I have a Lincoln Nautilus suv that needed an oil change so I read the great reviews on Arthur and decided to schedule the service. He was very helpful and professional and his back yard is set up as a repair shop. I sat and watched him and was out of there in 20 minutes. The next customer arrived as I was leaving. His price is very fair and much cheaper than going to the dealership. I will definitely be going back in 5,000 miles! read more

He never responded with a quote answered my initial text but it must have been AI because he did not respond after I sen him the information about my vehicle . Totally unprofessional read more

Poor customer service over the phone. Called left a message numerous times. I spoke with him once and he said he would call back, never heard from him again. read more

I texted Arthur on 2/20/25 about repairing a motor mount. He asked for the VIN and I gave it to him. He replied "Thank you". I didn't hear anything back on 2/20, so I texted him again on 2/22/2025 and stated I had not received his estimate yet. No reply. I called on 2/23/2025 and left a message with my number stating I had heard nothing as a reminder. No reply. I have used him before and was very satisfied with the work and price. I don't know why he won't return my call or texts or that he's not interested in the job. read more

I am new to the desert so my husband and I know no one really here except a handful of people here.. I was so very happy I was referred by my friend Cristina to this mechanic. Arthur is very honest and helpful. I truly appreciate his help with my a/c issue in my car. Best part is he listens to you and works with you to come up with the best options for your car and he is honest and hard working. read more

Knows his business and is there to help you out!! Highly recommend. Doesn't change and arm and a leg.

My car broke down while on a trip to Indio from LA and while I originally had my car at another local shop, it became very clear after only a couple of conversations with Arthur that I had made a mistake by not going to him first. He quoted me far less than what the other shop had, he facilitated getting my car from their shop to his, ordered the part and had all of the work done quickly and correctly. Arthur has something that every mechanic I have ever met doesn't...a wonderful sense of communication. Thank you again! read more

Arthur is the single most thorough and honest mechanic I've ever worked with. I brought him a European car which he doesn't service but he researched it, made calls, and ultimately told me that while he could do it (and it would be a costly repair) he was going to advise me against it-- and then he shared his research findings with me. I appreciate and value him so much. While I don't have a repair at the moment, I very much trust that Arthur will be the one fixing all my cars from now on. Thank you, Arthur!! read more

Easy and friendly service! Got an oil change and glad I found Arthur, will definitely be bringing my car back for any other mechanic needs. Took about 20 minutes and I was able to sit in the backyard where he & Paul were working with a fan on me. Anything longer and definitely wanna do a drop off but I could tell I was in good hands and they seem super knowledgeable and very honest. Great experience. read more

We were new to the desert and needed a mechanic. I almost did not go with Wrench Monkey because it is still about 30 minutes in a direction I do not frequent but I am so glad that I did! Arthur is the real deal. I have a 2013 Honda Accord that I use for mostly commuting. I noticed that I was having trouble accelerating on the freeway which can be death when those big rigs are coming for me, or at least that's how I felt getting onto the 10 from the 62. On the 2nd day of the acceleration issue, I was too paranoid so I called AAA to tow my Honda to Riverside. My guy said, transmission was DONE and I needed a new one. I called Arthur for a second opinion. I told him what the problem was & what the other shop was telling me. He was apprehensive to tell me much without being able to see my car in person but by the verbiage of the other shop, he knew something didn't sound right. Let me tell you, this shop was trying to get me into a used transmission for some odd 3k and for a new transmission 5k+. The lady who worked the front desk was using scare tactics to make me commit to a new transmission & recommended that I did not drive the car AT ALL. I called AAA and towed the car to Arthur. It was not the transmission at all. Yes, my transmission needed to be serviced, because I had never done it but Arthur had a plan for that. Turned out, I needed new spark plugs. One thing I really like about Arthur is that he does not try to rob you. He gave me a list of things that needed to be serviced for my car and let me know which were urgent and what I could hold off on. With just getting into a new home and having such a long commute, during the surge of gas prices - I needed that help. I really really needed that help. I have taken my car back quite a few times to get caught up on my maintenance. I have had my car since I drove it brand new off the lot and really wanted that new car feeling back. Arthur has not disappointed. He said to me that my car was driving smoother than manteca on a hot tortilla & that man was not lying. I sometimes prefer to get into my Honda rather than my Mercedez because it is such a nice ride. I sent my husband to get his work truck fixed and because of all the modifications he's made, Arthur had his work cut out for him. There was one issue after another, after another & Arthur took this job personally. I truly respect his work ethic. I also sent my sister & my mom for multiple services. My mom is always a "karen" as the youngsters say, and I told her in advance, don't you play with my mechanic or you can't go to him. I meant it. Another thing I like about Arthur is that he has SO much information that he is willing to share. When he tells you what is wrong with the car, he will explain it in detail, how it works, what happens if, what exactly needs to be done, generic or OEM parts/prices, pluses & drawbacks, I mean its endless. I have learned a ton. I get a real kick out of diagnosing my car before I take it to him to see if I am correct. I started to think I was a real mechanic & I may or may not have looked up classes to increase my mechanic skills but that's a story for another day. If you need a legit mechanic, try Arthur. I do not believe you will be disappointed in the slightest. Customer for life. read more

