Search the alternator online and you'll find it's less than half the cost - An auto repair invoice from Sun Devil Auto in Phoenix, AZ, listing vehicle details, service performed, and costs, including alternator replacement.

My daughters car broke down just before I had to fly out. She's a student in Phoenix. We experienced an issue with her car and knew it was a charging issue because the light on the dash and it clicked when we attempted to start it. It was the end of the business day and I had less than an hour to attempt to fix it before my flight. I Ubered over to the local auto parts store, purchased a battery and put it in. It was good, for 5 minutes when my daughter called to tell me the light was back on. Since it was after 5p, and I didn't think we could handle it in time, I had her park it and told her I would help find a reputable shop close in the area the next day so she could attempt to drive to with the new battery. Sun Devil was within a mile, so we decided to chance it as it's an 2003 Mazda Tribute. After assessing Sun Devil Auto and contacting them, they said they could take it in, so I sent my daughter over. They said they'd have to assess the issue and tell me what the cost would be. They called me to tell me that they suspected the alternator. Makes sense based on what I know of cars. They quoted me $425. That is DOUBLE the going rate for an alternator for a 2003 Mazda Tribute. Search online to see that for yourself. I called them out on it and they said they would get in more in line on the final bill. I approved the work to replace the alternator even though their labor and assessment were quite a bit higher than I've ever paid for any automotive service. They called later that day and said it would be ready. There was no discount for the alternator or any services when my daughter showed up. That's okay, I'll overpay, but do yourself a favor and don't do what I did. As a shade tree mechanic, I am fully aware of what things cost. While I understand some markup on parts, these shops usually get discounted rates and they chose to charge me double the standard going rate even after I made them aware of it. The fact that they charged me double the going rate of the alternator in the end and didn't take good care of us when they could've is a testament to how they operate. They were and are unfair in their practices. I would have loved to have provided them with a more positive rating, but it was far from deserved. Also, they do not take credit cards over the phone, so if you are out of town and your student needs their car, they'll need to have a physical card of some sort in order to finalize their transaction and pickup their car.

Something was connected here when I had the car - A car engine with dust and dirt on its components, including hoses, a battery, and engine parts, is shown in this image.

Don't recommend this place for luxury brands , especially mini coopers, they charged me over $1000 just to get it running, and then left my engine compartment in a mess, forgetting to put some of it back together and I even got a free tool out of it, and then the car was back in the ground a week later. Needless to say I won't be back.

See all

I looked for a good auto glass shop, my insurance was sending me by default to their competition…read morebut I refused to go, and after reading some horrible reviews, installation issues, horrendous non-existent customer service, there was no way I was taking my car there. Let me start by stating that Tara out of the Provo office was outstanding from the time we had email exchanges to the time I arrived and took care of my car. Not only was she amazing but so where the crew, diligent, professional, courteous and efficient. The reservation, the repair and replacement including calibration was done with expertise and extremely quickly even if my car had all the bells and whistles on it. All I can do honestly is praise the service and work they performed. Their prices were competitive, and best of all you are supporting a small locally owned family business that take huge pride in their work, something you do not see in big box organizations. If you look elsewhere good luck. Would I recommend them, hands down in a heartbeat. They fixed my fully loaded Audi Allroad, and I will be back to see them to get my other car windows tinted. You get service, really people, a great family oriented business and support your local community, what more can you ask for. Thank you Prime Autoglass, I 100% recommended them to everyone. I never post but after my experience I had to share with everyone.

Awesome job on my time military discount installation went as smooth as possible would definitely…read morerecommend this company

This is the third time I have called on American Warrior…read more The second time in just one week. Carissa, who answers your call, is super to work with. She gets back to you quickly, provides answers to your questions, gives quotes on OEM and after-market products, and schedules appointments. On every occasion she got us appointments that worked great for me in regards to day and timing. I mean almost immediate appointments were scheduled after receiving some good news -a quote that was easily $100 lower than a competitors price for the passenger window. A few hundred dollar difference for the windshield too. I only learned that when I was mistakenly provided a windshield replacement and calibration quote from competitor when I had asked for price on passenger window. On both recent occasions the service actually came directly to my location. Ryan called as anticipated, notified me how far out he was and arrived within the time expected. From start to finish he got the damaged glass removed, replacements installed, finishing the repairs, then wrapping up by processing payment. Polite and professional all the way. For the windshield, it had been completed on Wednesday the prior week. Caleb, of the Calibration Crew, called to notify me he was on his way shortly after the installation was finished. He was given keys, took vehicle for a drive around the area and was prompt in completing the calibration process. This included in the price of replacement/repair. 5 * for Prompt, Same Day, Service and Competitive Pricing.

After three attempts across two different appointments, they could not properly tint my windshield…read more They blamed it on a vehicle manufacturer defect! They wanted me to come back a THIRD time to have one of their "better" installers do the work, but I accepted a refund and sincere apology instead. The first time I was in, the installer soaked my armrest so badly it made my shirt wet and caused damage to the arm rest material. A different company had zero problems and took a fraction of the time at a lower cost. I personally asked the installer for the different company if there was anything difficult and he looked at me confused. He said there was no problem tinting the windshield. Therefore, I feel like Xclusive lied to me and was using subpar installers. The only positive thing to share is that the tint on my side and back windows came out nicely.

Tried out a new glass company as we always want to keep things local as much as possible. Sometimes…read morethat can prove to be difficult when things go badly and companies don't do what they say. It ruins it for all smaller outfits but we took a chance again and glad we did. Xclusive auto glass was extremely easy to work with very communicative and professional. Technicians arrived on time and finished all vehicles in a timely manner though we had given them all day. Will definitely be recommending this company to anyone that asks or sees the clear difference in our new glass windshields
