Auto repair service near Elmendorf, TX

Finally found a mechanic that I can trust. And he did a great job.

I shopped several transmission repair shops and got many stories and prices without any of them really looking at my transmissions. Option Transmissions did a scan of the car with the snap-on modus scanner then they told me what was wrong and what it would take to fix it. They delivered what they promised and we are very happy with the results. They guarantee their work. I also liked the fact that the place was clean and well organized. Thanks John.

Brad's knowledge of diesel trucks is as good as anyone in the state. Nice to have such a good resource for my truck repirs.

These guys did a fantastic job today on my car. I had a very irritating noise coming from somewhere in my suspension. I had replaced a few parts on my own, but was becoming increasingly frustrated. The guys at the shop, especially Jacob, really were committed to helping diagnose the problem, and ultimately solving the riddle that was the noise. Thanks again, gentlemen. Excellent work, a fair price, and great customer service !!

Everyone is so helpful at Total Care Automotive. Because I am a girl, many other automotive shops have tried to convince me that I need unnecessary repairs but Total Care Automotive took care of me without overcharging or trying to say I needed extra work. They helped me quickly and efficiently and I recommend them to all my friends!

Best mechanic repair shop in San Antonio. Excellent customer service, fair prices and a great looking shop.

Professional and experienced transmission mechanics. Great customer service and my car runs better than ever. Thanks

Professional work at great price

In 2010 I lived in NJ when I purchased my RV from Sun Motors. I purchased a 2003 class "C" RV in 2010 and it is still in good condition. I got a good deal and a good RV. At that time they worked with me and negotiated a few breaks from the owner whom had this RV on consignment with Sun Motors. I cannot say what type of business deals they do today, but they were honest with me and also worked with me to make the deal. They did have all the opportunity to take advantage of me after flying from NJ to Texas to purchase this RV. I would buy from them again. Paul

Never go there for any service. I was referred to Tilden for alignment work from Discount Tire due to car pulling to the right when accelerating. The mechanic/owner did the alignment ($79) and told me that wheel bearing needs to be replaced to fix the pulling problem ($300). After the replacement and tire rotation, the pulling problem got worse (now pulling while decelerating too). I left my car the following week for a day to diagnose and fix the pulling problem. He did not have a clue about the problem by the end of that day. I wasted $379 and hours of time and ended up having my car worse than before. He did not care about bad reputation or review. I went back to Discount Tire and explained what happened. They removed his business cards from the shop and will not recommend to anyone. Don't waste your time and money for visiting this mechanic!

this place sucks . no communication skills, worst place i have ever visited, people not organized

I purchased a used 2004 Dodge Crew Cab truck. I had always bought new vehicles up until this truck. Buying a used truck was much less hassle and time consuming than I would have ever expected. I like the fact the salesman allowed me to make my own decision. Over all great experience and price.

little over a month ago i took my 1993 for mustang to have it looked at the reason why the clutch came loose. their so called mechanic told me the first time it needed a factory made(original clutch), after several minutes of discussion i told him to do what it needed to fix the problem for good. He REASSURED ME the problem will be corrected for good. long story short it hasn't been fixed and i am out 600.00 dls on my recent encounter with the owner/manager he was very blatant, he threatened me overall i was poorly treated, and he charged me another 100.00 and supposedly now he nows why my clutch is not fixed until i do something else that will cost me more more when in reality they should have fixed it right the first time. I will never go back. It's worth mentioning that as i was being poorly treated there were several customers witnessing the whole situation. I sure hope they or anybody else who is willing to get ripped off does not go back. That type of business does not need to exist, specially now days when times are hard its not at all easy to just chuckle up 700.00 plus dls.

THIS IS THE SAME RESPONSE WE SENT THE BBB. AFTER OUR RESONSE THEY DROPPED MR VALENCIA'S DISPUTE. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Valencia is completely and grossly misrepresenting this entire situation. I will be happy to answer Mr. Valencia points one by one. First, Mr. Valencia claims to have been charged $300+. This is not true. He was invoiced for one hour of diagnostics with tax and with other widely accepted industry charges his invoice was $112.99 of which he paid $100. Which claims "is all he had". I can forward "a screen shot" of his service file showing only one invoice. I can also forward a copy of his service invoice reflecting these charges. Second, Mr. Valencia claims we made his vehicle worse. This is also a misrepresentation. One of our employees who used to be a friend of Mr. Valencia towed his non-running vehicle to our shop at no charge. It left the same way we received it, not running. Third, Mr. Valencia makes several widely inaccurate claims about the time frame of these occurrences. Again, these are wrong. The vehicle arrived in mid May was diagnosed a few days later. After our repeated calls to Mr. Valencia to give him an estimate for the repairs he became agitated and it was our impression he felt the estimate was too high. We told Mr. Valencia we would investigate less expensive options, i.e. used parts or perhaps find a company that rebuild his ECU. We did ultimately find a used ECU with a much lower estimate. Mr. Valencia's Jeep then sat here with no contact for approximately two months. We finally did reach Mr. Valencia and told him we would have to start charging him for storage if he did not remove his vehicle. He did finally remove his vehicle in late July. After "short paying" his bill. Tuesday, October 23, Mr. Valencia came into our business and asked that we fix his cigarette lighter that he said we "********** up". That's how he started his conversation. Mr. Valencia

