Serious Concerns with Billing Practices & Unprofessional Conduct My experience with Sterling McCall Acura's service department raises serious concerns regarding both customer treatment and potential insurance billing practices. This specifically involves service advisor Antonio Mora and service manager Don Morrell. I brought my 2024 Acura MDX in due to a significant water intrusion issue that had already resulted in visible mold forming under the carpet. This is not a cosmetic issue -- it is a health and safety concern. From the beginning, the level of professionalism was unacceptable. Antonio Mora was consistently rude, dismissive, and uncooperative, to the point that even my State Farm insurance adjuster documented his behavior as rude in their official report. Now to the most concerning issue -- inconsistent and questionable pricing: Initial estimate (customer pay): * Water leak repair (including labor): $975.17 * Replace all wet/mold-damaged carpet: $2,353.05 * Replace missing rear carpet: $593.70 * Total: $3,921.92 After filing a claim with State Farm, the scope of work was reduced, yet the pricing structure changed in a way that raises serious red flags. Insurance-approved estimate: * $3,510 to repair the leak and clean the carpet * NO carpet replacement included Despite a reduction in scope, I was told that labor hours had significantly increased (for example, allegedly 10 hours just to remove the headliner) -- even though the original quote to repair the leak including labor was only $975.17. This creates a clear and troubling discrepancy: * Less work being performed * Significantly higher labor allocation * A similar total payout from insurance This raises the question of whether labor hours and repair costs were intentionally adjusted once insurance became involved in order to maximize reimbursement. Meanwhile, I am left with a vehicle that still contains mold-affected carpet, meaning the underlying issue impacting my health and vehicle condition has not been properly resolved. To be clear: * The dealership has received thousands of dollars * The repair was downgraded from replacement to "cleaning" * I am left with unresolved damage and potential health risks This is not acceptable, and it warrants further scrutiny. Due to these inconsistencies, I am exploring escalation options, including: * Filing a formal complaint with Acura Corporate * Submitting documentation to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) * Reporting the matter to the Texas Attorney General Consumer Protection Division * Requesting a full audit of the claim and repair billing through State Farm I strongly advise others to proceed with caution when dealing with this service department. Transparency, consistency, and professionalism were completely lacking in this experience.

Look at those smiling faces!

We had such a great experience at Sterling McCall Acura all thanks to Muhammad Shafiqui. My husband and I have been looking for an Mdx base since we moved to the area in July. When my husband started reaching out to different dealerships Muhammad was the only sales consultant who kept in contact with my husband when the base finally came in. He cintacted us as soon as the car got delivered to give it a test drice. By the end of the night, we drove home with our new 2023 mdx. He was amazing to work with and even fought to get us a great price for our trade in. He wasn't pushy and was completely understanding. He stayed later after hours since we came near closing time. Thank you Muhammad for all your help! He was so great that my parents even came back the VERY NEXT DAY to buy their own mdx. We couldn't be happier with our experience.

Dammy and Darrell provided great customer care and helped us find the perfect RDX for my son. Darrell Babineaux took 30 minutes to sit with us in the RDX and go over all questions and concerns. He showed us all the controls and made us feel like this was the car for us. Darrell is kind and personable and will take his time to help you with the process too. Highly recommend!

See all

I have always been an advocate for third-party mechanics with a good reputation versus chain stores…read moreor dealers for auto repairs. Lam's is an example of one of these mom and pop owned shops with a highly seasoned mechanic and offers solid customer service. They rely on repeat and referral business, while not being not commission driven, and so they won't try to upsell you on things you don't need. Anything Lam finds to be a potential issue, he spends time to show and explain to you why it may need repairing. That is a sign of a good mechanic - the opposite would be a random Jiffy Lube kid telling you your transmission is busted and needs a $1000 repair, or that all of your air filters are dirty (while they show you a random old dirty filter that's not even from your car). Repairs that Lam has done for our family including replacing brake rotors, pads, struts/mounts, shocks, timing belt & water pump, radiator, transmission/oil/brake/power steering fluid changes, power steering pump, valve cover gasket, PCV valve. Lastly, because I have used Lam as a primary mechanic for about 10 years, starting with my first car - a 1997 Acura Integra to my next two - 2004 Civic and 2007 RAV4, I have never had any major issues or surprise repairs - Lam has certainly identified potential issues and things to consider replacing within xyz miles but his labor pricing is VERY fair and he allows customers to bring their own parts (just be sure they are 100% compatible with your exact model). Highly recommended!

