“They checked my 2004 BoxsterS from head to toe. Told me what needed to be done and in what priority. I had them take care of it. Turned out great! Honest. Great pricing. Knowledgeable. Trustworthy. Mike is a good man. I won’t go anywhere else!!!”
“Outstanding service. Exceptional care. No wonder Buck’s Automotive Service was voted Best of Tucson 2025! Due to recently relocating to Tucson, I needed to find a good and honest auto mechanic. I went to my go-to source for reliable automotive repair service information; AAA. I searched for the closest AAA approved auto repair facility and found Buck’s Automotive Service Center. By chance I had just read about Buck’s in the “Best of Tucson 2025” and I also read the many positive reviews Buck’s had on the web. I took my car to Buck’s this morning for a routine oil & filter service/general once over. Mike and his team were attentive, professional and focused on providing me with a clear explanation of what to expect. I was very impressed by the high-level of customer care, spotless office, as well as their clean and welcoming waiting area. Service was quickly completed and as a veteran I was not charged. Not only did Mike make me feel valued as a customer he also made it evident that he supports active military and veterans alike. This type of attention is rarely seen anymore. It was a joy to find that kind of thoughtfulness and pride. I look forward to having my vehicle serviced again at Buck’s and will not hesitate in highly recommending Buck’s Automotive Service Center to anyone in need of quality automotive maintenance.”

“Wow, these guys are the real deal! Not only did Dan's Toy Shop point out where another shop went wrong in fixing something, they also pointed out a couple other subtle things (felt during driving) that I also noticed but the Lexus dealership and another shop did not during a PPI. The difference in ride quality, after some repairs were done, was night and day (felt like a whole new car). I will be coming back!”

“Parker Automotive was incredible. My daughters car broke down and I didn't know any mechanics in the Tucson area. I read some online reviews about Parker and the reviews were spot on, Parker Automotive was fantastic. They got our car in immediately and fixed everything quickly and for under the price I was expecting. Their customer service and communication was great. Will absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a trustworthy mechanic in Tucson.”
“I have an auto service in this place for my car BMW328i.
Want to say thanks for Jon and Mike for their professionalism,
friendly attitude, great customer service, clear explanation, and friendliness.
Will recommend this place to my friends.”
“I needed a new auto repair shop since the place I went to closed. I had a brake issue and they diagnosed the problem and I needed a wheel bearing.
The reviews are spot on for the excellent quality service and would recommend to everyone ? Phil and Taylor are great and explained what else my RAV4 was going to need!!! Thanks ?”
“Tucson is lucky to have a manual transmission / differential/ gearbox shop of this caliber. I brought them a very neglected 4 speed transmission and they gave it new life. Thank you Lloyd's!”
“I'm driving from Seattle to Mexico and beyond and needed an oil change, fuel filters changed, and transmission fluid changed for my Chevy Duramax diesel truck before crossing the border. I also needed advice and help changing O-rings on 2 hydraulic cylinders on my camper. I called from 300 miles away and made an appointment for the next day and they texted me an estimate. I confirmed and showed up first thing the next day. Everyone at Cima Automotive was completely professional, the shop was busy yet spotlessly clean, all work was completed on time and for less(!!) than the estimate, and the owner and crew provided all the help and confidence I needed to change the O-rings as well. I almost never give reviews but this shop truly deserves 5 stars for their quality of work, service, and help to a traveler. It's always difficult finding a quality auto repair shop, I really feel like I won the lottery by finding Cima.
Thank you Cima!!!!”
“It was my first time to tuck's automotive since I lost my usual mechanic due to retirement. It was very reasonably priced and an awesome staff. I will be returning for all of my car mechanical needs.”
“Barry & Nick have been doing this a long time. Both are very honest whether you like it or not. They are very busy because they are GOOD! No time for small talk, so be prepared to get to the point when you call or go in. They do all my major repairs and I appreciate them, thanks fellas!”
“This shop is by far the best automotive shop I have ever had the pleasure to do business with. My husband and I moved to the area this past year and have taken our ford F-350 diesel truck in a few times. Everyone in the shop is extremely friendly. Joe the owner is second to none, he is very honest, thorough, and explains everything to a T! We are very fortunate to have this shop so close to home. Scheduling is simple, work is speedy and reliable. We always have a great time taking in our truck they treat us like friends and family! You will not find a more honest team of mechanics in the Tucson area. Who knew taking a truck in for repairs could leave you with a smile on your face not to mention the peace of mind knowing the amazing quality work Joe and his team does and that they stand by their work. Thank you Joe for all your honesty and hard work. We are fortunate to have found you and your shop.”
“Monsoon will absolutely take care of you. Had issues with my vehicle after having excessive work done at a previous auto repair shop. Monsoon found multiple more issues that where left behind by the other guys. Very professional. Strongly recommend”
“Pure knowledge and professionalism.
Lee brothers make sure your money is spent on research, repair, and right price.
Service with a handshake and smile.
Great shop!”
“PV came highly recommended and now I know why. They got me in quick to troubleshoot my Jeep’s steering ( free shakedown) and then got me scheduled for the repair which was done well and reasonably priced. They know Jeeps! Thanks!”
“I highly recommend Simmons 4x4 to have a job done correctly the first time. They have kept our family on the road for 10 years across five different brands the vehicle.”

