BLUF: Alex and Flagstaff Auto Repair deliver solid work at a good price and stand behind it. I am blown away by the quality of their service and would recommend them without hesitation. The story is my wife and I were in Sedona this past December, had an issue with our vehicle and took it to Flagstaff to get it checked out. We were told that it was essentially shot and scrambled for options to get it fixed. We called about a dozen places and of them all Flagstaff Auto Repair hands down had the best price, time frame for fixing our vehicle, and overall service. We got our ride fixed and were on our way without missing a beat - Alex and Flagstaff Auto Repair were a life saver. But there's more. Fast forward to February and the issue comes back. We're hundreds of miles from Flag and getting warranty coverage through the local dealer wasn't an option. I don't know what's going to happen, we couldn't afford to repair or replace the vehicle. Then, while I'm at work, I get a call from Alex with a solution: he comes, gets the vehicle, takes it to Flag, gets it fixed, and brings it back - Within a week. And he made good on that. So, I'm sitting here with my ride in the carport doing better than it has in months. So, if I am ever in the vicinity of Flagstaff and need auto repair again, Flagstaff Auto Repair is the place I'm going. And if you're near Flag and need your car worked on, you'll check them first too. read more

my car broke down while I was traveling thru flagstaff I was fortunate enough to find Flagstaff Auto Repair!

He to was kind, courteous and a great guy! if I lived in flagstaff this shop would do all my auto repairs! Give Flagstaff Auto Repair a chance! I trust these guys! read more

Took my car in for a clicking noise; turned out to be a loose piece of plastic. They got me in the same day and fixed it for free within a few hours. Will definitely be going back! read more

I purchased a car from Alex two months ago while I was also in the middle of moving,I paid 4k cash and was assured by Alex that it was in good shape or he would take care of it,I'm not a car person and it had a slow leak in one tire and I just really didn't get a chance to drive it until recently, I had it towed to get the tire took care of and was told it also needs a new battery and the alternator replaced..I have no problem putting money into my vehicles and put a new battery into my truck before selling it and air filter and also alternator tires etc..but I have literally not driven this car 100 miles and now don't have the funds to fix for a couple months as I am an older woman on disability and Alex refuses to honor his word and tried to make out like I'm at fault and yes I guess that's what I get for trusting my mechanic Alex who apparently gets his kicks out of flipping cars,not doing his due diligence and then using his standing as a mechanic at flagstaff auto mall to get people to trust him..taking money from elderly woman and screwing them out of their money,I didn't even have a chance to get a tune up or have anything checked more than the test drive,definitely learned my lesson..NEVER TRUST YOUR MECHANIC..I will be posting warnings wherever possible and pass this along to anyone I can..this man took advantage of my lack of auto knowledge and totally burned me..all for his own profit and used flagstaff auto as his prop to back him up so now they will receive negative reviews,I'm not sure I would want him working for my company, but then I actually have values and care about people.. read more

Found, fixed, and returned my car in 24 hours with a problem that couldn't be found by other mechanics! Great customer service as well.

Flagstaff Auto was more trouble to deal with than they were worth. If they happen to get back to you it's because they want a bad review changed to a positive review. And responding to EVERY 1 star review with "your side"?? Is this business run by 5 year olds? My experience was still poor, so you still get a 1 star review. You don't get 5 stars for doing your job after the fact?? I don't owe you jack! read more

Drove from Phoenix to AZ Snowbowl to view the fall foliage, and when I got back into Flagstaff my engine light came on. Went to Flagstaff Auto Repair to get it checked out. Howard took the time to diagnose the problem, explain what needed to be done to prevent the problem in the future, and got me back on the road safely. Thanks Flagstaff Auto Repair!! read more

