Great customer service, bilingual, and professional! Did an oil change and was in and out. Great part was they were transparent with the process as well. Would definitely recommend! read more

I stopped in yesterday morning because I had an oil light come on. The tech checked my oil and said it was fine and the light was just telling me it's time to be changed and it was safe to drive it to work and back. I even scheduled a 3pm appointment for the change. When I left work the oil light came on again and then the check engine light came on so I immediately stopped my car. I checked the reviews online and made the decision not to take it there. The electronic message on my car said to take it to a mini service center. I called and cancelled my oil change and found another repair shop who had a mini technician and great reviews. The tow cost me $227 and the repair is going to run about $600. The mechanic at Garrigan's on Golf Links said my oil was 3 quarts low. With a mini there is a special way to check the oil. So the guy at Pima Automotive obviously had no clue. read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but this experience was so bad I feel obligated to warn others--especially anyone on a tight budget. I'm homeless and living out of my car, so every dollar matters. I called about getting my front brakes replaced because they were squeaking. The owner, Bob, told me I could save money by buying my own parts and that they would install them for $189 plus tax. Sounded fair--until I actually got the bill. I ended up being pushed into applying for EasyPay financing, and once everything was said and done my total was $602--on top of the $230 I spent on the parts myself. That's over $800 just for front brakes. To make matters worse, after waiting over 5 hours, they told me my car was ready. I drove off and within minutes the caliper literally fell off, seizing up my tire. They had to call a tow truck to bring it back. I had no car, nowhere to sleep, and ended up spending the night in a park because my car is my home. This shop took advantage of my situation and delivered unsafe, sloppy work. I would never trust them again, and I strongly recommend others stay away. read more

The total cost took me a bit by suprise. I needed four new tires. After only receiving a small advance on the sake of my condo, I just didn't quite have enough money so I gave them $500 and left it with them. Today, due to further complications in receiving the funds from the sale of the condo that my late father left to me, I called and told them that I would be in tomorrow morning. They called back to inform me that they are going to charge me $50 a day fir, "storage". The day that my vehicle was towed to them was a hot day so I had DoorDash deliver Jack In The Box shakes. Bummer, I thought that I had found a friendly, locally owned garage. I was wrong. I wrote my favorable review just a bit too fast didn't I? read more

After reconstructing their workforce they're giving prompt service, clear communication, affordable pricing and financing. Look past these bad reviews and try them for yourself. Completed a tire rotation, brake flush, oil change, and oil plug replacement. read more

The owner is an absolute crook! Do not bring your car here. They are as dishonest as it gets. You will not pay what they tell you up front service costs. Your out the door will probably be close to double what they tell you. Again, do NOT bring your car here. read more

Best way to test a shop is to have your lady bring your vehicle in. Not only did they try and sell her several things that weren't needed, like a $200 blinking light box for "pack rats" they actually took the time to throw a hand full of palm seeds in my air cleaner to justify their scam. I thought that was bad, then got my other vehicle back from them missing an amp and they tried buying the vehicle from my lady with a LOW, low ball offer and tried telling her how fair it was. Don't let a cheap oil change special fool you, it ain't your car they're lubing up. read more

I called ahead to make an appointment. I was quoted a price. They asked what vehicle had they even quoted back to me that my vehicle takes 7 quarts of oil when I went to get the service, they came back at me and told me that it takes two extra quarts of oil for a total of 7 quarts and it was going to be extra. It's no wonder this place has such a poor rating if you're looking for an honest and fair treatment and people to back up what they quote I don't recommend going here when they tried charging me extra. I said I will not pay any extra, but you could back my truck out and I'll take it from here. I find it sad that a neighborhood business like that feels like they have to try and bait and switch up sell. read more

Sorry place to go ,all I wanted was a quote to get my spark plugs change and the mechanic was very rude and an asshole ,will not go there if that coustomer service cause if that the way they treat people he would mess up the car very bad place to go .I want to give no star but the reviews had to make me give them 1 read more

My Honda Accord has needed a few pretty big repairs over the last couple of years, and Pima Auto has served me well. They've gotten my car in without waiting days or making an appointment. The auto techs I've dealt with there have been straightforward, congenial and highly professional. I've had no complaints about any of the work they've done (and neither has my Accord.) I appreciated the service my car received from Vinnie this last time, and owner Bob Boatner is a long-time Tucson pro. See you again, guys. read more

I wanted to support a small, local business but regret it now. They replaced the motor mounts and struts on my car. I feel every little bump now. The invoice was blank for info on the brand and/model number they used. I called several times to discuss this and was promised by Vinnie ( the front desk person) that they would get back to me with the info. I was even told the owner would call me, but never heard back. I also asked for him to email me the information to avoid any possible missed calls but have not received any information that way as well. Beware of their offer of being able to finance the work with no interest if paid off within three months. This ended up being a credit card that charges 149% interest if not paid off. I own my mistake as I misread it seeing 14.9% as surely 149% couldn't be correct. My bad. After realizing my mistake. I'm going to pay it off immediately, but it still felt misleading. Although their first impression is professional and trustworthy, they have proved the exact opposite. I now am taking it to a large franchise to find out why it runs worse. read more

My check engine light came on and O'reillys checked it and recommended a part for my car. I called my regular mechanic I've had over 10 years, not only could they not get me in that day also told me that they would not put my part on. A friend told me about Pima Automotive and they got me in right away. Vinnie arranged a ride home for me, stayed in touch with updates and found a couple other things going on. My car is driving fantastic and I now have a new mechanic. The older country music was a plus read more

Do not go to Pima Auto they will nickle and dime you. They charge a 3% on my credir card which I think is fraud. I already pay a percentage on my card. Certain things needed be done without showing. Get a true estimate before you get screwed to late for me. Lesson to be learned get it writing and look at all the charges. read more

This person is very nice and politely rips you off with a smile. Advertising "Oil change $12.00". But, did a basic oil change on a 2019 Chevy Spark and was changed $180.00! I fell for the AD on the side of street, on my way home from work. My bad I trusted this place, when I went back to my regular auto shop, I told them what happened they even said WTF! I advise if you need work done, don't fall for someone who is very nice and politely rips you off. I suggests, Motor works on Valencia. Best prices, without taking advantage of you. Just a little reminder, Jeffrey Domer was considered charismatic, charming and polite. read more

Pima auto worked on my Alfa Romeo and did a terrific job. Spark plugs and service plus maintenance codes cleared, something that my past two service jobs failed to do. I requested a new battery and they checked out current one and stated that it was in good shape. Will be taking my car back to Pima auto for future scheduled work. Highly recommended! read more

I bought all the parts for a timing chain they provided the labor which was 1475 dollars they had the car for about 4 days they call me saying car is ready to go I start it and start driving the car was worse now than it was before they tell me it must be something else causing the problem and saying they want 1000 dollars to look into the problem I told them I can't do that knowing they trying to milk me out of more money so car sat in storage for about a year I took it too transmission outlet owners name is Steve he checked it out and found out drivers side phaser was out 4 teeth and right side was slightly off said who ever fixed your car was the problem he had the car for 2 days had to change chain out he said it was stretched So Pima automotive never put my new chains in the car runs great now thanks for the quality work Steve does for transmission outlet read more

And my engine is running hard. DIDN'T EVEN DO THE OIL CHANGE.. read more

I've been coming to Bob for over seven years, and the service and work have been unmatched. However, the last couple of times I've taken my car in, it has been worked on by two different guys. Long story short, there was some miscommunication, then lying about the work. I called upset, and I went back to get the problem fixed only to have the same issue reoccur in a month. I have spent almost 3,000.00. I decided to find another shop. read more

;eware! Especially if you are a Woman. I was yelled at humiliated and disrespected over one defective tire. I left the shop in tears I was so mistreated. I purchased $600 worth tires last October and was told they were under warranty. Yesterday, my mechanic showed me a defect in one of the tires. This shop failed to honor what it promised to me. They initially said it was under warranty. An hour and a half later, the owner tells me he is going to charge me labor. Two hours in and he tells me he is prorated the tire! And then he charges me a fee I cannot afford. Three hours of my time wasted and I was honestly worried he might damage my car. I was very glad to leave his shop forever. read more

I was driving on a flat so, I pulled in. My car was immediately taken care of. They immediately took the tire off and voila, there was the nail in the tire. After the $15 tire diagnosis, I told the tire was not repairable. So I was sold a used tire. Long story short, I left there paying $84 for a used tire, . but, Vinny was amazing. read more

To be crystal clear: $12.95 oil change is an outright lie. Actual total cost: $54.68 I purchased my own oil and STP oil treatment at their recommendation, however, then I was told I had to pay $20 for labor, $4.95 for an oil filter, etc. So I spent $25 at Auto Zone and paid $29.37 for the oil change. It makes no sense. The owner tried to give me an excuse that my car is old and needs 10w30 oil, however, I provided them with 5 quarts of oil, everything except the oil filter. I had to ask for the remainder of my oil back too actually. I saw the owner try to hide it when the mechanic Vinny had left it on a chair by the car. Sneaky sneaky. Speaking of Vinny: he's the only reason this shop got 2 stars. He said I needed to replace an axle and showed me the damage while the car was on the lift. He is very personable, informative and shows a true dedication to his job and insuring the safety of a vehicle. Bait and switch kinda place. Unfortunately that qualifies them as being shady and I know shady shops. read more

Pima Automotive - $12.95 = $29.37 even when you bring your own oil - Auto Repair Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

I took my car in for the brakes to be fixed and they found a problem with the cv axle. They showed me the car jacked up. I'm not a mechanic at all. I want my family safe so I said yes. When we got the car back the bill was 3600$ and our skid plate was dragging on the street. I called them back and they said bring it back in. I did and they said they wouldn't fix because they lost a screw. Worst mechanics ever all they do is lie and now I have a car I'm not sure they did anything too. read more

