Very good service with outstanding generosity! They got my taco battery and serpentine belt replaced by the next day, as well as checking my car computer for any engine issues.

I used to sell parts (for a few different companies), so I know pretty much every shop in town. I live on the north side of town, and I rather drive 35 minutes than take mine and my daughter vehicle anywhere else. Not that I dont trust mechanics... but I dont trust mechanics... (there is many other good places, but I choose Sooters over any shop in Tucson)

They've been very helpful for the work I've needed done, and the price has been pretty fair. When it's something they feel uncomfortable with, they won't just do some work and take the money; they'll refer you out to people who can handle more specialized problems. I appreciate that kind of honesty.

Great people, great price, and straight forward. I called them as soon as I realized my vehicle had an issue they said they can check it out same day, but might take a few days to get the work done, they diagnosed it and had it ready the next day. I will recommend them to everyone and anyone that needs any vehicle repairs. 2014 Jeep JK

My daughter is a student at U of A, and I'm 1200 miles away. They kept me advised of repairs and did a great job for a reasonable price. It's nice to know that there are honest mechanics left in this world. I would highly recommend Sooters.

My daughter is a student at University of Arizona. We live in northern California. When she called me to tell me that the check engine light came on in her car and she's supposed to drive 800 miles home next week I immediately had a sunken feeling in my gut! After calling multiple shops that could not see her for two weeks I called Sooters, and spoke to Robert. He told me that if she could bring it down now they would run the diagnostic and see what repairs if any were needed. This was at 4pm in the afternoon. My daughter took the car down, they ran the test only to find out it was just an error that needed to be cleared. Thank you Sooters and staff for taking care of our daughter and making me feel there are still honest repair shops out there. I Highly recommend this business.

Very knowledgeable. Very friendly. Honestly, I'd rather have knowledgeable and here you get both! Family owned a plus!

Very knowleedgable and respectful techs!

We recommend Sooter‘s auto service! Very nice people that run a family owned business. We have had our three cars serviced there for many years. Never a problem. Always reasonably priced and fixed right the first time! We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Went there twice with good service, but the last time I went to get a diagnostic it was terrible! Already told them what I thought the issue was, and they ran a full diagnostic of my truck without telling me, and never telling me there would be a fee to check on the rattle sound. Come the next morning, they charged me $100 to confirm what it was! Topped off my coolant without calling me to see if it was okay, and still charged me for it. Never ONCE did they give me a heads up that I was going to have to pay! When I called back to ask what that all was about, they told me that I should EXPECT to pay because my truck was getting "serviced" when I never approved a full diagnostic. Never coming here again!

Would never recommend their services. Bad public relations.

Always great service. Love the service and the way staff treats me!

I came here from a recommendation. I am sad to say they were mistaken. I spoke with a woman who represented herself as the owner. She told me her guess was that a gasket was blown from overheating but to check she would have to go into the engine and it would cost approx $3000 for everything. I could not afford that. I luckily took it to one other mechanic before selling the car. He took one look at it, saw what the problem was and fixed it for $60. Maybe she saw a woman she could take advantage of or maybe she just didn't want to deal with my car. Either way, be careful who you try to trust.

I had brought my truck to Sooters many times. I had them replace some shocks on the last visit. They either didn't install it properly, or installed a bad shock. Either way, it almost caused me some serious issues. I will not be returning.

Sooter’s has been taking care of my car for 10 years now, and I have always appreciated their work, honesty, and care of both vehicles and their customers. Kim is an amazing business owner and runs a shop of friendly and knowledgeable technicians. I had some pricey front end work done recently, and since I started hearing a concerning sound when driving on bumpy roads. They got me in super fast for an appointment, a technician drove with me to make sure they identified the sound I was hearing, and they fixed the problem within an hour and half, as quoted :) They are always willing to make sure their work is sound. They reported to me the difference between a safety concern and a noise annoyance. I strongly believe that Sooter’s has never told me something needed repair that didn’t. I feel their assessments are fair and service is thorough, making me feel confident that my money is supporting the right local business. I’m beyond grateful to have found Sooter’s all those years ago and am a very happy customer, always!

Went here because I had a rounded hex bolt on my motorcycle, it was super quick. Aaron came to help me out and pulled the screw out in 5 minutes

Great family owned place ! This review is long overdue, since I was supposed to write it last year. Last year I had to do my belts and I was in a rush since the car was also getting harder to turn. I had also messed up the bolt near the belt area. That was another issue. Many shops quoted me high because of the stripped bolt, had far away appointments, or didn’t seem to care. When I spoke with the owner on the phone about my matter, she really listened and was able to get me in soon. The shop did a really great job and was able to find out what was causing my car to not turn smoothly. They were also able to loosen the bolt that I had stripped ! The final bill was also at least half of what some shops quoted. The second time I went was yesterday and today to pick up my Vehicle. I haven’t actually tried any other shops around town, so I can’t compare service in quality, but I am very happy with Sooters. I plan on using them for the future and have already recommended it to a few friends. Thank you Sooters!!! ** had to edit since I wrote the first one on Sir **

Great, quick and respectful. Good prices too. First time with them was awesome. Will be coming back.
Dec 06, 2022
I called to verify an estimate that I got elsewhere, which seemed pretty high. Even though I made it clear that another shop might end up doing the work, the woman who spoke with me took the time to look up the necessary details and give me their estimate. I'm new to town, and since I don't yet have a regular mechanic here, I really appreciated the help. I'd short-list Sooters for my future repair needs.

I feel very lucky that Sooter's was recommended to me when we moved to Tucson several years ago. They are always highly professional, do the repairs they say they'll do at the price quoted, and are extremely friendly. Nothing but excellent experiences here.

I have used Sooters for over 15 years and they are the best! They wont cheat you and they give the best rapid service❤❤
Dec 06, 2022
Most honest and friendly mechanic I have found. Paul and Kim were both a joy to work with. They were extremely honest and took the time to talk to me with all my questions. They did not rush me at any point. I will be going to them for all my car issues moving forward.
Dec 06, 2022
My wife and I highly recommend Sooter‘s auto service. Been going here for years. Kim and her Technicians are the best! Fixed right the first time, every time! Honest and very reasonable. We would never go anywhere else.

We have been taking our cars to this business for many years. Always the best service and honest prices, and excellent mechanics. Big shout out to Kim in the office.
