Honest repairs. You approve the price first.

Four simple steps. No surprises.

Tell us what’s going on. We check that first, free, and look over the rest of the car while it’s here.

We call you first

You hear what we found and what it costs. If it needs our diagnostic computer, you approve that cost before we start.

Nothing gets done without your OK, and we only do the work you approve.

We keep you ahead

For things that can wait, we tell you about how much life is left and note it for your next visit.

Questions

Good to know before you come in

What vehicles do you work on?

American, Japanese and Korean gas cars, trucks, SUVs and vans, including Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia. The largest we take is ¾-ton, like a Ford F-250, Silverado 2500 or Ram 2500. We don’t work on diesel, European, hybrid or electric vehicles.

Do you charge to look at my car?

Looking it over is free. If it needs to be hooked up to our diagnostic computer to find the problem, there’s a fee, and you approve it before we start.

Will you try to sell me work I don’t need?

No. We tell you what needs fixing now and what can wait, and you decide. Plenty of customers leave with just what they came in for.

Do I drop it off or wait?

Repairs are drop-off. Book a time online or call us, and we’ll call you with what we found and the cost before any work starts. Oil changes are the exception: you can wait in our front office, with seating and a TV. It usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. Choose “Wait at the shop” when you book.

Do you work on diesel or heavy-duty trucks?

No. We work on gas engines only, up to ¾-ton trucks and vans. That means no diesels and no 1-ton or larger trucks, like an F-350 or a 3500.

Do you work on company fleets?

Yes. We service and repair fleet vehicles for local businesses: cars, pickups, SUVs and vans up to ¾-ton, gas only. Call 281-443-8998 to set up a fleet account.

Do you do Texas state inspections?

No, we’re not a state inspection station. We can fix what’s needed so your car is ready to pass one.

What are your hours?

Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. We’re closed Saturday and Sunday.

Ready when you are.

Book online or give us a call. We’ll take it from there.
