    Inside the shop. Waiting area.

    Every year I have to get our car in Houston inspected. Every January without fail! This year I wanted it done earlier so I don't have to hurry. John's Xpress service is an amazing place! Today, I was going to try and get the inspection for the registration renewal. I pulled into their always full lot and a guy came over expecting him to tell me to get off the parking area. I asked if they could do a vehicle inspection and to my surprise, he said, "sure, I can do it right now." He told me to go inside and wait for the car to be inspected. In less than 20 minutes, the young man came in and said that my car was ready. I paid for it and was told to check the paper work because there was a minor recall notice on my vehicle. Where in the Houston area can you find a service like that? This is one place that has always exceeded my expectations. They are a wonderful, friendly bunch of efficient hard working people. It's very much appreciated. Please stay the way you are always! There's not too many like you guys anymore. Thanks!

    Speedy service. Front desk is nice and the mechanics will usually come speak to you personally about the maintenance they did.

    Dents (2) on hood - this is after we used suction to pull it out. This was the worse one.

    Been here for inspections and a tune up previously. These were done well and in a timely manner. Always dealt with Peter. This time we dealt with Chris. The AC was out. Had to get a new compressor. Was supposed to be done the next day, ended up taking three days. Was told the dealership messed everything up, by sending wrong parts and incomplete parts, and made them run around all over town numerous times. Either way, it is done and the AC is working great! Only problem: dents in the front end of the hood as if someone with strong hands had slammed it closed. My bf called to let them know. Peter offered to correct it at their body shop or anything else to make it right. Just let the employees know to be careful in the future. I appreciated that Peter did try to remedy the situation. Also, the normal old oil change we get down the street vacuums the car, this place doesn't do that. Anyway, the cost came to almost $1,400.00, which wasn't too bad, when I researched the internet said the cost of parts with labor should be anywhere from $800 to $1,150.00. So the final cost was a little over a hundred dollars more than the higher end.

    Battery, Windows, Vacuum & Tire Rotation... What a scam!

    Was way too expensive, feel ripped off. Ask about prices before going or they may charge way more than you expect

    Came for a state inspection with no appointment. Took 15 minutes to complete and cost was $25.50. Quick and easy.

    Went for an oil change and met a great family owned business. Will definitely go back. Trustworthy, reliable, and well priced.

Rating: 8.1/10 The best thing about this place was that you literally stay in your car for the entire service. The attendant who I spoke to however was lackadaisical. Clearly going through the motions. Our interaction was quite robotic. Right down to the step by step up sell process that was clearly repeated over and over on every customer. Meh. I got in and out in no time and was even offered a cold bottle of water while I waited. Would I go again? Probably... if time was of consideration.

    As a young woman, this was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've had getting my car…read moreserviced. I came in for an oil change for my dad's car and explained multiple times that it wasn't my vehicle, which is why I didn't know the answers to some of their questions. Instead of acting professionally, employees made comments like "tell your daddy I'm the new mechanic now" and said I'd "make a great wife." They also repeatedly commented on my appearance and stared at me while servicing the car. Another employee even joked that "looks like she's not having it," and I responded that yes, I wanted to leave. The fact they could clearly tell I was uncomfortable and kept going anyway was incredibly inappropriate. Since they had already started the oil change, I felt stuck there until it was finished. Women should be able to get their cars serviced without being made uncomfortable by employees.
