I have been searching for years for a dependable and knowledgable independent Subaru Mechanic for my 2016 Outback and I finally found one. Originally getting serviced as a local Chandler Suburu Dealership, I got fed up with exhorbinate service prices which was more expensive than my previous Southern California Dealerships. Chandler ($604 for spark plugs), California ($499 for spark plugs). Then another local independent European vehicle mechanic recommended Lifetime Automotive for Japaneses vehicles. Its a good 20+ miles from my house but Alex, the owner and chief mechanic put me right at ease with his Subaru experience and his ethics as a mechanic. Pricing is still not cheap but is much less, at least for certain jobs I have had done, than the dealerships, in one case 50% less. It seams like fair pricing for quality work. Alex is a super cool guy who again is honest, wont do unnecessary work but does make recommendations, and is on time with his repair time estimates so you can still plan your day. I will definitely be returning for my next major service or issues that pop up in between. Good-bye dealerships. Thanks Alex read more

I had good experiences up until I stopped interacting with the owner. whenever I would speak with the owner, he would give me his honest opinions and let me know the price before confirming. I've had interactions with a new guy that took over my repairs and I will not be back. I don't feel like i've received the same level of service, care or pricing. Also when I was curious why I was being charged over $200 for changing my headlight (spent $1000 in a span of two weeks, and i wasn't expecting that price so i was just looking for a breakdown), I was asking for clarification and was met with a rude tone and no answers. The price was also not confirmed with me beforehand or i would've declined. I've been going here for years but just no longer feel that comfortable speaking to anyone but the owner. read more

Great guys, fair prices, quick work. Family owned and run, way better than those chain places that don't care about you or your car. Solid shop overall. read more

The owner is very kind and has a good sense of humor, the prices are always reasonable and they never try to upsell me with anything I don't need. They are very honest and understand that my car is a beater and I only want to do the bare minimum to keep it going lol they always fit me in even when I'm on a time crunch! And they do wonderful and fast work :) read more

These guys are super easy to work with and friendly. They answered anytime I called and had a good response to any of my questions or concerns. The prices were very fair and they get the job done well! read more

I had a great experience here! They really helped me out when my engine light went on. I was really scared & they took care of it on the same day!! read more

I take my car here for almost everything, they're very upfront and real about what is necessary and what is not. Frank is on top of everything and is super helpful and informative. read more

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a phenomenal crew of mechanics at LIFETIME AUTOMOTIVE. My car is an older model - in an effort to sustain its optimal mobility I sought out LIFETIME AUTOMOTIVE and learned that my car has life in it, yet. Alex (the owner) told me that he works with customers to build a plan of action; "scheduled routine maintenance and repairs that will keep your vehicle running at optimum performance." The shop, itself, is vibrant in color and extremely neat in appearance -- though the personalities working in the bays are much neater. L.A. Mechanics are passionate about maintenance and repair. I took a few pictures and scheduled an appointment. Looks like I won't have to get a new car note, after all. Well, not just yet. read more

I've been coming to this shop for a little over two years. I've built a great relationship with the owner Alex. From the very first day I came here he has been upfront and honest with me. He tells me what I need to repair now, what can wait, and what scheduled maintenance I will have upcoming. Not only will he tell me, he will show me directly what is going on with my vehicle by pointing it out! Their pricing is some of the best I've seen. I completely endorse Lifetime Automotive for their quality of work, honest service, and friendly environment. Good mechanics are hard to find. Finding one you can trust is even harder. Here, you'll find both! read more

Awesome, honest shop! No BS. Got straight answers and fair pricing. Highly recommend!

Called this place because I had some old radiator fluid I needed disposed of. The guys at lifetime automotive took it off my hands. The father and son were super nice and helpful. I will definitely be coming back here when I need work done on my vehicle. read more

Hello all, I just wanted to give a review because I had a awesome experience with the owner of Lifetime Auto. He is the real deal. I recently purchased the Infiniti G37 from him and he was extremely knowledgeable about what to expect, issues, maintenance. He gave me a tremendous deal on this great car. Do not hesitate to buy a car from Lifetime Auto, I have had no issues with the car since he helped me identify and fix problems that came up, when I originally got it, he is a great resource and very trustworthy and knowledgeable, straightforward , no bs type of person, he sticks to his word. He has been in business over 25 years helping people get in to the car of their dreams . Do not pay over price for the same car elsewhere is it far from lifetime auto I highly recommend it. Get a hold of Mike and he will give you a awesome deal, on a great car, REMEMBER TO ACT FAST, They Can Go Quick, DO NOT go with shady dealers, go with lifetime auto. You will not regret it I am extremely happy with my purchase he walked me through every step of the process and was upfront about pricing and details of the car. This is where you find the most reliable, best deals in all of Colorado without a doubt. read more

Some of the best things in life come in small packages. Lifetime isn't a huge company, but they are quality! The owner Mike is such a nice guy and his small crew is extremely knowledgable and talented. They have kept our Bimmer in tip top shape! This is one mechanic I can trust. Mike never seems to pull the wool over your eyes, he's very honest and will always tell you how much a service will cost before performing it. I feel this crew is more about making their customers happy and safe than filling their own pockets. Its rare to find a mechanic you can trust, this place is a diamond in the rough! It might be ever so slightly difficult to find them. They are located inside of an industrial park. When you pull in off of Kyrene, you will want to take your first left, they are in the back, but you will see them right away as their garage is clearly marked. read more

Taking the extra step earns my business... I took my truck down so I could pass emissions at 7:30am. I had an evap leak I couldn't get sorted out. They fogged it, fixed it, and had it ready for me to pick up at noon so I could take it down and get emissions done on my lunch, all for less than another shop quoted me. That's the regular service. When I got to emissions, the guy broke my bracket for the OBD-II. Wouldn't test the car. I took it back to Lifetime to have Alex fix it if he could. Not only did they fix it for me, they also took it down to emissions for me, got it passed, and didn't charge more than the emissions test cost. As long as Alex owns the place, I'll always go back... read more

I the few times I've gone here have always been good experiences. Honest, kind, and efficient!

