Vehicle Inspection Services

American Five Star Auto Repair & Transmission provides a number of vehicle inspection services. Our pre-purchase inspection in Tempe will help you determine if a used vehicle is right for you based on its condition. Our techs will carefully examine the vehicle and let you know what services it needs now, and what repairs will likely be needed in the future. We can also provide a pre-trip inspection if you’re planning a long journey, giving you peace of mind that your car won’t give you any trouble on the road. Give us a call to schedule an automotive inspection that covers safety, performance and reliability!


Belts & Hoses

The rubber belts and hoses found under the hood of your vehicle operate under extreme conditions. It is important that these parts are replaced before they tear, rip, snap or otherwise fail, as this could lead to major engine damage. We perform all types of belt and hose replacement services, including timing belt replacement, radiator hose replacement and serpentine belt replacement

Wheel Alignment

Proper wheel alignment is key to comfortable, safe and fuel efficient driving. If you feel your steering wheel shaking back and forth or if your car drifts or pulls to one side of the road or the other, it’s likely time for a wheel alignment in Tempe.  Our shop can perform fast wheel alignment services that will maximize tire life, fuel efficiency and overall performance.


Computer Diagnostics

If your vehicle is experiencing any trouble, bring it to our auto mechanics at American Five Star Auto Repair & Transmission for expert computer auto diagnostics in Tempe. We use leading-edge diagnostic tools and equipment, including scopes, to quickly and accurately pinpoint the source of the problem and recommend the best course of action. After diagnostics testing, we’ll take you out to the garage, show you what we found and answer any and all your questions honestly. We want to be your auto repair shop for years to come. That’s why we value honesty and integrity above everything else. Give us a call to schedule service.

General auto maintenance can extend the life of your car by tens of thousands of miles. At our nearby auto shop, we offer a full service oil change in Tempe that includes the proper amount of conventional oil, semi-synthetic oil or full synthetic oil, as well as a new oil filter and multipoint inspection. We also offer engine tune up services to maximize engine performance and mileage. A tune up often consists of minor auto maintenance that restores reliability and fuel efficiency, such as replacing spark plugs, installing a new air filter or fuel filter and other minor services. Give us a call to schedule a fast oil change or to request an estimate for the cost of a tune up in Tempe.


Fuel Injection

Without properly working fuel injectors, you may find yourself struggling to start your car or dealing with severe engine performance. Our team at American Five Star Auto Repair & Transmission is well-versed in the mechanics of fuel injectors, so we can easily spot an issue. If you have any engine performance issues, come see us and we will quickly assess the condition of your fuel injectors, perform the necessary repair, and have you back on the road ASAP.

Ignition Wires & Cables

If you are experiencing any issues getting your car started, come see us; it may be time for ignition repair in Tempe. We will complete thorough diagnostics to identify the issue that’s causing your car’s troubles and then perform the proper repairs to restore its drivability. This may include replacing ignition coils, fixing electrical issues or other ignition services.


Coolant Service

It is essential to have your radiator and cooling system in good condition to avoid the troubles that can arise once your car overheats. We perform all types of cooling system and radiator services. This includes water pump repair and thermostat repair. Come see us for cooling system or radiator repair in Tempe if you notice any signs of overheating, such as white steam coming from the engine or the engine temperature gauge rising into the red zone.


Exhaust Systems/Catalytic Converter

Your car’s exhaust system is easily one of the vehicle's hardest working components. Not only is this system responsible for directing harmful and toxic fumes away from you and your passengers, it also dampens engine noise and converts harmful fumes to less hazardous emissions. If you suspect exhaust trouble or catalytic converter problems due to a check engine light, loud engine rumbling, a decrease in fuel efficiency or a shaking gas pedal, come see us. Like all services, we offer a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty on exhaust repair in Tempe.


Starters & Alternators

The starter and alternator play key roles in vehicle operation. The starter, as the name suggests, helps to start the vehicle’s engine. If you notice a clicking noise when trying to start your car, it may be time for starter repair in Tempe. The alternator is what produces electricity via the motion of the engine. It powers onboard electrical systems when the car is running, which can lead to the car dying if the alternator fails. A malfunctioning alternator will also lead to the car battery dying repeatedly. If you suspect you need alternator repair in Tempe, visit our local auto shop.


Steering & Suspension

Whether you have an electrical or hydraulic power steering system, steering trouble is caused by a broad range of issues; everything from improper wheel alignment or leaking seals to electronic component failure or power steering pump damage. Our expert auto mechanics are steering system experts, and we’ll fix any issue we find. The same can be said for suspension trouble. We offer shock and strut replacement and other suspension repair in Tempe. If your suspension is making your ride uncomfortable and unsafe, visit us right away.
