I called them this morning and asked about a tire fix for a slow leak and emissions testing; while they don't do emissions testing, if ever I have a problem I am confident they would be able to fix it! The staff were professional, efficient and knowledgeable. They told me to come in asap bc they had a window of opportunity to look at and repair my tire, and they kept their word;even showed me the culprit of my slow tire leak. I was so relieved and grateful; they are a great value and I will be back for any and all future repairs I may need. They check all my boxes! PS. They also recommended an emissions testing place that was impeccable as well! read more

Friend was visiting me and told me she thought she had a leak in her transmission fluid hose. She went to Tucson Mountain Motors, which is close to our home, to have it replaced. It turned out that a new rack and pinion was needed. Additionally, her new starter failed. Pete (owner) contacted the company that had sold her the starter and got a replacement for free. He said the rack and pinion was labor intensive and he wasn't sure he could get hers replaced before the weekend. This was on a Thursday late afternoon. Pete had it replaced by Friday afternoon so friend was able to not miss any work on Friday and the weekend. The price was reasonable and the service was beyond what we had hoped for. read more

Started to bring two vehicles about a year ago and have been impressed with both the quality of service as well as the professionalism of the staff both the owner as well as the front office staff. I highly recommend this place for any type of auto repair. Richard Macchia read more

Twice I've been here and both times were great. I got immediate service, everything is very well explained. Nothing done or charged without your consent. Pricing is on par or slightly lower than average so they are more than fair in that regard. It's always scary finding a trustworthy mechanics and feeling really grateful this place is near me with good people I feel I can trust. I also have a Prius and some places aren't equipped to do certain work on hybrids and this since is extremely knowledgeable! Thank you Tucson Mountain Motors! read more

I also asked for the old parts back and they didn't . They didn't call about more parts needed. Left the car with grease marks Have no voice mail to leave messages I wouldn't go back read more

Recently moved to the southwest part of Tucson and my secondary vehicle was past the time when the timing belt needed to be replaced. Travel time to the auto repair shop now being an hours drive away, I decided to check in at this establishment for an estimate on the timing belt replacement. Their estimate came in at close to $800.00 less, so I decided to let them make the replacement. About an hour after leaving the vehicle, the owner telephoned me to say that they had noticed another issue and I gave them the ok to make the additional repair. After picking up the vehicle, I noticed that they also changed a number of other smaller items on the vehicle that needed to be replaced and they were done with no additional cost. I an now driving a safer vehicle, and have this establishment to thank for their foresight to go above what was originally expected. This being my first visit, I can highly recommend them to other local residents Richard Macchia read more

Very good work at reasonable prices. I'm a retired aircraft mechanic so I don't trust just anyone to work on my machine. Been doing business with Pete for many years. A+ read more

Very, very disappointed. We were taken advantage of financially. Curious, does it cost $45 to wash under the car for 30 mins? We were unknowingly charged for that. Within 3 months of each other: Experience #1 He sold us a battery that we didn't need nor request. This was on top of $3,200 of repairs. He changed the oil, and charged us for it, after we said we didn't want the oil changed. Experience #2 We requested a drivers-side-door repair due to an accident. We said "we need the door fixed." He looked at the damage with us present. He did not walk around the car, nor mention in his verbal estimate that additional repairs were needed. His verbal estimate was, "I have a friend who can do it for $1,400." We agreed. When we picked it up, it was $1,600+ and we had new headlights and a new front bumper. Not once in either of these situations did he call to mention a) we needed additional repairs (e.g. a new battery, new headlights, etc.), or b) any increased costs that we would be incurring due to his additional repairs. He did the work without our consent or approval and simply charged us upon pick up of the completed job - we also never received an itemized receipt. Fool me once, shitty you; fool me twice, dumb me. Will not return here. Thinking about civil complaint. He'll respond and say "if we were taking advantage of people we wouldn't be in business." They have enough first time, one-time customers to stay in business. One will notice they do not have repeat female customers (only men, who are not taken advantage of). read more

I have been to Mountain Motors several times and often found the employee's attitudes to be somewhere between indifferent and borderline rude. Recently the low tire light came on in my car. Since I was scheduled for an oil change there, I asked them to also check my tires. They reported that there were no leaks. A few days later, the light came back on, and I found a clearly visible nail stuck in the tire. read more

Couldn't tell at all something was up? Dude said' "ya musta thrown it in reverse while you were driving". Nah. Won't be going here again. Suggest you stay clear too. read more

I took my car to get it repaired. They didn't have the time to repair it that day, so I made an appointment. As I was waiting to make a right turn out of his lot, his tow truck driver rear ended me. The owner of the business tried to use the age of my car as an excuse not to repair my car. I was treated very badly. read more

Good shop learned they charge me extra because my truck is used quite bit off road n they say if it doesn't look to be abused again they will warranty my work if it does in their opinion they won't warranty like cmon just say you won't read more

I really liked this place. The guys here are really nice and los nopales used to be walking distance so you could get food while they work on your car. Luckily, there are other food places close by so you can distract yourself while you wait read more

My rental car needed some air in its front tire this morning. The two gas stations I stopped by had faulty air machines, and I was planning to just cross my fingers and chance it because I really wanted to be in Saguaro for sunrise. I passed TMM on the way to the park, stopped, and discovered FREE and FUNCTIONAL AIR! Thanks a ton for getting me back on the road. read more

Top rate service without the dealer high mark up or headaches. The Mercedes dealer had my AMG for over a month and still didn't get it right. Took it to Tucson Mountain Motors and they fixed everything the dealer missed and got me back on the road. A+ business!!! read more

Great work at a great price! Rear brake pads & rotor job, in and out with no issues highly recommend!

