My pickup wouldn't start. I know my way around an engine, so I diagnosed the problem as best I could from home in 100F weather and came to the conclusion that my fuel pump had likely gone bad. Not a repair I can do from home on this truck so it was off to Yelp Projects to get a quote for service on a worst-case scenario repair. Mark from Mendo Motorz contacted me back and did just that. I spoke with him on the phone and we went over what I tried and what it might be, and I was satisfied enough to have my vehicle towed in that afternoon. Knowing that my business depends on my vehicle running, they verified my suspicions before closing and Mark let me know that it would take a couple hours to fix come morning. Sure enough, it was ready before noon the next day, and considering a fuel pump replacement on my F150 requires dropping the fuel tank to do, it was a very quick turn around! The quality of the work was superb and communication was excellent the whole way through. The price for parts and labor was also well below some of the other quotes I was given which was only icing the cake! There is a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty on parts and labor, but I'm sure it won't be an issue. Top notch garage. I would recommend them to anybody. read more

Quick to answer my query and to give quote for business needed on a break job. Very easy to speak with and I appreciate their time and value! They were willing and ready that day to accept my vehicle for repair that day. I really recommend them and their years of service. Thank you! read more

Very professional and fast service. The shop is Veteran owned and operated so is a major plus for me as a veteran. Found a forever shop with them. read more

The diagnostic was really well documented and the service was really good! There was something that came up with the minivan but I can genuinely say I'll be using them again. read more

I brought my 2016 Ford F-150 to Mendo Motorz after visiting two other shops that either dismissed the issue as something I'd have to live with or told me I simply needed a tune-up. After keeping my truck for a couple of days, their team accurately diagnosed the problem as a worn timing chain that needed replacement. Both the owner, Paul, and the lead technician, Ernest, showed exceptional professionalism and understanding, especially considering how frustrated I was from my prior experiences. I was so impressed with their service that I recommended my father bring in his 2011 Tundra for ongoing issues he'd been having. They provided a clear, itemized breakdown of the necessary repairs, along with a helpful verbal explanation to ensure we understood the work being done. I highly recommend Mendo Motors and their team. They're honest, thorough, and truly committed to great customer service. read more

Service oriented establishment. Veteran owed and operated---I'm a Veteran so that was a go for me. My daughter's car had the engine lit up in the dash. We dropped the car off and Ernest got us a diagnostic done and narrowed down the possibilities. He kept in touch with me by text so that I knew every step of the way what was being done and the costs. My daughter left her iPhone on the counter and Ernest called to let us know. I missed his call, but he took the time to text me and kept her phone in his desk until we returned. There is a comfortable waiting area. The staff were all pleasant and respectful. Prices are reasonable. I this is my new car go to place. Thanks Mendo Motorz! read more

Paul and his crew have been servicing our vehicles for a few years now. They are great abought communicating. I get update via text and calls. All problems and repairs are very detailed. Their prices are fair, and the work is always perfect. They fix right the first time. I highly recommend Mendo Motorz to friends and family. read more

I've been with Mendo Motors for a year now. I've been very pleased work their service and their prices. They always give you a quote before starting and let you know what else will need attention. I always ask for Ernesto... great customer service and very trustworthy. read more

Had my 2007 Frontier check by this place. Working with Ernest on the code and issues I was having. He listen to all I had to say, worked with me on what he and his crew will do to see what's the main issues. Few days later, found the issues and got it running again. Thank Kevin for staying late before the winter freeze arrives by stay late waiting for my vehicle to get there to the shop. Y'all have a new customer. Salute the team! read more

Ernest was very polite and understanding to my concerns about my vehicle! He went above and beyond with trying to help me figure out the problem and I'm very grateful. Ernest and the team were all great and answered any questions or concerns I had! I totally recommend this shop to anyone looking for an honest quote and great service! read more

I wanna take the time and say thank you to the Mendo crew that worked on my car and special thanks to Ernest he helped me out so much keeping me informed on what was being done with my car including pictures or discussing parts and jay over all keeping me in the loop of everything being done to my car. It wasn't an easy job & they still got the job done perfectly and in a timely matter. Highly recommend and appreciate them! read more

Affordable, honest quality work. Completed the service requested in a timely fashion and did not pressure me to go forward with other repairs at the time. I felt that they really listened to my concerns and took them into consideration when prioritizing what needed to be done to get my vehicle running safely again. read more

Mendo Motorz was great! They replied to my Yelp request within just a couple minutes, and offered me an appointment the very next morning to fix my issue. I accepted their appointment for today and they had me out the door at a surprisingly low price very quickly. Outstanding business, excellent workmanship, and fair prices. What else could you ask for? read more

They got me in the same day for a new brake job and had me in and out over my lunch break! They also give a Military family discount. Made me feel much safer taking a road trip to Kansas and Indiana banking new brakes. Lobby is welcoming and even had healthy options in the vending machines and comfortable seating and a resting nook/play area for toddlers. read more

