  The guys at Action Auto are always kind and respectful. I never feel pressured to do anything right away but they let me know if there is a safety concern. I recently brought a friend along and she was impressed with the thorough job they did in checking her car. They picked up on a safety problem that the other mechanic she had been going to for years never mentioned, though it was immediately obvious to these folks. She appreciated the honesty and went to get her car the repairs it needed.
  I’m happy with Action Auto this far.

  This company is wonderful. I always have trouble getting people to listen to me on repairs being a single lady. They listen and they advise on what is priority to be fixed right away. They have a shuttle service also for taking you to home or work and or bringing you back to pickup your car/truck.

  I have been an Action Auto customer for several years, and trust all three of my family’s cars to them. I consistently receive honest and accurate information on the current issue, and fair and reasonable pricing for their parts and services. They are truly concerned with the quality of their work, and keeping my vehicles in top operating condition!
  This latest incident with my truck ‘self-shifting’ into 4-wheel drive was a computer issue. I was sure that it would require a trip to the Dodge dealership to use their special equipment and advanced electronic capabilities. The Action Auto team tackled the problem – found the short in the computer, and tore down, procured and replaced the part in less than a day. It was fully tested to insure that the correct signal was now being sent to the transmission. They have impressed me again, and did their best to keep my bill as low as possible.

  After hearing about Action Auto Repair on the Mark Salem show, I gave them a try and have been a customer for about three years. If I find or they find a problem, they fix the problem, I never have to come back for a redo, and most importantly the repairs last. Action Auto has a three year or 36,000 mile parts and labor warranty on all repairs. As a woman, they treat me with respect. I see no reason to go elsewhere.

  Shop did a great job. The fuel pump on he truck failed on my way to the airport. I was out of town during the whole process but was kept in the loop by Nick Ortiz. After the repair I was returning on a Sunday, and Nick took time out from his day off to meet me at the shop and get me on my way. Nick was as polite and helpful as he could be. Without a doubt, the best experience I could have had. And to those who have wretched for a living, work bay was spotless. Shop was immaculate.

  I too my car in because the Check engine light was on and when Action Auto Repair read the code, it indicated a missfire on the #2 Cylinder. The worked on it and finally was able to determine that there was a Vacuum line below the manifold that had deteriorated because of the age of the car. Once they replaced the tiny part, it was running like a new car again. Their Service excellence and professional customer service along with their competative pricing will always bring me back to Action Auto Repair for all of my repairs. The have the expertise and Staff that know their job when it comes to all make and models of Automobiles. I would give them a FIVE STAR Rating and will be back again to have another great experience in getting my car fixed correctly the first time. Thanks again Action Auto Repair for taking excellent care of me and my older car. Leo J. – Glendale, AZ

  So I found this shop because of the state VVR program to help with emissions, I chose it because of the reviews and I can tell you I was not disappointed! This place is great, they were very accommodating and friendly. My car was not an easy task and it took several weeks to finally get it passed because of me needing the car back and having to drive it through the drive cycles but they were very helpful every step of the way. They made me feel like family, and never at any point did I feel I was being taken advantage of. I highly recommend Action Auto they really know what they’re doing and are very honest. I am forever grateful, everyone really went above and beyond to make sure my car was ready especially Nick and Joe.

  On my way to a routine oil change, I was surprised by some unplanned transmission trouble. Action Auto Repair had worked on my car in the past so I know I could trust their opinion. Not only did they guys recommend that I reach out to the dealer regarding an extended warranty, they also drove me home from the shop. My dealer honored the extended warranty and the guys at Action Auto Repair were professional, supportive and kind throughout the process. I definitely appreciated the professionalism and piece of mind. I highly recommend this shop based off their past services which were fair, timely and convenient considering they offer text messaging updates and complimentary rides too!

  First time visiting this repair shop and won’t be the last. Drive by the shop on my way to work and noticed they always seemed busy, looked clean, and invested in the outward appearance of their shop with flowers, electronic sign, and a nice but not overpowering street sign. Went in for a quote on brakes and a potential oil leak and from the time I stepped up to the counter the service was solid and friendly. Received my quote on the brakes and told the leak was poor work replacing oil filter on recent oil change, national chain replaced oil. Ended up having the work performed and happy with everything and will likely go back for my oil changes. Family owned with the owner working the counter and staff is happy and friendly.

  Beyond excellent service and courtesy every time! My DIL has taken her truck here for years and she always had positive things to say. My first visit was this year. Not only were the guys super polite on the phone, they were speedy. My issue was a tail light needed replacing and it’s not something I can do (or get anyone else to do as it turned out). I brought my vehicle in, the gentleman asked for the key and the other gentleman asked after my DIL. Before we were done catching up the other gent was back with the key. He has changed the tail light!!! The cost was so extremely reasonable that I felt guilty! Since that time my son has needed truck work and will take it there. My next major maintenance is coming up and I am going back. These guys are the best and care about their customers. You won’t regret working with them.

  My Wife and I live 5 hrs north of the Phoenix area. Last year we spent several days in the Phoenix area looking for the best used mini van we could afford. We called Action Auto Repair, not knowing any mechanics in the area, and asked if they would be willing to do a pre-buy inspection for us. They did a thorough job and we decided to purchase the vehicle As I made arrangements to pay for the inspection I was told it was on them and to just give them a good review. That was a surprise and very much appreciated. Well so far we have been blessed with a solid used car for the last year since then. Its taken me a little while to get this review up but I promised I would. Where do you find this kind of kindness these days? I was very impressed. God Bless

  Found Action Auto Repair when my passenger window would not go up. My actuators had also gone mad long before the window. If anyone knows what actuators are you know how annoying the noise and the cost to repair is. I originally took my car in for the window but let them know about the annoying noise my fans were making. They gave me an estimate and it was much more reasonable than other shop quotes.

Long story short, the first auto shop screwed me over and never fixed the problem. The guys at auction auto repair not only fixed the problem but also did it in a very short period of time.

  I had heard very positive things about Action Auto while listening to a local radio talk show dealing with car repair. Since I had to jump my car to get it started today…and go to work today, I decided to try them out since they are close to my employer. I’m normally a person that takes my car to the dealer despite it having over 119,000 miles on it but decided to ‘brave it’ and try an independent auto shop. I called to make an appointment and spoke with Joe, who was pleasant, cordial, and easy to talk to. He mentioned they also provide complimentary shuttle service, which sealed the deal since I needed to get back to work. Upon arrival, I noticed the service counter/waiting room was clean and nicely decorated and Joe greeted me upon entering. I explained my situation and Joe said they’d check it out and call me with the details, and immediately provided my ride back to work. I received a call within 40 minutes and he confirmed the battery was bad but the charging system all checked out good. He also mentioned that my oil change was due and my 120,000 mile tune-up was coming up soon. So, instead of taking it to the dealer I opted to have Action Auto go ahead with the necessary items. They called me a few hours later and said it was ready and they could pick me up at my convenience. They showed up within 10 minutes in a nice cool car and I was in, out, and back to work in 20 minutes. I will tell other family, friends and coworkers of my very positive experience. As a side note, they also have a few perks such as 36 month/36,000 mile nationwide warranty program and also a really slick Repair Rewards Club that offers additional savings at no cost to you. I’m really glad I decided to break the dealer habit and give Action Auto a try…you should too!

  I’m on my second new Subaru and I completely trust them with the maintenance (and repair if ever needed) and care of it. I was in for oil change, they give you a ride if needed or you can wait in their comfortable lobby. They have been my mechanics for quite a while, my first forester had over 140,000 miles when I finally decided to get a new car. In a way I wished I hadn’t because there was nothing mechanically wrong (it ran great) and it still looked good too. I know with their maintenance, diagnostic, and repair expertise I will have this one for just as long if not longer than my last subaru. I not only would recommend them, I do….constantly because they are “that good” and I have no worries they will be “that good” to their next customer. If you are looking for a trustworthy, affordable, and friendly shop…look no further you have found it! Congratulations

  I have driven by this location for many years and never really considered stopping in for any service. Not that it couldn’t have been an option, just that I had another service repair tech that I use to go to. Since then I became friends with a wonderful neighbor whom has recently taken a job at this location. His accolades of the company did more than impress but of course made my mind up to choose to follow him and bring my daughters vehicle to the shop. The front desk staff was very friendly and courteous and has a wonderful sense of humor. I will most definitely be bringing my vehicles back to Auction Auto and highly recommend Josh as he is always spot on with identifying work required and does an above and beyond job!

  First they recommended a tow company, and THEY were great! Then when I got to the shop they told me how things would go. It was going to take a few days because of my car being so “specialty”, but they would keep me informed along the way. They did, I got several calls to get parts approved AND TO OK the cost. I was thrilled they gave me a ride home AND came and got me today when it was ready. The cost was a little high but I think it was worth getting my car back out on the road!!

  I’ve been using Action Auto for several years, going back to their previous location. Found them because of convenience to my workplace. On my first visit, Tom told me that while he could repair the problem I came in with, I didn’t really need to have it done — wouldn’t be a good use of my money. I was impressed with the honesty. Most recent visit was to get a just-purchased used car in shape for a cross country trip starting the next day. The crew did everything I asked, including a timing belt change, and the car performed perfectly on the cross-country trip. Pete even called me back a few days later to find out if the car made it OK. Great shop to work with. And the free shuttle service is a nice bonus!!

