Auto repair in Tempe, AZ
We don't have a shop in Tempe, but our Mesa and East Mesa locations sit just to the east, and plenty of Tempe drivers already make the trip.
Just east of Tempe
Let's be upfront: Network Automotive does not have a location inside Tempe. What we do have is our original downtown Mesa shop at 104 East Main St and a second shop at 3007 East Main St in East Mesa. Tempe drivers visit both for everything from routine oil changes to engine and transmission work.
Why make the drive? Because we have been doing this since August 1995, and we run every job the same way. Our ASE-certified team diagnoses the problem, explains what we found in plain language, recommends a plan, and waits for your approval. Nothing gets added to the bill that you did not agree to first.
If you have been looking for auto repair Tempe AZ drivers can rely on, that approach is a big part of why about 75% of our customers are repeat customers. Some longtime customers still call us Network Alignment, and either name will get you to the right place. Every repair carries a 24-month / 24,000-mile nationwide warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Tempe traffic
Tempe sits right where the I-10, Loop 101, Loop 202, and US-60 all come together. For a lot of drivers, that means daily merges, heavy rush-hour traffic, and a steady rhythm of hard braking and quick acceleration. That pattern wears brakes, tires, and transmission fluid faster than steady highway driving does.
Many Tempe cars also rack up short trips: across town to class, to work, to the grocery store and back. Short hops never let the engine fully warm up, which is hard on oil and batteries. Add a Valley summer with 110-degree afternoons, and a battery can go from fine to dead in a single week.
Parking is its own challenge. Cars that sit in open lots and garages all day in July bake inside and out, which dries out wiper blades, rubber seals, and belts. Sun-baked dashboards are one thing, but it is the rubber under the hood that tends to fail first.
The practical advice for Tempe drivers is simple. Test the battery before summer, keep an eye on tire pressure as temperatures swing, and do not ignore squealing brakes or a soft pedal. If the A/C starts losing its bite, get it checked before the hottest weeks arrive.
What we fix in Tempe
We always diagnose first, recommend a plan, and wait for your approval. Every job is backed by a 24-month / 24,000-mile nationwide warranty.
Freeway merges and stop-and-go on Rural Rd and University Dr are tough on brakes. We inspect pads, rotors, and fluid, then show you what we found before recommending anything.
Heat and short trips shorten battery life for a lot of Tempe cars. Our diagnostics check the battery, starter, and charging system so you replace the right part the first time.
A weak A/C in a Tempe summer is miserable. We track down leaks, failing compressors, and electrical faults and explain the repair options before starting.
Synthetic blend, full synthetic, and diesel oil changes. If your driving is mostly short trips, we can help you choose an oil and interval that fits.
We find the real reason behind the light, not just the code. The diagnostic fee is quoted upfront, and you approve the repair before we touch anything.
Tempe vehicles are tested under Maricopa County emissions rules. If yours failed, we diagnose the cause and get it ready for a retest.
Worn shocks and struts make a car bounce, dive under braking, and wear tires unevenly. We test the suspension and recommend replacement only when it is needed.
Keep your warranty and your car on track with the maintenance your manufacturer recommends, adjusted for Valley heat and your actual driving.

Tempe FAQs
No. We do not have a Tempe location. Tempe drivers visit our downtown Mesa shop at 104 East Main St (480-649-0839) or our East Mesa shop at 3007 East Main St (480-407-6091).
For most of Tempe, the downtown Mesa shop is the more convenient choice. If you work or run errands farther east, the East Mesa shop may fit your day better. Both offer the same services and warranty.
Heat is the main reason. Extreme summer temperatures speed up the chemical breakdown inside a battery, and short trips keep it from fully recharging. Testing the battery before summer is a smart habit for any mechanic in Tempe to recommend.
We diagnose first and explain exactly what we found. Then we recommend a plan and wait for your approval. You will never find surprise work on your invoice.
