They were honestly the best. Walter helped me above and beyond. As a younger person I hadn't known what exactly i was looking at when purchasing a car, He gave me tips and helped me immediately. Couldn't ask for better service. I would highly recommend these guys, didn't had any miscommunication or anything. Amazing Dealership!!!

Do not come to the shop THEY TRIED TO KILL ME. They put a bad engine and battery in my car and when I went to pick my vehicle they had broken my rearview mirror and previously they had broken my oil pan as well, My car was on fire due to the negligence and unethical behavior. They charged for a hose replacement purposely did not connect the hose and clap properly which damaged my 4 month old engine. They will break your vehicle then try to sell you one of the lemons that they have. I was ganged up on, and my car was surrounded by all of the employees and owner. They were banging on my window after they damage my property and was very unethical. I had to call the police. they don't not even want to fix the issues that are covered under warranty with the parts or labor. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT HONEST AND RELIABLE WORK DONE ON YOUR CAR!!!!! Please see photos of before my car went to then no lights no major issues and after they so called serviced my vehicle

Initial damage

I was so impressed with Montrose Mobile Tire and Wheel and its owner, Oscar. I had a harrowing…read moreFriday night with a client in town and a flat tire at Hotel Zaza (nail embedded in the tire). I was able to get the tire inflated thanks to the valet crew so I could get home but desperate to get the tire fixed before I had to shuttle my client around all day and evening. I found Montrose Mobile Tire here and was so impressed by the number of 5-star reviews. Made an easy online appointment for early the next morning and Oscar showed up on time and had my tire permanently patched in 15 minutes. He was so professional and helpful and I was on my way on time to pick up my client. There was a second part to the story, however. The tire started going flat within a couple of days. Normally this would lead to a negative review but I reached out to Oscar and explained the situation. I was able to get an immediate appointment and he discovered that he had had 1-2 other incidents where the patch had still resulted in a leak on this particular tire and it also could have been a faulty patch. Either way, he triple checked my tire for any other causes for the leak and installed a new patch and tested it, leveled the air pressure in all my other tires and said to call him if there are any other issues with it. While it took two trips, I appreciated the quick response, the dedication to making things right and his willingness to address any issue if one occurred again with the tire.

Elite service. I was stuck roadside in the Texas heat with a flat and no jack and Oscar…read morespecifically made the entire process genuinely the least stressful anyone has ever experienced in that situation. Immediate phone response, transparent pricing, modern payment methods (idk why but rare for this industry), arrives 25m ahead of the originally quoted time, grabs the muddy flat tire out of my hands to put it up for me, and then immediately provides an invoice for payment. No predatory upsell attempt, no hidden fees, in and out in less than 5m. Truly blown away with how they turned a disaster into a minor inconvenience at worst. 10/10

I got a flat on my way to work Wednesday, put on my spare, and ordered two replacement tires online…read morewith an 8:00 AM appointment for Thursday. The online process was very convenient. When I arrived, the store was already quite busy. I'm not sure how many appointments they schedule per 15-minute window, but there were a lot of customers ahead of me, so the initial wait was longer than expected. That said, several staff members acknowledged the delay, apologized, and assured me I'd be checked in as soon as possible--which I appreciated. After checking in, I decided to drop off my car and run an errand rather than wait, especially since the check-in took longer than anticipated. Interestingly, the actual tire service was completed faster than my wait time, which was a nice surprise. They handled everything as requested: the damaged tire in my trunk was disposed of, and the good tire that was replaced was bagged and placed in my trunk along with my spare. When I returned, the team member who walked me to my car was friendly and mentioned that this is the busiest location in Houston--and that what I experienced was actually considered a slower period--which I found impressive given how busy it already seemed. Overall, they manage the workload well. My only suggestion would be to prioritize scheduled appointments over walk-ins when possible. Otherwise, a solid experience.

Once again, up-charged and unnecessary fees added when buying a tire. I was quoted a price, I asked…read moreto see a breakdown of the price of the tire, he said he would give it to me after I purchased, then he was reluctant to show me the receipt. I asked what the line for an extra $30 charge was, he admitted it was not necessary it was a warranty that's voluntary and he could take it off. He was very sheepish and seemed like a normal thing to get caught sneaky charging "voluntary" warranties that the customer has no idea about. So he refunded me, but tip to the wise, they "auto" add the $30/tire, ask to see the breakdown of charges before swiping! I'm a chick so take it for what it's worth with car experiences....he also was trying to hard sell me 4 tires, fearmongering that I could have a blow out at any time. Lol stay sharp ladies/lads Edit: service was very quick, but they did not adjust any of the other 3 tire air pressures lol. So I'm off to the gas station to pay money to put air in my tires after just being at the tire place. Ha, got me twice!
