The independent auto repair group that took twenty-three years to build.
Five locations across the Phoenix metro. All makes serviced. Personal vehicles and commercial fleets, both.
Find the Apex closest to you.
The only multi-location independent group in Maricopa County with ASE Blue Seal of Excellence at every location.
ASE Blue Seal of Excellence requires at least 75% of a shop's technicians to hold current ASE certifications. The standard is high enough that most multi-location independents can't sustain it as they expand. Apex sustains it at all five locations — because James Caldwell pays his technicians more than the chains, sends them to factory training annually, and invests in OE diagnostic equipment for every platform we service.
The credential isn't a sticker on the door. It's a $340,000 annual line item in the Apex operating budget for continuing education and recertification. It's how we keep 41 ASE-certified technicians and 12 ASE Master techs on staff across 5 locations.

A dedicated commercial-fleet division. Separate bays. Separate account managers. Separate SLAs.
Apex Fleet Solutions is the commercial-fleet division of Apex Auto Group. We founded it in 2017 when a Tempe-based plumbing-HVAC contractor asked us to take over maintenance for their 14 service vans. Today we serve 240+ commercial accounts across the metro.
Fleet Solutions has its own bays at Tempe and Mesa. Its own service writers. Its own diagnostic queues. Your fleet doesn't wait behind retail customer vehicles. A single named fleet account manager — by VIN — handles every account over $30K annual spend.
Municipal, landscaping, plumbing-HVAC service vehicles, and delivery fleets are the four segments we know best. Written SLAs cover response time, turnaround time, parts availability, and pricing. Online portal access for maintenance history and upcoming-service schedules. 24-hour roadside dispatch.
"I tried three Phoenix shops for my Lexus LX 600 after the dealer quote got out of hand. Two of them lost the car for a week. Apex Scottsdale had me back on the road in 36 hours, with a written estimate before any work, and a follow-up call from the location manager three days later. They are an operation."
— Daniel W., 2024 Lexus LX 600 owner · Apex customer since 2024"Apex Fleet Solutions has been our exclusive vendor for 22 trucks since June 2024. Tina, our fleet account manager, knows every truck by VIN. Our downtime per truck dropped from 9% in 2023 to 3.2% in 2025. We've never missed a job because Apex didn't deliver."
— Rachel P., Operations Director, Sonoran Landscape Solutions · 22-truck fleetWhat our customers say.
"Took my Porsche Macan in for a check-engine light the dealer wanted $2,400 to chase. Apex Tempe diagnosed it as a single $48 sensor in 90 minutes. The diagnostic charge was waived when I authorized the repair. I'm not going back to the dealer."
— Sandra K. · 2022 Porsche Macan · Tempe"David, the Scottsdale location manager, walked me through every line on the estimate before any work began. They have the BMW ISTA tool and the proper coding equipment, which most independents skip. My X7 drives better than it did off the lot."
— Michael T. · 2023 BMW X7 M60i · Scottsdale"Bought a 2021 Range Rover from a private seller. Apex Gilbert did a 110-point pre-purchase inspection that caught two air-suspension leaks the seller hadn't disclosed. Saved me from a $9,000 mistake. I send everybody I know to Apex now."
