This place has earned its 5 stars. Well known and regarded in the area, and for a reason. Fair pricing, quality work, and honest mechanics. They've helped me with three different issues this last calendar year and have won my trust, which is hard won after being deceived by other mechanics in my younger years. I almost don't want to spread the word too far so they don't become too crowded, ha! But they've totally earned every five star review including mine! read more

Happy Motoring is a very trustworthy mechanic with great service and quality of work. I first used them over a year ago and they replaced an electronic control module (ECM) on the car. I hadn't had any issues with the vehicles transmission since and the price was very fair. This week I had issues with power steering where it would work intermittently. I brought the vehicle in worried I might need to drop hundreds or more on a 13 year old car. The shop identified the issue as a loose connection on the battery terminal and tightened it down at no charge. For all I knew, they could have easily said it was something else and charged hundreds to fix or at the very least charged me for 1/2 an hour of labor, but they didn't. Look no further for a quality mechanic with integrity. read more

This place and the owner are all very Honest people! I know they do amazing work at a reasonable cost. Very fair!

Always straight forward and a fair price! Theres no point in going anywhere else, go here:)

We have used happy motoring and other repair shops in Wylie. Our experience every time has been A+. The quality of their work and the fact that they are actually honest about what needs to be done is refreshing for a repair shop. Brian and his crew are our go to mechanic's for as long as we are here. read more

Honestly and quality work. I've been doing business with these guys for several years. Good group of people. Doesn't try to sell you stuff you don't need. read more

I was told by another auto shop that my car needed some costly service work done. I brought my car into Happy Motoring for a second option. So glad I did as I only needed a minor tweak that was not nearly as extensive as the other shop told me. Knowing that Happy Motoring is an honest and reliable shop will have me using them for all other service items that come up. read more

I have been using Brian for over 10 yrs, never disappointed in his service, my family has used him, my best friends, I would recommend him to anyone. if I have problem, I call my sons, they say Call BRIAN! Love that guy like a SON! Thank You Brian for always being there for me! God Bless read more

Called needing assistance with a check engine light and a couple other things. I enjoyed my experience. They were friendly and quick, and they informed us on the best options, and didn't perform or charge us for unnecessary services. I highly recommend Happy Motors. read more

Brian at Happy Motoring has been and will continue to be my "Go To" for all of my auto repair!! Such an all-around great guy and he knows autos!! Knowledgeable. Fair and Honest. Friendly. Addresses all my concerns. A Wealth of Knowledge. Reasonable pricing. I highly recommend Happy Motoring for all your auto repair needs! Takes a lot of worry off of auto repairs.... Thanks Brian for being the Best of Wylie!! read more

The name Happy Motoring is new to the Wylie area, But Brian the owner and lead mechanic has 30yrs+ working on all type of vehicles. His shop is very clean and if you need to wait for a repair he has a very clean decorated waiting room. There are lost of cool model cars in his front cabinet and really awesome art deco style automotive pictures on the walls. I have several vehicles that he has done work on. They have had all kinds of differant problems like, wiring , brakes, complete front-end rebuilds, check engine diagnosis, and things I thought I could do myself but ended up needing him to fix and repair right(lesson learned stick to what you know!") The great thing is He's honest and WILL NOT try to sell you something your vehicle does not need. When he if finished with your vehicle he always says "HAPPY MOTORING!!" hence the name. If your in business for yourself you know how hard it is to get started and grow. And if your not in business for yourself try supporting a local small business the quality will be your reward. read more

Another update. We still go to Happy Motoring for everything we need when it comes to car repair. We are still very happy with the service and the prices. I don't pause in enough in life to be thankful for the good things, so I'm taking a moment now to say that I'm thankful to have an excellent place to take our vehicles, with skilled mechanics that do a great job for a great price. Once we found Happy Motoring, we have used them time and again for several vehicles and for many years. We even followed them when they moved from their old location. We have recommended friends and family - some who don't live in Wylie - who have also been very pleased with the work done. I highly recommend Happy Motoring for honest, reliable car repair. read more

I pulled into this shop, thinking I had a front end issue. One of the mechanics spotted my bad tire, instantly. Instead of putting it on the rack and finding several hundred dollars worth of repairs, they directed me to a tire shop. I replaced the tire and the issue was resolved. Now,I have a place to take my car, when it does have a problem. read more

I have relied on Brian with Happy Motoring for a while. He is a honest guy who does quality work. Please read that again, because it is a hard thing to find. Definitely recommend this guy, and his shop. read more