FILING a complaint with the BBB. Long story short, took my Dodge in for brakes, told there was a cancelation and they could fit me in and it would be a couple hours. That came and went, by the end of the day I needed not only brakes but new rotors, calipers and an alignment which they never did I later found out. Day 2 (of not having my work truck so unable to work) and over 2k later they say it is done. Took it home and was wobbling all over the road. Called the shop and they said "well it's a dodge" wtf does that even mean? I have had 6 and all of them older. This is a 2018 with 80k miles on it. It was perfect upon dropping it off. Just so I didn't have to go back to this shady ass place I knew I had a bad tire so I went and had all new tires put on hoping it would help the wobbling. After tires, still wobbling. Called a lift shop since I needed to anyway with new tires and while on the lift I was told to look and it was then I saw there was a missing bolt on the caliper!!!!!!!!! (crucial part of the Brakes system, see pic ) at this point not only could me and my daughter of been killed but I spent over 2k for a half ass job. At this point I was forced to go back to this shady place and call them with their mistakes. No apologies at all from any of them, Oh and on top of the brakes, the ball joint and the track bar were also loose. Careless, unprofessional, untruthful and all around crap is what this shop is. At the end of yet another work day they cost me keeping my truck to fix THEIR mistakes the owner had the nerve to tell me I owe them money for the alignment!?!?!? Needless to say, we had words. The owner is a real piece of work. He is what gives good shops, honest shops, a bad name. You guys are extremely lucky my family was not hurt or killed by your neglect and carelessness, it would be far worse consequences then a bad review or a complaint with the BBB. **also you have a very distinct pattern of blaming the customer on all your bad reviews "I'm sorry BUT You were rushing us, you said this or you did that" blah blah Companies do make mistakes but when your wrong don't say sorry BUT. We have very well kept documentation of this whole nightmare, and none of this was my fault. read more

Flagstaff Auto Repair - Missing bolt - Auto Repair Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Pleasant staff, service completed as promised. Have used this shop for years and never had a problem with the service or the staff.

I was up from the valley and had my alternator go out just as I arrived in Flagstaff for a wedding. I shopped around and none of the repair shops were available for at least a week. One shop was kind enough to recommend Flagstaff Auto Repair, so I gave them a call. I explained my situation and they worked me in as a walk-in. The woman I spoke with on the phone was super nice and even more helpful when I arrived in person. The mechanic explained everything they would do and I later learned he was also the owner. It's nice to work with humble, kind, caring people who know how to get the job done right. Their text system kept me up to speed with what they diagnosed, the necessary repair work, and the cost (which was reasonable). They actually had me on my way within two hours with a new alternator instead of a rebuilt one this time. I couldn't have been more blessed by these folks. read more

Fiance and I were on a road trip and two hours in driving two lights turned on. Flagstaff auto repair was able to get us in right away and fix the issue! read more

New to town. Needed car repair. Decided to drive to Flagstaff Auto on Huntington at 8 this morning. Took me right in , car finished in a few hours. And ride service by Jen. Alex the owner big smile on his face. Fabulous humans. This new girl in town found my auto repair people. Which is a super relief to get established. And checked out my car for other issues and let me know.. I cant say enough , about this auto business. I am in good hands for my future life in Flagstaff. Such a relief to know that..One less stress taken care of in a couple of hours. Great vibes! read more

There are no "things to consider" because I was turned away SUPPOSEDLY because their only FORDS mechanic came down with covid. If he really did, then I wish him/her a swift recovery, HOWEVER there was no alternative offered and the vehicle was in such bad shape after the 2 mile drive to their place and after having to drive it BACK, I couldn't get up the hill to my motel room. I can't believe this. What is WRONG with Flagstaff mechanics that they can't help a senior veteran whose van was screwed up by supposed mechanics letting it get vandalized and then not fixing it correctly before they returned it to me. WTH, Flagstaff? read more