If anyone is looking for the great mechanic look no further than wrench monkey 760. Arthur was amazing, was able to correct a problem that the dealer couldn't correct for me. Had my car in the morning and by the afternoon had it fixed. It was a 2013 Hyundai Elantra gt. Problem was with sensors, modules, etc. I cannot tell you how happy I am with his work. And I will continue to take my car there for any other issues. And on top of that a very pleasant guy. I'd give him more than five stars if I could. read more

So happy to have found Arthur! From the start he was incredibly responsive and informative. I brought my car to address a nagging check engine light that would come and go. No one else could figure out why the light would turn on and off. Arthur was able to figure out what was wrong within an hour after drop off. He kept us in the loop throughout the entire process and was detailed in regards to pricing. Super happy and will definitely be back for new spark plugs! Thank you Arthur. read more

Artur is our new desert mechanic! We purchased a vehicle from auction, and he provided a thorough checkup and maintenance for it. We're so happy to have found him, he's quick, professional and reliable. The quality and value of his service is simply the best! Thank you Artur! read more

I needed an oil change right away and these guys were able to get me in right away-- in an hour. Though it's in a residential neighborhood which looked a little sketchy (White House with fence on the left--easy to miss), it was all good!! They drove my car into the back and I waited for them to do the service. It was hot outside, but it was shaded and there was a mist too. All of them were super nice and I wasn't overcharged. I would go back for sure! read more

We were heading to Palm Springs for vacation coming from the Bay Area. The A/C began to blow warm/hot air, I believe the condenser or valve got punctured during our drive. It was extra stressful because we had our dog with us. Luckily, I found Arthur on Yelp who was beyond compassionate, knowledgeable, and provided excellent customer service. He quoted a fair and reasonable deal for the service/repair on such short notice. Being in the heat, concerned with the safety of my dog, and dealing with the a/c issue came with some irrationality on my end when asking questions/logistics of the situation. But nonetheless, Arthur remained patient and level-headed the entire way through. Thank you for going beyond and taking care of us - we are very blessed! Sidenote: this was during the 4th of July weekend and availability for car repair/service was limited everywhere! read more

Great experience, Didn't take long and Arthur explained what was done. I would recommend for other customers. read more

On our way back to northern California. My fuel pump went out. Arturo was able to work me in-between other jobs. Fair price. This is our second time using him. Four years ago he put new shocks on my boyfriend's truck. Did a great job then. I highly recommend wrench monkey. read more

Arthur has not even worked on my car and I still recommend him. Recently I had a check engine light that came on and the code said there was a problem with my No. 4 cylinder. I thought it could be an issue with the spark plug. After pulling the cable off the plug I found oil on it and knew that I had a bigger issue than a bad spark plug to deal with. I called Arthur after seeing his Yelp reviews to see when he could get me in. He said that he was booked out at least a month but explained to me that I had a valve cover gasket that was leaking and needed to be replaced. Arthur told me that the repair wasn't that difficult and after watching YouTube videos I was able to complete the repair mysrlf. Thank you Arthur for helping me and some day I'll actually have you work on my car! read more

