We have been bringing our personal vehicles as well as our fleet vehicles here for quite a few years. We always get great service! They take the time to explain what the issue is and how much it will be to fix it ahead of time. They are honest and trustworthy. read more

I had my first service appointment recently and was very happy with my entire experience. I scheduled my appointment in person and the staff is very friendly. My service appointment was handled promptly and they are very communicative. They also performed their work at a very reasonable cost. I'm looking forward to being a long-term client of Klipper if this is how they do business. read more

I was referred to this place by a member of the community and he was right. This place was helpful, knowledgeable and honest which is a big deal for someone who dreads car stuff. I needed some basic things but will definitely be back for my next service. read more

If I would give ZERO STARS I would. Overpriced, crooks!!! Performed a recommended unnecessary service and ruined my transmission. Kept truck 6 days with zero communication and them saying the truck was "fine" and since I was upset paid me 300 to stay quiet. Sure enough the truck broke down again less than 2 weeks later and they are taking no responsibility. Icing on the cake is the owner lied about who he was on the phone and then hung up on me.. and then I called back with he and the receptionist hanging up on me about ten times when my truck was being towed there to be inspected. DO NOT TRUST THIS Mechanic for honest work or customer service. Unprofessional, rude and crooked. Will never recommend. read more

I made an appointment through their website that went nowhere. Then I called to make an appointment and they did a nice job on that. They had trouble installing an air filter though that was a genuine part. So that failed. Funny thing though, I went to AutoZone bought a filter and replaced it myself in 5 minutes . read more

Excellent and affordable service. A family business. The took great care of me, replaced my front shocks, and told me my rear shocks were fine saving me over a thousand dollars! read more

I can't say enough about Klipper Automotive. I have been a customer for quite some time and wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else. I have moved to Vail and still drive to Marana to have my work done. Great Service and prices from a very honest operation. read more

My car was in real bad shape, I went to Klipper auto for a quote of how much they would charge me for the things I needed, and I not only got a quote, the manager, gave me a discount. I was so happy to hear that because I knew I didn't have a lot of money, especially for car stuff. This was the first time the guys at this store met me, and they wanted to give me a discount. That was pretty cool! I definitely wanted to come back if they gave me discount to things! Plus they were really thorough with everything they did! I had to go there a 2nd time and when my car came out of the shop it started like it was brand new again!!!! I'm definitely coming back to Klipper with all my car trouble needs!!! On top of this, if your car battery dies in the morning on the way to Klipper, if you live close enough, the Klipper courtesy car would come pick you up with no cost being charged. The guys who helped me too were awesome'!!!! read more

I hesitate to write this because I don't want Klipper to become so popular it's impossible to get an appointment, but I have to be fair -- these people are the best in town! On my way to my first appointment, I discovered a flat tire. I rolled into Klipper with the spare. Jon promised to see what neighboring Big O Tires could do. Not only did Klipper fix my original problem at the best price I could find (I called around to compare), but the tire was fixed and remounted at no charge! That's the kind of service I've come to expect and appreciate. The mechanics are first-rate, the costs are the cheapest in town, and you will always receive a friendly greeting when you step inside the office. It's impossible to go wrong when you choose Klipper! read more

Great service and highly recommend them! Tuneup and brakes and didn't try to oversell!

I have been taking a couple of my cars to Klipper for basic oil changes to diagnostics. Always reasonable rates and top notch service. They also stand behind their work. I agree with other reviews that say they never try to oversell or upsell. They rely on a volume of happy customers, rather than upselling to make a profit. read more

Always great service and pricing!! Appointments are prompt and people there are honest and friendly

This is the first time I have brought in my vehicle, however, my husband has had his serviced here in the past. My vehicle is a sports car, German, and usually I get the run around on prices as well as up services and charges. Not only did Klipper service my car in the time they said they would, they took car of my tire pressure issues due to weather, and returned the car to me by mistake he time promised. Klipper did not overcharge me, they were honest and hard working. We will be back for both of our cars as needed in the future and spread the word about this great auto shop provider in our area. read more

What an amazing business! My car absolutely died last night. I knew it wasn't the battery since it's brand new. We then thought it was the starter. I had the car towed to Klipper that night. By 10:30 in the morning my car was done. I was ready for some super high price tag but it very reasonable and everyone in the shop was so friendly. My hubby loved talking baseball with them and felt co ride t that we weren't taken advantage of. They are now my go-to automotive service center. read more

Glad I found Klipper automotive as they are the best. Very fair price on all services. Only place I'm taking my car to.

