Joe, what can I say. His passion to help you stuck out for me. He is very honest and transparent about the repair and cost. I will be back!
Very polite and professional. Ive always had a positive experience with them. My car was expertly repaired.
Everything is always good. Repairs were completed quickly and affordably. Better than I expected. Congratulations, and once again, thank you.
A/C not blowing. Working from out of town. 97 degrees and went to Joe’s. Ordered part that afternoon. Dropped car off before opening and Joe had it fixed before I had a break to pick it up. A man of his word and price was a lot lower than what I thought he quoted me. Will give my 88 year old friend his number and address.
They also take the time to explain the diagnosis, treatment, cost, and options to ensure that you understand everything.
Joe is wonderfully honest and he does great work. Hands down the best shop Ive had the pleasure to deal with in a very long time.
Joe, the Owner, knows his stuff..... but some of his mechanics dont and/or dont care. I took my car in 7 times for various jobs and had to take the car back 5 times to get 5 jobs done right..... Maybe someone didnt like me bringing in my own parts when a repair was needed. To many auto repair shops use the cheapest parts they can get for a job and then bump up that cost for parts to the customer. But hey..; its the USA in 2021 and Freedom is going down fast. All good things will end. Merle Haggard had it right years ago. Dont think it wont happen just because it hasnt happened yet !
They dont overcharge, and Id leave any of my vehicles with them. It comes highly recommended.
Customer service is 10/10, and this is the best car repair shop in Uptown.
Ive been bringing my cars to Joes for roughly 10 years. Theyve always done right by me and when there was an issue with a repair not being done correctly they would make it right. I dont expect perfection from my mechanic; I expect knowledge, honesty, and respect. Joes has all of these things. Joes son, Joe Jr., can be a bit to the point and blunt but Ive never experienced him being outright rude.Id like to address some of the negative comments (as few as there are). No one likes to have to spend money to fix their car, and if youve every worked on a car youll know that sometimes as you are fixing what you thought was the main issue you find a related problem that also needs to be fixed. Its never good news but its the way fixing things works. So if youre looking for a trustworthy mechanic this is the place.
Had a great experience with Joes. Really honest and trustworthy. Ill be back again for sure.
Honest!What else do you want from your mechanic?
They were very friendly and accommodating, and I was able to fit into their schedule. Im glad I stopped by.
Brought my there twice and was very happy with not only thejob but the fact that you deal with a real person
I had my over heating situation fixed, well, so far so good.
Honest and fair. Told me they couldnt address my problem and pointed me elsewhere.
Honest, reliable, experienced auto mechanic: these are seemingly magical qualities when you find them. Joe is a blessing. We depend on him to keep our cars safely on the road.
Does great work. Good prices
I got the over heating situation fixed for less than I would have at the dealership.
I drove in there early, they were already busy. Asked one of the mechanics to see what was going on with my car. Got on the ground, looked under, got up, went to the shop to retrieve some tools. Got under again, worked his magic, and in five minutes, it was fixed.How much?Nah, nothing for that.I was expecting at least a couple of hundred dollars due to part replacement, but he fixed the original part.Just amazing people.
Great job and fast friendly service!
I highly recommend this business! I dont know much about cars, but I have a 12 year old vehicle and it started making a loud rumbling sound when I was stopped. I took it over to Joes Auto Repair the next day and it was fixed within an hour at an incredibly affordable cost! They also changed my oil quickly for a small fee. If you are looking for a reliable local mechanic, come here!
I’m very confused as to how this shop has good reviews. I was just told that it would cost anywhere from $500 to $800 to get new brakes on a CHEVY IMPALA. He clearly didn’t want my business because he was rude from the moment I drove up. I guess people who go to him are okay with throwing away their money?? Not sure.
Solid auto shop, extremely honest and professional. Never felt like we were being taken advantage of. I would highly recommend Joes to anyone for mechanical auto work.
This place is great! Joe is a super honest guy and great at what he does. They are always fast at getting your car back to you, and they never try to over charge you. In fact, I feel like I’ve underpaid for some of the service I have received. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of an honest and reliable mechanic.
Joe and his team has earned my business for the last 2 years. There are many 5 star reviews here, and for good reason. Joe is fair, transparent, knowledgeable and, most importantly, honest. I highly recommend their services.