Howard & Laini run a great operation and seem to care about their customers. On 2 occasions they have bailed out my Phoenix-Metro based Mazda 5 when we've been visiting the cool pines of Flagstaff. The first time my car had run over something on I-17 and something plastic was dangling off the under carriage and rubbing. The team took care of it by tacking it back up and we've had no issues from it since. The second time my car was overheating and boiling the after a run up Humphrey's Peak to see the changing aspen leaves. We pulled into the lot at about 4:50pm (they closed at 5) and Howard came out to look at the car and made a quick diagnosis that the system appeared to be holding some pressure and they could put some coolant in and check it in the morning. Long story short, the next day they were able to determine that the radiator cap was bad and while the system had pressure, it wasn't enough pressure. What might have been a repair in the 100's was much less because of that rascally radiator and the honesty of Flagstaff Auto Repair. Finally I'll offer this as a comment to all of the negative reviews, nothing in life is perfect, but when things go wrong it's how we react that defines who we are and how we are perceived. Auto repair is no different. Treat people with respect and they usually return that respect to you. read more

I traveled to flagstaff for a family reunion and my car started having problems with leaking power steering fluid and making noises. Brought my car to flagstaff auto repair and left it there for two days to be told that they can't find anything wrong with it. I go to start it and there was a terrible noise. So I had to stay in flagstaff an extra day and was told it needed a new power steering pump. On my drive back home, the same noise appeared 30 min into my drive and fluid leaking. Took it to my trusted mechanic who told me the new pump was faulty and spread metal fragments throughout my system. He also said my car didn't even need a new pump. The problem was something completely unrelated. They will not refund me which has caused extreme hardship on my family. My biggest regret was taking my car here. read more

My family and I are on a roadtrip across the US. We realized once in Arizona that our cars temperature was all the way on cold and a red light showed on our dash while on the freeway. We tried a few mechanic places in the area and none could help us right away. Being that we had to check out of our hotel, pack our pets in our car and hit the road asap, we needed help right away. We came across Flagstaff Auto repair and Howard was so very kind to help us right away and replace our coolant thermostat. He and his wife are very nice and made our experience 100/10. The car is running perfectly and we are on the road again safely. We would 100% recommend this shop. read more

Super Uber Duper appreciate Laini! She is the heart of the business for sure! My van broke down 80 miles away from Flagstaff out in Navajo Country. My Good Sam Roadside service set up my tow truck to take me to a location that couldn't even get my vehicle in for over two weeks. I immediately started calling other shops and was lucky enough to connect with Laini. It took the stress off immediately. Her willingness and care and got me a quote out straight away. I was towed to the shop where she set up the waiting room especially for me and my dogs to get out of the heat. They immediately did a diagnostic and ordered the necessary fuel pump and filter that arrived the next day. They graciously allowed me and my pups to still occupy and sleep in my van out back of the shop. The parts came in the following day and I was back on the road again. Laini was the shining star and the mechanics were awesome too. Feeding my pups treats etc. I am sure wherever Laini chooses to work she would show up give it her all. This automotive shop is very lucky to have her. I am sure her spirit and service gets and keeps customers! Thank YOU Laini and crew! read more

Yes, Flagstaff Auto Repair charged my 300$ for a quote. I took my car in to see how much it would cost to repair my air conditioning and you charged me $300. If you would like me to email a copy of the receipt showing this. Send me your email. I would like a refund. I was not told I was going to be charged just for just having you guys take a look at it, if I had known this- I would not have come. I have college tuition bills to pay, not extra cash to waste on a quote. You guys said it would cost $2,000 to fix my AC. I went somewhere else and they fixed it for $500. Nice try scamming me. read more

I was in Flagstaff on business when the check engine light came on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I called the dealership and they couldn't get me in for two weeks. I then looked in Yelp and found Flagstaff Auto Repair. They got me in right away, found the problem, fixed it, and had my car back to me in a few hours. read more