8/14/16: My transmission broke down in downtown San Antonio. I was visiting from Las Cruces, NM. Needless to say, I was in a bind. It was Sunday and I had no wheels in a strange city far from home. I called a few places with 24/7 towing and Gary from Select Transmission was the first to get back to me. Beggars can't be choosers, so I had the truck towed to their shop. 8/15/16: The parking lot at Select is jammed with vehicles. This might be a sign of them being in high demand because of their excellent service, but it's really because they are slow and/or overbooked. I'd be fine with slow, IF the work is done properly, but that was not to be in my case. They were super nice and cool as they talked knowledgeably about automotive repair. I ended up ordering an upgraded 4L80E with a nationwide 3 year warranty and was able to get financing for the whole cost of the repair, approximately $3800. I told them it would be about 3 weeks before I could arrange to get back out to SA to pick up the truck. I caught a flight home for $350 since I had to work the next day. 8/29/16: I called Select to get an update. Gary said it would be ready by Wednesday, the 31st. I let them know I'd be coming out at the end of the week, which would be the start of Labor Day weekend. 9/2/16: I took an afternoon flight to SA (another $350) and got to Select at about 5pm to pick up the truck. They had apparently been rushed to put it back together...so much for being done by the 31st. Gary told me there was a noise and they couldn't figure out the source. I knew of a noise coming from my front transfer case every now and then, so I told him that was probably it. He also told me that the transmission would make some noise for a few hundred miles as it broke in. Not knowing any better, I drove it for about 90 miles while there was this loud scraping sound. I ended up parking it at a friend's place. Underneath the truck there was evidence of fluid leakage and the skid plate that protected the transmission was missing. The shop was closed for the weekend so I couldn't take it back until Tuesday. 9/3/16: I called Select and got Gary the lying rat on the phone. He was at some Labor Day weekend tailgate party and the shop was closed. He told me to check the fluid level. No help there, the fluid level was fine. 9/5/16: I wasn't going to drive the truck 700 miles making that noise and I wasn't going to leave my truck there for another three weeks so I arranged to have it shipped back to a transmission shop in El Paso for $500 and rented a car to drive home ($120). 9/10/16: My truck arrived at the shop in El Paso. I owe the guy there $400 for the balance of having my truck shipped. 9/22/16: I make it into the El Paso shop and pay the $400. He had already inspected the truck and pulled the rear transfer case off the back of the transmission. It had not been filled with oil, the filler plug on top was missing and the drain plug was loose. The inside was full of metal shavings. Total cost to replace with a rebuilt unit: $1241. Thanks a lot, Select Transmission! To be fair, the transmission itself was fine and installed properly. But PROPER removal and replacement of the rear transfer case is an integral part of the job and this was not done.

Watch the prices and dont get short changed. The people there will try to over charge you or not give you the correct change back. they always do that, with the "Exception" of the nice older lady working mornings.

So sorry to be writing this, as we LOVE Tim Duncan, but he needs to know the shoddy details of his shop! My daughter paid for striping to be done on her car in May of 2015. The striping was wrinkled and looked bad after a couple months. My daughter called REPEATEDLY to request a time for the striping to be redone. She was told by "MIKE K." time & time again, to call back, because his "installer" had to match the stripe and he did not know what color it was, even though it was only a few months prior. My daughter was told repeatedly that she would have to WAIT for the installer to fit her into HIS schedule. EIGHT MONTHS later, when NO phone calls were being returned, we finally get a hold of "MIKE" again. He stated there would be a COST for the installer's time, for redoing the bad striping, even though we had a "5 Year" warranty, which we actually had to REQUEST in writing on the day of the install. VERY BAD SERVICE and RUDE People would take our calls and give no information, except to say, call back another time. Finally, after contacting "MIKE" and told him we have limited time between jobs to juggle transportation, my daughter left her car at their lot for a week, while on a business trip. "MIKE" forgot where he told her to put the keys to her car and seemed confused when we called. It is my guess they do this kind of thing very often! Finally, the installer got the job done, but they hardly acknowledged us at the front desk, and just drove her car to the front, so much as to say, here is your car, don't let the door hit you on the way out! We left without so much as a hello or goodbye! Thankfully, they did not request that we pay a cost for the installer's time, because they would be HARD PRESSED for that! Would NEVER go through those hoops again or do business with them again!