I've been dealing with these guys since 2013, because I lived in Tucson Estate s, until recently. I am almost 20 miles from this shop, and will continue to service my vehicles there, because no shop has earned my trust to the extent that Pete, Rick, and Mark have. They have even recommended that I NOT waste money with unnecessary repairs in the past. How many shops do that? Since most of their clientele is elderly, they go out of the way to be accommodating and competitively priced. Disregard the few negative reviews. These guys are a class act all the way! read more

Had some car troubles this week- thought it might've been my battery, got that fixed and car still wasn't running. Called Tucson Mountain Motors and they were very upfront, gave me an exact quote and were easy to work with. I took my car in a couple of days later, felt absolutely no pressure- explained what was going on. Within an hour, they called me and confirmed it was my alternator. They fixed it up and I had my car back by 3pm. They are very professional and a great place to have your car worked on. I will definitely recommend this shop to anyone needing car services. read more

If you want honesty dependability and great pricing you need to bring your car here. The feel is as if you went back in time to an old service station from the 50s and 60s. Workers are honest and dependable. Work is done quickly and efficiently and they try to get your vehicle back to you as soon as possible. They also let you know if there are any other issues with your vehicle and give you some estimates so you can get the work done later if you wish not to do it at that time. Easy to work with easy to drop off or make an appointment with them. I could not talk highly enough of their honesty and pricing. A local dealership advise me of an issue that my vehicle had. They wanted to charge me over $300 to fix the issue. I went to Tucson Mountain Motors and they were able to do the same procedure for $100. This is not the first time they were able to do that. They also found and issue that i was having and under warranty, they took care of the issue at not extra cost!!! I cannot talk Highly enough how honest and efficient they were. I recommend going there and getting your car worked on. read more

Pete (owner) and Rick are that old breed of mechanics who are straight shooters, honest and direct. I sat and listened to them for several hours when I was waiting for my car to be fixed, and they dealt with everyone on the phone professionally and knowledgeably, never trying to push the customer into doing work that didn't need to be done. Pete is also a vintage Porsche expert, always a good sign of a true car guy. read more

Awesome customer service with fair pricing.

I've now taken my vehicle a few times to Tucson Mountain Motors to get it fixed. Every time, Rick has been there to help me. I highly recommend them because they're friendly and fast! What brought me to them initially was hearing about them from three separate people and how honest they were. Now, as a female, I get the run around usually when it comes to cars and mechanics tend to think I have no idea what's going on with my car. While I certainly couldn't fix it like they do, I DO know some basics. So every mechanic I approach with some trepidation. Not here! Every time I've come in, Rick is very forthright with information and will tell me exactly what is wrong with my car, what needs to be fixed and what isn't a priority but needs to be kept in mind. They're understanding with people's financial situations and will work with you to make sure the prioritized work gets done, but that you're staying within budget too. As a mechanic shop, I recommend Tucson Mountain Motors to all my friends and will keep passing the word along! They've restored my faith in mechanics everywhere! read more

This place is a joke. They had my car 3 different times and never got fixed. Don't make an appointment because it won't be done till they decide to do at their convenient not yours. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!!!!!!! read more

We've been bringing our vehicles to Tucson Mountain Motors for many years. They are always scrupulously honest, & they provide outstanding expertise & service. We wouldn't consider taking our vehicles any place else! read more

I've had many types of services done here and they always do it right. From oil changes, brake fluid changes, transmission fluid changes, wiper blade changes and many, many (got a nail in my tire) tire patches. They have competitive pricing and nice staff and do complete auto service. Oh... and did I mention they have a tow truck too, should you need a tow. Highly recomend this place. read more

A single female's worst nightmare...her vehicle breaking down in a strange town. Thankfully it happened only a few blocks away from this shop. I couldn't have asked for more capable, honest and professional treatment. They fit me into their busy schedule and got me back on the road with a fairly simple fix. I was expecting the worst, and even though my dad was a mechanic and I know quite a bit about cars, I could have been taken advantage because of my lack of knowledge about clutch systems. They value their customers and their reputation; are honest and service oriented! Tucson is so lucky to have a shop of this caliber available to them. What a great place! read more

The service and technicians here are amazing! They saved me over $500 instead of taking my car to the dealership. They can always find time to squeeze me in and fix my issues quickly. They can do it all here! I highly recommend Tucson Mountain Motors! read more

We drove down from Phoenix to purchase a car for our daughter from one of their longtime clients. The service and responsiveness from Pete, the owner of TMM, was incredible! He was completely upfront on all and any potential issues with the vehicle, and he shared all records. In fact, he said he would warranty any issues and he did! He worked with our mechanic in Phoenix to reimburse us for a part that failed. If I lived in Tucson, Tucson Mountain Motors would be our family auto shop. read more

"First time using this place for an oil change & tire rotation - good service, decent prices!"

