I took my vehicle to check on engine and ABS lights. Unfortunately, it required some replacement parts. However, the dealership delivered the wrong parts to the shop. It took a while to repair the vehicle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, Armen was great, honest, and informative of the repair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend this shop. read more

I've been taking my German import to Doctor Automotive for years, and I can honestly say it's rare to find a mechanic with this level of honesty, integrity, and fair pricing. Armen consistently does excellent work, takes the time to explain issues clearly, and never pushes unnecessary repairs. I trust him completely with my vehicle, which says a lot -- especially for import cars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've recommended Doctor Automotive to many friends over the years, and every single one has had a great experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for a mechanic you can truly rely on, this is the place. He is the best. read more

I went out to dinner and was horrified to notice that my passenger side headlight was out as the valet pulled up my car. The next day, I went to the dealership for an estimate. I waited for almost 2 hours, fearing the worst. They found another item to repair for $500, but the one headlight was nearly $1,000, plus my rear windshield wiper needed replaced, all of which totaled $1,600. Having recently replaced my catalytic converter for more than the car is worth, I started questioning how much more money to continue dumping into my 2013 vehicle. I briefly looked for a replacement vehicle online. Exhausted and wanting to make a decision, I called the dealership and happened to get their voicemail. On a whim, I checked Yelp to search for local auto repair shops with high ratings. I stumbled on Doctor Automotive with a 4.9 rating, just over a mile away from my house. All of the reviews mentioned Armen, so even though it was 4:15 PM on Friday afternoon, I drove there hoping to meet Armen. Luckily, Armen was there and happy to help me. He replaced my rear windshield wiper on the spot and booked my appointment for the following Monday. I dropped off my car on Monday at 7:30 AM and my car was finished by 12:30 PM. Armen gave me a way better deal than the dealership, and replaced both headlights. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perhaps the best part, Armen helped me to remember how much I love my car.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm so grateful to have met Armen and now have a local auto repair shop that I can trust. I would highly recommend Doctor Automotive to anyone. Armen is an amazing guy! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]When I called and spoke with Armen, owner , he was very honest and very nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . They were able to drive me home and pick me up! I am happy I found Dr Automotive and so glad they are close by. The prices for maintenance tune up was right for what I was looking for. Thanks again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was very accommodating and Armed was super nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They checked my car thoroughly and fixed my problem. I had to have my vehicle towed and they were ready for it. Thank you very much. read more

I have a 2013 Jeep grand Cherokee overland. I was recommended to Armen from a friend. Service 4wheel drive light came on and was running horribly. I'm glad I took it here. He was relentless in figuring it out and solving the issue. Which wasn't an easy task. He earned my trust and future business. Thanks for the excellent service! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Armin and his team are fantastic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was serviced quickly on my engine and the price was more than fair. He really cares about his work. I highly recommend his service read more

Great service! We're very happy with the product. Would definitely recommend. Our AC was blowing hot air and the problem was diagnosed quickly read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Armen has all the marks of a good mechanic. He was honest, fair, patient, and communicative.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He really worked to figure out what was wrong with my car. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate him and his team for all their hard work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you!! read more

Armen and his guys worked on my 2005 Grand Cherokee Jeep. Fixed what I ask and found a few other things that needed repair. Outstanding Job and sent pictures of repair work and part replacement. Honest, reasonable prices. I have had this Jeep for 20 years now and have been in AZ for over 20 years. Have taken it to other auto repair shops, but by far this is the best one out of all of them. The jeep feels like it is almost brand new. Great Job. read more

Armen is a great guy. I brought in my Jaguar because it was leaking coolant and they worked on it in just a few days. It turns out there was more to the problem and Armen was kind enough to handle the rest. This place definitely has integrity and you know how hard those are to find in the automotive scene unfortunately. Thank you so much Armen and team! read more

My husband's vehicle needed a few repairs and this shop was great to work with. Fair, honest and quality work. I highly recommend.

Went out and my car wouldn't start. I called Doctor Automotive and within a day he had it up and running good as new. There was no hidden agenda, no BS, just great honest work for a great price. We were able to get other services done while we were in as well. I can't speak highly enough of Armen and the work he does. If you're looking for a honest mechanic Armen is your guy!!! read more

I've been to Doctor Automotive twice now and both times have been stellar. If you're like me, and maybe a little old school, you associate dealing with mechanics as being wary about being scammed. I'll tell you I'm happy to say I didn't have close to that experience here. Actually the opposite. I was hugely surprised how affordable they are. My first issue was when my blinkers went out and I recently took my car (2002 Nissan Xterra) in when my brake lights came on and stayed on. No issues at all afterwards. Owner doesn't try to hassle you into getting other services, or try to negotiate inflated prices. They do the work for very affordable rates. Super impressed on both occasions and would go there again in a heartbeat. read more

