Helped us with kindness and fairness about putting our Ford truck back to working order. Informed us every step of the way. I appreciate their expertise and ability to help us understand the inner workings of a complex system.

Needed a shop to service my vehicle and did a quick google search and Garrigans came up. It was close enough to me so I took a shot in the dark and went there. I have no complaints with them, they serviced my vehicle and gave me a full diagnostic printout of what was done, what’s needed immediately and what can wait. The prices were manageable too, matter of fact the prices might’ve been the best in the area. I’ve been there twice now and intend to have them be my go to for any car needs moving forward. I’m really pleased by the customer service, price and quality of work.

I can’t say enough about these guys. Honest to a fault. They are working on fixing our ac in a car. I say working on as we have life happening and it is more than just the ac so we will be bringing it back after surgery. Really the best shop we have been to since moving here in 2019. They will do all my work.

Well, it has been a week since I picked up my Truck from Garrigan's Auto repair shop. Truck Had multiple leaks. found out it was a problem child. But now the Truck is running really Good! They had to fix all the problems that Midas left behind as well. Thomas is a real professional with lots of experience. Janet and I are very pleased. Our Truck is no longer a problem child lol.

We were in a pinch when our vehicle fuel pump died in a parking lot. We had it towed over to Garrigan's on Golflinks hoping for the best. Thomas & team took great care of us and our 4 Runner and got us back on the road in no time.

These guy's got done what justabout nobody else in Tucson wanted to touch. Honestly is integrity and these people are both! I totally believe I wa brought to these guy's by a higher power! Say whatcha want. I had a new creat motor and I couldn't get any communication from it to the computer. They nailed it! Anthony is the man God bless you Anthony you made my year!

Great family run shop. They explain things, show you the issues and fix it for a reasonable price. They are my new garage of choice.

First time at Garrigan’s Auto Repair. I was totally impressed with their expertise of work on my car. Everything was explained to me, which expressed their care for me to understand . Very nice people to deal with. I would definitely recommend this Auto Repair to others.

I needed a new auto repair shop since the place I went to closed. I had a brake issue and they diagnosed the problem and I needed a wheel bearing. The reviews are spot on for the excellent quality service and would recommend to everyone 👍 Phil and Taylor are great and explained what else my RAV4 was going to need!!! Thanks 🤓

Madds Lanctot on 10/26/2025
I can’t recommend this place enough. I came in with an estimate from a chain repair shop that wanted to do over $2,500 of work. The team here gave my car a thorough inspection, explained everything clearly, and let me know those repairs weren’t needed yet. They didn’t charge me for the inspection and treated me with honesty and respect — qualities that are hard to find in this industry. I’ll be a loyal customer from now on!
Noah Berg on 10/25/2025
Not happy with the experience that I had with my diagnostics. Sent a message to the shop same day and got an immediate call back with a promise to respond via email early the next week but its been three weeks and have yet to hear back. Shop is clean and everyone was friendly / welcoming.

Thomas and Co are great people. My homies for life with my car. May our lord and savior Jesus Christ bless them and keep them safe in all they do. I just wish they fixed motorcycles lol
Uziel Hernandez on 10/14/2025
The first time I brought my truck here, everything went smoothly — they gave me updates, explained what was going on, and finished the job without any issues. That first visit really gave me confidence in their work. Unfortunately, my second experience was very different. It took about a week before I heard what was wrong with my truck, and I had to call for every update since they never reached out on their own. When I finally did get an answer, I wasn’t given many options for a simple fix or a clear estimate up front. It’s disappointing because my first visit showed they can provide good service, but the lack of communication and flexibility this time made the process stressful and inconvenient.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your second visit didn’t meet the expectations set during your first one, and we sincerely apologize for what felt like a lack of communication on our part. We want to note that the repair needed during your most recent visit was quite different in nature and complexity from the previous one, which may have contributed to the delays and the way updates were handled. That said, it’s our responsibility to keep you informed and involved throughout the process—no matter how complex the repair—and we regret that we fell short of that standard. We genuinely appreciate your past trust in us, and we're disappointed to hear that your confidence was shaken this time. If you're open to it, we’d like the opportunity to speak with you directly, clarify any remaining concerns, and see what we can do to make things right. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve. Sincerely, Thomas - Shop Manager Garrigan's Auto Repair Shop

Renae on 10/10/2025
This place is amazing! The workers here will treat you and your car with so much respect, I originally came here for a really bad oil leak and they we’re one of the only shops that were open on the weekends for me to call and schedule an appointment. Once they did the inspection on the car they gave me a detailed and comprehensive list on what was going on with my car with pictures of all of the issues. And I had known my car had a lot of work to be done on it since it was a 20 year old cash car bought earlier this year off of facebook marketplace, so I’ve been trying to find a shop I could trust to get my car where she needs to be and this is now my place. All of the staff know what they’re doing and well enough to explain it to me and answer all of my questions, they worked with my budget and helped me decide what needed to be prioritized and what could wait for a little bit. Leo did an amazing job with my car, he would even come show me the old parts and show me exactly what was wrong with them and why they needed to be replaced. Christy and Tom were very knowledgeable about my car and they didn’t make the experience feel like it was just a transaction or make me feel like I was stupid or incompetent because of the state of my car which is something as a very sensitive autistic woman, I personally value since I have left auto shops in tears before! But if you want a fast, knowledgeable, and friendly shop I would 100% recommend this place.

A+ service. Every touchpoint was exceptional when working with Garrigan's garage. The team was very friendly, and knowledgeable. They were able to work me in last minute with quick results.
Chris Haury on 10/04/2025
If you are in Tucson and need your car repaired this is the place to go!! Thomas got me in for service even though I was late. He and Christiana were so friendly and supportive in making the cost of our auto repairs as inexpensive as possible. Christiana did a very thorough job of contacting us, my wife, Danielle and I , about updates regarding our auto repairs. Arron Vanlieu was our technician and he did a thorough job of making sure our car was running like a dream. We are forever thankful to have a reliable place to go for our auto repairs. Thank you all so much for fixing our car and doing it so quickly and efficently. You all are like family to us and we appreicate you!!

Great Team and fast service
Casey Gause on 09/10/2025
My engine light came on Friday evening. I called Garrigan’s the next morning, and they were able to work me in for that day. Thomas made it easy to understand what was going on with my car and what the repair would be. Gave me the cost estimates up front and broke down the charges. Pricing was very fair, and the team did an excellent job with the repair. Definitely recommend them and will be bringing my car back for service in the future.
LIsa Levine on 09/06/2025
My engine was steaming with leaked coolant and this shop got me back on the road with basically just a phone call to Triple A and some good luck. Thomas at Golf Links was helpful and straightfoward.
Aaron Bush on 09/03/2025
Great group of people, really appreciate the service they provide. I have two older vehicles that they've helped maintain and keep rolling on. Would absolutely recommend them as a shop to go to.
Jennifer Moran on 08/30/2025
They did a great job as usual. Thomas is always helpful and nice. Had my cars AC charged. Thomas also did a donation to the Big Brothers & Big sisters. That was very kind. Thank you for your wonderful customer service.
Antonia Gonzalez on 08/27/2025
I'm so very happy and greatful in finding a trustful auto shop. A very good friend of mine informed me of Garrigan'sAuto Shop. Thomas was so helpful and informative of what was wrong with my car. Kept me informed on everything. Works with one in trying to get the work completed on time. Thank you to everyone there on Golf Links. They are the best and most trustworthy on their work.
Sarah Deane on 08/23/2025
Garrigan’s was nothing less than great. Honest, willing, helpful, and above all patient. And I will keep going back… I almost had the count the car a goner, now we have a solid engine, a warranty, and a new mechanic.

