Most trustworthy mechanic I've ever been to. A brand name mechanic shop told me I needed all new breaks, so I took it here for a second opinion. He took a look inside the wheel, showed me that they were lying, and sent me off without charging me a dime. Explained everything in a friendly way. Truly the best kind of guy you can hope to come across when getting car work done.

Awesome place, hardworking people and affordable!I took my car with a broken axel, Ford and Brakemasters wanted to charge me a 1k! Vinam and his wife helped push my car and worked on it for a very good price and within 3 hours my car was running! 10 out of 10 am bringing my car here again.

These guys are the best. Fixed my Throttle body in less than an hour like a pro and gave me an affordable price on it. Great experience will be back again.

I literally broke down on the side of the road and they helped me push my car to their automotive shop and offered me a really good deal to fix my car for a good price. He found the problem right away he called me and told me he ordered the part he fixed it super fast and called me the next day saying it was fixed already for a really good price.can t find a better auto shop in town than this place. They are very hard workers, it s owned by a husband and wife they a super nice and very helpful. I would definitely recommend going if you have any issues with your carServices: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

I never do reviews but felt like this was very needed. I had a wonderful experience! Not only was this the most affordable option but they went out their way to fix my car at O Reillys because it wouldn t start.. the service was A1, I ll def be returning in the future.

Even though the the prices may seem reasonable, however I brought my car in with ac issues. My husband personally bought a whole ac kit ( new compressor) for my car. The mechanic had my car for a week and a half then when we finally went and picked it up,the air still blew hot. he stated my fan was weak and that's why it still blows hot, even after having my car for a week, none that was mentioned until we came and got it.We again ordered new parts for the AC system, for him to say that the new AC compressor we had specifically ordered for my car brand new was defective. Which is very unlikely.after spending the money it had finally blown cold air for only a week. Then my car developed a leak from the radiator and my ac started blowing hot air. I had brought it in to another Mechanic, do to my surprise my ac compressor refrigerant was only at 0.7 pounds and almost empty. They couldn't continue the inspection because of the leaking from the radiator. Someone had put on a specific bracket on wrong and my radiator is bad. Vinam had not done a thorough job and the fact that my compressor didn't have refrigerant in it says alot about this mechanic. His inexperienced has cost us a lot of money. I highly do not recommend this mechanic to any one. We had lost time and money on something to never be done about it.

My car was inspected to be fix four things which was quoted about $2400 at the other store. Here He kindly inspected again and fix two and told me that rest two are not essential to be fix now. Since my car is old (2002), I am happy that i can run more after spending about $520 instead $2400. He replaced the radiator and engine torque mount with $200 labor fee. He is honest man. I am happy to visit again when I have any problem.Service: Vehicle Inspection

Vinam gave me the best auto repair experience I've ever had, my vehcile broke down and he let me drop it off after hours. The owner called me and gave me updates on my vehcile through the day, he was super informative about what he looked for and what he was doing, and even gave me a great price for all the repairs (water pump & timing belt) he sent me a picture of his cctv showing my vehcile was done and that I could come pick it up. Him and his wife are very sweet, kind, and wonderful people 10 out of 10 I would come straight back here again to get my auto needs doneServices: Auto water leak repair, Engine repair

Very good place to take your vehicles. I have been associated with Vinam Automotive for nearly ten years, I always send my family & friends there. The owner is very honest with your estimates & guarantees his work.It's hard to find a mechanic that you can trust, you can trust this shop

Very happy and glad I chose this shop. He is an honest stand up guy and his wife is very nice to talk to as well. I'd give 6 stars if I could. My camper van died on me randomly in AZ during the holiday, and never having been to the area I had to take a gamble. It's my home so I really like to know it's being handled well! He came in early AM after the holiday and diagnosed the issue for free. Turns out the problem was not nearly as bad as another mechanic told me, and he literally saved me $500!!He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the issue, and his diagnostic process. To top it off, I asked him if he could change my oil last minute, and without hesitation drove to the store to buy the proper filter to do it. The only downside is that I don't live in the area and will probably not find as good of a guy in my hometown!

Amazing customer service. Amazing work. Mr Vinam and his family offer the best service in town. Took my Acura that was having AC issues. Had my car back in 30 minutes with the AC working and ready to go. Good pricing for fast and reliable service. What more can you ask for. Recommend to everyone in town.AFService: A/C installation & repair

Friendly family owned business with fast, reliable service and prices that are kind to your wallet. I got quoted approximately 380 from other mechanics for a repair that cost me 178 here. This was also accompanied by a lifetime warranty for the parts. Will definitely be returning!

