I absolutely loved my experience here, they were so friendly and helpful. Went in for a much needed oil change and sat me aside to check if they had what they needed for my car and then were able to get it done in a reasonable time. 100% will be a returning customer and will absolutely recommend to family and friends.
Second time I use their services, all for different services. I was diagnosed incorrectly at Pep Boys. 1500 to fix my AC is what they were claiming. Came to thunderbird auto, they gave a proper diagnostic and spent a fraction of the price. Pleased with my service. Thank you for being great!
Love the service they even taken me home to wait for the car I think u should their great 👍 I give them 10,
Good guys who do good work. I like having their shop in the neighborhood.
These guys are amazing! I honestly cannot say enough good things about this shop. I called them up this morning after my car started making a random cowbell type noise. It was scary sounding and after googling (I know I know - never try to self diagnose) I knew I needed someone to look at it. Francisco told me to bring it in and they looked it over and found a loose shield on my transmission that was causing the issue. Simple fix and it didnt cost me an arm and a leg. While they had it up, they also took the time to point out a few things that would need attention in the near future. No pressure, honest, affordable, and best of all... caring!! These guys actually care about their customers and their community. This shop is one in a million. I am a customer for life now. Thank you so much George and Francisco!!! You guys saved my weekend and my wallet! If you need work done on your car, call these guys. You won’t regret it.
Took my tc in for rotors and brakes all around and they got it done quickly. Quality job from quality mechanics.
Good people. Replaced my Ujoint and yoke at a reasonable price.
Amazing guys. They always try to make your experience top notch. I recommend them to everyone. Honest mechanics and that is rare
Great experience!! My van is running again! They were helpful, honest, and fast. Fair prices and I couldn’t be happier! Will definitely be back.
They stand behind their work. Always a good experience. This is a good, honest shop. Would recommend every time.
Thunderbird Auto........ Im so glad I finally took my car there to be serviced. They did a Awesome job.!!! George let me know just what needs to be done to my car plus a estimate which was very reasonable. He is a very nice man. And Jose was Awesome too!!! I will continue taking my car to them as they value their costumers!!! My one regret,,,,,, I did not take my car there sooner .!!! i rate them a 5 STARS Plus!!!
The group of auto mechanics working at Thunderbird are absolutely top notch. I decided to take my truck to this shop after being constantly told I needed additional unnecessary repair at another shop. These guys located the issues I was having and repaired my truck to a fully fixed status. Not only that they don’t try and sell you things you don’t need. The owner is very informative, fair priced, and timely with his repairs. He even went ahead and fixed a few things at no additional cost!! I have taken my vehicle here several times and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks again for the help and repair Thunderbird Auto!
Installed my new struts on my 2008 BMW 550i in a short time frame and at an affordable price. Drives much better now, and no problems with the install. Will return for more work needed. Friendly techs and manager. 5 stars all the way.
We have been at Thunderbird Auto Repair twice and the owner operates the business thats Amazing. He provides the best customer service and makes sure you understand what needs to be done. And doesnt pushes to do the job right away as other auto repair shops. Honest, Reliable and LOCAL! Thanks
March 27th, 2020.I am so glad that I found Thunderbird Automotive via Google! What a fantastic, honest, knowledge, and personable group of guys! I was searching for a local, small business for my 2005 PT Cruiser. I prefer supporting local businesses. After reading the great reviews on their website, I decided to call for an appointment. My car had an intermittent ‘check engine’ light, preventing the car from passing the emissions test. Also, I needed an oil change. Only having a few days before my registration would expire, I was very happy they made time for me right away.Francisco is a top notch businessman, mechanic and all around good guy! He and Jose treated me so well, I just cannot find enough good words for them!First, after I dropped my car off, Francisco took me back to my home. Oh, my glovebox had recently jammed and would not close. As soon as Francisco saw that, he figured out the problem in 2 minutes. Now it works perfectly!After performing a diagnostic test, they figured out the problem. Then Francisco spent a lotof his own time driving the manufacturers’ suggested ‘drive cycle’, to reset the codes. Not only that, he actually took my car to the emissions testing station and got the passing test done for me! Wow! What a great guy!After that, and the oil change, Francisco picked me up at my home so I could get my car.This was the very best customer service I have ever experienced from any automotive repair shop! Thunderbird Automotive will be mygo to place for all future car problems, and/or preventative service!Please call Francisco for your car repairs!You won’t be sorry! They turned a car problem headache, into a very pleasant day for me!Thank you, Francisco!They deserve 10 stars!
