Jason was very thorough with his explanation of what my truck needed. Given that my truck is older, he was very empathetic in letting me know what was preventative vs. what could cause more expensive issues in the future... as any consumer, I did some research and was able to confirm that what he was suggesting was reasonable given the age and mileage of my truck. Honesty goes a long way, which is the reason I've used City garage for 5+ years. read more

My father is 92 years old and took his car to brakes plus City Garage and Jason helped him. As long as Jason is there, we will be using brakes plus City Garage. Jason treated my father with the ultimate respect treated him well took care of what my father's needs were and got him back on the road. I would always recommend this place for your car needs.Thank you, Jason for being so kind to my father and not taking advantage of him. You are a true blessing! read more

My husband and I have taken both our vehicles here since our mechanic shut his garage down. The times we came in they were so incredibly kind. They're always very detailed in their explanations and they're decently quick to fix our cars. I would definitely recommend coming here for any of your vehicle needs! read more

My car broke down and I had it towed to this garage. All it needed was a new battery terminal but they ended up sending me a quote for around $3700 worth of other stuff. I had just gotten a new battery the night before it was towed to the shop and the tow truck driver even tested the battery before he towed me and said it was full. This garage told me that the battery was completely dead and needed a new battery. I declined and took it to autozone who tested the battery and they also said that the battery was completely full. The prices on the quote seemed quite high (around $600) for spark plugs for example. I would not recommend. read more

My warranty insured car needed a transmission. They did not work with my warranty, and I had to pay about $150 out of pocket while they sat on it for 2 weeks. They told me that they would contact the warranty company and not to worry about it. I had to use Lyft to get anywhere. So that is a high bill. During the next 2 weeks I finally had to get involved and contact the warranty, (Ally) where they discovered taking it to It to Nissan of McKinney was actually going to be cheaper. They fixed it. And it took them less than 4 days total. And they provided a loaner car. City Garage remained firm in getting their "diagnostic fee" before I got my key. I should have given them MY invoices for all the Lyft rides and gas I bought for other people to get me around, waiting for them to do their job read more

Seems the parts over pricing here is still high, and now..it seems their labor rate is just about at the dealer level. They do really good work here, which is why it's still 3 stars. I might have to start spreading some of the smaller stuff around to other shops due to the cost here. Covid-19? They have up plexiglass...that's it. No requirements on facemasks, although the tech test driving my car wore one. No one in the office did. Gotta give them a D on that grade. read more

This place is full of scam! I've done my balance and other minor car repairs, but later realized did not fix my balance problems. I went another auto repair shops, they all told me City Garage charged me "DOUBLE" and didn't do any balance of my tires. I went to back and asked from manager of the City and he says "thats just the accident" and he doesn't wanted acknowledge his mistakes. Please compare other places prices before even going this place! read more

City Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Plano, Texas

City Garage is the place you need to be for all of your car services! The guys here are the best, thank you Bryan for the good quotes and conversations as well!!! read more

Transmission oil on my truck leaked. Spoke to Greg Dossman of City Garage in Plano, He explained in detail all the options. There was no charge for checking the vehicle. They checked and provided me the estimate and after my approval fixed the vehicle. Very professional and courteous staff. They provide 3 year warranty on parts and labor on all of their work, which is great. I would recommend this facility. 6301 Independence Pkwy, Plano, TX 75023 read more

I made the mistake and took my truck to Kwik kar to try to get it done "cheap". Picked up my truck and was in worse condition then I dropped it off. On my way home I dropped my truck off at city garage and explained the situation, these people do quality work and good detail "you get what you pay for" They go above and beyond to explain the problem. Also City Garage offers 3 year warranty which is a lot better then the dealer. I would strongly recommend city garage to anyone who's looking for outstanding quality work. read more

i previously left a bad review but after talking to Tory and having things explained to me he set me at peace. the price for the fix even with them throwing in labor was still super high. i apologized to Tory for being short with him on the phone and we shook it out. we will still continue to patron City Garage. i didn't put into perspective that my Sienna is 11 years old and shit just breaks for no reason and thanks to biden everything is expensive and the supply chain is a problem and cars are 100% more expensive due to lack of computer chips. great job Brandon. i can't even afford to buy a new car so i just have to keep doing these small fixes. FJB read more

Overall, pretty good! Had 2 things repaired but it took quite some time due to their slow response and lack of follow up. I always have to call them for updates. However, they are very willing to work with you on pricing - you just need to open your mouth and ask for it. Worse case scenario, it's a NO but it doesn't cost you anything to ask! I saved 10% from the repairs. read more

Won't be back. I've taken my car here twice. They quoted me astronomical fees for some work I had just done 2 years ago. Their quotes are double, triple, quadruple what you would pay elsewhere. And, I don't even trust that the work is needed. read more

