I brought in my 1995 Dodge Intrepid because the temperature gauge indicated that the engine was overheating.

I was informed by the technician at Sun Devil Auto (Gilbert AZ) that the main cooling fan was not working and would need replacement. They then said that, "unfortunately" the fan could not be replaced separately on the car and that I would need to purchase the entire fan assembly kit. The parts and labor, which included a radiator hose and a thermostat, would cost $958.00, at a labor rate was $80 per hour.

I took the car to another private mechanic who found that the cause of the problem was actually a bad relay, which prevented the fan from working. He replaced the relay (and the radiator hose). The total parts and labor came to $146.00, at a labor rate of $50 per hour.

So, Sun Devil Auto mechanics are either liars or incompetent. I'm not which, but I don't care.

I HAVE BEEN USING SUN DEVIL AUTO FOR MANY YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF PROBLEM EVER. MY FRIENDS AND MY FAMILY ALL USE THEM, THEY GREAT AND VERY HONEST POEPLE. I HAVE LOOKED UP OTHER REPAIR FACILITYS IN THE AREA AND THEY HAVE 3 TIMES AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS SUN DEVIL AUTO.
IF I WAS TO CHOOSE A CAR REPAIR CENTER BASED ON CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS I WOULD CHOOSE THE ONE THAT HAS THE LEAST AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND THAT WOULD BE SUN DEVIL AUTO, LOOK IT UP YOUSELF.

SO TO SET THINGS STRAIGHT SUN DEVIL AUTO IS YOUR BEST CHOICE.

Hey "Kris" in Phoenix, Arizona. I have a idea for you. Call up Tofixit.com and ask Terri O if she knows about the many Sun Devil auto Rip Off Reports. Call tofixit.com at 602) 863-4948 and ask to speak to Terri O and tell her what you found.

On tofixit.com they state the following:
