The Scottsdale CarLife shop stood behind their "We are Awesome" motto.

Friday, late afternoon and I'm on my way to my home in Payson. I hear a clunking sound in my wheel and quickly looked for a repair shop nearby with good reviews. CarLife was it and I'm so thankful for their professionalism!

Justin took the initiative and offered one of his busy mechanics to test drive and diagnose the problem. It was something that needed attention, but I was able to drive it with caution. I did drive home and had it properly repaired on Sunday near my home.

Without the honest diagnosis, I would have incurred the inconvenience and expense of a weekend of lodging (and no car). I feel completely confident in the quality and customer service of this CarLife shop and wouldn't hesitate to utilize them for any service.

Thank you!
I do a lot of work on my own vehicles, which makes it hard to find a shop that I feel confident and comfortable leaving my vehicles with. The team at CarLife Scottsdale made me confident in their work and kept me informed with photos of everything they found along the way. Their prices are very fair and I will definitely be back whenever I need any help with my vehicles in the future.

I can’t speak to the car service itself but the people at CarLife Scottsdale are incredibly honest and kind—they looked at my car, determined that it wasn’t worth ordering an incredibly expensive part and figured out a solution that was essentially free. They basically made my day and I am incredibly grateful.

Judy

CarLife is above and beyond your average mechanic/auto shop. They're attention to detail and genuine caring nature make them my car people for life. Elsie goes out of her way to take care of her people.

We've taken our cars in for routine maintenance and the "stop light" report they share is incredible. We also just had our wheels and tires stolen from our car and in less than 24 hrs she had new ones for us AND sent her guys to our home to install. Incredible business, incredible humans.... don't take your care anywhere else!

Kaitlyn

Once the estimate was finalized the work was completed surprisingly fast. I didn't even have time to pick up the rental. The prices were very reasonable and they worked with my warranty company. I'm a big fan and will take my car back whenever needed.

Sharon

CarLife saved the day as my passenger side window regulator went out and we had rain coming that week. I called Elsie and she connected me with Casi & the Gilbert team and they had my window back in place the very next day. This is my second time using CarLife and they are the most efficient and thorough auto service center I have experienced here in Phoenix. Thank you again CarLife!

Sean

Fast, friendly & professional. I had two separate issues a week apart. Both times they took my car in without an appointment, did the assessment and work that same day. Priced about where I figured it would be, so no surprises. Two experiences, two thumbs up.

Stephen

This is an excellent place to take your vehicle. The owner is very knowledgeable and likable. The staff is top notch and are the type of people you can trust your vehicle to.

David

I had the best experience here at CarLife. I know it can be super uneasy walking into an auto shop not knowing what to expect, these were the shoes I was in but was quickly reassured everything would be okay and I was in good hands. Casi, Geoff, and the entire staff were so welcoming and made this whole process so smooth for me. Thank you all.

Sarah

The whole staff at Car Life goes above and beyond to help with knowledge and works within your budget. Have been back several times already for preventative maintenance.
