    These past few weeks when I have been struggling to use my car with two broken external handles, I…read moreWISHED I had the mechanical skills to fix my car. Since I do not, the next best thing was finding LA Auto which is Woman owned and Operated to fix my ride! LA Auto was brought to my attention thanks to the Projects feature in the Yelp App. I sent out a request for a job or service and Yelp broadcasted it to businesses to reach out to me concerning the service. I had initially had a different mechanic before LA Auto that was going to do the job, but a price change occurred before the vehicle was in their possession. Decide to nix that mechanic and go back to the drawing board acquiring estimates for the job. By this point, I had already ordered and picked up my parts directly from the dealership so they would match my vehicle. All I needed was the labor to complete the repair. I was really intrigued that there was a Woman owned and operated auto shop in Houston, so I decided to reach back out to the shop about an estimate for labor. My inquiry was Friday afternoon, so I didn't expect to hear back until Monday. Liz, the Owner, however, was in contact with me in and out the entire weekend asking for pictures of the parts to ensure they were correct for the vehicle based on the VIN as well as making sure they didn't need to paint the handles. She gave me a range on the price for the labor, which I could understand because she never saw the vehicle before- only pictures of the damage. We did most of our communication on Monday which offerred a great opportunity for me to get the car fixed that afternoon since she had an opening. I honestly thought I may have to come back another day to get the job completed because EVERY OTHER BODY SHOP I SPOKE TO said I would have to drop the car off just to get an estimate. I did that with one Pearland body shop and received a quote of over a THOUSAND dollars just to fix some handles! They even stated the labor was high because the panels of the car had to be removed. Thanks to Youtube, II knew that was not the case and Liz the owner and my mechanic confirmed my research as she completed the work on the vehicle in less than an hour WITHOUT removing the inside panels. She worked fast and I was even able to see her work from the office which provides a chair or two inside for waiting customers. A/C is blizzard cold inside the waiting area, so bring a jacket. This is not your car dealership waiting room with tvs and refreshments, so bring your own, but Liz worked so fast I didn't need to indulge in either! Really friendly, sincere, and affordable service from Liz at LA Auto. I am so glad to not only have my car repaired (FINALLY, with the exception of one small part that the dealership gave me in error that doesnt affect the main fix) but I am so estatic to support a small business owned and operated by women. I am telling everyone I know about LA Auto if they ever need repairs on their vehicle. This place is a real gem and deserves to shine!

    The folks at Thunderbolt were great. I had taken the car to an auto repair shop, and they diagnosed…read morethe issue as a transmission problem. I brought the car to Thunderbolt, and they check out the transmission and found it was not the problem. They found the problem was a bad wheel bearing, which was recently. I took the car back to the shop who originally replaced the bearing and had it fixed under warranty. Thunderbolt was very accommodating, and while they could have replaced the wheel bearing, they agreed I should take it back to the shop who originally replaced it. Their honesty and good advice is refreshing. I recommend Thinderbolt, and I expect they will take care of you, as they took great care of me!

    In reading all the bad reviews it seems like almost all of them have absolutely no clue how auto…read morerepair works. About three years ago, Thunderbolt rebuilt the original engine in my 1971 Chevy Vega and did a great job. The original quote was for the standard items in any rebuild and it was clearly stated that after the tear down the price could go up if it was discovered that more work was needed to be done. I understood this and only a ignoramus would not. My price did go up because more was needed but it was perfectly legit. I used to own a body shop and had the same issue. You make your best guess on what is needed with a visual inspection but after the tear down in almost all cases more damage was discovered. The insurance adjusters knew this but the idiot customer would push back, like they are here.

    My Experience…read more Pricing - it's fair and reasonable Turnaround Time - a couple of days Quality of work - after 3 trips to the shop (1 hour drive) my truck is still leaking oil from my oil pan and rear main seal. I now have to pay another shop to do the same job I already paid this shop to do. My truck has recently been painted and I now have scratches on the bed of my truck that previously wasn't there. The owner offered to get the scratches buffed but after the 3 incidents I thought it was best to get my truck and part ways before things escalated. Treatment - the owner went ahead and fixed a leak on my transfer case, other leaks on my transmission and didn't charge me extra. The shop also tried to figure out why my dsp5 wouldn't work and think it's my wire harness. End result - I received $700 back from my bill which is cool and now have to go spend another $2,000+ to have another shop do the job correctly the first time. Once again this is my experience. 9/18/25 - 10/2/25

    I would NOT recommend Desired Diesel based on my experience…read more I originally dropped my truck off to have an oil leak repaired. When I brought my truck to this shop, I was able to drive it there myself, and there was NOTHING wrong with my turbo or radiator. I was originally told that my truck would be ready within a week. While my truck was there, the owner repeatedly tried to sell me a turbo replacement even though I had not been experiencing any turbo problems before bringing my truck in. I declined because, again, there was nothing wrong with my turbo when the truck was dropped off. The original completion date continued to get pushed back. When I showed up approximately three days after the initial completion date to check on my truck, I noticed that the owner himself was not the only person working on it. There appeared to be hired help/other mechanics working on the truck. There is absolutely nothing unusual about a shop having multiple mechanics, but it became concerning after the problems I discovered afterward. When I finally picked my truck up, it was immediately not running the same way it was when I dropped it off. By the next day, the truck was smoking and having problems that DID NOT exist before Desired Diesel had possession of it. I also discovered that the nipple on my radiator had been cracked, which caused a coolant leak. I was initially told that the hoses were causing the coolant leak, and the hoses were replaced. However, the leak was actually coming from the cracked radiator. My radiator was not cracked or leaking like this before the truck was left in their care. The situation with the turbo became even more concerning after I took the truck to another mechanic. After removing and inspecting the turbo, I was told by that mechanic that, in their opinion, the type of damage they found was not consistent with normal daily driving. They told me the damage appeared consistent with a foreign object, such as a rock or piece of metal, getting into the turbo and causing damage. To be clear, I cannot personally say exactly what happened to the turbo or whether the damage was intentional or accidental because I was not there when it happened. What I CAN say is that my turbo was functioning when I drove the truck to Desired Diesel, I was repeatedly encouraged to purchase a turbo while the truck was there, I declined, and I picked my truck up with turbo problems that were not present before. Another mechanic later inspected the turbo and told me the damage they found was not consistent with normal daily driving. The owner comes across as very knowledgeable, seems to have an answer for everything, and is a good salesman. However, whether my turbo and radiator were damaged accidentally by someone working on the truck or something else happened, these problems did not exist before I left my truck in their care. If damage occurs to a customer's vehicle while it is in a repair shop's possession, I believe the shop should take responsibility for it. I should not have to pay thousands of dollars more to repair a turbo and radiator that were functioning properly before my truck was left with them. I brought my truck to Desired Diesel for an oil leak. I left dealing with a damaged turbo, a cracked radiator, a coolant leak, smoke, and additional repair expenses. Based on my experience, I would NOT recommend this shop. If you decide to take your vehicle here, I strongly recommend taking detailed pictures and videos beforehand, documenting how the vehicle is running, getting every diagnosis and recommendation in writing, and getting a second opinion before agreeing to any major "additional recommended services."
