Arizona Auto Repair

This place has definitely won my loyalty. I've always been paranoid about getting ripped off at an auto shop - I'm pretty cynical in that I assume a mechanic/contractor/car salesman will rip me off unless they prove otherwise. So it's with great relief that I found 180 Degrees on Yelp. It's not a big deal to get good service if you have a run-of-the-mill, straightforward service issue. What makes a place stand out is when you have an anomalous malfunction that requires special handling. I had just such a case with an alternator last year that required me to come in several times due to a defectively designed part that Hyundai officially claimed "shouldn't be a probem", even though numerous others with that year/model had the same issue. Despite hours of research on online auto forums, I was not able to find any real solutions. I was really pleased with how 180 Degrees handled it. Bogi personally oversaw it, spending many hours of labor which required multiple sessions to troubleshoot the issue (as I said, the Hyundai dealership didn't have an answer). Each time, I got rides, or a loaner, and frequent updates. Bogi even drove my car for a day to detect when & how my car acted up. She came in on a Saturday morning to get my car back to me. I felt like a valued client, not just a "job". I recently took her car class for women (free!), and got a lot out of it. Bogi is passionate about what she does, which translates to integrity, providing superior service and going above and beyond. I feel relief in knowing I can trust that my car is in good hands.

"Crank up the air conditioning!" Is what my uncle yelled at me one afternoon. Apparently, when you live in Phoenix, the second you get into your vehicle in the summer you need to turn your AC on full blast in order for the vehicle to cool off ASAP.Ok, Ok, I cranked the AC and we were on our way to go to dinner. My AC is not getting cool. My uncle starts screaming,"Im dead! This is hell! I'm dead and we are driving through Phoenix in the afternoon with broken Air Conditioning! I know what hell is now!" I didn't know what to do?! It was working the day before and suddenly it wasn't. I naturally turned to my favorite Phoenix Yelper, Thomas S. He reviewed this place and luckily its right around the corner from my uncles house too.I called them and told them what was going on and they couldn't take my truck until the following day. That was fine because we had my uncles truck to drive, which has great AC.Dropped it off in the morning and by the late afternoon it was all ready to go. We had a long drive ahead of us to Show Low. They were honest and said that I would probably need it rechecked when I got back to California but the quick fix they did should hold me over during my trip.It took my AC about a whole day of driving to finally work properly. The cool air was spotty at times during the initial road trip. It was working full blast again the rest of my days in the Arizona heat.Customer service was knowledgeable and my only complaint was the delay in service. I didn't need it ASAP so I really didn't mind but if I was in a pinch I probably would have gone else where the day I initially called.Other than that Id trust my vehicles here.

My car died on me. I read about all the good reviews and was impressed. They were the first place I called. I called other places but they quoted me the best so I went with them, and I'm glad that I did. my repair actually came out cheaper that the original quote and I have been driving happily since then. ps. They were super nice! I've recommended several people, and they have all had great services too.

Bogi, the boss, Lisa and Whitney are my heros! The service is great, the prices fair, and the turn around time amazing. The best part is, I TRUST Bogi and her mechanics.

I stopped by this place because a friend had recommended them, so I thought I would try them out. I knew I needed brakes and possibly rotors, and I tend to wait to the possibly last second to get them done (which is costly and dumb). They were very friendly and fit me in with an appointment for the following day. They had replaced my brakes and rotors within 3 hours of bringing in my car for $430, which is about an average price. They did try to sell me on a tire rotation and a oil change, I declined. But at least they didn't try to sell me on an air filter, I'm so annoyed when places try to do that, hell I can replace that myself. I would go to this place again, they're easy to work with and they seem pretty honest.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Bogi, Lisa, Angel and Louie are amazing! I know she has a couple new additions to the crew as well, just don't know them as well. They are always honest. I NEVER am concerned I am being ripped off or overcharged because they lay out a clear plan of attack for whatever needs to be done. 180 has done all of the maintenance on my car when the time came to start replacing belts, brakes, pumps, hoses, etc. and has always done stellar work!I took Bogi's car class and learned so much. I have AAA and a cell phone but I am more aware and I just feel more independent. Now, I know I can change a flat tire on my own and have the basic knowledge to take care of my car. I am moving in November and am going to miss them. Who misses their mechanic? Lula (the car) and I will!

Unreal! I've never found a truly trustworthy mechanic in my life, but I have now. I brought my car in for a tune-up and Bogi (the owner) said "well everyone has a different idea of what a tune-up is, we will run some tests and let you know what we find." A couple of hours later Bogi calls me back and goes down a laundry list of items and tells me stuff like "well you could do [this and theat] but they aren't necessary as they look good at this point". CLEARLY she could have up sold me on any number of things, but she absolutely did not. I was/am absolutely STUNNED!When I picked up my car there were those paper mats on my floor (something that my deal doesn't even do anymore) AND a metal water bottle with a $25 off on your next visit coupon attached. Talk about exceeding expectations!Never mind the awesomeness of supporting a woman owned business, you also can trust her/them. "Ummm ... WINNING!"

While having my car shipped from VA to (Phoenix) AZ I got a call notifying me that a regulator gave out, leaving my front passenger window down. So, I performed an online search and luckily I found Bogi! Of all the mechanics I talked with she was the only one that was concerned with securing my vehicle in her yard as it was scheduled to arrive in AZ on a holiday weekend. Not only did she give me her mobile # so that I could call her if the car arrived after her regular shop hours, she fixed the window on her day off! I will definitely take my car to Bogi again.

Boyfriend took his recently purchased used Mercedes here for some work. When we returned to pay, they admitted they had made a huge mistake with their quote. They had under quoted by$ 500!! They forgot to add labor and 1 part. HOWEVER, they stayed true to their quote. But, my generous boyfriend paid in full. He said he knew they would be fair to him in the future....let's hope so! Great work ladies! Car runs great.

Took the wife's car in for new motor mounts and coolant hoses. The work took almost all day, but their location to the light rail made the day fly by. I was extremely happy with the quality of work completed. Price was a little high on the labor side, but the job was difficult so I can kinda look past that. The only negative I have was that the goal in the beginning was to add as much work "needed" on my car as they could. I know you just have to say no thank you, but it gets annoying having to keep the focus on what you came in for. That being said I would definitely go back to 180 for my future car repair needs.
