The Highest Rated Auto Repair in Glendale

Ranked by the rating and review count on each listing, not by who pays us. Nobody pays us.

  1. Cool Fix LLC Mobile Mechanic★ 5.063 reviews · Mobile & Shop
  2. Murray's mobile mechanic★ 5.044 reviews · Mobile
  3. Nando & Sons Auto Repair★ 5.041 reviews · Repair Shop
  4. Mobile Mechanic "Toy Monkey Automotive Repair LLC."★ 5.022 reviews · Mobile & Shop
  5. Alpha Roadside Assistance Mobile Tire Shop★ 4.9153 reviews · Tire Shop

The best reviewed business in Glendale right now is Cool Fix LLC Mobile Mechanic, at 5.0 stars across 63 reviews. Every shop above clears 4.3 stars with at least 15 reviews behind it, which is the point where a rating starts meaning something. Plenty of shops hold five stars on four reviews. That is not the same thing.

Of the 22 businesses listed in Glendale, there are 17 that will come to you, 13 with a workshop you drive to and 3 diesel specialists. None has been claimed by its owner yet, so the hours and phone numbers come from public records. An unclaimed listing is not a worse business. It just means we built the record and nobody has corrected it yet.

Getting a Car Fixed in Glendale

Independent shops in Arizona usually charge $95 to $135 an hour for labor, which is about the national average. A quote is the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts. At Arizona rates, a starter replacement runs about $245 to $740 and a water pump replacement runs about $310 to $890 for a midsize car.

Of the 20 Glendale listings that post their hours, 15 open on Saturday and 11 on Sunday. 12 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.

13 businesses in Glendale have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 9 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 41 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.

For work a general shop may turn away, Glendale has 3 diesel specialists and 2 tire shops. Call ahead with the year, make and model so you do not waste a trip.

Vehicles more than five years old that are registered in the Phoenix area (Area A, in Maricopa and parts of Pinal County) or the Tucson area (Area B, in part of Pima County) need an emissions test. Vehicles registered elsewhere but used to commute to work in these areas are also covered, and 1966 and older models are exempt. The test must be done no more than 90 days before the registration expires. Details are on the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, Vehicle Emissions Control site.

Owning a Car in Glendale

67%Drive to Work Alone

Glendale sees about 175 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 115 of them reach 100°F. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.

Only about 8 inches of rain fall in a year, so it is sun, not water, that ages a car here. Rubber parts, wiper blades and dashboards crack sooner.

The average commute in Glendale is 28 minutes each way, and 67% of workers drive there alone.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in Glendale

Buying a used car in Glendale? PPI Auto, our sister company, sends an inspector to the car for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. That is a 122 point check with a full scan and a road test, and the report comes back the same day. Dealer lot, private seller or auction, it works the same.

There are 449 car lots within 8 miles of Glendale, and 421 of them sell used. PPI Auto grades 195 of them A to F from their reviews, and 24 get an F. See the Phoenix dealer grades before you go look at a car.

Parts of Arizona require an emissions test. Ask the seller for the last test report, and if the check engine light is on, walk away until someone has read the code.

Questions About Auto Repair in Glendale

Cool Fix LLC Mobile Mechanic, Murray's mobile mechanic, Nando & Sons Auto Repair are the top three by rating among businesses with a real review history behind them.

Are there mobile mechanics in Glendale?

Yes. 17 of the businesses we list in Glendale will travel to you rather than making you bring the car in. That covers most servicing, brakes, batteries, diagnostics and plenty of repairs that do not need a lift.

Where do I get a diesel looked at in Glendale?

3 businesses in Glendale list themselves as diesel specialists. It is worth going to one rather than a general shop, because the diagnostic equipment and the emissions work on a modern diesel are genuinely different.

How much do mechanics charge per hour in Glendale?

Independent shops in Arizona usually bill $95 to $135 an hour for labor. The national range is $95 to $140. Dealers charge more. Most quotes are the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts, so ask the shop how many hours it is billing you for.

Does Arizona require a car inspection?