I’ve come to Joe’s many times and will continue to. They are honest people who always show kindness and patience with a genuine desire to do right by their customer. They get work done faster than they promise to, are very flexible and never try to take advantage. Just today, Joe found some issues that he could have taken care of and charged me for but informed me that the dealer would likely do them for free as he remembered a recall being issued on at least one of the parts. It would have been easy for him to withhold that Info and make more money off of me but he chose to be honest. This type of business is rare these days!
Joes Auto Repair is hands down the BEST auto repair place I have ever been to. I have had my car repaired here multiple times, and each time my need is met with outstanding service. The men who work here are trustworthy and friendly, and they offer very affordable and fair prices. I could not be more pleased with the service that I have received here! 10/10 recommend!!!
They do great work. Problem is everyone knows about them. So, theyre busy all the time.
As long as I live in Houston, I will never trust anyone else with my vehicles. Joe and his staff are professional, honest, hard-working, and courteous.
I wholeheartedly recommend Joe’s Auto Repair for any and all auto repair needs.Joe, Jr., and the other staff at Joe’s Auto Repair are kind, skilled, and businessmen with integrity.I’ve taken my 2011 Chevy Cruze to Joe’s numerous times, and everyone has always been extremely helpful, transparent, and offered great prices. Some people try to upswell those of us who are not very car savvy, but Joe and the team really seem to be focused on providing the highest quality services possible at an extremely reasonable price.America is built on the backs of small businessmen like Joe and his team. I come to Joe’s for virtually all of my auto care needs.
Professional, competent, affordable, and friendly.
Yup, really is as good as the ratings.100% better than the dealership I went to first (and never will return to)
Joe is one of those good old fashioned men of integrity. He will determine exactly what is wrong with your vehicle, and fix it and fix it well. And his prices are reasonable as well. I was recommended this auto shop by someone in my church, and it has turned out to be a good investment.Joes Auto Repair is one of those places that earns your trust by doing the job right the first time.I would highly recommend them.
Knowledgeable AND Super Honest - One of my clients has been going to Joes for over 20 years and he highly recommended this place. After we replaced the original battery in my 2013 Cube, the readings on some of the inside electronic instrument cluster stopped functioning (blinkers, trip meters, mpg, hazard lights) and my door locks no longer automatically unlocked when turning off the vehicle. The dealership said we “may” have created an electrical surge, when switching out the batteries, causing a spike in electricity which “might” have shorted out a portion of the body control module. Yikes, say no more..... That part alone costs over $400. So, I decided to visit Joes for a second opinion. Joe Sr heard my story and said he would first attempt to reset the computer (approx. $50). In the end, it was a simpler fix. The computer did not need to relearn its functions. A 10 amp fuse was blown and cost less than the original price quoted. Super honest family run business (Joe Sr and Joe Jr). Lesson learned. These new vehicles are more complicated than we ever imagined (one big computer brain with multiple fuse boxes). Let the professionals change your battery because you could potentially cause a really big problem. They have me as their customer for life!
Super friendly. Honest. You rarely find this in the car repair business. Joe and Max will be seeing my cars whenever car service is needed. They fixed the front end rattle on my jeep at no cost, flushed my transmission fluid and checked my coolant to see if it needed flushing (he said it checked out fine). Reasonably priced for sure!
Great service and people. It is somewhat more expensive than other service shops, but the service I receive every time I take in my vehicles is A+. Once an issue is fixed, it is fixed, I dont have to come back unless something else breaks, except for my regular service intervals. I make sure to follow the vehicle manufacturers service manual preventative maintenance intervals which makes visiting Joes a lot less than if I didnt. Whenever I have needed my vehicles worked on Joe has always been great, always available, performs excellent work and is quick but my vehicles are fixed right the first time. If there is ever an issue with a repair he stands by them with a great warranty. Though, I havent had to warranty work in my over three years of going there.
Extremely honest and outstanding mechanic. Joe is always there supervising and working. I took my car in for the 35,000 mile maintenance visit. I maintenance my car every 5,000 miles. All I needed was a new oil filter and new oil. They also filled the fluids. This cost me $95. Joe never, never, never tries to replace items that are not needed. Fantastic and wonderful shop!!I love this place!!
They were professional and kept in constant communication as to when we could bring the truck in. Found the problem immediately at no charge. Will be my go to place for sure.
If you are looking for a great place to have your vehicle fixed right the first time check this place out. Not only did there refer me to a great towing service ( Codys Wrecker Service) the driver came out picked me and my vehicle up and was supper polite.When I got to the shop the guys looked at my vehicle and was able to give me a very good price to fix it. The good thing it came with a warranty and that included the labor ( you dont see that ). I would recommend Joes Auto Repair to all my friends and family. Thank you Joe,Max,Ted and Robbert.