  I took my repair to this establishment based on certain reviews online. Unfortunately, they were not as honest and forthcoming as the reviews suggested.

  I took my truck in for a repair that based on several sites (repair pal, manufacturer forums, etc.) should have run between $350-450. I was in a pinch and decided to leave it with them using their early bird drop off. The price when I spoke with them later that day came back at $515.

  Upon examining the bill, the labor was charged appropriate, however, the part which was listed on the manufacturer’s website at an MSRP of $264 was billed to me at $315. Additionally, the part was readily available locally for approximately $200 (and at the dealership! a few blocks away for the MSRP!) and the after-market at $100 (autozone or anywhere). Not only was I charged this exorbinant surcharge, but I was not even given the option to choose the aftermaket price, they simply made the decision and told me after the repair that they thought it was best. I would think it is every car owners right to CHOOSE the option they see as best, taking into consideration the repair shop’s recommendation.

  Upon calling their attention to this issue, they said they would check with the distributor and call me back. They never called back. Instead I had to call the next day and they informed me that yes, the distributor added something on, and so did they… “That’s how they make money.” Yeah, by the fistfuls apparently.

  This is the exact type of deceptive business practice that runs rampant in the industry and makes people so wary of auto repair shops. Potential customers should not be fooled this is another run of the mill rip off business, use them at your own peril.

  Note – It amazes me these local businesses don’t appreciate what it means to have a good reputation, consumers are no longer helpless or without the ability to protect themselves and others, yet somehow ripping me off for about a $100 is good business practice…at the expense of how much lost business? Terrible business sense.

  Response from Action Auto Repair

  We have served Deer Valley neighborhood since 1983, maintain an A+ rating with Better Business Bureau, and always stand behind our work. In fact, we offer a best-in-business nationwide 3-year 36,000-mile warranty at minimum on all work performed. We are sad to hear that Christopher was not completely satisfied with the work provided. We do stay away from cheaper products due to higher levels of failure. That is no excuse for the $51 difference. We made the refund as soon as it was brought to my attention. Also, we reviewed the pricing in our online system to ensure that our prices remain competitive. Our online reviews speak for themselves. Action Auto encourages open communications at all times, and we appreciate hearing from Christopher. We wish him well, and we are very sorry that he wasn’t satisfied with his repair. –Tom O’Kane, Owner

  I had transmission problems and they did an overhaul at a very fair price.

They recommend stuff that’s related (not unrelated) to your immediate need, but also tell you that you can ride it out for a while if need be. No pressure to fix things on the spot. I’ve had random things fixed on my older Xterra, from electrical probs to new shocks. Always quality work, always pretty fast, and always truly fixed. No going back for adjustments – right the first time.

My bill was exactly what was given to me on the estimate and all work was explained to me in great detail.

  My wife and I were traveling through AZ. in June 2011, we were experiencing engine hesitation and loss of power in our car.We were on our way back to our home in Las Vegas but needed service before going any further. We contacted some friends and they recommended Action Auto Repair on Deer Valley. We were about 12 miles from this shop and found it very quickly.We showed up at this garage with no appointment and were greeted by the owner Mr. Tom. We explained our problems to him and he was very considerate and attentive to our needs.He made a few suggestions and we agreed to have his team take a look at our 2008 Volvo XC- 90.We also informed Tom that we had just had the car serviced at the dealership in Las Vegas and they charged us $1245.38 for the same problem that is re-occuring right now. After having the car for about 20 mins. Tom came back up front and explain exactly what the problem was and how it could permanently be fixed for about $645.00. After we had just been ripped off by the dealer ship we new that they would only try and find another problem and charge us the same if not more and not fix it for a second time.It was a no brainer and we agreed to have Toms shop fix it once and for all and he would warranty the work for 90 days.My wife and I were so happy we found Action Auto. Tom is the most honest and considerate business owner we have ever met.Our car runs better than ever and almost a year later, happy to say the Volvo runs perfect. We highly recommend Mr. Tom and his great crew to any one needing mechanical work done.

  I needed an honest repair shop, being a woman, I felt that repair shops tend to charge or try to cheat me. I went in for a heater hose that needed to be repaired. I was given a good price, they were honest on how much the price of the hose that I needed and how much the labor would be. I told them I would pick up my vehicle the next day and it was ready. I really like this shop and its people.