AVOID THIS SHOP AT ALL COSTS. Terrible repair work, blames the customer, accepts no responsibility, horrible customer service. The customer service Dustin gave me was unacceptable. He told me over the phone my 4Runner would be done by Thursday, and I told him I would be in Friday to pick it up in which he said, "Okay it will be done Thursday." I go in Friday morning (after hearing nothing from flag auto on Thursday) to pick it up. Dustin told me it wasn't ready, and to call back in 4 hours, still not ready. 6 hours after that and the day AFTER he had told me the vehicle would be finished, it's finally finished. When I go in for the second time on Friday to pick up my vehicle, I asked for some type of discount for my troubles( Dustin told me it was going to be done Thursday and was now the end of the business day Friday, I organized a ride that morning, got rid of my loaner car, called the shop multiple times, missed a morning meeting because I was counting on my car being done). After asking for some type of discount, I was laughed at. He went on to tell me that "If I knew anything about mechanics/automotive then you know issues come up that delay the schedule". Of course I know this, and it is the SERVICE ADVISORS JOB (aka Dustin) to communicate with the customer to inform them about such time delays, which he ABSOLUTELY DID NOT. Dustin, the service advisor, told me I had already received a $100 discount because of a "stripped bolt" that was previously on the truck, and said he wouldn't give any other discounts. I told him that part was original and Dustin told me that the Factory Toyota plant must have stripped the bolt in original assembly which is absolutely ridiculous. I told him I had never heard of this happening in my life in which he proceeded to tell me that "A kid my age without much mechanical experience probably wouldn't have ever heard of this happening". Toyota practices a quality control procedure known as six sigma. Please look into this further before claiming such ridiculous statements. Also, he went on to tell me about how he has taken classes on how to "handle people like me". What does that mean? Handling a concerned customer about their vehicle? Maybe he should have paid attention to avoid situations like these where HIS SHOP screwed up. Dustins condescending tone throughout the whole conversation went against everything I have ever heard or been taught about in business. This shop does not take the customer into consideration at all. I then asked him why he didn't call Thursday, (when he said the car would be done), and he told me, "Because you said you would pick it up Friday, and today's Friday"... Even though I went in Friday morning to pick the vehicle up and it wasn't done...In fact, it wasn't done until the end of of the whole business day roughly 8 hours later. Then, he proceeded to blame me, (the customer), as to not being specific as to the time I would pick it up Friday. (Told me it would be done Thursday before they closed) He continued to make very rude comments and remarks the whole time I was dealing with him, face to face. I left not trusting the quality of work done after my horrible experience there. From the beginning, he justified everything that had happened as not their fault, and put the customer on the defensive immediately. I have never been treated with such disrespect by any company in my life. I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend this mechanic shop to anyone under any circumstances. I am shocked as to how this company is still in business. MANY other reviews posted on various sights show this as a reoccurring scenario. Also, whatever deceiving reply Dustin/Howard come up with will not truly shed light on this situation. Their reply will twist the truth to make Flagstaff Automotive appear completely not at fault. Again, THIS REPAIR SHOP IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED. UPDATED: Three days after leaving this shop the power steering pulley stripped and I lost power steering. A more reputable shop, R&A import looked at it and said whoever did this work DID NOT TIGHTEN THE PULLEY DIRECTLY CAUSING THE FAILURE. AVOID THIS SHOP AT ALL COSTS. GO ANYWHERE ELSE! read more

I was quoted 1500 to replace the water pump and thermostat on my 5.7 Tundra at a another shop in town. Flag Auto Repair quoted me 750 for that AND a serpentine belt replacement since the belt had been damaged by the coolant spraying everywhere from the leaking water pump. Look, its a simple job that should take an experienced mechanic no more than 2 hours, plus a 300-400 in parts. That other shop wanting 1500 NOT including the serpentine belt is certainly overcharging. The pump is a little tricky to get to, but it's not too bad. Watch a few videos on youtube, dont take my word for it. Anyways. They did a good honest job for a fair price. Thats what matters. Answered all my questions. Showed me pics of my engine where coolant sprayed, etc. And didnt gouge. I'll be back when we the next problem pops up. Thanks FAR. read more