City Garage - Their quotes - Auto Repair Near Me - Plano, Texas

I was employed there for 22 years in total, I quit due to them stripping me of vac. Time and benefits, while going through a divorce and 2 kids involved, they care less about there employees and ever less to the consumer, I do not recommend any of thier establishments, especially if you own a newer vehicle read more

My pickup truck had issue . I couldn't get it started. My normal auto repair garage was gone; a victim of a purchase & pandemic. I took my truck to City Garage Plano. They did a diagnostic on it and presented me with information and options. Professional, efficient, communicative, friendly, and reputable. Highly recommend. read more

Helpful and trust worthy. I would recommend these guys as local shop that can do lots of things

This location did not give me a fair treatment nor an honest one. I came in for a car inspection which was failed for an absurd fallible reason. They said the belts (ac and drive) of my car were extremely cracked and that was the sole reason they failed my car. They then proceeded to tell me they could fix it for 177$. Well the product only costs 30-40$ and it's not difficult to replace, but they definitely were trying to take advantage of a female college student whom seemingly knew nothing about inspections nor cars. Fact: you cannot fail a car for a cracked belt. However, you can fail it for a severed belt. Also, my belts were not heavily cracked, they're only two years old. I drive maybe 6-7k miles a year. I would not recommend anyone (esp. women since they deliberately give us fake excuses to "require" more of our business with them) to do business with this scam of a business. For the owner, I am disappointed about this blatant scam. read more

I went here for oil change first thing on a Saturday morning, cuz I don't like to spend all day at any shop, even dealership services. I was hesitant at first but I went anyway, and these guys were polite, great customer service, clean seating area but smaller. Just your neighborhood mechanic shop. I love it and love how they took care of it very fast and perfect. I was contemplating on going to my dealership at 121 /Allen, VW dealership but was not happy with all the money they took from me for a repair. I went in for one service and was called later in the day about another issues, was pressured to repair it and I really love this ride, my work buddy, come rains or snows, this baby will be ready anytime anywhere.I paid this guys about $1200 cld not notice the difference. Was a total games dealership or mechanic ppl play. My car has not had any issues since I bought it new 09. I panicked so bad that I went and got another car for fun and I have to pay all that shit with two cars But this ppl did exactly what I asked them to do, not been noisy with other ideas . I just want to say thank you guys for your excellent customer service and will definitely recommend you to friends and family. Xoxo read more

Clayton from city garage was amazing! He came out to my apartment to replace my flat with a spare while he checked out what was wrong with my original tire. Maybe an hour later and he came to my rescue. So thankful for all the men at City Garage- Plano. They don't take advantage of you and they do such a good job! I highly recommend coming here for all related car issues. It's Definitely my go to place now! read more

They have earned my business as I was able to find the correct diagnosis with City Garage vs what McDavid Honda of Frisco tried to do which was rip me off and told me my front brake and rotors needed to be replaced when it was the back brakes & wheel bearings only. Will never take my car back to a dealership again. City Garage went above customer service as they showed me what needed to be done and got my car done so I could have it the next day so I could go back to work. Grateful for honesty and hope that becoming a regular customer will continue with honest repairs and reasonable cost. Overall the team is friendly and professional! read more

The people here are very professional and you can trust the work they do. Also they offer a warranty for their work. It's hard to find a good auto repair place you can trust. read more

The manager kept his word . Appreciate it. Companies with some ethics are hard to find.

I meant to write a review about City Garage for a while now, but forgot to. I used to bring my car there for repairs. They were very nice first to gain my trust, but after so much $$$ I had to spend here and there for non major repairs and later found out that they told me to replace something that did not need to be replaced(I'm a female person of color), I decided not to go there anymore. I felt that I was overcharged on God knows how many repairs and things that didn't need to be repaired etc. I didn't want to be ripped off any longer. It's not a good feeling. Later, my claims/gut feelings were confirmed by someone who used to work @ City Garage(he works elsewhere now), Now, I have a very honest, ethical mechanic people who take care of my car. read more

Love these folks. Went in because both our brake lights were out. They recognized us from having just drove by most every day. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel like old friends. They were very quick to fix the brake lights. We were in and out in maybe 10-15 minutes total. These guys are honest. One of the brake lights was being a bit tricky and for a moment we thought they might have to do an expensive electric diagnosis on it. But they just worked and got the tricky brake light to cooperate. They didn't charge a penny. I was so surprised. They just said, next time you need something, just come here! And we absolutely will. They've got a new life long customer. And I will be referring my friends and family to them as well. Thanks guys! read more

Needed a new AC system, three parts, the works really and they were able to fix everything within 48 hours. I was hoping for a quicker turn around but they had some issues securing the part from the dealership. Eventually the part needed to be ordered and delivered. Two months in and the AC is working well, I look forward to staying cool in the North Texas heat this summer. I don't know if they are the most affordable, but they do a great job and really care about their customers. **Bring your AAA card, they offer a discount :) read more