If I can give this place 10 stars I would. Kevin and his team went above and beyond to help me figure out the issue with my car. I will definitely return for any other car issue. I can't recommend this place enough. Great service, fair price and reliable. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I myself am a veteran and wanted to support a veteran owned business. I took my vehicle there, 30-40 minutes out of my way for issues with the A/C, after the diagnostic (roughly a $100 maybe a tad bit more) I was given a whole list of "problems" my vehicle "had". I was told I had a Freon leak, coolant leak, and my power fuse box needed to be replaced and that was why my A/C wasn't working. Little did the business know I ran my own diagnostic and knew all of these "issues" given to me were false, and they were trying to get as much out of me as they could. The fuse for my blower (for A/C) was burnt out and that was the only issue, but they did not know that I knew that. (I'd like to note that I am a female, so you know how that goes with mechanics.) I was also told I would need a new transmission after so many miles, which I knew my vehicle had 0 issues with the transmission because I take care of my cars, and there was never an indicator that ANYTHING was wrong. I was told to smack the power fuse box in order to get the A/C would work, and I knew right then and there what kind of business I was dealing with. "Hey just smack it even though nothings wrong so it breaks and you have to come back and pay $1000 just for a new power fuse box". They must have thought I wasn't very bright, I've since then recieved a few emails questioning if I would be returning and contemplated this review for a while, but if this review can help someone else that's all I care about. I'll probably recieve another email or call after the company sees this review, but I don't care. Do better, Mendo motors. P.S. I will obviously not be returning nor will I refer anyone to go here. read more

We brought our 93 Honda Prelude in for a front end alignment, rear view mirror replacement, passenger door window actuator replacement, and rear window tint removal. It's driving like a champ. Mendo is our primary car doctor from now on. Nice waiting room, and great info when we picked it up. I highly recommend this place. read more

Mark was very professional when handling a scheduling miscommunication for my vehicle's oil change. I was in an out within an hour. The lobby has plenty of comfortable places to sit and the AC was nice. I have other service needs for my vehicle that I definitely will come back for. The best part is that this place is locally and veteran owned. They'll take good care of you here. read more

I don't even know where to start with this company. I was in search for a mechanic and super nervous about finding someone who wouldn't poke my eyes out. This place was quick to respond and THEY R OPEN ON SUNDAYS!!!! Took my baby in because she was running rough, super nice Ernest explained what they were going to do and what tests were going to happen. Long story short wasn't what they thought was wrong with it but the kicker was this wonderful guy said to me he didn't want to charge me for something I didn't need!!! WHAT!!! Did he just say that to me??!! This place was amazing, honest reliable and friendly also didn't make me feel uncomfortable or inexperienced in knowledge of vehicles, they were nice and spoke TO me not at me! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Ask for Ernest or Kevin BOTH these guys are great people n honest mechanics! Thanks again! You have made a customer for life! Thank u thank u thank u read more

Ernest Was Very Professional And Completed My Car In A Timely Matter. Had Motor Mounts Replaced. Driving My Car I Can Feel A Difference. I Definitely Recommend Taking My Cars To Mendo Motorz. read more

My service date was back in December 2023, but I had an electrical problem with my Ford Taurus that caused me headaches for YEARS. I had it taken to multiple mechanics with no success and so much money down the drain. Mendo fixed it in two days! Not only that, they were able to accurately identify the root cause of the problem and minimize the amount of labor needed to fix the issue. My electrical problem is gone! I will definitely be returning here for any future car problems. Thank you Kevin and the guys who helped fix my car! read more

Got my serpentine belt replaced for way less than Honda dealership; around $200 vs $800 Only took about an hour. Friendly staff read more

Kenneth is very professional and helpful. my husband and I have taken each of our vehicles here for repair and we're pleased with the service. Highly recommend. Audrey and Bill Hawes read more

Good price on a Brake job & oil change. great service and very professional. Highly recommended.

My husband took his car in for a simple brake issue. After a week of runaround Friday they said car was ready. We left the shop and immediately realized the car was not safe to drive. Called them to bring car back on Monday and a second week of investigating the issue-and more dash lights coming on that weren't the original issue-this shop determined they did not have the equipment to meet the needs of the car and took it to Gunn Chevy to have properly fixed. We paid about $1200 and were without our car 2 weeks. No returning as a new light came on 2 days after getting car back! Never again ! Mendo Motorz had lots of unhappy customers while we were there waiting on our vehicle several days it was promised to be ready and it wasn't! read more

This place is GOD SENT to everyone that needs an honest, professional, hard working and absolutely customer first place to work on your vehicle. Kevin will go above and beyond to make sure you have all the details and options when you're needing service. He will call, text and email you to bc make sure you're not left in the dark. This place is the only place you can TRUST, they will not try and oversell or jack you around to cost you more money. They are straight to the point and will try and keep the cost as low as possible. I was in a horrible situation with Valvoline in Schertz, where they put the wrong fluid in my truck and broke my transmission. Kevin had me tow it to him, he took it apart and determined that Valvoline had indeed put the wrong fluid in my truck and flushed it out to hide the type of fluid they used. Kevin called Valvoline to tell them that it was Valvoline's fault and they are responsible. Of course, Valvoline denies everything. But Kevin is not giving up. These days you will never find someone like this to fight for what's right. I will be a customer from now on and so will everyone I talk to that needs a great shop! Thank you Kevin & Mendo Motorz you're truly a life saver. read more

