What customers say about our auto repair work
4.9 stars on Google from 532 reviews as of November 2026
“Great customer service! I was traveling and needed to get an alignment done due to hitting a pothole. They did a full check and helped me also get new brakes. Very professional and great team. Highly recommend!”
“They fixed the AC and replaced the brakes in my son’s first truck. They have excellent customer service. Very friendly and honest. They communicated with me throughout the repairs and had the truck ready the next day. They will be my first choice the next time I need any repairs done.”
“** GOOD BYE DEALERSHIP ** I recently had my AC compressor go out on my 2016 BMW 228i. I took it to the dealership who has always done service and any repairs on this vehicle. The repair price for the compressor was a couple of hundred more than Texas Complete Auto Repair (TCAR) with a lot of potential add on’s. I took it to TCAR and explained the situation and showed a video of the repairs recommended by the dealership. TCAR’s knowledgeable staff (Steve) reviewed the video and gave me good honest advice on what the repairs should be and how much it will cost. TCAR went and picked up the vehicle from the dealership and finished that night. I picked up a clean car with AC working the next morning when my schedule allowed. TCAR service was professional, timely and a great value for the money!”