If you are ready to hand over your money to inexperience mechanics that do damage to our truck and a owner who doesn't return your calls then this is the place to go!! Do your research visit all the reviews there is a reason why this place is always switching management! This place gets an F on the BBB website!!

well if you want an engine swap they can do that but if your gonna want it put back the same way they are not the people you want to trust fast service but very very half assed job. didnt even test drive it as long as the engine was in they are pretty much done with you ' just because you have all the tools doesnt mean your a mechanic i could have gone to a chop shop and would have recieved same service

I went to change my wheel bearing out and the man at the register in the servicing area for automobiles was telling me to get an aligment. Im like WTF??? BTW I know my way around a engine i just didnt have a jack or a stand to lift the car and do it myself. They ALWAYS try to sell or OVERPRICEA the service you need!

I wish I could give Lee's motor co zero stars, one is too good for this cheat of an owner. I brought my truck in to get a leak in my oil pan fixed. it took 8 days to get my truck back the first time. a day after receiving my truck I noticed it was still leaking. under closer examination I found that one of the bolts holding the oil pan was stripped and would not seal properly. I brought my truck back a second time, Lee assured me it would taken care of. over a week went by without a call or update. I had to stay on top of him the entire time. I got my truck back the second time, and what do you know, its still leaking! brought it back a third time. this time around my car has been with them for 15 days! I had to call them again just to get updated on the progress of my car. I was told they couldnt get too it and it would be a few more days! UNACCEPTABLE! I asked for my money back so I could take it else where and I was simply told "no" I would not be getting my money back and he would continue to try and fix my truck. if you decide to take your car to lee, prepare to get a rental. because they WILL take their time. this has been the worse experience ive had with a machanic and this nightmare still isnt over. lee, you are a waste of time and money.

Shame on Pep Boys….Scammers and thieves… The Pep Boys at 830 Military Dr. in San Antonio, Texas,are full of lies and deceit when it comes to servicing your tires. Your boss, Pep Boys President, Mike O’dell knows about this and will not get involved. So I now have to get rid of these tires via the net. I am starting with Ebay. This is how I cam about selling these sCrap art tires; Today I visited your Pep Boys location at 830 SE Military Dr. in San Antonio. I needed this visit to correct a vibration problem that was felt on my 1995 Mercury Mystique. This has been an on going problem since mid 2010, yet I was not made aware of this until recently from my brother. I entered the service department and was greeted by service advisor Johnny (I soon come to find out he is the manager, He did not portray the position). I explained that I had a vibration that was getting worse daily and would like to have the balance checked since I had the lifetime balance. Johnny proceeded to write up a service order, he then walked out to my vehicle looked at the driver side front tire and he came back into the service area stating to me that the tires were almost worn out and they needed to be replaced. I felt this was odd since he just looked at 1 tire, so, I asked what the tread depth was; he stated 3/32”. I then questioned him as to what was causing the vibration; being sarcastic, I asked, is it the air? Again, he stated that the tires are worn almost to the point of being illegal, which is 2/32” (a scare tactic to make a sale by instilling fear into the customer) At that point; the service technician was bringing my vehicle into the bay. My vehicle was lifted into the air by this technician after he performed an inspection in the engine compartment. While in the air the technician also jerked on the front suspension, apparently to ensure there were no loose parts. I asked Johnny to inform the technician be careful when removing the hubcaps since 1 hub cap was cracked on the l

Hugo Reza My name is Melissa I have been trying to talk to you about problem of car. Believe car should have not been repo for late payment of remainder of down, a late charge could have been added not the drastic measures Nancy took. My son had problems with paycheck not making enough last week due to rain and not working all days that week. His phone was off and he was out of town working so he could not call anyone. I had heart surgery and didn't know what happened. I tried my sons ph. and it was off when nancy called, i told her very quickly his ph. off and I didn't know where he was working, i would get back with her. yesterday I got call when car was repo. I tried talking to nancy and she didn't care to hear anything, so I asked to speak to you. nancy said, she didn't care who I speak to she is not excepting payment and not giving car back. That's not wright for us to give all that money and for the car to be taken with out working out issue's .so HUGO REZA PLEASE CALL ATLEAST TO HELP RESOLE PROPLEM WE WOULD STILL WANT TO CONTINUE PAYING PAYMENTS FOR CAR.THANK-YOU MELISSA C

I went to this establishment and the tech's there where to conduct an inspection of the vehicle. Never once did they honk the horn,check blinkers, windshield wipers or brake lights. They popped the hood looked at the engine for a while and walked away for a long period of time then came back with a sticker. My complaint aside from the violation of not conducting the state required checks on my vehicle is. I feel that this establishment purposely messed with my truck while under the hood. It has under 39,000 miles on it and had no engine noise what so ever prior to my visit at this Midas however now it accelerates horribly and is rattling and whistleing in the engine compartment. When I called to discuss with the owner he did not want to state his name and of course denies any wrong doing. I would stay away from these crooks. BEWARE..I only give them a one rating because you cant rate a zero on this site.