Been calling around for a auto repair upholstery place, when the guy answered, I asked him if you do auto. Upholstery. He said he was unable to answer that question. And I had to speak to a manager, and they were so busy, they couldn't come to the phone. Who doesn't know if you're an auto Upholstery place and you work there.
Shop Reply
We’re a little puzzled, we’re an auto repair shop, and upholstery is not something that repair shops typically handle. A quick Google search for “auto upholstery” will show that it’s a separate specialty, usually handled by upholstery or trim shops rather than mechanical repair facilities. We understand you spoke with one of our newer team members who wasn’t yet fully familiar with all the services we do and don’t offer, and they wanted to double-check with a manager before giving you an answer. Given that upholstery is outside the scope of what ANY auto repair shop would generally be expected to do, and easily verified online, we do feel this review does not accurately reflect the quality of service we provide. I would hope, of your truly a good person, you’ll consider updating your review with this context in mind. Rick Garrigan Owner

Very through inspection on my 2008 Super Beatle. Honest assessment 👏
Bethany Evans on 08/13/2025
I called them because my car's AC hasn't been working and they squeezed me in despite it being a busy Saturday. They did the AC inspection for free and a recharge for a reasonable price -- almost $100 less than what my dealership quoted me! Thomas was friendly too. It is such a relief to have cool air again. I appreciate the honest service and will definitely be back for future oil changes and repairs. Many thanks!

I called having a sudden issue with my car while on the freeway. They told me to safely get my car in so they can just look at it and to see if it was a danger to me. They ended up fixing my issues right then and there and didn’t charge an arm and a leg. Thomas was absolutely amazing and didn’t treat me like a dumb female who knows nothing about cars (which is me to a T 😂) they’re all awesome and I’ll definitely come back here in the future

Stevie Murrieta on 08/08/2025
After a hard summer of multiple mechanic shops, including break max, fail to fix or give a proper diagnostic of what’s wrong with my cars ac Thomas at Garrigan’s was more than helpful. He was reassuring and real about the whole situation, taking everything that had been done previously into consideration and leveling with me on what my next steps should be to get this situation handled. He gave me very valuable advice and de escalated my worries for the future. I will only be bringing my vehicles to Thomas and his team at Garrigan’s from now on. Being a Social Media Manager and working with multiple businesses in Tucson I can vouch that this is top quality customer service. I’m recommending Thomas and his team to everyone for their auto needs. Thank you so much again Thomas I appreciate everything you did for us.

Mario Orduno on 07/13/2025
I came in there. They pulled my car to the back and checked it for about 2 minutes and came back with an estimate of $1600. I then told them no thank you. Went to another shop who charged my ac and it’s been blowing cold ever since. Cost me only $300. Thanks anyway.
Shop Reply
Hi Mario, Thank you for your feedback. We understand it can be frustrating when a diagnosis comes quickly, especially when it leads to an unexpected repair estimate. That’s why we want to take a moment to explain our process and why we stand by the recommendation we gave. When you brought your 2013 Mustang in on June 6, 2025, for a complimentary A/C check, our technician quickly identified a clear issue: the front seal on your A/C compressor was leaking. While it may have seemed like a simple or fast inspection, it was performed by an experienced technician who recognized a common and visible failure. We could have offered a quick fix—such as evacuating and recharging the system—but doing so would have been against the EPA regulations we follow under our 609 A/C Servicing Certification. Beyond compliance, there’s also a strong industry standard (enforced by most parts suppliers) that requires shops to replace multiple A/C components and flush the remaining ones to ensure long-term reliability. In your case, the A/C system uses a parallel-flow condenser, which cannot be properly flushed. That means replacement is necessary to protect the new compressor and the rest of the system from damage due to contamination. We’ve seen firsthand how skipping these steps can cause a system to fail again—often very quickly. We understand another shop may have offered a recharge without these precautions, and that can seem like a better deal in the short term. However, we choose not to take a customer’s money if we believe the repair won’t last. That’s part of our commitment to doing the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest choice. We ask you to consider: if we had recharged your A/C, charged you for it, and the issue returned a month later—would the review have said we were "dishonest" or $1600 estimate? Instead, we gave you a complete and transparent diagnosis, without charging you for a service that has a good chance of not solving the problem. We truly hope you’ll reconsider your review. Our goal is always to provide honest, high-quality service, even when it means delivering news a customer may not want to hear. Thank you for the opportunity to explain. Sincerely, The Garrigan’s Auto Repair Team

Steve Padula on 07/11/2025
Went in to have them inspect my air conditioner. Not only did they fix my AC problem, they found that my serpentine belt was fraying and almost gone from a lose conncetion that caused the belt to wear on the sides. Honest, hard working, and reliable are the 1st 3 words I think of when I think of Garigans Auto Repair. Not the 1st time they have helped my family out of a jam, and saved us money in the process.

Thomas is always welcoming and very easy to talk to. Garrigan's is also honest about what work is needed on your vehicle; they don't try to scam you. Work is always well done and affordable. My only regret is that it took me so long to give Garrigan's a try.

We have taken several vehicles to Garrigan's and each time quality repairs were completed at a reasonable cost. People there are very easy to work with, knowledgeable, and stand behind their work. We will be going back for different repairs when they arise, but hopefully not in the too near future.

I had an awesome experience with the shop. My car started running weird, and I suspected an issue. I called Garrigan’s Auto Repair and they told me to bring my car right over. They diagnosed the problem quickly, replaced my coils and had me back to driving pretty quick! Thomas called me a couple of days later to check in and make sure everything was running smoothly. I recommend this place if you want honest, fast, and reliable service.

She handled everything and the whole crew took care of her and her “dated” car. They did a fine job to keep her on the road. Thanks again guys! Really a great spot.

Yesterday I was driving from Phoenix to El Paso, and when I exited the freeway in Tucson, I heard metal scraping. As it turns out, one of my under shields came loose and was hanging. I went to Garrigan‘s right away and let them know my circumstances, and they removed the shield for me and got me back on the road immediately. This is a very reliable and trustworthy shop with very kind people! If need be, I would definitely go here again, and I recommend it to everyone!
Rebekah Risley on 05/15/2025
I would put no stars if I could. My car was with them for almost 2 months for a power steering issue. Rushed me through the pay process before allowing me to inspect my own vehicle. After I paid is when he told me that I paid for new parts and they ended up using old parts from another car, then they ended up breaking my airbag system. Released the airbag system broken to me, which is a federal crime. I argued the charges and then 2 months later they illegally charged my bank again. Do not get services from them!!

