I work right across the street, so I dropped off my car and said 'It's overheating.' and went to work. I've had extensive, extensive problems with my 2001 BMW 525i. From the day I got it around 7 years ago, there hasn't been a period of six months where I haven't had to replace or drop at the very least a few hundred bucks on something- mostly, on overheating problems. So, I am not new to the stresses of seeing that temp gauge go all the way red and smoke billowing from under the hood. I handed Botis (the owner of the shop) the papers from the work I've had done in the past, (just four months ago, I paid $600 to get some work done down the street that pretty much fixed nothing). He kept this in mind, and let me know he wasn't going to try to 'sell' me anything I didn't need. From the start, I could tell this was an honest car shop, and they weren't trying to screw me over; I've had enough work done on my car to be able to tell when I'm about to be taken for a ride. I told him I knew my car was a mess (my dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree), but that I only wanted to diagnose the overheating problem, not the CEL or anything else. I told him I wanted my car to last for another year, and then I am planning on chunking it off a cliff, and getting something more reliable. He told me what I needed to have done to achieve this, and gave me a very fair estimate. Unfortunately, as is the nature with my car (and old BMWs), things kept piling up as we dug deeper to diagnose the problem. What was one issue, led to a whole slew of other issues, that, if not fixed, would compromise the work he was doing in the first place. Each time he called me to let me know what else he needed to do, he was very calm and nice, reminded me again that he's not trying to rip me off or screw me over, but that I needed an extra x,y, z part. He ended up doing beautiful work on my car for a VERY fair price- and it drives WONDERFULLY. I almost ended up being emotional when I finally went to pick up my car, as my Dad is usually the one who handles my car issues for me, and I just moved from a few states away from him to Houston. This is really the first time I had to make educated decisions by myself about repair work, and this automotive repair shop always made me feel safe about my decisions and were very reassuring and helpful. I plan on returning to them in a few months to have my oil changed.

BUYERS BEWARE: The…read moreauto mechanic here is a scam artist. BUYERS BEWARE Shell Gas Station, 920 Richmond Ave., Houston, TX 77006 On March 23, 2023, I brought my F-150 in because it had a water leak; this Shell Station auto mechanic told me the AC UNIT was leaking. This gas station auto mechanic said we could fix this the right way for $2,200 or the cheap route for $400.00. He stated the correct way to fix it was to remove the dashboard steering wheel, cut some wires to access the leaking AC unit lower valve, and replace the gasket. Then this auto mechanic stated that the cheap fix would be putting silicone around the lower AC UNIT valve for $400. This conversation occurred next door (900 Richmond AVE) at 3:35 PM when I initially dropped off my F-150 that morning. BUYERS BEWARE Today, March 28, 2023, I took my F-150 to my local auto mechanic shop (Crossview Dr, Houston, TX), and they said they had never heard of removing the entire dashboard to replace a leaking AC unit gasket with confused looks on their faces. They ran the AC unit diagnostics, checked for leaks, inspected the vehicle, and determined the windshield was leaking. I'm glad I DID NOT pay this lying auto mechanic $2,200.00. BUYERS BEWARE. Sincerely, Howard Venuto Retired Firefighter FYI: This is being reported to the Attorney General's Office, KPRC 2 NEWS, BBB "Better Business Bureau," and Harris County DA fraud department. Some of this was captured on my F-150 Dash cameras (For legal purposes), because people lie and video cameras don't. BUYERS BEWARE

I love this little gas station tucked away in between Allen Parkway and West Gray. It's…read moreconvenient, very clean, they carry a large selection of not so generic drinks and snacks, there's never a wait for a gas pump, and the family who owns/runs it is super nice and very helpful. Two years ago (in 2007), Houston was on it's way to becoming a gigantic bayou. The entire city. It rained for roughly 83% of the year. Flooding everywhere. Many of those days, it was as if a gigantic water hose (and/or a few fire hoses and buckets mixed in for variety) was turned on full blast and directed at us. On one such day, I and apparently half of Houston thought it wise to leave work early to avoid potential rerouting due to high water. Perfect. Traffic stopped in flooded streets. I decided to stop in at my convenience store/gas station to grab an orange juice before continuing my adventure home. I smartly thought, "I don't want to get my purse wet, I'll just leave it here." I grabbed my wallet and as I stepped into the store, remembered that I shouldn't have put my keys in my purse. I called AAA, but as it was 5:15pm on a Tuesday in a city that was rapidly turning into an extremely large bayou, the wait time was roughly three hours. Thankfully one of the owners was on the ball. While I was on the phone with AAA, he began fashioning a Slim Jim out of a wire hanger. After about five or ten minutes in the rain, he had unlocked my car.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I find their gas prices to be consistently higher than nearby stations...but overall it's a place I enjoy hitting up for a soda and snack on the way to work. The service is definitely 5 stars.

Joe answered the phone and was able to give me a much shorter estimate than anywhere else in the area, plus he asked me my car make and model to give me a price quote without me even asking! Upon arrival, I was very quickly checked in. I was checked out shortly later at lighting speed! I inquired about their coupon deals online and Joe helped me choose the one that offered the best deals for my service. The best part was his very honest and descriptive update about my car, the options I had for the future, and applicable coupons they offered if I were to return. I highly recommend coming here and I will definitely be back for future services.

For a state inspection, they ask you to leave your car and wait inside (maybe was done as a courtesy because of the heat), but signs say otherwise. 2. As a woman, I'd be weary about their recommendations and get a second opinion always as a rule of thumb. After my inspection they attempted to do the oil filter change, but I can do it on my own and told them so. After, they attempted to tell me that my brakes were bad and would charge me 459 per axel. When making a large purchase, I always get another opinion. I went to another shop and was told they were in perfect condition with photos provided. 3. Customer service was funny and nice, but I don't appreciate being told that a service is needed on my car without evidence. Especially such an expensive service.
