It's tough to find a reliable, honest mechanic, which is why I'm so glad I found Dennis. When my AC broke down in the peak of summer, I was dreading taking my car in because I didn't have a regular mechanic I trusted and thought I was going to pay thousands of dollars to get it fixed. When I went to Dennis Automotive, the first thing I noticed is that the people who brought their cars there had been doing so for decades! They swear by Dennis, and for good reason. The team checked my car and walked me through what was wrong - they took the time to flush my AC system multiple times. The service was affordable and quick. They explained things in detail. I brought my car back when I had an oil leak a few months later and received a similar level of service. I only have great things to say! Add me to the Dennis loyal customer base! read more

I have used Dennis Automotive forever like 20+ years. They are the best and very trustworthy. I bought an old Mercedes with low miles after 2 cars totaled. One totaled by drunk driver and the other totaled by someone that ran a stop sign. Denns even went to auction with me and helped me buy a car. I got the Mercedes that my sons and I called the tank. I kept it for 12 years and Dennis kept it running. You can no5 go wrong taking your car here. read more

Our experience has been great so far. We thought our AC compressor had gone out, but turns out it was the radiator fans. Then about two weeks later, decided to have the bodywork I've needed done on my 2013 Toyota, and I'm very pleased. It took a little longer than I'd hoped for, but very happy with all the work done and their prices are reasonable. They're my new auto repair shop now. read more

This is my third time taking my car in and while today is just maintenance, they've been outstanding every time I've brought it in. They're fairly priced, and there's always something to read if you have to wait, along with coffee and water. Phenomenal and honest service every single time. read more

Dennis has a great business, for many years. Robert (and I assume others) are very good mechanics. You can trust they will do things RIGHT and in these times, that is rare. They have a nice waiting area with coffee and a television, and the shop is walking distance to dozens of other shops on Westheimer. read more

Knew what the problem was, & executed It with grace. Definitely will be coming back for the finishing touches on my car. Thank you

I had first gone here when I needed to switch out my tires when I got a blowout, but my usual auto place didn't offer the service of throwing them out for me. I had purchased my new tires from Walmart since it was still under warranty, but they just gave me back my old tires to trash myself. My dad actually found this place for me doing a quick google search, and I stopped by just for that service. Quick, easy, and no frills! I had decided to give this place another go when I needed an oil change since they are located near my place, and I haven't looked back since! I now go to Dennis for any ol' problem with my car - state inspection, alignment, or any other anxiety-inducing emoji my car decides to show me on the dashboard. The workers are nice, reliable, and efficient! There really isn't a reason for you to not stop by if you need a car tune-up! read more

Hands down most honest mechanics I have ever found in Houston. They do great work! So thankful I went there and always will.

I truly believe God answers prayers. Since the Plandemic, I've had several personal obstacles and a pretty severe injury that kept me out of my car for over a year. With that being said, my Volvo didn't get much action! Went to get the diagnostic test then I found Dennis Automotive. This business is literally 2 minutes from my home. I used to pass by it everyday and wonder...ARE THEY GOOD OR BAD. As I pulled into the drive way I asked God to help me and send an angel my way and at that moment Robert walked out of the door!!! We chatted, I asked for some advise, and he pointed me in the right direction. After about 30 minutes I heard the revving of my engine that sounded like music to my ears. Have not heard that sound in a long time. The other positive reviews are accurate you feel the charm of this place and I loved all the books he has on display. The entire staff was warm, welcoming and funny! Have never had this experience at an automotive store in Houston. Ever. Thank you!! read more

I've been going to Dennis automotive since 2011, Robert and Sadeem are the best, they smartest technicians in town, I've never return to them on the same issue.

This place was a lifesaver for us and we are beyond grateful. Our tire had a screw in it and needed a patch asap as we were about to embark on our long drive home. They were super friendly and able to patch it with us in the car (A/C) in 10 minutes flat. Only $15. Amazing service!!! read more

I had a slight car 'emergency' yesterday (yes, week of Christmas) that was not a quick fix...but Dennis & his crew worked quickly, professionally, went above & beyond, and priced reasonably to get me back on the road within 24 hours. They were recommended to me and I DEFINITELY recommend them to all. Thanks crew!!! read more

I was pretty fortunate from the recent flooding we had but the damage I did have was to my car. Specifically water had gotten into the carpets on the floor. After having a mechanic check it out and suggest a range I should be looking for as far as pricing I got quotes from several places. I won't name the places but several would only take me if I used insurance to pay for it and were quoting double or triple what the mechanic suggested. I told Robert what service I wanted and received a fair quote. They got me in quick and got to work. And I actually got my car back much faster than I thought I would which worried me a little. I wondered if they sacrificed quality of work over getting in more cars since Houston was just then getting back to normal. Car has been great no issues. I would recommend coming here for any auto issues you might have if you are looking for a place. read more

Have had my cars serviced here for several years now. These visits have unfortunately become more frequent in recent months, as it seems my beloved '05 GTI is coming close to its expiration date. Sigh. I'm not in the habit of dropping f-bombs in my reviews, but "We Don't F**k Around" would constitute an apt slogan for this place. Ask for Robert--he'll set you straight, give you a fair price and fast, officious service. What more can you say about a neighborhood auto repair shop? These guys have definitely gotten me out of some automotive-related jams over the years... good people. read more

I used these guys to get my car windows tinted. The job was done perfectly and the cost was reasonable. I recommend this place for window tinting highly. My car is fairly new, so I've had no reason to get any service done yet. (2018 Honda Accord) read more

Last week I walked to my car to start my day...( the day after a huge flood where it took me 7 hrs to get home,) and lo and behold a flat tire. Now, I'm ready for work and don't need this hassle, I look up a close mechanic and Dennis is closest. I drove my car, slowly, the 1 mile or so and in 10 minutes I was back on the road. Today I have a radiator issue, guess where I'm going to take my vehicle. They treated me fairly at a reasonable price. Here's hoping I've found my new mechanic shop. Good job guys. read more

Robert is honest and trustworthy. They get the job done without upselling. Oil change, inspections and general automotive care.

Old school shop with lots of young blood managing. Knowledge of cars from every corner of the world is unparalleled. You can charge your phone, have a bottle of water and enjoy a snack in ac waiting room while you wait. They do it all from DWI installs and calibrations to oil changes. read more

I called to see if I could bring my car in for change oil in a busy morning. Very accommodating, quick service, professional, friendly staff. read more

Mr. Dennis was wonderful. I had a flat tire on my rental car that I didn't even know about . I was driving on the freeway & there was moderate traffic & a guy drove by & told me I had a flat tire. So, I yelp automotive & Dennis Automotive show up & I drove to it. I asked me. Dennis if he can take a look at my tire , so de did & said it's to dangerous to drive. I told him it was a rental & he told me to call them and I did. They told me it was going to be about 3 or 4 hours for them to come & fix it. I fly out at 5pm so I won't I asked them to talked to Mr. Dennis said , he'll fix it so I can drive it back to the rental place.. he saved us!! Thank you Mr. Dennis!!! read more

These are good, reliable, no BS and mostly honest I think. We get all are cars serviced here.

I have been coming to Dennis Automotive to have my car serviced for about a year. Since day one, the staff has been nothing but helpful. I am seen immediately and the prices have always been very fair. I've had oil changes done, engine issues serviced, a new altenator, and now I'm back due to air conditioner issues (my car, Raul, is a 2007 Mitsubishi Galant which requires a little more attention these days). I'm sure that I will be pleased with the service like always. Stop in, you won't be sorry! read more