Took our vehicle to get an estimate on removing a snapped hub bolt. We were quoted $250 for labor and parts. Later we were called to be informed that the vehicle had to be taken somewhere to have the bolt drilled out. We were NOT informed that there would be additional charges NOR were we asked if we approved the extra charges. Final bill was over $600+. And $19.95 for just one bolt when I can get 20 on Amazon for $35?? How would we have paid for this had we not had a credit card to back us up?? Total RIP-OFF!! Will not return to this business. read more

My car was broke in Arizona and veh was towed to shop for a diagnostic. Simple diagnostic with no resolution and they charged me 700 just for that and no itemize what was done. I will file BAR and better business beaureau at the later time. Just because I drive masarati and they charged me way higher just for diagnostic . At the end I have no choice to pay for a diagnostic which including swap battery to see if it is a issue but it was not. I have no choice by to tow this vehicle out as I truly believe they don't know how to fix or what going on with the car. I do not recommend this place to any one especially if u drive a newer car and I truly believe they will charge u more. This place is definitely not trust worthy and don't take your car here. read more

Ryan at Pima Automotive installed a customer-supplied part with less than 5 minutes notice, what was quoted a transmission failure from Toyota and $11K to fix was $150. Sure the bad reviews look like upsell opps but who cares he did great work. He's at the West branch read more

I had a great experience up until it wasn't. Came in for an oil change once they got it in the air they asked me to look it over with them. This is where they up sell. I knew the exact condition of my car considering I work for an automotive parts factory and other family in the industry. I told him " no worries, I know what is wrong with it" that's when he stated " we can't do an oil change with your axles in this condition." He was serious. I may not know how to loop swoop and pull my own laces but I do know axles have nothing to do with an oil change. this level of up selling is disgusting. if I wasn't as knowledgeable I would have been completely taken advantage of read more

Took my 21 year old car in for a once over after doing the same at another location a year or two ago. They identified all the same issues, and fixed them at a very reasonable price!! I've definitely found my new mechanics! Highly recommended! read more

Bob is super rude I wrote a positive review for Vinny but Bob wanted 200$ for a diagnostic when I already knew what was wrong with the vehicle. Each phone conversation and in person conversation he had an aggressive tone and didn't want to hear what I was saying. Don't recommend this place anymore. read more

I had my oil changed there again today but it will be the last time. They overcharged me on a filter. Every time I go in there I always feel like they are not honest . The sign says 29.99 for an oil change but today it costs me 83 dollars. And all I got was an engine filter replaced. What a rip off. I would not recommend this place especially if you are a woman. read more

Quick service, very professional. I'd recommend!Bob and his team are responsive and insightful. Identified the problem with my car quickly and fixed while I waited. read more

I went in with the expectation that this was a legit business. That they would honor their commitment to fixing the issues I was having with my vehicle. It was supposed to be a simple fix with a new gasket for a leaking oil problem. They convinced me that they could fix it and that they would back their work. Not the case in either situation. Initial estimate was $170. They called about an hour later and said that if I wanted to truly fix the issue that they would have to replace the other gasket which was the actual oil leak issue. When I asked about the cost they said that it would be another $110. I asked, "Why didnt you fix that one and not the other gasket first if that was the one that was the issue?" Their reply, "We didnt look at it before we did the work." That is when I should have run! Instead, I figured you have the car, fix it! Oh they fixed it alright. My car was losing 1 qt. of oil per 5000 miles. At $5 per qt. I could have driven 300,000 miles before justifying the expense they hit me with for the repair work. Shortly after picking the car up there was oil all over the engine bay. I figured it was poor workmanship, cleaned it up, and drove my car for the next few weeks. I always check my oil levels every other time I fill up with gas. Again I noticed oil all over the engine bay. This time I took it back to Pima Auto Care Center to have them assess the issue. It had been less than 1000 miles since they "fixed" my car. I was told I had a 10,000 mile guarantee or 1 year on their work. They called me about an hour later informing me that it would cost me another $300 to fix this issue. They had cracked the plate where they replaced the gasket and, I'm leaking/spraying oil all over the engine bay. I asked them how this happened and they claimed that it wasnt their fault, they wouldn't honor their commitment to fixing my oil leaking issue and that they "could" fix this issue for another $300. I understand the world of Bait & Switch as well as being an informed customer. This shop is not to be trusted. I dealt with the owner personally and told him I felt this was either negligence or incompetence and that they would never work on my vehicle or anyone I knew. He reply was, "Your car is old, things break, but we can fix it." I told him it wasn't broken prior to you working on the car, why should I pay you to fix something that wasnt broke prior to my arrival at your shop? He asked, "what kind of deal could we work?" I still lose the same amount of oil I was losing prior to their service, just from a different place. Disgusted at the response to the poor workmanship and severe incompetence. Never again! read more

I wish I could give 0 stars! I was told my oil change for my vehicle which take a synthetic blend would cost $16.95. Well long story short they are liars!!! I got there and was told my car requires full synthetic! My car has NEVER had full synthetic. So needless to say my $16.95 oil change turned into $72!!! Absolutely ridiculous! What kind of business is this! I did speak to Vinny the first time and he was great! However the other gentleman that checked me in basically fed me a line of BS! I would not recommend this business to anyone! read more