I had come to this place at the recommendation of a friend's sister who lived in town. I had been camping in Flagstaff for the weekend of June 19th when my car started acting amuck. I'm generally the kind of guy to try to fix things myself if I can, I'm not afraid to pull things apart and replace them, I've done my own spark plugs and ignition coils, replaced both oxygen sensors, and right before this trip I had replaced my air filters, wipers, and recharged my AC. But this was incredibly strange behavior for my car (stalling while I'm driving down the road) and I was a bit freaked out. I looked at the reviews on Google and they were glowing testimonies about people getting their cars fixed quickly and affordably, so it seemed like the perfect place to run to... But believe me when I say how absolutely duped I feel to have the whole issue to have been a flipping battery going bad, and these people took that and milked it for all it was worth. When I arrived they did inform me there would be a $125 fee for the first hour of diagnostics, and they'd go from there. I'm familiar with diagnostic fees, but NEVER have I been to a place that hadn't applied those fees to the cost of the repair. In this case I would have been better off going to the Chevy dealership, where I went to the last time I had battery troubles a few years back, and they charged me something around $280. And I thought THAT was expensive! It took a lot of persistence to get any information or updates out of them, and they hadn't finished the job by the time they closed, so suddenly I was stranded here & had to get myself a motel room for the night on top of it all. Now I did think about asking them to bring the cost down, but that's not something I'm inclined towards, as I believe a business has their right to charge what they deem is necessary, and being in a strange town dealing with people I've never met before, the last thing I really want to do is cause an upset if they disagreed, and THEN still have to ask for my car back in the end. I had to split the charge between two cards, but I did and got the hell out of there. Did my car get fixed? Yes. Were they cordial and professional? Largely. I came to them with a problem and they solved it for me. It's these reasons alone that I've given them two stars, because despite my cash-hemmorhaging bill I walked away with a working vehicle. It wasn't a total loss. But am I a happy customer? Hell no! Every person I've told since that I was charged $430 for a battery has responded with jaw slackened shock. No one has thought that as a reasonable price, rather said it was scammy, criminal, and they couldn't believe thats's what I was charged. I wish I had checked the yelp reviews prior as well, which show a pretty dramatic curve of their service quality going south in the past year and similar stories to what I just experienced. I REALLY wish I had just gone to the auto store around the corner and tried buying a battery first before taking it in somewhere and getting charged three times as much. That one's on me, and believe me I'm kicking myself for it. More than anything this has bred more distrust from mechanics for me. Perhaps if my bill had been reasonable, say $200 less, my review would be a lot more like these blissful 5 stars that got to drive away lucky. But to give them anymore than what I have would be an insult to honesty. For anyone that doesn't have money to burn, I urge you to consider ALL your options first. tl;dr: Got charged $430 to diagnose and replace a battery read more

I can't say enough about this auto shop. Every time I go in one I feel like I'm going to be ripped off. Not here. They treated us with so much compassion. We were on vacation in Flagstaff when our check engine light came on and the car started sputtering. We called Flagstaff Auto and we were NOT disappointed! Not only did they greet us with a smile but they fit us in so we could get home. They had a nice waiting room too. We called other auto shops and they were not as nice or professional. All were too busy and didn't care how we got home. Never been so pleased with an automotive repair shop before. Thank you Flagstaff Auto! Oh they also recharged my AC which also decided to go on the blitz on the way to Flgstaff. It was so hot and only getting hotter. They saved me! Going home was so comfortable and we had not a worry on the road. read more

Quick and easy quoting. Fast and professional communication. So glad l found this place. They got my van back on the road within a few days and l was able to continue my travels. So happy!! read more

While on vacation in Flagstaff my power steering pump needed to be replaced. This shop used faulty parts, thereby damaging my vehicle further. They refused to refund or make good. I am now disputing the charge with the credit card company, which is proving to be an equally hellish experience. Save yourself huge hassles and avoid this shop at all costs! DO NOT USE THIS SHOP!!! THEY ARE THIEVES! read more

