    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!

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

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

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

    I dread trying to find a new place to get my car serviced. A quote doesn't always mean anything…read more Sometimes there are hidden charges. And finding a new place to get vehicle services as a woman is worse. If you know, you know. I chose Hare Repair based on their great reviews. I called to make an appointment and they are busy. You can't just pop in without notice and have your vehicle serviced. That is another good sign. First of all, Rhonda is the main point of contact before service (quotes, scheduling, etc.). She is a dream. She is responsive, nice, funny, understanding and knowledgeable. When I arrived the morning of my appointment, Rhonda was not in yet. No problem. Other people were there. I was greeted by my name, having never been there before. (I wish I had gotten his name. Also very nice and personable.). The gentleman who greeted me asked what I needed. I explained that I needed brakes work but I wasn't sure if I needed front, back or both. I added that I am getting ready to make a road trip through several different states and I want to make sure that my car is ship-shape. It ended up being a good thing that I mentioned that. Back to that later. I dropped off my car when they opened, 7am. I received a call from Hare Repair at 7:50am that informed me that I need front brakes and he gave me a price LESS than what I was originally quoted. Not a lot less, but less. How often does that happen? Great! I received a call around 10:15am informing me that my car was ready and they replaced a couple of external bulbs that were out. This is where it goes back to me mentioning the road trip. When I picked up my car Rhonda said, "You don't want any lights out on a road trip." No, they did not call me to ask if they could replace the bulbs at a cost. But, I appreciate that they were thinking of ME while out on my road trip. Yes, that is a little more money that they made but I feel that isnworthbit for safety and peace of mind. Honestly, I know vehicle maintenance basics, but they could have told me that I needed both front and rear brakes and I would not have known differently. I was a little torn between 4 or 5 stars. The ONLY reason I considered 4 stars is their business hours. I repeatedly missed opportunities to schedule my service because they close at 2pm/3pm. However, I am so very happy with the people and the service that I must give them 5 stars. I will definitely be a long term patron.

I was Leary and scared didn't know who to trust so I spoke with a gentleman that said he tow for united i. Asked him a lot of questions because I was afraid to trust someone. He never got upset with me he was very professional and friendly. I did have to call several times to check on progress because I was using the ride share company which was very expensive. This really knocked my savings down because it was unexpected repair cost. I just thank God I had the resources to take me through this setback. So now I'm calling the repair shop they were waiting on the insurance then had to wait on the part to come in. After everything was taken care of it was like an additional week. I came in to pay after the work was done. They were very professional answered all my questions. My car is running great now. I appreciate you guys for a job well done. Thanks

When he arrived, he began insisting on payment for a diagnostic before even opening the hood or inspecting either vehicle, and then asked for partial payment just to begin. Due to heavy rain, he mentioned possibly needing to reschedule and said he didn't want to "abort mission." I told him that was his decision as the business owner and I would respect it. He chose to proceed. I also explained that I was planning to sell one of the vehicles and wanted it evaluated, but he refused, stating it would be "somebody else's problem." Despite proceeding, he refused to get out of his car and did not inspect either of the two vehicles at all (no hood opened, no physical checks). Instead, he relied on the codes I had already pulled and repeated that information back to me, then claimed I needed a transmission without verifying anything. He also stated that he "doesn't need to get out of his car to do a diagnostic." Afterward, he asked if I appreciated his help enough to send an additional $50. I offered $30, but since he had not performed any work, I told him that was not a viable decision. He later texted around 10 PM threatening to have my car towed over the $50. I paid the initial $50, but no diagnostic service was performed. I would recommend confirming all pricing and expectations clearly before working with him.