Moved to the area 2 years ago and I am looking for an honest and trustworthy person to work on my car. I feel confident that Arthur at Wrench Monkey is that person. I needed him to do a tune up on my 2015 Ford Flex. I need to get spark plugs, transmission fluid change, brake pads, coolant change, and also a belt replaced. He was very fair on his pricing and was very responsive when it came to keeping me up to date on the status of my vehicle. He will be my go to moving forward. Going back to him next week with a suspension issue diagnostic. Hoping it won't be too bad but I know this place will take good care of me. Definitely worth looking into if you have any car repair needs. read more

Great, fast service. Always come here to get my oil changed and my car is in and out in 10 mins.

My husband and I are impressed by the excellent service of this company. We were driving from Texas to California and our car started overheating a check engine light came on so I called this company on a Sunday afternoon and even though the company was closed a mechanic answered the phone gave me advice and an appointment for next day. During the service which was excellent the mechanic answered all of my questions and reviewed the car. We could continue our trip to California thanks to his help. Very professional man. read more

I went to Wrench Monkey as they had great reviews. Just needed a top off on Freon. He claimed to have completed the job, even tipped him, but a week later my car stopped blowing cold. I took it to my regular mechanic and mentioned Freon was low. He filled it up and it's been working great for over a month. Didn't fix anything else. Not sure what the deal is, but I ended up paying for the same service twice. Won't be doing that again... read more

Thanks Arthur! I appreciate your knowledge, quick reply by text, reasonable quote and work done in an efficient and timely manner!

Arthur responds promptly to all messages. Service was quick and efficient. He was honest throughout and provides good recommendations on what needed to be replacements on my truck. From now on, Arthur and Wrench Monkey is my first contact whenever I need to look at getting my vehicles repaired. read more

Arthur is a standout guy. I called him to request a quote for installing air bags on my truck. He gave me honest, straight forward advice and made a recommendation to use an alternative that allowed me to do the job myself. I give him five stars for character and putting the customer first. Next time I need someone, I'm calling him. read more

My son was selling his car online and a perspective out-of-town buyer hired Arthur to inspect the car before she purchased it. We dropped the car off with Arthur on Friday evening and he did a full multi-point inspection and test drive for her. He was very nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and although I didn't pay for the inspection (the buyer did) I believe his rate was very reasonable. If anyone is looking to purchase a used car from a private party and would like to have it checked before they buy, I would definitely recommend Arthur at the Wrench Monkey. read more

Several weeks ago, I had my 2002 Toyota Sequoia towed to Arthur's "shop," which is a house that he works out of. That was fine, given his excellent Yelp recommendations, even though my car was parked on the street. The car would not go into gear, so Arthur replaced parts and it works great. He was very responsive about bringing in the car, providing a quote, and letting me know when it was done. He also was upfront in letting me know that he could not get to my car for a few days because he had other customers' cars already. I thought his price was very reasonable, especially compared to a dealership. And he is a really nice guy. I would highly recommend him. read more

Arthur was awesome! I was in need of some new brake pads and rotors. He was fast and did a great job. Not to mention an awesome value for all I learned about my specific car make/model. I will def be going back! read more

Arthur is the best choice in the desert! We moved here 4 years ago and I have been on the hunt for a reliable and reasonable mechanic and I finally found that in Arthur. Highly recommend! read more

Arthur is very nice, patient, and he offers a fair price the work that needed to be done on my car.