Absolutely the best shop in town! Howard (the owner) & his crew have helped us with our daily drivers & antique cars for over 15 years. Their knowledge & expertise is second-to-none. Honest, dependable & caring. You'll be hard pressed to find a better group of people. read more

I won't be back. Basic transmission service, was supposed to cost me around $100... fast forward to today, when I picked up the truck and my bill was $212 WITH A coupon!!! And the only thing I was told when I asked " why so expensive"??? Was that the tranny pan was hard to remove. Do yourself a favor and find a different shop! There's plenty in town. Disappointed to say the least! read more

Please read flagstaff automotive response. I did say $200 and they were right it was $156 and change. I did not have the receipt In front of me. But more importantly look at the pathetic excuse for not helping my employee push the truck up on the trailer. 3 or 4 minutes tops and better yet just civil kindness. Do you really want people like this to work on your vehicle. Remember we even offered to pay for the help. I also run a Business and wheather its a customer or just another person I would always lend a hand especially if the guy is stranded and it would only take a couple minutes. read more

It should be well documented and well known to all, that this company, Flagstaff Auto Repair, is unscrupulously notorious for ripping people off! They are very dishonest and liars so PLEASE take my advice and do NOT take your vehicle to them. The owner, as a woman should be especially sensitive to women due to the prevalence of women being cheated as far as car repairs, however due to a lack of conscience, assisted in being aggregiously fraudful. She is completely devoid of professionalism and actually assisted her employee, Wesley in lying regarding situations to defraud potential customers. PLEASE BE AWARE of Flagstaff Auto Repair and join as many people in Flagstaff in not allowing this company to continue in their horrific and illegal practices in ripping off the wonderful community of Flagstaff and surrounding areas. Thank you for supporting this important issue!!! read more

My fiancé and I were passing through from Ca to the other side of the county and needed to be at our location within a certain number of days. As it was a Friday, we were anticipating we would have to wait until Monday for our RV AC to be fixed and we're afraid we were going to miss our event, but the owners were extremely helpful, kind, and accommodating. They were able to order our parts, get it delivered and fixed our air conditioner all during that same day. The owner fixed it himself with an other man's help and double checked to make sure it was done properly. They let us wait in the waiting room with our dogs, gave them treats and also gave us some pizza from their lunch! They were such a blessing to us and we appreciate their above and beyond service. They were also very personable. The owners have a high level of experience drag racing which basically translates into them really knowing their stuff! We are blessed to be back on the road and heading toward our destination with no more issues all during the same day! read more

Based on the review where someone from Flagstaff Auto replied to yelp review with an answer involving "eating a sandwich." I knew that's some next level confidence and I had to give them a shot. The shop itself is a little off the beaten path and parking is tight but once you get inside the guys at the counter are friendly / customer service is top notch. We went through a checklist of potential issues and approaches to fix it. This attention to detail and follow up went the entire course of the process. They addressed small problems I thought I had and got on going problems which other mechanics (and some at an actual Mitsubishi dealership) just gagged off. My car is probably running the best it ever has. Thanks F.A. read more

Hate to do this but this place sucks, spent over 2hr there too replace a radiator, once we left the vehicle over heated after it had been replaced ,coolant was everywhere, worse part was they left the fan unplugged and caused my car too overheat. I really don't recommend this place. read more

My husband and I are fulltime RV'ers and were hauling our 42 ft. 5th wheel through the pass when we noticed smoke coming from the rear tire area. Flagstaff Auto Repair had good ratings so we called them and they were able to look at our truck that same day and repair it the following day. Apparently our rear parking brake had gone bad and was leaking which caused the smoke. It would have been so easy for someone to recommend rear brakes, etc. but Howard and Laini at Flagstaff Auto Repair were honest with us and said our rear brakes were fine and it was just the right rear axle seal and parking brake pads. So a potentially expensive repair was avoided simply because of the honesty and integrity of Flagstaff Auto Repair. Howard and Laini gave us a ride to where we were staying and picked us up when the repair was done. To have a local shop fit us into their already busy schedule (their task board was visible and was full, they were busy) and to be able to honestly access and repair the problem within 24 hours was such a blessing. If we are in the Flagstaff area again, we will use them for all our repairs and if we don't need repairs we would still stop by to say hello; that's the kind of people and kind they are and the kind of service they provide. Howard and Laini...THANK YOU. read more

