I showed up stressed out after dealing with an oil pressure issue overnight on my Ram 1500. I got there right at 7:30 when they opened, and before I could even finish parking, a guy named Elijah comes walking straight out with a smile, like he's been waiting for me all morning. I told him what was going on, oil pressure all over the place, worried it was something serious, and he just said, "Don't worry, man. We'll take care of you." And he actually meant it. No corporate script, no fake friendliness, just a guy who clearly knows cars and actually gives a damn. He walked me through everything, what oil they use, why they use it, what filter they were putting on, even checked my air filter and fluids without once trying to upsell me like every other oil place on earth. (You know the kind, the ones who act like your transmission's about to explode if you don't buy their $79.99 "Performance Package.") Not here. Elijah showed me my air filter, topped off my coolant and wiper fluid, and didn't try to sell me anything unnecessary. In fact, he was so genuine that when he mentioned wiper blades, which I actually needed, I bought them without hesitation. That's how you know a guy's honest, when you want to spend money with him. The shop itself is small from the outside, but don't let that fool you, they've got serious equipment and even better attitudes. It's clean, organized, and clearly run by people who take pride in what they do. I'm not even from Houston (I'm up in Dallas), but after this experience, I might just start timing my oil changes for when I'm down here on business. Seriously. I was going to go to Take 5 down the street, but the reviews there read like a horror story, people claiming they didn't even change the oil, just topped it off. Dodged a bullet. Elijah, man, you crushed it. You made what's usually a chore feel like catching up with a friend who happens to be really good at cars. You deserve a raise, a trophy, and possibly your own Netflix show called "The Oil Whisperer." So yeah, if you're anywhere near Houston, skip the chain shops and go to Costa Oil. Ask for Elijah. You'll leave with fresh oil, a clean conscience, and the strange feeling that getting an oil change can actually be... enjoyable.

Either way, I've never had a really bad experience, thankfully, and I simply wanted to write this review today of how much I appreciate the technicians there and the service staff. Big shout out to Victoria F., Hannah A., and Mitchell M. All three were exceptional in helping me today, and I have to say that Victoria went above and beyond, just making sure I was satisfied with my purchase and helping me throughout. Probably the most I've ever spent in one go here, so it was nice to have such a pleasant experience!

Showed up at 8:55am for my online appointment and Jerry greeted me at 9 promptly getting right to work. Chatted with some other long time customers in the waiting area and heard nothing great things about their experiences. I told Jerry what I was looking to get done and he was very straightforward and honest in letting me know what they were going to look at and even doing a walkthrough with me of their findings and suggestions. After talking it over with him a bit, ended up getting new pads, rotors machined, new calipers, alignment done (lifetime warranty), as well as take advantage of their oil change coupon book from the holidays (4 for the price of 3). He walked me over to their computer and showed him adding in the individual services and applying the applicable discount at the time (online appointment is a MUST!) so everything was as transparent as possible. All in all, I was extremely pleased with my visit here and will definitely be back as I think I've now found a place where I can leave my car in hands I trust.

Absolutely terrible experience with Brake Check -- avoid at all costs…read more I brought my truck in for a simple alignment after installing new tires. It still pulled slightly to the right, so I returned and was told to "drive it more and then bring it back." No big deal. When I took it to another Brake Check location closer to my daughter's school for a quick fine-tune, things went downhill fast. The tech spent an hour and a half on my truck, only to eventually tell me they didn't know how to get it aligned. When I got my truck back, it was noticeably worse than before: a loud clunking sound, a hard pull to the right, and my front tire was rubbing the fender badly, something it had never done unless at full lock. Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, I took it back to the original location hoping they could at least return it to the baseline they had set. They worked on it for maybe 10 minutes and handed it back still in terrible condition. At that point I had no choice but to take it to a reputable shop--NXT Up Offroad & Performance--who thankfully fixed everything. They immediately found a loose bolt causing the clunking sound. Yes, Brake Check literally sent me on the road with suspension components not tightened. They also confirmed the alignment was so far out of spec that it would've ruined my $1,900 tires prematurely. I contacted Brake Check asking them to reimburse the cost of repairing their negligence. Even with clear evidence, their Vice President refused and gave me a bizarre analogy about buying a taco at one restaurant, not liking it, and then asking another restaurant to replace it. Not only is that analogy terrible, it completely ignores the fact that Brake Check's work was unsafe and caused additional damage. Bottom line: I wouldn't recommend Brake Check to my worst enemy. They do sloppy, careless work, don't take responsibility for their mistakes, and their negligence could cost you thousands--or worse, cause an accident. Save yourself the headache and take your vehicle somewhere reputable.

Even the waiting room reflects that -- they have a Bible there if you want to spend your time reading the Word while you wait. I'll absolutely be bringing all of my vehicles here from now on.

There are two firestones for the woodlands part of I45, the one up by the Walmart on the southbound frontage road, and this one just north of the Raeford Road exit on the northbound frontage road. This is the northbound one. That does put it on the "other side of the tracks" -- the Shenandoah rather than the Woodlands side of the freeway. Undoubtedly, this is a more working-class neighborhood--Mexican meat market, a tattoo place, and a Mexican restaurant share the strip mall. But the crew is better. The people are better than the Woodlands location. The place is run by an African American gentleman who probably opened the place--seems to have been there forever, and his crew are all experienced mechanics. He went above and beyond calling other firestones to track down my truck's lifetime alignment, suggested the coupons for discounts and they really did me right on the tires, mounting and balancing, and alignment--I watched them through the big plate glass windows. These aren't high school kids, they are 20-year-old men. That says something about the manager and the culture. I have never had a better experience at a Firestone, and now I cross the tracks every time to use these guys.
