My 2002 Tahoe was experiencing random bouts of rough running, Service Engine Soon light on etc. It was one of those nightmare issues were the engine would run very poorly and every time I got it to Combs the engine was running perfectly. In the course of all this, all four catalitic converters were ruined. The issue seemed to be a bad injector. After changing the Catalitic converters and a couple injectors I got the car back, it fine for a day or so and then it ran even worse. Upon returing it to Combs it was apparent that all four catalitic converters were again ruined in the 20 or so miles I had driven it, and again the engine was running perfectly. The Chief mechanic agreed to keep the car for a few days and drive it to and from work, it ran perfectly for him until the 7th day when it again began to run rough. The mechanicwas able to immediatly pull over and with his tools and was able to diagnose the problem on the spot. As it turned out a rodent had been chewing on the main engine wiring harness in an area very difficult to view causing the intermittent miss fire due to the ignition not fireing the spark plugs. Combs did not charge me a penny for the second round of new catalitic converters, the time to do the diagnosis of the problem, or for the bypass wiring harness that their mechanics fabricated to correct the mouse caused issue. Since then I have put over 100,000 miles on the car (now 205,000) with absolutely no problems. I recomment Combs highly, they did not give up on finding what the problem really was, and stood by their work.

Combs Automotive has been my mechanic of choice for 25- 30 years. They have over that time cared for dozens of our family cars - during the years our kids were in high school and college they were maintaining our "fleet" of 5 vehicles. A few years ago, I entrusted Combs to do a complete mechanical restoration of my vintage 1970 Mustang. I went by there on a Saturday afternoon to look in on it, and found the mechanic WAXING my car...........just because he was so "into" the project! I trust Leo and Eric to always look out for my best interest while my car is in the shop, and have never been let down. I moved to Chandler a few years ago, but if I need something important done to my car, I still make the long trip to Combs in north Scottsdale. Their prices are always fair, they stand behind their work and that is why they have been there for longer than I can remember!

We moved to the Pinnacle Peak area a few months ago and went to Yelp to find an Auto Repair Shop that was in the area. I came across a shop named Combs Auto Repair and decided to give them a try. My vehicle has 95,000 miles on it and asked for an oil change and replacement of my spark plugs. They called and gave me an estimate and I told them to go ahead and perform the work. About 2 hours later, they called and said my car was ready. To my surprise, they said that the plugs had already been replaced from some other shop on an earlier date and didn’t need to be replaced. All I paid for was the price of the oil change. Everyone, This is an “HONEST” Auto Repair Shop. Their staff is friendly, professional and I was impressed how clean their facility was. I will recommend Combs Auto to friends and family.

I was more than pleased with the service I received at Combs. Leo handled the assessment of my vehicle that had to be towed in. My vehicle needed a major repair that I could have been uncomfortable with as a first time customer. After talking with Leo I had every confidence that I was in good hands. The repair was done quickly. They found something that had been broken a long time and missed by my shop in Colorado, that fixed the vehicle rides noticeably better!! If you like to take good care of your car like I do you will be pleased with the thorough service you will get at Combs. I will definitely use them any time I can and highly recommend them to anyone I know.

Ive used Combs for over 5 years on my past 2 vehicles for routine maintenance. Everything always seemed to go well. Yesterday, I took it in for more routine maintenance and an a/c check since the air was not performing as usual. I was told I needed a complete a/c overhaul including a compressor. Price quote was $1,900. Luckily, my co-workers let me know that was a bit steep and suggested I try one of their shops. Turns out the compressor was fine and my car just had a bad a/c hose. Air is now working fine now and it cost me $500. Cant see myself going back to Combs after this experience. Mark Kot

Ive taken my wifes Audi and our pickup trucks there, weve always had prompt, polite and competent service. They are faster than the dealerships and cost significantly less for the same work. We found them after the Scottsdale Audi dealership missed a nearly dead battery during a pre-trip service check up. Combs had the oddball battery and got it installed with only a slight delay to our trip.

First time I have ever had a mechanic/service center that actually tries to save me money. I know? Ridiculous right? Honest opinions, solid answers, affordable labor and parts. I love these guys. I will NEVER EVER go to a dealer again. Dont even get me started on explaining that comment. If you live in the North Scottsdale area, these guys are definitely worth checking out.

I rarely ever give reviews but, I definitely want to thank Mark and Leo for fixing the Jeep Cherokee. I was there to get some front end work done and upon learning I was recently swamped in the Verde River they gave the jeep a solid look and helped me fix many fluid issues. Great Job and of course I would recommend them to anyone near North Scottsdale. Tim

Used their service for years and had a routine oil change done. They nearly blew the engine up as they didnt check their work and ended up having 2 gaskets on the oil filter. They were kind enough to give me the $38 for the oil change but wouldnt pay for the $150 bill from a real mechanic that had to come out and fix it. DO NOT USE THEM!!!

This was my first visit and I was totally impressed. I was greeted promptly on arrival and the work was completed in a timely manner. The estimated charges were very accurate and reasonable. I will continue to have my vehicle serviced at Combs Auto Repair. Im very fortunate as it is only a few blocks from where I reside.

I recently took in my 2007 Xterra which had ignition problems - Combs fixed the problem and the Xterra hasnt run this good since it was new. They didnt try to sell me anything extra and stuck to the quote they gave me. I have been taking my vehicles to Combs for over 15 years now and trust them to do a good job!

Ive been a Combs customer for approx. 15 years. There are several reasons why I wouldnt go anywhere else -- all my dealings have been positive; they take time to explain problems and recommendations; and I believe that I am being charged a fair price. I recommend Combs Auto Repair to all my friends!
