Ethical, efficient, honest, transparent, consistent and authentic automotive repair.

Services Offered, or, not offered ;)

Inspect and Recommend

Our most popular service; ask anyone! We take a look at the entire vehicle to establish a baseline and help you make the best decision for yourself and your family. We inspect at every oil change, for check engine lights, whether you're a buyer or seller, for vehicles that have been sitting, and even for pre-roadtrip checks.

Oil Changes

Inspect and Recommend

Dinosaur or Synthetic! -depending on your vehicle's age and/or life stage. Our oil change includes our signature Inspect and Recommend, and tire rotation, if needed. Text or call to schedule a waiting appointment at 8:30 AM, 10 AM, 2 PM, or 3:30 PM.

Maintenance

Most manufacturers recommend a major service every 30k miles. Our Major Service includes, if applicable, a full vehicle inspection, engine oil and filter change, transmission oil and filter replacement, engine and cabin air filters, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and spark plugs.

Air Conditioning

Maintenance

If you notice anything unusual with your vehicle, such as clanks, creaks, whirrs, engine noise, suspension problems, or even those pesky electrical gremlins - we can help!

Brakes

Front, rear, and sometimes both. Did you know that only 25% of your braking is in the rear? This means that your rear brakes wear down 75% slower than the front, which is quite fascinating!

About Us

Josh

Tanner

Josh

The man behind it all! Josh has been in the east valley automotive industry since 1997 and was professionally trained at Universal Technical Institute in 2002. If Josh isn't handling your repair specifically, you can guarantee he's there to support the technician who is tackling your needs.

Josh’s passion began with Japanese cars, and he spent upwards of 15 years perfecting his craft. Recently, his interests have expanded to include German manufacturers, and he is currently in the process of mastering another set of skills.

Josh drives a 2017 Audi S3 - stage two! The yellow one; fastest in the shop for sure. The Civic dragster is coming along nicely; check for track updates soon!

Pixi

Tanner

Josh

Pixi, the resident shop rat, can often be found in the business chair, following Josh around, or teaching and practicing yoga in the community. With her background in social services, she’s equipped to help you manage any crisis that arises with your vehicle, making her a valuable resource for the team.

Fun fact! Pixi attended the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute at 19 and has spent 5 years working in the industry.

Currently, Pixi drives a stage two 2016 Audi SQ5 and has also claimed the 71 Honda N600, which she plans to transform into a JDM rat rod.

Tanner

Tanner is the most wholesome member of the team, and has been around for two years now! Tanner will be working on your German cars, except the Mercedes, lol, but he is well versed in all makes and models. We have watched his technical skills grow over the years and are grateful to have him in the shop, no sarcasm.

Tanner also runs his own automotive detailing business, so feel free to ask him how to connect. Tanner daily drives an BMW E46, but his weekend ride is an LS swapped E36!

Will he ever get back to drifting?!

Billy

Honorable Mentions

Tanner

Billy was a natural addition to the team; he slid his toolbox into a quiet corner, making it feel like he has always been here. Billy will will not be working on your German cars, lol, but he is our dedicated Honda tech!

Billy drives a 2012 F150, which helps him pull the trailer for his AWD 9.6 second 1997 EK Civic named Karen. Meet us at the drag strip and look for the Open Shop Auto and ASM Race Glass stickers!

Ashleigh

Honorable Mentions

Ashleigh! Our marketing coordinator! She played a key role in running one of the community yoga programs Pixi taught for, and she was eager to help the shop get organized for public consumption, lol. Ashleigh assists with all the tasks we can't prioritize over the vehicle workload, including social media, merchandise, events, and office support.

Ashleigh daily drives a stock 2014 Ford Fiesta, affectionately named "Yasss Kween Machine" :)

Honorable Mentions

Kelly works the books and Alex specializes in tax matters. And last but not least Ellen serves as our trusted advisor.

Tool Recommendations

Yellow tool chest filled with various hand tools against red and gray wall.

Engine Code Reader

At our shop, we utilize a professional-level Autel scan tool for diagnosis and repairs. However, for at-home use, we recommend the cost-effective Autel Mini. With this scanner, you can easily read a check engine light and send us the code right away for assistance in determining your next steps! Additionally, you can erase codes if needed, ensuring that you won't disrupt anything with your vehicle. Safety first when it comes to your car repair needs!

Jump Starter

Every introvert's dream during an emergency is that you don’t have to ask anyone for help! We always recommend having a jump starter in your vehicle. Make it a habit to charge it every three months or so. This NOCO Boost Plus is powerful enough to start a 6.0L gasoline engine and some small diesels. You can check the NOCO store on Amazon to find the one that best fits your needs! We use this big jumper daily in our shop.
