Great service, great and honest communication. Have been taking our vehicles here for years and always appreciate how quickly we get in and out. read more

I met Joe, many years ago, in a networking group, when he had only one location. So, when I needed a mechanic I thought, "What do I have to lose?" That was four cars, one teenager, and an ex-husband ago... LOL. Now, even my grownup son brings his car here! Joe is Automotive Solutions. He is the owner and integrity behind the business; he stands by the work and will make sure it's right. Every time! I recommend them to anyone needing an honest mechanic. read more

Solutions Automotive has always worked with me so that I can get the repairs I need, and they do it in a timely manner! They are reliable and honest and I would recommend them to my family and friends. read more

I live 30 mins from McKinney where I ran over a large metal object and I could see the green radiator fluid all run out and the plastic in front of my tires was broken and rubbing my tires. I had it towed to them after speaking with Joe who is great about keeping in touch. He told me not only was the radiator busted but also the ac compressor was busted and it was gonna need Freon and it would be $1300. I didn't have 13 cents. After a day of research I found the car was drivable without the compressor repair. I said fix the radiator, he said $662. I literally had to ask him for tape, in the rain, to tape the plastic piece to keep it from rubbing my tires and Imagine my surprise when I accidentally turn on my ac I got pure conditioned cold air. Now I ask you...did he fix the ac compressor for free???? read more

First and foremost, Joe the owner and operator is a good Christian guy. He's a guy that you can trust and his mechanics are trustworthy too. I highly recommend Solutions Automotive of Mckinney. My wife and I have used S.A. for many years. read more

Love this shop! They keep you informed of your car repair in terms of cost and time estimate throughout the process. The best part of the repair is feeling that you don't have to second guess (or google) their repair estimate and deal with a hard up-sell. read more

I rate solutions automotive as excellent service. I am changing my earlier rating because the state of Texas was at fault for the delay in getting an inspection and not the fault of solutions automotive. read more

Joe and his team are super knowledgeable, trustworthy and attentive to their customer's needs. This has been one of the best experiences I've had at a mechanic shop. Great service and professionalism. Joe is an expert and knows his work, and he is also very considerate, patient, and delivers great customer service. He also is amazing at communication. Thank you so much!! read more

Great place to bring your car. My husband has been looking for a good mechanic for 2 years now, and he's found this place reliable, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. read more

This was easily my best experience with an Auto Mechanic. They should change the name to "Integrity Automotive" read more

Hey Joe! I wanted to reach out to you and thank you for your team taking such great care of my daughter's vehicle. She and my wife both said that Justin was PHENOMENAL! He treated my 20-year old daughter with respect, talked her through everything they found, what they did, and set a plan to address the outstanding issues. He also explained to her why the oil change was so expensive (7 quarts of oil and a special oil filter) and assured her he double-checked the prices to make sure he was offering the best service and the best prices. KUDOS once again to your team! Jim read more

I feel like I got duped. I find out later my car repairs would have been 300 versus the 800 I paid. I would never go back again.

Great service and friendly. Did a great job and a gave a reasonable price on front brakes and rotors. $200 less than another place wanted to charge. Picked up hubby too which was great for our schedule. Will be back! read more

Here's the deal... In a world where people are out for money and will screw you at any turn, I've found a place where the complete opposite is true. These guys are as honest as one can be. I found out about them from a friend and now will drive WAY out of my way because of the good & honest work they do! Our Mercedes was needing it's Service B and the dealership was wanting to charge in the neighborhood of $500. Solutions Automotive did the SAME fully documented service for half! If you're looking for a proper shop that's honest and does great work, look no further. If you live in the Allen/McKinney area, you're doing yourself a injustice by not taking your vehicles here! I drive 25 miles to take my stuff here!!! They are THAT good! read more

Joe and Robert were very help and knowledgable. I took my OLD car in because it was not passing inspection due to the emmissions test. They looked at everything on the car, cleaned up the engine, and gave me a run down of all of the things the car needs work on. They got my car running better & had it inspected..PASSED. Under $125. Robert gave me prices and let me know the work was not urgent but gave me approximate timeframes and prices for future reference. I really liked doing business with these guys. We'll go back. read more

Joe did a pre-sales inspection on a used car for me. Best $100 I've spent all day. He was able to give me an accurate list of issues with the car and gave me an estimate of what he would appraise the car at, based on NADA value. He saved me from buying a major lemon! Thanks Joe! read more

I do most of my own vehicle maintenance, but I didn't have the time or tools to replace the brakes and rotors on my truck. I called Solutions and they were able to take it in the next day and do the replacement. While working on the truck, Joe called to let me know the progress and when it would be finished - which was later that day. I was able to pay over the phone and picked up the truck right as they were closing. As a small business owner myself, I appreciate the great service, contact, and quick turnaround. I couldn't ask for anything more from an auto repair company. Thanks Kathy and Joe! read more

