This is a two part review. First , these guys are what everyone says; they a professional, thorough, and know what they are doing. I highly recommend them if you need extensive repairs. This is not the auto shop for minor repairs or for people who have to watch their budget. My car stopped. I thought it was my alternator. The battery didn't seem to be holding a charge. I had taken out and had it tested and the auto parts place had told me I needed a new alternator. I had Pheonix come and get it. They were quick and responsive and all I needed was a new battery that ended up costing me 782 dollars after towing and the 149 dollar diagnostic. I would use them again for any MAJOR issue, but I'll never return for anything I even suspect is a minor repair. Nearly a thousand bucks for a battery seems excessive. read more

This is the best place to go to with any car troubles! Joe and the rest of his team were so efficient, communicative, and helpful when I had to bring in my Jeep. I'll be recommending Phoenix Auto to everyone! Thank you again! read more

Fantastic service!! Called and scheduled a oil change. In and out within 30 min. While this may not be the typical time frame, depends on how busy they are like any other place, they accommodated me. I greatly appreciate you all there! I will be back with my other vehicles. read more

We needed to have our front windshield replaced while traveling from Virginia. The staff was very courteous both on Yelp and in person, and made sure they had the correct replacement. Our estimated wait time was three hours, but since we opted to wait, the job was done in under an hour! Yes, you might find a better price, but you won't find a more qualified and reliable company to do the job right the first time. Highly recommended. read more

I needed a tuneup to my Honda CRV. The dealer was overpriced so I looked to yelp for recommendations. Phoenix auto has great reviews and is 3 miles from my house. I called, set an appointment and dropped off my car. Joe kept in communication with me throughout the process. He gave me a quote on the work I requested and they did a full diagnostic. I am very pleased, my car is running tip top. The price was high but it is necessary maintenance and I had confidence that they would get the job done right. They are my new car service go to. read more

I had high hopes, but the communication was just too consistently negligent. I took my car in on a Thursday because the check engine light came on, and they said they'd get to it first thing Friday morning. I called Friday for an update, and he said I was next in line and to not call back as he would call me as soon as the diagnostic was done. I stressed that I needed my car that day as I know they're closed on the weekend. He never called that Friday, so I left a voicemail to call me ASAP because I needed my car for the weekend. When they opened again Monday, the morning came and went with still no call, so I dropped in. He said he never got my voicemail nor recalls talking on the phone, yet miraculously had an update on my car -- to which I wasn't notified until this drop-in. He proceeded to tell me my coolant pump was leaking and it was entirely empty of coolant when they checked it, so they ordered a new pump. After taking yet another lyft home, I received and read through the mechanic's inspection which said there were NO leaks and the coolant was at a good level. I called back asking for clarity, to which the guy backpedaled on what he said as I gradually corrected him against what was said in the mechanic's notes. He finally admitted he never read the notes. I just wasted a lot of time and Lyft rides due to the bad communication, so I urge people to read the inspection and repeatedly call/drop in if you insist on using this auto shop. read more

I was traveling from Ky to Atlanta and my dash indicated transmission issues and recommended immediate attention. Chat GPT recommended Phoenix. Upon arrival the intake person was very accommodating and helpful. It took about 5 hrs to repair my vehicle. They were very thorough in their explanations, showed me pictures, contacted my warranty company and their attention to customer service was beyond expection. I got hungry and asked for a place to walk to, to get food. The intake person, brought me 1/2 of his own sandwich, chips and yogurt as well as a comfy chair to sit outside and eat. Upon completion every person exceeded ALL my expectations toward a customer they'd probably never see again. I'm 74 and have been driving 58 years. NEVER have I ever seen such amazing customer service. Thank you to each and every one of you that assisted me so kindly and curterously. You guys were AMAZING! Cecilia Tucker read more

Updated to reflect the current situation of our repair with phoenix... The good: I can honestly say they care about the integrity of their business and will follow up to make things right. The bad: it was too pricey for us and they charged a steep diagnostic which is not deductible from the repair bill. The hourly rate is also pretty steep. This is only our opinion and we respect their business tactics. (Thank you for calling and making it right). The ugly: traffic in Nashville! read more

I made a service request on the weekend and received a response within 10 minutes. I am a repeat customer. They diagnosed my vehicle and let me know what was needed before any work began. These folks are very professional. I highly recommend them. Kudos to a job well done! read more

So great. Professional- yet don't feel like you're going to get ripped off. My daughter's car was a mess but they were honest with what needed repairing most! New to TN so we will be using them for all our cars now! read more

