil change visits. The customer service is great! On one visit, my 2009 VW Routan (yes, I drive a minivan) started smoking at a light on a Sunday just an hour before Car Guy was closing. I called them up and they said they would come back to accept my vehicle if they were closed when the tow truck arrived. The owner was very accommodating and let me keep my vehicle locked up behind her gate (guarded by a big dog and behind barbed wire because, yes, this is a sketchy part of town). After looking at my vehicle, they told me it was a hose that needed replacing. Unfortunately, the entire radiator had to be removed to access it and replace it. However, they are really fair there with their labor prices. So, it was not as bad a repair bill as it would have been elsewhere. I have also had my door locks fixed after the driver's side door lock stopped working. My parents even got a much lower quote on an a/c issue for their truck. Sure, this place is not in the suburbs. Does it really need to be? As long as my car gets fixed without being raked over the coals, I am fine with it. As far as the recent 1 star reviews, I recommend reading the owner responses to those. It seems in both cases the reviews are not a fair reflection of the actual work and service provided by the business. I drive to Car Guy all the way from Ahwatukee Foothills to get my car repaired and for all my oil changes. Doesn't that say something about this business? It should! Go there with confidence (unless you are a wuss who cannot handle being in Chandler in the daylight). read more

Car Guy - New paint in the children's waiting area - Auto Repair Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Stopped in today for an oil change.... was pleasantly surprised at the Waiting Area....nice and dim, since there was enough window light, comfortable leather couch and a nice sized tv. A LOT different than the usual flourescent lights, cheap chairs and 9 inch tv that most shops offer.... The two chaps I encountered....one was the owner...were both really friendly and chatty! Mom is also an employee...can see where he got his kindness and gift of gab from! I very much appreciated that he told me he printed up a list of Sugested Fluid Flushes....THEN just simply handed it to me!! Didn't try to sell it to me or pressure me to opt for it!! Chatted with me about the security of their shop, should I need to leave my vehicle for service. It was refreshing to encounter such kind, honest service. I will definitely be back...should the unfortunate need arise for service, Car Guy will most definitely be my first thought for the shop! Thank you, Car Guy!! read more

Car Guy - Waiting Area - Auto Repair Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Great work and attention to detail. My Mustang had an engine failure and the work done here turned an ordinarily bad situation into a positive. Now my Mustang absolutely rips. Not to mention the careful placement of every hose and wire which I can't imagine as a simple task. Looks better than factory under the hood. read more

Car Guy - 2011 Mustang GT - Auto Repair Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I just picked up my 14 Mustang GT from Gene at Car Guy LLC. They installed a set of longtube headers and H-pipe that i failed to do in my garage on jack stands. When i called Gene i let him know that in the last 20 years of working on and building my own cars, that this was the first time i was paying a shop to touch my car and that i was very nervous about the whole situation. Gene assured me that my car and parts were in good hands, and that he really appreciates the opportunity. I dropped the car off on monday night. Gene and his team worked on the car all day tuesday, wed morning they called me to let me know it was ready to be picked up. Gene had excellent communication the entire time. When i arrived to pickup the car Gene was nice enough to let me see under the car and inspect the work performed. I was very happy to see that they put in the same attention to detail i would have put in if i were able to do this job myself. No stripped bolts, no misaligned flanges, all wiring was nice and neat. Everything looked as it did from the factory except for the addition of the headers and H pipe. They even performed an idle relearn and a heat cycle before i arrived to ensure everything was perfect. I would not hesitate to refer Car Guy LLC to anyone, and i plan to use them again in the future for my flywheel/clutch install. Very friendly group of people over there that make you feel like you are surrounded by friends. read more

Car Guy - Long tube headers and h pipe installed by car guy. Perfect job! - Auto Repair Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I got a groupon to come here and get an alignment. I came in one day for an appointment and after a while they come and tell me my bushings are too worn for the alignment, that's annoying but fine. I replaced the bushings and came back for another appointment and they told me my car was too low for the alignment machine. I understand because my car is lowered it may not fit on the lift/machine, but how could they not know this the first time? So basically I paid around $60 for new bushings and couldn't get a refund for the $40 Groupon for the alignment I never Edit: was kind of heated, but I realize this is more groupons fault and I apologize for leaving a bad review without good reasoning read more