Miss Risley's vehicle came in on a tow truck with a crank and no start issue. We scanned the vehicle computer and pulled over 20 codes, one of them being the clock spring resistance code and the others were a mix of battery voltage codes, body control codes, fuel pump related codes and CAN Bus (Controller Area Network Bus) codes and she was informed of all the codes including the clock spring resistance code, which we explained to Miss Risley's boyfriend (whom she wanted us to go through at that time). It took about 2 weeks from start to finish from getting the vehicle into the shop, diagnosing the original no start issue, getting authorization and then replacing the fuel pump. After her vehicle was running, we called her and her boyfriend and let them know the vehicle was ready. Her boyfriend then said the power steering is not working and asked us to look at that also. We diagnosed a bad steering assist motor and after authorization, installed a new one. This took another 2 weeks to hash out between the customer and our shop... communication was difficult. After authorization, we had to source the part. A few days later the part came in and was installed. To replace the electric steering assist motor you remove the steering column and replace the motor. When we were finished with the motor, we noticed the clock spring code was still there. We tried to do a quick diagnosis, but the air bag module would not easily unsnap from the steering column, so we stopped and let the customer know. At this point, the vehicle was running and steering properly and we waited for the customer to come and pick up her vehicle, but Miss Risley was on vacation and we had to wait a couple weeks for her to come back and pick up her car. When the customer came to pick up the vehicle, we re-informed the customer about the clock spring code and they took the vehicle. The customer did call about this matter a week or so later and we informed her that we want to do everything we can to help resolve this situation. We scheduled her to bring that vehicle back in so we can continue the diagnosis and get a plan on how to fix this issue and we even offered to have the vehicle towed in free of charge if she didn't feel safe driving it. That appointment was set for Tuesday the 29th of April, but the vehicle did not return and there was no follow up from the customer. As for a double charge, our management system will not allow us to do that. We also went through the batch reports for a time period and did not find a double charge. If for some reason there was a glitch, she is more than welcome to bring in the evidence of that glitch and we would be more than happy to refund what is hers. Garrigan's will always do our best to help, we listen, and we truly do care.

This is the BEST place to bring your vehicle for repair in TUSCON!!!!. I took my sons car there with what I thought was an AC compressor replacement. The customer service was impeccable both over the phone and in person. Matter of fact, upon inspecting the vehicle, I was advised that the AC compressor DID NOT need replacing, the fan was inoperable. They were HONEST and didn't try to extort money for a part or replacement that wasn't needed. It took less than a day to complete the work, and we are satisfied customers. Garrigan's has now become our permanent auto mechanic shop! Hands down, if you want honest prices, warrantied work, and excellent customer service... GARRIGAN's is where you need to go!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Shout out Thomas for actually saving me like $1k on repairs😭 dawg i work at a pizza place so he really came through

Thanks for the review man! We are very happy we were able to help you, and save you a lot of money as well. Sometimes it's really not as bad as we thought, that's why is critical we are allowed to perform a diagnostic and figure the problem out for our customers. Stay cool man, enjoy the AC!

Excellent!! If you are looking for a reliable, responsible, affordable auto repair shop run with integrity, this is the place. My daughter’s Audi stopped running unexpectedly. We had it transported to Garrigan’s Auto Repair shop in Tucson. Thomas immediately helped us. He was upbeat, friendly, helpful, organized and professional. He did a thorough diagnostic inspection to pin point the problem and make the necessary repairs. His communication was timely throughout the process. The repairs were made quickly, and the car was ready when promised. We are thrilled to now have a repair shop we can trust. Thank you Thomas! Thank you Garrigan’s!

WOW. Came here because of all the good reviews. Well deserved. Amazing service and very fair price.
Diane Bonbright on 04/13/2025
This is the best shop around everywhere else wanted 2 days to diagnose and fix and he did it in less than an hour. Had us back on the road.
Monica Peabody on 04/13/2025
I have taken my truck twice to Garrigan’s and each time they exceed my expectations. Thomas’s customer survive is unmatched and I love the transparency and honesty that he provided with each interaction. The work this shop does is excellent and they do it in a timely manner with fair pricing. Which is why I will never take my vehicles anywhere else as this shop has gained my complete trust and I highly recommend this shop for all of your vehicle needs.

Recommended to me by a trusted mechanic to resolve multiple complicated issues. Addressed and resolved ALL of them. Kept me informed all along the way. Highly recommend! Thanks Thomas!
Brenda Mosier on 03/27/2025
What an amazing locally owned /operated shop. From the moment my car had smoke pouring from my hood -I thought what will I do? Prayed, Checked online reviews and immediately called Garrigan’s. I didn’t even know I had roadside assistance in my auto insurance- but he pointed it out and my insurance towed me there for free. The tow guys were happy to learn there were two Garrigan’s locations now bc they said it’s always been a trustworthy old school shop (simple/honest/reliable-but all the updated auto shop amenities with knowledge/tools/tap to pay from my apple wallet etc) Clean comfortable waiting area. Garrigan’s had my vehicle figured out, parts ordered, and even sent me a link to get outside auto shop financing to help with the cost -which was spot on for the job-and fixed my Hylander right up. Honest, reliable, helpful, kind and quick . A+
Salvador Villanueva on 03/26/2025
I 100% vouch for this shop. Very honest and reliable and extremely customer service orientated. I came in and brought my car which was not in the best of shape and they were very honest with me on the repairs that needed to be Done and at a good price. They were able to prioritize what needed to be fixed first in my vehicle and I left a happy customer today. Thank you guys at Garrigan’s Auto shop. Five star rating.

Great place to get your car fixed or serviced!! Thomas was extremely helpful. My car was inspected and I was given a quote cheaper than other places. My car was fixed in a timely manner and they addressed my concerns. No overpriced items or trying to sell me on things I didn't need done. Will definitely be taking my car here from now on!
Benjamin Vaterlaus on 03/10/2025
Honest and up-front. They are not cut-rate nor shady. They are often also really fast. It's a pleasure working with Thomas and the crew there. Can't recommend them enough.

Fantabulous service and reasonable price. I had my cooling system flushed. They even finished the work much sinner than estimated. I’m so grateful for an honest mechanic! Thomas even told me that I could call him in my travels for any advice I might need on the road. I highly recommend Garrigan's and would visit here again if I’m in the areas

John Pavlik on 01/31/2025
Maybe I'm being picky but leaving my F-150 all day Fri, charged over $600 and released to a truck with the same exact problem I went in for was not such a great deal and to me not a good business practice. I will not be taking any of my vehicles there nor would I recommend this shop. Unless you break down in front or prefer paying double steer clear of this shop.
Gerrit Garretsen on 01/30/2025

Rico Lee on 01/27/2025
update 1/24/25 Went in for a check up and even though got some pretty bad news, there's no denying the transparency and attention to detail these guys have. Service advisor Thomas and Technician Alan were masters of juggling a busy schedule but they make time to make sure you're being attended to and inform you every step of the way. Won't go anywhere else in Tucson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Very happy I found Garrigan's Auto Repair shop on Google and went with my gut because these guys are fantastic. Taylor, the service advisor, was very polite, professional and straight up while not pushing anything unecessary. Very communicative throughout the whole process. Truck is running smoother and happy to pay the very reasonable price for a very much needed peace of mind. Definitely recommend and will be back if anything else needs work. Thanks, guys

Alex Verdugo on 12/04/2024
Customer service is horrendous. They told me to leave because I didn't feel like divulging my martial status. Guess they can't fix a car until they know you have a spouse. I also overheard them telling employees to just get someone else out of the shop no matter what they have to do. Doesn't sound very professional.
Shop Reply
Now I remember you Alex, you know when you came into the lobby today, to deliver my parts as a door dasher, not even a customer, I was wondering where I knew your face from. You previously came in needing work and started cursing in the lobby when we asked if you were married, OR HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO PUT DOWN AS A SECONDARY CONTACT. Idk what your problem is man, or why you feel the need to ruin our shops reputation. But it's okay, we have 100's of 5 star reviews and you very truely are just an angry, sad individual, I'll pray for you man. Thank for the review, again. Merry Christmas. Side note, you have 0 context on what our personal conversation was about, and you are not even close to being correct about it. You don't like us clearly. Why is still a mystery to me cause we only asked for a second contact which you could have politely declined like a normal civilized human being. Again, Merry Christmas to you sir.