Vehicles more than five years old that are registered in the Phoenix area (Area A, in Maricopa and parts of Pinal County) or the Tucson area (Area B, in part of Pima County) need an emissions test. Vehicles registered elsewhere but used to commute to work in these areas are also covered, and 1966 and older models are exempt. The test must be done no more than 90 days before the registration expires.

Are any mechanics in Glendale open on Sunday?

Yes. 11 of the businesses we list in Glendale show Sunday hours, including Cool Fix LLC Mobile Mechanic, Murray's mobile mechanic and Wheel-It Industries. Call first, because Sunday hours are often short and some only take emergencies.

How do I know a shop in Glendale is trustworthy?

Look at the review count as well as the stars, because five stars from four people tells you very little. None of the 22 listings in Glendale has been claimed yet, so call to confirm hours and what the shop works on. Get the quote in writing before any work starts.

Does it cost more to use a mobile mechanic in Glendale?

Usually not. 17 of the businesses in Glendale come to you, and with no building to pay for, they often charge a bit less than a shop. What they cannot do in a driveway is work that needs a lift or a press, so heavy jobs still go to a shop.

How does the heat in Glendale affect my car?

Glendale averages about 175 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Heat wears out batteries faster than cold does, and it is hard on the AC, the cooling system and tires. Test the battery every year once it is three years old and have the AC checked before summer.

Can I get a pre-purchase inspection in Glendale?

Yes. PPI Auto, our sister company, inspects used cars in Glendale for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. The inspector comes to the car, runs a 122 point check and sends the report the same day. Call 951-267-8500 to book.

How do I check a mechanic's license in Glendale?

Ask the shop for any state or city license it holds and get the estimate in writing before work starts. None of the 22 listings in Glendale has given us a license number yet. Rules differ by state, so check with Arizona's consumer protection office if a shop's answer sounds wrong.

Why do some Glendale listings have photos and others do not?

7 of the 22 listings in Glendale show a photo or logo. They come from the owner, from the business's own website, or from our own jobs for Supercanic locations. We never put a stock or AI photo on someone else's business. Owners can claim their listing free and add their own.

How does MechanicRank check the mechanics in Glendale?

We call, text and email the businesses we list to confirm their details, and listings whose numbers turn out to be dead come off the directory. Nobody can pay to rank higher.

Why use MechanicRank to find a mechanic in Glendale?

Because we work with these mechanics, not just list them. Besides checking listings, we run free study guides and certification exams for mechanics, publish repair cost guides by state, and give shops software to send written quotes and invoices. 17 of the Glendale listings come to you, 22 carry a rating with the review count beside it, and the order on this page follows the published rules on our How We Rank page.

How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Glendale?

Most mobile mechanics in Glendale price by the job, not the hour. Independent shop labor in Arizona runs about $95 to $135 an hour, and mobile prices usually land in the same range for the same repair. Some add a trip fee and some fold it in. Ask for one total price, trip included, before they drive out. Our repair cost guides show typical parts and labor for each job.

Is $100 an hour fair for mechanic labor in Arizona?

Yes. Typical independent shop labor in Arizona is about $95 to $135 an hour, so $100 is inside the normal range. Dealers often charge more. What matters most is the total. Ask how many hours the job is quoted at and compare that with a second shop.

Who is the best mobile mechanic in Glendale?

By rating and review count together, the strongest mobile mechanics in the Glendale area right now are LugWrench Heroes Mobile Tire Shop (5.0 stars, 570 reviews), Nate's Mobile Brake Repair (5.0 stars, 396 reviews) and Ridey Tidey Automotive Mobile Automotive And Detailing (5.0 stars, 111 reviews). We weigh stars against how many reviews back them, so a perfect score on a few reviews does not win.

What are the downsides of using a mobile mechanic?

Some work needs a shop. Transmission swaps, engine rebuilds, alignments and anything that needs a lift go to a garage. Bad weather can push back a driveway job, and you need a safe, legal place to park where the mechanic can work. Many mobile mechanics also run a shop, or will tell you up front when a job needs one.

How do I shop around for car repairs?

Get a written estimate that lists parts and labor. Call two or three shops with the same estimate and ask each for a total price. Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the work. Read recent reviews, not just the star score. A shop that explains the problem clearly and shows you the old part is a good sign.