I was coming in from California when I heard my car start making a loud rattling sound. It sounded so bad and knew I couldn't make it any further with my car and decided to call Car Guy. They helped me right away and fit me into their tight schedule, knew what the issue was immediately, fixed it within in a couple hours and for an amazing price. Their service is amazing and are truly kind people:) read more

(Shop on the corner) Amazing family owned business! More people should know about them. They immediately make you feel at home when you come in and do their work with excellence. They even checked previous work just to make sure I was good. read more

I used to live in AZ and just had a friend move to Chandler. They asked if I knew a mechanic and I realized I never wrote a review for my favorite mechanics! So let me tell you the story of the lemon and the awesome mechanics. In 2009 I had been without a car for about a year and a client of my dad's offered me a good deal on his hyundai accent. Well I got a good price because the car was total crap. I immediately had problems with it. Being a girl that knows nothing about cars, and always worried about getting hosed by shady mechanics that see me as an easy target, I found a place close to my work and brought my boss with me. First of all everyone I talked to was super nice. Nobody talked down to me for being a clueless girl. They addressed me instead of my friend and when I asked what I assumed to be stupid questions they happily answered me. Upon looking at my car we quickly realized what a mistake I made. The car was a mess. Most of my motor mounts were broken, parts were held in with baling wire and in some places duct tape, the ac compressor was crap, and instead of replacing things the owner just macguyvered his own makeshift parts with things meant for other vehicles. The guys at the shop showed me the problems but told me most didn't need to be immediately fixed. Just the ac compressor. Well since the bone head who owned the car before had made his own parts to make a part fit that wasn't made for my car it looked like I had to replace multiple things. Great. But the guys said they could try and fabricate the replacement part and save me from having to do it all. I said yes! They didn't charge me much for labor and they didn't have my car for long. And it worked! For a bit. Actually only a few days. But when I called they had me bring it back and fixed it for free! If only it were that simple. I continued to have problems with my super lemon (through no fault of theirs) and they continued to help me. They were pretty much on my speed dial. Eventually I decided to cut my loses and get a different car. When I told them not to worry about it and that it was dead to me they agreed it was probably the best decision and suggested I get a Honda next since they are cheaper to repair. (and I did!) a few days later I got a call from one of the employees offering to buy my car for parts and asked how much I wanted for it. Thinking it wasn't worth anything I threw out a low number. He said it was worth more than that and offered me more! I conferred with my dad and we agreed. In the end they had only charged me a couple hundred dollars for all the work they did. Labor alone should have been more but they were great! And after selling my car that piece of crap didn't really cost me anything but a little dignity and time. I know I spoke with Gene a lot and I wish I could remember the other gentleman but they were all great! If I was still living in Arizona I would definitely go there still. I love that it is a family affair and I love being able to support a great small business! read more

Overall I'm pretty impressed with the service from car guy. As with many relationships and as I'll constantly state communication can be the downfall in any relationship. I feel like my encounter with car guy involved some rather peculiar situations, but nothing that wasn't managed. Car guy was the third mechanic taking my recently purchased aged BMW to which by this point made me feel hopeless. After dealing with multiple other horrible mechanic businessman, I felt safe trusting car guy with my situation. I feel like their prices are fair, but when you're looking at major overhaul of the vehicle nothing seems fair. They were willing to make my situation agreejus and simple despite that lengthy time it Took for repair. I feel like every team member that I spoke with was honest and forthcoming and truly was going to do their best given the situation at hand. Their knowledge is expansive. My only criticism would be on timeliness and communication. I feel lake there needed to be better communication on my expectation versus results given, possibly a flaw on both ends. I'll be back and better prepared, no flaw that I can't talk partial ownership for. These guys are worth a try trusting. read more

I found this place on Yelp & I'm so glad I did. The service they gave my car was top notch. They are honest, professional & reasonably priced. I have had bad experiences in other places so I was very careful in reading all the reviews. I could see why they received such good ratings. They certainly earned their five stars with me. My car is driving like a new one. I highly Recommend this shop to everyone. read more

