These fine people are total experts in import autos and darn good with domestics as well. They are careful and meticulous with your car. Due to Covid I believe they are working on an appointment basis. If you want it repaired correctly these are the correct people to do the job.

Bill has been my mechanic for 30 years! Completely rebuilt engine one Porsche 911, runs like a new car. Also keeps our Mercedes & Volvos well maintained. Always goes the extra mile with my vintage European cars to figure out what is wrong, find the parts and repair. One of the few knowledgeable & honest European mechanics in El Paso.

Brought my 04 F150 in for backup lights on at 10:00 am Friday, expecting my truck to be in the shop till the following week. At 2:00 they called and my truck was ready. Diagnosed, corrected shorts, replaced fuses, fixed a few more lights. Very happy.

These folks are great. They are our go-to mechanics after dealer/manufacturer warranties expire. Reasonable pricing and competent, friendly mechanics and staff.

They are fast, knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. The only drawback is the hours they are open. It is difficult to get there to drop off or pick up the car when they work typical business hours, 8 to 5. Other than that their repairs are always good at a reasonable price.

I have been going to Tinkertoy Automotive for over two years now, and the results have been amazing! My repairs have always been completed faster here than the dealer, and much cheaper! Keep up the great work!

They were friendly, knowledgeable, and got me in and out in a timely manner. My air conditioner needs to be fixed still...after we find out where the leak is (car less than 42,000 miles) Ill have more to say once I see how THAT goes. UPDATE:: 6/29/18 Checked for leaks (put dye into system 4 weeks ago) NO LEAKS!! Recharged 4 weeks ago....still cold! All Tech Auto charged me TWICE (Aapprox.$100 each time) for dye. There was NEVER ANY DYE PUT INTO THE SYSTEM!! Tinkertoy said if dye had EVER been put into the system (even 10 years ago!) the residue would still be visible. No residue...NO dye!! Also when All Tech recharged system...was only cold 2-3 weeks. And....you know it has been hot the past 4 weeks!! So TINKERTOY AUTOMOTIVE......honest!! Go there!!

I was traveling through El Paso, and broke down. Had my truck towed there and they were amazing. Figured out what was wrong and explained it to me. They got me back on the road, and I appreciate them. When you want something done right, you have to go where they will do it right!! Tinkertoy Automotive gets my vote!! Thanks Tinkertoy!!

Patrick and his team are the most upfront, honest, and humble mechanics I have ever experienced.It has always been difficult to trust car mechanics when you’re ignorant yourself... but I do not feel that way about Patrick... I do trust he will do honest work every time!Patrick-thank you!

I was told about Tinkertoy Automotive. As with any new automotive shop, I was skeptical but after talking with them and work done on my truck, I found them extremely knowledgeable with fair prices. We now have another car there for repairs that would cost at least twice as much if taken to a dealer. I will continue to take my vehicles to them.

So far, so good. They told me that what 2 previous mechanics had told me..was a flat out lie. I had been cheated. 2 places told me they had done a specific service, and these guys proved to me that I had been charged for a service that had not been done.....at all!! Now lets see if these guys can fix my car correctly.....it is an AC problem. I am hopeful. Quick, pleasant and reasonable....so far. Ill let you know how it turns out.

Pat and the guys took on a large job with my 1974 Chevy 4x4 and didnt BS me about how long it would take or the cost and potential problems that may occur.I had went to some other shops that gave me low ball estimates and timelines so they could get my business but then I could see all the jobs sitting there covered in dust waiting to get worked on.Ive been hot rodding and working on cars since the 80s and I just didnt have the time or space to do this job.I have a good understanding of the hours, parts and possible bads that may come along with this custom engine swap and that a big job like this has to take a backseat to other customers tune ups, brake jobs etcThe price was fair, the work professional and their patience with me as a customer with my many questions appreciated. Will take the truck to Ernies Mufflers for new pipes and review.