Ralph on 11/08/2024
My sister was having problems with her Nissan Titan and Garrigans took it in Thurs morning; diagnosed and confirmed my suspicions with a phone consult ; ordered rare parts from California; replaced all the intake system’ leaking parts and also the MAF sensor with Original brand parts…. ALL, by Friday 5pm !!! Wow I suggest you read the owner’s welcome statement, true to their words. This shop does not take integrity away from working with women customers. My sister said there were several women customers and the store is clean and inviting. I come away from her experience so relieved and convinced that I will bring my vehicles here and spread the message that your hard earned money is spent wisely here. Thank you. Ralph H. Tucson native.
Armando Rodriguez on 11/05/2024
I had a wonderful experience with Garrigans they were up front and prompt with all of my vehicles needs. Thomas is awesome!! Along with his mechanic crew especially Carmine whom work very hard to get my 300c up and running and up to par. I would definitely recommend Garrigans for your vehicle's mechanical needs.

Lilliana Lopez on 11/02/2024
Today was the first time I got my car serviced at Garrigans Auto Repair. My car suddenly wouldn't start, and I only had a vague idea of what might be wrong. I quickly called an auto shop that was open on weekends to help me out before the workweek started, and I needed my car. Garrigans guided me through the entire process step by step. I was unprepared for this situation, and Garrigans was the only place that made things happen. If you ever have car troubles or even need routine maintenance like oil changes, I highly recommend them for their excellent work and service. Thanks again, Garrigans Auto!
Sean Stepleton on 10/31/2024
Garrigan’s has always been very up front and honest with us. Went in for a simple oil change and in overhearing they way they treat other customers, they display a lot of integrity in their business. Highly recommended.
Bradley Bolin on 10/30/2024
Incredible team here. I had a bit of an emergency with my 2017 Subaru. Not only did they get me in and fixed up ASAP, they also helped me with getting a warranty payment from work I had done in New Jersey 6 months prior! These guys are the real deal and I feel confident that they did quality work on my car. Brian was incredibly efficient and Taylor was so friendly and helpful. Check them out if you have a car that needs to be serviced!
Richard Woldorf on 10/28/2024
I made some mistakes on my daughter's truck. A search on Next door I found Garrigans. 5 stars is not a mistake in Tucson. This business deserves it. It's small but very honest. Very hard to be in the automotive field.
Dee Taskila on 10/25/2024
I had issues with the battery connection, was able to make it to Garrigan’s Auto, Taylor took the time to look at my jeep, explained to me what was wrong and completed the work that day! I have taken my jeep there twice now and both time have received outstanding service!!!

mg on 10/14/2024
Garragan’s did a complete inspection of my car which has close to 100,000 mi. The mechanic took pictures of the car inside and out, so you have a visual of work that needs to be done. Taylor is super knowledgeable and clearly explained everything along with the timeline. I only wish I had discovered Garragan’s years ago!
Emilio on 10/14/2024
Great service and prices! Would visit again..
Perry Chesnut on 10/11/2024
The air conditioning in my '98 ranger was out, so I took it to a Ford dealer. They said there was zero coolant. They filled it up and checked it for leaks with dye. They found no leaks, but I should call them if it stops working again. Really? Where did all the coolant go if there is no leak? $256 for essentially, “Don’t know; it’s a mystery to us.” Did my research and found Garrigan’s. The excellent reviews are completely warranted. In the few minutes it took for me to fill out the paperwork, and just before I could leave, Thomas came out to my car and told me they had found the problem. The front seal of the compressor was leaking as were 2 port seals. (how could the dealer not find this?) Thomas called me back later the same day and gave me my choice of 3 solutions. All seemed to be priced fairly. I made my choice, and the air conditioning was totally fixed. Thomas asked me to let him keep my truck overnight so he could “go through everything, to make sure it’s ‘golden’.” To me, this shows how honest and thorough Garrigan’s is. I highly recommend this family-owned garage to anyone who is looking for extremely honest and competent service and repair of their vehicle. You will not be disappointed.

Did my son's brakes, very good job, Thomas, Taylor and the gang do a phenomenal job always... Give them a chance and they will take care of you.... Thanks guys
Laura Dwyer on 10/03/2024
Reliable, Experienced, Honest Not often you hear those three compliments about auto mechanics today. But Thomas's crew have all of these qualities besides being committed to genuinely helping you with your automotive needs. They are not backyard mechanics so they earn the price of their excellent service and will often lose business with good, sound advice rather than take your money inappropriately. Call them, give them as much information as you can, ask questions and you'll be happy with the result.
Jason Conrad on 09/30/2024
Great experience. Honest and affordable. Would recommend and will continue to use.

Sam on 09/30/2024
Took my Duramax here not only because my friend Alan works here, but also due to the amazing reviews from other customers. Thomas and Taylor up front are friendly and great to talk with, and of course Alan had my truck in and out quick. Love how they inspect your vehicle and tell you what else it could need, and what has to be fixed. No pressure, and prices are great. Making this my go-to shop in Tucson for sure!
Pavi Harnesberry on 09/29/2024
This place is an absolute God-send. I was having car troubles that I couldn't figure out, but they diagnosed the issue and solved it over the course of a few days. The cost of repairs was extremely reasonable, and well worth it. Thomas was especially attentive, and made sure I was comfortable and informed for the entire process. I HIGHLY recommend this shop, and will be a returning customer! (well hopefully not anytime soon) The other gentleman, Taylor, gave my toddler a toy car, which I thought was really sweet. Overall, a great place to bring your car.

YOU CAN STOP LOOKING NOW!! If you want an auto repair shop that is: •fast & reliable •honest & trustworthy •affordable •transparent •generous & kind •communicative •convenient Garrigans is the place for you! I always boast about finding hidden gems, and that is what they are. They offer so many amazing things like financing, warranties, and fair pricing. It is truly difficult to handle all of the challenges that come with life, and our vehicles tend to break down at the WORST possible times, but the guys here will take care of you, and turn a stressful situation into a stress-free and easy process. I came here due to the convenience, and I continue to come for the reasons listed above. Not only can they complete repairs in a timely, thorough, and efficient manner, but they are great for vehicle maintenence as well (oil changes, tire rotations, etc). Garrigan's is now my one-stop-shop for all things car, and I absolutely reccomend their services. If you are the kind of person that does their own repairs, then you can rely on their thorough inspection to guide you in the process. They have always given me the information I need to do it on my own, but because of that trust, I always end up having them do the repairs! I have a great time sitting in their comfortable waiting area, where I can work on the things I need to while I wait for my vehicle. They will work with you in whatever way you may need, and make the entire process very simple. I can honestly say that this is the BEST auto repair shop in Tucson!