Car Guy - Good thing they noticed my filters had holes in it.. As if an animal was chewing on it..and it was extremely dirty.. Gross - Auto Repair Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

The "Car Guy" is GREAT! And in my opinion one of the best mechanic shops in Chandler. I have taken my older BMW here several times this year to get work done. They diagnosed and fixed a problem which another place in Chandler could not. Also, some work that I needed to get done for a while now I am having the "Car Guy" work on because I know they have been honest with me! Wes, the store manager, is easy to work with and I can see that he really respects his customers and provides them guidance on what work really needs to be done instead of trying to push the customer to do things that don't need to be done. I am really happy with the work done so far that I am also taking my Nissan Rogue there as well for any maintenance that needs to be done instead of going to the dealer. Thanks "Car Guy"! read more

Ive taken 2 of my vehicles to them for oil changes, after that, they BOTH started leaking oil! And 1 developed (very quickly) a leaky power steering hose, I had a shop I went to for years & never had any problems like this, but once i moved to chandler I had to find someone else, I will definitely keep looking! the owner, when i tried to voice my concerns said "Im already in a bd mood today I dont need this" read more

Car Guy of Chandler I wanted to take a few minutes to give a shout-out to Car Guy of Chandler. I recently had my 2015 Mustang in for a major overhaul. This car is my baby and I don't allow just anyone to work on it. This was a new experience working with Gene at CG of Chandler. I just wanted to say that I am so glad I chose them. I have been to a lot of shops in the valley but this one truly treats you like a friend and it is family-owned and operated which is probably why it runs so well. The communication was awesome and I was updated on my car often. Gene is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous about his work which was exactly what I was looking for. I have found my new mechanic and will not go anywhere but here from now on. The reviews are what led me to this shop so I wanted to make sure everyone knew another customer had an overall great experience there. read more

This place is as good as it gets for anyone that needs anything done to their car. it's a family owned operation and everyone is honest, fair and willing to go the extra mile to explain the situation. The owner was pleasant to deal with and called me every time something deviated from the plan to make sure it was okay. Having a somewhat high-performance, custom like car, I am always very careful on who I take my cars to work with. With this place - I will see them every time something comes up and I'll know it'll be take care of correctly. Everyone was even eager to show me all the cool stuff they were working on or the unique tools / abilities most standard shops do not have. I can not recommend these guys enough! read more

My wife found this shop in Chandler and we've gone back several times. We needed a brake job on our Ford Expedition. Brake masters told us we need new pads and rotors on all four wheels. We took it to Car Guys and they put new pads on the front and turned the rotors. They didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need. I trust them and so does my wife. We also bought an oil change punch card from them. It is so much cheaper than places like Jiffy Lube. read more

This place is totally honest with you. It's a family owned business, and all the family actually works there. If you're getting a better deal somewhere else, chances are there's a catch and they'll tell you what it is if you give them enough detail. They don't mark their prices way skyhigh, and they don't give you such a deal that you're questioning what parts or labor they skimped on to make it so cheap. They are straightforward and hard working family guys. (And this mom) lol. They do great work and warranty it. read more

As someone who doesn't like to spend money on stuff I can do myself, these guys went above and beyond. I normally don't take my car into a shop unless I have no other option because I just don't trust most shops and they are looking out of themselves not the customer. Pete and his whole team genuinely cared about customer satisfaction and just was such a pleasure to work with. They have my business for as long as I'm able to bring a car around. This is the shop to go to without a doubt. Pete could have charged me 900+ to put a new rack in like I asked him to but instead he took the time to look at what was really wrong (I DIYed some inner tie rods and didn't secure them tightly enough) and just charged me for a simple inspection! It's not everyday that you go in an auto shop and come out paying 10x less than what your expecting. Don't waste your money anywhere else! take your car into car guy he will take care of you. read more

