I will do the best I can to follow the guidelines of Yelp. Here is my story/review. I own a 2000 Ford F250 that broke down in Bashas parking lot in Fountain Hills Az. My truck just would not start. I changed out both batteries in the parking lot, banged on the starter, and still nothing. Since Sun Devil Auto is basically in the same parking lot as Bashas and less than 100 yards away, I pushed/coasted my truck over to them. Jessica told me their hourly rate was 175.00 an hour and they could not diagnose my truck until the following day. I knew this hourly rate was extremely high for this area, but I did not want to pay for, or have to wait around for a tow truck to take it to Auto Whisperer, who normally does my work and I figured saving the tow cost, I would break even on the labor. WOW was I wrong. The following day, Jessica called me back and said my starter had gone bad and it needed replaced. Not thinking much of the cost for a starter and not being able to fix it myself, having left, out of town for business. I had them change the starter. WOW, what a mistake I made. I was charged a full hour for diagnosing a bad starter. I called Auto Whisperer and their labor book calls for a diagnose time of 20 minutes and a starter replacement of 45 minutes. I double checked labor times with Vinson/Haas and they were almost identical. Total time 1 hour 5 minutes for both diagnostic time and replacement time. At 175.00 an hour or 2.91 per minute, labor cost according to the labor manual should have been 190.00 dollars. Please see my pic below. My labor charges were 350.00 dollars. ABSOLUTE RIP OFF. The starter, as shown in the pic, was 408.99. For a Remanufactured starter, with a 2 year warranty, I called both Auto Zone and O'reilly Auto Parts for a price on a BRAND NEW factory replacement starter with a lifetime warranty. I was told by both 220.00 dollars. ALL STARTERS, AT BOTH STORES, COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THEY ARE BRAND NEW OR REMANUFACTURED. So my guess is I bought a lifetime warrantied starter, that Sun Devil Auto then knocked the warranty down to 2 years free replacement, so the next time I come in with a bad starter, THEY will then claim the lifetime warranty and then charge me double the cost of a REMANUFACTURED starter. I can't tell you (people reading this review) enough, stay away from this place. I could have changed the starter my self for $220.00 and saved $618.06. I could have towed it to Auto Whisper, had them replace the starter, and STILL WOULD HAVE SAVED 287.60. If you have money to waste/burn, and don't mind or care if your being taken advantage of, then by all means Sun Devil Auto is your place. If you live on a budget like we do, stay far, far, far way from Sun Devil Auto. If you found this review helpful, please hid the HELPFUL icon. That way I know that my review has helped someone. Thank you.

Waiting room for customers.

I worked with The store manager Gina on getting my truck back in working order and felt I was in good hands the entire time.

A real unicorn in Arizona! I had an issue with my Lexus that…read morenobody was able to diagnose correctly, I was recommended to go to Liberty and boy am I glad I did! Dom was honest with me, kept me posted, and the price was fair! Not only did the fix my car, but did everything to the highest standards. It is not always easy to find a good guy to fix your car (and I am a stickler about my car) but sometimes you get lucky in life and find that Unicorn. I have been living 14 years in Arizona and have been to many, many repair shops over the years. Unfortunately, most (about 90% of them) are only looking to make as much $$$ as they can off of you. Not with Liberty! Like I said.... Honest, Trustworthy, Highly Skilled and at a FAIR PRICE! This is the place to go with ANY car issues. I will never go anywhere else. A++++ I would give them 6 stars if I could.

This is hands down the best family owned automotive repair business. I called and asked for help…read morewith my car. The owner, Dom wanted to see the issue before wasting "MY TIME". So he drove out to my house the same day and did a personal analysis to help my car. He ended up telling me that I need to do something so cheap that we don't even need to use them. I have never had such trust worthy customer service. I own a lot of cars and are always worried with mechanics. Please look no further and check out Liberty Auto. I am speechless, he didn't charge me a penny and I will recommend and bring all of my cars to them until we die. 100% - 5 Stars - 10 out of 10