Garrigans went above and beyond with working on vehicle. My engine needed to be replaced, they provided options and completed the work before the estimated time. I felt prioritized and well cared for from the transparency in communication and the understanding from the shop. Truly helped out single mom who relies heavily on her car. Will be coming back for maintenance and repairs in the future.

Jordan Kerr on 09/06/2024
These guys are awesome! My car broke down and they were able to look into the concerns as to what I thought it was and fixed the issue and still double checked. They even informed me of on of my tires needing to be replaced even when it was no where near what need to be fixed, but I was so grateful for that and was able to also get my tire changed. Taylor was so nice and friendly and made great conversation even with me being stressed. You guys are amazing!
Aidan Cefaloni on 09/05/2024
They were completely honest about price and the that they suspected needed to be done. I have used their services several times. One time I came in for a job that I thought needed to get done and they told me that I really was ok and it saved me several hundred dollars. They were great about communication, including setbacks on their part and were accommodating when I had to leave my truck at their shop while I had to leave the country. Great place to go!
Emily Bissell on 09/04/2024
New-ish to Tucson and knew there was some major issues with my 2001 Camry. Taylor & his crew diagnosed the issues within 30 minutes. It was going to be a big job but they were so helpful in guiding me in the right direction. They were so knowledgeable and kind—I can tell how much they care about their business and the people they serve. I got my car back in two days and they even worked with me on the price. Thanks again Garrigan’s!
Alissha Wilson on 09/04/2024
Oh my gosh! I can not say enough about them. I was a basket case. Single mom with two kids, our car is important of course, every day life. They worked so hard on getting my car back to me, fast and efficiently. I am so grateful! THANK YOU all so much!
J Dryer on 09/03/2024
I recently bought a used van from a dealership, and Garrigans performed a full inspection to check for any issues, minor or major. Thankfully there were no major issues, but Garrigans was very thorough in their inspection. I have greater peace of mind with my purchase knowing that Garrigans checked it out! Also, I usually work with Thomas, who's amazing, and always takes exceptional care of my vehicle. He's very trustworthy and always works hard to make sure customer's needs are taken care of. Thomas was out recently, and he briefed Taylor on my situation, which was so helpful. Taylor was there to support me through the car buying process and inspection. Garrigans has my loyalty because they've earned it with consistently awesome service.

Thank you Shanara, I was also very blessed to meet your acquaintance. One day we will all have to account for our actions and at Garrigan's, we try to live up to that scrutiny.

an oil change, just an oil change...no upcharges, no aggressive sales pitching, in and out in 40 minutes and left with a full undercarriage diagnostic done visually and by touch . All in plain speech from a genuine mechanic. I will be going back there for repairs and service.
Robin Alvarez on 08/19/2024
This shop has worked on 2 of my vehicles. They are very profession, kind and do what they say they are going to. They are not afraid to go the extra mile, to help save you money. Taylor and Tomas are great guys and really work hard to give the best service. I highly recommend

Strikercris on 08/04/2024
I took in my Kia soul because it was blowing out hot air and was immediately greeted by Taylor, he listened to my concerns and offered to check my ac for free. Taylor said give me a couple of hours and I’ll have a diagnosis for you and if anything we’ll charge it up for you. After about 3 hours Taylor gave me a call and explained they had taken out all the old refrigerant and recharged it up and drove the car a couple of times with the ac running and it never cut out or went hot, long story short the ac is blowing cold air and it had been repaired. I thank Taylor and his staff for their awesome service and professionalism and thoroughly recommend them for all your auto repair needs.
meranda james on 07/25/2024
I dropped my car for axel repairs and new back breaks and rotors. They got my car back to me the next day. I had this done on another car at another shop and they kept my car four almost five days so it was a huge relief they finished so quickly. They also noticed my studs on my tires were striped and were able to help arrange for that to be fixed and the shop who did it held accountable. I felt very comfortable with them and would for sure take my car back.
Keena Cardenas on 07/20/2024
I would give them a 10+. Every time I take my vehicle's there the diagnosis is spot on. And reasonably priced. Ty

Came in off the street and was assisted with a quick fix AC problem that another store had said would take a week to even look at.
V. R. on 07/12/2024
They took extra care in finding out what was wrong with my vehicle and fixed the problem, making sure it was safe to drive. I like that they do not push you to do unnecessary or untimely repairs. They will inform you of any issues that you have with your vehicle that may need to be addressed at a future date when they become necessary.

Michael McRae on 06/23/2024
I do all my own work on my cars. However, I needed my AC system in my Jeep to be fixed as Arizona summers set in. I called them up and they got me in quick and were able to locate the problem and it was fixed as part of their normal AC service. Their rate for fixing AC was lower than other chain stores. Customer service was great! I would take my cars here again.

Awesome reliable honest fairly priced business. Brake Max tried to swindle me into replacing my ac compressor for $2500. Turned out only the valve needed replacement, got it done within days, total cost $630! I’m a very happy customer. Thanks again for your professionalism.

Nice and clean shop.Thomas and his brother are good people. He helped me out with my Ford f150. I will be going back .
Christina Woodson on 05/29/2024
I absolutely love the service I get at Garrigan’s. My family worked in the service industry growing up, and I respect when someone is upfront and honest about the work your car may need. When I moved to Tucson, I was 7 months pregnant, and my A/C broke in my Accord. Thomas helped me, and I was taking a big step in finding a new service shop at the time. He helped me out tremendously, didn’t over charge for parts, labor, or anything that didn’t need fixing. My second time recently, Taylor was able to help me out. Same thing, full inspection, full transparency about what would need work. I love my Accord, and I really want it to last. With the service I get on the car at Garrigan’s, I know what to save up for and what issues will need addressing soon enough. She runs like a dream after 19 years, and I’ll continue going here until the car just won’t work anymore. I’m glad I stopped in to Garrigan’s to fix my A/C. It’s special to have reliability in the service I will be getting.

Had a great experience at Garrigan's Auto Repair Shop. They were able to work on my truck in a timely manner, even with how busy they are. They updated me periodically on the status of my truck and made sure to follow up a couple days after I picked it up just to make sure everything was still working properly. The pricing was fair and they gave me a military discount, which I wasn't expecting but was very much appreciated. Will definitely be going to them again in the future any time I need work done.

I cannot recommend Garrigan's Auto Repair Shop enough! From start to finish, they provided exceptional service. Their team consistently went above and beyond to ensure my car was well-maintained and safe on the road. What truly sets Garrigan's apart is their outstanding communication. They kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the repairs needed and providing updates promptly. It was evident that they genuinely cared about my satisfaction and the well-being of my vehicle. Moreover, their pricing is incredibly reasonable, especially considering the quality of their work. I never felt like I was being overcharged, and they were transparent about all costs involved. Overall, my experience with Garrigan's Auto Repair Shop was outstanding. They have earned my trust and loyalty, and I will definitely be returning for all my future automotive needs.

Garrigans is the best automotive repair shop in Tucson. Myself, my husband, and even our kid, we take all of our vehicles to them and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else.

They will never charge you for things that don’t need to be done and they’re very fair with their pricing.

I’ve been getting my 2017 Ford F-150 XLT serviced at Garrigan’s for over a year. I needed the works the first time in(full tune up). The shop manager Thomas was amazing. He was honest, told me what to expect, and didn’t try to sale unnecessary items. Since then my entire family has taken their vehicles to Garrigan’s. I don’t know all the technicians names but we’ve got to know “Alan”(,technician), “Tayler” (technician). All the technicians are fantastic. They are highly trained, experienced and most importantly to me and my family FAIR. Genuinely people you can trust.
Tekyla Miller on 01/13/2024
I came in due to my car shaking, I was quoted a $800 job and got it for $100 and something less. And was done within 2 hours. They are really affordable and worked with me with pricing and answered all my questions with no hesitation.
Michael Mulligan on 01/02/2024
We have been taking my wife's car to Garrigan's for over a year now, and I will tell you we won't go anywhere else. These guys are knowledgeable and honest. They treat my wife like a customer and not like a.... well, you know what I'm talking about, ladies. I have no worries when she takes the car in on her own. They explain everything that needs to be done and stand behind their quotes. No extra work is ever done without authorization, and they never pressure you to pay for repairs. I'm wanting to add a new exhaust to my Dodge Challenger, so I will be discussing this with them soon. We will go back again and again and will refer Garrigan's to everyone we know. You won't go wrong taking your vehicle to these guys. Their good people!!!

Went in with the check engine light on. I knew it needed a new thermostat, but had them check anyways. They confirmed that, and was able to do the work today, due to someone canceling. Excellant job, fast service. If you want honest, and professional work done, you must come here. I already have an appointment to have other service performed that I requested. No hard sell on their part.

Sarah Soledad on 10/21/2023
We are moving on military orders from California to Florida and the AC compressor system in my car went out about 50 miles into Arizona. Garrigan’s was the only place willing to squeeze us in so that we could still make it to Florida on time. They fixed it within a few hours and were extremely kind and personable. We’re so grateful we found them and would give them more than 5 stars if it was possible.
Rebecca Rosane on 10/15/2023
I wish I could leave 0 stars for this place and I'm contemplating contacting the BBB. This repair shop worked on my Nissan Juke. They kept my car for 5 months and "supposedly" installed 4 different transmissions in my car trying to get it right. The first 2 weren't even ordered correctly, the second 2 were not installed correctly, and at one point in figuring all this out, my car was dropped off a tow truck while Garrigan's was sending it to be calibrated. They then told me the damage incurred was my problem. After going around and around I finally decided to no longer allow this shop to work on my car. Now that I have had my car reevaluated by another shop, I am told there is now over TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK AND DAMAGE TO MY CAR FOR WHAT GARRIGAN'S DID TO IT. Do NOT allow this shop to service your car if you value your vehicle. As the shop has replied I will have it known my vehicle did NOT leave the shop "better than they got it" and hasn't been a usable vehicle for me since it left their shop. Because yes after 4 or 5 transmissions they installed incorrectly it now has 10k in damage and is not even worth being a vehicle anymore but good try Garrigan's!
Shop Reply
Sometimes… I wish we could give 1 star reviews to customers… lol RO# 25730 / 2016 Nissan Juke S Ricardo, Rebecca Rosane’s boyfriend who is borrowing her the car, brought in the Juke on a tow truck not driving. We diagnosed a failed transaxle and that is where the frustration started. This vehicle has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that was riddled with issues and a high failure rate on all Nissan vehicles with that transaxle. Because this particular CVT transaxle has such a high failure rate and we were deep into summer when those transaxles failed the most, there were no rebuilds to be found. During the initial check of the vehicle we also noticed there were some suspension issues as well. The customer opted not to repair the suspension items because they were on a budget. We checked with our transmission shop and they will not rebuild that particular transaxle because of Nissans chronic internal issues and we could not find any other transmission shops we trusted who would either. At this point our only option, and Ricardo agreed to, was to try and source a used replacement. After waiting for and installing the first used transaxle we sent the Juke over to Nissan to have the used transaxle reprogrammed and unfortunately the transaxle had a Judder codes for internal failure. So we had the wrecking yard source a second transaxle that we had to wait for and warranted that transaxle for a second one. We sent the Juke back to Nissan and reprogrammed it a second time, and that was when the tow truck driver did not secure the car properly and they did damage the vehicle's body a little on the way back from Nissan. The tow company paid for the body repair and paint on a very sun damaged vehicle and the Juke actually left Garrigan’s looking better than it came in. The second used transaxle unfortunately also had the internal failure Judder code, but it was driving and shifting. We had the wrecking yard find us a third transaxle, but Ricardo (Rebecca) needed the car back and thought it was good enough and agreed to waive any liability because we all knew it was not ready to leave. The original bill was $5336.16 and it was reduced to $4441.01 to help ease the pain because of the tow truck failure. Ricardo seemed understanding that we were doing the best anyone could with the circumstances we were in and the vehicle was driving and shifting even with the Jugger code. I think Ricardo liked Rebecca when it came to negotiating, because Rebecca was not a reasonable person and was very loud and hard to talk to. We eventually let the vehicle go with only the $2500 deposit that was put down and Garrigan’s absorbed the remaining original balance of $2,836.16. We had the Juke approximately 7 weeks for sourcing two transaxles, installations and the body work that was done. Most of that time was waiting for the wrecking yards to source the transaxles and a couple weeks for the body shop to correct the tow companies mistake. That was the last time we saw that vehicle and, until this horrible review, we believed it was over. We are confident Garrigan’s did the absolute best and went way beyond what we would be expected to do, ultimately costing Garrigan’s over $2,836.16 on a vehicle we did not buy, break or wear out. It has been long enough since the vehicle was here last and we could easily secure a rebuilt transmission now, and that repair would cost around $8000 or so to do.
Samantha Bay on 10/06/2023
Thomas had me back on the road within a week after suspected pack rat damage. My car is also up there in mileage, and he was able to let me know what to expect in the future in terms of repairs, which I appreciated. I'll definetly be back. P.s.- Thanks for dealing with my crazy parents
Amy Molano on 09/28/2023
I don't even know where to begin. I have been in about 5 times for an A/C repair. Originally I was told that the fan was seizing. They've swapped the fan 3, maybe 4 times now (I lost count) and my A/C still isnt working! I was told they did diagnostics and nothing was wrong. Each time I brought the vehicle back it worked for a day maybe 2 and was out again. I can't travel because the car could overheat and I've had to cancel numerous family outings, including my mom's birthday over the last 6 weeks this has been going on. Each time they've worked on it they've done the SAME repair and each time it's failed to resolve. At some point you'd think that's not the fix it's something else but they haven't given it the time. Now I'm being told they can't get me in for a week or longer because they have other vehicles. We live in AZ and are still experiencing triple digit heat almost in October. I wouldn't waste my time here anymore except I'm a grand in on this. I had to turn down a job offer because I need air conditioning in my car and I can no longer provide that. This is absurd.
Shop Reply
I am not at the shop, but I have been talking with Thomas about how weird your circumstance is and the hardest part about this diagnostic is that the failure takes about a week of normal driving before it fails again. Every time you bring in the jeep, the cooling fan is inoperative. We have power and ground with the fan commanded on with the scanner. We warrantied the fan, put the new one on and it works fine again on low and on high. You take the car and a week later you are coming back understandably upset, gracious, but upset. As for not taking you back in, that was a miscommunication. I just chatted with Thomas and he concurred that we are really busy, but he has no problem bringing you in, but we would like to keep your vehicle for a week "at least" and drive it as much as we can before giving it back to you so we will know that we resolved this problem once and for all. Another dynamic is that you are on a very lean budget, which we get, but auto parts are expensive like everything else. I know it is really hard to understand that life just is not perfect and that a shop like ours really tries to do its best and tries its best to save the customer money if we can. Trying to work with busy customers is not easy when we are put into a bind for time on such a difficult diagnostic. Amy, I went over the bill and Thomas told me what he had to do for you after we finally got your problem figured out and I was shocked at what you were charged on a vehicle we did not own or damage. I hope you are thanking Jesus for how Thomas took care of you. Rick Garrigan

