Auto repair service near Houston, TX

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST AND MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE WHEEL REPAIR PLACE IN HOUSTON!!!! When I first came to this establishment, I was not knowledgeable on wheel/rim repair. Be that as it may, I desperately needed two rims fixed on my Lexus truck after I unexpectedly hit a curb. From the minute I walked in, the staff was courteous and answered all my questions, and trust me, I had a million. Needless to say, they were patient with me and walked me through the entire process that would take place in fixing my rims. EVERY questioned I asked Tracy, the “front desk receptionist” I believe she was; she followed up and asked George, and his abundance of knowledge calmed ALL my concerns. I expressed to Tracy I worked in the medical center so I could get my vehicle after my workday ended, and she said it was not a problem. At the close of my work shift, Tracy called to say my truck was ready. Unfortunately, I expressed to her I didn’t have a way back to the facility. (This is where the MAGNIFICENT customer service takes place.) Tracy told me it wasn’t a problem and arranged transportation for me to get back to the shop. The fact she went above and beyond for me distinguished this place really cares for its customers. In conjunction with their remarkable customer service, the craftsmanship of their repair personnel is superior! The repair they did to my rim erased the fact I ever it a curb. It was like the rims were brand new once again. I can say without a shadow of a dought the exemplary service I received at this shop made me a customer for life! I will undeniably recommend them to my family, friends, and coworkers. Thanks again, Houston Wheel Repair; you all rock!

Came in for transmission service January 2017 and was told it would cost $600 to look at the transmission. I paid cash, got a hand written receipt, and I told Daniel (manager) to call me with an estimate. He calls me for with the initial estimate of $5000 less the $600 so $4400. I told him to wait for repair so I can talk to my wife, and that I’ll call him the next day. I called him the next day, and he said he’s completed repair of the car. I told him I did not agree to start, so he starts lowering the price to $3200. When I go pickup the car the next day, he tells me one of his porters got into an accident with my car (they said it was the other driver’s fault, which other driver said he was the porter’s fault). Long story short, I ask for owner’s contact info and he says it's private. I contacted him 17 times to get my car fixed (January to end of March). Car was left at the shop for over 1.5 months (tires went low). After which I took the car home and also inspected the transmission and found out the transmission dust cover was missing. I came back immediately and Daniel said he would not install the dust cover & claims it was missing before the repair which he also admitted that he would contact me if anything was out of the ordinary during the repair. After 3 months, Universal finally fixed my car due to the collision but with a very bad paint job/bondo work and missing/broken parts which I had to go back/forth to get fixed. Buyer beware of always negotiable transmission prices and no dust cover being re-installed. If they get into a collision with a customer vehicle, they never gave me their owner’s contact information and their shop insurance to make a claim after repeated requests, so I doubt they are insured. It’s also interesting that my $600 initial cash deposit is not included on my final receipt (only the $3200).

Visited Logan's Auto this past Saturday for a inspection and my brakes in the back were making noise. As always, very professional and forth coming. I have other mechanics charge me for something I did not need and Billy was honest with me, which I am grateful. I will continue to use his service for our vehicles. #Top Notch #Clean sitting area #Honest mechanic Kim D. (white lexus)

Used these guys MANY times always great service and prices they are always my FIRST AND LAST call i make when looking for parts!

My vehicle had misfire code, I took it in they repaired it and it was fine for a while but then I had the same issue just over a week ago I took it back they said it was a faulty coil. They warranted the work but, the check engine light is on again and it’s the same issue!!! This place was recommended to me so that’s why I went but I live about 45 min away and I’m afraid my vehicle will not make it.

I really wish someone would close these jerks down. SCAMMERS CON-ARTS, CROOKS, SWINDLERS. In-human idiots that lie lie lie and steal your money. They fix nothing. I brought my car there and paid an arm and leg for them to fix my car and nothing but made it worse. Anyone that reads these reviews and brings there car to them Please call the police immediately. IMMEDIATELY. I wish the police would pay attention to these reviews, go there and shut them down and arrest these thief's. They have a post on Craig's list so beware. Oh that review that someone said their $600 dollar radio was stolen. It wasn't stolen they so called mechanics stole it and lied.

