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.

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.

Brandon is honest, fair and transparent with his charges. Within a few short days he replaced the headlights and replaced oil filter and oil.

He took his vehicle and picked up the part came back quickly and changed out plug and reaped all wires. He put everything back together like new. Light now works like a charm! Brandon was an hard working honest guy. He gave me a swell deal. I would definitely recommend Brandon, a friendly likeable guy who does a great job and is not out to rip you off. So next time your wondering where to take you Auto for repair at a fair price!! Have Brandon come see you.

I have been loyal to a repair shop in my old neighborhood for the last 23 years, but we moved to…read moreSun City West and that shop is 25 miles away, very inconvenient. So, looking for a new one I've tried a few automotive repair shops around town, but have not been impressed. This is a first time visit for me at Gembas. I was a bit leery of taking my old pride and joy (that is like new) to this shop as the shop recently reopened under new ownership. I met with Angel. My A/C was blowing hot. I did try to recharge the system myself without success. That's about as far as I'm qualified and equipped to go. Gembas replaced a couple of leaky Schrader valves, purged and recharged the system and even gave me a veteran's discount. I was thrilled to pay the $293. This is an honest shop. Angel didn't try to upsell or snow me. He's very professional and knowedgeable and his attitude is positive. Gembas will be servicing both of our cars. Highly recommended.

We took our truck to Gemba Automotive after an oil change at the Ford Dealership where they said…read morethat numerous things "failed inspection" and wanted well over $3,000 to fix everything. One item on their list was something the previous servicing Ford Dealership never called out. Gemba wanted less than half of what Peoria Ford did for an alignment. It's easy to see why the Ford CEO tried to get the Trump administration to end "right to repair." While my wife was in their lobby, she heard employees talking about how to save some money for another customer. That told us that we need to think seriously about having them do the recommended work. They also did not talk down to my wife like a lot of mechanics seem to like to do. We obtained an estimate and found out that out of everything that Peoria Ford said "failed inspection," one was not recommended for another 40K miles. Additionally, Gemba wanted considerably less than Ford. Because of their employees and pricing, we were sold on Gemba. We had them take care of all remaining items. Gemba will be doing the work on our 2019 and 2025 vehicles from here on out.

I'd never been to this shop before, but the owner Ken greeted me as I pulled up, asked a few questions, examined the car, and quickly identified the likely problem. He knew it would be one of two issues and roughly how much each repair would cost. Based on my plans for the car, he explained I didn't need to waste a couple hundred dollars just to hear what we already knew. What a stand-up business owner! Prioritizing customer clarity & experience over squeezing every dollar from them. Trustworthy auto shops are hard to find, so I'll definitely be returning because of that.

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.