We started going there when they had a coupon book special for oil changes that our son got us. Finally we have found a reputable company who is not going to inflate prices Beyond belief. They have been courteous explaining all of our vehicle needs and we have used them for General Automotive issues my husband and I have been satisfied read more

Worse place ever, scheduled a appointment for a oil change and they want me to leave the car for 4 hours, Midas or Jiffrey Lube here I come! Cindy up front is rude and very ignorant and cost me money. FYI I never requested to drive my vehicle in your bay, I'm not the only person in the area weary of your business practices and responses to your reviews read more

Quick and efficient service, unbeatable prices, and most importantly, trustworthy advice.

Rarely have I experienced such wonderful customer service at any place of business, let alone an auto shop. Everyone that I encountered at lifetime auto was genuinely happy to help, kind, and knowledgeable. They even have a shuttle service to take you to and from work, if you have to get your vehicle fixed during business hours! I was so impressed with the people working here. I will definitely be back, and recommend anyone with car troubles to do the same! read more

$4,600 down the tube! Worst experience ever! Do not trust Alex the owner of Lifetime Automotive at first he's super happy and caring and as soon as you need warranty work done he gets defensive and won't answer calls voicemails or internet communication (have recordings as proof). Took in my 2001 F250 that had a spark plug issue that can be solved with a permanent insert #24200 for Ford triton engines. Truck had a 254,000 so decided to get engine rebuilt told Alex about spark plug flying out 3 times before and wanted permanent insert. Said that he will talk to machine shop that he's been using for years to get permanent fix. Got truck back drove fine for 250 mile then started to misfire. Called Alex and he got defensive that nothing he did could cause a misfire and wouldn't pay for a tow. Told him I would pay for repair and tow if he found it no to be part of rebuild or install. Told me no. Told him I spent a lot of money for this engine. Alex then told me these words " $4,600 MIGHT BE A LOT OF MONEY FOR YOU BUT I LOST MONEY ON THIS JOB" after that comment I couldn't trust Lifetime Automotive to do an honest diagnosis. Had a friend that's a head mechanic at Yates GMC to hook it up to a computer with live read outs. Told me bank 2 running lean. Got home and found Helicoil temp insert all the way up on the spark plug threads burned to a crisp. Took it to Alex and he put the same exact $2 insert back in my engine. After he threatened to void warranty because I took out the spark plug to check why it was misfire. There is a lot more to this story that I will post to the BBB. BUT BASICALLY $4,600 AND I CAN'T DRIVE MY SON TO HIS BASEBALL GAMES WITHOUT WORRYING IF THE SPARK PLUG WILL FLY OUT ON A 0 MILE REBUILT ENGINE. Alex refuses to give me invoices of of work done to put insert back. Says he's not obligated to give me any paperwork. I'm in the process of taking them to court with all my evidence. Please search #lifetimeautomotivetempe for pictures and videos read more

Very pleased. Extremely impressed with the customer service and employees were very professional. Will definitely come back!

I get all of my cars serviced with Lifetime. I even send my friends and family to them. You will not find a friendlier staff, quality service, or quick turnaround. These guys get it done! read more

Our daughters' HVAC was not working in her Honda Civic. It was previously diagnosed. Bad Blower Motor Resistor. We informed the staff at Lifetime Automotive. We asked them to confirm, order the part, and do the work. One of the mechanics informed us they tested the HVAC Blower Motor and that too was bad. We received the estimate for the work. $182.35 for the HVAC Blower Motor Resistor, labor included, and $272.67 for the HVAC Blower Motor, labor included. We also asked for an estimate to replace the Rear Passenger Door Power Motor and Regulator Assembly. $260.32. In total, $715.34 plus taxes. We went home...located the existing HVAC Blower Motor, removed it and tested it. Since it's DC very easy to test. HVAC Blower Motor worked FINE! I was upset and saddened. So upset that I changed the parts myself. Blower Motor no change required! Resistor took 5 minutes to change! The Window Regulator did take 1.0-1.5 hours. We spent $122.62 plus tax in parts, saved $592.72 plus tax and the disappointment of being taken advantage of. Like FOX NEWS....we report....you decide. read more

I have referred many people to lifetime automotive. Single moms, businesses, and people I felt needed a trusted mechanic, they have made changes went from small to big have no answers and shoulder shrugs I def will no longer refer business here. read more

This place has got to be one of the most amazing, friendliest environment I've ever gone to. They don't pressure you into getting stuff done when it's not needed and don't sell you useless parts that your car doesn't even need. I 110% trust Mike and his guys to work on my car or any of my cars for that matter, I refer them to everyone they treat you like family and make sure you're taken care of:) read more

I've been going here for a couple of years and wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else... they're patient, efficient, and the pricing is always fair. They take the time to explain in detail what's needed and will answer a key persons questions with patience and lack of judgement. The customer se vice and commitment is really over and above the usual... even including courtesy rides and loaners. Cindy up front is great and Alex (the Boss) runs the place like a human being who truly cares about his customers, business name, and integrity. Not trying to lay it on too thick here... but really appreciate this business and hope they continue to thrive... it took forever to find a good mechanic! Give em a try! ----H read more

So I just had the best experience at this automotive shop. I wish I would have gotten the name of the guy who helped us because he was hands down fantastic. Explained everything, reassured us and just plain helped us with our issue. We are driving across the country and don't have time to leave he car but he helped as 110% with what he could. Honest shop! Take your car here! read more
