Back again- first time coming anything more than an oil change. My alternator went out, I was going to do it myself but called Ed's for a quote and was surprised how reasonable it was considering what I priced the part at. I dropped my car of an hour later (Saturday). Monday morning my car was ready for pick-up. When I received the bill it was exactly what was quoted over the phone (car runs great so far too). This place is excellent. I feel very lucky to have an honest and reliable mechanic within walking distance if anything should happen again. Honest, fair, and friendly- I'd recommend them to my mother. read more

I would leave -5 stars if I could. Horrible place don't recommend they will tell you your issue is fixed and it absolutely is not. The mechanics aren't up to date with newer vehicles and just do a sloppy job. My engine mount had broken and broke a couple parts on the way down and instead of ordering new parts and replacing them which is what they charged for. They instead welded everything together making a huge metal blob mess that took my dealership a very hard and expensive time to fix. When the engine mount broke again. Every time I went in for an oil change or any service the price was different and if my boyfriend would go in it was a completely different price from that. Stay away read more

I guess it's time for me to update my review for Ed's Car Care. This is, by far, the most convenient place for me to go because I can literally walk to and from this place no problem. This mean, I can drop off the car and then walk home. However this is not why I upgraded my review for the place. I've come to Ed's a few times after my original review which I had written after I got my car inspected here. Since then, I've had them change my oil, put new brake pads and rotors on the car (labor only), and just general check up and whatnot. I usually deal with a guy named Peter. Real cool guy and up front with the pricing. In addition, he doesn't try to upsell you on anything. He gives you a quote on what you want done, and that's it. If you ask him to check for anything else that needs repairing, he'll do it and then he'll tell you how much it'll cost. The last time I came here, I needed new rotors and pads installed on my baby. I had purchased all the necessary parts and I just needed someone to put them on. In all honesty, I could have put them on myself but I was just being lazy, so like a good chea.. I mean, frugal Asian guy, I looked up different car repair shops on Yelp and started calling around to get a quote. These were the places I called and how much they would have charged me. All prices are for all four wheels. - Ed's = $120 CASH or $130 with credit card - SG Auto = couldn't get through. I kept playing phone tag with them. http://www.yelp.com/biz/sg-autos-houston - Scott's Auto Repair = $130 labor + $22 shop charge = $152 and I had to come in for them to be able to give me a quote. The guy that was helping was real nice, though. http://www.yelp.com/biz/scotts-auto-repair-houston - Hare repair = $240 I came in to ask for a quote on something else but the owner told me that I didn't have any problem. I asked for the labor quote at the same time. Outstanding owner, but too expensive for me. http://www.yelp.com/biz/hare-repair-houston - HCS Automotive = $240 JUST FOR TWO! WTF?! http://www.yelp.com/biz/hcs-automotive-houston - Top Tech = $140 http://www.yelp.com/biz/top-tech-houston - Brake Check = ???? The guy I spoke to on the phone wanted me to come in for a quote. But they assured me that it would take at least two hours just to replace the pads. Replacing the rotors would take longer. The labor charge is $75/hour. Seriously? http://www.yelp.com/biz/brake-check-houston-24 So, after calling all these places, I decided to go to Ed's for the price and the convenience. I left my car there at 3:10 pm and I walked to the gym to work out. I came back to the shop around 4:30 pm and waited probably another 15 minutes and my car was ready to go. I asked them to inflate my tires also. No problem. So, my brake job was done in less than two hours! Brake Check said it'd take two hours just to replace the damn pads! Seriously?! I'm shaking my damn head right now. My only gripe with Ed's is when I asked them to do my oil change (labor only.) They still charged me $17 when they do their regular oil change for $19 and sometimes $17 with coupon. So, if I'm providing the oil and the oil filter, why am I still being charged $17? Come on, hook a brother up and maybe I'll upgrade my rating to a five. read more

I'm back again! This is my go-to place for an inspection, oil change, etc. So now my husband surprised me with a full tune up for my car. We dropped the car off close to 9am Monday morning. Charlie (or Charles) was so nice, he offered to drive us home after we dropped the car off since we were going to walk back to our apartment down the street. We declined because we wanted to enjoy the outside scenery and get a quick workout in. My car was ready around 4pm (I didn't know tune ups too that long but I'm sure they had a full days worth of work). We received a very reasonable price for it. read more

These guys tightened my oil cup so tight that take 5 oil change broke my filter housing. Walmart couldn't even get it off. The whole car was shaking when they tried to get the filter off. Don't cheap out on oil changes guys. -5 Stars read more

Charlie, Peter and they're team are great. I have been coming here since 2005 and have sent other friends to them. They don't try to rip you off, instead they try to find ways to help save you money and not do unnecessary work. They're prices and service is second to none. They also have a body shop. Great guys...! read more

It is so refreshing to find a business that does what they say they will do without any bs!! Took my Z4 in for flush/fill and oil change. Car ready before noon!!! Price was very fair. Will go to them again for other vehicles. I highly recommend. read more

Got my car serviced here for an alternator, starter and oil change. These guys here are friendly and the service is super fast. I've not had to come back for shoddy work and to top it off their prices are very reasonable. I would recommend these guys if you are looking for consistent mechanics that won't rip you off. read more

