Highly recommend Thunderbird Automotive. John the owner is a man of his word. I appreciate the honesty and integrity from Jordan and John while getting to the bottom of ongoing issue with my vehicle. Thank you for everything.

I couldn't be more happier after leaving Thunderbird automotive specialist. They took their time making sure that my vehicle got fixed and did the extra mile to make sure that it was safe for me and my daughter.Thank you And on them they even got me a ride back home and when my vehicle was then they sent me a lift to pick me up that was wonderful. Thank you again

I highly recommend Thunderbird Automotive. My daughters car was over heating when we got her to Arizona on move in day in August for college. Jordan git us right in to fix her car knowing I was leaving the state the next morning. He handled everything over the phone while I was back in California and made sure my daughter was taken care of. Her car needed a new thermostat. Then Friday she needed a new battery. He took care of that as well. It’s comforting knowing there is a knowledgeable honest company out there that won’t take advantage of our young college kids when their parents are so far away. I have no doubt this is how they treat all of their customers. If you have any car trouble in Phoenix look them up.

We recently had some extensive work done at Tbird Automotive Specialists. We're very pleased with the work completed. There was an issue with a part when we picked up our vehicle and drove it home, but we were able to get it worked back in right away and Tbird fixed the problem. I'm sure this fix was labor intensive, but this did not cost us. Thank you Tbird Specialists! We will be giving our business to you, again.

Went in for an oil change and then had some important extra work done. 1. Quoted me a fair price, 2. Finished before estimated time, 3. Answered all my questions and as a senior citizenI I had a few, 4. Overall, it was a very good experience. Thank you Jason.

My visit on 11/15 with a Focus ST for oil/filter, 100k mile coolant flush/replace and brake fluid flush/replace was my first time bringing a vehicle to Thunderbird. A thorough and appreciated inspection of the vehicle by Thunderbird’s mechanic found a fuel leak that I never would have discovered. Jorden provided a fair estimate for the repair and we went ahead with the work and the car was back to me the same day as promised. A week later, after filling the vehicle full with gas, I discovered excessive fuel leaking from under the car. Returned to Thunderbird frustrated and concerned the leak was not repaired. Jorden and staff assured me they were just as concerned about my worries and safety, provided me with sincere apologies for the return visit, and went right to work on determining what happened. After discovering the true source for the leak, Thunderbird credited me the full amount of the previous parts and labor and went above and beyond my expectations in resolving the situation! I commend Jorden for keeping me informed every step of the way, and the rest of the crew for delivering an exceptional experience. I will be back!

Nov 07, 2024

I have a 2002 Chevy Blazer they recently repaired. Seems I had been driving on switched distributor wires to plugs 1 & 3. Eventually burned out the distributor cap & rotor, causing the engine to cease. Note: I have had this car in various mechanics hands and not a one saw this. I am giving these guys 5 stars. They deserve it.


Nov 07, 2024

I highly recommend Thunderbird Automotive. Everyone there is so kind and professional. Recently got my car fixed and it drives like a dream, I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their car serviced.


Nov 07, 2024

I took my Toyota 4Runner in for a alignment, the steering pull to the left and wearing the tires they did a fantastic job, centered the steering wheel, no pulling to the left and it’s been several months now and my new front tires show no wear extremely happy and will always use And recommend Thunderbird Automotive for all my auto repair jobs


Nov 07, 2024

This place is awesome; Great staff, understanding of my personal situation, & easy to work with, also great communication & they keep you well updated. I’ve had a few frustrating, & unfortunate experiences with previous shops & mechanics; I gave Thunderbird Automotive a try, they had found issues that went undetected on previous shops’ radars. Aside from the countless amount of 5 stars reviews , I also noticed that this place has been in business since the ‘70s. With the quality service & satisfactory experience I had here, they seem to be the last of a dying breed. This was my first time taking my car for repairs, & very much more than look forward to my future appointments here, as this is my new go-to spot for auto repairs. Thanks! -J

Everyone associated with Thunderbird Automotive are well trained conscientious people. They are truly concerned with keeping the safest best performing vehicles on the road. My most recent experience has been superb. Having a classic vehicle is an obligation and a very distinct pleasure. The people at Thunderbird Automotive are professionals and I can count on them to give me their very best efforts everytime.

Good Prices, Quick service , Great Customer Service and very helpful people.

Had a very complicated and tricky issue with a kia hybrid. Ended up saving me ~$7,000 compared to a nearby dealer. The dealer quoted me a complete transmission swap, which I felt was unnecessary and they agreed. The time and effort they put into getting it done and done properly is wildly appreciated. Been running strong since!


Oct 07, 2024

I had an Oil Change, Oil Filter, Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filters done on my 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback. TAS is always Professional and explain things clearly and get you in and out as fast as possible. They even made me aware one of my tires, a local Tire Shop mounted was rotating in the wrong direction, which I was not aware of! Emily Lopez in the front office was awesome and I thank Technician Glenn McQuiston for working on my car and catching the tire issue. As well as performing the work on my wife's car. I have brought my other Vehicles in the past as well which were a 2017 Dodge Ram and 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and experienced great work as well. Thank you again Emily and John for your hard work and dedication to customer service and trusted work. Much appreciated, will keep coming back for any of my Vehicles maintenance/repairs! - Jorge Regalado

I have been looking for a good mechanic shop, I got tired of the dealership shenanigans, called a few, then talked to a few people that had work done there, they had no complaints, Jacob the service Rep is fantastic to deal with and the work that Thunderbird Automotive did was exceptional, they will be servicing all of my vehicles.


Oct 07, 2024

I have taken my car to Thunderbird Automotive Specialists two times, and have had great experiences both times! They are friendly and took care of my car while keeping the price affordable. Thank you!


Oct 07, 2024

Jacob is amazing as well as everyone else that works here HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thunderbird Automotive


Oct 07, 2024

Quality service with integrity and professionalism. Spoke with Jacob, he was great! Very honest and sincere and felt like I can trust with my vehicles. Highly recommend, the inspection reports.


Oct 07, 2024

The people here are knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. They performed all needed services as promised. They beat the dealership's price for the hybrid battery replacement, getting original equipment, not a refurbished battery. I have used Thunderbird Automotive for about 7 or 8 years now, and have always been satisfied with their service.


Oct 07, 2024

They wont do the work unless they sell you the part. . . . If you love wool pulled over your eyes. Go here!!!
