As it was my first time with car issues in Tucson, I was a little nervous about finding a reliable shop. I found Breathe Easy through the Tucson LGBT Chamber of Commerce and had a great experience. Breathe Easy was able to quickly take my car in, find out what was wrong with it and had it fixed all within 24 hours. I appreciated the clear and quick communication, the text follow ups and the friendly customer service. When I was unable to pick up my car on a Friday they had no problem keeping it until Monday. Will be back for future car help and will be recommending to friends as well!

I cannot recommend breathe easy enough. They are only going to recommend devices that you actually need and when they do recommend services, they’re reasonably priced. Just left there after they were trying to diagnose an issue on my car and they wouldn’t let me pay anything for it. I almost insisted but I am choosing to write this review instead. Your car and money is safe here.

My engine blew up outside of Tucson on a weekend and I had my car towed here. They were closed but had a Dropbox system was very easy to use. I'm from a different state and they worked very well with my insurance company, communicated with me frequently via text, and replaced the engine, radiator, and ac condenser in just 2 weeks! Best experience I have ever had with a shop

Good prices and excellent turn around. The waiting room has comfy recliners that rock so I didn't mind waiting. They did some maintenance type things while I waited. We've been to them several times and have always been pleased.

I needed my daughter's car drive shaft replaced before our cross country trip to NY and Breathe Easy made it so easy for us to get this done including getting our front brakes replaced too at about 1/3 of the price given to us by another mechanic - so professional!!

Highly recommend Brian and Breathe Easy Automotive. Conveniently located in Central Tucson, they offer honest and good service. I have lived in Tucson for 27 years and didn't have a good mechanic I could trust. Recently I was fortunate enough to find this local automotive shop and very happy with the results.

A wonderful experience! I'm not usually fond of visiting mechanics, but from scheduling the appointment to consistent communication throughout the process until the finished product, I am thoroughly impressed with Breathe Easy. Their customer service is exceptional, providing honest diagnostics. Moreover, it's reassuring to know that it's a woman-owned business and veteran-friendly. I highly recommend Breathe Easy to anyone in Tucson seeking automotive services. (Brian was awesome as well!)

Breathe Easy Automotive is fantastic! I went in today to buy and swap out my battery and the entire team was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and communicative. Additionally, the team seemed liked they worked synergistically together. A bonus was they had really good (small lot?) coffee in their client lounge.

I put my Camaro in storage in April 2022 before deploying to Korea. Before my deployment my check engine light illuminated. I took my car to a mechanic and they said it was due to a faulty O2 sensor, while servicing my vehicle the shop contacted me and said that my spark plugs and wires needed to be replaced as well. I was charged about $1,800 in total for a job that should have cost half that amount at most. Shortly after returning the check engine light illuminated again. I took it to another mechanic and was told that my spark plugs and fuel injectors needed to be replaced even though I had just had my spark plugs and wires serviced 10 months prior without having driven it since. Because my car was not actively misfiring and I financed my car brand new I knew it was nothing too serious. So I waited to get multiple opinions. Long story short, due to bad past experiences of people taking advantage of my financial situation I have had my check engine light on for well over a year. I used a fuel stabilizer to keep the fuel from going bad while in storage, so I figured it was not the fuel injectors even though that is what I have been told by multiple shops in the Tucson area. When I contacted Breathe Easy Automotive for services. I informed their staff of the situation and they told me to bring my car in and they would run a diagnostic to be sure. In the end the problem was a burned out catalytic converter and not my fuel injectors or spark plugs which would have needed a full tune-up to repair costing about $2,200-$2,400. I was able to get the catalytic converter replaced for about $400 which resolved the problem. Breathe Easy Automotive referred me to the shop that serviced my vehicle and found me the best price. In the end I only paid Breathe Easy Automotive $100 for the diagnostic and nothing else. I highly recommend this shop and vouch for their customer service and transparency. Be wary of other shops looking to get as much money out of you as they can.

Very professional. We felt valued as customers - just like everyone else in the lobby. They did a good job. We were notified every step of the way. This is our new place

Went to get my AC fixed August 2024. Came to pick up my car, apparently only needed an AC servicing. I drive away, AC IS STILL blowing hot air. I bring it back the next day and they found that I needed a new air compressor and condenser. Luckily they were able to install it in time before a 3 day weekend. I wasnt happy that I had to come back cuz the issue wasn't fixed. I came back July 2025 because my car was leaking coolant and overheating. They found I needed a new water pump. They also found I needed a new motor mount after they removed one in order to get to my water pump (who's to say they didn't break it, idk for sure). I agreed to have it replaced, of course because it's dangerous and bad for my engine to not be mounted. I came back to pick up my car, same day, which I was very happy about. Drove my car home and it was making a weird noise now, that it wasn't making before I took it in this time. Sure enough, I had to drive back AGAIN to have them find the problem. It was the second time having to bring my car back on separate occasions, a year apart, because they failed to fix the issue initially that my car was having. I find out they put the old motor mount BACK ON because the mechanic working on my vehicle wasn't sure if I agreed to have them replace it. They also thought that was the source of the noise which it proved to be something else. They stopped updating me after that, to what was wrong with my car, while I sat in their lobby for another 2 and a half hours. I had to pay for an Uber back and forth multiple times because they failed to fix my car correctly. They didn't offer me a discount or anything for the trouble. They didn't offer to reimburse my Uber, or give me a free oil change (which they were also trying to charge me for initially but I get free oil changes at the dealership so I turned it down). Needless to say, they seemed to have fixed the problem after having to come back, but the amount of trouble they put me through and their inability to pay attention to details cost me time and money and they didn't offer a free oil change, to put air in my tires, or anything for the trouble, not even to clean my windshield or something you know? I won't be going back or recommending them to my friends and family. I wasn't even going to post a review. The only reason I am is to save people the time & trouble of having to deal with what I've dealt with ON 2 SEPERTATE OCCASIONS, A YEAR APART! Having to go back and tell them that they didn't fix the issue. Neither time did they offer a discount or anything for the trouble. If you have extra time on your hands and don't mind multiple trips back to the mechanic until they finally fix the issue then you won't mind this place. I didn't find myself breathing easy, I felt the opposite. They are nice people with reasonable pricing but I'd rather pay more for it to be done correctly the first time.

I am new to Tucson. This was my first time using this garage. They were friendly and honest in the work recommended and done (I know a little about cars). The car dealer wanted to do work that really wasn't necessary and did not mention maintenance work that was due to be done. And Breathe Easy,'s prices are fair. I will be a repeat customer they are now my garage of choice.

Appreciate what they do in order to get drunk drivers off the road and I think that's a stellar thing, but I also think that they pass the buck a lot when it comes to what to do. They don't have answers to questions that we had and they need to be a little more educated on dealing with people who are getting sober. We had a breathalyzer installed in our vehicle. I have no knowledge of what their mechanical expertise is beyond that. Customer service is very important.

Updating my review from 3 stars to 1. I found a new mechanic and he essentially said everything Breathe Easy did to my car was botched. I’m paying all over again to have him fix it. I've been here twice because it's lgbtq owned and I normally interact with the women and it's great, but the way that sassy man was talking to me today has me looking for a new mechanic unfortunately.

Excellent service and best pricing in town! Ms. Crystal and Ms. Mary were very helpful in getting my vehicle in their shop within the same week. Ms. Mary came highly recommended by someone at the Auto Hobby Shop on base. I concur that they are knowledgeable and skilled in fixing cars. The waiting area was clean and welcoming with comfortable seating. Military friendly business and women owned! Has my highest personal recommendation!