After being scammed by a mobile mechanic, Mendo Motorz got me right just like last time. I will not go anywhere else but here! They are honest and will work with you!! read more

This is what at first seemed like a good shop. NOPE!! Don NOT take your car here. They lock it up in an over crowded chain link car lot and DONT CALL YOU BACK about how long they will be keeping your car. Funny how I called to check upon the status of my car with my relative's phone-a customer in holding-and they don't answer. Then they DO answer when I call on a new unassociated number. Oh, new sucker? Guess I was. read more

I have been looking around to have a fuel pump on my Dodge Ram replaced due to an error message I was getting. Called the dealership and they're price was really high and wouldn't look at if for 4 weeks. Called a few other places and looked up reviews on Yelp and Mendo Motorz reviews were great. I called them up and they said bring it in today. It was around 4:30pm when I arrived. They hooked it up to their machine and confirmed the diagnosis. I asked Ernest how quick he can get it fixed and he said if you leave it here I'll have it fixed by tomorrow. He gave me a better quote by about 33% lower and he told me he'd try to get it lower if he could. I thought, "OK". I'll be damned. He got it even lower. I'm a Veteran and this business is Veteran owned. Honest business here. I'm bring all my vehicle issues here. Great Job! Mr. Peña. read more

Excellent customer service and trustworthy! Will Be a returning customer for sure .. upfront about all charges read more

After meeting Paul the owner, I was not surprised to learn that he is a fellow veteran and runs a tight operation at Mendo Motorz. His shop is open 7 days a week! Now, that's what I call excellent customer service! Kevin also, made feel at ease, and took care of me. This will definitely be my go to mechanic shop for any repairs or service on my truck, in San Antonio. He offers a whopping 25% military discount for veterans on top of very reasonable prices, and a 12 month written labor warranty. Mendo Motorz is hands down the best mechanic shop in Texas. I have recently moved back to San Antonio from California, after my retirement. I don't really know anyone here, since I only lived here when i was a young boy. I not only will recommend Paul and his crew to anyone who has ears to listen, but I also hope I found new friends, at Mendo Motorz. Thank you and I'll be back! read more

Kevin at Mendo Motorz was responsive and took care of my repair needs. I came to get a second opinion on replacing a radiator on my Mercedes. He was got back to me with 2 quote options, kept his commitment to call me back since it was a weekend day so he couldn't contact the distributor until the next business week. Went with Mendo because they gave the best value and provided excellent service. I was even told to come back in a month for a complimentary check to make sure there are no problems. read more

My truck needed an alignment and tire rotation and this establishment took care of it for a fair price and were very professional and honest. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place is a 5star to me!!! I came here for my brakes and oil change. They were honest, kind answered all my questions, I couldn't have had better service. They also gave me a good deal ! Over all great service! Definitely recommend. read more

Mendo Motorz responded to my service request and had availability on Sunday to check it out. My concern was that I was from out of town and was worried about causing further damage if I drive home. I met with Ernest at 9 and a technician drove with me to diagnose the issue. I explained my concern about driving home. He was able to determine the issue and told me that while they could fix it, if I preferred to go to mechanic it was safe to drive home. Because I felt good about their honesty I had them repair it. Work was completed by the next sat and I was able to head home with confidence of no more issues. Felt I got great value, friendly people and overall great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Gotta say my first time coming in to get my vehicle serviced and this is the place to go! Everyone is so awesome and walked me through what issues i'm having with my vehicle. They didn't mind that it's RHD. The price is unbeatable here. If you're having questions, they'll answer them. I will be coming back for future repairs! Thank you everyone for y'all's hard work! read more

My Charger was having fuel issues that the dealership said the repair would be $1200. I came on yelp to find a mechanic with a good rating and came across this place. They were very responsive through chat, was able to get a new fuel neck, and complete the repair that same day! I would definitely recommend Mendo Motorz in the future to anyone needing any work done on their vehicle. read more

Mendo Motorz found me via Yelp's project request. I posted that I needed a quote for brake replacement for my daughter's truck on Friday morning and got a response within 1/2 hr. I was provided with an estimate based on what I posted and was suggested that I call for details and schedule an appointment. I called on Saturday afternoon and explained more in detail what was going on with the truck. Spoke with Kevin, he would be able to work on truck that same afternoon. Made the appointment and drive out. From check in to check out it took only a little over an hour! The service was friendly and helpful they don't talk down to you because you're a woman. The waiting room was very clean and comfortable. I paid what I was quoted over the phone. Car is "breaking" great. No grinding noise. I definitely recommend this place for your auto service. They have a Master Mechanic who is ASE Certified a big plus! MAHALO read more

When I arrived for car inspection everyone was so friendly and helpful. I did not have to wait long for the inspection to be completed. I will return for any other car work in future. read more

Thank you so much for your quick reply, and a very professional inspection. Thank you state inspector Mike S. Highly recommend !
