Akina Motor Sportz in
Tempe (AZ)

I will only take my 1990 Miata to Akina. They are true professionals, knowledgeable and HONEST! My “baby” was even washed when I picked her up. Thanks Porsche and team!

Best shop in AZ Porsche will get the job done for your car. Honest guy with whatever is going on with your car he will let you know what the issue is. Over all great service, good experience with akina motorsports.

Porsche is a great guy. Took my car and he looked at it for 2 days for any leaks and he dint find any and informed of the same and told me to take the car and did not charge a penny..

I trusted my 2015 Toyota Prius with them, and I am SO HAPPY I did. I guess I went deaf to the sound my car was making when I drove at higher speeds. Took it in when someone rode in my car and noticed. After a quick test drive they nailed the issue down. Wheel bearings needed. They got me a great price to replace all four. Porsche showed me the old bearing from my car after the repair. Yikes, I’m glad they fixed it for me. Incredibly fast service and very communicative!! Trust your car with them. You’ll be glad you did.

I took my vintage Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 to Akina Motorsports and this guys were great. Porsche is a very good communicator and cared about my vehicle. I highly recommend this shop. Great work.

If you’re looking for a place that stands behind their work, this is where you come. This place only uses quality parts for their services so you won’t have to worry about being overcharged for cheap parts that will go bad much sooner than they should. They will tell you exactly what you need, why you need it & provide alternatives is possible. Highly recommend and will be back for all future services.

Splendid work and great price! Very knowledgeable! I had so many questions and he was able to answer them. He even told me about some other options out there of which I was not aware. I recommend getting service done here. I will take my other vehicles to Akina Motor Sportz

I can't recommend this shop enough. Best customer service I've ever experienced. The attention to detail and quality of work done to my car's modifications and maintenance were amazing. I will be recommending Porsche, Lucky, and his team to all who are seeking a quality shop going forward.

I had some aftermarket work done here at Akina and the quality of their customer service has exceeded any auto shop that I have been to before. All of this on top of their incredible job they did working on my car. I was always kept in the loop of what was going on, and everything got done it a quick and timely manner. Thank you guys again!

Honest and quick!!! I never leave reviews but this experience was worth mentionong...We met with Porsche when we needed a second opinion after receiving an inflated quote from the dealership. Porsche took the time to give a full inspection of our vehicle to correctly identify the true problem, and actually saved us almost $1000!! It is hard to find a trust worthy mechanic, if you are not familiar with cars, but Porsche will take to time to earn your business honestly, as opposed to trying to make a quick buck. We will definitely be taking all of our vehicles from now on!!

Porsche runs a great shop. Been using Akina motors for years. Nothing fancy, just honest repair work. Does everything from basic oil change to more advanced engine repair. Has worked on my car (2006 4 runner), my son's car (1998 land cruiser) and my grandson's car (Ford Focus). If looking for a quick cheap fix NOT FOR YOU. Quality work at a reasonable price. Well worth the trip to Tempe. Thanks

installed a vvt solenoid and its been great so far! faster throttle response i cant wait to install this on my na-t build! thanks again akina!

I bought an aftermarket VVT-i solenoid. They installed it very quickly and offered a 30 day money back guarantee. I felt the difference after 30 miles of driving, significant improvement to my acceleration. Give Akina Motorsports a try, they will not disappoint you.

I took my 1967 Mustang coupe into Akina for a tune up and complete once over. The staff was extremely professional and communicated the issues with my car very quickly. The quality and quick service was very much appreciated. Akina Motor Sportz is a very reputable shop that I will be going back to if need be. Highly recommended!

I just moved out here and my radiator started leaking, I knew with 260k miles on my Tacoma it was due. I'm leaking oil and the front seal needed to be replaced as well. Porsche (Owners name) was sensitive to budget and took care of the most urgent items. He also took the extra mile and power washed my truck engine to identify a few more not so urgent leaks I will be taking to them to repair soon.Great service and delivered repaired truck ahead of time as it is my only transportation. Thanks Porsche!

I took my car for a water pump replacement, it's a very difficult task, 6-8 hours job. So I was looking for a good shop that has experience with the job. I took my car to Akina Motor Sportz, Porche has done that before, so I decided to it with them. He gave me a very good price, and the he did an excellent. I'd definitely recommend the shop to anyone.

