I drove home with oil smells inside the car. I opened the hood and saw that they forgot the motor cap off and oil spilled over the engine, hood, alternator, belt, exhaust, wires, firewall, etc. The motor could’ve got damaged or even worst the car could’ve caught on fire. Plus they over charged me $10 for 0.6 quart ($85). The guy is nice but overpriced and lack of professional service. Would never return to this shop.

I came in because my air wasn’t getting cold, I was told I needed a recharge and it was going to cost me $200 I also had to go and purchase and replace my own cabin air filter that cost an additional $50. Come to find out he knew it was my compressor the whole time, BUT because he was short on time that day he just took the $200 to recharge the air and as I was leaving told me that it probably won’t be cold until I get a cabin air filter so I drove right to Napa and got the air filter. I brought my car back up because it was now hotter than it was before, he never came out and looked at my vehicle he just immediately says “okay then it’s your air compressor and that’ll be around $1200.” If he knew my air compressor was bad and he was short on time he could’ve told me and I would’ve got the service done another day but instead he took a couple hundred dollars from me knowing that what he was doing was never going to fix the problem. Very disappointed, my family and I have been getting our cars serviced through him for years and it’s disappointing to see he’s starting to become “one of those mechanics” and ripping people off while times are hard.

It’s like he does the work just enough to make you think it’s fixed but it’s never really fixed and you’re constantly back in his shop for the same issues over and over. He is always rushing and always making up prices as he goes. He’ll tell me one price and come back and forget to told me that price and ask for higher and when I remind him he said a different price he immediately “remembers” and goes back to his original price. He’s definitely gone downhill and while in the waiting room I was listening to another customer saying the same thing I am saying now. Unbelievable people can sleep at night knowing they’re literally ripping off hard working people.

These guys are fantastic. I was driving down Dobson rd for work when my car started to emit a burning smell and suddenly seized up and left me a rolling duck. I pulled into the nearest plaza and suspected a alternator failure. It was absolute luck that I rolled into this plaza where Sunbelt Auto was. I asked them for assistance and they were extremely helpful. I left my vehicle to be inspected by them and they confirmed it was indeed an alternator failure. They informed me of 3 different options for replacement at different price points. I made my decision where they then told me the cost for labor which was incredibly fair. I initially broke down around 9:30am and they had my vehicle repaired and back on the road by 12:30pm. I am extremely grateful for the speedy friendly service and good honest work. They do great work here and are transparent with their costs and even offer labor warranty. I am coming here for now on with any future auto care needs. Thanks guys!

What can I say about chadi, he's the most honest and reliable mechanic I know! He will not steer you wrong (no pun intended) he goes out of his way to make sure he did a great job! 10 outta 10!! Don't go any other place unless you wanna get disappointed!!

Super quick, affordable, trustworthy and amazing service. I couldn’t renew my registration because of a failed emissions test. Every shop I called couldn’t see me for several days. Chaddie got me in same day! I dropped my car off around 2 or 3pm and it was ready for pick up by noon the next day. Even when I was in the shop it was in and out, I can tell he values my time as a customer and I totally appreciate that. I never felt he was trying to upsell me or talk me into anything. I was expecting to pay way more than what he charged me, so that’s an added bonus. It’s great to have a mechanic that you trust. I’m really bad at taking care of my car so I’m sure I’ll be back soon 😂 thanks Sun belt auto! PS - I successfully passed my emissions test 👍

I have been extremely happy with Sunbelt, the service is awesome, I have never been surprised by a bill and the honesty and friendliness of the mechanic here at sunbelt means I would recommended them even if you are not local. My family and I have been depending on my used car so much more recently and times have been rough, without a good mechanic who is able to go above and beyond I dont know how I would have gotten through it. From the first visit he has fostered the sort of relationship that you would only expect from a mechanic in your family, helping keep pricing within my budget and doing that little bit extra of showing me what's going on from what is worn down and what actually needs fixing. Genuinely the best mechanic I've had.

I have lived in Arizona since 1988. I have met 3 honest auto repair mechanics in that time. Two of those are still around. Chadi El Damouni of Sunbelt Auto Service is one of them. I have taken more than a dozen vehicles to his shop. He is proficient, patient and persistent. He might be the best mechanic I have ever met and I have been around for a very long time. You can completely trust his work and his word. He will not rip off young women or little old ladies, like 97% of all ato repair shops and He won't rip you off, either. His rices are very fair and affordable. If you need a vehicle inspected, diagnosed or repair, go to Sunbelt. Skip the rest. Sunbelt Auto Servuce at 517 S. Dobson on Mesa is the best general repair shop in the valley. There are some areas he doesn't work on. He will let you know.

May I please point out that Every Local Guide reviewing this mechanic has given a positive review. I don't know about the other guides, but for me I'm cursed with saying things the exact way I see them, whether my opinion is favorable or not. Just took my 2014 Ram here. I'd let needing the brakes & rotors needing to be done go far too long as I currently work nights & have no options for when I'm awake. I had extreme metal grinding when braking. However, they got the job completed the same day I called & kept my truck on the road, all within the hours I needed to sleep. I drive 50 miles to work every evening. My drive to work yesterday evening was extremely comfortable. With Rams 2012 & newer it becomes a bit obvious when things are done right or not... This work was quality. I'm EXTREMELY picky where I take my truck as it's my lively hood. I would recommend this place. They were $398 dollars below my cheapest estimate I had prior. I've been looking for about 2 weeks before coming here. And again, quality is what I got

I used these guys for years and they used to be great. I got my rotors and brakes replaced by them. 3 months later i went in for a oil change and the guy with the milky eye told me that my brake pads and rotors were bad. I was very suspicious so I checked them myself I removed my tire and all and checked them myself. They were still were basically brand new. I do not trust these guys anymore. Recently my GF came in for a oil change and told her that her brake pads and rotors were bad. She went ahead and paid them and got her rotors and brake pads replaced. They charged her over $450 on a small car that could have been done for under $200. These guys have gotten scummy they used to decent, actually cared and used to tell you the part prices and cost of labor. Just be careful if they tell you that you need your brakes replaced. They are very predatory and will bring you out and tell you to look and feel them. They will insist that they are worn out.

What a great shop! They are extremely FAST, FRIENDLY, Professional and AFFORDABLE! I would check with them first. Other shops wasted our time and gave us quotes that were unreasonable along with diagnosis that were faulty. Forget about the National chain stores. Support local business while doing yourself a favor. Go see them for any of your auto repair needs. They are very honest and professional. As I waited for them to fix my vehicle, I met a procession of loyal customers from the immediate area that had came back because of their satisfaction with recent services. I found that the reputation of this shop had preceded itself. Just what I was looking for and in need of at the time. Don't forget to tip!!!

Went for an oil change over the weekend and it was such a good experience. They were very fast and super friendly. They didn't try to sell me anything extra either. This is my go to place from now on for my car needs and I will be recommending it to people. Thank you for the great service!

These guys are awesome! My car died on a Sunday afternoon as I was waiting to get on the 60 at Dobson, did a quick Google search and was pleased to find this place open, only 2min from my location with positive reviews and I now I see why! Diagnosed a popped off hose and had me safetly back on the road within the hour NO CHARGE! Very nice, professional and clean. Glad to find honest service, definitely coming back for routine maintenance 👍Thanks again guys!!