Awesome place quality work and more than fair
Do not go there
Francisco, Jose and Jorge are really great guys and charge very reasonably. I came to them with my car, that needed quite a bit of work done, that would have easily cost me thousands of dollars at the dealership. They were very transparent with the cost and labor. They fixed my car and saved me from the potential financial headache!
Cant thank this guys enough, had my car up and running. Did such a great job and explained everything in detail to me. Go check them out if you having any car trouble at all. They know what they are doing!!!! Theyll get you in and out. Thx guys!!!!
I was sketchy of local repair shops since I’m new to the area, but saw 4.5 star reviews decided to give it try and was not disappointed! Buick Enclave needed catalytic converters changed, everywhere else was pricey but here they gave me a great price! And great customer service! Thank you!
This is the second time Ive used this shop, quotes were correct, work was done well, fixed all my problems with my transit, Thanks for the great work!
Words can not express my gratitude. Francisco went above and beyond to help me. I went in to get my passenger rear door fixed and he called in to find out information about parts etc but found out there was a recall on the door latches for my Ford Fiesta 2012 and instead of taking the work and money for his business f he honestly gathered information about the recall and kindly directed me to the nearest ford dealership where they repaired the latches free of charge. If your looking for a honest mechanic Thunderbird Auto Repair is the place to go. Such sweet, honest and warm hard workingmen. Thank you!!!!
El Mirages last honest auto mechanic? I took my 99 Durango in for a coolant leak. I knew it was the bypass hose but I didnt have the time or tools to do it myself. Ive struggled with the auto mechanics in town....never using them twice. I decided to give this place a try. I met Francisco at his location and he looks at the vehicle and made some guesses as to what could be wrong. Francisco ultimately concluded that until he takes it apart and looks he wont know for sure.(oh-oh, Ive heard that before) Good thing I did know what was wrong so I waited for the call from Francisco to see what sort of business honestly he had. To my delight the next day Francisco called and said it was just the bypass hose and that the more expensive repairs would not be needed to correct the issue if I couldnt afford it. Francisco offered to change the water pump as well since he already had the work done to get there to replace it. I opted to go for the more expensive repair and get a new water pump anyways, it was 5 years old and it was probably not far off from needing replacement anyways. Thanks Francisco for having business ethics and integrity! Your shop is also clean and organized, another good sign of how you operate your business!
Horrible service!!! I took my car in to get checked for something they ended up changing something (that wasn’t the problem) ended up charging me over 1000$ WHEN THEY DIDNT FIX MY CAR!They also cracked my Engine oil pan!!!
I Came in last Monday to bring my trailblazer in to have a oil leak fixed and check something else that was making a noise from engine. Well turns out it was a gasket and also I needed a new ac compressor. Well once they got into it a little more I also needed a ac tensioner so they also replaced that as well. And when I called to see when the car would be done they told what day and time it should be ready which a lot of shops just say when we a get a chance we will call when it’s done but not here. I was kind of nervous to take my car here at first because I take it to a shop i usually go to and they told me they couldn’t diagnose the oil leak because the engine was dirty I called Thunderbird auto and spoke to Francisco and he told me bring it in don’t worry about it we can find it and sure enough they did. Also I like how they gave me a ride home when I was leaving my car with them which was really awesome because hardly any shops do that for their customers. Also they were a lot cheaper than some of the other shops I would usually go to, but now I won’t have too anymore! I definitely recommend getting your car worked on here they definitely take care of there customers and they don’t rip you off which is a HUGE PLUS! Also there techs are very knowledgeable and know what they are doing! But definitely go check them out for yourself you won’t be disappointed I promise!