  We’re very pleased with all aspects of doing business with Action Auto Repair. They were recommended to us by Brian at Just Brakes and Alignment and we are greatful to him for his referral. These past few years we have taken all three of our vehicles to Action Auto for various repairs, tune-ups and care. We have never been disappointed. The latest service was to repair our air conditioning in our Yukon. We had it worked on a couple years ago at another shop and that was just one big disaster and disappointment. We’re always pleased with their services which are handled in a professional and courteous manner always displaying honesty, efficiency, knowledge and willingness to help us understand the problem. We can say that we would proudly recommend them to our friends because in our opinion they are THE BEST!!! L. L. Noble and D. J. Noble

  Having an intermittent “hesitation” when accelerating. Action Auto’s knowledge and expertise had my car fixed and running smoothly when in a half of a day. Their service is always friendly and it is my judgement that they truly want to help you.

  I went to Action Auto years ago and their service has always been exceptional. I forgot about them until we bought a Volvo from a private party with a whole lot of hidden things wrong with it and didn’t know where to get the work done. It needed a new turbo, exhaust system and head gasket to name a few. After fixing one thing another went wrong. They stuck with it until every last issue was resolved and charged us a reasonable price on everything. They have been in business for many years and have always done exceptional work at decent prices. My wife and I drive new cars, but when something goes wrong or we need service; we will take them to Action Auto!

  I’m not truck savvy at all! I know where the gas goes and how to get my music pumping – and thats all I care about. I had an oil leak, what I thought was major and was expecting to pay big bucks. When Tom called me, said the oil filter was loose and suggested an oil change. $41.00 and I was expecting it to be way up there. They could have ripped me off like so many other car repair places – but they didn’t. They just got a customer for life!!

  We have this one and several other cars and have taken all of them to this mechanic, He is great and in all cases has given us a fair price and clear information on what actually needed to be done. In this case our Beetle had overheated a couple times, but in general had symptoms of needing fan repair or replacement. Sure enough that is what it needed and it has been running great since the repair. He also let us know that the car had been in an accident (we knew this) but it was nice of him to point it out.

  I have a 1991 Chevy Caprice Station Wagon that did not pass the emissions test because it was running too rich and emitting too much carbon monoxide. I was recommended by Maricopa County to take it to Action Auto Repair. This was my first time taking my car to Tom and his Team of experts. While every two years before, I failed the emissions on the Catalytic Converter and had to always replace it with a new one. Two years ago I replaced it with the Midas converter. When I took it there this time I was told that the “catalytic converter was replaced not too long ago” and that it was OK. They said that the EGR Valve and a Tuneup would resolve the CO problem. Their estimate for the work was over $950.00.
  When I took it to Action Auto Repair, they checked the entire car over and I was told that the Catalytic Converter was not working properly. I asked that they give my my car the complete checkup to see if there were any other problems. The results were that by changing the catalytic converter and a new fule filter, the car passed the emissions test and nothing else was needed. This was GREAT because my “Old Faithful” has over 222,0057 miles on it and it runs better then ever. Thanks to Tom and his Team of excellent mechanics, I now have a place I can take my car to in the future and know hat it will be repaired correctly and without any unecessary repair bills.
  It is extremely hard today to find an excellent mechanic that knows what they are doing and doesn’t “take you to the cleaners” with unecessary repair bills.
  Thanks again for taking good care of ME and my 1991 Chevy Station Wagon. We will be back to see you in the future.

  I was referred by a coworker to try Action Auto 2 years ago. At the time, I had bought a used car and just had a dealership shop mechanic tell me that my car needed about $1000 worth of replacements and repairs, including new belts. Then, I took it to Action Auto and after they looked at it, they said that the previous owners had maintained it well and nothing was needed other than an oil change. Tom and his mechanics at Action Auto honestly told me that the belts appeared to be newly replaced within the past year. They did not try to sell me things that I I didn’t need. I’ve been taking my vehicles there ever since. They are honest, very thorough, and easy on the wallet!

Everything pointed to this major repair but Tom spent the entire day getting to the bottom of the problem to make sure that’s what it was, and it wasn’t. It was actually a new part that we had just installed that was not working properly. Any other shop would definitely not have taken the time to find out what was really wrong with our car. We have been using Action Auto for many, many years and will continue to do so!! Thanks guys!!

Tom treated every customer fairly, never taking advantage of the program or customers, quickly and effectively resolving any concerns. My family began using Action Auto as a result and we’ve been pleased with every repair. Prices are fair; work is honest, well-done, and only done if needed; and customer service is top notch. It gives me GREAT peace of mind knowing I have somebody I can trust in the car repair industry. I am confident when recommending Action Auto to friends and family because of my personal experience and because all of my referrals have been pleased with their experiences too. Many thanks to Tom and Action Auto!!

I’ve also had a couple of occaisions where I’ve brought a vehicle in because I thought I had a problem, and they checked it out and there actually was not a problem, so no charge. I’ve always felt its a good sign when a shop is willing to tell you there isn’t a problem, and not try to charge you for something unnecessary.
