Tempe and ASU: honest prices for people paying their own way
Tempe is a 28-minute drive on the I-10 and the 17 to Glendale Avenue, and plenty of ASU students, staff and Tempe families make it because the number is better. A big share of Tempe repairs are self-pay: a parking-garage scrape, a Mill Avenue door ding, a bike-rack bump, an older car with liability-only insurance. The Economy repair level and no-payments-for-90-days financing exist for exactly that.
The I-10 and US-60 interchange and the Loop 202 by Tempe Town Lake produce the rear-end and merge collisions, and game days at Mountain America Stadium add a wave of parking damage and low-speed hits on Rural and University. If it happened on campus or in a university garage, ASU PD writes the report, not Tempe PD.
If you're a student with a car registered to a parent in another state, we handle that routinely: the authorization can be signed by the owner remotely from their phone, the estimate and updates go to both of you by email, and we talk to the out-of-state insurer directly.
Tempe specifics
- Parent owns the car? They sign the repair authorization from their phone, wherever they are; you drop the car off.
- Pickup within 20 miles doesn't reach Tempe, but a tow is free on repairs over $3,500 and we deliver the finished car back for a quoted fee.
- ASU garages and campus streets: ASU PD reports; Tempe PD for the rest of the city.

Services for Tempe drivers
Common questions
I'm a student with no collision coverage. What's the cheapest honest repair?
The Economy level: repair panels instead of replacing where the metal allows, aftermarket parts only when something must be replaced, economy paint. It's a real repair with no filler tricks, priced for cash, with financing if you need it.
The car is in my dad's name in another state. Can you still fix it?
Yes. He signs the authorization online from his phone, we email both of you the estimate and updates, and we deal with his insurer directly. You just bring the car.
Is it worth driving from Tempe to Glendale?
Send photos first. If the Economy or Best Deal number beats the Tempe quotes, which it usually does for self-pay repairs, make the one trip to drop it off; we can deliver it back.
Can I use you if my insurer recommended another shop?
Yes. Arizona drivers choose their repair shop. We work with all insurance companies.
What if my car isn't safe to drive?
Call us before moving it. We can help you arrange a tow to the shop.
Deductible waived up to $1,000
Don't let the deductible hold up the repair.
For many drivers the deductible is the hardest part of an accident. Ask about deductible assistance: on qualifying repairs we can reduce what you pay out of pocket by up to $1,000, and you see the exact amount in writing before work starts.
Assistance is a discount on our side of the repair. We never inflate an estimate or bill your insurer for your deductible. Eligibility depends on the repair and your policy.