I was surprised, I called right when they opened, asked if they could check out my radiator because it was leaking, and they were able to inspect and replace it the same day. Very friendly customer service and the complimentary ride to my house after dropping it off was very much appreciated. Will go back if I have car issues again. read more

These guys are very friendly, professional and reliable. Highly recommend! They fixed up the water pump in my Honda accord within a day and did some extra work. Made a hard job quick and easy. read more

My family and I have been going to John for the last 10+ years following him whatever shop he goes to. So glad he has his own place. This is the only shop we go to knowing he is honest and hardworking. Most recently John and his team worked on our transmission and saved us over $3,000 compared to another shop just down the road. read more

Super fast service, so so very honest and just got everything fixed for under 300 bucks. They also shuttled me out to where I live, slightly outside of Marana near the Airpark and picked me up to take me back. I will not go anywhere else. Highly recommend read more

I needed a basic oil change and also had to leave within a certain time for work- they have a ton of 5 star reviews on google and I can see why! Excellent customer service! The owner was friendly and took car of me 100% even educating me on a few car basics regarding certain oils and how many miles they go for. I will absolutely be a returning customer- I spoke with another customer while waiting and she also said that she had been going to them for years cause they always take good care of her.... 5 stars all around! read more

Nothing but great things to say about the whole Klipper Automotive team who I have used for years. The latest...My car wouldn't start not far from their business. As I was trying to figure out what to do, my wife suggested I call Klipper even though it was close to closing time. Curt (sp?) explained he didn't have anyone to send over for a jump. As I was bumming and trying to figure out my next move, Curt called back, said their driver just returned, sent him over and got me back on the road. These guys are the best! read more

Had the windshield washer pump and serpentine belt replaced. Work was done right and on time with quality parts. Excellent customer service.

Took my SportTrac in for a checkup before departing on a trip. Sure glad I did because I needed extensive repairs to the front suspension. John carefully explained the required repairs and costs. The repairs were done ON TIME and at the QUOTED COST. My SportTrac is ready to roll! Great service at a reasonable price, delivered on time. Thanks John! read more

I brought my vehicle in for an oil change and to evaluate the condition of the vehicle, which has been serviced here for over 10+ years so that it would be safe, reliable, and no major issues soon afterward. "Everything was GREAT," but 3 days later, it was not. The transmission went out, and my daughter and I were stuck on the side of the road. They couldn't send their shuttle because I needed to wait for their tow company. Overpriced rebuilt transmission, lack of proper communication with the employees. No one knew anything, including when the vehicle was actually finished when communicating with the rental company. Lack of communication and professionalism, without a doubt. Talked to like I was just a burden. Was told 1 thing and then hit with an over $300 charge because of the lack of proper communication. Sarcastic comments about "not being able to predict the future" apparently looking at the car for an entire day didn't show any suspicions of the transmission not working properly. This has caused a major headache within the family, financially impacted, and now I just do not trust this place. I don't wish for a reply as I simply am just frustrated and overwhelmed with what this has caused by taking it here. Personally, too many workers who aren't on the same page or willing to actually listen and communicate accurately. read more

My only issue is that the service took longer than initially proposed. Honest, quality work and a fair price. Even a better than typical waiting room with bottles of water, snacks and a bathroom! read more

I wish I could give Klipper Automotive a good review. Yes, they worked hard on our car. But overtightening our wheel bearing and then refusing to take ownership left me concerned. Did they do all that work to correct shoddy workmanship? Sadly, on top of that, they claimed 40 and thirteen years of experience for their mechanics. If this is the case, then why over tighten a bearing in the first place? They claimed it never happened. All I know is my car never made that noise before I went to Klipper and the noise was gone after my husband loosened the bearing. He may be retired and only have 20 years of experience as a mechanic, but I'd trust his experience with our car over their's any day! Do yourself a favor, think twice about going to Klipper so you don't have to worry every time you drive down the road. read more

The guys here at Klipper did an awesome job on my mustang! The owner and Johnathan called me before anything was touched and thoroughly explained what was wrong. I have taken my car to two other shops who just turned my engine light off and as I drove off it turned on. They made sure that the light would not come back on and did everything to fix it. I will go back and loved the customer service! read more

Did my Brakes a few weeks ago and it was very affordable and they did a fantastic job. Will recommend and keep coming back for other things.

