Lino's Automatic Transmission was recommended to me by my "primary auto healthcare provider"…read more(mechanic) -- someone I trust implicitly. Because of the confidence I have in my "PAHCP," I felt comfortable taking my SUV to Lino's. My vehicle had been experiencing a shudder in the transmission -- a lack of smoothness when changing gears. Lino's checked it out and, rather than jumping straight to replacing the torque converter, suggested starting with a transmission fluid change and a high-quality additive. I had already done some online research and asked about a product called Shudder Fixx, but the mechanic explained that it can cause sludge buildup and recommended a better alternative. That's the route we took, and I noticed on the way home the shuddering has completely stopped. While inspecting the vehicle, the mechanic also noticed (and showed me a photo of) a damaged CV joint boot -- it had a hole that would soon cause the joint to lose lubricant and fail. I saw it for myself and agreed it needed replacement, so they handled that repair as well. Lino's is located on 29th Street in McAllen, just north of Business 83. Parking can be a little tight, as the lot is usually full of cars, but you can pull into the first gate and park where possible. After check-in, they'll move your vehicle as needed. The waiting area isn't fancy, but it's clean, air-conditioned, and comfortable, with a TV and remote available. Lino's prices are fair, and their service is honest and professional. I wanted reliable, and that's exactly what I got. I'm very happy with the service I received at Lino's Automatic Transmission and will definitely return if I need transmission work in the future.

I was sure I had ruined my transmission by letting my problems with it go unattended for so long…read more And so it should have. But apparently there was a leak and my transmission fluid was nonexistent. I filled it up halfway and showed up at Lino's the next morning. They spent a couple of hours looking for the leak but couldn't find it. I was asked to drive my car around regularly for the rest of the day, and bring it back the next day. They did find the leak, fixed it, but were unable to explain why I hadn't ruined the car. The cost to fix the leak was small compared to the alternative of having to fix or replace the transmission. They recommended I drop by any morning in the next few weeks or so so they could check my car's transmission again. I'll be there. Whew! Hopefully I can keep my 21 year old Subaru Forester running a while longer. Thanks, Lino's. I really appreciate your straightforwardness and help. - Kevin Shropshire

The problem is... It still surges after they did all that. I changed the EGR Valve and the surge went away...

They said that the engine had to be dropped and it required 22 hours of work for a total cost of $4,900. On August 7 2025, Acclaimed Auto Mechanic Angel figured out that the cause of the leak was the oil filter housing cap. He replaced it in 1 hour and for a total cost of $264.11 (oil and oil filter included). My advice, take your vehicle to Acclaimed Auto and you will save time and money.

Previously, I towed my Dodge Challenger R/T to their facility to repair a busted water pump. They performed the repair and finished the service as promised. A month or more later I returned with a follow-up question about the service. They were attentive, and went above and beyond expectations to make sure I felt satisfied with their service. In my opinion, respecting the customer is the most important factor when choosing a mechanic, and they excel at this.

Even though I arrived around 10:30am on a Saturday, my car was ready by 2:00pm. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality of work they do at Pete's. I called around for prices on the parts needed for my car and I calculated around $120 if I would purchase them myself. The average labor charge around town for this type of repair was about $130-$150. My bill at Pete's totaled $225 saving me around $50. My car is better than ever. Would really recommend these guys for any future repairs on your automobile.

The customer service that I have received for the past 3 years has been phenomenal at Firestone on…read more10th Street. The front desk was personable and was happy that I was doing business with them. It is unfortunate to say however that today was a very different than my previous experience with doing business. The customer service associate who shall remain anonymous left me shocked at their extremely poor customer service. Very short with their words and extremely unfriendly. I don't know if employees receive a formal customer care training but it may be advisable for Human Resources to consider a required training. I do not think that this situation is A-typical as my father received the same treatment from the same customer service associate on a previous service needed. This is just an FYI for anyone on the market looking for service to their vehicle. **Update** The service manager took good care of me for the rest of my transaction at Firestone. He gave me a lot of good information about my vehicle and he was very professional and knowledgeable.