Phoenix disguises piracy with a veneer of professionalism. Located near downtown and suitable only for high-income people with little sense and less vehicle knowledge. I took my vehicle in for a bad sensor. Fixed-price diagnostic - which is applied to each item you ask to be investigated - is $169. I had a rear door that wouldn't open. After the diagnostic charge they quoted another $400+ to replace the latch mechanism. I smelled a rat. The fix turned out to be a $5 part and an hour of my time. They replaced the sensor but at a high cost. Find a smaller, less elaborate shop in a lower income part of the city and you'll get honest service for less money. read more

I love this shop ! Their work is such of the best quality and their level of professionalism is amazing! They recently did my brakes and fixed some sensor issues on my little bmw i3 ! And she is driving amazing again ! Thanks guys! read more

I had an oil change on 21 ford ranger . They were awesome very informative, excellent service

I had a CEL and the dealership was booked up for weeks, so I started searching for local mechanics. Phoenix was the first one that came up because of their great reviews. I saw that they took walk-ins and so I called in to confirm and spoke with Joe, who told me to come on in. Well, they were able to quickly diagnose the problem (rodents chewing engine wiring) and were soooo incredibly nice through the process. Johnny and Plummer showed me pictures of what the wiring looked like and how the repair would happen. They have an online status which gives you a bunch of real time details, reasonable labor rates ($40/hr less than the dealership), clean waiting room, easy drop-off/pick-up process and everyone was just amazing. The cherry on top was the work being finished a full day early! I can't recommend Johnny, Joe and Plummer enough! Thanks so much guys! read more

This is my second time coming to Phoenix auto repair and I was bowled over again by the customer service. These guys really go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and understand what needs to be done to your car. And as a woman, I do not take this lightly! They have a nice little air-conditioned waiting room, they provide a link to your phone with status updates on your car service process, and I've never had to wait more than an hour or so for any service. They definitely prioritize appointments made online or ahead of time. Highly recommend!! read more

My college aged daughter has been in Nashville for all of 4 weeks. After experiencing ice and snow for the first time, she happened to find herself in a fender bender. We had no idea which auto repair shop to go with. After asking around we were told to call Phoenix Auto Body. Johnny took care of us and treated my daughter like one of his own. I watched in the wings from 2000 miles away as he helped her to navigate the real world in dealing with her directly for making arrangements to bring the car in, discuss the damage, set up transportation, etc. Their turn around time on ordering parts without mark-ups and completing the work all happened within a week and he delivered on his promise of when the car would be ready for pick up. These guys are beyond professional and even more so, they are friendly, honest and genuinely good people who care about you and do an amazing job and take pride in their work. I cannot thank Johnny, Matt and Joe enough. I hope we don't have to go back (lol!) but if we do Phoenix Auto Body is who we will be bringing our car to!! read more

Been here multiple times these guys know what they are doing and do phenomenal service. I recommended them to quite a few of my friends. I drive a older 32 year old car and bring it here when it needs service I'm 100% sure these guys can fix anything. Visit Greg in the front for a laugh that will make your day And a smile. Daniel the owner is very knowledgeable on the workings of a car and knows what he's doing. Kalid is straight to the point and direct he's very personable. All very reliable people you can trust. - Mike read more

Phoenix Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Many thanks to the amazing team at Phoenix for replacing our Subaru's engine after it died on our road trip. We were stuck, and they got to us quickly with affordable solutions. Were it not for these other outstanding Yelp reviews, we never would have found them, so I'm leaving one as well to pay it forward! read more

Felt like we were taken advantage of while we were traveling. I flew to Nashville to meet my daughter (who also traveled about 350 miles to Nashville) it was her car that needed the service for the trunk not latching. I would never recommend this business. We were specific with what we needed / wanted repaired. They completed their assessment which included other recommended repairs of which we were not looking for. We only wanted the trunk latch repaired as it had suddenly frozen up and would not latch. We ended up being charged $199.73 for the initial evaluation and then charged almost $425.06 additional dollars (total paid was $624.78) for the repair/new parts and labor for a trunk latch, Incredibly disappointing. The repair shop was off Calhoun Ave in Nashville. Unfortunately since My integrity is in now question, i have included a photo of what I paid for the trunk latch repair. I just felt like others should be aware of our unfortunate experience in hopes they can avoid a similar one. We just did not ask the right questions and then were already $200 committed and disappointed it would end up costing over three times that amount. read more

I had scratches all over my car Camaro they took my money after I cancelled my membership zero zero

