Most honest mechanic I have used in 30 years. They get to you as fast as possible and will tell you exactly what you need done and how much it will be before they do any work, providing all the options. I don't take my cars anywhere else. As the the bad review. Sounds embellished. You can leave your car over night or drop it off first thing. You want a quick oil change? Go to jiffy lube. This is a mechanic. Not the same. Twice I have taken a car that they deemed a simple fix (once fixed it in 5 minutes) and used almost no mechanic time. They didn't charge me either of those times. That's honesty! Billy Lowry has got my business from here on out! read more

I got a diagnostic at NTB and they told me I needed an oil cooler replacement and a coolant flush. NTB sent the car to Billy Lowery Automotive to do the work which I paid $1.7k for, they worked on the car for 4 freaking days. Not sure why it took 4 full days to work on the car but they took that long which I had to rent a vehicle to take my kids to school, etc. I didn't let that be an issue even though it was, I was patient. Once I received the car back it starts making popping noises when turning the wheel and driving, the noise gets really bad at times and sounds like something is about to break off. Mind you, THIS NOISE AND ISSUE DID NOT EXIST BEFORE I received the car back. I even confirmed with NTB and their mechanics, which tested my vehicle and drove it prior to taking it to Billy Lowerys Automobile, that this noise and issue was not an issue and was non existent before taking it to Billy Lowerys Automotive. I took it back to NTB and they sent it back to Billy Lowerys, who took 4 freaking hours just to find the noise that NTB found in less than 30 minutes, I called them for an update on my car and I was told they would call me back since every single person there was on a 1 hour lunch break. after another 2 hours I call NTB and they tell me they have my car back?! so they didn't even have the professionalism to call me back the guy that owns the vehicle and paid for everything. Billy Lowerys told NTB that it was "wear and tear" on my driver side lower control arm and strut and that they both needed to be replaced. I don't understand how the lower control arm ALL OF THE SUDDEN has wear and tear while it was parked and being worked on? If the vehicle wasn't being driven around or nobody was joy riding my freaking car then there shouldn't have been any change in my lower control arms condition. Even common sense can tell you that. Why would the lower control arm suddenly mess up while its parked? CLEARLY Billy Lowerys is a rip off and they will f*ck your car up either from joy riding or just to get more money out of you. It is not a coincidence that I got my car back f*cked up after paying $1.7K for the replacement of my oil cooler and coolant flush. That's insane. I would stay way clear of this shop unless you want your car to get f*cked up. The lady on the phone is also very rude and unprofessional. read more

Terrible service since Billy Lowery left. In the last couple of years while James was in charge, I understand he started treating customers very poorly. The Wicked Witch of the East that worked in the office was a very rude person. In the end, I'd say the shop got exactly what they wanted. That was to no longer be bothered by the best customers they had for over 20 years or more. I left only one star because I couln't leave zero. read more

This repair shop was the best before Billy retired. But now a new crew is in charge. Tony is the lead guy and he is dishonest. I dropped my truck off for them to diagnose a problem I suspected was a timing chain issue. Tony called me back and informed me that I did need a new timing chain kit and it would cost ~$2300 (parts/labor, less sales tax and "shop incidentals"). I decided to get a second opinion from another mechanic and when I picked up the truck, Tony charged me $65 for the diagnostics. I asked him if he had performed any diagnostics on the truck and he said no. They just listened to the truck and agreed with my assessment. I told him that his "diagnostics" fee was unfair since he had done nothing to confirm the problem. He simply pointed to the sign on the wall ($65 shop fee). I told him I would never use his shop again and he said "I'm glad". That afternoon, I stopped by another shop. The lead mechanic listened to the engine and said, "Well, I can't confirm it's a bad timing chain unless I briefly run the engine without the serpentine belt in place." I agreed for him to proceed and his diagnosis confirmed the timing chain was ok. The water pump pulley was bad (making noise). He quoted me $750 to replace the pump (parts/labor).. In Summary, Lowery's Automotive (with Tony calling the shots) did NOTHING to confirm the engine problem and were prepared to charge me over $2300 for a timing chain I did not need. We've all heard the stories of mechanics/shops charging for work that's not necessary. Well, I experienced it firsthand and I'm lucky I did not allow Tony's gang to work on my truck. STAY AWAY FROM LOWERY'S AUTOMOTIVE read more

This place was top notch when Billy and James were in charge. Now that they have retired and Tony has taken over it is terrible. They are not honest and cannot be trusted. I was a customer for over 20 years but no more. read more

Honest, reliable, and dependable. I have used Billy Lowery Automotive for repairs for many years. I started using them when they were located on Pasadena Blvd near HWY 225, and have stayed with them ever since!!! Bob Wood read more