This is hands down the best shop I have been to in all of my travels across the US. Howard got our van right in, took the time to find the right radiator for our van (1974 Ford Econoline, not easy finding the perfect match for this vehicle), welcomed us and and our dog to wait in the waiting room, and even worked on 4th of July to get our van finished and get us back on the road! These guys are the best! I am so thankful we found this shop, and if we are ever back in Flagstaff area, this is the only shop I would go to! read more

Took my jeep in here after my break lines snapped. Dustin and the team were so, incredibly helpful. Not only did they do a stellar job, but Dustin made sure to walk me through the problem they identified as well as the source before discussing options for next steps. I've been to shops that just went in and started fixing things without consulting me first which was 1 - infuriating and 2 - expensive. I appreciated the extra time he took as well as the additional effort they put in to expedite the process of finding my specialty break lines. On top of the great service and work, they are a family owned business and you can tell :) Finally, their free taxi service is the cherry on the cake! read more

I don't normally post reviews. Therefore, the fact that I feel compelled to post on this shop tells you how utterly fantastic it is. I was traveling across the country from New Jersey to Nevada when my AC went out in my little beetle in the middle of Arizona....in July..... I am a bit of a princess and had to get this checked out ASAP. I was planning on stopping in Flagstaff anyway- so I started looking for somewhere on the way. I normally only go to vw certified type places because I know vw's can be tough to work on but I was impressed with what people said about this place and how willing they were to help when I called. Plus, I was in a time crunch. I stopped by, sweating bullets. They took my car right away and were able to diagnose the problem quickly (a fuse issue that many vw's have. Makes sense since my baby is older- a 2000) They offered me multiple options including keeping it for the night to get a vw part shipped over and put on. BUT, I was in a bit of a time crunch and relatively close to where I was headed (in comparison to where I started...) They were able to offer a temporary circuit breaker fix. I am currently spending the night in Las Vegas, 200 miles from them and the temp fix is still working. I just need it to last until I can drop my car off at my guy in northern Nevada tomorrow. I know my car very well. I didn't feel swindled and despite being a woman, I didn't feel as if the men talked down to me, either. Really a wonderful place. And I found the cost to be very fair. I also got my full synthetic oil done while I was there. Oh, not only were they timely, friendly, and informative, they worked on my car while it was filled literally to the top with stuff...they couldn't see out my back window or have a passenger. Great customer service and knowledge, even when it comes to German cars! Nice work. Nice waiting area and they gave me a water bottle while I waited. As if you need any more reasons to visit, this student doctor would endorse this place if she could. read more

We were on a cross country trip from Northern California to Tennessee, and stopped in Flagstaff to refuel the Tahoe and the passengers; my wife and dog. When we prepared to get back on the road, the Air Conditioning stopped working, hence we turned to Yelp for repair options. As usual, fellow Yelpers did not lead us astray, as we went to Flagstaff Auto Repair for assistance. What followed, was beyond our expectations, and words can not express our gratitude! Upon arrival, Howard was able to get our Tahoe in for inspection in short order. Concerned what part had failed, what it would cost, was quickly put to rest, as Dustin advised it was only a relay switch, and they were having the local supply hustle the part over, to get us back on the road, all for a Very reasonable price! Thank you Howard and team for the tremendous services you provide, your professionalism and integrity was a pleasure to do business with. Our only regret, is that Howard's store is not in our Hometown; Flagstaff, you have a winner here! read more
