Houston Auto Repair

Informed and professional. Repair work completed per the order, on-time and per the estimate.

Update: it's been a year and we've been loyal customers! Chris and his team are awesome. They're honest, quick, and they do a great job every time! My husband was having some engine trouble and got an outrageous quote from a dealerships service center. We decided to hold off on the work to do some price checking and stumbled upon Auto Doc. Chris was AMAZING! He was very honest about the problem, how to fix it, the most cost effective way to do it, and what to anticipate at every step. The price we were quoted was hundreds of dollars cheaper and we couldn't be happier with the entire process.

Brought my 2015 Mercedes C300 to The Auto Doc as they by far had the best price on diagnosing my coolant system problem. Price for diagnostics and the accuracy is top notch! A few little reasons i did not rate all 5 stars: 1) Diagnostics revealed a faulty thermostat and fan assembly. $1200 to replace thermostat and $1600 to replace fan (same as dealership). I called another shop (actually a few) just to get some feelers out there and the best i found quoted $698 (parts and labor, huge difference) to replace thermostat with the same warranty. Still decided to just attempt to do myself which brings me to point #2. 2) Dave is a great guy and very understanding and explains things well but when i informed him i would attempt myself, it was made out that the job was a pretty big ordeal and would require special tools and would likely run into issues and when i can't get it back together, almost no one will then be able to help since they didn't tear it apart. Aside from normal tools, the only thing semi-special was a torx and a female torx set (which if you do any kind of mechanics, you would already have these anyway). From opening the hood to starting the car back up took me just under 4 hours to get this job done. On the other hand, i love tearing into stuff so to an average person (probably most of the people that stop by) i can see why he would explain it this way. 3) I ended up buying the thermostat and gaskets from him since he was competitive on those. Only issue was that i was quoted: the thermostat assembly - $239 and (4) gaskets - $146. My negligence on not looking at the invoice prior to paying but the thermostat assembly charge was $255 and (4) gaskets - $160. Tax rolled into selling price? Possibly but then i was charged tax on top of that per the invoice. Then there was also a "water outlet gasket" - $12.92 added. Gasket packaging itself said water pump gasket (which i wasn't replacing the water pump). Maybe figured i needed it on the thermostat assembly? Thermostat assembly already had a gasket. So that was a little waste of money for me. End of the day - they can definitely figure out your problem and explain why it is needed. There just may be cheaper labor out there if you search hard enough or especially if you are mechanically inclined and like to take on a challenge. Car is back on the road now with no issues thanks to their diagnosis and supplying of the parts. Thanks Auto Doc!

Great friendly, quick experience. Maybe a little expensive just to change out a headlight but I was in and out in under thirty minutes so I really can’t complain. Thanks again Dave!

Auto Doc is a treasure inside the loop! I was treated in a friendly and professional manner. Auto Doc provided expertise and fair prices on the repairs my vehicle needed. I recommend Auto Doc to anyone who asks me: “Do you know a good repair shop?”. Thanks!

The AutoDoc team continues to take outstanding care of me, year after year. I drive an older SUV, and get always work with me to plan service for both immediate-needs and potential horizon issues, so that there are no (financial/maintenance/repair) surprises. I always feel that Th way are being straight with me about labor and parts estimates, and they are excellent about applying savings promos (coupons, etc.) to get the bill as low as possible. Chris and his co-owner and the team are ethical and human—and care. I love in Montrose, so that is a plus, re: proximity, but even if I did not, I would travel to AutoDoc to receive this level of straightforward, thorough, genuine care at a very fair rate.

Auto Doc is always reliable. Good service, fast, reasonable prices, and always willing to take the time to make sure my questions are answered.👍

Always a great trip! Super friendly, well knowledgeable mechanic's! And that peach guy is great!

Happy with my service!

I've done business with Auto Doc for several years. One of the things they volunteered this visit was to pick me up at my place so I didn't have to walk.
