A Very Good Place to Bring your Car
Thunderbird Automotive is my “ go to” place when my car is either ‘ feeling ill” or needs to be maintained to its best operating ability. They are accommodating when it comes to appointments, you can be taken home and brought back when the work is done, the prices are fare, they stand behind their work, they are honest and, very courteous. Now you know where to go when your car needs maintenance and / or repair.

HONESTY
It's hard to be an "older" woman and not be taken by anyone in the auto business. These guys are HONEST. Much appreciated.

These guys really know what they're doing when it comes to vehicles. They did a wonderful job on my Honda Odyssey. Very professional, clean place, knowledgeable mechanics and counter staff. Has to be the best shop I've ever used.

Transmission service
Thunderbird Automotive’s service is outstanding!
I typically take my vehicles to the dealership for all service matters and the last time I went to the dealership for an oil change on my 2018 Honda Ridgeline with 32,000 miles I was told I needed my transmission, differential and transfer case serviced, along with a wheel alignment, I got a quote for over $600! The transmission service was a “special” for $189 plus tax.
I looked at Yelp and Nextdoor for recommendations for transmission service and noticed Thunderbird Automotive was given very high marks and reviews. I setup an appointment and had Thunderbird service my transmission, check my wheel alignment, differential and transfer case. Only the transmission needed serviced. My total bill including tax was $139.
Great job Thunderbird Automotive!

Did a thorough inspection and diagnosis and resolved the issues
Had "noises" associated with either transmission or power steering. Thunderbird took it to a transmission shop, which did an inspection, bu not conclusive. Thunderbird then had their foreign auto mechanic conduct various inspections and diagnosis, to limit the source in transmission area, which was repaired. Then a second noise was associated with power steering, Jim, the mechanic was able to determine that an interior part of the power steering pump was making the noise, so he did not have to replace the entire pump. We are so appreciative of Thunderbird taking the time they did on the vehicle. Yes, it was expensive, but it could have cost hundreds more if not for the integrity of Jim the mechanic and Brandon, the owner to really care about their customers. I would recommend Thunderbird Automotive to those who care about quality and integrity of service.
