Had some transmissions issues with my transmission overheating which Ricky first recommended a transmission cooler. After putting the car up on the lift Ricky had figured out my last mechanic overfilled my transmission fluid when he changed it and it was causing it to overheat. Ricky was completely honest and told me before I spend more money on a cooler to see if the right amount of coolant would do the trick and stop it from overheating and that he would do just that. It’s been about two weeks and I haven’t seen my transmission overheat once! Saving me money and figuring the issue out the first time and correcting it The right way! Thanks Ricky!! He is now my new mechanic. He is now 3/3! (pictures below of what my overfill transmission look like and spilling onto my exhaust system causing it to leak and smoke after being on the freeway)

I came to Menard Auto Repair after keeping my car for 3 hours at Discount Tire for a patch repair due a nail in my tire. Dan fixed the issue within 15 minutes, he drove the car to make sure it was fine and the flat tire sensor was off. This man is a rock star. Also very friendly and welcoming place. Definitely I will bring my car here for any other occasion and. I recommend 100% their services.

Menard Auto Repair is one of those rare places that actually cares about you and your vehicle. I've never felt rushed or brushed off here—just honest communication and great service every time. When I had a few repairs pop up, I called close to closing time and they still told me to bring it in. They worked on it first thing the next morning, no problem. The shop is clean, the staff is kind, and they’re incredibly thorough with their inspections. It’s hard to find a mechanic that feels like they’re in your corner, but Menard’s is exactly that. You can really tell they’ve built their business on trust and quality service. I’ll always recommend them to anyone looking for reliable auto care.

This auto shop truly cares about his customers He goes above and beyond and make sure you are ready for what’s coming next on the road Not cutting any quarters making sure the job gets done correctly. They are the place to go for any repairs or upgrades on your vehicles. He made sure our shocks were good and got us ready to tow our travel trailer and start our adventures. Blessed to have him work on our vehicle. Customers for life!

Dan reached out when he read about my struggle with a P0300, it was very difficult cause of my experience and didn’t have the proper tools to diagnose it myself. Told me to bring it in and would tell me what was wrong. 10 minutes with the scanner and he told me I should replace the ignition coil cylinder 5 and 6, that they were the ones misfiring and everything else looked good. Also explained why he didn’t think anything else was bad and cleared the bad advice or myths I was leading myself on. Within the hour I was at AutoZone changing them out in their parking lot and let me tell you, Dan was right on the money. He saved me hundreds of dollars because everyone else was recommending 02 Sensors, then the MAF, and the camshaft position sensor. I’m never going to another mechanic again. Worth the drive if you don’t live in Mesa. He has a business but he’s not trying to gouge you for money and will 100% take care you. If I can’t figure something out or if I feel like a job will be too big I’m coming back here.

I’ve now had multiple great experiences with Menard Auto Repair, and I can confidently say they’re one of the most honest and reliable shops I’ve ever worked with. Every time I bring my Subaru in, they explain things clearly, never try to upsell me on unnecessary repairs, and always treat me with respect. This last visit, they squeezed me in late in the day and had everything taken care of by the next morning. Dan at the front is always friendly and straightforward, and the whole team clearly takes pride in their work. The shop is efficient, transparent, and treats you like a person—not just a job ticket. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic in Mesa, this is the place.

We have known Dan and Oscar for many years and whether it’s my wife’s car or my truck… When anything needs a good mechanic, this is where we come! We’ve never had a problem getting in for a repair and we are always very pleased with the work they do. If you haven’t met them yet, stop and say hi and I’m sure you’ll find out just as soon as we did that it’s worth keeping them on speed dial when you need a good mechanic.

Our experience with Menard Auto has been nothing but AMAZING! Dan and Danielle are incredible people. The shop has great employees and they all have treated me very well. I am very happy with my engine swap and maintenance work. They have always been on time or early. We will continue to use them for all our vehicles repair needs.

