    I brought my Nissan pickup to Mach-1 Automotive because I was hearing an intermittent scraping sound. While it was on the lift, Greg (service writer) should me that the driveshaft carrier bearing was worn out, he felt that was the cause of the noise. I was given a price and then gave the okay to replace it. Driving home after the repair, I felt an awful vibration above 40mph. Once I was home, I slid under my truck and found (first picture). I knew that wasn't right! I brought it back the next morning and showed Greg the picture, and he agreed. So they replaced it again, (second picture). Driving home, this time I felt a vibration between 30-40mph. I brought it back again and I tried to get Greg to take a ride with me so he can see for himself, but he wanted the mechanic to go instead, the same one that didn't think there was a problem after installing the first bearing. I brought it to a shop that only does driveshafts, they told me that you need to be very careful with driveshafts because they can be damaged quite easily. He showed me some marks on it where it looked like it was placed into a vise. Unfortunately, he didn't have the attachment that would fit my model Nissan in order to test it. So, he advised me I'd be better off to buy a new driveshaft, (I didn't purchase it from them so they had nothing to gain). I also had to purchase and replaced the six bolts that attach the driveshaft to the differential because the Mach-1 mechanic thought 9/16 are the same as 14mm. I am unable to prove that they damaged the driveshaft, but the least they could have done is refund what I paid them since everything they did is now in the city dump, or hopefully in a recycle bin.

    One of the best and most refreshing car-buying experiences we've had. The entire team at Ken Garff…read moreKia Bell Road was fantastic. Jonathan, our salesman, was awesome from the beginning. He was responsive, straightforward, patient, and never made us feel pressured. The sales manager really went above and beyond for us and deserves a ton of credit. He worked with us to make the numbers and all the extras come together and genuinely made us feel like he wanted to earn our business. That made a huge difference in our experience. The finance guy was great as well. Everything was explained clearly, the paperwork was easy, and there was no uncomfortable pressure. The dealership itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. From sales to management to finance, everyone treated us extremely well. We left feeling great about the entire experience and absolutely love our new Carnival. We would definitely buy from this team again!

She's very funny, real, and easy going and made the process much more enjoyable for us. Our experience with her specifically was excellent, separate from the financing side of the purchase which we understand was not under her control. On the other hand, George, the guy responsible for documents, financing, and selling warranties...absolutely terrible. If this were a separate review I'd give 1 star. He came across as extremely insincere, impatient, and condescending. He laughed at my dad and I multiple times when we asked questions and shrugged off the questions or gave incomplete responses. Only to take a minute, look stuff up, then actually answer. This made the entire interaction extremely uncomfortable and made it difficult to have a productive discussion about the warranty options. He also rushed us through signing the documentation. When we stopped to ask what exactly we were signing, he would essentially just read us the title of the section rather than actually explain what it meant. Be wary and do your own research on warranties beforehand, because based on our experience, George definitely won't be helping you understand what you're buying. This dealership sells warranties through Kornerstone, and he initially tried to sell us their Standard coverage for $2,800. After we questioned and negotiated the warranty pricing, that number came down significantly. Ironically, my dad and I were genuinely interested in exploring the warranty options and would have happily discussed paying for better coverage. Had we been working with someone more patient and informative, that conversation probably would have gone very differently. Instead, his attitude made it nearly impossible to comfortably ask questions or properly compare what we were being offered. 5 stars because of G and the rest of the team being wonderful.

    I cannot possibly give a better review of Michael and Auto Obsession. I found myself between a rock…read moreand a hard place when my car was totaled after someone had stolen my catalytic converter and knocked about the electrical components in the engine compartment like they were scrambling eggs. This happened while I was in the middle of refinancing my home. As a result, I couldn't apply for any credit, and after closing, there was enough up-in-the-air about my credit history that I was having trouble finding a loan despite never having missed a payment and having a lower debt to income ratio. Michael was empathetic, and with a down payment and signed purchase order, was willing to hold the car I picked until the dust around the mortgage had settled. Thankfully, this didn't end up being necessary because he connected me with an incredible banker at SunWest Credit Union who got me a loan at 3.69%. On top of that, he took care of a minor alignment issue and some of the upcoming regular maintenance at no extra cost, and offered to have have the car detailed again, despite how incredibly clean it was. Michael didn't have to do any of this. He could have told me to kick dirt, and even if he held the car, he could have let me deal with the added cost of a high interest loan for a few months and the upcoming maintenance I was expecting to pay for anyway. The fact is, he went well beyond what should be reasonably expected of a car dealer to not simply sell a car, but to help someone in a tough spot by no fault of their own get back on the road. This experience provides a good understanding of the quality of the product Michael wants his customers to leave with, but is also a great testament to his character. Sheila at SunWest also couldn't stop talking about how great Michael is. Seriously, give this man your money. I have nothing but positive things to say about this car buying experience.

Service Writer Wayne was very friendly, asked a lot of questions, and assured me they would diagnose the problem. After Technician Randy checked out the transmission (no codes, shifted normal, etc.), I was asked to accompany Randy on a test drive. I was unable to duplicate the intermittent issue either. After explaining what he checked and answering many questions, I was convinced there was no more that the dealer could do at this time. Wayne told me there would be no charge for the diagnosis since they did not find a problem; that's integrity. While in the shop they also did a free inspection and sent me a video used to document the inspection. My bake pads had only 2-3 mm of pad left (in the Red), so I had them replace all 4 pads and resurface the rotors. In my opinion, the cost was very competitive with brake specialty shops in Phoenix. Wayne and Randy both get 5's in my book!

The first time the service was great and they even gave me a loaner car without even having to ask. The second time I brought my car in they wanted to charge me $500+ for a new battery -- I promptly said no and got a battery from O'Reilly's. Then after leaving Chapman's from the service -- my parking break light keeps coming on. I brought it back to them and they said they fixed it but a day later the lights are coming back on. I brought my car there again and they said they fixed it but no -- lights are still on. Annoying and $700 later. The service guy is very friendly but somehow I feel like I am being ripped off. I will probably still take it there because it is very convenient (I took the car to a place in Scottsdale but it took forever and is not close).
