The Highest Rated Auto Repair in Scottsdale

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

  2. Arizona Bimmer Motor Werks★ 5.0545 reviews · Repair Shop
  3. Elwood Body Works★ 5.0174 reviews · Repair Shop
  4. Lucid Auto Glass & RV★ 5.0119 reviews · RV/Trailer
  5. JUAN STOP AUTO BODY llc★ 5.080 reviews · Body Shop

The best reviewed business in Scottsdale right now is Babbitt Motor Werks, at 5.0 stars across 854 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 73 businesses listed in Scottsdale, there are 11 that will come to you, 45 with a workshop you drive to, 9 body and collision shops and 4 tire shops. 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 Scottsdale

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 valve cover gasket replacement runs about $150 to $535 and a starter replacement runs about $245 to $740 for a midsize car.

Of the 73 Scottsdale listings that post their hours, 33 open on Saturday and 17 on Sunday. 41 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.

65 businesses in Scottsdale have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 57 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 156 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, Scottsdale has 1 diesel specialist, 9 body and collision shops, 4 tire shops and 1 RV and trailer shop. 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.

Scottsdale sees about 132 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 45 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 12 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 Scottsdale is 22 minutes each way, and 61% of workers drive there alone.

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.

Are any mechanics in Scottsdale open on Sunday?

Yes. 17 of the businesses we list in Scottsdale show Sunday hours, including Lucid Auto Glass & RV, JUAN STOP AUTO BODY llc and K&R mobile repair LLC. Call first, because Sunday hours are often short and some only take emergencies.

How do I know a shop in Scottsdale 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 73 listings in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale?

Usually not. 11 of the businesses in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale affect my car?

Scottsdale averages about 132 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.

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

Ask the shop for any state or city license it holds and get the estimate in writing before work starts. None of the 73 listings in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale listings have photos and others do not?

67 of the 73 listings in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale?

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 Scottsdale?

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. 11 of the Scottsdale listings come to you, 73 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 Scottsdale?

Most mobile mechanics in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale?

By rating and review count together, the strongest mobile mechanics in the Scottsdale area right now are Nate's Mobile Brake Repair (5.0 stars, 396 reviews), Affordable Mobile Mechanic (4.9 stars, 228 reviews) and Accurate Mobile Mechanic (4.9 stars, 170 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.