Back at Menard Auto Repair, and once again they’ve completely earned my trust and appreciation! I had more work that needed to be done on my 2015 Subaru Forester, and Dan was incredibly helpful—just like he was last time. I called the shop about an hour before closing, and they told me to try to get the car in before the end of the day so they could prioritize it first thing in the morning. That kind of flexibility and customer care is hard to find. They ended up replacing my rear axle shaft, rear brake rotors, brake pads, and spark plugs. As always, they were thorough, transparent, and super friendly every step of the way. Dan and the team really go above and beyond to make sure you understand what’s being done and that everything is handled with care. Between the quality of the work and the level of service, I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. Menard’s is the real deal—honest mechanics who genuinely look out for their customers. Highly recommend!

I have never like a family member at a mechanic before - but that is truly how they treat you. I stumbled upon them while in need of a new radiator - they pushed things around to get me in and out before close - and never made me feel like I was being pressured or misunderstood. Such an amazing family owned company and they will have my business for life. Especially with their incredible knowledge of older trucks. I know my 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara will be handled with the most care. Thank you!

Dan & Danielle are super! Dan took the time to listen and try everything leaving nothing uncovered. In the end as a last effort replacing the fuel tank was the problem. I'm very happy I brought my vehicle to Dan and will continue to have him and his team service my vehicles in the future. I Highly recommend them for any job needed to repair your vehicle.

The angry small man with the beard running the shop has no idea what he's doing. He does not care if the repair is made or if its just rigged up to get the customer home. Heater core leaking after one year spewing coolant all over the passenger floorboard. It used to be japan motors, but now its just trash. They'll never touch one of my trucks again. On my ford ranger it had a power steering leak they diagnosed it as the power steering pump. They replaced it and it continued to leak. I brought it back multiple times was assured it wasnt leaking and they tightened everything. The hose had a huge gash in it. Poor quality work and parts Lie some more what a joke

I had a really great experience with my new mechanic. From the moment I pulled in, they were friendly, genuinely kind, and took the time to understand my situation. They gave me an honest evaluation of what my car actually needed, without pushing unnecessary repairs, and offered a competitively priced oil change that felt fair and straightforward. What stood out most was how personable they were—clear explanations, no pressure, and real empathy for what I was dealing with. It made the whole visit surprisingly stress-free. It’s rare to find a shop that’s both fair with pricing and thoughtful with customers, and I’m grateful to have finally found one. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants honest service and good communication. Side note for others: good communication is a key part of a positive car‑service experience, helping avoid misunderstandings and building trust—exactly what this shop delivered

Dan at Menard was fantastic. He got my daughter’s car in on short notice (Yesterday) and had everything fixed by the end of the next day. She’s a 21-year-old teacher and doesn’t make much money yet, so we were really relieved that the cost was reasonable and affordable. The best part … Dan took a few minutes to “dad her” a little about the importance of maintenance. She doesn’t listen to a word from mom & dad, so it was nice hearing it from someone else for a change 😅. Fast, honest service and genuinely good people. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be going there moving forward.

I had a great experience at Menard Auto Repair. The team was honest, straightforward, and took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my vehicle before doing any work. That kind of transparency is rare in the auto repair world. They got me in quickly, diagnosed the issue efficiently, and the work was done professionally without any unnecessary upsells. The pricing was fair for the work performed, and everything was handled exactly as promised. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about their customers. If you’re looking for a trustworthy shop that knows what they’re doing, I would absolutely recommend Menard Auto Repair. I’ll definitely be coming back for future service.

This Company will have my business now and in the future. Their work and craftsmanship are absolutely superb. I took my 2015 Nissan Sentra in for a mechanical repair and evaluation. The work was done for a reasonable price and it now runs like a brand new vehicle. It is difficult to find this type of work ethic and honesty in today's world. If your having car problems I would definitely give Dan a call. You will receive an honest and fair assessment. No hidden fees no BS, just plain good old fashioned service that puts you back in the driver's seat.