I found this place through Groupon, I should have known what I was getting into when I saw the price, $40 for an alignment seemed to good to be true, and it was. I went to this shop near the end of February 2017. I wanted to get an alignment because I had noticed a pulsating grinding noise that increased in frequency with speed. After an hour or so, they finished the "alignment". They showed me a sheet of paper with the a list of the alignment values and the ideal value range, I noticed that the camber values were way off. I asked them why they didn't align those values for me, they said they didn't have the tools or supplies to align the camber. I asked them if they could order the camber kit they needed and just finish the alignment then. They said they could order the part, which they wanted around $100 for, but I would have to pay for another alignment in addition to the overpriced part despite having already payed for their "alignment" this time. So they told me if I actually wanted a real alignment, I would be charged around $180, on top of what I had already payed them. I should note that, they didn't tell me any of this until after I had payed them. Seeing that they didn't actually finish their "alignment", I asked if I could have a refund or at least a prorated price as they left a lot of the alignment unfinished. They said that it wasn't their fault that they didn't have the supplies or equipment to fully "align" my wheels and continually claimed that they, "aligned it to the best of the shops abilities". I'm a college student so, I don't really have the money to pay for the same service multiple times so, I didnt. Moral of the story, any future buyers of wheel alignment packages from this shop should no that, they arent paying for an alignment, they are paying for an "alignment to the best of their abilities" which apparently increases depending on the amount of money they get from you. ------UPDATE------ Today, April 29, 2017, I got my oil changed at Midas. The technicians said they couldn't rotate my tires because there was uneven wear on the front left tire due to bad alignment. I told them I just had the tires aligned less than to months ago. They said who ever did the alignment did a horrible job, and I'll probably have to get new tires soon because of it. Like I said earlier, I'm a college student so, I can't really afford to be paying for alignments multiple times in a row or buying new tires because of a improper alignment. read more

Mike Jones was absolutely amazing. I just moved to Chandler in June and couldn't find a good mechanic for my 2008 BMW 335i. I tried a dealership and another shop only to feel robbed! Mike Jones was fantastic. I highly recommend "the car guy" my new forever mechanic!! Thank you!!! read more

After seeing great reviews and seeing a mustang on the car lift I decided to give car guy a try. I was having trouble with my mustang and had an idea of what the problem was. I wish I could remember the guys name but he's one of the owners I believe. He was a mustang guy and was very knowledgeable. There was a diagnostics charge of 90 dollars plus whatever it was to fix the issue. I didn't like the charge but I went with it. He came back within 40 min and adjusted the tps timing and fix the issue. To my surprise he said it would only be the diagnostic fee. He showed me around the shop and I left happy. I would definitively recommend this guy for one major reason he was honest. read more

I am always VERY hesitant on trusting repair shops and usually just take my cars to the dealership but I gave these guys a chance and they did not disappoint! From the time I dropped off my vehicle to the time I picked it up, every person, including the owner was extremely nice and trustworthy. My radiator and a few other hoses needed to be replaced and they fixed it all within the next day. I was truly shocked at the quick and thorough service I was given. They even had me bring my vehicle back the following week to ensure their wasn't additional issues. Thank you Car Guy for getting my family back in the road! read more

Over the past 6 years or so, The Car Guy has become my "go-to" place for honest, dependable auto repairs. They charge a fair labor rate and are always sure to explain what they find, what the options are, what the cost will be, how long it will take, etc. Gene takes great care to treat everybody with respect and courtesy, even when I have seen a customer get upset (actually, they seemed pretty upset as soon as they came in the door). They also do a lot of custom fabrication work there. When my wife's car was in last week for some diagnosis and repair, Wes called me to say he did not think they would be finished by closing time, and wanted to know if that would cause a problem. In fact, it would have caused a significant problem, so he cheerfully said he would complete the repair before he went home, and leave the car out front for us to pick up. Just as simple as that; no having to bargain with him or anything. When an employee is willing to give up family/personal time on a Saturday evening just to satisfy a customer, that says a lot about how employees are treated. That then results in customers being treated well, too. read more