Very friendly, honest business. Was recommended by a friend to visit this business for car repairs after going to the dealership for a vehicle recall. They were able to get me in the next day and finished within a few hours. Even caught something the delearship failed to mention to me. I've told my friends about this business and will definitely come back soon. I felt the owner was honest and up front with me with a fair price and quality work. read more

Dealership was going to charge me $1K more than Happy Motoring. Turns out, dealership was going to fix the wrong thing! Bryan and Justin identified and repaired the real issue and saved me money. And they were super fast. I'm taking all my cars here going forward. Almost hate to leave a good review because I selfishly don't want them to get too busy! LOL But they deserve 5+ stars. read more

I can't say enough good things about this business. Bryan is a super great guy to work with. Always honest, doesn't try to oversell. Explains the situation and then lets you decide. Seems very knowledgeable about all types of cars, as well. We've had multiple vehicles there, and he always finds the problem fast, and fixes it well. I would highly recommend this mechanic to anyone looking for a solid fix at a fair price. read more

First, let me start off by saying I don't normally do positive YELP reviews. I'm guilty of being one of those that expect good service, but will complain about poor service. Second, I know enough about cars to work on them myself. I'm not a mechanic by trade, just for hobby. I can count on one hand how many times I've taken a car to a mechanic (not counting oil changes). So it was difficult for me to find a mechanic for my 2003 civic. A local parts house suggested HAPPY. I think the comment from the guy behind the counter was "I don't let anyone work on my truck, but I will take it to HAPPY." I called them at 7:30 Monday morning, half expecting to hear something like "can you bring in the car this afternoon?" or "i'm booked right now, bring it to me tomorrow." Instead I heard "bring it to me now." I told him I would drop it off sometime in the morning. When I arrived the owner (Brian?) was already walking out saying "is that the mis-firing civic?" He took me into the office to get the keys and info. But more importantly, he wanted to know what was wrong with the car. HE ACTUALLY LISTENED to everything I told him what the car was doing, and what I had done. He asked questions! Many mechanics will just get the info then say "ok, leave me the keys and we'll take a look at it." You want your doctor to ask a lot of questions, so why wouldn't a mechanic do the same? HAPPY works on all types of cars. He had everything from a new, exotic Lotus, a Honda Odyssey minivan, and a classic El Camino. He was fair and honest. I hope this review helps someone like me, who hesitates taking their car to a mechanic because they feel a mechanic will just try and get more money from them and not do a good job. Give Brian and HAPPY automotive a try. I guarantee I will be returning for even jobs I may feel comfortable doing myself, but I know my money will be well spent having it done at HAPPY. read more

I started using Happy Motoring years ago on the suggested reference of a single female friend of the family. My wife and I would not consider going anywhere else. Brian and his team has worked on all our vehicles, our son's vehicles and we have referred many family members and friends to Happy Motoring. I have always been pleased with their work. They charge a far price and stand behind their work. And I've never felt like they were trying to sell me on work that was not necessary. ***** 5 Star Customer Service***** read more

Did a great job, fair pricing as well. These are extra words that I had to write do my review would be long enough. read more

Had our new motor to him on Monday and had our truck back Wednesday. So far running great! Very impressed!

The owner Bryan is the best....he has been taking care of me for years! He is my go to mechanic whenever I'm in a pinch! I rarely give anyone 5stars but this place deserves it! The prices are reasonable fir sure and I highly recommend you come here for any work in your vehicles! read more

Happy Motoring - Best place ever!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Wylie, Texas

See all

I will literally not take my vehicle to anyone else. Brian is a fantastic mechanic - was able to think outside box and find the problem that we were having with our Tahoe. While others continued to try and sell me a variety of parts that may or may not have been the issue, Brian took the time (and had the necessary knowledge) to discern what the root of the problem actually was and had me back on the road with no further problem. Plus, he did it at a more than reasonable price and was super fast. I have called him in trouble on a couple of occasions and his response is ALWAYS, "Bring it over to me." He works us in and gets us back on the road quickly. Unlike so many national franchise garages, he has never taken advantage of the fact that I am a woman who knows absolutely nothing about cars and tried to up-sell me extra unnecessary parts or services just to make a buck. Brian obviously has a passion for cars, but he also genuinely cares about his customers. Give him a try. You will not be disappointed. Oh... and his restrooms are the cleanest I've ever seen in any business... read more

