Chances are you won't be able to diagnose the problem yourself and to be perfectly honest, the techs at Cary's Auto Service may not even be able to figure out the problem with their eyes alone.That is where computer diagnostics come in. When your car has a problem or if your check engine light is on, computer diagnostics from Cary's Auto Service in Tempe, AZ, will help get to the bottom of the problem.

I got the motor mounts replaced on my car and they were fast, friendly, and the price knocked my socks off. It was literally half the price of the quote I got from another shop. My car runs so smooth. I now have replaced my previous auto shop and am so pleased. Friendly, honest, speedy, reliable. I can't say enough about how relieved and thankful I am.

By far the best auto service in Arizona.

I've been bring my cars here for years and have never been disappointed. The work is high quality. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly honest.

Over the years they've done everything for me from oil changes and fluid replacements to suspension and even engine repairs on several different vehicles. They've always been great to work with: prompt, communicative, and high-quality.

I've never felt I was being pushed any service that wasn't going to be really helpful for keeping my vehicles running well for years. And

Simply OUTSTANDING service! It's not easy to find honest, reasonably priced auto service and these guys are fantastic! I bought an older Isuzu Trooper and it needed a little work and these guys did a great job of letting me know what it needed, and which things were most important to do first. I'm extremely happy with the honesty, and open communication during the process! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!

It is truly nice to have a mechanic I trust and value. These guys are the real deal. Big thanks to Chris for being concise and thorough in diagnosing my corolla's problems, and not just doing work and charging me without consent.

I brought my 2013 Prius which needed a new radiator. Brought the car Tuesday 4.45pm, and got a call the very next day at 1pm to let me know it was ready for pick up.

Great service: Chris took the time to explain the issue, was transparent about cost, and was very responsive.

Best service I've ever had

Cary's Auto Service has done all the work on my cars for 14 years. I've never been happier with the service they provide. Probably the best way to describe there work is that they are thorough, fair, and most of all trustworthy. I wouldn't think of taking my cars to anyone else.

If I could rate a mechanic shop higher, I would. My whole family takes their imports here. Chris and Cary have gotten us out of uncountable pickles. 100% honest, all the time and I learn something every time that I call them. You couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Chris and Cary!

I got myself into an accident on a Saturday night while visiting a friend in Arizona. It was bad enough that my Toyota Tacoma could not be driven home. Lucky for me I was close to Cary's shop and limped by truck there. Needless to say this was extremely lucky for me as I will later discover. I left him a message and the truck and I got myself a rental to return to California for a week of work. 1st thing Monday morning I received a call from the shop. Once talking with Chris and Carey I realized that I had found the right spot. They were extremely knowledgeable with Toyota's and it set my mind

We heard about Cary's Auto Service from a friend, who received a strong referral from another friend. They told us all about Cary's quick turn around, honest approach and quality service. We didn't hesitate to bring our 2009 Toyota Corolla in for an inspection, and we were highly impressed with the affordable repairs that were recommended to keep the vehicle (120K miles) in tip-top shape.

More recently, Cary and his team found that the rear brakes in our 2014 Honda CR-V weren't properly installed by a local dealership. The brake caliper mount bolts were not fully tightened

Cary has your back. He and his staff are professional and honest. He knows how other shops and dealer service departments try to take advantage of people and will help you to decipher what your car actually does need vs. what is a scam. This is a business of high integrity. Never been disappointed.

I wanted to leave this feedback for anyone who's looking for a kindhearted reliable and most importantly HONEST mechanic...Yes one does exist can you believe it???!! They have been taking care of my cars & my daughters car. They really go above and beyond what a normal mechanic would do and work with you. I'm so glad that I found this company they have been a lifesaver. They do great work and never charge you for things you don't need which is typical of a lot of automotive places. I referred everyone I know to this placeAnd people I don't know just because they are honest

Cary’s is the auto service we trust to take care of our vehicles. Always a helpful resource and willing to give, Cary’s integrity is always on display. Recently, we had an issue with a door lock. Not only did he fix the door lock but hin also cleaned and lubricated the other one as a preventative measure. His front office staff is amazing as well!

Friendly and honest service! We will go out of our way just to take our car here because we know we will get good service. Cary takes the time to explain what is wrong and doesn't take advantage of girls who are on their own. Most times it feels like car places take advantage because they think you don't know anything. He will explain what he needs to do before he does it and let's you know the price. No hidden fees or surprises!

Amazing guy that is honest, helpful, and he literally showed me some of the repairs I could do myself to save money. The only mechanic I have ever fully trusted to not f me big-time on repairs.

Update: I drive 8 hours round trip to have my car fixed here. Enough said.