The guys at Akina are great. We needed our engine replaced. They gave us a good price ($1000 less than another local repair shop) and the work was done just as they promised. Porche was upfront with every step of the process. It's hard to find a good auto repair place that you trust but I felt like these guys were straight up. Thumbs up.

Dishonest company that does not stand by their warranty. I had a reputable shop install the engine in my daughters car. When it failed 2 months later I took it back to the shop as they instructed me to do. Josh and another person came to the shop and said it was not anything we did wrong. He told the shop they would send another engine and also called me to tell me the same thing. The next day Josh calls and says the decided not to warranty the engine. Don't waste your money at this place.

I wanted to update my review that I have continued to bring different cars in to them and their still providing fantastic service and at great prices. They have done up grade work on my Mazdaspeed as well as precision bead work on welding. They provide on point recommendations on upgrades for performance and calibrations for more horse power. Been taking my cars to them for a couple months for some work done on the AC and they been AWESOME. Honest as well, they even showed me the old parts that was replaced and turned out my old mechanic robbed me and did not do the work as promised. Akina has even stood behind their service and warrentied anything that was wrong from their service and I have yet to have any issues. I'll be bringing my cars to them now far on. Fast service as well!

Very few times have I taken my car to a shop to get exactly the repairs needed to keep it running strong. These guys are awesome and have taken great care of my 240SX and Prelude over the past couple years. Very friendly and caring, and excellent on pricing. They even offer a discount if your car is an import! I recommend this place to everyone for car care. From simple repairs to extraneous labor, they will definitely have you covered.

I needed a 98 Forester 4:11 ration transmission for a project and Akina had one at their warehouse with low mileage. I placed half down for the order and picked it up the next day. It had a warranty, but did not need it as the tranny has worked great. They were very helpful and honest.

Everything from the service to the people all around Excellent! I didnt have much trouble with any process like most auto shops quick and easy! If you want a fast build on your whip I highly recommend coming here. They get shipments weekly so anything you order is fast, in your car and ready to roll. I highly recommend coming here for any maintenance or performance on your car.

Akina Motorsportz is the place to take your vehicle for ANYTHING!! From my car simply needing an oil change, to needing more serious work done, Akina can take care of it all. They have great friendly and honest staff, are quick at their flawless work, yet they take the time to explain all the necessary things your vehicle needs. It is obvious that all the mechanics truly enjoy being at work, which makes for the best experience from a customers point of view. I have been taking my Scion TC here for the past few years, and I wish I had been taking it longer. Forget the dealerships, or any other shops around town... Akina Motorsportz is the place to go.

I have been going to Akina for many years and each time I have had the best experience. Porsche and all the guys at Akina are honest and extremely knowledgeable. They explain everything to me clearly and in a manner that I will understand so that I feel comfortable about what is being done. The prices are fair and service is excellent and efficient. I have recommended Akina to many friends and family members and they have all had the same great experience. If you are looking for a local mechanic that has ties to the valley and provides an excellent and efficient experience, than Akina is the place to go.

I have been going to Akina for about 2 years now, and I have nothing but the best experience everytime. It is a true father and son shop that loves each car as it is their own. They are always helpful and are willing to not only find me the cheapest prices but are trustworthy when fixing my car. I would reccomend anyone who needs basic car work or someone who is looking to turn a steet car into a track monster. A+++++

I bought a transmission from Akina and got treated well. The transmission was as described and I received it when I was told. They delivered it to the shop. And it seems to work great. I brought the core back and was refunded the core charge immediately. Why is it that the people that write negative comments don't leave their name?

We have been taking our cars, Subaru and Tiburon to Akina for nearly 10 years. Our experience has been Wonderful! They are honest and reliable. We live in Florence and go to the trouble of taking our cars all the way to Tempe in order to have Akina take care of them. Our first experience with them was when they installed a rebuilt engine in our Tiburon for a very reasonable price--AFTER the dealership had screwed it up! Have never had a problem with the engine.since they began maintaining it. Don't know what happened with the guy who wrote the awful review here, sounds like sour grapes to me. If his car stayed there that long it's most likely because he didn't pay for the work and they had to get a mechanic's lien to recover their cost. I owned an auto repair shop in Houston years ago..."been there, done that." Strongly recommend these guys, Tell them John & Jo sent you.