Garrigan’ Auto Repair is a professional auto repair shop with excellent customer service and reasonable pricing. They went out of their way to fix the AC sensor on my 2019 Cadillac XT5 and worked around my schedule to accomplish the repairs. I’ll definitely use them again and have recommended them to many my friends, family and coworkers.

Hadder Rendon on 08/07/2023
Garrigan's is fantastic. Thomas kept me informed every step of the way about how the repair was going. He has the best communication from any repair shop I've been to. I am very satisfied with their work and will definitely use them again. The prices were also very fair and speed of work was great. It's hard to find a great shop nowadays, so I'm glad I found this one.
Christine C on 08/05/2023
I am so thrilled to have found a local auto repair shop that I can trust. I called because I could hear that my brakes were going and even though the shop was swamped, they squeezed me in and caught some other issues. Not only that, the customer service was phenomenal! I was so impressed with the positive, down-to-earth, and friendly atmosphere that I didn't mind waiting for the work to be completed. Highly recommend!!!!
Zachary Flowers on 08/04/2023
I needed to get a leak checked and was down to only one car. I called in and they opened up a spot for me next day and fixed it right then. It was a pretty extensive job and they price was really reasonable. They also have a military discount. 5 out of 5 would recommend to anyone.
Katey Swenson on 08/03/2023
The communication was very clear. The after hours drop off was so convenient. The work and parts were warrantied. My AC is now blowing super cold even in hot temperatures! They took time to answer all my questions and were super friendly.
Gimme Noodles81 on 08/02/2023
This review is long overdue but these guys are great! They're the only shop I trust to take my car to. Always friendly and knowledgeable. Super fast workers, great rates and they don't try to weasel more money out of you. They even wrote me an "excuse note" for my boss when I couldn't drive my car so I wouldn't get written up at work. I always recommend them when somebody needs auto repairs. Thomas and his staff are amazing and I will continue to do business with them even if it's something as simple as an oil change. Keep up the good work guys!
Alex Verdugo on 08/02/2023
I tried to get my ac checked and was asked questions about my personal life, like if I'm married or not. What the hell does that have to do with their ability to service my vehicle? That's the type of information they don't need.
Shop Reply
SIGH… This review is obviously not necessary to most people who will view it, however I will take the time to explain the situation for anyone who might be confused, or troubled by us asking for a spouse, family member or other contact phone number information. It's always good to have more than one contact phone number for every vehicle, just in case we need to get a hold of someone to continue repairs or to let them know the vehicle is ready for pick up. A secondary contact is USUALLY a spouse or family member... Needing some air conditioning work done, Alex came into the shop visibly upset and frustrated from the very start which is a little understandable being 106 degrees outside, however, Alex immediately responded loudly with curse words in front of two other customers in the waiting room. Alex was unreasonably rude, and I was unable to quell the situation with any type of respect coming from Alex. After that, he was very politely asked to leave and take his car somewhere else for repair as his disrespect and vulgar language is not and never will be welcome here at Garrigan's.

Great shop. Made an appointment to get my A/C checked on my 2011 Ram 1500 since it was not becoming cool after another shop charged my system 3 months ago. Thomas got my vehicle immediately and diagnosed the issue. Re-charged the A/C system and replaced the charging ports in less than two hours. Great shop! Will be coming back even though I live 30 minutes away.

Excellent service and very honest people to work with. Thomas was very welcoming and I can tell he really cares about his customers more than what the money brings to the table. Very understanding and selfless. His mechanics as well are very knowledgeable of what they do. I highly recommend this shop for anyone who not only wants to save money but also who they can trust to get their car serviced. Thank you Thomas and your team for all the hard work to get my car working again.

I am super impressed with the service I received from Garrigan's Automotive!! That excellent service started when a gentleman by the name of Thomas answered the phone. He was extremely nice, polite, and very knowledgeable, which in turn gave me the Comfort to schedule maintenance that I needed done on my vehicle. There was an added pleasant surprise when I walked in to the service station on the day of my appointment and to be honest it did not look like a mechanic shop!! The office they had was very clean and actually very welcoming. I got to meet Thomas and the work was completed in a very timely manner. I want to thank you for all the kindness and professionalism. I would highly recommend Garrigan's Automotive!! This is definitely going to be the only place I take my vehicle from now on.

Excellent service and honest staff! I called them one Saturday to replace my lower control arm and bushing on my van. Thomas told me to bring it in that morning. Plans changed and my stepfather DIY instead. I called again the following week on a Tuesday, Thomas answered and remembered me calling me few days ago. I came in for timing belt, transmission flush, coolant flush, etc. Phillip did his inspection and found the timing belt has a sticker completed 3yrs ago. Needless to say, he just saved me some $$$. I’m very impressed with their customer service, integrity, quality of work, and being available on a Saturday. They have my strongest personal recommendation!

Tried to charge me $500 to replace a tail light assembly that literally only has two screws.
Shop Reply
Hey David, First I want to say I am sorry for that impression of an expensive easy repair. You are correct, the labor to put that tail light assembly on was less than $50, but the factory part that was quoted was very expensive. When you came in, I was very busy and you walked in and out of the lobby so many times I really did not get a chance to talk to you in a personal way like I do with most of my customers and I was not able to talk to you about cheaper options, like I normally do with my customers. With the body damage your vehicle experienced, it really needed to go to the body shop I was recommending or any body shop you trusted, which I assumed you went to when you left. I really hope you can find it in your heart to give us a better review than a 1 star. We really are a good shop and a bad review for such an non-normal and awkward experience for both of us just doesn’t represent Garrigan’s Auto Repair Shop’s true values. Sincerely, Thomas Guarino Service Manager/Writer
cory konold on 02/09/2023
Showed up to get some basic work done to my car a simple alignment before I even had the chance to tell the man helping me what I needed he looked at me and said I don't work on those kinds of cars and told me I had to go somewhere else. I had worked in a dealership and as far as I know any professional place should at least hear you out. To actually know what they're saying no to.
Shop Reply
Thank you for the review Cory, this is very strange and concerning to hear. I am the shops only service adviser and I do not recall ever turning down an alignment. I would really appreciate a call on this matter so we can get to the bottom of this. Perhaps this is a mistake and you have the wrong shop? Please give me a call at 520-572-7505 so I can resolve this matter and hopefully you can leave a review for us that actually shows what we are all about here at Garrigan's.