First, let me say: I don't leave Yelp reviews. I read 'em, but I don't write 'em. So don't be concerned about the fact that I don't have a million reviews or likes to my username. I feel I need to write one here because I just can't say enough good things about Joe and the team at Phoenix. Our daughter moved to Nashville from California only three weeks before our car just up and died one day. The dashboard alerts all lit up like a Christmas tree, and after pulling over, it wouldn't even start. Well, the dealership would not even take a look for two weeks... and since nobody in our family knows a single soul in the whole state of Tennessee, we couldn't ask around for recommendations. So I ended up here on Yelp and I took a chance on Phoenix. I'm glad I did! Joe answered my call and gave me a fair estimate of the costs to take a look at the car. He even lined up a rental car for our daughter. When they didn't solve the mystery as quickly as they expected, he called and outlined the additional costs for more sleuthing (costs which were *totally* reasonable, by the way). He communicated well throughout, and I never, ever felt that I was hit with any surprise costs. He also explained things very well, without patronizing -- as a woman, I really appreciated that. Perhaps best of all, he was very accommodating about letting our daughter keep the rental car longer than originally expected, since she didn't have any other way to get to work. In the end, we needed an entirely new hybrid battery and elected not to do the repairs because it was just too expensive compared to the value of the car. Joe counseled me through this like a pro, and was extremely honest about the costs. Knowledgeable, well-spoken, friendly, fair and honest... I mean, that's the dream in a repair shop, right? My daughter may not know many people in Nashville yet, but she does know a good mechanic. read more

Twice, I have taken two of my vehicles here, and these guys never disappoint. For services (inspection, electrical, exhaust) needed for my Focus and Mustang, Daniel and his crew were very knowledgeable in addressing the issues in a timely manner. Pricing is set reasonable rates. The friendly atmosphere this facility provides is what makes going to the shop less of a chore, but rather a therapeutic reason to drive your car over. Thanks guys! read more

Was quoted $4500 including $100 for wiper blades. Another reputable place in the area did all of the fixes for $2000 and noticed that my engine was leaking oil (and was low); not sure how phoenix missed this significant issue. Very confused as to why this place is rated so highly. Charged $200 for the diagnostic which missed the engine oil leak read more

Yes. Had to replace intake manifold on Dodge Challenger. Fair quotes and fast service. Was satisfied would use their services again.

While my (what used to be) mechanic quoted me $1650!!! to get my a/c to work, Phoenix Auto blew me away and saved me dearly by just fixing a leak in my ac somewhere. He also recharged it and filled the Freon back up so now I have at least one vent able to push through enough cold to be lifesaving. I mean yeah, if you really have to drive without ac the then you do. But summer is still just on the verge of the real heat and if you happen to be driving while it's 95° out with a dew point of 70° and it begins pouring down rain...you have to roll up those windows...at which point the temperature in your car can easily get up to 120°! If you're sensitive to heat already, that's just a heatstroke waiting to happen. I realize it's worst case scenario, but if that happens, and you pass out while driving, it could be a life or death situation. And the best part? He only charged me $200! I never thought my last mechanic would do something like that with me; he actually fixed a couple of things for free! But I guess he'd had enough of my fixed income status...and gave me a $1650 estimate to actually replace all three sections of the ac instead of being nice enough to just fix the leak instead of replacing everything! I'm pretty sure I've (hopefully) found my new go to mechanic! Thank you Pheonix! read more

~~Attention to any person with car trouble or in between trusted auto shops, LOOK NO FURTHER YOU FOUND THE PLACE~~ I am new to Nashville and new to the game it is purchase a car. Naturally, both processes have been chaotic, but when I came across Phoenix's raving reviews online, I knew then and there I had to call them up and catch a vibe as to who they are. And all I can say about that initial introduction on the phone, is that there was so much warmth and genuineness coming from Johnny. He assured me that he and his crew would find any hiccups and be as transparent as possible to ensure that I would be making the right call with any decision moving forward. Not only did they go through my whole 'Carfax' with me but also gave me helpful tips for what I can look out for with my car model as far as issues I'm likely to see in the future. And if that wasn't enough, Johnny also helped me to get the price of my vehicle lowered by sharing specific key terms with my car dealership. On top of that, I was expecting to sit in their lounge for 2-3 hours for my pre-purchase vehicle inspection to be completed, but to my absolute surprise it took 20-30 minutes. In essence, if you are looking for a genuinely kind auto shop, whose employees and returning clientele seem like family, where your time is valued, honesty is valued, and prices affordable then find yourself over at Phoenix. Thanks fam! read more