Peter and Charlie have been taking care of my car for awhile now. I recently brought my car in to replace my break pads, I was in and out in a flash. Very accommodating and friendly staff! read more

I went to fix a leak in my oil pan and kept getting nickel and dime'd to add little things here and there, which eventually led to a much higher bill than originally thought. A few months later, my engine info said I had an oil leak. I went to try and get it looked at after calling and seeing if it was a good time to come in because it had a year warranty on the labor. I waited 45 minutes and no one had even looked at my car yet. Needless to say, I left and will take my business elsewhere. Faulty work that wasn't backed with the promised warranty. read more

Super fast service. Professional team, efficient work, GREAT, reasonable pricing. Comfortable and clean waiting area. Got an oil change and a state inspection, out in less than 30 minutes. Car is running perfectly! read more

This mechanic and the shop is great!!! I took my suburban here and my hubby took his Mercedes! They are great at communication, joyful, kind, get the job done at a fair price. No more dealerships for service!!! read more

My boyfriend's co-worker told us about this place for a quality/professional/affordable oil change. (Serious word of mouth, wouldn't you say so?) Who knew you could have so many frustrations when getting an oil change? As a female, it is nearly impossible to get any kind of automobile work done without someone telling you 900++ things are wrong with your car or that something costs more than you expected it to. I mean, I am just getting an oil change, but you'd be surprised. Their prices are listed on the wall. They have a beautiful pup that hangs out in the waiting area. It's never taken me more than 15 minutes. They are kind. What more could you ask for? $50 bucks for a synthetic oil change. read more

I had a good overall experience. I would recommend. The owner seems like an honest man.

Great & friendly staff. Quick and thorough inspection. Will definitely be returning for all of my car's needs.

Fast and friendly. I just had an inspection but I plan to try them for other services.

I read the reviews & they are accurate. Peter is responsive & courteous. My 2001 4Runner is running like new. I highly recommend Ed's Car Care read more

My parents go here often to fix their mechanical issues. It's always been a pleasure going here and the staff is extremely professional and respectful. They've never overcharged and they've always solved any problems with the vehicles quite quickly. I'd definitely recommend everyone to go to Ed's Car Care! The dog in the office is also very sweet :) read more

I will never go back. Went to get my pump replaced for the steering wheel for my Buick. Took my car there at 1 and left around 6. My boyfriend had to go back there to find out what was the problem and the mechanic didn't know what he was doing. My boyfriend had to help out which is sad. Right after I left ten minutes later my car was smoking from the steering fluid liquid and it's back to how i brought it. They rushed towards the end and the mechanic didn't even bleed it. My boyfriend had to finish the work. All the money I paid wasn't even worth it. Don't recommend anyone. It was one of the easiest things to do and they didn't even do the job right. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I went in there to get an oil change and that was it. When they give me my car back, the light is still blinking saying I need an oil change (I have a 2009 Honda CRV), so I go back in and tell him. He then goes out and fixes it, and comes and gives me my keys. Well now my car won't start. So, once again, I go inside, he takes my keys..and comes back a couples minutes later. I get in my car, and the light is STILL blinking saying I need an oil change. I complain again, and he comes back and says it's fixed. Well I get home, go inside to change, come back out...and now my car won't start. Again. I call and ask wtf is going on and he says that my car was already broken when he got it. Why he didn't tell me, I asked? He said he "assumed I knew my car was broken." Wtf. So yeah, I now have to pay to get my car towed to my dealership to get it fixed. Thanks for nothing. read more

It was interesting to see the reviews for this business, it seems they are mostly 5 stars with a few bad ones sprinkled in. My experience was somewhere in between. I don't get it, everyone is raving about how the came through and fixed their car without giving a lot of details. Hmmm, isn't that what they do? I had an appointment on Saturday so it's nice they were able to fix my car that day, but I was ahead of the rush anyway. I needed a tuneup (which these days consists of changing the spark plugs and maybe adjusting the idle) and also the Check Engine light was on. So they needed to find the problem with that and fix it too. Apparently the part for that was about $50. So it all came too a little under $300. So it seems like they charged about the going rate for an independent shop. I didn't feel ripped off but I didn't feel like I got an incredible deal either. Unlike the other reviewers I wasn't blown away by their professionalism and service. They were ok. True, they didn't try to upsell me and did follow my directions, maybe that's why I rounded them up to 4 stars. Finally when my car was ready and I came to pick it up I had to wait like 15 minutes for them to get the receipt together and check me out. And the receipt wasn't very detailed to see what they had done. I suppose they were tired or just enjoying the moment toward the end of the day. Anyway it gave me plenty of time to pet the dog. I'm not sure if I dealt with the head guy or not. I may have talked with him on the phone. But it seems like this place is mostly a bunch of young guys who, from what I can see, are honest and trying to do a good job. Apparently with some supervision. read more

Clean shop did a great job for us! They quote a price 35% less than the Audi dealer and did MORE! Honest, straightforward owners! We'll be back! read more