Thomas was an incredibly helpful guy. Super honest and wants the best for his customers. He gave me a few prices to work with and I can tell he is very selfless and cares for his customers. Had an expensive issue with my car but had it back by the end of the day ready to go. Definitely trust these guys with my car. Highly recommend Garrigan’s

I won't take my vehicles anywhere else. Thomas and team are honest and fairly priced. We found them several years ago because we needed someone who could service and maintain all of our cars. Garrigan's is up to the challenge. We have 2 teenage daughters who we trust this team to keep safely on the road along with our other vehicles. You might also check out their SureCritic reviews. These come from people like me who have a verified invoice paid/posted. After service, I get a call asking about my experience and have the opportunity to give feedback (good or bad). These are great if you're looking for honest reviews from people who've actually used a business rather than random people who post THEIR thoughts.

I have a hard time even responding to a review like this. Very strange review. Mr. Alvarado has not graced our business for any services as far as I can tell. If he did, then I am sure his experience would have been a good one or at least we would have had a chance to make his experience right. I think the only thing I can do for Mr. Alvarado is to wish him and his family a Merry Christ-mas and a blessed 2023.

On our trip to San Diego during a Saturday morning, a sensor went out on our vehicle. After being turned away by another shop, found Garrison’s by google search. With every stall containing a vehicle, he still made time to replace our part. Had us back on the road by lunchtime. He saved our trip. I highly recommend.

I called Garrigans after my jeep kept dying. Thomas made a point to get me in to diagnose my jeep even though they were super busy. He also gave me the number to a towing company, Five Star Towing, which are great also! Very personable and obviously care about they’re costumers, they all went way out of they’re busy day to take care of me. He even text me to make sure my jeep got me home that night. I’ll definitely be using them again and would recommend them to others!

Everyone here is honest, hard-working and very respectful. I’m going to edit this to add a new experience I just had. I had to get the computer in my 2016 Kia Forte Koup replaced due to a fried circuit. The entire time they had my car, they kept me updated with everything they needed to do. They kept me in the most reasonable price range they possibly could, had AMAZING communication and did everything in their power to get my car running again. When I got my car back today, it ran better than it did when I bought it a year ago. There were some hiccups in the repair process (that were absolutely out of the shop’s control) and they didn’t hesitate to call me when said hiccup occurred. I usually do my own repairs, but I trust them with every single repair I may need.

Thomas is always very direct and to the point. I've never felt he's pressured me into unnecessary repairs, and he is willing to explain what issues may come up if you choose not to go through with a repair. They generally inspect the vehicle in it's entirety when you come in for an oil change, and give you an estimate on anything you may need to be replaced, or repaired. They always present multiple options, and will walk you through the pros and cons. Make sure you ask Thomas about body repair, because he hates it, tell him Austin with an 05 corolla sent you

As a female, I always feel like I might get taken advantage of, when it comes to mechanics, but I feel Thomas and his crew have been honest with me as well as other women I saw go there for services. Their honest will win my loyalty. I just had out A/C replaced in our 2002 truck. Going back to them this weekend for other services we have put off.

Wayne Kennison on 06/16/2022
So here we are down from the great northwest. With the coldest wettest April since 2011 in the Seattle/ Tacoma area……air conditioning??? Not so much. But Tucson……. Tuk son !!! It’s hot! hot! hot! and driving around in our little towable with the AC not working…….as the out of towners not even climatized…… not a lot of fun. I perused the online stuff looking for what I thought might be a shop that could take care of us in a timely manner and found Garrigans. The reviews looked good and it seemed as though they didn’t just do auto ac as a “ change your oil and … oh ya we’ll look at your AC too “ So I thought if they’re half as good as these other people say they are I’ll be happy. Now here is the ironic part. I actually own a heating and air conditioning company. Oh great huh? Well with no tools and a little knowledge I thought “ I’ll grab a recharge kit in case it’s just a little low and I might be able to easily top it off”. Ha ha ha no chance. So I’m thinking this is going to be tied up for sometime and I’ll probably end up renting a car for the day at least. I called Garrigans when they first opened. Thomas answered the phone right away ( a good sign, instead some message saying “ please listen carefully as our menu has changed “ 😡 After a little explanation of my situation Thomas said “ just bring it in and we’ll have a look at it” 😊 I got there, they took it in , jumped on it right away, fixed a couple of leaks, evacuated, tested and charge the system in a couple of hours and we were curzing cool in sunny Tucson thanks to Thomas and his amazing crew. And it didn’t cost like a trip to Hawaii 😎 Garrigans is the go to guys !

Lance Wells on 04/21/2022
I called to verify an estimate for a repair that had been diagnosed elsewhere. I talked to Tom. Even though it was clear that another shop was already checking out my vehicle, he took the time to look up the parts and labor and didn't try to pressure me into choosing his shop over the other guys. To me, that's a good sign that someone's taking the long view rather than just trying to make a quick buck. I would consider going to Garrigan's in the future because of this experience.

Hey Thomas, I was in Carrigan's Auto Repair Shop in the early fall of 2021 with a perplexing problem with the AC system on my 2003 Honda Element. Without missing a beat, your shop (the owner personally) worked on my AC system and solved the issue. I want to thank you and your shop sincerely for such excellent attention to my auto's problem and for communicating to me clearly years of mechanical experience in a way that significantly helped me decide how to best solve my AC problem. It is a rare quality to have such powerful personal and work ethics combined, making my experience at Carrigan's nothing less than stellar. Today, my Element's AC continues to work flawlessly and with great reliability. I've had ZERO problems. Bravo! Dan

This was my 1st visit to Garrigan's for a 60K maintenance check on my Honda Pilot. There were no surprises in the maintenance needed. They did find a big ole' pack rat nest that did cost extra, but not very much considering the consequences of rats!

I went to Garrigan's because it was right across the street. They have always gotten the work done quickly and try to save me money when they can.

I did go to them, after 7 hours of them doing 2 diagnostics, tearing apart my air conditioner, my aur conditioner still didn’t work.,It was suggested I come back a 3rd day to see if it was a wiring problem.,The first 2 days was a total of 7 hours that I waited in their lobby while they worked on my car. I didn’t go back the 3rd day. I had already paid the shop $381.00. As a result, I had to get a loan to help pay my other bills, and still to this day I don’t have a working air conditioner in my car.
Shop Reply
Thank you for your feedback Mary. We understand the frustration, especially having a child that needed to be transported daily in a vehicle with no air conditioning. As you said, we did spend almost 8 hours over two days going through diagnostic procedures to understand what your a/c problem was. Some diagnoses are easy and some are a little more difficult and time consuming, but nailing down a problem is imperative to ensure the repair will be the least expensive to correct the problem correctly. It does make diagnostics harder when we have a vehicle torn apart, knowing the customer is waiting in the waiting room and like you, we really wanted you to leave happy and satisfied. Unfortunately the first day we were still chasing the problem, then had to put the vehicle back together for you to leave. The next day we took it back apart to continue where we left off and got closer to the problem (all while trying to take care of other good customers like yourself also), then put the vehicle back together for you to take the vehicle again. We were pretty confident that the necessary repair would have been performed the 3rd day if you would have returned. You need to know Mary, our objective is to fix vehicles with the least cost to the customer and not to take money from struggling people... that doesn’t do the customer or our business any good. We hope you have gotten your vehicle fixed by this time, if not, we are more than happy to continue where we left off.
