Wildcat Automotive was awesome. My wife was in town for just a couple days and had an issue with her brakes. Wildcat was very accommodating and took care of it the same day. They also identified a couple other issues we knew were due for and offered to take care of them- no upsells. The pricing was very reasonable and the service was fantastic. Overall they did a fantastic job with an ultra quick turnaround time.

Doug is the man! He was very thorough in helping my mother Patty with her truck. Wildcat automotive for the win!

This is the BEST mechanic I have ever been to and maybe the best in town. Doug is honest and will make the necessary repairs without upselling or overcharging. He also tells great jokes!

Wildcat Automotive has always been a wonderful experience! Doug and his team are honest, helpful, and friendly. I highly recommend Wildcat Automotive to anyone in the Tucson area—truly the best auto repair shop in town!

I've taken my car into Wildcat twice now. Both times the work was done quick and well - not to mention on late notice. I've been here for fifteen years and tried a dozen shops, and I doubt I'll have a need to go to another.

Wildcat Automotive is wonderful! I know my car will always be taken care of in a fair and honest diagnosis whenever needed. I go here for any oil changes as well. Doug is a great guy and I’m happy to be able to take my car to such a trusted shop!

Wildcat are so attentive, love they send me reminders for oil change etc. Good mechanics!

As always honest estimates, quick and thorough work always providing much needed help so I don't even shop around anymore after all these years.

Great place to take my vehicles. Honest, fast, friendly service!

I needed a radiator problem fixed. They were very professional, calling me promptly upon discovering the issue and giving me a fair price. The issue was fixed very quickly, thank you!

Doug is thoughtful in presenting what does our doesn't need to be done with my car, he never talks down to me or treat me like I don't know what he's talking about, he doesn't guilt me into doing more than I need to and he's really kind in all of his dealings. I've really enjoyed being a customer of his.

Efficient, friendly, fast, fair pricing. He even gave me a parting gift- a Velma Pez dispenser on the counter, since it matched my name. Will be back :)

I was referred to Wildcat Automotive myself, by a neighbor and I could not be happier with the work or service Doug has provided. He is trustworthy, reasonably priced and has really gone the extra mile. Needed repairs never come at a good time for anyone, but it had become something that really stressed me out because I could no longer do the work myself and have had some “not so great” experiences elsewhere. Not anymore though! I can finally relax, knowing my car is in good, experienced hands, and be it a simple or more complex repair, the bill will be fair & honest. I highly recommend Wildcat automotive!

I hate writing reviews and so I have postponed writing this review for 6 years-maybe things have changed since 2018. I went to wildcat automotive years ago to get a general checkup on my vehicle. When I returned to pick up my car wildcat automotive had changed the spark plugs on my vehicle without first reaching out to me for consent. Right now my spark plugs are going out and it’s making me realize that when I brought my car in years ago there were no indicators that they needed to be replaced. This is the most dishonest experience I have ever had with an automotive shop and I figure the stars should at least reflect this. To top it all off the shop then put my name on a mass text list that they would text whenever they were short on work. I ended up blocking the shop’s number. This was not an experience unique to me-my friend also received these texts and chose to respond and ask to be taken off the list. Maybe things have changed in the last 5 or 6 years but I was finally driven to write this review because previously I had known that sending me texts was ridiculous and doing work on my car without my permission was unethical, but it hadn’t yet occurred to me that the work itself was bogus. These days I go to el vaquero automotive and the man is ethical to a fault. I have never gone back and would not recommend wildcat automotive.

I’ve been here twice, both very positive experiences. As a woman, I have a justified fear of mechanics. But, I actually trust this shop and don’t plan to take my vehicle anywhere else in Tucson. Respectfully, it feels like having my dad fix my car. It’s gonna get done right, and I don’t have to worry about being ripped off.

Wildcat Automotive is great & trustworthy. My roomate recommended wildcat automotive to me several months ago and I’ve gone back for work several times since then. Compared to other automotive shops, Wildcat Automotive is trustworthy and won’t try to scam you. 10/10!

Jan 06, 2024

Great experience! I needed some work done on it and a much needed oil change. I was quoted a fair estimate and I'm very pleased with the job and the customer service. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. And plan to take my other car for some maintenance as well.

My longtime mechanic moved across country and I’ve been dreading the task of finding a new one. My Dad offered up a list of a few mechanic’s that he’s dealt with (most affordable, flexible hours, cheap-quick fix, honest). I asked him which one was honest? And he said Wildcat Garage. I called over to see if he could take a look at my battery/alternator. He took a look, fixed the issue and was done within the hour. No B.S, no gimmick, just helpful, honest and fair. I’ll be taking my vehicles here going forward. Thank you!

Always friendly, Always professional, good work at an affordable price . I recommend highly recommended Wildcat automotive.

Doug did not do all the work I thought my car needed because he said it wasn’t necessary. That is one of the reasons I use Wildcat Automotive!!!

Dec 06, 2023

Fast, friendly, with reasonable price, I highly recommend this place

Dec 06, 2023

Great work, affordable prices and amazing customer service! Highly recommend!

Honest mechanics and fair prices

I have always had great service and quality repairs from Wildcat. Doug really cares about the work he does and that his customers are treated fairly and honestly. I send all my friends and even my mother here when they have car trouble. Great place.

I really hate to give this place a one star. Staff is amazing and they even gave us a big pack of baseball gum for free. They are so nice! My complaint comes from a safety point of view. We took our Honda there to get the tire fixed. All looked good, we make it home. Next day we go to work. My significant other takes the freeway to work and he just happened to forget his phone and came back. As soon as he pulled out of the parking space, the wheel came off . My person could have been on the freeway when that happened and that would have lead to a horrible accident, a life threatening one at that. When he called to let them know they responded with "That was one of my concerns". So you knew this could happen?! They said that the screws or something on there where stripped and would have need to be replaced. You should have called and told us, we would have paid for the new ones! Yes, they did offer a free tow to the shop, but would still charge for the fix. We had to take some time before posting the review as this was just something we needed to process. It really is great here, we've came twice before, this was just the 1 very bad experience or us.

Reasonable prices, great staff, plus you get a joke of the day!

Went to Doug based on my neighbor's referral for a simple A/C recharge. While the AC now works the bill was a lot higher for a fairly normal procedure. Instead of a reasonable $120 fee I was charged $145 = BIG ouch. There goes this senior's budget, no lunch celebration, no musical upgrades. Bummer.

When my previous long term mechanic retired I thought oh no. He referred me to Wildcat Auto, I am so glad he did. Doug fixed my check engine light problem with great skill. What I appreciate most about this shop. 1- He is honest, doesn’t try to up sell me something I don’t need. Also if I can’t afford something to be done at that time, he lets me know how long before the repair needs to be done. 2- He always works my Toyota and Chrysler Pt into the shop for repairs when we need them repaired. 3-repairs are completed fast, professional, and cost effective. I highly recommend Wildcat Auto.

Wildcat Automotive does everything right. Customer service, maintenance, troubleshooting, pricing, timing. I cannot complain about a single thing! Beyond expectations looking for a local shop to go to. I was referred to this shop by all of the reviews from reddit and google. Seemed like a good place to go to and everyone was right. Came in for oil changes, tire rotations and a flat tire. Received a quote for a water pump and timing belt change for our 2017 VW. I have quite a few mechanic friends and the quote I received from wildcat automotive is the best price for such a job. Will be using them so long as I live here! Thanks Doug!
