He arrived on time, fully prepared, and handled everything with total professionalism. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and done right in my driveway, which saved me the hassle of going to a shop or waiting around for hours. He explained what they were doing, gave me insight on the process in general, and left everything clean afterwards. He even threw on my spare when we discovered I had a flat tire. It's such a relief to have someone trustworthy and skilled come to my location for car repairs. If you're looking for a mechanic who's reliable, professional, and respects your time don't hesitate to contact Teo!

I do not advise purchasing a vehicle from this company! I bought a 2022 Dodge Charger February 2026…read morefor my son who is in the San Marcos area attending college and working two jobs. He is 6 hours away from home and needed reliable transportation. Prior to purchasing the vehicle, they had to flush/change the antifreeze/coolant, replace the radiator, replace the radiator cap, replace the thermostat, replace place the water pump gasket, replace the water pump, replace the battery, replace/repair the blower motor, replace/clean the cabin air filter, check the engine/powertrain computer/module and change the oil and filter. I am thinking we are making a good purchase due to the listed repairs/replacements. The car has overheated twice since buying it. The first time, we took it up there and they replaced the lower radiator hose and flushed/changed the antifreeze/coolant. The second time it overheated, they are now telling us it needs a motor. Purchased it in February and we now need a motor in June. This is extremely frustrating and very unacceptable. They stated because he has driven the car almost 7K miles commuting back and forth to both jobs and school, that they can't help us out. They had no intentions of helping me out. As a single parent of 4 children, it is already difficult enough taking care of my children on my own and paying for college out of pocket. The last thing I needed was for an auto center to take advantage of me as a woman. This is beyond upsetting.

They were so helpful and I even got to spend some time with a wonderful, beautiful , rescue dog, I believe her name was Sage, a Weimer Reiner mix. They were so efficient, quick, and kind with my situation, knowing that it was going to get dark soon and I needed my headlamp working. I live in a small town and it's hard to find automotive help right away when you need it. I highly recommend them and if I am back in San Marcos and need any other automotive help, I will definitely reach out to them. Five star service.
