To preview the official Sun Devil Auto Facebook page, friends are invited to join on Facebook by searching Sun Devil Auto.

Metropolitan Phoenix ~ Sun Devil Auto is an Arizona-grown, family-owned and operated auto-repair company offering complete repair in the automotive aftermarket industry.  Established in 1978, the company has successfully established an Arizona presence with 21 locations and recently has expanded into the NV and TX markets with 4 and 3 additional stores respectively.

The company’s advertising methods have been conventional over the years. They attribute their success to branding and staying in the public’s eye through print, direct mail and a strong online presence. This week, their marketing and advertising efforts have taken on a new form via Facebook and when marketing director Jackie Carro was asked about this new direction in social media, she replied, “Our advertising has evolved as our business has in three plus decades. We’re enhancing our brand which effectively captures the essence of our parent company, Sun Devil Auto of the late 70’s, (home-grown, family-owned, community, grassroots marketing) while also reflecting a more modern-day, sophisticated level of auto repair services that we offer: state-of-the art diagnostics, alternative to the dealership, “green” approach to recycling liquids, oil, etc.” The company will continue to engage in community events and social media as well as their more conventional form of advertising.

About Sun Devil Auto

Sun Devil Auto is an Arizona-grown family owned & operated complete auto repair business. Owner Joel Higginbotham opened the doors to his first facility back in 1978 and currently celebrates over three decades in business. Impressive, considering they are not a chain. The Higginbothams believe in the hands-on approach and play a key role in daily operations. You’ve heard the old adage, “The buck stops here.” Well it truly does. Upper management is in the field, visiting store teams and working with them daily. They know every employee (nearly 300) by name. They oversee the marketing and advertising with enthusiasm. The buck truly does stop “here”.

Sun Devil Auto was built on integrity and a solid reputation. The Sun Devil Auto family upholds those values with pride. They’ve built more than 21 store locations in the Phoenix market, four stores in Nevada and three in Texas. Sun Devil Auto employs ASE Certified technicians. One thing they are well-known for is that their certified technicians perform ONLY customer-approved work and guarantee all their work in writing. With same-day service and competitive prices, and even in a down economy, Sun Devil Auto thrives and has quickly become the alternative to the dealership.

Sun Devil Auto Reviews
for Phoenix #20 (E. Bell Rd.)
“Recently, after getting an oil change. . .your tech noticed a number of major items he felt should be fixed. Not only did your staff complete all the repairs, but found after closer examination and research one costly repair wasn’t necessary after all. You were very frank and up-front with us on these issues, saving us 1000 plus dollars. My wife and I would like to thank you and your staff for the good work, honesty, integrity and thorough examination you performed on our car. . .and we feel very comfortable returning to your store for any other problems we may face with our cars.”
– Don S., Scottsdale, AZ

“Just wanted to thank the guys at Tatum and Bell. My wife’s car battery died and the fellas over there diagnosed the problem. . .Took it to Sun Devil and even though they had time and effort in the job did not charge me for the diagnosis. It is stuff like that which will always bring me back. Thank you for not charging us for a minor issue. We will always return to a place we can trust! Good job Sun Devil!”

“Good customer service is hard to come by these days so I have to tell you about the amazing customer service at this store. George and the mechanics working there are wonderful. One day my truck broke down five minutes before closing. Not only did George wait until I could get my truck towed to the shop but he also made sure my daughter and I got home safely. He goes above and beyond to show that he truly cares about his customers and that’s something I appreciate. The customer service at this store is the reason I won’t take my truck anywhere else for repairs!”
– Lisa S., Surprise, AZ

“I [used to] take my vehicle to the VW dealership and had been looking for ways to cut down on expenses. I decided to give it a shot. George is fantastic! He did an excellent job in helping me out with understanding the process to repair my brakes; went out of his way to answer my questions. . . and his staff — they are the most polite and friendly staff I have ever come across. I have already referred a friend who has a VW. They will continue to get my business and new business from my friends. Way to go!”

This system operates on the basis of receiving information from the sensors in various locations (INPUTS). When those conditions match the pre-program circumstances, the computer causes certain actuators to adjust accordingly (OUTPUTS).

Heating, Ventilation & A/C Systems Maintenance Tips

  • Check heater lines, belts and hoses every 20,000 miles. Replace if there is any sign of damage, leak or bubble, or if hoses feel soft and spongy. In any case, replace belts and hoses every 30,000 miles or 4 years.
  • Clean condenser and radiator fins every 20,000 miles
  • Check vacuum control lines every 20,000 miles
