Pete's

Pete is AWESOME, I won't allow anyone else to touch my car. They are HONEST, reasonably priced, and timely. A big thank you to Pete's Automotive for keeping me on the road ;)

I left Pasadena at 8 AM and soon noticed that it was getting hot in my 2017 Cadillac XT5, by the time I got to Palm Springs I knew I wouldn't make it to Tucson. After Googling repair locations and chatting with a couple of shops that could not work on my car due to the new Freon requirements, I was referred to Pete. He said he was very busy but if I brought it in after lunch he would look at it. I was there at 12:15, he put the car in the bay and soon came back with a diagnosis. The thermostat was not working so the engine would not heat up sufficiently to operate the A/C and other components. It soon became apparent that he was not going to get the job done that day. His partner/wife, Letty, recommended a hotel and took us there. They stayed in touch the next day and we got the car back that afternoon. It wasn't cheap but he got us back on the road. Now, I've read some of the complaints by others and I have to say that if I was a local customer and had an appointment but Pete bumped me for a traveler, I might be disappointed, but he did what he thought was right and I applaud him.

Great service! Our RV broke down and was towed to Pete's Automotive. He was backed up with work, but he knew we were stranded, so his team made an assessment within hours. The RV had MAJOR engine problems due to overheating. We decided to sell it rather than fix it due to the age (1991 model) of the RV and the cost to repair it. We kept the RV in his secure area for a few days, while we worked on selling it. His entire staff, which includes his wife and son, were very helpful and professional during the entire process. Again, GREAT service!

The auto mechanic business is very real. Most of what they charge is the labor, $50 of parts can take $750 in labor. What you're paying for is expertise and care. At Pete's automotive you're getting the best for the best deal. You're gonna need someone who can get the job done right so you can get more out of your vehicle. I know they do a lot of work on classic cars and RVs. I also bought a car I was considering purchasing and they evaluated it potentially saving me thousands. I'll always go back and I hope Pete is around many years into the future

Pete and his team are the absolute best! The service on my motorhome was excellent! Honest, trustworthy, and straightforward. The repairs were well explained and well executed as per estimate. This company is a treat to deal with! I just wish I could kidnap all of them back to Canada. Thanks, Pete..!

The Best! Pete, Letty and their team are awesome! Amazing customer service, great communication in keeping you up-to-date on your vehicle, and very reasonable pricing. They were awesome in tracking down a carburetor issue with my '87 Suzuki Samurai. People you'd want to go out and have a beer with and you'd have a great time.

As the Desert Computer Tutor and Gadget Queen, I make house calls and cannot work without my car, so I love the fact that Pete's is open Saturday mornings and has shuttle service. Last Saturday morning I went in to get a smog check for my vehicle registration and they put a rush on it so I could make it to my Yoga class on time. It was only $70 and they uploaded the info to the DMV so it was all taken care of when I did my registration on line that afternoon. I Pete from a business networking group and everyone there raves about his service. I get all my service and repairs done there. I completely trust Pete and all his staff. They really listen to your concerns and do everything they can to save you money without compromising quality. One time they found a door replacement handle at an after-market source and it was even already painted. Saved me about $100. I also love the computerized reminder messages about upcoming maintenance requirements and the follow up emails that ask for feedback on the service. This shows Pete's commitment to providing quality service and taking good care of his customers. I feel like he treats me and my car as if I were a member of his family. I love to refer people to him. He and his staff are the best!

One of our drivers from Canada had one single bolt loose for his hitch ball these guys charged us $60 to tighten it which takes 5 seconds. We have stopped in at numerous shops in Canada and everyone’s always helped out with little things. Insane!!

Was referred over by AutoZone. Said they were the most reasonably priced shop. Daytime running lights were burnt out. Said they would have to scan electrical and it would cost 239.00. and that wouldn't be reduced or absorbed if I had them replace the lights Or fix it. Then the gentleman at the first desk then proceeded to tell me they were the most expensive shop in the valley. Either he wanted me to go away or they were too busy to deal with replacing my lights. Went to the dealership and Honda did everything including scan for much less than Pete's Auto scan. Such a turn off. Would not recommend them to anyone.

They used to be great Now too busy and poor attitude My car was there for 2 days and no work was done at all. He said he would get it up yesterday and call me in afternoon I dropped in today Car is parked in back He has a lot of excuses..used to be 9 staff now 7. I made my appointment 3 weeks ago. He told me to take it elsewhere if I wasn’t happy. He used to be so good but now too busy and seems to care less. I hear Lou’s auto body on Perez is good. Bye Pete Sorry you changed so much
