I called so many dealerships and independent mechanics and their quotes for spark plug replacement were outrageous. My sister suggested Spinwrench to me as she has been taking her family's vehicles to them for years. Not only did these guys give me a super low quote, they got me in the next day. Spark plug replacement and oil change they did it all in about 3 hours for $240!l total!!! I will be going back to them for any future repairs. Really nice guys too. Found a gas leak I had no idea about. Even aired up my tires. read more

Regret going to this auto repair. After 3 weeks his last text was I'm trying for you. After that last Friday no updates no response to texts. He shouldve let me know he was no longer trying. So disappointed and wasted 3 weeks for nothing. I conduct humanitarian work and need AC in my car. But he dodnt care enough to let me know ge was dumping me as a client. Shameful service. This is what happens when you believe a referral. read more

JP Spinwrench Auto Repair is awesome! I took my van in to have it diagnosed and repaired after having a horrible experience elsewhere. John who is the owner of JP Spinwrench Auto Repair diagnosed a leaking water pump and oil pressure sensor valve and fixed it in the same day. I had my car back within 5 hours and his pricing is VERY reasonable! John took care of me like I was family! He's honest, fair and professional! He even showed me the old parts he took out. Thank you John for taking such good care of me and Goldie! She runs just like she was brand new! 18 years old and 115K miles and at least 100k more to go! You've earned a loyal customer for life and I'll refer all my friends to you! Karen. read more

In addition to having had a poor customer experience, I was threatened with violence by the shop's owner when requesting necessary information regarding an auto repair this shop completed, and subsequently assaulted by his employee. Here is my experience. My fiancee ( then girlfriend ) and I took our car to her mechanic, John Plew at JP Spinwrench at 6407 N. 53rd Ave. in Glendale, AZ, around February - of 2018 - with what turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. After replacing the fuel pump, he allegedly discovered that the timing chain or belt had skipped and had damaged the valves. He also stated that upon further inspection, he determined there were particles - apparently related to the timing mechanism - circulating in the engine. Instead of repairing, he suggested replacing the engine with a low mileage engine with a 12 month warranty from a local supplier. Some time and more than $3,000 later, the car was returned to us with the "low mileage warrantied motor" but has barely run since, and within 12 months has encountered another issue with damaged valves. We returned the car to JP Spinwrench for diagnosis and warranty repair. This ( damaged valves ) is an internal issue, which John had stated was covered by the warranty, yet he informed us the warranty would not cover the repair, and quoted over $600 to repair the cylinder head. Our next question to the mechanic; where did you source the engine? who is the supplier? We received no response for a week, so I drove to the shop to ask in person. This is information we need to review the terms of the warranty and to confirm the engine's mileage ourselves. The response I received from the owner, John Plew, was him immediately screaming "You're coming here with an attitude now?" and running up to within a couple inches of my face screaming at me that I was "about to get your f****** ass kicked!!" "for asking a question?" I asked, incredulously. John then screamed to "get your f****** car outta here!" to which I reminded him he was supposed to be fixing my car, and also why had he not responded to our messages? Some more screaming followed, after which his partner, Don Plew, blocked John with his arm and moved him back, telling him to calm down. I repeated my original question to Don, "where did you get the engine from?" Don looked dismayed at my continued presence. "Why does it matter if they're not warrantying it anyway?" "Where did you get it from?" I repeated. Don's response "we get them from lots of places." "Where'd you get this one?" I inquired. "From a company" Don stated, turning away from me. "What's the name?" I asked. "I'd have to go look it up" Don said. I then stated "Ok. Go look it up." At this point, Don looked very displeased, and turned and approached me, also getting to within a couple inches of my person. I informed Don he was getting too close, and was getting aggressive. "I'm just asking a question." I reiterated. Don Plew then quickly and forcefully grabbed me with both hands around the throat and choked me for several seconds, then released me. He then turned and went back to work. I have filed a police report. Bear in mind - this is MY situation. This is MY experience with JP Spinwrench, owned and operated by John Plew, and his mechanic, Don Plew ( the man who choked me ) in Glendale. These are true events that happened to me, other customers experiences may differ. NOTE - these events took place in the driveway in full view of the shop camera, though the proprietor told the police they didn't know how to access the video... read more

See all

Doesn't return phone calls or emails. Tried reaching John approximately 15 times over 2 weeks. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Great customer service, honest mechanic, & very good prices. Have been going here for 2 years. Highly recommended!

If I could give negative stars, I would. Don't take your car here unless you want to be swindled out of thousands of dollars, given horrible, likely un-warrantied parts, and then assaulted. I took my car in a year ago for a broken fuel pump. Somehow that resulted in total engine failure - don't ask me how, I still can't wrap my head around that - and I ended up paying several thousand dollars for an allegedly warrantied engine. Not only did he keep my car for months on end, when I did get my car back it wasn't the same. I ended up with a damaged cylinder head a couple months later due to internal engine debris causing damage. When I took my car back so the warranty could cover it, he stated that the warranty would not cover the issue, and that I would be out several hundred dollars. Once I let him know that I had documentation from the dealership which hinted that the debris that caused the issue came internally, there was radio silence. I had to message him repeatedly in order to get a response, until he finally decided to stop replying at all. I asked him where he purchased the engine and the terms of the warranty. After not hearing from him (and him having my car for a couple months again) my fiancé drove down to the shop to ask in person where the engine was purchased from so we could review the terms and conditions of the warranty. Queue angry statements from both mechanics, threats of bodily harm, refusal to answer a simple question, and finally, assaulting my fiancé. Though cameras were there and captured the whole scene, the mechanics conveniently are allegedly unable to access the video (probably because the video will prove that my fiancé was assaulted without provocation.) I am completely disgusted by the actions of these mechanics, and hope to prevent others from making the same mistake I did by trusting these people. Note: This story is true and is reflective of my experience, however it may not be representative of the experiences of others. read more
