Auto body repair service near Phoenix, AZ

Desert Auto Works is a trusted family favorite. My brother-in-law recommended them to my Dad, who recommended them to me. Ownership/management has changed from Ken to Diego and Sergio, and we continue to use them for years now. They are not my sole auto repair source, because I like to have several flavors of mechanic.Desert AutoWorks has a smart, small, business-like flavor. They are not the cheapest, but your car and your phone call do not get lost in a shuffle; they keep you generally well-informed. They are not bozos when it comes to diagnostics. Though they do sometimes make mistakes, they make a sincere effort to take personal responsibility for diagnostics. They don't do unnecessary, dishonest work. They do not pad their recommendations or seek to meet service billings goals like a Midas shop.

My girlfriend’s car broke down on the way to the lake, so AAA towed us to this repair shop. We did know it was the alternator that was shot and possibly more, but when we were quoted $270 for just the part (not including labor) from O'Reilly, we knew we were about to get taken for a ride. They must have thought we had stupid written across our foreheads. We decided not to go with their service and had the car towed home. We went to O'Reilly's and got the part we needed for $170 "which was their most expensive" and did the work ourselves. Fortunately that was the only problem and the car was fixed for under $200. If this is the same shop with the Sinclair gas station; (I’m almost certain it is) then we can’t help but wonder how much the total would have been. Do yourself a big favor to your checkbook and stay away!!

Great work by honest people. Owner apologized for the cost of replacing the serpentine belt because the floor had to be removed to access the engine. Not their fault.
