More than a decade ago, I brought my 2005 Ram 1500 to Modica Bros. after my A/C stopped cooling at…read moreidle. I would get cool air while driving but nothing but hot air when stopped. After a "thorough" inspection, I was told the entire A/C system needed to be replaced. The technician even joked that at least I wouldn't have to pay since it was a company truck, pointing at the magnets on the door. When I explained it was my personal vehicle, he "took another look" and suddenly said I only needed a new condenser and recharge at about half the price. That didn't sit right with me, so I paid the diagnostic fee and left. After talking with my wife, she told me about Bill's Garage in Port Neches, a shop highly recommended by her co-workers. I brought my truck there and spoke with Ricky. Even though they were extremely busy and couldn't get me in for a couple of weeks, he took a few minutes to look at it in the parking lot. He had me start the truck and turn on the A/C. When nothing happened, he reached in, tapped the fan a few times, and immediately the truck started blowing cold air. He explained there was nothing wrong with the condenser. The real issue was the radiator cooling fan or fan clutch not providing airflow at idle. He told me he could fix it for around $250, but also suggested I could buy the part myself for about $100 and replace it on my own. I did exactly that, and it fixed the problem completely. Fast forward to last August, I purchased a 2022 Chevy 2500 HD with about 45,000 miles from a Chevy dealership. Recently, I brought it back to the dealer for what I believed was a radiator leak. I was told it wasn't covered and was quoted $1,800 for a new radiator, along with a diagnostic fee. Once again, I took it to Bill's Garage. They pressure-tested the system and found the radiator was fine. The actual problem was a leaking A/C condenser, a far less expensive repair they could handle quickly. Over the years, I've trusted Bill's Garage with my vehicles, my wife's, and my kids'. They have consistently proven to be honest, fair, and highly skilled. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else.

Fast forward to today. My husband ran over something large and hard at 70 mph. Hit was so hard it popped the needle off of the speedometer in the dash. Managed to get it into see Joshua. Wasn't good news but he gave me 2 options. First was the minimum that needed to be done. Second was an additional item that really should be done. All said and done, more than I wanted to spend but I still feel he was very fair in his pricing. Been driving the van for a few days now and am very happy with the results. Plus, I have the peace of mind knowing I won't be chewing up my tires every few thousand miles. Just as a side note. I did research Cortez Car Care and discovered something amazing. They have been members of the BBB for 23 yrs this year and have not had one single complaint lodged against them in all that time. In any auto related field, especially repair/maintenance, that is a record to be very proud of. Just tells me that they are doing things right and have customer satisfaction very high on their priority list.

They are professional, keep you informed every step of the way, do great work, for a fair price, stand behind their work, and most of all are honest. I have spoken with the owner more than once, as it is family owned, and he is usually there. But one time that I spoke with him that stood out to me that they were different. My stepson's power steering stopped working. I called and I was about to have it towed in as it was parked at a restaurant. The owner got on the phone with me and asked me what year and model the car was. I told him, he asked me if the car had driven through any heavy puddles. I told him it had been raining, so I assumed so. He told me that model is notorious for the sensors getting wet and causing issues with the rack and pinion steering. He said, let it sit for a couple hours and dry out a bit. It should resolve the problem, and it did. He didn't have to tell me that. He could've let me have it towed in and just let it sit and dry and tell me he fixed it and taken me for a ride, but he didn't. That's honesty. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family, and to anyone else who reads this review.

Drove to the parking lot across the street after rcvn services to see what the working may have been spraying over, found a nail in the tire the worker was spraying over/chkn. Assuming because they were ready to close he did not find it important to mention the sight of the nail. Went back the following week to get the nail removed and have another alignment done. In btwn time I lost absolutely no air from the tire per psi. After rcvn the tire repair my tire began to loose air the same day per psi. Returned the following day to have the tire checked and instead of fixing the poor repair they claimed there was a new puncture. Without trying to explain the type of puncture/show it, they insisted I should get a new tire and that they could not repair it. I cannot wait to clear and close my account with Firestone.
