I took my 1967 Mustang coupe into Akina for a tune up and complete once over. The staff was extremely professional and communicated the issues with my car very quickly. The quality and quick service was very much appreciated. Akina Motor Sportz is a very reputable shop that I will be going back to if need be. Highly recommended!

I wanted to update my review that I have continued to bring different cars in to them and their still providing fantastic service and at great prices. They have done up grade work on my Mazdaspeed as well as precision bead work on welding. They provide on point recommendations on upgrades for performance and calibrations for more horse power. Been taking my cars to them for a couple months for some work done on the AC and they been AWESOME. Honest as well, they even showed me the old parts that was replaced and turned out my old mechanic robbed me and did not do the work as promised. Akina has even stood behind their service and warrentied anything that was wrong from their service and I have yet to have any issues. I'll be bringing my cars to them now far on. Fast service as well!

The guys at Akina are great. We needed our engine replaced. They gave us a good price ($1000 less than another local repair shop) and the work was done just as they promised. Porche was upfront with every step of the process. It's hard to find a good auto repair place that you trust but I felt like these guys were straight up. Thumbs up.

We have been taking our cars, Subaru and Tiburon to Akina for nearly 10 years. Our experience has been Wonderful! They are honest and reliable. We live in Florence and go to the trouble of taking our cars all the way to Tempe in order to have Akina take care of them. Our first experience with them was when they installed a rebuilt engine in our Tiburon for a very reasonable price--AFTER the dealership had screwed it up! Have never had a problem with the engine.since they began maintaining it. Don't know what happened with the guy who wrote the awful review here, sounds like sour grapes to me. If his car stayed there that long it's most likely because he didn't pay for the work and they had to get a mechanic's lien to recover their cost. I owned an auto repair shop in Houston years ago..."been there, done that." Strongly recommend these guys, Tell them John & Jo sent you.

Honest and quick!!! I never leave reviews but this experience was worth mentionong...We met with Porsche when we needed a second opinion after receiving an inflated quote from the dealership. Porsche took the time to give a full inspection of our vehicle to correctly identify the true problem, and actually saved us almost $1000!! It is hard to find a trust worthy mechanic, if you are not familiar with cars, but Porsche will take to time to earn your business honestly, as opposed to trying to make a quick buck. We will definitely be taking all of our vehicles from now on!!

I have been going to Akina for many years and each time I have had the best experience. Porsche and all the guys at Akina are honest and extremely knowledgeable. They explain everything to me clearly and in a manner that I will understand so that I feel comfortable about what is being done. The prices are fair and service is excellent and efficient. I have recommended Akina to many friends and family members and they have all had the same great experience. If you are looking for a local mechanic that has ties to the valley and provides an excellent and efficient experience, than Akina is the place to go.

I had some aftermarket work done here at Akina and the quality of their customer service has exceeded any auto shop that I have been to before. All of this on top of their incredible job they did working on my car. I was always kept in the loop of what was going on, and everything got done it a quick and timely manner. Thank you guys again!

Very few times have I taken my car to a shop to get exactly the repairs needed to keep it running strong. These guys are awesome and have taken great care of my 240SX and Prelude over the past couple years. Very friendly and caring, and excellent on pricing. They even offer a discount if your car is an import! I recommend this place to everyone for car care. From simple repairs to extraneous labor, they will definitely have you covered.

Porsche runs a great shop. Been using Akina motors for years. Nothing fancy, just honest repair work. Does everything from basic oil change to more advanced engine repair. Has worked on my car (2006 4 runner), my son's car (1998 land cruiser) and my grandson's car (Ford Focus). If looking for a quick cheap fix NOT FOR YOU. Quality work at a reasonable price. Well worth the trip to Tempe. Thanks

I can't recommend this shop enough. Best customer service I've ever experienced. The attention to detail and quality of work done to my car's modifications and maintenance were amazing. I will be recommending Porsche, Lucky, and his team to all who are seeking a quality shop going forward.

I trusted my 2015 Toyota Prius with them, and I am SO HAPPY I did. I guess I went deaf to the sound my car was making when I drove at higher speeds. Took it in when someone rode in my car and noticed. After a quick test drive they nailed the issue down. Wheel bearings needed. They got me a great price to replace all four. Porsche showed me the old bearing from my car after the repair. Yikes, I’m glad they fixed it for me. Incredibly fast service and very communicative!! Trust your car with them. You’ll be glad you did.

Akina Motor Sportz was communicative, professional, and thorough for my head gasket replacement, so I'd be happy to return and happy to recommend to friends and neighbors. I was referred to Akina Motor Sportz by another local mechanic who owns his own shop and does good work for fair prices. Porsche replaced my car's leaking head gasket and kept in contact throughout the process with emails, photos and phone calls. He was patient to explain what parts he was replacing and why, and he gave me an estimate to review before he started the work. Because this was an engine-out service, he also gave me the option to take care of the water pump and some other maintenance that would've been due in about 20k miles. He invited me back in about 1000 miles for a complementary check to make sure everything is still running smoothly.

Enjoyed every moment of being at this shop. Porsche and lucky knew exactly what they were doing and were able to accomplish everything on my 2020 civic si. They swapped out my clutch and flywheel and gave me a great deal. Thank you very much and I will definitely be back for more work.