I decided to go to Lam's Auto Repair per a friend's recommendation and I'm really glad I did. Mr. Lam was able to inspect my car after I walked in on a Saturday morning. After 15 minutes he told me what was wrong and what needed to be done. I unfortunately also bought the wrong headlights but he was able to find some to replace them with in the shop. I decided to walk over to the lovely restaurants nearby while I waited and I was luckily able to get my car fixed within hours. His prices are very reasonable and he was very kind. The customer service was definitely worth driving across town for!

Mixed bag of an experience. I've been looking for a local mechanic and received several estimates,…read morebut I went with this shop because of the distance and reviews. Their pricing is on the medium-to-high side for the area, though still cheaper than the dealer. I needed an oil leak repaired. There was an $80 inspection fee before repair, and it didn't count toward the total repair cost. I did appreciate how quickly they handled everything and that they offered a ride home. When I picked up my vehicle, I had some questions about my bill. I politely asked about the labor charges because I was confused by how high they seemed. It showed $80 in labor to fill the vehicle with oil, even though it was already in the shop and had been drained after the repair. While my service advisor was reviewing it, another advisor helping someone else made an unsolicited snarky remark: "We have to charge labor--what, you want us to fill it with your used oil?" I had no issue paying for new oil; the labor charge just didn't make sense to me. My advisor found that it had been entered in error and removed most of that labor charge. There was no apology. I'd like to think the mistake would have been caught even if I hadn't said anything. As for the quality of the repair, it's hard to say for now--everything seems fine, and time will tell. I also later learned the repair should have a two-year warranty, which was never mentioned. Overall, I left feeling upset and irritated by the experience.

Best and most professional mechanic I have ever worked with!…read more I called Andre on a Monday is regards to my battery light coming on and off. I explained to him what the car was also doing. Without hesitation, he informed me of what he thought the problem was. Sure enough, his pre-diagnosis over the phone was correct. I had originally wanted to set up an appointment for the following weekend. However, I had some free time a few days later and without hesitation he agreed to meet me that same day I asked if we could move the appointment to an earlier date. Upon meeting, we shook hands and he went straight to work. In about 1 1/2 hours my car was ready to go! He had also found a part that I needed to replace ASAP, but the part was special order. It was such an easy thing to fix, that he taught me how to do it myself. From the beginning to the end, Andre is a top mechanic. He was honest, courteous, professional and even taught me how to do a simple fix myself so that I could save myself some money. All that tells me that he genuinely cares about his customers. Tisdell's Mobile Mechanic is in my number one mechanic to go to. I know you won't be disappointed!

I requested a quote and this was through the Yelp feature that 4 additional businesses responded to the request. Tisdell was one of them and had beat the other quotes. SINCE THEY HAD A 5 STAR ON YELP I DECIDED TO PURSUE THEM BUT THE RATING WAS SO DECEIVING! Red Flag 1: The spokesperson(or maybe the owner) Andre first asked me to communicate via text since her was not active on Yelp. Red Flag 2: Then when I asked him to schedule an appointment via voice, he had me say the agreed amount and that I agree to pay ( that was awkward, trust me). During this verbal agreement, he left out one of the services in the quote and when I asked for it he added another $100 to the cost! When confronted with the snapshot of the Yelp quote he agreed to the original quoted price and said that he misquoted but he will honor it. Red Flag 3: NO SHOW! Yes - he never showed up! Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I called to reschedule which he did. But guess what? He cancelled the day of the appointment. I decided to give it one last chance and rescheduled again. But this time, I WAS GHOSTED! I guess it wasn't worth all the effort after all!