I had left the car early on a Wednesday morning and advised of the engine light code. I call back around noon and the store manager stated "It was about a 5-hour job to get into it and research it further." I called Thursday afternoon and the manager was off and the man that answered told me they had not finished with the breakdown. I called at the opening Friday morning and the Manager said he was 'off yesterday and would call me back when he checks on it." At 11:30 I decided to go and check firsthand the status and as expected NOTHING had been done. Two and one-half days they had the car and NOTHING done. This may have been the first Store City Garage Opened but it seems near impossible they have lasted this long with such a pathetic lack of honesty or service. Perhaps anything beyond an oil change and a quick repair is beyond their scope of services? I went for a location of convenience rather than the dealer, never again. read more

City Garage price gouging for un-needed repair.... Took Toyota Camry in for air conditioning inspection regarding new squeaking sound in the engine (appointment on July 29, 2015). After inspection, City Garage calls to tell me I need to replace the entire air conditioning compressor and the price quote is $1,439.84 + tax ($1,558.62). City Garage wants me to authorize the work. I say that I would like a second opinion. The City Garage employee says "You don't need a second opinion. You need a new a/c compressor." City Garage charged me $110 + tax ($111.62) for one hour of "work" when I picked up the car to take it to another mechanic for a second opinion. Be aware that the City Garage labor rate is very high ($110 per hour). I went online and saw that most auto repair shops charge about $800 - $1,000 for the Toyota Camry a/c compressor and install. I find yourmechanic.com and get a hard quote for $856.11 for the exact same a/c compressor installation. Booked the yourmechanic.com service online - they come to my house at a time that I chose. The yourmechanic.com shows up a few minutes early (very promptly). Inspects the air conditioning system and says "What makes you think you need a new air compressor?" I tell him that City Garage said I needed a new compressor. He tells me that I do not need a new a/c compressor. He tells me that Toyota a/c compressors are built solid and wear well. He says, "You have a squeaky belt on your alternator". He replaces the belt for $72.95. Problem fixed. The yourmechanic.com mechanic inspects the rest of the Toyota Camry, makes some suggestions, and sends me immediate written quotes for each suggestion. No high pressure selling tactics. The yourmechanic.com mechanic says you can decide later and book anything you want to do at your convenience. I will be using yourmechanic.com from now on. You schedule yourmechanic.com and they come to your house to make the repairs. Run, do not walk, away from City Garage. City Garage quoted me $1,558.62 for work I did not need done, when a yourmechanic.com mechanic fixed the issue for $72.95. read more

Okay I've been going to City Garage for awhile now and they continue to deliver. Friendly and professional staff. Highly competent technicians getting the job done and done right. Had an issue with the read drive train components and after a couple of hours of taking everything apart and assessing the wear and tear I was given a more than fair quote for parts and labor. Was informed it would take a day (possibly longer due to potential parts availability) to get everything done. To say these guys pulled a Scotty (Star Trek fans will know the reference) would be an understatement - repairs were completed that day and vehicle was ready for pickup early evening! Unfortunately I couldn't get off work to pick it up but that sort of turnaround is awesomely fast. No more high pitched whining, no more clunking from the rear end when coming to a stop, and no more oil leaks! Definitely recommended. read more

Brought my truck in for a ticking noise. They repaired one set of lifters $1300 (mostly labor). The ticking was less but still there when I go to pick it up. Problem was that the other set were bad as well, and rather than fix both set of lifters (while they have the valve cap off) they want to charge me another $1300 to fix the other set. They are good and cost as much as a dealership, but I would think the dealership at least wouldn't double dip, but I guess business is business. read more

Non-existent customer service. Lies, lies, lies!!!!! I called in for a quote on service rates a few times, and was told "we will call you right back" and they never do! Any place that can't even be bothered to call you back isn't reliable or honest. Go someplace else! read more

I'd been to several mechanics and even had one leave the ABS light on(I actually thought the car just malfunctioned). The CITY GARAGE was the last one I was going to try to fix my car's multiple issues that kept popping up after visiting different mechanics. Not only did they fix every single problem they also fixed the ABS light issue that I wasn't even aware of for free. My car actually ended up not working after the repairs were done, and I was informed it was that the fuel pump just stopped working. The labor was done for free, but I had to pay for the part. Keep in mind that I wasn't aware at the time that this would affect the "warranty"(another CITY GARAGE location only gave me credit for the part). Thanks Kevin and everyone who helped~ read more

Though they probably had other cars to work on, they performed the state inspection and had me on my way within a half hour (it was not busy during my visit). Thank you for keeping things simple and for completing the inspection without delay. read more

