I’ve spent more than 20 years in the dealership world, and I’ve seen just about everything — the good, the bad, and the things customers should never have to deal with. After two decades of watching people get hit with huge markups, confusing estimates, and repairs they never really understood, I knew there had to be a better way.
That’s why I started Half Price Auto Repair & Performance. Not to build another shop, but to build a place where people could get honest answers, real quality, and pricing that actually makes sense.
What began as one small location with a tiny team and a big vision has grown into a network of shops across the Valley — Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, Cave Creek, Phoenix, and beyond. But even as we’ve grown, the mission hasn’t changed.
What “Half Price” Really Means
When people hear “Half Price,” they sometimes think shortcuts. But that’s the one thing we don’t do.
To me, “Half Price” means cutting out all the dealership layers and markups that don’t help the customer. It means giving people:
– Certified technicians who know what they’re doing
– OEM-quality parts and equipment
– Straightforward estimates with no surprises
– A friendly team that explains things clearly, without talking down to you
I built this company on trust. If we can’t earn that every time someone walks in, then we’re not doing our job.
Growing With Arizona
As the Valley has grown, so have we. Each new location is a chance to serve another community the right way — with honesty, consistency, and real care.
Whether you’re coming in for an oil change, brakes, A/C work, or a full engine job, you’ll get the same level of attention and respect no matter which shop you visit. That’s something I’m proud of.
Looking Ahead
We’re investing in newer diagnostic tools, continuous training for our technicians, and better customer-service systems — not because it’s trendy, but because it makes the experience smoother and more transparent for you.
But our growth isn’t just about tools and technology. Every store we open creates jobs, supports families, and strengthens the neighborhoods we call home. I’ve always believed that a repair shop should be part of the community, not just a business in it.
What I Stand For
– Honesty: Tell people the truth, even when it’s not the easiest answer
– Excellence: Do the job right the first time
– Community: Serve the neighborhoods that trust us
– Value: Deliver dealership-level work without the dealership-level

These values shaped my career, and they’re the backbone of every Half Price Auto Repair location today.
Your Neighborhood Shop
When someone searches “trusted auto repair near me,” I want Half Price Auto Repair to be the place they think of — not because of our name, but because of how we treat people.
We’re here to help you keep your car running right, with honesty, clarity, and care. That’s the vision I started with 20 years ago, and it’s the promise we still keep today.