“I scheduled an appointment for my daughter's car to get a headlight checked. Bryan was amazing!
He treated my daughter with utmost respect, found that the light was not properly installed and repaired it. As a father, with my daughter relocated to Tucson to attend U of A, I feel very fortunate and grateful that we have found a shop we can trust not only with vehicle repairs but also with being respectful and honest.
Kuddos to you Bryan! Thank you very much for treating my daughter with so much respect.
Needless to say, this shop is very highly recommended.”
“Wildcat Automotive was awesome. My wife was in town for just a couple days and had an issue with her brakes. Wildcat was very accommodating and took care of it the same day. They also identified a couple other issues we knew were due for and offered to take care of them- no upsells.
The pricing was very reasonable and the service was fantastic. Overall they did a fantastic job with an ultra quick turnaround time.”

“My fiancé and I called Ed Taylor's Auto Clinic in a ditch effort to find a mechanic to look at a newly purchased used car I bought while visiting my brother in Tucson. The car I bought had its engine light turn on and started to chug very hard. Late in the day when we called, we were beyond happy to hear a pleasant voice that said they could take us in and inspect the car.
Lonni was the mechanic who answered our call and inspected the car. Upon arrival, Lonni took roughly 25-30 minutes to run tests on the car. When done, I was expecting to hear a list of problems that needed to be fixed. Much to my happy surprise, in that time, Lonnie not only correctly dignosed the problem with the car, he, in turn, had also fixed the two issues causing the major chugging and the engine light to come on.
In a time of panic and much distress, we couldn't have been more lucky to find this shop with the services provided and mechanics provided. In an industry with much distrust and fear of bad mechanics, Lonni and Ed Taylor bailed us out of a scary and bad situation and for a modest fee of services.
If we lived in Tucson, Ed Taylor and Lonni without a question of a doubt would be our go-to mechanic and shop after this experience. How incredible it is to be so lucky to find the best mechanic in town of a rush ditch effort for help.
Thank you so much!!!
The shop may not look like much, but trust me, everyone in town should bring their car here if they haven't found a mechanic that can be trusted.
Definitely bring your car here for an inspection after purchasing a used car.”
“I’ve going there for a few years now. Justin is very nice and knowledgeable. People there are super nice. Price is very fair too! It’s hard to find good car shops. I would recommend it!”
“Failed emissions! Took the car in to Excel Automotive Repair. Super honest and was very up front with costs. No surprise charges at pick up. They did multiple services cheaper than anywhere else. And they did a good job. Passed emissions too! Highly recommend!!”
“The associates are very nice. Steve called me and gave me updates, as my car was there for over a week. I will continue to come to this shop for maintenance. I really appreciated the customer service here”
“Jim is very trustworthy and open when communicating his findings. He accurately evaluates the cause for issues and provides superior workmanship. Best in Tucson!”
“I called for an appointment and got in fast. When we picked up the car, she brought out the old part to show us. I felt they were very honest and did great, fast work.”
“Did a great job,very friendly, only did work that needed to be done. I was on vacation went out of his way to complete the work on my car so I could be on my way. Thanh you again.”
“It’s tough to find a good shop. I had some work done on my transmission here a few months ago. They charged me for a comprehensive transmission performance check, which seemed like a scam in hindsight. When I had problems again this month, though, they fixed it for free with courteous service! I highly recommend these folks.”
“I've been using Automotive Specialists for years and years now. Brion and Mitch are honest, trustworthy and they truly care that you have a safe vehicle. They have gone above and beyond so many times, I would consider going elsewhere.”
“Nihoto Automotive service and repair of Japanese mechanical automobile's (Nissan) is an excellent, professional family owned and operated business. I trust their diagnosis, and repair recommendations. Two Thumbs-Up!”
“Had a clutch go out on me in the middle of an intersection, called a few locations around town to obtain a quote for a repair, which yielded some insane costs that we laughable. This place offered a fair price on this job. They provided an open bay easily accessible for the tow truck, and had a location which my vehicle could be parked in overnight. Filled out a slip with my details, dropped off the key, and they called me the next morning to keep me updated. The staff were experts in their field, and offered me no BS straight to the point information about other issues which were identified with my vehicle. The clutch was ready in a week, and I was on my way. I appreciate this type of business, and the people who run it, and will continue to come here for any future transmission PM's, or maintenance issues I encounter. Thanks guys!”
