Desert Tech Import Auto

"David was happy to work on my 2001 VW Golf TDI. He went out of his way to help source an upgrade part for the car. My new SMF clutch has been working fine. He is super knowledgeable and was very happy to educate me and discuss the ins and outs of the job. Running a shop is a busy job, but he clearly enjoyed educating me about my machine. Before trying Desert Tech, I had been using a certain shop that will remain nameless. That shop does good work, but last time I took the car in they said it was "too old" ... Really? I mean, this golf only has 139,000 miles on it. What am I supposed to do? Throw it away?! (A stick shift ALH TDI Golf is special, at least for some of us). I'm glad I decided to try Desert Tech. I'll be talking to them about my next timing belt and other work soon."

"Trustworthy mechanic. Does great work. Good communication! I’ve been taking my 2016 model X3 to Desert Tech for about a year, after the mileage went beyond factory/dealer warranty. Dave and his team do consistently great work to diagnose and fix issues at reasonable cost. Dave took the time to show what’s happening with the vehicle, and presented a phased plan to address the highest priority items first, to get the best results for the money. They completed the work on time, or even earlier than quoted. Cost matched the estimate. Work was quality. Highly recommend Desert Tech."

"While passing through Tucson on the way to California, the engine misfired and a warning light appeared on my MINI. I called Desert Tech at 11:00 and they had my car fixed by 2:00. While I watched, Dave diagnosed the problem by listening to the exhaust and verified the diagnosis using the computer. He answered all of my questions and gave me concise and intelligible explanations. After replacing parts for the ignition system he sent me on my way. $500 was a fair price for the parts, labor and convenience, not to mention courtesy. The ship earned the five stars."

"I brought my 2015 X5 diesel in for routine service. I drive on dirt roads daily and the rear hatch had developed a rattle and it didn’t seal tight so a lot of dust was getting into the car. The shop I took it to previously did not resolve the problem. David and his crew fixed the problem and completed the maintenance at a fair price. In the 7 years I have owned this vehicle I have taken it to the dealer and two independent shops. David is the best."

"Honest, fair, and knowledgeable. I went in for a check engine light on my X3, and David straight up told me the car had a lot of codes and he didn't know which one was causing what. His experience told him it might be the throttle, but he was honest on how it might not fix the problem. He showed me the prices online and explained how BMW makes their money by selling a $5 plastic piece for $400. He explains everything in layman's terms. I'm just happy I've found an honest shop that specializes in BMWs. And so far my car has been driving fine and no warning lights! Win-win!"