Brian is the best and most honest mechanic in town. I Have used his services for many years. I recommend him to all my friends. NEVER been disappointed. read more

Brian -- What a great guy and the other workers there also are nice. I pulled up at 4:15 yesterday without an appointment. Never been here before but have driven by many times. I have a little not expensive battery cable problem that needs fixed. So, I pop in, expecting to have to bring the car back so they can look at it, and expecting the well if this then this $$... Brian and his worker came out right away, looked at the battery cables, cut a few pieces of tape off, clean it up, put a new connector on the battery or something. All while I waited, very nice and 20 mins later the cost was only $20. I know my first experience was not major work but Brian and his team were great, quick and seemed to know what they are doing. I will take my old Honda Accord there for any small fixes and I'll give them an oppty to fix the big stuff also, fingers crossed no big stuff is necessary! Brian and company are good home town folks that provide excellent and personal service. Give them a try! read more

I'm not sure if I ever review this place or not. But Brian is a honest guy and does great work. He's treated me fairly for years...

I have been using Happy Motoring for all my auto repair needs for several years now. Brian is extremely knowledgable and very reasonable.

Performed excellent work on my pickup! The cost was much less than other places I called. They also got me in quickly and were very informative. read more

WOW is about all I can say about this place. It is not your typical sleazy car shop. From the moment I walked in, it was a great experience. Rex met me at the counter and asked what was going on with my car and said he could take a quick look, and I was like...."NOW? Really? I don't have to leave it?" Within a couple of minuites, Brian came back in and had diagnosed my problem, and it wasn't the starter or the alternator as 2 other mechanics has told me, but just needed a new battery. That was fantastic news. Not only that, he said he had already ordered the battery, and it would be there within a few minutes. Another WOW..."I DONT's have to leave my car for hours on end for you to fix it moment." I had several other questions about repairs that mechanics had said I needed. His answer was "your car has 160K miles on it....you don't need to fix those things unless you REALLY wanted to spend the money." Thank you Happy Motoring for making this "I'm scared to take my car to the shop because they are going to give me a long list of things that I need to fix" chick into an, "OK, I can take care of that" chick....I will be back!!! Thanks Brian. read more

So glad we found Happy Motoring! Bryan has worked on my Husband's truck and we were happy with the service that was provided. We went back there recently because the air conditioning in my vehicle went out and he took a look at it and gave me a call back to tell me that I need to check the factory warranty on the vehicle since he believes it is still under warranty. I checked and thankfully it was! It didn't even cross my mind to check that before bringing it in. I appreciate his honesty and helping me save money even if it means him loosing out on servicing my vehicle! It's such a nice relief to know that there are still good and honest people out there who run their business this way!! read more

I've taken my vehicles here several times and always get great service. Bryan is such a great guy and a straight shooter. No excessive costs and he fixes what needs to be fixed and never tries to nickel and dime you to death. His turn around rate is awesome also. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Thanks Bryan and all the staff at Happy Motoring!! read more

My car quit on me on a Saturday night. Luckily at a major Auto Parts Store. The Technician took a look at it and immediately diagnosed it. He charged me up enough for me to make it home and I had my car towed on Monday to Happy Motoring. I spoke with Brian over there and he fixed me right up. My car was repaired and ready for pickup before Lunch on Tuesday!!! Neat Clean Place. Friendly Service...I recommend Happy motoring for all your Auto Repair needs!!!!! read more

If you want to get your car fixed somewhere where they will not try to sell you everything under the sun, then go to Brian! He runs an old school shop where you will not be "scripted." Yes, that is what the large chains and dealers are doing. They have a script they read you and a list of items to sell based on what breaks. Brian is honest and fair and inexpensive. He works on our Chevrolets and BMW read more

they are honest and very knowledgeable. price is reasonable, i like the fact that they break down the itemized receipt for parts and labor.

Have been going to Bryan for several years now. Today picked up booger of a car and it runs perfectly now without breaking the bank. Really appreciate the speedy repair and fair prices there. read more

Great service!! We were referred to see Rex and Brian when we had an issue with one of our cars. We took it to Happy Motoring and they did a great job! A couple weeks later, we took another car in to have them look over it. My husband and I couldn't believe the price! Any where else it would have been double...or triple! We will be taking our 3rd car in next week for new brakes. We will definitely be using Brian, Rex, Lee and the other guys as our new mechanics from now on! Definitely recommend this place!! Very reasonable on pricing! Thanks guys! read more
