Engine repair service near Spring, TX

My experience started plesant. They picked up the vehicle and repaired it in an orderly fashion but quoted one price on friday and Monday quote 500.00 more. said that they had to do something extra. I was trying to give another mechanic a try but I will stick to my regular. He is slower but his price is always the same.

When I first called them they couldn’t get me in for two weeks, ok whatever. Two weeks later I call them, they don’t even remember me but just tell me bring in my vehicle they’ll get me in. They told me it would be a week and a half to rebuild the engine and they would call me when it was done. They originally quoted me $3995. A week after I dropped it off they called me and told me it would $7k to fix it. I told them that wouldn’t work so they backed it off to $5700. They told me again a week and a half and they would call me-don’t call them. Two weeks later I call them and they told me they would call me back later that day with an update. No call. I called back Monday and the guy I spoke with was absolutely nasty to me. It had already taken twice as long as they had quoted me and my car had failed the test drive. They decided to pull my engine back out and NO ONE had called me!!!!!!!!! This time they told me it would be 15-20 business days! On top of the time they already had it! When I finally get it back the interior is greasy the exterior is caked in dirt and my Windshield is cracked! I read the reviews and decided to give this place a chance. I just hope the engine holds up because if that works as well as anything else this company does it’s gonna crap out.

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO GET A WINDOW REPLACED HERE... They did a horrible job to my girlfriend's windshield and now she has a destroyed, mildew smelling carpet under her front seat. THEY THEY DID A QUICK JOB AND WERE CARELESS and now we have to pay the price for their poor standard of service. Rose, the front secretary, was quick to point out that they have a liability clause on their wall which states that THEY AREN'T LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THEY DO TO A CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE. I've never seen such poor customer service and I've never been dealt this way by a mechanic before. Do yourself a favor... GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

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.

11-18 -19 My car over heated. Stan, who is a lair and a cheat, told me it was a thermostat. So I greed to have them fix it. Then Stan called claiming the water pump was bad and it is easier to replace the timing belt at this time so I agreed. While they changed the timing belt they mistimed the engine and destroyed it. They bought a replacement engine a “ salvaged” long block. No telling how many mile is on it! I asked that they put the parts I paid for on the salvaged engine. Almost ONE month later, 12-16-19 after repeated calls made by me I was able to pick up my car. I presented the rental car bill and Stan, who is a lair and a cheat said the owner will send me a check, but my car broke after 10 minutes of driving. They tried to claimed it was the exhaust not the engine but eventually cleared the problem. I asked Stan who is a lair and a cheat, if the new parts are on my car and he said no, but I’m going to warranty it for 3yrs 36k miles prorated. Next morning the engine light came on so I took it to the dealer it was there for 3 days while repairing the wiring and sensors that weren’t wired correctly and install missing bolts on the engine! To date my car has still overheated 2X I have exhaust fumes in the cab and most importantly I have not been reimbursed for the rental car and don’t have the parts I paid for.

Please listen to these customer. Steve Welch is a CROOK.... HE IS RUDE AND HIS SHOP IS NASTY. He needs to be put out of business. Steve quote you a phone prive to get your car and then up the price by thousands. And I mean Thousands. He only takes CASH. He had my car since 2/2012 AND I PAID HIM IN FULL AND MY CAR STILL DON'T WORK. He refuse to repair the car correctly to work. He claims to rebuilt motor that's bull why my car don't WORK? He took my battery out my car put it on flat and refuse to give me my keys and then call the police after I paid him in full. The police grant me my car with out paying any extra charges. THE AR STILL DON'T WORK!!! Pls run THE OTHER WAY. STEVE , I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT.

Horrible business! Very Rude and wont help! Never going there again! According to them there is no owner and no manager and anybody runs the business. Rude and yell at you... Not helpful at all!

Big rip-off. I was quoted $3780 for head gasket and they claimed it would take 5 to 7 days. Then they said they replaced 2 engine mounts and wanted $850 more. Later I found out that the mounts for my car are between $35 - $50 for a total of $85 for 2 of them. They already had the engine off the car, so why charging $850 instead of $85 for deciding between the old and new mounts. Then they called claiming that they replaced the ignition coil and wanted $870 more. The ignition coil at Parts-Geek is only $49. So from the initial price of $3780 they went up to $5500 and they took 40 days instead of 7. I then told them that I cannot longer afford this bill because my budget was for the initial price. I then asked for the parts they took out and they do not have them. they are very dishonest. Beware of one called Robert. He is mean and disrespectful. He called me on 10-23-17 saying that my car was ready. I told him again that I have the prices from different suppliers regarding the engine mounts and the ignition coil and they are about $50 each. Then he said that instead of the ignition coil he replaced the computer. I told him that he was supposed to get my authorization first and told him that I need my old computer back. He said that he had to turn it in to get a new one. This is false. I contacted the dealer and they said I do not have to turn the old computer to get a new one. From the initial stimate of $3780 he wanted $5600. He already has $1500 that he asked to start the work. He is a crook. STAY AWAY!!. He also said when asked about the guaranty that I would have to pay for the labor involved. WHAT KIND OF GUARANTY IS THAT!!

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

I took a motor to be prepped so i can rebuild it myself and he misplaced my pistons. He was suppose to bore the engine to .30 over and he bored it to .32 over and I realized that he only honed the motor to make it look like he bored it.....he does bad work. I would not recommend going to this machine shop at all.....

I went at the location on westheimer rd near woodland park dr. In Houston tx 77077 The worst breack job I ve ever experienced in my last 3 cars theses people don't know what the hell they doing I had a pads replaced and rotter cut. after I came back for the reoccurance of the noice that idiot bold guy there told me I need flushing also called bleeding which I did and still have the noice I spent a lot of time and money at that crapy place called just breaks, When I took the car to my mechanic he inform that these idiots use the cheapest bracke pads that u can ever get and the bleeding was not necessary What a rape off ! Just breaks should change their name to. Just idiots !!!

Scammers! They are cutting corners and you don t know it! He quoted me a price to fix my catalytic converter. When the car was ready he claimed the O2 sensor was also bad and replaced it without calling first! (I still don t believe him because there is a different code for failing O2 sensors. He was just trying to get more money off me.) That added almosts another $200! He said he would do an oil change for free, but he put regular oil in it instead of the synthetic that I always use. I told them not to do anything else to my car. I took it to another place immediately to change the oil AGAIN. They told me the work had not been done properly and that they didn t replace the oil filter when they replaced the oil...that I need to take the car somewhere else to have the work cleaned up. (incorrect bolts and seals) Don t use these people if you want to actually get the work you are paying for!!!

I just got back from buy two "very expensive" (per the employee helping me) batteries for my truck. Not only was the service slow - like ridiculously slow, but this employee continued to make comments about how expensive my vehicle was to operate and at one point was telling another customer how much my new tires would cost. Then for whatever reason they decide to give me a complentary wheel alignment test and as they guy is pulling my truck out he hits a piece of equipment with my side mirror. Thankfully there was no damage and I never did get my complementary test. Get your Die Hards at another location.

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.

Don't go there!!! After agreeing to pay $800 for engine repair, a week after he had my car, he tells me he has mis-diagnosed the problem and he is working on it. Then 6 weeks later of ongoing phone calls and no car, he tells me he won't fix it till he gets more money. Now, my engine is with him, and my car is at another place. I remain car-less. 6 weeks!!!!! That's 6 weeks of relying on others for rides to work and temple. This is awful customer service and some what of a ConArtist. He keeps your engine by luring you with a lower price and then wants to bill you for more. His scamming is what makes everything else bad for frugal car owners out there.
