If you're considering Skeeter's Auto for major engine work, document every visit, record all communications, and confirm warranty coverage in writing Skeeter's Auto repeatedly returned my Audi broken, ignored the 1-year warranty, and refused to correct a recurring oil-system failure the has led to internal turbo leaking. I'm documenting my full experience with Skeeter's Auto in Houston and its service manager, Jessica, regarding my 2012 Audi Q5. Despite paying over $5,200 and having a 1-year / 100,000-mile parts-and-labor warranty printed on my invoice, my vehicle has been returned to me multiple times with the same problem--and as of October 18 2025, it is still smoking while idling in park. May 29 2025 - Dropped off the vehicle for a "check-engine" light and low-oil-pressure warning. Car was fully drivable at drop-off. June 13 2025 - Picked up after paying $3,196.23 for repairs that later proved unnecessary. The true issue--a failed oil pump--was never addressed. The car broke down the same day. June 16 2025 - Returned to Skeeter's. They found metal shavings in the oil-pump filter, confirming the prior repair was misdiagnosed. The oil pump was then replaced. July 3 2025 - Picked up again. July 5 2025 - Car broke down once more. July 8 2025 - GM admitted the earlier misdiagnosis and said the engine now needed replacement. July 31 2025 - Authorized an engine replacement for $2,005.99, bringing my total paid to $5,202.22. The invoice lists a 1-year / parts and labor warranty. August 14 2025 - Technician D.R. confirmed on my recorded call (fast-forward to the 4:45-minute mark) that he removed the turbocharger to pull the engine. August 20 2025 (~5 PM) - Vehicle marked "passed quality control" before discovering a leak and returned to me. Skeeter's claimed the leak had been "repaired before pickup." September 15 2025 - Contacted the GM about a clicking noise. The car was also stuttering, though I initially overlooked it. Scheduled to drop off when husband got there was told it was too late in the day, come back. October 7 2025 - Vehicle began smoking from the tailpipes and leaking oil again--only 57 days after the engine replacement. October 10 2025 - Returned to Skeeter's. Quoted about $3,200 for a new turbo kit. I declined, because Skeeter's had already handled the turbo during the engine installation. Note: turbo was fine which is why it was reinstalled. I even offered to purchase the replacement parts myself for them to install under warranty, but that offer was refused. October 15 2025 - The same oil leak first identified in August was marked "repaired" again. This proved the leak was recurring, not new, and existed since the engine was installed. The continuing leak from August through October caused internal turbo failure. The car was returned to me still smoking! October 18 2025 - Today, the vehicle continues to smoke, despite multiple "repairs." See today's video recording Jessica (owner?) has reviewed the invoices, photos, videos, audio recordings (including the 4:45 turbo removal statement), and emails referenced here and still refuses to honor the 1-year parts and labor --even though, according to Skeeter's own records, I have driven only 3,000 miles since the engine installation. Every estimate and invoice from 2024 through August 2025 shows no mention of turbo or exhaust issues until October 2025, when Skeeter's first introduced the $3,200 turbo quote. The turbo system was healthy before Skeeter's touched it which is why it was reinstalled and all failures occurred less than 2 months after engine replacement. Skeeter's Auto has ignored the written warranty obligations on my invoice and repeatedly returned my vehicle in failed condition. I have filed formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation. If you're considering Skeeter's Auto for major engine work, document every visit, record all communications, and confirm warranty coverage in writing--because in my case, their "warranty" meant nothing once their own work caused the problem.

Fair price, vehicle was done before their estimate and they kept open communication with me. Terry was very informative and helpful.

As usual, their service (both mechanical and customer) was terrific. I always feel that my car has had the best care.
