What Our Customers Are Saying

They are fair when it comes to cost. They are good at trouble shooting and resolve problems good. I had to take my vehicle back to them when my problem wasn't what was diagnosed and they made it right with me and my car. I'm giving a 4 because I had to go back. I have lived in the valley for 20+ years and although I have tried some others, I keep returning to Phil's with my more difficult problems.
THEY ALWAYS GO THE EXTRA MILE TO GIVE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
-Robert
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT-SMOG Instead of just replacing the parts the computer codes diagnosed, like the places I've taken my car, they actually looked and found a small wiring problem and fixed it. This cost me 1/3 of what I have already spent in unneeded parts to get the check engine light out. I highly recommend this Auto shop.
-Linda
The staff at Phil's is great! Pricing is fair and the work excellent.
-Mike/Maire
Trust is extremely important to me. Knowing that my mechanic is honest and takes pride in their workmanship. The recent repairs to my truck and VW diesel were first rate (5 stars).
-Garey
CLEAN, wonderful auto repair shop ... always considerate, ready to answer questions ... helpful, even to us women!
-Kit
I must say that I found one of the best Auto Repair shop since I have been in California since 1980s. An excellent professionalism and conscientious about you work. I feel confident when I refer my friends to Phil Auto Clinic.
-Oscar
I LOVE this staff! They treat me like family and keep my little 2000 Echo running like a top! They are honest and fair which I greatly appreciate!

Except for when a lug nut was left off the Lexus, I have little to complain about. The level of service keeps me coming back.
-James
Phil's auto clinic, service and staff...OUTSTANDING!!!! Thank you & Happy Holidays

Phil's Auto is always great. User friendly, fast, competent, and reasonably priced. I even take my new Ford here....because they are faster, smarter and cheaper......they never screw up like the dealership.
-Robert
An honest mistake was rectified by PAC with no questions asked, which saved me a lot of time & money. I have been taking my Silverado to them for years and truly believe that they are an outstanding auto repair firm. Honest & courteous!

These gentlemen treat me like family! They know how important it is for me to keep my 2000 Toyota Echo in tip top shape and they make sure to see that I am safe on the road. I can't praise them enough! Thank you, guys!
-Debbie
We are happy to find a honest competent mechanic that can fix our difficult problems.
-Freeda
Dan and Bryan are both very professional and personable. When they tell you your car will be ready at a time frame it is. When my car needed new tires they gave options of what I could use and we love our new tires, not our usuall brand either per Bryan suggestion we went with a different brand that most of the Phil's Staff use. Good job boys
-Freeda
Thorough troubleshooting, fast high quality work.

We brought our 2005 Prius in to have new struts and boots and front alignment work done. The car is handling so much better when it is being driven. Very satisfied with the work that was done. Thank you! S. Daigle
-Shelley
Phil's rocks! Replaced new prius battery for $2600, dealer want's $4,500. Fixed motor-generator, dealer would have replaced the entire transaxle for double the cost. Phils is the only real shop that has the expertise to properly work on hybrids. Dealer has proved to be a rip off!
-Eric
We moved to the area not knowing any one or really any thing about all the area, except our kids lived in the area. We are very fortunate that Phil's is very close to where we live and all the dealerships are on the other end of town. It has been the best find we have made. Very professional staff and with a commute I have they actually work with me for Saturday service. I will keep coming back and highly recommend Phil's Auto to everyone
-Bill
The survey below said it all.Many thanks again for all the fine work you have done over the years on my cars.

I took my 2005 Ford Escape to Phil's after being referred by another local shop because of their diagnostic capabilities. I was very pleasantly surprised by their knowledge, timeliness in making repairs and affordable price. My car runs great. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when needed. Thank you Phil and all your great staff!!!
-Michael
Excellent work on a complicated water pump problem. Brian Don and Phil all were helpful in getting our car back and working well.

-Cathy U.
I've known Phil professionally for over 20 years and although I do the majority of my own auto repairs, I go to Phil for the jobs I'm not equipped or educated for. The auto repair trade has changed over time and requires an ongoing commitment by a shop owner to continually re-educate himself and his employees as well as to reinvest large amounts of what would have been profit in years past so he can service the increasingly sophisticated computerized systems found on today's automobiles. Phil is the one man and owns the one shop in town I know I can count on to have done just that.
-Dave M.
I would recommend Phil's Auto Clinic to a friend, of course! They fixed my Prius when no one else could at such an excellent price!
-Chris M.

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