Was driving in from San Diego my check engine light came on I called around to some of the big name places in the area with no luck finally after reading some very good reviews I called Wrench Monkey760 and the owner Arther returned my call within 2 minutes and told me to bring my car on over.. He ran some tests found the issue and solved my problem! No overcharges or games.. qualities that are hard to find in a mechanic.. thank you again if I'm ever in the area and need help again I definitely know who I can trust read more

I have a 2005 Nissan Sentra which had the check engine light on for a long time. Both my local mechanic and the Nissan dealer were not able to properly diagnose the issue. Arthur performed a diagnostic and after some trials (back and forth - troubleshooting) was able to pinpoint the fuel pump as the issue, and promptly fixed my car. It's now running great. Arthur was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, very honest, chill, and had the patience and time to really figure out what was going on. I am grateful for him, and also for all the reviews I read here that lead me to him, and for his hard work and dedication - all at a price I was able to afford. read more

I took my car in to Arthur at Wrench Monkey to replace my valve gasket cover and the discharge hose for my ac. I'm not from the area, so I didn't know where to take my car and I was anxious about the cost that I had been quoted by another mechanic in the area. I'm so grateful to have found Wrench Monkey. Arthur had my car done as soon as the parts came in, although he is busy. He is very kind, explained everything to me and the price was more than fair. He is honest and professional. I couldn't recommend Wrench Monkey more. My car is in great shape now. Thank you so much Wrench Monkey! read more

Arthur it was very honest hard-working, pleasure to do business with, i love supporting entrepreneurs like him that are professional. we will definitely be bringing our cars back for service with Arthur. I really recommend him. Good price,good service. We were new to the area but we found our guy. Thank Arthur. read more

My car had been making strange noises that just kept on getting worse. I currently live in Las Vegas but had to drive out to Indio, CA to attend Coachella. I was rather nervous about taking my car, but decided to go for it. By the time I reached Indio, I knew that I absolutely had to get my car checked somewhere locally before driving back to Vegas. I immediately came to Yelp and luckily found Arthur! He works out of his home and is extremely accommodating and friendly! I wish he lived here in Vegas as he would undoubtedly be my go-to mechanic. Unfortunately, my car has some major issues including an oil leak. I recently got my oil changed in Vegas and cannot understand how the mechanics didn't see that there was a leak at the time. Apparently, the oil was pretty much empty! Arthur added as many oil bottles as needed as well as a special additive. He also gave me additional bottles and showed me how to add the oil myself, which has been very helpful! Throughout the process, Arthur explained everything that was going on with my car, which most mechanics never do! While I still have to see a mechanic out here, Arthur pretty much allowed me to make it back to Vegas! He also texted me several times along the way to check on me, which he really didn't have to do but was much appreciated! Moral of the story: if you live in the Indio/Palm Springs area, go see Arthur! If you're driving through, go see him as well! Honest, passionate, and hard working mechanics are so hard to come by these days. read more

Arthur is an honest man who really knows all thing cars. I needed an alternator as my car didn't start. He told me he could get it done the same day, or the next morning. He is very responsive to texts and calls. My car starts up and has no issues now. I'll be saving his number in my phone for all of my future car repair needs. His prices are better than everyone else I called and turn around time didn't even compare. He works out of his home. Thank you Arthur. You are running a great business! UPDATE: Still amazing. I've had a few more issues with my cars and Arthur goes above and beyond to help. I got to know him more as he took the time to chat with me about his education and how he truly enjoys what he does. He is honest and caring. You will not regret the decision to go here! read more

Honest Art ! We couldn't be happier with the full overhaul of the brake system on our 2003 Camry. Super knowledge, took the time to explain things thoroughly. Very reasonably with pricing. Trust me, we called around ! Greeted us with a mask, and wore one throughout whole conversation. read more

My AC went out in my car I took it to Aurthur he diagnosed it was the compressor. Big bucks !! He also told me there was a chance he could rebuild it . He did his magic and I am back in cool town !! Here is the best part if I had taken it to a dealer or another shop it could have cost me thousands ! Honest hard working Knowledgeable everything you want in a mechanic. I will never take my cars anywhere else. Thank you Wrench Monkey ! read more

Nothing but Grade A !!! Fast turn around time and straight too the point with NO BS ...

Arthur is a good and honest mechanic. He worked on my 2000 Toyota land cruiser to replace breaks and repaired the air conditioner. He did the work on a timely manner and such a great price on the work he did. Will certainly be back for my auto repair need while here in the Coachella Valley. read more
