Hands down, best service experience I've had in a long time. I had the first appointment of the day and happen to show up 10 mins early. They immediately greeted me and got to work on my car. They first do a diagnostic test and inspection of the car, then suggest based on Volvo recommendations as well as what the service technician sees while inspecting. I was then thoroughly explained each item that needed attention and time frame associated with fixing. It was the first time in a long time that I left a car shop feeling good about everything. I will absolutely bring my vehicle back here and recommend them to anyone with a Volvo.

After bringing our vehicle to a different auto shop and getting a laundry list of issues with a hefty price tag, a friend told us to bring our vehicle to Salah's for his opinion. Did I mention that this was literally a DAY before we were leaving for a TX to NY road-trip??? Nothing like leaving things to the last minute, eh? I was ASTOUNDED that they brought our vehicle into a bay immediately upon arriving. I was further BLOWN AWAY when they had about 5+ guys stop what they were doing and all checking out our vehicle!! After the vehicle was looked over, Salah reported to us that he agreed with most of the items on the "laundry list", one item was unnecessary but also added that our vehicle needed new rear breaks and rotors. He BEAT the other estimate and then some... EVEN with adding on the rear breaks and rotors!! THABK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Salah's Auto was able to get my vehicle fixed THAT DAY. We left it in the morning and was able to get it later that day! We can not say how much we appreciate Salah and his crew for helping us before our big road trip! It gave us such peace of mind to be driving that far with a vehicle that was safe! Salah has customers for life! We won't take our vehicles elsewhere!

Never in my 55 years has that happened to me. That is just one of the three examples I could share that let me know Beraca is the place for me. They removed an old, detached muffler, heat shields that no longer comes on the new muffler assembly from the dealer due to the other heat shields already attached to the frame of the vehicle. The team could have recommended replacing the whole muffler or crafting custom shields because the others weren't available with the dealer anymore. Instead they told me the truth and let me make a decision. If your looking for any honest mechanic shop with fair pricing amongst the sea of options, look no further Beraca will take care of you!

Southwest Alignment - 8648 Richmond Ave, Houston…read more I've been bringing my vehicles to Southwest Alignment since at least 2017. Today was another reminder why. I came in for an alignment on my 2017 Toyota Prius V. Israel quickly found worn outer tie rods. When I pushed and pulled on the front wheels, there was slight side-to-side wobble (no vertical play). That means the wheels were subtly toeing out while driving, which wears the inside edges of tires. The team replaced the outer tie rods and reset toe correctly. For reference, the goal isn't "perfectly zero." Most cars are set to about 0.10° toe-in so that under driving load everything tracks straight. Now the steering feels tight and centered again. For anyone who worries about minor spec differences: my right caster is 0.5° lower than the left. That is within Toyota's factory spec and not adjustable on this vehicle. In fact, most cars are set with equal caster or slightly lower on the right because of road crown. Roads slope right for drainage, so cars naturally drift that way. That's physics, not a bad alignment. Shawn at the front desk explained everything clearly. No fluff. No overselling. Just facts. He was also candid about what they do and what they don't do. Their bread and butter: * Suspension * Steering * Brakes * CV axles * Toe, camber, caster * Lowering & lifting * Oversized wheel setups Not their lane: * Check engine lights * Fluid leaks I appreciate that focus. Lee has 32 years experience. Israel has 15. Both have been here over a decade. That matters. Many alignment shops rotate young techs through with minimal training. Here, experienced technicians stay. Its brand promise is to fix problems right the first time. That's been my experience repeatedly. If your steering feels loose, your tires are wearing unevenly, or your car tracks funny, this is where you go in Houston. And yes, your car may still drift slightly right on crowned roads. That's normal. Just don't fall asleep at the wheel. Highly recommend.

Got recommended to go this shop for an alignment, as I was due for one, as well as due for new…read moretires, and I called up Lee and he said that I can bring my car in at 7am and I would hear back in the afternoon. As it was a Friday I decided to work remotely and just stay at the shop so that I would not need to spend money on ubers (as I live far). Until 12:30pm my car was still sitting in the same spot I was told to park it at which was the first annoying thing. Fast forward to about 4:30pm (at this point I had no choice but to uber back to my house) I get a call about my struts and shocks needing to be replaced, and was given a quote. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE was telling Lee to go ahead with the fixes. I was frustrated that after keeping my car in that shop for the whole day I would still need to get repairs done so in the haste of it I said yes instead of taking it back to my usual mechanic, (which, in hindsight I should have done). I come back Monday morning to pick up my car, take it to get new tires, and the tire shop did the tires, and then did an alignment check. the alignment check came out wrong on their machine which was the first thing that pissed me off, but what's even worse was after they lifted the car up and showed me , I saw that it was missing a sway bar link on my right side, and my right strut was not fully fixed. and when I called Lee, he was like oh yea you never had one and we forgot to tell you, here is another quote for that. WHAT EVEN IS THIS SYSTEM (i knew this was a lie because before I took it to southwest, I got new control arms installed at my usual mechanic, and he confirmed that was never the case, because he would've noticed and told me immediately). I wasted $740 on these southwest guys Eventually I had to take it my usual mechanic, and he installed the missing sway bar link and pushed the right strut all the way in. Also to mention the struts that these southwest guys ordered were some cheap parts which I have no option to change (due to expensive costs) and just keep and hope they last me long on my car. Even upon calling Lee after the realization of the missing part, the first thing he does is blame the tire shop for making up lies.