Be aware! After a $4700 repair on my wife's Cadillac Escalade ESV, the car was returned to me with a broken rear windshield wiper and a stolen third row. The disturbing part of this, was this was unknown to them which makes me question their QC process. More disturbing is it became clear that my car was stored OUTSIDE the shop making it catnip for thieves and vandals. In fact, upon discovering the theft, a cursory search revealed the third row already posted on eBay motors for sale. I do believe Joe is an honest and forthright owner intent on doing a good job. That said, cars should never be exposed to theft, vandalism or damage while under their care. If they are damaged, it would be my hope it would be caught before the car is returned to the owner with abject apologies and minimal inconvenience. read more

My Corolla was in some serious need of new brakes all around and a tune up. So after doing some research on where to take my car, I came across Solutions Automotive. They have the best reviews in the McKinney area, so it was an easy choice for me on where to take my car. I called to make my appointment and the receptionist who answered was very friendly and got me all set up to bring my car on in for service the next day. I dropped my car off first thing in the morning when they opened and they said it should take about 3-4 hours to do all four brakes and the tune up. About two and half hours later I get a phone call saying my car is ready and was just in awe that they got it done faster then they said it would. When I went in to pay my bill and I was extremely happy how much it cost me. It was very reasonable and cheaper then most places. That right there will keep me brining the vehicles here for service. The one thing that really stands out about Solutions Automotive is they take the time to send their customers a THANK YOU card hoping that they were satisfied with the service they received. That right there is a true sign of top notch business. I greatly appreciated that thank you card. Keep up the amazing customer service!! read more

I honestly can't speak to the quality of their work, but I can't attest to the quality of their character. It's not everyday that a mechanic will tell you that you DON'T need to have work done! Went thinking I needed a brake job, but they let me know the occasional squeals were from uneven wear, and I still had a good 80-90% life left on all pads. It seems the dealership had only replaced the pads on my used car not the rotors. Ideal? No, but I left comfortable that I wasn't going to go flying uncontrollably through and intersections or smack into my garage door anytime soon. I will definitely utilize Solutions Automotive for any future repairs! read more

Came in with little time to get my car checked out before a trip to the mountains and Mike was able to get me in and evaluate the condition of my car and make some minor fixes and had me on my way for free! He was honest, easy to work with. I did have a little trouble finding them and they're right next to another body shop with a similar name so make sure you're going in the right one. The waiting area was warm and inviting! Great job! I'll be back if I need help in the future. Thanks Mike. read more

Great place to get service, took my 2003 Ford Ranger in for the check engine light, problem was found quickley and fixed and was very happy with the final charges. This was my first vist. read more

My car overheated on me and I desperately needed to get back on the road as quickly as possible. Not wanting to get ripped off by Firestone, I reached out to Solutions Automotive because of their great Yelp reviews. They were able to fit me in the very next morning. They dropped me off at the local car rental place so I could get a rental to shuttle myself around all day, super convenient of them. Then, since I was concerned about getting stuck with a rental car all weekend, they managed to get my car completely fixed in the same day so that I was able to get back to the rental place and turn my car in without incurring any late costs. They fixed the primary issue as well as gave me some honesty about my oil change. I needed an oil change but since the previous people who changed it had jammed something, they suggested I take it back there and make them fix their mistake so that I wouldn't have to pay them to fix someone elses mistake. I really appreciate the honesty and trying to save me a few bucks in the end. Another added bonus is that the owner is a hockey fan! Go Allen Americans! I'll come back here if I have any further issues with my car. Note, this place can be challenging to find. It is BETWEEN greenville and Tennessee but you cannot see it from either one. If you take Tennessee, you'll be able to see their logo on a small sign indicating where to drive...and it's kind of halfway in between the two streets. read more

Joe and his team completed the A1 service on my Mercedes! Quick service, professional, great communication. Highly recommend this company. Much less expensive than the dealership. I will be back! read more

Wow. So glad I found these guys. My brakes were squealing on my car so I brought in my car to have it looked at. Nothing wrong. Although the sound is annoying, they let me know the brakes were in good working order and no safety issue. Didn't even charge me for the visit. It's really hard to find a trustworthy mechanic. But I think I've actually found one. Phew. read more

I went to Solutions to get a safety inspection for my 2 cars. Joe was very professional as well as courteous. I have not had any work done at this shop other than the inspection, but due to the professional service I will bring my vehicles here in the future when they need service or repair. I have now gone back for a oil change. They did the oil change and that was all. No suggestions for other repairs. I will continue to take our cars there. read more

Took my car in for the first time based on reviews. My car's a/c wasn't blowing out cool air. When I went to pick it up, they said nothing was wrong with the a/c; however, when I left the shop the a/c still didn't blow out cool air. After getting a 2nd opinion at another shop, I went on youtube to learn how to add freon and fixed it myself. I gave it a 3 rating because the guy at the front was nice. However, not sure they have reliable mechanics given they couldn't correct a simple job. read more

Always great service and knowledgeable, trustworthy people. All of our vehicles come here for service and maintenance.

