Services
We conduct the full suite of maintenance and repair procedures for your vehicle. Our ASE Certified Technicians are well trained in all of the following repair and maintenance procedures. Feel free to give us a call or email us if you have any questions. We are able to service a wide variety of vehicles from many manufacturers.
Especially for drivers of imported vehicles, it is important to make sure that your engine repairs are conducted by qualified technicians. This will ensure that your car gets the care it needs to function properly. The difficult thing is that here in Phoenix AZ, engine repair for quality import vehicles is few and far between.
Negligence with brake services is not only a safety risk, but is also the leading cause of expensive brake service. As with almost every aspect of car care; brake maintenance is best conducted by ensuring that no components are allowed to break down. The main reason for this is the fact that the costs of maintenance are much lower than the costs of brake repairs or replacements.
Anyone who has experienced the misfortune of needing car A/C repair in Tempe AZ knows the importance of quality Air Conditioning repair. Tempe residents often view their vehicles like a sanctuary during the summer, because during the hottest months of the year, most people are able to keep their vehicles cooler than their homes.
A huge portion of drivers in have one question in common; where can I get quality import car service? Tempe is chalk full of run-of-the-mill mechanics who make lofty promises that they can handle any vehicle you drive. We specialize in import auto repair and have taken steps to ensure that our import service is second to none.

Professional & knowledgeable. Will only recommend essential service or repair while pointing out things to be aware of for future work. Our 2014 Q5 that is no longer in warranty was reliably repaired on lower control arms issues and the vehicle has been solid since then. We are very thankful that we have found Arizona Import Specialists for us to keep our Q5 that is approaching 100k miles, knowing that future works will be cost reasonable & performed with honest integrity. Special thanks to Joe for keeping us promptly posted during the repair process and the technician that did the quality

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
I took my car in because the battery light was on. They called me and confirmed the alternator went bad. I got my car back the same day and it was clean and running great. They even fix my door panel which was loose. Will definitely be taking my 05 Civic back and would recommend to a friend and family.

Going here was a great idea! I've been helping my boss maintain his 1995 80 series Land Cruiser and Mike is as experienced as is gets for dealing with a modified 4x4. All of the seals were leaking and it was having a funky electrical issue and clicking sounds. I took the car to Mike and he diagnosed all issues, and even pointed out a few potential issues that were cheap fixes.
I had no deadline for the car to be finished but Mike and his team took care of everything quickly and did a great job.
Their customer service is great, I am not at all located in the PHX area (more like the CA Bay

I hate when one bad apple ruins an overall decent experience. Everyone was pretty great there, except for Mike; wish I would have got the Mike other ppl referenced but this Mike was arrogant, long-winded, and unhelpful. Called me a liar when I brought up simple, factual math and overall seemed "above the customer". Not recommended due to this blight to their establishment

We had a family member's car that wouldn't start. It was at her place in Tempe so I looked for the closest auto repair shop that specialized in imports and found Arizona Import Specialists when I searched online.
After reading the great Yelp reviews I called and Mike told me it's not a problem to get the issue diagnosed. My catch was, I'd have to get roadside assistance from our insurance to tow the car to the shop. Mike patiently waited for the tow truck driver to show up with the car (after the driver got lost on the way to pick up the car) and they quickly found that the

My family has taken our cars to Arizona Import Specialists for as long as I can remember. When work is needed, we always call Joel and his crew. The reason is very simple: we have always received quality work at reasonable prices from a team that we trust explicitly. Whereas some repair shops guess at diagnosing a problem, Joel and his team make an exact diagnosis and then fix the actual problem. No guess work here only honest hard work! I couldn't be happier with the service my family has received over several years!

These guys are awesome!! Someone recommended them and now I've been coming to their shop for the last 4 years - they never disappoint. My vehicle is older and definitely needs maintenance so with that in mind along with my limited discretionary income they have been incredibly insightful on which maintenance issues needs to be fixed immediately. I recently had a new steering wheel pump put in and noticed something wasn't right after a month or two. Every time I would turn the wheel I would hear a loud roaring noise so when I brought it back in for an oil change they checked and found

Helpful and Knowledgeable staff! Took my Mini Cooper in to have it looked at and the mechanics were so friendly and quick- in and out within the work day. They took the time to explain things thoroughly and offer suggestions on how to prevent issues arising again. Definitely will continue to bring my Mini here. Very trustworthy and polite. Overall a sound team of mechanics!

Cannot stress enough how positive my experience was at AIS. From the first phone call to the moment I picked up my car after repairs, each interaction was professional, genuine, and indicative of the fact that AIS cares about each and every one of their customers and makes a great effort to ensure that the job is done right. My 2007 Audi S4 DTM went in for repairs and was out faster than I thought possible, and was even sparkling clean with a wash at pickup! Thanks to Joe, Joel, and Mike for all the hard work and making me feel like a valued customer. I will not be taking my S4 anywhere else!
