I have used this shop exclusively for 20+ years, since the days of ADS owned by Greg LaFontsee…read more Never had a reason not to go back. Now I have good reasons to abandon this loyalty. When Greg retired and sold ADS to TGK, the changes were subtle but not necessarily for the better. Personnel changes, operational changes etc. made me somewhat suspicious. I used to know who was the manager shop, who the service writers were, even the names of the certified techs who did the work. Then TGK, through a series of ownership changes became part of Sun Auto, a huge faceless corporation that emphasizes tire sales as opposed to automotive diagnostics. You can't go online anymore and directly communicate with anyone. All you can do is go through a chatbot, and the website no longer features bios of people that might be involved in maintaining your automobile. On my last visit in September 2025, it was recommended that the engine air filter be changed. I declined this and other recommended services. Recently I encountered a P0101 code indicating that either the MAF sensor needed maintenance or the air filter was dirty. In examining these components, I discovered that the last time the car was serviced, the air filter box was damaged and reinstalled carelessly without any mention of damage on the invoice. Missing screw, parts of air filter housing damaged, loose connections were discovered. I keep meticulous maintenance records, and no one other than TGK has ever done any work related to the air filter since 2016. I think the transformation from a small, performance-centric shop (ADS) to a large corporate tire seller (Sun Auto TGK) that does auto repair on the side is enough to make me start looking elsewhere for a reliable shop to perform diagnostics without harming my vehicles.

1 star is too much for TGK. Our classic car was towed into this shop by Wilhelm's auto in…read moreCarefree. A 2 week job turned into 6 weeks. Our car was in show like condition when it entered their facility. When we picked up it it was filthy with chipped paint on 2 panels. The white interior on driver and pax side was grey and carpets discolored. Wilhelm's auto wiped out inside for us. We contacted corporate to get our car fixed as neither Wilhelms nor TGK seemed concerned. The car was towed back to TGK in Chandler. Ryan is passing the blame on the person who originally painted the car in Oct '23. He's also saying a rock chipped the paint to metal on hood. That isn't true. We have before and after shots to prove the condition of the car. It's unacceptable that Ryan at TGK will not take responsibility or get the car back to the way it was when received. We're not asking for anything for free. Ryan lacks character to take responsibility for his actions or his workers. The radiator and radio work fantastically. For that we are pleased but the condition of the vehicle after the work is very disappointing. I would never recommend TGK or Wilhelms in Carefree. Corporate does seem to care but we have come to an impasse with this shop.

Shawn and Copperhead diesel were a god send for me…read more I had a mystery noise, I am from Northern Ca and was concerned about making the drive home so I called Copperhead and Shawn, who was completely swamped, still got my truck in. Come to find out the noise was it's own problem (and not detrimental for my drive) but my water pump was out (why are water pumps always out?!). Shawn gave me affordable options (as affordable as a damn diesel can be at least) and we found the best way to do the repair to make sure I made it home without going over kill. He could have over sold me, he could have tried to tell me I couldn't make it home without the whole project done (which of course I would have called BS on because I'm kinda snappy like that) and he could have also turned me away because his shop was so busy. Well no wonder the shop was busy because they are bad ass!

This shop wasn't the cheapest or most expen$ive, but they had the BEST reviews. I liked that they specialize in Toyota and Lexus repair.

I work the same hours so I had to take a day off. Overall great experience! I would Toyota-lly recommend this shop!

Yesterday my mother called this location to ask about parts because she prefers OEM on her car and…read moreSteve's daughter Shyra answered the phone and was completely rude and unhinged. This is why I always make my mother put her calls on speaker because Steve's wife(Rochelle) and daughter, for whatever reason, have a habit of lying about things and have pretty consistently bullied my elderly mother for years. So apparently the daughter lied and said that my mother cussed her out, which she would never do, so when we got here this morning Steve told my mother you can't come here anymore instead of calling her and canceling it and having the guts to do that knowing she would be driving all the way in from Flagstaff. The behavior from his family is something documented on Reddit in several threads about mechanics around Phoenix, yelp, and other parts of the Internet so it's incredibly easy to verify this information and since his wife and daughter are now answering all of the complaints posts on yelp, I'm very curious to see how they respond to my very honest review. I also have that phone call recorded so I might post it on YouTube and link to it here to expose the obvious lying by Steve's daughter and i'm taking it to another mechanic to have them look at the work that was just done on it with the water pump and timing belt to make sure it was done correctly. In the short time that I posted this review, several people reached out expressing how many problems they had at A1 auto and recommended two mechanics in Apache Junction and Mesa and I've already spoken to both on the phone and not only are their mechanics knowledgeable, but their office staff is spectacular!! I consider this a good thing because now we have better places to get car repairs done! This community on Yelp really comes together to help people when it's needed.

In addition to changing my oil they topped off all fluids, pumped up my tires a bit and recommended front brake pads in the future. I will definitely come back to this shop, they are great!!!
