Medinas Automotive 1910 East McDowell Road, Phoenix, AZ 85006

"10 months (a whole pandemic) and over $9k later, I finally have my car back. With a check engine light on. And it shakes. This used to be the only place for me to go for over ten years. Not sure what could have happened between then and now, but I'll definitely not be going back."

"They did an awesome job. Recently purchased the vehicle from a dealer they work with. It had a couple issues after purchase. They took care of getting the car back up and running. My biggest concern is not how long it takes, but the quality of the job and being kept in the loop. They called me almost everyday to give me an update on the job, even if it was just to tell me they were still working on it. I told them that they are my go to shop for my repairs now, big or small."

"This place is a rip off. I agree if you value your car, time and money DO NOT COME HERE! WE ALL CAN NOT BE LYING! Read the reviews...This business is a rip off. My daughter took her car here for a head gasket. They sold her new pistons, rings and rod bearings. As well as a reconditioned head a new radiator new plugs and wires. It never ran right sheet took it back twice and Mr. Medina said it was due to the new parts. Well it died on her today and she took it back to him he said that someone loosen the rocker arm and changed the firing order and charged us $60.00 My daughter just maid it in her driveway and it died so I called Mr.Medina and he had the audacity to tell me if the car had gas in it that cars need gas to run. He should know he told me he drove it to Bell Rd and back. I had to hang up..... I am up dating this review it is October 16th 2017 my daughter's car quit on her about a month ago I got it towed to my house and removed the spark plugs to find that they were never changed and that the spark plug in cylinder number 2 had exploded and the fragments seized her motor I can clearly tell that the spark plugs were never changed nor the wires which we were clearly charged for I strongly recommend that no one goes to Medina's Automotive for any work if they value their vehicle their time and their money we are currently going to pursue legal action against Mr Medina."

"SCAMS, LIARS, FRAUD. On March 14th, 2017 I brought my car (2003 ford expedition white) to this establishment for an evaluation. As to what was going on, the car had really bad idle and would turn off. I had a trip coming up to Mexico and needed my car fixed ASAP. The owner and other mechanic did the evaluation and said to me that my coils, intake manifold, spark plugs, wiring to spark plugs and Co2 sensor and a few other items all needed to be replaced and that they would charge me $1050 to have all replaced and have the car running like new. I DIDN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY for the repairs. The owner said "well how much were you thinking of spending on it" to that I replied " not $1050 more like $200 I thought it wasn't gonna be that big of a deal". He just shrugged his shoulders and left. So I TOOK HIS WORD FOR IT (him being a reputable mechanic and business owner)left Medina's shop went home parked my car told my family the trip to Mexico was cancelled. Also called my boss told him I would be out the next day because of car issues. May 22, 2017 someone recommended a mobile mechanic. He came to the house, evaluated my car and within 7 minutes he called me and said "hey your car is fixed" not knowing what to think I rushed home from work saw my car running smoothly as it was before. The new mechanic said the problem was two vacuum hoses were loose so he replaced them and charged me $50. I was skeptical of this new mechanic so I drove the car for a few days and all seemed fine. I decided to do the ultimate test and did a road trip for Memorial Day. My car drove better than expected with no problems whatsoever. From a diagnostic of the worst, charging $1050, to it actually being a $10 vacuum hose, I missed my cousins wedding and nearly lost my job due to car problems. DO NOT BRING YOUR CARS/BUSINESS HERE. Also the receptionists are the rudest people I have ever met in my life. I hope my review will stop at least one person from doing business here."

"Fantastic work and treated me like family. Good fair pricing, easy to understand what work was needed and what was going to be done. My car was up and being worked on super fast. I love this place! Front desk to the shop is 5/5 will do business again! 1995 Mustang Timing/Rotors/AC A+++"
