Autoworks in
Lake Havasu City (AZ)

Autoworks is the best mechanic in the city of Lake Havasu. James is the most fair and honest mechanic I have ever used. James, his wife and his staff are top notch!!!!

Excellent service—professional, polite, and efficient. They diagnosed the issue quickly and delivered high-quality work. Highly recommend and will return for all future repairs.

An auto shop that cares! James is an awesome guy and very helpful! Went into there with a power steering issue in my Hyundai Elantra and he pointed out there was a recall on the steering column! Most shops would’ve charged an arm and a leg to do the work but he took it upon himself to look into it and pointed me in the right direction to get it fixed! Will definitely be back anytime I’m having issues with vehicles.

Thank you James for all your help today with my Silverado . Everyone at Autoworks is so knowledgeable ,friendly and helpful . I recommend Havasu Autoworks highly .

James and his crew at autoworks are literally the best there is ! got my truck running excellent. would highly recommend business with him very honest and trustworthy.

5 Stars isn’t enough classy people! The type of treatment you get is unreal. They are so friendly and willing to help even though they are so busy. Aside from fixing my a/c so it works flawlessly now; the willingness to help truly shows. They are so respectful and just have the heart to care even if you’re from out of town and may not be a customer for life. Unfortunately you don’t see this very often anymore from any business. Getting your vehicle repaired here is an experience! Even when you call they are so friendly, honest and helpful. When you get there they make you feel welcomed. Not to mention the place is amazing if you have to bring your kids like I did. They have a TV to watch and plenty to see while you kill time. Thank you Autoworks!

I have been using James at Autoworks for about 7 years. He has always been extreamly honest and fair with his pricing. He has fixed all of my cars from Jeeps to Porsches with the same results. Pure satisfaction. If your tired of being jacked around by bug dealers or people who say they know what they are doing. Go to Autoworks you will not be disappointed. James and Robert are two of the most honest. And trustworthy mechanics I have ever come across. If they tell you they can fix it and how much it will cost. Believe them. I cannot recommend Autoworks enough for your automotive needs.

James and the guys at Autoworks are the best! Very Knowledgeable and Honest! Won't go anywhere else in Havasu! Thanks!!

Brought my suburban in with a problem of battery dying while driving. This shop misdiagnosed the problem as a faulty alternator. I paid them to replace it and continued to have the same problem. They told me to buy a new battery for the car. I did and still continued to have the same problem so i brought it back and they diagnosed it as a faulty replacement alternator and replaced it again. The car continued to have the same problem and we determined that obviously something else was going on and more diagnostics need to be performed. At this point, as a customer I felt that the manner in which james was speaking to me was condescending and borderline combative. He called the next day and told me that he could not figure it out and that my car would only be fixed by taking it to a dealer. Since i live over an hour away and i had already made multiple trips with my entire family going back and forth from his shop, I asked him if he could just help out by driving the car to a nearby shop to have someone else look at it. He basically scoffed and said he wouldnt be taking my car to his competition. and furthermore, no one on the "south side" will be able to fix my car. He said it will only be fixed by a dealer. So I paid a tow company to tow the suburban from his shop to his competition. His competition had the suburban fixed the next day and it is running great. So i wasted almost $400 on James misdiagnosed repair, $150 for a battery and $75 for a tow because of James ego. Also hours wasted and frustration and being talked down to. Ill never use this shop again or recommend it to anyone.

Big thank you to James at Autoworks at his new location on 2040 Acoma. It is very nice and clean. This was my first time using his shop and he was so helpful and honest. Gave us options to work with and was very reasonable. The work was done quickly and the quality matches my experience. 5 star! Definitely my new go to shop!! Thank you!!

I don’t think I’ll be taking my vehicle anywhere else unless it’s an emergency!! James is a such a good mechanic and really knows his stuff. Customer service is amazing. Shop is clean. Couldn’t ask for a better place to get our vehicles worked on. Saved me almost 1,000 on repairs. Honest guy.

My old Jeep broke down yesterday, and insurance company had me towed to James and April, Absolute Perfection with Fast, Professional diagnosis. My jeep is done, but April and James were understanding about my car loss, and stayed open an extra hour, even offered to drive me home over an hour away. I will Never forget how Precious these people are, Quality and Care, I will trust again in the future. The waiting lounge and shop is immaculately clean and , adorable "dogs on duty " to help customers feel better in time of stress. These people Care, and Outshine Many businesses, being polite, hard to find anymore. Thanks So Much 🤗 My car couldn't be fixed, it's done, but they helped me not feel so stressed. Can't recommend them enough.🩷

James was extremely helpful in figuring out an issue with my truck. Its extremely rare for me to have to turn to a shop to help figure out an issue that I can't figure out myself. He was able to locate the issue and advised me what needed to be done to get it repaired. James I thank you for your knowledge and expertise. I will be visiting you again and also be recommending you to anyone in need of a great mechanic.