This place is fantastic. Ive brought my car here a few times and its always been well taken care of. The cost is reasonable and they are ACTUALLY TRUSTWORTHY. If you dont have a regular mechanic or think your mechanic is pulling a fast one, check out Joe.
Great place to take your car! Honest hard workers. I recommend them.
Cant recommend this place enough. Theyve done outstanding work on my car in the past. Honest, fair, and what every shop should strive to be like. I will always bring my cars here (Joe just better never plan to retire).
Absolutely the best mechanic I have ever encountered. Joe and the rest of the team are super honest, caring, friendly, and knowledgeable. They will tell you in detail what options are available to fix the problem and will work with you throughout the entire process. They are a genuine team who sincerely care for the customers. I recommend this place to everyone!The only advice I would give is to get there early because they are super busy all day. No surprise there!
(This is my previous review) Honest and reasonable price! :)(My new review that I add today) Honest and kind. My car would not start and I brought it to Joes. They figured out it is a battery problem and called to verify that I want to replace the battery. I confirmed. Later, they called again after they found out my previous battery was still in warranty and proposed to, instead of selling me the battery, let me borrow their battery free of charge so that I can drive to replace my battery where I bought it.
Great work and great customer service. Always very reasonable in their charges as well.
I was referred to Joe by Codys Wrecker Service and it was excellent! I was only in the parking lot for maybe 5 minutes and my car was working perfectly after Joe took a look at it. I almost took it to the dealership but I ended up with better quality service and a very speedy fix from Joe than I have ever received anywhere else. Thank you so much Joe!!
Recommended by a friend. Would recommend to a friend. Great service. Saved me almost 50% of my first quote elsewhere.
Joe has taken care of all family cars (including our teen, now adult kiddos). Youll get an honest assessment & can count on the work done.
Joe is thorough and detail oriented. He takes pride in his work and wants people to be happy. My family has taken cars to him since 1995 and weve always been happy with his work.
Our regular mechanic - because theyre honest, competent, and convenient. I was hesitant to give my honest opinion lest Joes get so popular they get overwhelmed! But I cant do them wrong when theyve done right by me so many times.
Timely, thorough, and perfect work on my car. VERY fairly priced. Highly recommended!
Didn’t have any services done, just dropped in for a safety check after I ran something over in the road. They said my car is safe to drive back home to see a more local mechanic, let’s see if that’s true. Very kind.
Our first interaction with Joes Auto Repair was when my mother was unable to get her steering wheel to unlock. They sent a mechanic to our home to assist and didnt charge us a penny. I then went to have my door ajar light and sensors checked. Turns out the sensors were just dirty and they cleaned them up completely free of charge. I also had a known oil leak that Id previously had checked out by 3 other mechanics. Joes fixed it for over a $1,000 less than the next lowest quote. This is now a go to mechanic shop. The work is always completed in a timely manner, the quality top notch, the price fair, and the mechanics are all so pleasant. We definitely recommend Joes Auto Repair!
Refereed by friend, we have used them 2 times now and so happy we found them. Honest and great work. American Plumbing will surely be a return customer and referral to friends.
So nice and professional. Fixed my under arriage cover for free.
After Harvey, the grate underneath my car had started dragging, so I took it here to get it checked out. It turns out, one of the screws had simply fallen out. Max helped me as soon as I pulled up, and fixed it in
Joe was a great Mechanic! He told me my problem (which turned out to be nothing) and was really kind! He told me I didnt have to fix it if I didnt want to, but if I wanted him to, he would. He also filled up my tires with air without me even asking him about it! Will definitely be coming back.
Outstanding service by an awesome mechanic. I usually do my own repairs but when I dont have time or tools, I go to Joes!
This is the first review Ive ever written for any place and its only because they completely deserve it. Honest loyal people working there. Amazing customer service and great car service
Always goes the extra mile. Great service, and they never take advantage. We go to Joes for everything and send friends there, too.
I asked for a full auto check and it wasnt done. I spent a lot of money with them repairing what they did find but there is still some major problems. Now I have to get a new car and all the money invested is just gone. The work they did do was great and the customer service was good too. I just feel weasled.