Excellent service. They seem to put a lot of care into the experience. The gentleman who ran the invoice and quote was helpful explaining the year guarantee on their work and what they found on my repair and was careful to not pressure into extra unnecessary work as some mechanics do. The mechanic showed me on the vehicle the issue and potential future issues if I’d like to come bac at some point in the future. Seeing it with my own two eyes it was clear they were honest and helpful about what was urgent and what was a future repair to think about. I would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates an honest and straight forward mechanic experience where you can trust they want the best for you, your vehicleC and your wallet.
They worked on my AC, George recomended what needed to be done which was almost a complete system, he got it done the same day great people will definitely be going back for more services.
Great honest place. Hard to find good shop with fair prices and A+ techs. Always friendly and willing to lend a hand.
Francisco and the entire staff are great folks. Had my car worked on due to bad alternator and after explaining what had happened they went above and beyond to ensure the problem is fixed. They even took me home after dropping off my car. Thank you for all your hard work.
My experience here was awesome the mechanics where courteous and gave me good advice about my car. I recommend them I always will take my car to them to be worked on.
Great place good prices I will always bring my 1995 Honda Accord to him
I have being going to Francisco for the last 9 years, have a 1988 Toyota, and Chrysler 300, my granddaughter a 2000 Honda civic . He has worked on three and the two older one have had major repairs, that had to be fixed, after hes explanation what it needs and cost, where very helpful. Has worked on them and test of time havent had no problems with all three. I couldnt go to Gila ben before on 1988 toyota in fear I might not come back, after Francisco worked on engine, A/C, got it right, have crossed the dessert to Calif., Nogales, Tijuana,. Very happy with his work and knowledge. I personally trust him 100 %
Honest and friendly people and very helpful they work on my 03 bmw z4 It was over heating and I when to the dealer they wanted to sell me an new cylinder head I took it to thunderbird auto repair and they find out the radiator reservoir and thermostat was bad. they replace them and my car is running perfect nowthanks guys.
Very honest people do good work on automobiles
I took my 2005 chevy equinox to this because my car would shake when u drive and i test drove it with Francisco to for part of the diagnosis process and we went back o the shop and they said that i had a bad cv axle and struts but the cv axle was more important so we agreed on the cv axle was the first priority and it was going ti be finished the same day.30 minutes before closing the shop calls and tells me that their warehouse where they get their parts from has sent thr wrong part. That right there threw me off. How is a official mechanic shop have the wrong part sent that shows some mis communication there. And the new part wont come until the following morning around 9amThe next day comes and i call them around 2:30 pm t check up on my vehicle they tell me its about to be worked on so i said ok. I go to work and the call back 30 minutes before closing again and they say that the brand new axle has broked when they test drove the car and that the motor mounts needs to be replace (extra 700$ plus struts of 400$ + 184$ for cv axle). I do not understand how the motor mounts came in the picture after we have had a full evaluation to diagnose the car. Im pretty sure if there was bad motor mounts it would have been the first thing to be spotted.Moral if the story DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE. They will create problems to see where you are financially to squeeze out of your money. If you have a reliable mechanic please stick to that mexhanic this place is NOT VERY RELIABLE ON THEIR DIAGNOSIS!Update: This place is officially a jiffed up place.. i drove my car to work today and i discorved that my Alignment is extrememly bad. I dont know if they touched it or if its because they installed the CV axle horribly... DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!!!!!
This is a great shop please give them your business
We like and use this place, they where very respectful and polite. I will use theyre services again.
Called to have a few of my parts installed.serpentine belt tensioner fuel injectors and o2... $420!!!! F that thats highway robbery
