Chuck's Auto

I highly, highly, highly recommend this place! After letting my old car go far too long without maintenance, I ended up having some major issues. They were friendly, honest, and thorough in explaining what was going on to me, someone who is completely inept when it comes to cars. The price was incredibly fair not only considering my cars issues but also in comparison to competitors. my car was also done much faster than anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. All of these things combined made them life savers! I also went here about a year ago to get my car checked out before a long drive and they were honest about the issues my car had and what I could put off/how long. Great, trustworthy people and agin I cant say enough about the fairness of the pricing. I will be going back for all my car needs. :) edit: 2025! they're still the most honest and most fairly priced. have only gone to other places if they're booked out recently took my car in for an issue and they were just as fair as honest as always which I truly appreciate as someone who knows nothing abt cars. would still recommend.

Had my engine rebuilt by Chucks during the spring of 2024. After taking delivery, timing chain cover was so corroded it wouldn't seal. They could have notified me during the build and have a new one installed. Also found all the oil pan bolts only finger tight. After ordering all new gaskets, timing chain cover, draining break-in oil and re-installed all components (found debris in oil pan when removed for new timing chain cover), filled radiator and came out next day to find coolant leaking from the rear of the engine. Have to pull engine again. 0% confidence in rebuild. Sad to see the quality nose dive from Chuck's. My dads' shop had done business with them for many years back in the 80's and 90's and had several of my own vehicles worked on by them and they were the premier place in PHX to have engine and rod work done. Not sure what happened to them. Just heart breaking.

I stopped in in-person and they told me to call them next week to make an appt. since they were booked up. I called 5 days later and no answer. Called again later the same day and no answer. Left a message asking for contact. Several business days later and no call back.

Found this place on Reddit after searching for trustworthy mechanics in my area. The A/C in my car wasn't blowing cold air. They were my "second opinion" and the first guy had told me I would have to replace the entire A/C system and quoted me $2,000. Pete was a knowledgeable, kind technician and had figured out the problem within an hour of me dropping off my car. He said there were a few valves and o-rings that were causing the freon to leak. He was able to replace these parts SAME DAY for a literal fraction of the price I was originally quoted. By that afternoon, I was driving away with a fully functional A/C. And on top of all of that, they even replaced one of my tail lights that they had noticed was out completely free of charge! Cannot say enough good things about the level of service these guys provide. 1000/10 highly recommend.

I am semi-new to Arizona and needed to find a local mechanic after the dealership quoted me almost $700 to replace one part that was causing my check engine light to go off. I needed to make sure my car was not only safe to drive without damage until I could get it fixed but that they also identified the correct problem. I found Chuck's Auto off Google and went there based on the reviews. Mark helped me every step of the way. I left my car with them for the day and they checked my history codes and the part that was supposed to be broken. My car was showing that this part was working just fine but since my light has gone back on and off and on... Mark let me bring it back when the light was on just to make sure they diagnosed correctly. Everyone here is so kind and easy to talk to. They're also a veteran owned business which made me happy to utilize them as well. Thank you Chuck's Auto team!

Pete was prompt, kind, and knowledgeable. I wanted him to check out a salvage title car I was considering purchasing, and he was quick and efficient! Would highly recommend for those needing service in the area.

Wanted to charge me $225 to install an O2 sensor that I had on hand. That is about a 30 minute job. When I told him I don't know of many mechanics making $450 an hour he said they charge $150 for labor per hour so I guess it takes them an hour and a half to do a 30 minute job? They must be saving up for a sign for their business, which the guy told me they don't have because it would cost them a couple thousand a year in permits. This place is a joke. Update: Found a shop a mile away from this one that installed the sensor for $80. I would expect this kind of mark-up if I was broken down in the middle of nowhere and this was the only shop within 100 miles, but the fact that they are trying to charge those kind of prices for basic services in the middle of a major metropolitan area explains why they can't even afford a sign for their business.

They don’t make shops like this one anymore. These guys are great. They are friendly and honestly I wasn’t referred to them justvdecided on them due to their reviews on google. Believe all that you read! They are fast and fair and are great at what they do. Thanks men I appreciate your help on my dodge truck !
