Max Automotive - The new shop

Max Automotive

(220 reviews)

I have only favorable things to say about Max Automotive. I bought a 21-year-old Honda Civic to…read moreshuttle my dogs between my house and my mother's house. I got what I paid for and it needed some TLC mechanically. When I took it to Honda to get an oil change, they advised me that it had an oil leak and needed an inspection to the tune of $250 to diagnose the problem. I reached out to a friend who is car-savvy for advice on where to take it, and he pointed me here. The scheduler was super friendly and efficient and got me on the books a few days after my call. The vibe was completely different than the dealership, as I felt like the folks at Max Automotive genuinely cared about getting me taken care of and figuring what the issue was with the vehicle. They also understood that at over 20 years old and nearly 200,000 miles, I wasn't going to perform any heroics for this car. We came up with a good plan to keep the car running for as long as possible with as minimal maintenance as possible. I look forward to working with the team here for maintenance of my new old car.

Very disappointing experience with Max Automotive…read more I brought my vehicle (2016 V6 Mustang) to Max Automotive on 9/30/26 to have the thermostat replaced. When I arrived, I was told there was coolant everywhere, that it would need to be cleaned up, and that they would need to take a look at it. I simply asked how much that additional work would cost. Instead of giving me an estimate or even offering to inspect the vehicle, I was told, "We're not going to do this. There are many automotive places you can take it to." That response was extremely disappointing and a complete waste of my time. I brought my vehicle to an automotive repair shop expecting them to diagnose the issue, explain what needed to be done, and provide an estimate so I could make an informed decision. If Max Automotive wasn't willing or able to handle the situation, they could have simply said so when I initially scheduled the appointment rather than having me bring the vehicle in. I understand that not every repair shop can or wants to take on every job, but dismissing a customer after they have made the trip to the shop and refusing to even provide an estimate is poor customer service. I would not recommend Max Automotive based on this experience.

I can't recommend this place anymore. A few months ago we had my Ford escape "fixed" because it had…read morean oil leak. A few days later it started leaking again. We brought it back and took more PTO. They said luckily it was under warranty. Well, it better be because that's the same part you tried to fix two days ago. And this day it's still leaks but I'm not trusting them to touch it a third time. 8/7/26 My husband's Chevy Trax had the coolant system "fixed" and we got it Friday at 5pm. It's Sunday 8/9/26 at 8:30am and our car overheats in a drive thru and we had to keep turning it off. Luckily we were a few miles from home and let it cool so we could drive instead of walking 2 miles in 100+ temps. Christian Brothers put us in a really dangerous position. When we had to get the Ford fixed for the second time that was a red flag that we should've listened to. But because we needed our overheated Trax towed, it was easiest to go with Christian Brothers. Let me tell you... Do you not take the easy way out because of the "free tow" because after $1300 our car is still not fixed and now we have to take PTO and rearrange our schedules all over again. I don't think it's a free tow anyhow; I'm sure it's added to the cost of the car services.

Let me start by saying I started my conversation with the General Manager Dakota Blanco by saying…read moreplease give me the same service you would give your Mother and he did just that! Dakota did not try to upsell me on anything, gave me a coupon off without asking, explained everything that was done in detail, advised my filters were still in great shape (usually I have felt pushed to replace even when not needed at other places) I was given a free car wash coupon good for up to a year, my service was completed so fast and once I paid I turned and my car was backed up waiting with the car door open. I paid and left with these flowers. This was above and beyond in my book and I will be a repeat customer in the future! Thank you Dakota for exceptional customer service, appreciate you! Wendy

The first time I took my car in for an oil change, I went back a few days later my vehicle was…read moreleaking oil. The tech told me he put a better oil plug gasket thing on, and it fixed the issue. I took my jeep again, told the about my last experience and request they put the better gasket with the plug, they seemed to brush me off. I told them of my planned road trip and I didn't want to have to come back because it's leaking. Well, guess what? I noticed fresh oil in my driveway AGAIN. I had to take my vehicle back again to have the address the plug. Two visits, two issues with leaky oil. Not good value when you have two go twice for one oil change. I will not go back.

I took my fully customized 38 Ford steel body to Gemba Automotive at 13315 W. Bell Road with a…read moresqueek and a leak in the power steering. My car had 4308 miles on it when I bought it 5 years ago. It now has 9400 miles on the 350 Chevy engine. I was charged $2960. Angel at the front desk said I had an oil leak, a transmission leak, and a power steering leak. I check levels often. I haven't had to add a drop of either oil or transmission fluid since I've owned it. They said the gaskets were over tightened causing the leaks. THEY DON'T LEAK! They did work that didn't need to be done. They also replaced the rack and pinion assembly. The squeak only happened when turning right up a grade and only for a second. $2960 and I still had a squeak and a leak. THEY FIXED NOTHING. When I took it back they said the manifold gasket and the distributor gasket were leaking now. How did this happen? I wonder? For another $2400 they said they would fix these problems and others that suddenly came up. I said take it down and I got out of Gemba Automotive. I would have given them Zero stars but it wasn't an option. Stay away from Gemba Automotive at 13315 W. Bell Road at all costs. $2960 and I still have a squeak and a leak. They fixed nothing.

I brought my 2019 Yukon XL to Gemba Automotive expecting a clear and honest diagnosis, but left…read moreconcerned about the approach. I went in for a transmission that was shifting hard in automatic mode. After what was described as a diagnostic, Justin immediately recommended a full transmission replacement--without walking through other common, less expensive causes like control module or valve body issues. What's frustrating is that Gemba's own messaging says they focus on root-cause diagnostics, transparency, and avoiding unnecessary upsells: "We fix the root cause... No pressure. Just the truth." That wasn't my experience. I wasn't shown clear proof or given alternative options before being told I needed one of the most expensive repairs possible. After a routine oil change, I was also suddenly told I now need an oil pressure switch, which raises additional concerns - are they manufacturing problems to drive ticket value? I've since heard similar experiences from others being told they need full transmissions as well, which makes this feel less like a case-by-case diagnosis. I recommend getting a second opinion before committing to major repairs here.

Mark and Mike are excellent, firstly and simply because of "who they are," individuals who truly care, sincerely so, about the person coming through their door. Additionally and importantly, their in-depth knowledge and understanding of how to turn a car problem, or potential problem, into a highly positive outcome elevates this business to the top tier of all automotive businesses today. If you are like my wife and I were prior to learning about AVCC, which was very concerned about finding someone both trustworthy and highly competent, you absolutely owe it to yourselves to contact Mark or Mike, or stop by to introduce yourself and speak with them about your vehicle. You will be very glad you did.

In addition to doing her regular oil changes and routine maintenance, it recently needed an oil pan gasket and some suspension work (it's a Jeep, of course it did!) Matt and the crew All Valley are always incredibly pleasant and helpful and they go out of their way to make sure that she's taken care of. Their service quality is outstanding, they deliver exactly what they promise and their prices are great. Highest recommendation to all of the people at All Valley Car Care - Surprise!
