Getting a Car Fixed in Tucson

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 car battery replacement runs about $150 to $390 for a midsize car.

Of the 52 Tucson listings that post their hours, 38 open on Saturday and 23 on Sunday. 28 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.

35 businesses in Tucson have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 28 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 47 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, Tucson has 3 diesel specialists, 1 tire shop, 4 RV and trailer shops and 4 heavy duty and fleet 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.

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.

Tucson sees about 158 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 68 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 11 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 Tucson is 22 minutes each way, and 68% of workers drive there alone.