I live in a set of condos right down the street from this place. Everyone there goes to Joes, and I have to say I was LUCKY to find this place. Hes a good guy, just like some of the other reviews here read. I usually do my own work, but now that I moved to a condo with small parking, I cant exactly leave my BMW in pieces for a few days.I asked Joe to help out with a small item I suspected to be faulty on my car, and he offered to take care of it for free because it was a quick simple task. That afternoon I get a call that I was wrong about the problem, and way more more work was needed, like an hour instead of 5 minutes. When I showed up and asked for the final cost for the labor, they said it was still free. I mean, talk about sticking true to your word, even though I was at fault. Simply amazing. This shop is seriously awesome.
Always been great service. Honest, quick, good prices, and if they dont do it (body work) they know someone who does.
As honest and helpful as they come. He has fixed small things for free, seems very knowledgeable. I cant recommend him enough.
This is my favorite place of its type, and I am not the only person that prefers it above all others. Therefore, if you are not there by 07:00, they may not have enough space or time for you. My only request would be for them to please open a second location or expand their current location.Note that there are no tire services here.
I normally dont write reviews but this time I feel like I have to. When I brought my car in, it had a check engine light with 12 error codes and an engine stalling and dying at low rpm. I wasnt sure I make it to a mechanic.At the end of the day I came to pick it up and the problem was gone and they didnt charge me anything. I had to ask twice. They said it was just a dirty filter and I dont have to pay anything. So all the positive reviews are true, they are knowledgeable, honest and they are not trying to take advantage of you.
I took in my Acura MDX today to see why the steering was pulling to one side. We had already had the tires aligned twice (by Firestone) & a new tire put on recently (by Discount Tire). It appears to have only needed be tires rotated & the shop did it free of charge. Well be using Joes again for our next vehicle need & letting our friends know what great service we received!
My family and I use Joe and Max on all of our cars. They are super honest and down to earth!
Had an excellent experience with Joes this morning. Managed to hit the curb in the rain and bent up my tire and he fixed it straight up in a matter of minutes. 10/10 Would go back again.
WOW! I turned my car in to Joes because the dealership I bought it from said the ball joint driver side needed replacement. I decided to get it fixed in my hometown of Houston. As I pulled up,I met Joe in the parking lot, he seemed super nice. then as I told him inside the quaint lobby about my ball joint issue, he blew me away. He said that sometimes places will say the ball joint is bad when it isnt, but he will take a look. WOW I thought, thats rare. A truly honest mechaninc. too good to be true right. WRONG, I get a call from him the next morning saying ball joints are both good and the car is g2g!!! toally recommend this guy if u want an honest appraisal in Houston.
Drove my car up there, had to have ot towed out. Said my head gasket was dammaged and quoted me a price, when i said i would look elsewhere i got the car back and it wouldnt even turn on.....also filled my coolant up with straight water.......shady place.....sad they damaged my car....
Joe has been the family mechanic for over 20 years. Super honest, always flexible, and solid guaranteed work.
Best auto service I have received. Professional, worth trusting, honesty and friendly
Finally! A mechanic I can rely on!Pros: Knowledgable, friendly, explains things thoroughly, professional, gives it to you straight, and HONEST.Cons: Gotta get there early cuz they are so popular and always super busy!Glad I finally found one I can trust.
Joe and the staff are friendly and professional. They let you know how much reapairs will cost and when they will be finished. My family is fortunate to have found this business.
Always had a great experience with Joe and Max. Honest and top notch in all aspects.
Very fair and reasonably priced.
Long wait time.. high prices.. but if you want it done right the 1st time.. go here
Joe is the only honest mechanic in town. And he does great work! Thanks Joe!
Great customer service and honest auto repair services!! So glad I finally found an honest mechanic in Houston!
Excellent service and honest service and pricing.
Super efficient, no fuss repair. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Joe is kind, caring, and trustworthy. Thanks for the great service!
Ted is the man to ask for. Hell take care of you.
Agree with all the folks ratings. They are fast, honest and do the right thing.
Quick, friendly and excellent service.
Brought my classic car to this shop because it was in the neighborhood and read the reviews on this website. Quoted me one price and tried to charge me +$200 more. Also sold me a defective product. I would not recommend when other options are available.
Joe and his crew offer excellent service.
If you want an honest mechanic, look no further. Joe is a class act.
Would recommend this place to anyone !!
Joe is awesome, very honest and does great work
Paid a lot of money. Car never fixed.
Honest, thorough and quick.
Great and honest people
They fixed a problem with my cars battery for free
Honest and quick
Good overall
Very rude!