**SORRY RAN OUT OF SPACE** .....and about 9 additional visits to the shop, I had to take keep taking my car back and each time they would say it’s a new issue, and charge me more MONEY!! The last time I took it there I said the EXACT “jumping” is still occurring from the very 1st time I brought it to you guys; I gave you guys so much MONEY and you haven’t repaired my car. I was treated with aggression and THREATS!! I am so upset and distraught about losing all my savings to these guys that just LIED, took my money and NEVER repaired my car. NOW I am out so much MONEY, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY!! GOD BLESS!!

I have been to several auto repair shops in Houston and this one is absolutely the worst of them, by far. So I wanted to do a simple state inspection on my car, which runs very well without any noise or problems. Their behavior was so rude, unprofessional, and dishonest and they wasted my time by making me visit four times without finishing a simple inspection although they charged me for that. First time I went there, "their machine was down" so I came back the day after. After several hours of waiting, the rude staff told me that my car needs a CV axle replacement that costs $400 and without that replacement, they won't pass the inspection. (Note: CV axle is not even part of the state inspection!) But regardless of that they charged me for the inspection service and they gave me a 10-day grace period to fix this axle and come back to finish the inspection for free. So I replaced the axle in another shop for $250!! and came back the next week to finish the inspection for free as he promised me. But guess what? "The machine was down" again so they asked me to come back the day after. Finally, I took my car for the forth time and he told me "their machine is still down" and I need to take my car to another shop in order to catch the registration deadline. But I have already paid them for the inspection. When I complained, they just denied the whole story and whatever he already promised me to do. VERY RUDE! I do not recommend this shabby shop to anyone. I wish I could rate them zero stars.

They overcharge the truck drivers, they charge more hours than the actual time worked in your truck. If you can try not to go there

Not being fair.Car went in the last part of 2013 back in 1/2014.Will do a follow up.But the service is not good,after they take your MONEY

You all literally scammed me out of monies. I brought my car there to get a diagnosis on my AC because it was no longer working. The tech ran a scan, then recharged the freon ($270) only to tell me that the compressor was no good. Mike presented me with a quote of $2500 to replace it, parts and labor. From there, I took my car to another shop whom ran a scan and diagnosed the problem to be the pressor sensor. They charged me $340 for the scan, to replace the sensor, and recharge my freon and the AC has been working ever since. They also told me that you all should have know that it was the sensor before recharging the refrigerant. I will never return to your shop because I do not trust you. The same thing happened when Mike was on vacation and I brought my car in to have a water hose replace. You all did a bypass on my auxiliary water pump. I was told that the part had been discontinued and that the bypass was the work around per the dealership. Well, I called the dealership and was told that was not true as well and that bypassing the pump cause problems. When confronted with this information, after coming back from vacation, Mike insisted that only the hose had been changed which is not true. You all are not to be trusted and I will never refer you business.

This place is a piece of crap. They sold me a car that was messed up from day one. Now the car doesn't even start and I have to pay them for two more years. I asked them if they would help fix the car but they gave me some bull saying the company was bought out so itusnt owned by fincher motor anymore. What kind of crap is that?

My nail shop is across the street so I have been taking my car to this shop for oil changes for years. I took my car that has 67,000 miles on it to the shop two weeks ago. When I picked it up Ariel gave me written estimates for $1400 of work including: front brakes, rear brakes, motor mounts, and timing belts. I asked him if he just checked the recommended work for the miles or if they REALLY checked my car. He assured me that they checked everything. I knew that I needed front brakes. I know that my car doesn't have enough miles on it to need timing belts or motor mounts. I also know that you rarely need back brakes at the same time as front brakes. I took the car to my REAL mechanic he told me that I only needed front brakes. The other items are have need to be replaced in the next two years. I will never go to Meyerland Shell again.

Very crooked, dishonest business. They charged me $3000 dollars for a repair. I paid for it with my American Express Card. They then declared that my car ownership and the repair warranty belongs to an old, White man who helped me tolled the car off the road. I had to call American Express to dispute it as a bad business deal. The manger asked for 0 proof from a White handy man to assure the ownership of the car, but he demands to see my car title, the credit card recipt to prove that it's my car and that I paid for the repair. He even insinuate that the man is letting me use the car temporarily. I showed him the original sales contract of the car that stayed with the maintanece book from many years ago - the only paper I had at the time. He refused to look at it. He just asked for the title paper of the car more aggressively.. The credit card used for the transaction has my name on it and it matches the record in the front side of the repair order. He refused to look at it. He just asked for the credit card recipt more aggressively. I was denied of my 10 day check up. I was denied of my ownership of the car. I was denied of the warranty. He asked me to leave, saying I have a bad attitude. Nobody would trust a 2 year warranty when one is denied of one's standing as a customer, as owner of the warranty, as a paid consumer and the car owner, simply because one is not an old, white man. This whole thing is just bad, bad, crooked deal...