Needed to have my brake pads and rotors replaced quickly and they squeezed me in the next day and finished the inspection and repairs by the end of the business day. Awesome service and they went above and beyond. read more

I was so happy to find this place! They replaced my car battery in less than 30 minutes, even had to order it and it was there the next day. They also checked my tires for me and explained their condition. I believe they are trustworthy which I always worry about. You can tell from talking to them, but also they didn't try to sell me new tires when I wouldn't have known the difference.They are friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend them! read more

great communication which is a key for me. a professional company, high standards and know what they are doing. read more

This shop does excellent work for a great price. They get your car in and out in a fast manner and they fix Imports as well as domestics. 10/10 read more

Staff were friendly and helpful on the phone. I was kept informed throughout the entire process, great communication. Staff made picking up the car after-hours easy using the key box option. read more

I want to thank Joe for all he has done. I took my car to Lexus of Nashville for a brake issue that I had. I brought the car used but, I know I have a good car. I took the car first to Lexus of Nashville for the issue. After a quick diagnostic test, I got the call that change my life. It would cost me $4762.14 to fix the issue. For those of your like me, I know a little about cars, but not a whole lot about pricing. I even asked, "Why replace something that's not broken?" The technician at the Lexus dealer stated, " because I might bring it back in two months when the pump goes out." Now here's where you need to stop using Google to look for the best of anything. Start using Yelp. I searched on Yelp for " Best Lexus repair shop near me." The first place that popped up was PHOENIX AUTO REPAIR. After reading the reviews both good and bad, I decided to give them a try. Here's when Joe Villazon comes in. The more questions I asked, the more he came back with the answer I was looking for. Very very professional. I took my car there and 48 hours later after the first inspection, my brake issue was cause by the mechanic I originally had looking at my car, he had placed the part back and did not set the code. Yes people, a code. The charge ( See Pic). Thank you Joe and thank you PHOENIX AUTO REPAIR. I DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK. read more

Phoenix Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

See all

I ended up not doing the repair but they were polite and responsive to my questions. Wouldn't hesitate to use them.

Wow - what a great group of helpful, friendly people they have at Phoenix Auto! An appropriate name, I think, because when my car broke down on a road trip to Nashville, they revived it when I wasn't sure that was possible. And they did the work very quickly (within a day!) which was an enormous relief. As another reviewer mentioned, they do charge a diagnostic fee up front but I think this is fair because they do a very thorough evaluation and need to be paid for their time and expertise. You then have the opportunity to review and approve or decline each of the services/repairs they recommend. While they might be a bit more expensive than our regular auto shop back at home, they really went above and beyond to assist and reassure me in a difficult, stressful situation. I really appreciate all that they did to get me back home quickly and safely! read more

Great customer service. Joe took his time to explain to me in detail what the diagnostic test found. They were also honest and upfront. I'll be back! read more

We took our daughter's VW Tiguan to Phoenix Auto. They were very responsive, qualified, competent and most of all priced very fairly.

My husband brought in a used car we were looking to buy to have it checked here. They worked us in quickly and the mechanic, I believe the owner, was super helpful and detailed. He checked the car over really thoroughly, took it for a test drive, and based upon the information he provided we were able to get a deal on the car and some things fixed that we would not have otherwise known to ask for. Really pleased with our experience here. read more

Highly recommend Phoenix! They did a great job on my suspension repair and alignment, they were excellent with their communication and explanations of the services, and they charged a very reasonable price. They answered every question I had and walked me through every detail of the process. Will definitely come back! read more

My experience with Phoenix was great! They're very transparent, communicate with you through the entire process and are honest which is a very rare thing in the automotive repair field. My experience with Firestone I can't say the same for and Firestone actually made me dread dealing with car repairs hence the need to find some place else to go to. They also definitely offer great value for your money and I was more than satisfied with my repairs. I intend on using them for as long as I remain in Nashville. read more

Honest Auto Repair shop which is hard to come by. The protective skid plate on the bottom of my prius came loose when forging some Nashville flood weather. This casused some plastic on the bottom of my car to drag on the ground so I wanted to get it fixed immediatley before it got worse. Gage was super helpful and asked one of the technicians to help me out while I was in a pinch. Nolan was kind enough to help me after hours and get my prius back in action. The labor was conservatively quoted at an hour and they kindly reduced it to the amount of time it to to reinstall the bottom protective layer which was awesome! Needless to say I will be coming back for any other auto repair. This place is a little pricey on the labor, but they are honest about the time spent! read more