You can't get any better than these guys. Just call them and see how you getting treated on the phone. Brought my 5 series BMW to them since the dealer is 2.5 hours away. Well let me tell ya. 100% professional, honest, and fair $$$. James the owner is who I dealt with. I highly recommend these guys if your looking for a new mechanic. 🫡

James and his folks at Autoworks have my business! They have always gone above and beyond to be honest and fair with me and to make sure that I get back on the road safely. I have read and seen other reviews that share a not so great experience, I understand that car troubles can be stressful, but I have to disagree with the bad reviews. If you treat people with understanding and kindness it will come back to you. I highly recommend Autoworks for someone who is looking for an honest mechanic.

Can't express how appreciative I am to have come across James and his staff at Autoworks! If you are looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanic, look no further! James takes care of all our vehicles and I would never take our cars to anyone else. Recently, my daughter's college friend came to visit and had a car issue. I called James and was told to bring it in right away. Less than 1 hour later, James calls and had the car on the road again! Amazing job. Thank you, James & Autoworks!

Just need to give big thanks to James at Autoworks. I live in CA and drive out to Havasu often. We have had to use Autoworks a few times in the past and again this week so we could get home. He always make time to service our car and get us back on the road ASAP. They do good quick work, if possible, and at a very reasonalbe cost. I always tell him when I leave the shop that "I'll be back." And I will again when I needed. Thanks again for the excellent work and service.

I went to another local shop to have my brake pads done. I received an outrageous quote. so I thought let me check another shop for pricing. I called Auto works and the owner quoted me half of what the other business was charging saving me half of what the other shop quoted. Auto works had my breaks done next day, and saved me $400. Very honest, fair, fast, and quality service. Highly recommend this family owned local business.

Incredible customer service! James did a last minute inspection on our car which was leaking oil. He was able to quickly diagnose and fix the problem. Without his help, we wouldn’t have been able to make our scheduled road trip. Appreciate his honestly and going above and beyond to make sure the vehicle was safe to drive.

James is AMAZING! He took my van in and got her running in about 30 minutes. Come to find out I needed 2 new battery’s (new van new problems I guess haha) and got me an amazing price! Even better than me pricing out the batteries online! Way cheaper than the dealership!!! This is now my most trusted shop I will be taking all of my vehicles there (and trust me I feel like I have a fleet)

James is an honest, skilled, and reliable mechanic. His prices are fair and his work is timely. If something can be repaired instead of replaced, he will do that and save me some money. James and April are also compassionate and helpful when I need something right away. Autoworks is the only shop I will use in LHC.

James at Autoworks is AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend him and his shop. I went in with a seized up duramax engine in my “highly modified” 04 Silverado among other problems. He diagnosed all my problems and blew every other quote out of the water! He is professional and got the job done. New engine, transmission, transfer case, shocks, window regulators, and recharged my A/C.(I know I’m forgetting things) He encountered unforeseen issues along the way and still stuck to his quote. He and his crew went above and beyond for me. He will be my only mechanic in Lake Havasu from here on out! By far the most down to earth and honest mechanic I have ever dealt with! I can’t thank him and his crew enough for dealing with me and my questions along the way. I got pictures and reports all through the process! I’m very happy with the outcome! Thanks again James and crew!

Autoworks recently replaced my brakes and rotors. The total price was fair. They were able to get me in and on my way in what I would call record time! They always provide quality service but I also appreciate how honest and friendly they are! Autoworks has always treated us well. They will continue to be our "go to" auto mechanics. I highly recommend them.

I have been going to Autoworks for approx 5 years now and I am very happy with their service. James is very honest and you don’t get that “the mechanic is screwing me over” feeling at all. He has no trouble working on my Honda Civic or Volvo. If you are looking for a mechanic you can feel good about I would highly recommend him!

Many thanks and blessings to this company. Honest and friendly service! I wish more mechanic shops were ran with such integrity! We had just got the front brakes repaired at a shop in Lone Pine, CA before making the trek through Death Valley & Mojave Desert. On our way we started hearing a rattle in the drivers side wheel area. It was alarming but with no where to stop we kept going. We tried one other shop before we came here, they didn’t have the time but Autoworks got us in right away. Turns out a very important bolt to the brakes was missing. The part held together only because it fit so well. If the part came out it could have jammed the tire and we would have spun out. The parts were going to cost a small fortune to order and we would have waited for a week. Instead, they were able to machine a makeshift part to fit. Albeit a temporary fix, we are grateful to be back on the road in such a short time! Support small, local, women owned businesses!

James is the most honest, sincere, hard working mechanic I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. He and his wife, April are great people. They do a lot to support our community. James’ work is beyond reproach, and his prices are very reasonable. We won’t take our vehicles to anyone else

I have been going to Autoworks since they have opened! It’s hard in today’s world to be able to take your car into and feel 100% good about what your mechanic is telling you! Their work is top notch and they have by far the best service around! They won my business the first time I took a car to them. After what my original mechanic told me was a computer problem and about 400 already spent, I took to them and low and behold a simple vacuum leak! Didn’t even charge me for the time he spent!! Have never gone anywhere else sense! I moved 200 miles away from their shop. I wait until I go back into town to get my service down on my cars.. Hands down the best shop around!!
