Auto repair service near Sun City, AZ

I have had the pleasure of working with the Vinson Team for several years after having been referred by my neighbor. They are professional, respectful, knowledgeable and reliable. I have lived all over the country and I wish there were more Mike Vinson Automotive locations for my friends and family to appreciate.

Amazing Service ! The staff is honest and gets straight to the problem. We took our 2014 Maxima to them because the air wasn't blowing cold. They did an AC recharge and oil change. I came back a week later and they re-checked everything to make sure we had no leaks. We had been told by our local BIG O that we didn't have a cabin air filter and needed one (but decided to pass) . When they were doing the final check they mentioned that our cabin air filter needed replaced. I was amazed because we had been told twice by BIG O that we didn't have one. Will was even kind enough to bring it out and show it to me. I'm thankful to find an honest and reliable shop ! I've had a hard time finding a dealership or shop that we can trust. Spencer's now has my service ! No scare tactics/pressure to up-sell on unneeded products here <3 Samantha Herbaugh

Fantastic service! I highly recommentdniAutoHaus. They weee able to service my car sooner than anticipated. I greatly appreciated Jimi keeping me informed as repairs were made and maintenance issues being completed. He even stayed late in a Friday to make sure I would have my car. Professional, patient, polite, proficient. Thanks guys!

Wonderful business family! Professional, courteous, and efficient.

I LOVE THIS company. It literally made my day. My oil light came on during my drive to work and I went online and booked an appointment for that same day. They came to my work and it was done within an hour. They even put air in my tire that was low. Brent (my oil service guy) came, made it so easy and even vacuumed my car! I will for sure use this company going forward. Everything from the online service, to the emailed receipt, to the customer service was amazing. I would suggest them to everyone. Go Wrench!

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!!

I highly recommend this shop. Ken is very professional in everything he does. Car was repaired quickly and at a very fair price. No stress or worry working with Ken. Very good experience. Randy Propeck

Alvie is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He explained services to me so I understood what he was doing. He's also affordable. I went to midas to get my brake pads replaced and they told me I was going to need a ton of work done, which would end up costing about $500. I went to Alvie and he inspected my brakes, and told me what I actually needed, which is none of what Midas recommended to me. He saved me so much money, and so much stress! Kacey Rene

I'm not a big review writer, but when a testimonial is deserved, I'll make a point to give it. Everyone at Tech1Auto was great! Fred had me come in the day I called and they did a perfect job repairing my car. These guys know what they're doing and do what needs to be done... and at a fair price. They made it simple, took care of the issues quickly and professionally, and immediately made me a new long time customer. The experience was like going back in time, when taking your car into the shop was more like getting a haircut... with confidence, care, and familiarity. I would recommend Tech1 to anyone that's trying to find that one last really good auto-shop.

Avoid at all costs I took my car to Rick for a second opinion after I was told I needed a new motor. My dad, who lives out of state suggested the second opinion because he thought it sounded like a blown head gasket. So I took it to Rick and told him it was an older car with high mileage and I wasn't sure I wanted to put a lot of money into it if it's something major. After a couple weeks Rick finally got back to me and said I the only thing wrong with the car was the water pump. This seemed too good to be true, but after bad mouthing the previous mechanic Rick assured me that a new water pump would definitely fix the car. When I attempted to drive it for the first time it wouldn't accelerate. I called Rick and had it towed to his shop the next day. Weeks went by without hearing anything from him. I called every day, sometimes twice a day, getting no response. Finally, he called and said his father had died. I felt awful about that, I just wish he'd have communicated that. He finally looked it over and told me it needed new spark plugs and coils. I finally picked it up about 3 weeks after dropping it off the second time. Next day, I try driving it to work and all the warning lights are coming on. I called him again, and had it towed back to him...again. This time he says it's a blown head gasket. By this point I'm frustrated because this is the 3rd time I've taken it to him and now it's something major. When I questioned why he wasn't able to figure that out the first time I brought it in, he got very defensive. He even blamed me, saying I never told him the car had overheated. It was one of the first things I told him. He insists he told me that we would "start with the water pump and go from there." I told him he never said the words "start with." That I would have been concerned by that because I told him up front I didn't want to spend a lot of money repairing it. Then he started accusing me of calling him a liar. This is where it gets interesting. He then tells me that there is no way he could have known the head gasket was blown. His exact words: "I can not see into the cylinder head to see if a headgasket is bad! No one can." Which is interesting, because by all accounts it's a very simple test to determine a blown headgasket. The next guy said there is no excuse for him not being to determine it was a blown headgasket. So, Rick keeps saying things at this point like, "what do you want me to do?" and "I bent over backwards to help you." This was very strange and unsettling to me. I was a customer who paid him to do a job and he was acting very personal about it, like we're old friends and I'm being ungrateful about his "helping me out." So, I took it to a new mechanic a friend recommended (Frank's Honest Auto in Peoria, Arizona). They diagnosed the problem by the next day, had wonderful communication and my car up and running like a champ within a week. I contacted Rick the next day and asked him to send me a copy of my 3 invoices. On them were hand written notes after the fact. On invoice number 2 he wrote at the bottom that the 3rd time I brought it in he did a pressure test and determined a blown head gasket. So I asked him why he didn't do the pressure test the first time considering I told him that the car had overheated. He responds that HE DID do the pressure test the first time around and determined there was no problem with the head gasket at that time. Interesting, because the day before he told me there was no way to determine if a head gasket was blown. And invoice number 1 makes no mention of a pressure test, let alone the results of it. It's only handwritten in after the fact. When I questioned him on this, that's where he got downright nasty. He began calling me names and being very demeaning. Said I was "ignorant" and "unreasonable." Bottom line is, I think he knew it was a blown headgasket all along. He knew I didn't want to spend a lot of money so instead he planned to nickel and dime me, hoping in the end I would just end up spending the money since we were in so much already. I wanted to give him the chance to explain, but instead he insulted and demeaned me, and in the end blocked me and told me to "have a nice life." He never once made any attempt to make this right. Not sure if it's women in general Rick has a problem with, or if he saw an older car and someone not mechanically inclined and decided to take advantage. But I would be very wary of doing business with him.