I just had my older minivan fixed by the chief mechanic Lai. He was able to fit me in to his busy schedule and I had my car back the next day. Aircon now working like a charm. His pricing for the aircon service / fixing and the oil change was very very reasonable. I am so happy that I found out about his auto shop from a guy at O'Reilly's auto spare! :)Definitely deserves a 5 star rating for quick service and excellent price. Thanks very much Lai!Services: Air conditioning, Oil change

I went here after searching for a family owned mechanic and the 5 stars sold me. This place rules! Lai (the owner) and his wife were so incredibly nice to work with. I came in for an electrical problem which he fixed in minutes, and upon further inspection he noticed I was leaking coolant. He fixed it in a few hours and charged a reasonable price. Thank you so much! I ve been to so many mechanics in the past and this was the most pleasant experience. I ll always come back here.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical

Excellent service, knowledgeable, professional. I would recommend Vinam to anyone who needs a real mechanic with reasonable prices. If it doesn't get fixed, there is no charge. Great place,

So, I was really concerned trying a new automotive shop for multiple reasons. Cost, honesty, transparency, customer service , and scheduling were all reasons for my skepticism.I cannot begin to tell you how pleased and grateful I am that I went to Vinam Automotive. The owner was communicative, honest, efficient and fair with pricing. He explained his diagnosis, determined what needed to be done, completed the work and then showed me what he did. Could not ask for a better experience. Great mechanic, excellent shop!

Lai, the owner, strives to give me the best deal for my budget and does quality work.Added 6/14/23: I should say that Lai has been my mechanic since 2016, when I challenged him with a very weird jerry-rigged situation that I had improvised when I couldn't fix my old car properly. He was able to think creatively and work with that jerry-rigged situation until I got another car. He's continued to be excellent all these years. The last thing he did for me, he refused payment. I still recommend him (and his nice family, whom I sometimes see in the shop's office) to all my friends and will continue to do so.Services: Electrical repair, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Engine repair, Vehicle Inspection, Auto battery maintenance

I've got tire rotation, break check and repair for the rear break lamp here today. Lai was the most honest mechanic I've ever seen. He advised me not to replace break pad now by saying that it would work for a year. He checked and repaired what I asked very well with a fair price. His wife was also very friendly. I strongly recommend this repair shop to those who are looking for a reliable mechanic.

This auto repair shop is Tucson s hidden gem. They do it all here from a simple oil change to repairing engine. The work and dedication they put in to getting your car run is top notch! They are decent, honest people and would only charge you for the actual repair done to your vehicle. There are no add on overhead costs or service fee like other shops. My family will definitely bring our cars back whenever we need a quick fix. Thank you!

I can't recommend Vinam Auto enough! They are the most fair and transparent auto service I've ever used. I went all summer without my AC because I didn't think I could afford to get it fixed. I finally took it to Lai and even though the part I needed was no longer in production, he somehow found a way to get the AC in my '97 pickup working like brand new, and at 1/3 the price other places quoted me for vague "over-head." Lai gives you a straight-forward breakdown of the costs for parts and labor too. I also got my water pump and hose replaced by him, and I'll be taking it back for other repairs I have put off because I haven't been able to afford fixing them at the prices quoted anywhere else. They are always very fast and efficient as well, and it's nice going to a local, family owned and operated business.Services: General repairs & maintenance, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning

This is the best place to get your car repaired. The manager Lai is so honest and so reasonable! He s always so pleasant and helpful. I can call him and he will make time to look at my car & repair it. He never over charges you. His wife is really sweet and I enjoy talking to her while waiting for my car to be finished. Do not take your car anywhere else - this is the place to bring your car. They treat you like family. Thank you so much Lai for being so honest!

Worst customer service ever! The guy didn't even attempt to fix my car, he ran a diagnostic and literally called me and told me he wont do it, i have to take it to the dealer. Then he was so rude about me picking it up. Avoid this place! He doesnt know what he is doing.

Lai is the mechanic at the shop and he is very fair with pricing and very knowledgeable. He did a great job fixing my Toyota and my Honda from air compressor to shocks and struts alternator and serpentine belt. I highly recommend Lai and his small family business!!! They are quick and efficient!!!

I had a check engine light come on and I gave them a call. They told me to come right in for a diagnostic even though they were very busy and were super professional and nice. They were able to diagnose the issue and repair it the same day. I will come here for all future work on my vehicles. They are the best!