I purchased a LS P75 head from this place on a Friday and was later told on the following Monday, by the owner, that I was suppose to remove the head myself. I requested for a refund that Monday and was told Tuesday to pick up the head because they finally removed it that day. The owner said, " Sorry but head is there ready for you and if he didn't have the head then he would refund it." Not only did I purchase this head but I also paid for a motor swap which ended up having an oil issue that they did not fix. I also requested for my car's original motor and transmission back, in which the owner said it was recycled. This was without my permission nor did he notify me about it. Later found out he kept it, as he does with other customers car's motor and transmission; then sells them to new customers. Don't take any advice from this place nor do business with it because there only looking to skim by with your money. The owner does not respect customers and he does not respect his workers. This alone tells you enough about himself and his business. I don't want the people from my city getting messed over by this corrupt Non-Texan.

I'm really bummed to have to write this review as I've used this place for my inspection for at least 5 years. Today I got my car inspected and once I got home, I realized my glove compartment handle was bent outwards. I tried to open my glove compartment and the handle completely popped off. It had been fine that morning when I got my proof of insurance out. I'm sure whatever happened was an accident, but they just said there was nothing they could do. I'm really disappointed to have had this experience with what I thought was a good mechanic shop.

I was never told that the tires were not balanced. Tires were mounted on the rims but never balanced. Not balancing the tires caused damage to the tires after I drove the RV on the highway . This caused an extremely harsh ride. Violet and heavy shaking. When I returned the RV to JV Houston Tires & Wheels I was informed they could not balance the wheels because they did not have the proper hubs for the tire balancing machine. I have attempted to have the tires balanced, at my expense to no avail. This has gone on for a year with no attempt to rectify the problem. Very hard person to deal with.

I d give no stars if possible. My car had a new engine put in it, for a total of $4600 walkout. Two days after receiving my car back it broke down again. Oil had leaked everywhere, and there was none left. I had to pay a $150 towing fee in the middle of the night and they would not reimburse me. They said it didn't leak any oil and got mad at me when I told them i had checked it. They didn't know that I saw José, the back yard mechanic pouring oil into the car ahead of time. Took them two hours to fix it and not even a month of having it back the engine is broken again. Turns out they said they were giving me a 2007 motor, but they really installed a 2005. I have a 6mo warranty with them, but it does no good when the mechanic who validates the warranty can t fix the car even the 3rd time around. If you want your car to run fine for a few days after paying, but no longer- this place is for you. Those who value your dollar and need good work at a good price - STAY AWAY.

I saw a car on their website and did an inquiry, I received a call back and was told to come in the test drive the car. I went and spoke with the salesperson (Michelle Palin) she seemed nice at that time. Well we spoke about my credit and decided that I would apply for financing so I did an online application the next day and I scanned and emailed all my personal check stubs and utility bills to her, she let me know that she received my documents. Well the next day I got an email from Michelle letting me know that so far this is what I was approved for and told her thanks for the update. So now 1 week has passed by, no response from anyone at this dealership, I sent an email asking what the status was on my loan approval, no response so I called to speak with Michelle I was told that she was not in, I called for about a week straight and no Michelle no call from the finance department. I finally sent an email on last Friday and Michelle claims that she was getting on a plane to come back in town she had been on vacation, she said that she had given my information to a co worker and asked if he had called me, I told her no one called me.. this has been the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It is now Monday and I have yet to receive an call from this dealership. OH AND BY THE WAY THAT 1ST WEEK THE CAR WAS REMOVED FROM THEIR WEBSITE.. Funny part is I already had an check to purchase the car just wanted to see if I could get a different interest rate through one of their banks....THEIR SERVICE IS HORRIBLE I WILL GO UP THEIR CHAIN OF COMMAND TO LET THEM KNOW HOW THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE TREATING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS

I have been to this mechanic over the past 2, almost 3 years. Finally realizing that they may have cost me money instead of saving me money. I initially went for an engine light. They diagnosed it as CATALYTIC CONVERTER. My car was in shop for 2-3 days. Not only did they say one of the catalytic converters CRACKED during the repair and needed to be welded while they fixed it, but the engine light was off for ONLY ONE DAY. Came right back on after I spent $800. Since that day, I have been back to replace the IONIC motor, power steering pump, a FULL TUNE UP that they claimed would fix the engine light. They always said that the TRANSMISSION was fine no matter how many times I reported a problem with it slipping or my car just completely turning off. I spent so much money there and I STILL have an ENGINE light on. Finally, took it to another mechanic someone recommended and he reported that they used CHEAP parts for the catalytic converters, didn't replace the sensors when they did the original work, and NOW the whole TRANSMISSION is messed up because it has been LEAKING. I BEEN SAYING TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION and they never did! Isn't that supposed to be their speciality? Now I will have to pay $2500 to fix my entire car. NO THANKS TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CENTER.

I have owned three Hyundai cars, all have been new cars under warranty. I have only had to taken them in for mechanical issues less than ten times. I have never been told by a Hyundai service department that if they find that the problem is not a warranty issue, like a rat chewing through a wire, or hitting a curb and knocking something loose, that I will be responsible for paying over $100 for them taking time to look at my car, whether they fix the issue or not. I can understand the cost of fixing the issue, but not the cost of just looking at it. I can understand if I was bring in a 2001 Toyota. But I am bringing in a Hyundai to a Hyundai dealership while under warranty, It is implied that while under warranty the dealership for that brand of car will check your car when it has mechanical issues for free, and if it isn't a warranty issue charge you for the repairs. I mean they sure do talk up how good having a warranty is when they talk you into buying that 10 year 100,00 mile extended bumper to bumper warranty, but if you want to get it looked at, you better bring $200, just in case the problem isn't under warranty. Because whether they fix it or not your paying. This was my experience at North Freeway Hyundai in Houston TX. The service consultant Bruce Haefner, didn't even test drive my car to see if he felt what I was feeling, until he first told me that just to look at my car, I basically need to have the money to pay, just in case it isn't a warranty issue.

Horrible Service. These boys don't know what there doing. DO NOT TAKE YOUR BUSINESS HERE. They took my money but did not provide the service stated on the invoice. Had to get new brakes and rotors within 3 months of them putting new brakes and Rotors on, really really!!! Better Business Bureau gives this Meineke location an "F" rating . Sad but true they are not to be trusted. This business is not BBB accredited.

Was sent to this shop by Discount Tires to repair a stud they broke on my van. This shop is horrible, they lack in Customer Service and gave me the run around and never fixed the van. Discount Tires was notifed and they are currently looking for a new vendor.

This was a very unacceptable experience today, Sunday Dec. 15, 2013. My boyfriend dropped off his car here to get a brakejob, and someone took him home since it would be an all day job. The person told him he would pick him up when complete. I came by to simply get an oil change they said would take an hour. I searched for others on 1960, but there were none so I returned and was told 45 minutes this time. So I entered the waiting room and a fellow was talking on the phone at noon saying he'd been there since 9 for an oil change. I looked in the repair area and saw 2 teenage boys in their shorts and one slightly older guy in long pants being the only workers. I went to the desk and told them that after 45 mins. I would get my key and leave whether or not they had started. They completed mine but failed to turn off the maintenance reqd light. Later around 5:30, as I was going to my last tango practice of the year, my boyfriend called to come all the way to Cypress to pick him up since they never answered the phone to do so. About half way he called and said someone was on the way. Then called again saying he had to find a ride with a neighbor because no one showed after he waited for 30 mins outside his house in the cold weather. VERY unprofessional, not answering their workphone or following thru on the pickup. This ruined both our evenings!! Susan Young

The BBB gives them an F rating -- wonder why? Could it be that after FOUR trips, with no loaners available, my car STILL had the Service Engine Soon light go on before I got home??? They don't know what they are doing, they are rude, and they don't care. The General Manager won't return phone calls. Avoid the dealership, but ESPECIALLY the service department!
