    We contacted Bruce when our 2007 Camry would not start. He was able to come to our house in a prompt manner, and quickly identified what was wrong with the car (starter). He replaced the starter, cleaned all battery connections, and had us back on the road quickly. He charged us a reasonable price, and was polite and professional. We would recommend Bruce and we will use him again in the future. Thank you Bruce, for doing a great job!

    Bruce is honest and great!! I had a problem with my AC in my suburban and not only did he fix it, he even got it done quick enough where I wasn't down a vehicle so I could be to work the following day. I will use him again in a heartbeat. He is fantastic!!!

    Bruce came to me last month and saved me a bunch of money with my A/c in my Mercury Grand Marquis. Very professional and clean, does what he says and also sent me a check up reminder after 30 days like he said he would. I'm glad i found him and i'll refer him to my friends.

    Bruce inspected my just purchased 99 van, and found that I didn't need an A/C Compressor as told by the old owner. He then found some details I missed, that were crucial to traveling safely. He also did a brake adjustment, instead of telling me I needed an unnecessary full brake job with new rotors, (which is what most brake shops would do). His honesty and fair prices are rare to find these days. He actually wants his customers to come back, and I definitely will.

    We are very pleased with the work Bruce has done on our truck. He worked around our schedule and got the repairs done in a timely manner. Bruce also would let us know about repairs that could be done in order to head off more costly ones down the road.

    I have and will continue to recommend Bruce as a mechanic to all my friends and family.

    I have used Bruce on two different occasions. He definitely knows cars and and gives you an honest price. Today (Sunday) I called Bruce after my car suddenly wouldn't start and wasn't able to be jump started. We figured it was the starter. The car was in the parking lot of Home Depot. Bruce met me at my car within a few hours, ran a few tests to confirm the problem and then pulled out the starter, we went to Checker to get a replacement and he installed in right there in the parking lot. No extra towing fees, no reciting shop hours, no extra charges on the parts, no up charges for going the extra mile. It was like calling on a good friend to help you and simply compensating them for their time. I hate car problems but they go with the territory - thanks Bruce, I will be back and refer others.

    Bruce came out, showed up when he said he would and diagnosed my problems and got it fixed on the first visit. My rod runs great. Finally, a Technician I can trust!

    Bruce did a great job on my truck a/c. An r-12 to r-134 conversion. Works great. He gave me an overall evaluation of how my 20 year old pickup was doing and suggested to keep an eye on a couple of things. I wouldn't hesitate for a second about having him work on any of my cars. I'll be recommending Bruce to my friends and neighbors, too. Pat.

    I took my Jeep Cherokee for a convertion from r-19 to r34 and Bruce knew exactly what do do and described the work he was going to perform and I scheduled an appointment and was very happy how bruce administered himself, very professionally and did the job in the time he told us and we are very happy and satisfied with our overall experience. I reccomed him on any AC work.

    I am so glad I found Auto5starz ! The repair man (Bruce) has given me excellent service. Bruce has even come to my house to fix my vehical. He has been straight forword and told me at times that some of the items I was told I needed (pryor to going to him) are not needed. Bruce is very honest. He is also very patient with me and explains why things are needing to be serviced, and the mechanics of everything. Rather than paying the outragous prices of the other auto repair places, Bruce has saved me hundreds of dollars. I highly recommened Bruce ( Auto5starz ) and his expertise with american and foreign automobiles. Sincerely...David Calli

Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Please, Do your self a favor, Pay attention to you Vehicles Maintenance Schedule !!!

ie: Timing Belts ! = ( see: Favorite story Below )

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I offer Quality Automotive Service & Repair at Affordable Prices!
Located in Surprise Az, I can offer you Much Lower Rates on repairs without all of the headaches & Hassles you'll get at the SHOP!
I am a Highly Experienced Mechanic that has been on Both sides of the Automotive Service Counter And / In, Under & Around many Vehicles in my 30+ years Exp.
As An Automotive Technician & Shop Manager, I know all about How Shops Mark-up Parts Prices
some times 2.5 to 3 times their cost & Over Priced Labor Charges,

That's Where I Save You Money!

* Part's = @ My COST!!
* Labor = Less than 1/2 the Avg. Shop Price!!
* I AM WILLING TO WORK WITH YOUR BUDGET!
And ALSO accept PAYPAL if Needed !


I will get the job done right the first time.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. Making new Friends & Customers!
Saving the Consumer Money on Vehicle Repairs & Services

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Q. How much will it cost to .......?
A. Let me Take a look at it to make sure that's what you need, Then I'll see just how much I can Save You!

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A.
Twice now I Have Had a Customer Call me that had Hired Someone to fix their car that had quit running. The "mechanic" ? came out & advised them that they Needed a new timing belt & charged them $180. - $230. for replacing the belt.
Once it was installed & they had their money they Told the Vehicle owner, "oh ya, by the way You may have
another problem with the motor, & I can't do it !
Well, It's called an interference motor & if the timing belt lets go while driving Most, if not all of the Valves hit the Pistons and bends the valves! ( A True mechanic-tech knows this)
So Now You have to pay someone, (like me) to take off the new timing belt, Remove the cyl. head, & take it to the machine shop to have it rebuilt with new Valves, reinstall the head & Timing belt in order to get it to run again.

This could run $1,200. & UP ! PLUS THE MONEY YOU PAiD THE FIRST GUY THAT TOOK YOUR MONEY & RAN !

Moral of the story is, Don't go for CHEAPEST, Look for Experience & Reliability, & some one you can trust !

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. Last spring, I was contacted by a Customer I'll call Sam!
Sam had acquired himself the 1950 Bronze Chevy shown in my pictures, with me at the wheel. I was hired to get the brake system back in working order. The repairs consisted of Rebuilding the Frame mounted - under car Master Cyl. , replacing the brake shoes on all four wheels, Seals, & four Wheel Cylinders.
It was a Fun & Challenging experience But, worth every minute to be able to service a fine Specimen of Automotive History!
We toped off the brake work with a full Fluid change & General Service.
This next week of 1/10/11 I will be back over @ Sam's to See what we can do to get the original Radio working
or replacing it with one of three others he has until we get it to work !