I'm visiting Dallas from Chicago. I took a road trip with my husband, my Mom, 16 year old, 3 year old, and 10 month old. We experienced some car trouble during our trip. My husband was able to fix some of it. Our air conditioner went out on a 100 degree day. He thought he could fix that too. We went to Auto Zone in Plano to buy the stuff he thought he needed to repair, but after explaining the issue the Auto Zone tech suggested a repair shop. He didn't think it was a simple fix. We were going to go to a place close by but the Auto Zone employee said "No...Go to City Garage. I wouldn't trust the place down the street with putting air in my tire". That's how we came here. The service here was AMAZING. We arrived in the late afternoon. My husband explained our air situation to the lady at the counter. I think her name was Danisha. She said she would have our car looked at right away. She thought it was dangerous for anyone especially a family with an elderly person and small kids riding around in Texas with no air on such a hot day. We walked to McDonalds while it was being checked. Turns out Auto Zone guy was right. It was a bigger issue that was going to take hours to repair. City Garage had a car take myself and kids back to the hotel. They could see they were getting restless. They helped us get our car seats out of our suv to place into theirs. Our hotel was in Garland so we had to drive about 25 min. Our driver went above and beyond. My husband stayed at the shop so when we got to our hotel our City Garage driver helped us unload our car seats and stuff. He even walked into the hotel to ask for someone to help us take our stuff upstairs. He also recommended a restaurant close by for us to have dinner. I wanted to tip him, but I didn't have cash. I texted my husband to do so when he got back to the shop. My husband thanked him again, but he kept refusing our tip. Such a genuine and stand up guy. We are beyond satisfied with our repairs and the service here. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely bring my car here again. read more

What a great team! Walked in and had a wait for an oil change and a Manager took it upon his own to complete the oil change happen in a great time! Patrick, Graham and Team are second to none...thanks guys! read more

City Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Plano, Texas

Before City Garage changed management in 2017 or 2018, I would have given them 5 stars; however, the new management is dishonest. They told us we needed a new battery but another mechanic discovered it was just a loose cable. We had several bad experiences before finally ending our business relationship. read more

My husband took his truck here as the AC went out. They quoted $2300 to repair. We took it to the dealer for a second opinion, and I'm glad we did! The repair cost $1083. More than a 50% price difference! If you are going for an oil change, fine. Do NOT take your car here for repairs. read more

Thinks it funny that someone else's review said they were even greeted when they went here. Came in and wasn't greeted and stood behind a man that were BS'ing with about pool repair etc. TWO guys behind the desk and not one looked at me or acknowledged the fact that not only I had walked in but was standing there while they chatted it up with a buddy. I left. I won't be going back here again. Gladly driving the 5 more miles down the road read more

I took my car recently for repairs and they quoted me very high prices for some work that was not even needed...$980 for a BMW electric water pump without labor, where another shop stated no codes were coming from the pump and even if they were, the pump would cost $560. They said that I needed new spark plugs...another shop said I did not as they looked to have been replaced and were in good shape, which was true...that repair would have been approaching $400. Also their labor rate at $165 per hour is very high. I very much question their honesty and integrity. Update on the cooling system work...just picked up my BMW from an honest repair shop and the cost with labor was $383.74...only needed an expansion tank hose, an upper radiator hose and one gallon of premium coolant/antifreeze...the City Garage coolant system estimate was for a total of $2,266.46 that included an electric coolant pump, coolant pressure test/flush2 pack and 2 gallons of coolant/antifreeze, engine coolant hose, engine coolant reservoir and cap, and a coolant expansion tank...the other shop tested and looked at everything and said that I didn't need or require most of those items and labor...now who is the morally correct and honest shop...City Garage Plano or the repair shop that actually honestly evaluated the coolant system and performed the required repairs?? read more

Initially we were referred to City Garage by AAA's preferred auto service program (non-insurance repairs.) Graham and staff are excellent, and always answer the phone when you first call. they will give you a solid quote if you know what you want done or what the problem is. When you call for status it seems like everyone knows what stage your repairs are at, or can find out ASAP. Repairs are completed quickly and if there is a delay they know how long and why. As to mentions of pricing they may be a bit higher than competitors but you also get a two year warranty on parts and labor. Thanks to a bad switch (OEM Ford part, not the shop's vendor) we've been back a few times on one car. They take it in, swap the part, and searched for alternatives for the future. That's what you pay for, a good repair and a guarantee that is hassle free. They are also comprehensive in their safety checks. They aren't going to shake you down for additional repairs that aren't warranted either. On one car they found a timing chain about to let go. The maintenance repair cost a whole lot less than a new engine when that puppy died on the highway. This is my go to shop, even though it's a bit away from my home and work. If you want it done right, and you want it to stay right this is your shop. Maintenance isn't cheap, but it sure saves money in the long run if you're dedicated to keeping a vehicle for the long haul. read more