My best friend recommended I take my Infinity for a dent repair on my fender. Quickly it was assessed, with a price quote. AND a Two day turnaround time. They were very confident about their quality work. It is a relief to know there are men still working with pride. The job was completed on time. The fender looks brand new. Thank you all guys. B. Lazarte read more

Very satisfied with the service I recieved here. Peter and his team are honest and friendly. Great customer service. Came in this morning and was greeted kindly by Carlos. Peter diagnosed my car within minutes and had all my vehicle issues fixed and also did an inspection by the end of the day for a very decent price. Keep up the great work guys, I'll definitely be back. read more

I took my 2003 Cadillac to Ed's Car Care and they did great mechanical and body damage work on this low mileage (60,000) beast. Ed's Car Care organized a rental car and their staff was very friendly and professional. Charlie is a very good businessman. Yes,the dog is great and at their body shop location there is another dog. Fortunately they seemed to like me in the daytime as I was with their owners. read more

I enjoy coming to get my car repaired because the men don't take advantage of you. Peter is extremely helpful. They provide a straight forward quote and give you a realistic date to pick up your vehicle. I have priced them over many shops in the area and they are always cheaper. I've been going here almost two years and I highly recommend it. The only reason they didn't get five stars is because I don't like the dog walking around unleashed and dog hair all over the furniture. Any women would appreciate this shop. I will be back. read more

I'm not from Houston so when I tried to look for trustworthy auto shops, I came across this place (thank you Yelp; you are a lifesaver). I called quite a few places to get quotes for multiple repairs to my car. This place was the most reasonable auto shop. After going there on 2 trips, I can say that I trust them to take care of my car. They don't charge for diagnostic (I think) but then again, I got 2 diagnostic tests done free at a dealership. Very reasonable prices and reasonable people. I had to wait a couple of hours the 2nd trip, but they lent me a car to drive to go do errands nearby. I will definitely go back to this place! Also, the owners are educated in fixing Mercedes and BMWs because they enjoy doing it. I would trust them to fix luxury cars of any kind. read more

I am a bit disappointed after taking my car here 3-4 times for the same issue. We kept on replacing part that was always working fine. Although they didn't charge me for subsequent visits but taking my car was definitely time consuming. Charlie sounds really confident and always stays true to his promise. Other mechanics need some improvement. They do give some discount when paid by cash read more

Charlie and his guys are very nice. I think Charlie has done a lot of work for KBR or Halliburton or maybe even something like military contracted service or something?? You'd have to ask him to explain but he has a tremendous amount of service rewards for this on his wall. I've taken my car to him every time I needed work done and he's had really good referrals for minor body work that I wanted. I've not been disappointed by Charlie and his team yet by their exceptional services. Thank you!! read more

These guys are awesome! They always come through for me on whatever I need. Oil changes are quick and cheap but with a variety of oils to choose from. Plus they have an adorable pet! read more

Never had a bad experience here for an oil change or for cosmetic work on my vehicles. Great service -- speedy, communicative and reasonably priced! The friendly office dogs that are always there make the wait more enjoyable too. read more

I was blown away from the customer service. Someone immediately approached my car to get me started with maintenance. They're very reasonable and the wait time was great. Thanks so much for fixing my car problems. I'll be back. read more

Amazing customer service! I had so many different things I need fixed but only so much to spend they helped me get priority things fixed and still be in my budget! I highly recommend coming here for great service and fair pricing! read more

I don't usually review unless it's pretty bad or pretty good and this place Is amazing! Took 15 min flat for my inspection. No 2hr wait like firestone, everyone was nice and helped me as soon as I walked in and kept checking on me. It was a flat rate price, no you need to pay for this before we pass you kinda thing, as I've experienced before with firestone and my car is only 3 yrs old , no miles, and a warranty. .. But back to the review, I'm glad I chose to try this place it was my first time and won't be my last! read more

I came to this place based solely on Yelp reviews so I was ecstatic when I wasn't disappointed. I came for a basic oil change which was no more than $28!! I was in and out in about 15 mins. The guys in the front were nice and the gentleman who changed my oil was really nice. I'd recommend them and when I need something minor done I'll probably check them out first. read more

I came to this place expecting to get ripped off because almost all mechanic shops rip off women and old people. That was not the case. The Guys are so friendly and helpful and the prices are VERY reasonable. They fixed multiple things wrong with my fiances car for a great price and anywhere else he would have been charged double and I ALWAYS go to them for any little thing and they always do a great job. Even when my car has had to be there all day, they take me to work and pick me up and my car is ready! The Owner is a great and understanding guy and his workers are very cool! I will always go back! read more

Thumbs up! Great service and really sweet staff. I came here for an oil change on a Friday afternoon and was in and out. They have a cute German Shep that sleeps in the office who will come out and greet customers every once in a while. I'll be back. :) read more

These guys are so nice and helpful!! They go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure their customers are satisfied. I would recommend them anyone. read more

Took my Toyota Prius to find out what was wrong with it. It took them about 24 hours to find out and fix it, and to change the oil. Could not have been more pleased about customer service and professionalism in that car care place. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friend whenever someone needs a good place where one's car can be taken care of. read more