Tried Car Guy Auto repair today. I found a Groupon coupon for a half priced alignment for my car. Super friendly staff (family owned), honest, and genuine and no attitudes. They didn't try to upsell me on anything. They pointed out a few things that will need to be done down the road, but not necessary at this time. Very fast completing the alignment. They have a full machine shop and engine shop. Pretty much anything you need done, they can do. Fair prices on most maintenance. read more

What a great group of guys. I brought my Dodge Charger here to be repaired after it started to overheat. They fixed the issues in good time and didn't over charge me. Thanks Guys! read more

Thanks to Gene and his family they really helped my parents out of bind. My mom took her car into Jiffy Lube and they of course told her that the serpentine belt needed to be replaced. Well, somehow they managed to break to ground wire when replacing the belt leaving my mom without A/C on a 96 degree day. So, off to the Nissan dealer they went to get it fixed. Nissan quoted them $1100 and explained the compressor needed to be replaced, even though you could clearly see the broken ground wire. I told my parents to lave the Nissan dealer and go see the Car Guy for an honest answer. They were not open on the weekend but Gene still answered the phone and provided them some piece of mind (on his day off), letting them know he would get it fixed when they opened on Monday. Long story short the Car Guy fixed my mom's car by 2pm and saved my parents $800. Thank you Gene .. having someone honest in the car repair business is truly a godsend! read more

I love the car guy. I have taken my car here a couple of times and always gotten great service. The other day they had trouble finding the part so I thought I'd be out of a car another day. Nope, someone stayed late and it was ready first thing. Great people and great work!! read more

I don't know where to start, the whole team is great! I got my clutch & flywheel job done here at Car Guy and even before picking out which clutch kit I wanted to put in my 04 350z I spoke with Wes who took time out of his day to go on the same website as me to recommend and give me information on which clutch kit would be best for me. I ended up going with the JWT kit and I also did some other little things and price came out to exactly what they quoted me with no BS. Wes was very helpful and answered all the questions I had about my car and they did a good job! I will definitely be coming here again for all my services. read more

I used a Groupon to get an alignment done. I'm not saying that they are dishonest, friendly people, but my car still feels as though it drives the same and pulls to the right after the alignment. They said that they could not adjust my rear tires so they only did the front, but I can't feel a difference. read more

I did some mods to my car that required a custom EGR pipe to be created, and I only had a few days to get the car through emissions. Gene went through all the different options with me before starting any work. He was able to get the custom EGR pipe created and installed the same day, and even contacted me the next day to make sure I was able to pass emissions. Excellent customer service. I'll be back for more work. read more

Friendly honest neighborhood auto shop. My past few oil changes at Jiffy and sears I was told I had an oil leak. They wanted to charge me $300 plus to repair it. I declined so I could do my own troubleshooting. When I asked the Car Guy for a quote, not only did he put it on the lift he invited me in the back so we could take a look at it. At first glance he said no everything looks fine. He did point out that my struts needed to be replaced but it wasn't anything pressing. Honesty, integrity, and not just a salesman. Everything I want to keep me safe on the road. read more

The guys at Car Guy are awesome! I take my car to them for all my maintenance needs. My family uses their services as well. They are honest and always fairly priced. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped at Car Guy to get a tow dolly for our road trip to Texas. The very first thing I noticed was how good the inside of the shop smelled, and how clean it was too. It feels like a home away from home. The service provided to us was exceptional. I love that it's a family owned business and SUPER military friendly! I wish I had a car shop like this one near my home. read more

Had another shop leave a piece out of my front end after the Last alignment. It killed a $500 set of tires. The guys at Car Guys fixed everything and had to do 3 alignments, mounted an balanced the new tires and replaced the parts that were missing for less than the first shop charged for the bad alignment. You will be treated like family here! read more

I've been taking my vehicles here for years! Their prices are fair, and they are very informative. The waiting room is nice, clean, and comfy! I love supporting local businesses. These guys rock! read more

These guys are amazing! Family owned which is amazing! Love the doggies sweethearts! When i got here i realized my wife had taken my card and money and they just ran my card the next day. Very few places are willing to do something like this anymore. I was very grateful being this is my only day of so this was very helpful. I will be making this my only shop from now on. Thank you folks! read more
