Tony’s Service Center

Reliable, honest, reasonable. I’ve been a customer for so many years now I don’t even remember how long it’s been!

Service is impeccable and they went above and beyond to get my vehicle in top shape.
I highly recommend this business!

I’ve been taking my 1994 Acura to Tony’s for the past 5 years. They have solved every problem with my car without talking me into unnecessary repairs. I find the service there very knowledgeable and honest. Never thought I’d find a car repair center that I am so pleased with!

They don’t honor Unilocal deals and said Unilocal creates them?! We still got an oil change out of desperation… and that service doesn’t really leave for much room for other comments…

Great work, honest, and always go out of the way to help. Definitely a place you can trust.

I drove by Tony’s on my way to East Mesa to get my car repaired by a «guy who knew a guy» and noticed the sign that said «Japanese and German car specialist». It was Tony’s. I continued on to my East Mesa location even though I live «around the neighborhood» of Tony’s. It was a good repair but VERY INCONVENIENT. I had to arrange to have someone follow me, take me home to 7^th and Northern and then bring me back to pick up the car.
Two weeks later, my air conditioner died. That day it was 113. I have a 1996 Nissan Maxima with only 87 000 miles on it (previously owned by my mother who can no longer drive). The car was not regularly maintained so I wasn’t surprised. Well this time, I took it to Tony’s.
I was greeted by Danny, who is a great big guy with a good heart. As a woman who has been to a lot of mechanics I was skeptical, but Danny put me at ease by telling me that he would keep the car until he knew what was wrong and not to worry because they would give me a ride home and pick me up when it was ready! I was sold!
Not only did they fix the air conditioner without charging me for a new compressor (which is what I think I would have gotten from a dealer), but he called me twice to let me know what was going on with the car during the day. Made me think he knew I was wondering about it!
I had the good fortune of riding back to the shop with Moses. Moses is an employee who really cares about cars. He is just learning right now and in school for service tech, but he told me he believes that Tony’s is the best place he has ever worked. The employees respect each other, and are willing to teach him. He loves cars! I asked a lot of questions because I wanted to see how he really felt about the shop and it’s owner Danny and the other employees. I truly feel that this is one of the best little neighborhood shops around!
Thanks Danny, for making my experience a great one. I now have ice cold air in my car!

My mechanic of 20+ years no longer is available, Tony’s Service Center is right down the road from me, I’ve stopped in with a couple of vehicles over the years and have always been happy with the service. Now that I was forced to find a new mechanic that I could TRUST, I didn’t think twice about it and I will be taking my car to Tony’s.
People have reviewed about high prices which I don’t understand, my last service was cheaper than I expected and I received excellent service — they even washed my windshield when they checked the wipers!
Like my old mechanic would say I can lower the price and give you cheap parts that will last 6 months but I rather do the job once and right!
If you have concerns, there are plenty of sites online that can give you a rough idea of what a job will cost and what the industry standard hours are to complete the job, like anything else, do your homework ask questions.
These guys are the real deal and straight shooters and it’s nice to find another neighborhood mechanic that treats you as a friend and not just some customer walking in the door

I have been taking my car to Danny and his guys for years and can’t say enough great things! As a female, I never worry about being taken advantage of and feel very comfortable every time I’m there. Thanks for being awesome, Danny!

Why does an auto service center that’s been around so long have so few reviews? Because they pay to have the negative ones removed. what you see are the only good reviews.
i had my breaks changed and it put me out $ 700. I thought that was high for changing the breaks and smoothing the rotors. Apparently all the bolts weren’t tightened up when they gave it back so i had to return back the next day so they could fix the wobbly wheel.
Maybe that was a small oversight, but before going here you should definitely shop around. I was quoted $ 1400 for a timing belt change so i decided to forgo the service and shop around and received excellent service for hundreds less. So if it’s not a critical need, shop around and know the market rate.

My family has used Tony’s before for their cheap and quick oil change.
However, I recently took my car there for an oil change and tire rotation. Upon taking the vehicle to another mechanic for other repairs (Tony’s is rather pricey), it was discovered that the tires were never rotated, despite charging me to do exactly that.
Tony’s lost a good customer.

I believe this is my 101^st review and I am glad to share it with you.
Three years ago, I wrote what I considered a glowing report about Ton’s Auto Service. I can continue saying good things. They still have good service and are friendly and helpful. I know they are not the cheapest place to go to but you get what you pay for. When I go in there, I expect to find out what I have to do to get the problem resolved. I don’t have the patience to have to keep working with something to figure out eventually what the problem is. To expensiv in the long run and to time consuming. Been there, done that. I also know I am probably paying a little extra for the van that will take me where I need to go while the work is being done and come and get me when it’s done. I can live with that, thank you. Depends on what kind of service you want. I have a neighbor who is tight as a turnip when it comes to money which he has plenty of! If he’s been there going for years, I am of the opinion that in the long run staying with Tony’s has been worth it for me.
Let’s face it, you take your chances if you don’t get something fixed that might need it. They aren’t the place that are going to push you to get the work done. I did notice David N’s review. If I got a bid from somewhere else that was that much lower, I’d have no problem going back to Tony’s and asking the why the difference? Depends on the individual as to how to handle those things.
One thing I do appreciate is what they did for me the last time I was in there. I was driving the car and it seemed to chug as I took it through the gears-it’s a manual. Then it was fine as I took it up the 51. the next day it did the same thing and I just barely got it to Tony’s. Probably should have had it towed and was thankful I didn’t get stuck in the fast lane of the 51 the day before! Since money means nothing to me, LOL, I about passed out when they showed me what was wrong and how much it would cost to repair. The problem was definitely there. I didn’t have the money to pay for it. It’s not every place that I would ask the owner if he was willing to work with me to pay it off over the next four months. He didn’t charge me extra. I really appreciate him working with me as I do need my vehicle for work and he made that possible.
My car is getting 30 mpg + again. I’m happy.

Friendly and the shuttle is helpful. I am pretty sure that the last time i was there though i was talked into something i didn’t need. A cooling plug??? Or something like that. Apparently you need 4 and they said i would be ok replacing one. Who knows. They saw me coming.
I wish i knew more about cars… or i had a newer one with a warranty.

I agree with David M. Tony’s is fair and honest. Work is done right the first time. They will tell you what they found and what may happen if it’s ignored. I was also told once that a noise I heard while may be annoying will not affect the performance in any way and the car had no safety issues. They’re not open on Saturdays but, they do have a van to take you to work and pick you up.