Awesome crew! They repaired my car problem that Holmes Tuttle couldn't fix. This is now my go-to auto repair shop. Thank you guys!

John is the best in the business. I have been a customer of his for years and now that he has his own shop it's where I go. He hires the best mechanics who are HONEST. Multiple times I have taken my vehicle in and been told the service wasn't needed. They don't oversell just to make a buck. Thanks for the honesty and quality work!! read more

I appreciate having Klipper Automotive as my go-to auto repair shop. Car breakdowns are never pleasant, but knowing that my car will receive an honest diagnosis and competent repairs at a fair price makes the situation easier to deal with. Thank you, John, for operating your shop with integrity. My thanks also to your team for their quality workmanship. Lee G. read more

Had one good experience here getting an oil change. Decided I'd go here a second time since my normal place is extremely expensive and I happened to have a weekday off which is rare for me. I dropped my vehicle off for an oil change and arrived back 50 minutes later. It was being pulled out of the bay and I saw a huge corner missing from one of my hubcaps. Asked them about it and said it broke because it was "extremely brittle" and since it was a manufacturer's hubcap they would call around to some junk yards to see if they can find one. Well it's not a manufacturer's hubcap and this was an aftermarket set that was as close to original as I could find since the original set tend to be around $200. They took ownership and said they would replace the hubcaps. After sitting in the tiny waiting room for over 2 hours while "they delivered the wrong ones" multiple times I got tired of waiting as I had an agenda full of things that I wanted to do on my rare weekday off not sit there for hours while they "tried" to replace the broken hubcap. I asked for a refund and they had to call someone to ask? Overall just a terrible experience. I'll stick with the expensive place I normally go to. This place is cheap for a reason, they wanted to bring up all the "5 star reviews" that's fine but they are all from new accounts with a small number of reviews. More than likely asked to leave a review. Nothing special about this place - I do have to say the owner is extremely nice and I think his intentions are well but unfortunately he's not the one out working on the cars so I don't care how many years he's been working on them as he's not anymore. read more

Klipper does not offer military veteran or senior discounts

I travel a distance to go exclusively to Klipper because I totally trust John & his experienced team. He would never 'up-sell' me any service that my car doesn't need. As a matter of fact, I thought I needed a certain service on my car, & more than once he told me to wait, as it was unnecessary at that time. They always provide top-rate service with courtesy & care, & return my car clean & properly serviced. I don't know of a better auto service business anywhere! read more

Staff was extraordinarily friendly. Service was fast and I got an appointment the same day I called. Best price in the area for my service as well. Only complaint is that I asked them to look at the underside of my car to see if they could fix the cover that had shattered and they said it had no issues but it's in multiple pieces held together by tape. read more

I have known John for over 10 years. He is a man of integrity. If he tells you he will fix your car in one day, he will. He has a tremendous network of suppliers and will get you the best pricing on any parts that you need. He always follows up after your service to ensure you are a very happy customer. You won't be disappointed with Klipper Automotive! read more

Finally a place I can trust! I live 45 minutes away and will continue to bring them my cars. There were no surprises just quality work.

I am very satisfied with the work. They went over and beyond expectation keeping us up to date on the expected repairs and even washed my dirty van. I was very happy that the cost was less than the original estimate and they took care of other needs that I wasn't aware of. My dad usually does all my repair work but he just didn't have time. He was very satisfied with their work and the timeliness of the repairs. He says he is finally happy to know where to take all of our vehicles with confidence. read more

No one likes to have to have work done on their vehicles. It's never convenient and sometimes expensive. However, you won't find a more honest shop in town. We were referred to John years ago when he was with a shop in Oro Valley. After a service center at the Auto Mall told my mom she needed thousands of dollars worth of maintenance and repairs done on her vehicle, we took it to John. After an hour, he told us that none of those things needed to be done and didn't even charge us for looking at it. It was then that he earned my business. Over the years, we've had a couple of repairs done on our own vehicle. Most recently, we had our transmission rebuilt at Klipper. About a month later, we noticed some transmission fluid in our carport. Klipper looked at it right away. Determined that the transmission coolant hoses (which were probably not replaced when the transmission was rebuilt) were cracked and leaking. A couple of hours later they were replaced and I was back on the road - no additional charge! That's the kind of customer service that I appreciate and that is rare these days. read more
