Tempe Auto Repair

Professional and talented transmission shop. Eric and staff were a pleasure to deal with

If you love your car and it needs "fixing"- this is the place to take it.

I came in with a transmission issue. They were friendly and knowledgeable. Every time they came to tell me what was wrong and what they're suggestion was they brought the parts to the lobby to show me the broken part/issue which bolstered my trust in them. One of the guys even walked me back to look at the vehicle to show me exactly what was wrong and explain what needed to be fixed and why. It's hard sometimes to find a trustworthy mechanic and one that goes to the effort to explain and not talk down to you (especially as a woman), but I definitely felt they were trustworthy and respectful. I will absolutely be coming back with car issues and for regular service. I was very pleased and impressed with their service today.

I was charged almost $200 for the ac door actuator that I found online for $25. I could not find one for over $40. I was told that my engine air filter was dirty and needed a new one which I had just changed 2 days prior and when I checked it at home it was bright white perfectly clean. Edit in response: So it doesn't come with the warranty, I pay for the warranty. You should not put the price of the warranty included as the price of the part. That's lying, so that's why I was thrown off apparently. There is value in diagnosing correctly, that's why I paid $117 for the diagnostic.

If you are in Tempe,Az vicinity and need fair, transparent auto care, I highly suggest American 5 Star! They are friendly, affordable and experts in the care of your 🚘 😀! Literally they have always steered me in the right direction to get the job done and in a timely manner. Thanks folks!- Divina Flamingarrow.

The best mechanic shop I’ve been to. This place will not BS you and try to upswell you on services you don’t need. Super friendly and knowledgeable.

Best in the west thanks you eric
