Lowery's Garage currently holds the highest rating in Phoenix at 5.0 stars from 162 reviews. Lowery's Garage, Align Autoglass, After Hours Auto and Truck are the top three by rating among businesses with a real review history behind them.

Yes. 77 of the businesses we list in Phoenix 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.

5 businesses in Phoenix 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.

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.

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.

Yes. 53 of the businesses we list in Phoenix show Sunday hours, including Align Autoglass, After Hours Auto and Truck and Tim’s mobile mechanics LLC. Call first, because Sunday hours are often short and some only take emergencies.

Look at the review count as well as the stars, because five stars from four people tells you very little. 1 of the 189 listings in Phoenix has been claimed by the owner, who confirmed the details. Get the quote in writing before any work starts.

Usually not. 77 of the businesses in Phoenix 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.

Phoenix averages about 159 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.

The most reviewed junkyards and used parts yards near Phoenix are Pull N Save Glendale, Pull N Save North and Pull N Save South. Pull N Save Glendale and Pull N Save North let you pull the part yourself. Call before you go, because what is on the lot changes daily.

Yes. PPI Auto, our sister company, inspects used cars in Phoenix 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.

Ask the shop for any state or city license it holds and get the estimate in writing before work starts. None of the 189 listings in Phoenix 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.

112 of the 189 listings in Phoenix 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.

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. 1 of the 189 in Phoenix have been claimed and confirmed by the owner. 1 passed our qualification review. Nobody can pay to rank higher.

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. 77 of the Phoenix listings come to you, 182 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.

Most mobile mechanics in Phoenix 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.

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.

By rating and review count together, the strongest mobile mechanics in the Phoenix 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 Langston’s Mobile Mechanic LLC (5.0 stars, 160 reviews). We weigh stars against how many reviews back them, so a perfect score on a few reviews does not win.

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.

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.
