Like many, I wasn't happy with the dealership and started browsing for a new shop. I trusted the forums and reviews and started going to The Auto Bar a couple of years ago for my Toyota trucks. No regrets! Just ask anyone in the waiting room: everyone who finds Gabe is grateful to have him as their car guy. He’s the local secret for Toyota and Lexus, and once you know, you won’t take your car anywhere else.

Gabe has always been my go to since I've found him. From his shop from gilbert to now in mesa. I live in san tan valley and I drive to him. That's how much trust I put my vehicles in his care. Honest guy. Great staff.

I had my brakes, oil change, air filters, and spark plugs replaced here, and the whole process went very smooth. The staff was friendly, professional, and made sure I understood everything along the way. The quality of the work is excellent — my car feels great after the service. I really appreciate the professionalism and efficiency, and I’ll definitely be coming back for future maintenance.

Came across Auto Bar after reading positive recommendations from others on Reddit. They replaced a rear subframe and front struts. They were very honest on what needed to be replaced and kept me updated on progress. Would definitely recommend to others.

Gabe at The Auto Bar is the best! He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also friendly and trustworthy, a rare combination in the auto repair world. After two shops, including a Toyota dealership, misdiagnosed my Sequoia, Gabe quickly identified the real issue and gave me two repair options, including a budget-friendly one. He communicated clearly, worked efficiently, and got my car back to me as quickly as possible. I highly recommend The Auto Bar!

*** YOU FOUND YOUR GO TO SHOP!**** 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4 220,000 miles Gabe has taken care of my 4Runner acouple times now. Had two major services done recently in the engine bay and also suspension work, he went above and beyond even completing work he noticed that needed to be done (within reason) even tho it wasn't discussed it seems like he takes the initiative to get things done right! My 24 year old toyota drives like new, It's hard to find a mechanic that is not only reasonable and knowledgeable but trust worthy. You won't go wrong with coming to The Auto Bar! I'd buy only Toyota's from now on cause Gabe is going to keep them running! Just picked up a LX470 landcruiser ill be bringing to him as well. If he moves ill follow! Much gratitude for Gabe and The Auto Bar in treating my vehicle like his. Will be back for any maintenance and repair ill need in the future!

I’ve brought my 2015 IS here twice for AC related issues. The first time I brought it in was after we paid another mechanic for a fix which wasn’t causing the issue. Auto Bar figured it out. The second time was for AC issues again, which were repaired quickly and to my satisfaction. I’d recommend Auto Bar to all Toyota and Lexus owners.

The Auto Bar was recommended by a family member and I’m extremely impressed! The team was very kind and thoughtful in their communication with me, and was clear on what needs to be completed with my vehicle. I had received an estimate from a different auto shop, and thankfully I came to the Auto Bar for a second opinion as they saved me over $1k! I’m super impressed by the whole team there and my car is working like new again! Can and will recommend!

I’ve been going to Gabe for several years now. He’s honest, fair with his pricing, and the only one I trust to work on my 2014 SR5 4runner. I can’t say enough good things about The Auto Bar.

AZ Auto Bar has great customer service and had my vehicle in for maintenance and out in 1 hour. They followed up with a quote via email for the next service I want to have done within a couple hours after that. Will return and would recommend to others.

The Auto Bar provides great service at a reasonable price. Gabe is the nicest guy and straightforward with diagnostics. Another local service provider tried to tell me my ABS system was failing and wanted $2,800 to replace. Gabe said there is nothing wrong with it. Beware, there are shops out there that want to screw the customer. Not with The Auto Bar!

I drive over 30 miles just to see Gabe! He's skilled, honest, and trustworthy. I know enough about cars to tell when a mechanic is trying to pull one over, and I've dealt with plenty who do. Gabe is the opposite: straightforward, incredibly knowledgeable, and always fair. He does quality work and is fairly priced. It's a real relief to finally have a mechanic I can count on. I'm grateful I found him and would recommend him without hesitation.

There is no better feeling than knowing your taking your car or truck to the most competent mechanics that are treating your vehicle as their own at a very fair price! Id never go any other place. Love the whole place from the warm receptionist to the great mechanics.

Best Toyota private shop ever! Toyota trained techs, great prices, great service. Wonderful people. Honest, reliable and very knowledgeable. And just plain kind and caring. Never go anywhere else. Took my Highlander to three other shops and was lied to about services needed to the tune of $4,800! Believe me when I tell you, Gabe will not lie to you and the job he does is thorough and honest. The truth of my needed repairs was about $3,000 less than other shops quoted. He test drove my car for a full day, took it home and went through everything. The shop prices are exceptional. Service is fast. His wife Carlie is a blast to talk to! She gave me rides home. I love these people! I now consider them friends. Never taking my car anywhere else. The absolute most comforting automotive experience I’ve had.

I have been coming to the AutoBar since they opened their first shop in Gilbert. I was looking for a Toyota/Lexus master mechanic that was as honest as he was skilled. Gabe has been servicing several vehicles (Land Cruiser/GX470/Sequoia/RX330) for me over the years and all the work has been done extremely well using quality parts and fluids. I have never been sold anything I don't need. I have referred several friends to the AutoBar, all of whom are extremely satisfied. If you want better than dealership skills and service, at a competitive price, give them call.

What can I say about the Auto Bar. Good, fair knowledgeable and they communicate!! Super friendly and treat ya like you are part of the family!!! Such just great service; so I’m taking the time to write my review. Got my engine switched out, oil changes, alignments, as well os other maintenance on our Fords. Also my diagnostic when my Runner went down. N they will tell you honestly if something doesn’t need to be done or if it’s a minor thing.

I cannot recommend Auto Bar highly enough. Gabe has been servicing my 2004 Lexus ES330 for over 315,000 miles, and thanks to his expertise and meticulous care, it continues to run strong. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident — it happens because of honest, knowledgeable, and proactive maintenance. I recently purchased a 2017 Lexus RX350 with over 100k miles, and without hesitation, I entrusted it to Gabe as well. His integrity, transparency, and technical expertise give me complete confidence every time I drop off a vehicle. He takes the time to explain what is needed, what can wait, and what is unnecessary ..which is rare in the automotive world. If you are looking for an honest, reliable, and highly skilled mechanic who truly cares about his customers and their vehicles, Auto Bar is the place to go. Gabe is the real deal.

I’ve been going to The Auto Bar in Arizona since I owned my very first car; a 1997 Toyota Camry and they’ve taken incredible care of me from day one. Fast forward to now, I drive a 2025 Toyota Camry, and I still wouldn’t trust anyone else with my car. They truly specialize in Toyotas, and it shows. They’re knowledgeable, honest, and always transparent about what actually needs to be done. I’ve never once felt pressured into unnecessary repairs or upsold on things I didn’t need. Their pricing is fair, and they always take the time to explain everything clearly. It’s rare to find a mechanic you can genuinely trust long-term, but The Auto Bar has earned that trust from me over the years. I recommend them to everyone I know who drives a Toyota. If you’re looking for an honest, reliable Toyota mechanic in Arizona, this is the place to go.