Wow, just another typical mechanic trying to screw the average joe! Maybe there work is quality, maybe not. THEY WILL JACK THE PRICE UP BIG TIME! I would NOT recommend this place. I was in Mckinney visiting friends(I'm from Kansas) and noticed my alternator knocking, they wanted to charge me $650 to replace it! I called around got a second opinion,bought the part at Oreillys myself and had south point auto. do it for $150-labor(solutions wanted $260!) and I bought the part for $200. HALF THE PRICE!!!! Omg! AND OREILLYS guy told me they get the same part for 160! They were going to charge me 2x as much for the part...probably some shop guarantee BS!!! Blah blah blah... So glad I got a 2nd opinion! read more

I had a little mishap with a curb a couple weeks ago and it happened at the worst possible time! I was planning on driving my daughter, two of her teammates and another mom 5 hours away to a bball tournament that weekend and needed to make sure my suv was ok for the trip. I initially took the suv to the dealer as it was a recent purchase and used my free oil change and had them make sure all was ok with the wheel, etc. The dealer told me that they were having trouble aligning the side in question, but didn't have time to look further into it and told me it was fine to drive for the next couple of weeks and ok to take it out of town (loaded down with several passengers). They said I could schedule a time the following week to bring it back in to have it addressed further. I immediately called Joe for a second opinion and was able to drop the suv off the next day at Solutions Automotive. He was able to get the issue diagnosed and determined that the strut was bent and there were pieces of rubber chipped from the tire! The dealer was about to let me drive for hours and hours with a bent strut and bad tires! Joe was able to have the tires and struts replaced by that afternoon and I was able to leave for the tournament with peace of mind! Joe will always be my first call with anything to do with my cars from here on out. Thank you Solutions Automotive staff, I appreciate y'all so much!! read more

Wonderful shop, my family and I trust them with all of our vehicles. Excellent work and customer service at a great price. I recommend them to anyone and everyone. read more

Okay we have Jaquar. Took it to the dealership told me back brakes need to replaced and with a huge cost. Solutions gave me a second opinion......wow brakes do not have to be replaced! No Charge for the second opinion..........forget the dealership SOLUTIONS FIRST! read more

Joe was able to get my car within an hour of calling. Diagnosis and repair were timely and accurate.

Not sure why this place is so overhyped. This place is tucked away in a bad part of town. It's a suite in a large building full of other garages, which made it difficult to find when I arrived. Not really a big deal, but there is no way I would have found this place without Yelp or Google Maps. I had a number of issues on my chevy silverado. Mostly just maintenance stuff. Oil change, brake pads & rotors, etc. They called back with about 10 issues found in the 15 point inspection. Over half of them were over twice the cost of what Stonebriar Chevrolet dealership charged for the exact same services. Things like flushing brake fluid and stuff. Sure they were nice but they didn't roll out the red carpet like the other reviews seem to express. I never got follow up calls to thank me for my business, nor did I get discounts for being a first time customer. I won't go back again mostly because I just wasn't blown away like I expected. I feel like it's much better (and safer) to get work done at a Chevy dealership where they know my truck better and prices are more fair. read more

Terrific service, including a call after work was completed and car returned as well as great education on future car buying and how to handle my car going forward. Very helpful, great experience! read more

During the check of a sound issue in the brakes, the basic adjustment while checking fixed the noise. They charged me just for the review and didn't push to get any additional work out of it. Speedy, personal service with reasonable prices. read more

Great find, I'm from Cali and new in town was looking for a good place to take my cars for repair (other than the dealer) these guys really are good. I needed my air conditioner repaired and they gave me an estimate and fixed it. Not to mention that they fixed it even with me bringing my car to them on a Sat morning without an appointment, They had it repaired and back to me before 2pm. these guys are top notch!! read more

Took my car here for an oil change. They did a great job. Very quick and courteous. Love that they sent me a thank you card in the mail. Above and beyond!! read more

Solutions Automotive has done work on several of my vehicles. I trust their analysis and they are honest about what needs to be done. I recommend going to Solutions Automotive for any repair needs. read more

We have been using Solutions Automotive for about a year and have been extremely pleased with the service and prices. I have taken our car in for routine maintenance and the service was quick, the mechanics were quick to explain the services to me as we'll as I felt my charges were very fair. I highly recommend Solutions Automotive for oil changes to in depth repairs. read more