Had to do another review for Armen and Dr. Automotive. Finally made it to the new shop on Cave Creek at 13623 N Cave Creek Rd Phoenix, AZ 85022. What a great new location and complete with a waiting room. Really liking the paint scheme for some reason. As usual, Armen and his staff are super friendly and I had my car serviced for the 90,000 thing and got the car back in the same day. We were able to drop the night before which worked out perfect for us. Reasonable prices and friendly service, you can't really beat Dr. Automotive for auto repair. One recommendation is to look for the sign when driving on Cave Creek, it comes up quickly! read more

See all

You want a great mechanic? You want an honest mechanic? Do you really want a place.to go that feels like you are in good hands? Armen and his crew are that place at Dr. Automotive. I've been going to Armen like 4-5 yrs now, since he was at his original shop on 7th street and he treats you like family. Another big deal to me? I wouldn't hesitate to have my wife go by herself there to have any repairs done to our cars. I travel, so things come up. Armen and his crew always treat my wife with respect, honesty and care. They know she is driving precious cargo (lol... the kids!) and make sure she knows about what needs to be done and are considerate of our time. I recommend all my family, friends and coworkers to Dr. Automotive, so don't hesitate to bring your cars there. Their new shop is bigger and spotless. Very professionally run. His prices are fair and he knows his stuff. Let me put it simply, I wouldn't trust my wife's car that she and my kids ride in to anyone else. They always give a great, accurate diagnostic and estimate of any repairs and follow through with the job 100%. Special shout out to Mario, who is Armen's lead mechanic and a great guy. He always makes sure your work is done right and follows through. read more

Dr. Automotive is the most reliable and honest mechanic in Phoenix. He worked on my husbands Tahoe. They replaced the front and rear brakes. He also serviced the rear differential. The price was awesome!! Found our new place to go. read more

WOW! Never have I experienced such great customer service at an auto shop. I do not exaggerate when I say that Arman was beyond fair and helpful today when I took my Camry into Doc Auto. I was getting my radiator replaced and he looked at an oil leak I have as well. He gave me clear, affordable options, and I could tell from the moment I started speaking to him he has a great deal of character and integrity. Definitely the place to go for anything related to your vehicle! read more

These guys are great! One of the very few places you can get an honest quote from. He's not trying to make extra money on you. He just does what's supposed to be done, and tells you exactly what you need to know. read more

it was well over a year ago when I went to see this guy. He's an AMAZING mechanic. HONEST, PROMPT, AFFORDABLE and he even helped my cousin out when we had to jump start her car to go pick up mine and she couldn't get a into her battery casing because of the tools needed. He swapped the battery on the spot as we bought one on the way. Then he refused to let me pay him for it! The guy is amazing. A few days later some out of towners were stranded at my apartment complex just down the road, I recommended Arman and gave them his card, I guess he helped them out as they were gone the next day :) If I didn't have a dealership coverage with my new car I would be driving across the valley to go see him whenever there was a problem!! read more

I come here for all my automotive needs. Armen doesn't BS and will tell you what is needed. Always gets the work done in a timely manner and he's very personable! He will take care of you! I recommend Doctor Automotive to anyone looking for an HONEST mechanic! read more

Came here today to get an oil chance while I ate lunch over at El Bravo across the street. These guys were great and the owner Armen was super nice. It is a smaller garage with less overhead so they don't overcharge you for BS. It is hidden behind the self serve car wash. This place is very reasonable and trustworthy since I also told him about my suspension making noise and it turned out that my hub cap (yes I am ghetto) was loose and making the noise instead. He didn't even charge me for the diagnosis and now I am a customer for life! Thanks guys read more

Doctor Automotive - Storefront - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Doctor Automotive is the most reliable, honest, fair mechanic I've ever experienced. Armen is extremely friendly and helpful and takes good care of my car no matter what it needs. Car problems can be stressful, but I always feel confident knowing my car is with them. I also get my oil changes there and would 100% recommend. read more

I highly recommend doctor automotive! They were so professional, trustworthy and respectful! Can't rave enough about the great customer service and work done on my car! read more

Unfortunately... I must retract my previous comment for the trustworthiness and etc of this establishment. I was told certain services were tested & completed.... come to find out by another shop that what was said to be tested and completed by Armen and his mechanics was likely not tested at all, and was definitely not completed. Problem.... Credibility permanently ruined.... I'm taking my business elsewhere and I suggest you do the same. read more

