BUYERS BEWARE: The…read moreauto mechanic here is a scam artist. BUYERS BEWARE Shell Gas Station, 920 Richmond Ave., Houston, TX 77006 On March 23, 2023, I brought my F-150 in because it had a water leak; this Shell Station auto mechanic told me the AC UNIT was leaking. This gas station auto mechanic said we could fix this the right way for $2,200 or the cheap route for $400.00. He stated the correct way to fix it was to remove the dashboard steering wheel, cut some wires to access the leaking AC unit lower valve, and replace the gasket. Then this auto mechanic stated that the cheap fix would be putting silicone around the lower AC UNIT valve for $400. This conversation occurred next door (900 Richmond AVE) at 3:35 PM when I initially dropped off my F-150 that morning. BUYERS BEWARE Today, March 28, 2023, I took my F-150 to my local auto mechanic shop (Crossview Dr, Houston, TX), and they said they had never heard of removing the entire dashboard to replace a leaking AC unit gasket with confused looks on their faces. They ran the AC unit diagnostics, checked for leaks, inspected the vehicle, and determined the windshield was leaking. I'm glad I DID NOT pay this lying auto mechanic $2,200.00. BUYERS BEWARE. Sincerely, Howard Venuto Retired Firefighter FYI: This is being reported to the Attorney General's Office, KPRC 2 NEWS, BBB "Better Business Bureau," and Harris County DA fraud department. Some of this was captured on my F-150 Dash cameras (For legal purposes), because people lie and video cameras don't. BUYERS BEWARE

This Shell station is located at the intersection of Richmond Ave. & Montrose Blvd. It's generally…read moreclean & the pumps work just fine. But be aware that gas in Montrose costs considerably more than that in Midtown & Museum Park. Gas at this station regularly costs 20-40 cents more than that at the Gulf (formerly a Texaco) just on the other side of Rt. 527, 0.4 miles down the road. The Gulf station even offers a discount of 10 cents per gallon, for customers who pay in cash. This station does not. Today, the cost of unleaded regular at the nearby Gulf station (at 411 Richmond Ave.) is only $2.159 ($2.059 for those paying in cash). The cost of regular at this Shell station is $2.699, a whopping 64 cents more per gallon, for those paying in cash (see my pic). And the Gulf station is more convenient for those getting on 59 South, or exiting 59 North. So get out of your comfort zone, and take your business just up the road. It pays to discover.

I never got that feeling when I brought my car in to this random shop. At first I confused it with a car washing place but they share the space. I met with Paul the head mechanic and told him that I wanted a second opinion on some engine troubles. I'd say I'm a car guy but in reality I'm a car admirer. When Paul saw the S2000 I knew he was a car guy. Another shop quoted me a diagnostic fee and told me that there was a crack in the engine somewhere with details I never really understood. Where did the leak come from after the pressure test? Where is the crack? All things I got vague answers for but their solution was simple. Get another engine for $5000. Traumatized and depressed I opted for a second opinion and I'm glad I did. Not only did Paul put me at ease he also found the leak that was causing the engine issue. A small hose leaking coolant to cause the white smoke. I'm very appreciative that shops like this still exist and they deserve our support. The diagnostic fee was $80 compared to the $185 I paid at another shop Long story short do some research, get a second opinion and come support shops like these.

Jason and his team did an excellent job diagnosing the issue quickly and accurately. They were able to fix the problem fast by replacing the timing belt and addressing related components. What really stood out was how clearly Jason explained everything. He showed me exactly what was going on and kept me updated throughout the entire process, which gave me a lot of confidence in the work being done. With the shop being just a block away from me and the turnaround time being so quick, the service was not only convenient but also a great value. I highly recommend them if you're looking for honest, efficient, and transparent auto repair.

I've only had state inspections and an emissions test here (no longer needing safety). The…read moreemissions test is $18.50. I've enjoyed my experience. Bonus points that it's less than 5 minutes from me. Every time I pull up, someone greets me at my window and takes care of it. I just show my vehicle insurance on my phone. I've never had to wait longer than 10-15 minutes for the inspections. Oil changes will take longer, of course. There's 3 bays that they work from. There are coupons on their website. There's a small waiting area while you wait. It's clean and has a TV and Keurig. There's a clear window view of them doing the work. You can also hear what's happening. I overheard some enthusiastic comments about my Crown. Haha. Thank you. I'm a Toyota person and had my previous one for 20 years. The nice guy who greeted me said he had his Camry for 311,000+ miles. Impressive. As long as I'm in the area, I'll continue to get my vehicle inspections here. Next time, I'll ask about their oil change.

I had the hardest time finding them (even though I have been before), because they are under new management and weren't listed on Yelp or Google Maps as an existing business. Once I was able to hand over my keys, select my car wash, and wait in the lovely outdoor waiting area (there's an indoor one too), the first things I did were to create a Yelp page and add them on Google Maps. I am always pleased with their service, and I know business have had to change hands over the pandemic, but I was pleased to learn that this place's quality hadn't changed. My car was completed within an hour, it was spotless inside and out, and it wasn't greasy! They also kept my driver's seat setting the same. I hope to return again, because it's always a good and reliable experience. Before the pandemic, I would always purchase some ice cream while I waited, but that wasn't an option this time. I'm sure it's time to return again (once all this rain subsides).