I have just met my new mechanic for Life! Honest, fair, friendly and fast! They just completed a brake job for me and didn't try to "sell" me a bunch of stuff I did not need. It is so reassuring to know that we have a new partner in the care and upkeep of our vehicles... read more

Lowery's has always been very honest with me. If they don't think something needs to be done; they tell you. They don't try to nickel and dime you like some places. I trust them wholeheartedly with all of my cars and I have referred several friends. James is always so respectful and upfront with me. I appreciate his honesty and the way the shop is operated. read more

Swung by here recently to get a used car that I was thinking of purchasing checked out. James was generous with his time and thorough in checking out the car. He also gave me some decent advice in general about used car shopping. If I was buying a used car in this area, I'd go to Billy Lowery again to have it checked out. One of the fears that you might have when buying a used car in an area with a lot of dealers and then going to a mechanic nearby is that the mechanic will rubber stamp the car instead of identifying the problems. Generally, you want your mechanic to play devil's advocate. My experience with James gave me a lot of confidence that a thorough inspection was being done. There is one other very positive detail that I'm leaving out, mainly on behalf of the business, regarding how I was treated. But if you knew what it was, it would only increase your confidence in the business and its honesty. read more

Billy Lowery's is the only place my family has gone to consistently for car repairs. He is the most honest mechanic I've ever been to. He will tell you what is necessary for you car. Has NEVER tried to force unneccesary repairs. If you live in the area, give him a try. I promise you'll never be disappointed. read more

Billy Lowery's is the only place that our vehicles go when they need something done to them. It was the only place my mom took her vehicles once she found Lowery's. Billy and his team are fast, friendly and honest. I would not trust anyone other than his team of mechanics to work on any of my vehicles and you won't either once you go there. read more

He was recommended by my brother-in-law. First honest mechanic I've met. Reasonable prices and doesn't do unnecessary work!

We used to live in the area and used Billy for many years, I would highly recommend him. He's honest and will always tell you his straight opinion on whatever he's working on for you. We moved away 12 years ago about 2 hours away, but continue to use him for all our automotive needs. We'll drop off the vehicle with him, and he'll call once he's got it checked out to tell us what's going on. We completely trust him and his staff. James is also an excellent mechanic and very trustworthy. You can't go wrong with Lowery's! read more

This is a great place to take your vehicle ;) everyone is so nice and trust worthy .. I found out about them through my extended warranty provider . They use them all the time .. The dodge dealer was going to have my truck for 7 to 10 days before they could even look at WOW that's crazy !! They got it diagnosed and fixed in one day ..... I will use them again !!!!!! read more

They were going! They fixed my 2006 Toyota Corolla air-conditioning and I have had no problems at all.

I kindly stopped in to ask for an oil change & a/c change for tomorrow or Monday. The lady said we can't promise you anything due to the upcoming weather but you can drop your car off for the day with no guarantee. REALLY? I kindly told her I just drove from San Francisco but used to live here & needed this done. She was rude blaming the weather to not want my business! She seemed to have an attitude on top of it! So, this is the welcome I receive coming back to Tx with a small business that has 3.5 stars or something? To top it off, they weren't even busy! I saw the garage. I hope this hurts their rating, to improve on customer service, they are 1 star. So, I ended up driving down Preston to a Certified auto shop that used to do my Tx inspections & God bless him! He said he can take my car first thing in the morning & gave me the reasonable cost & detail of what he would be doing to accomodate me & I don't have to leave my car! He has been in business many years, he's treating people right! He will get 5 stars & a great YELP review. He wants people's business without blaming the weather & being rude. read more

billy is a mechanic NOT a parts changer like most other places who just want all your money read more

My wife brought in a old beater 2006 Honda Civic that needed a starter. Instead of asking if we wanted a 3rd party starter, they put in a $300 OEM starter on a car worth $1500. O'Reilly's had one for $129. They then charged 21/2 hours for labor for a job that couldn't have taken more than 1/2 hour. My wife ended up paying $600 for a starter for a beat up car. I think they took advantage of a woman. If I had been there, this gouging would have never taken place. They said they could charge 2/12 hours because it says so on a piece of paper in a book. Beware if you are a sweet old lady bringing in a car expecting honest, ethical work. read more

They are veryProfessional, Friendly and best of all HONEST....as a woman I feel we need more auto places like this...Great customer service and you never come out with a second problem...they never try and say something else is wrong with your vehicle to boost up cost like many places do...They repair what is neededandyou never have to worry because they do it right!!! Thanx Billy Lowery Automotive!!!! read more

Our family has used Billy Lowery for years. We've never had any problem with them and they get the job done at a fair price. They are honest and always tell you upfront the price and what needs to be done. We don't live in the Pasadena area anymore and made the mistake of trying a place closer to where we live. Never again! Now, we always make the drive there anytime we need our cars repaired. Thanks Bill Lowery Automotive for being a Five Star business. read more