You couldn't ask for a more friendly and affordable mechanic. Armen runs his business honestly and fairly. He could charge quite a bit more than he does as he provides absolute top notch service at a fast pace. He extremely generous with his time and will answer any questions you may have. I have been taking my pile of crap car there for years and he has done a great job of keeping it running without me going bankrupt! Thank you Armen!! read more

A few years ago, my 2010 Suburban was in need of brakes and service. I posted a note on Nextdoor asking for a referral to a reputable auto repair service. The name that was most often mentioned was Dr. Automotive on Cave Creek Road. It only took one visit to make me a forever customer. I'm a 75 year old woman and have never been up-sold or over-sold by this merchant. I've never been given a quote for major work and then charged more when the work is done. Without exception, Armen has always made sure that my safety on the road is a priority. Mario is a master mechanic and when the work is done, I'm confident it's done right. I no longer live in the neighborhood but I still make the drive from Scottsdale anytime my car needs service. It's so nice to find an honest business that still provides good old fashioned service! read more

Armin and his mechanics are amazing, He makes you feel comfortable and explains the issue to you to make sure you understand. The prices are reasonable, does not talk you into anything, is honest and does not rip you off..Friendly, Knowledgeable,and Fast work with cheaper prices than most...what can you ask for? What about going beyond what most places will do? They took me to work and even offered to pick me up. They are honest and reliable and get the job done. I will go back to him for now on. Wonderful Owner and wonderful shop. Thank you for helping me! read more

A shop that cares about their people and is in it for repeated customers and not a quick buck. Great business, finally a shop that's passionate about their work and trustworthy. read more

Armen is as honest as they come and the staff there are great. They always get it done on time and the prices are great. They also let you know what needs to be done in the future. read more

Doctor Automotive exceeded my expectations once again! The "Check Engine" light in my 2015 Nissan Versa Note hatchback went on for the second time in a week, and Armen, Dr. Automotive, diagnosed the problem immediately; this time he had to replace the throttle body sensor, which you can only get from Nissan for $765. It was the day after Christmas, and he had to wait for the sensor to arrive. Fortunately, the cost of labor was low, and I picked my car up on Saturday morning, only two days later. When things happen during the holidays, it's always challenging; however, Doctor Automotive turned a frustrating situation to one of faith and good will. I would recommend Doctor Automotive any day of the week! read more

I bring my vehicles here all the time when there is a problem. I have never been disappointed with these guys, they do such great work at affordable prices, and very good customer service. I was recommended by a friend and I can honestly say that with my experience here there is no other mechanics I would trust. The owner Armen is a great guy always very helpful and explains things well. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for an honest mechanic that will do a phenomenal job. Thanks Dr. Automotive for all of your hard work. read more

Dr. Automotive is AWESOME. Armin watches his business and treats his customers like family. Trust this guy. He's is honest and gets the job done right. He gets ALL my business. read more

First off I don't normally do reviews, especially on yelp. With that being said Armen and his guys are flat out awesome. Armen is honest and has a lot of integrity, which is rare for mechanics these days. Armen will tell you how it is straight up with no sugar coating in a friendly and fair way. He doesn't try to BS you or convince you to fix something that is unnecessary. I have referred a few friends here who are pleased with his service and quality of work as well. Besides the top notch work, and extremely fair prices Armen charges what really sets him apart from other mechanics is that he recognized me and remembered my name the 2nd time I brought my van to him. As long as Armen runs this shop my vehicles will only be fixed by him and his staff! read more

Customer Service at best! The owner is the most down to earth friendliest mechanic/owner I know and will help you anyway he can for a good reasonable price, I highly recommend this place! Just went in for spark plugs to change and he did the whole 9 yards and checking to make sure everything else was good. Even as he's mechanic was working and finishing up the job, and he was busy with another client, he saw me ready to take off and he approach me saying, thank you for your business and if there is any other problem come back and he'll fix the problem and he shook my hand, now that's class act. Usually other mechanic shop I went to, once they collect the money, and pretty much off you went, of course they say thank you, but never heart felt like the owner at this shop, he actually cares! read more

It's not the easiest place to find but it's worth searching for it. Fast, knowledgeable, friendly and just about the cheapest oil changes anywhere. I'll be back in 3,000 miles for sure. read more

I have been bringing my cars here for about 8-9 years. Honest , fair and gets the work done as promised...If you are tired of the flimflam from all the chains bring your car to Armen read more

Who needs a dealership when you got Dr Armen?! Honestly he's a life saver. When everyone told me that my truck had a blown head gasket and selling it was my only option. Well I talked to Armen and he took my truck in. At a fair price my truck is back on the road and it fees great. He has a fair warranty on the repairs. I feel great driving my truck knowing that I can go to a friendly and honest person like Armen. This is a shop you can trust. read more
