A-4 Auto Repair

Had a problem with my tuck and Joel made room in his schedule to look at it and diagnose the problem. He had it up and running in no time. When I got there to get the truck he found a sensor that went out he stayed past his closing time and replaced the sensor. I will definitely be going back when I have any more automotive problems. I Would recommend Joel to anyone having any type of automotive problems. He very nice, easy to talk to, and is very reasonable with his prices.

Although I had a very difficult problem and the diagnosis was misleading from sensors, Joel was more than fair and what I’m sure what would have cost close to $ 800 or more at the very least anywhere else ended up costing me less than $ 400. I really feel that this is a honest shop and that I could tell my Mom it’s OK to take her car here. That’s about the best compliment I can give and should give you an idea how he conducts his business.

Walked in today and Joel was able to take care of my blown blower motor in a reasonable amount of time for a really reasonable price. Great customer service, definitely would recommend them to others.

Joel has been my only mechanic since moving to Arizona which was 3 – 4 years ago. I appreciate Joel’s honesty, integrity, work ethics, and his sense of humor. He has proven to me and my wife several times that he can DRAMATICALLY reduce the amount of money you need to spend to keep your car maintained and running like a champ. Three weeks ago I turned to Joel because my 2008 Honda Civic had reached 100,000 miles. For a great price, I was able to get my front brakes done, all my fluids completely flushed (if you look at his Facebook page you can see the before and after photos of my fluids), my belts replaced, and a MAJOR tune up. My car has been running like it’s brand new ever since. Having a mechanic you can always rely on and trust is A MUST HAVE and I’m glad that I know Joel. He is dependable and has never given me the wrong advice. Check him out!

What do you look for in a mechanic?
Honesty. Joel is straightforward and will let you know exactly what he did to your car or what needs to be done. When searching for good mechanics, you want someone that will not only take care of your car, but prevent things from happening. I have never felt pressured when dealing with Joel. He has even walked me through during his inspection of my car.
Reliability. I have a Toyota and Honda, and Joel has done oil changes, changed breaks, and performed maintenance inspections to prevent any severe malfunctions in my vehicles. As a result, if you take care of your car, get your oil changes, perform maintenance checks, your car should run smoothly… only if you have a reliable mechanic checking it out.
Joel is from the midwest and truly cares about what he does. Like I said, I have been coming here for 2 years, and to add some validity and criticism to this review: the only problem I had was when one of his mechanics did not reset the oil meter in my car after an oil change. Other than that, my only beef with Joel is he is a Denver Broncos fan. Coming from Southern California and an avid Charger fan, this may pose some issues. However, Joel and I can both agree about one thing, we hate the Raiders!
Come see Joel if you are in North Phoenix or need a major fix. Test him out and see the kind of service he gives you. I have been a happy customer the past 2 years. We will see you again for our next check up!

So basically came here got an oil change and inspection. The guy (not Joel) said let me take a look. He comes back to tell me that my cabin air filter was definitely dirty from the looks of it and needing to be replaced. I left the place, and later found out that my car doesn’t even have a cabin air filter. I wonder what he thought looked dirty? Joel is a good guy, but I won’t be coming back cause of that.

Joel is amazing. I love how real he is. No BS. He does a good job, fixes your car right and at an affordable price. I’ve used Joel several times when I had my older car and needed a lot of repairs and the husband has brought his car here as well. If you need any work done, take it to Joel… he’s amazing!

Joel is awesome & does excellent work at the best rates i’ve seen from a pro mechanic. If we lived in a small town, he would be the mechanic that everyone knows & trusts. He’s old-​school, but on top of everything current. He checks TSB’s and shows you the old parts without even asking. I would trust sending my mom to him.

By far the best auto repair shop I’ve ever been to. I originally started going to Joel a little over a year ago for oil changes, but when I had an issue with my (awful) Cadillac Catera I decided to give him a try. I was definitely impressed with the value, quality, and responsiveness of his work and shop. He offers free pick up and drop off services within a five mile radius and has even fixed some of the smaller issues with my car for free.
Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

I am also new in town so relied on Unilocal to find a good repairman when my car ran over a tire on the road the other day. I called this Saturday morning and they were able to get me in today with a quick turn around. Joel actually showed me under my car exactly what they did for a very affordable cost. Very Honest and Excellent customer service!!!

Very honest and Reliable. Best experience I’ve ever had with a mechanic

Being new in town we’ve been looking for a mechanic to repair my husbands jeep. I called Joel and he answered right away, explained his process and said he’d keep me informed before he made any repairs. When he found the problems he gave me a quote and walked me through everything. He quickly fixed the car to get it back up and running.
Joel is very detailed and honest. I will definitely bring our car there again.

Great service and very honest. I highly recommend using them for your auto repairs.
