CBS Automotive Inc.

Jim has always been good to me and there have been times they haven’t charged me. They are about half what other shops charge. I live at 19^th and cactus so it’s out of the way but worth it! My ex husband even goes here now and my daughter.

I was recommended by my cousin which couldn’t find what was wrong with his truck he took it to Jim which is the owner I assume he has great attitude all the time if it’s the top of the morning or if he is about to close
Well I got to say they did great by fixing my mustang I don’t have any type of knowledge on cars I found some mechanic on Craigslist which was the worst idea
And couldn’t tell me what was wrong I took my car to Jim on Tuesday last week and he was able to get it done by Friday not enough time for me to get the money ha ha special thanks to the guys out there CBS auto repair very straight forward guys if you are looking for a mechanic he is the guy to go to thanks again

I moved recently to the area, and in my USPS address change confirmation mailing, there was a coupon for a free oil change at CBS.
I called ahead and Jim let me know the wait, and it was accurate. They were quite busy, and the location property isn’t the busiest, so it was interesting watching them play car swap.
Oil change was done quickly. Everyone there was really nice. Don’t expect any fancy sitting area though since office is tiny. However, the work was done fast.
Jim made it a point to let me know that all estimates and checks are free, which is always a nice bonus.

Our family takes all 9 of our cars to Jim. We let him service our car from everything to a basic oil change to transmission work. Jim is the best, fast friend service and always answers our questions! I won’t take my car to another shop.

This is by far the best automotive repair shop around. It’s so good I drove all the way from Cave Creek, Az. Jim the owner takes pride in what he does! He has a lot of integrity and will be completely upfront and honest with you, While I was there he was doing a lot of work on a 99 BMW that needed a rear passenger axel rebuild along with other allignment things done to it, when the owner left his car he couldn’t believe that it was only going to cost him $ 369.00 after being quoted a price of $ 800.00!!! While I was there I had my transmission serviced, oil changed, air filter changed and he checked my brake calibers as I had been told I needed new ones which was not the case! Thank goodness I took it to this shop my total bill was less than $ 100.00 I told Jim I wanted to get at least 200,000 miles out of my car, he told me that would not be a problem as I have taken good care of it and had it serviced as scheduled. I just always went to toyota for service not anymore my business belongs to this garage they are the best!!!

I discovered this garage one day over a year ago when my ignition locked up. The tow truck driver that came to get me asked me where I wanted to go. I told him I had no clue, and asked for a recommendation. He gave me a few options, and mentioned that CBS is where he takes his own cars. I decided to give them a try. It was THE BEST decision I could have made. I have since taken my car in several times to be worked on, and I will continue to give CBS my business.
Jim (the owner) is very honest and upfront and will answer any questions you have. He does not try to rope you into work that your car does not need, and is VERY fair with his pricing. If you are in a rush due to work or something, he tries to accomodate you. (The garage is VERY busy tho, and on days when I was not in a rush I did do quite a bit of waiting around. That is truly the only bad thing I would say about them, tho! And I mean, sometimes you just have to wait when people are in front of you.) They have done a number of different things to my car (a 1988 Buick – still runs well but issues tend to crop up on such an old car), and I have been happy with all their work so far.
Fully recommend!

Jim is a very honest individual. He diagnosed the problem and fixed my car as promised; for a price that was below what I thought to be a fair price. His repair shop is extremely busy due to his integrity in my opinion. I will definitely go to him for future repairs.

Recently my boyfriend moved to town and had to pass emissions. The truck wasn’t quite doing it, so we took it to CBS because I trust them so much. Unfortunately, we spent $ 800 and 2 months on this, and the problem only got worse. Jim insisted that the truck should be able to pass, but he couldn’t figure out the problem. We finally took it to a guy a friend suggested, and the replaced the O2 sensor and the battery. That’s all it needed. I’m not sure how Jim could have NOT replaced the O2 sensor. I’m giving them a 3 because of all the good service I’ve received in the past, but I am disappointed and don’t know if I can go back.