Have you ever wondered.....what happened to customer service? This wonderful gas/service station is exactly what defines customer service. A full service garage they can help you with any automotive concerns you have and fix it without trying to charge you for things that are not needed. We recommend this place to everyone! They have great prices on gas too, usually below most places in Tucson. The boys that fill your tank AND wash your windshield, the mechanics in the garage, and Pete the owner are all super great guys! You will leave there feeling like you are part of the family. (yes, I did say.... they fill your car with gas for you and wash your windshield! All with a smile) read more

I was going to Tucson Mountain Motors for oil changes. When I took my car there in nov.,2012 ,they recommended I get the rear brake pads replaced because they where getting worn down,I said o.k.,you can fix them. After they where done with my car I noticed alot of noise coming from the rear of the car,that was really loud and rattling sound. I told them about it and the owner of Tucson Mountain Motors drove my car to see what the problem was- They said it was my bushings in the rear of the car they are dried out- The rattling kept getting worse so in march of 2013 when I got my oil changed I had a Mechanic from Tucson Mountain Motors ride with me to show him the problem he said yes I hear a rattling noise,so when I paid for the oil change they told me my bushings where bad and it has some rust on the underbody and that they don't like to work on cars rusty like taht on the underbody (the car is a 2004 mazda 3 s with a mint condition body and a little surface rust on the underside from being driven in salt in wisconsin) Far from being too rusty to work on. The rattling noise kept up so I took my car in for a" Second Opinion" at a shop a friend at work recommended me to. The OWNER at the NEW SHOP,went for a ride with me in my car and noticed the rattling real bad . He looked at the Brake Job TUCSON MOUNTAIN MOTORS Did and said they had the brakes INSTALLED BACKWARDS,With NO Anti Rattle Clips and they did not grease anything up. He said he was Surprised nothing happened, and Tucson Mountain Motors did a Very bad brake job. After the New Shop Installed the brake pads Properly the car has no more Rattles, it was the Brakes the whole time which Tucson Mountain Motors Failed to detect. and had installed wrong. I don't Recommend Tucson Mountain Motors, because I told them about the rattling noise 2 times and they brushed the problem off on bushing. They can't diagnos a problem. The New Shop I took my car to Diagnosed the problem in a few minutes. read more

Scammers!! Took our camper there just to have a couple motor mount bolts replaced. Was told it would only take a couple of hours so no big deal. Drove by the shop throughout the day and they hadn't looked at it all day as it was sitting outside. Several hours later we got a call that they wouldn't be done that day. So we had to rent a car and a hotel since we had no where to stay. Fine. The next morning they call and say they can't get the old bolts out due to rust and they want to send half our motor in to a machine shop and it's going to cost us $3,000!!!! What!!! So my husband tells them there is no way he's paying that amount for a couple of bolts to be replaced. He reiterated that they just needed to lube and heat the bolts to get them out. We are from the Midwest where everything rusts. So the owner finally understands (so he says) and agrees to do just that. We pick our camper up a couple hours later and get back to where we were staying. My husband opens the motor up to take a look and low and behold, NO BOLTS!! They charged us $175 and did absolutely NOTHING. We did get our money back after my husband called them but we were out the rental car and hotel bill. What a complete joke. Owner claims there was a miscommunication with one of his mechanics. What kind of owner doesn't know what is going on in his own shop?? This was in July of this year. We drove out there because my mother in law and father in law had both passed away within a couple months of each other and we went to spread their ashes and move stuff out of the house. And this is what we had to deal with. What a shame. read more

If your a Senior or a Snowbird from out of town stay as far away from this place as possible!!!!! I spent over $700.00 to get my truck fixed and they did everything but fix the problem. Finally I was able to get it over to the Dodge dealership and they had it fixed in 4 hours. I had from friends at Tucson Estates which is very close by and was told they have a terrible reputation in the area and had heard many complaints just like mine about these. shysters!! read more

At one time I left every thing up to Pete and his crew for the well being of my vehicles. I started to notice a lack of care and lots of changing in mechancis. On this last visit back in June I wanted a full safety check up as I was going on a trip to the White Mountains. I had to go up through the Salt River Canyon which has lots of down shifting around the sharp curves and down hills. When I got to Lakeside I noticed the truck was not shifting properly. When the transmission fluid was checked it was all but empty. I called this in and the little girl working the desk now was flippy with her answers and you could tell she could care less. I don't know if she ever even passed this on to Pete and if she did he could care less either. Then I went to use the windshield washer and it was empty too. Ok not that big of a deal but the transmission surely was. I have not had to add one drop of fluid since the fill of quart of fluid and I have since returned via Salt River Canyon I wonder if they really checked anything as I never saw them near the brakes either. It sure was a fast service for all I needed to make this trip. read more
