Highly recommended. Great shop, knowledgeable and professional owners. They'll give you a fair price & take you through the issue with your car step by step. I went in today because my steering wheel wouldn't turn. They fixed it (power steering issues). It's a trust-worthy place, which is exceptional. Rhonda the receptionist is just amazing! You won't regret taking your car there. read more

Hate Repair was a relief to find for someone new to the area and looking for an honest mechanic. Jim, the owner, is very nice and has a sense of humor when dealing with you. He gave me a well priced quote that was significantly cheaper than the dealer for a Lexus that needed work. He also told me I didn't need certain things fixed that the dealer was trying to charge me for. My car was ready on the same day for a brake job and Jim kept me updated with the cost before completing the job. I would recommend Hare Repair to anyone in need of a honest and reputable mechanic. read more

The plastic board underneath my engine was flapping and falling off, so I took it to Hare Repair for them to take a look. The mechanic did the best he could to tighten it up and I was on my way out in 20 minutes! The nice thing is they did it for free! Compared to the $30 I had to pay before for the same service, I am definitely a fan! Note that I did not get any other service from Hare, so I can't speak for all. But based on the Yelp reviews and my visit today, I will be taking my car back for other services. read more

This is the place to go to for honest, quality service. I have been a customer for several years and I have no reservations about referring others to this shop. These guys will tell if a repair in necessary, not try to upsell. read more

Jim and Eric know what there doing over there, i read good reviews about this place and gave it a try got a oil change changed spark plugs , cleaned my rear brakes, put a new ac/delco batt., they did a excellent job less than 2 hours, and saved me $200 dollars, versus going to the dealership for service.. be back to HARE again for sure,, read more

The first time I really used Yelp was to find this mechanic shop. I needed to have work done on my F150 immediately. The Ford dealership was quoting more than $1,000. This shop got my truck going again for less than $500 in only one day. They quoted me $650 and then beat their own price which I would've gladly paid. The shop is not in the best part of town and the proprietor has an interesting sense of humor but they do good work at a great value. My truck repair was done 6 months ago and it is still running solid. I now am a big fan of Yelp and Hare Repair; they saved me $500 dollars! read more

We took our 5 year old Honda Pilot in for power steering issues. Just moved from out of state where a chain shop told us it was a large, $2500 repair. The guys at Hare Repair got us in right away and took the time to accurately diagnose the problems. Fixed our power steering leak by simply tightening the hose and replaced our weak power steering pump. In and out the same day for $425 and my car drives like new again! I will never take our cars to another mechanic. This shop is 5 stars in regards to customer service, quality of work, and integrity. read more

Awesome staff and a honest repair shop. I come here for my oil changes every few months. I had an issue with my starter and they repaired the issue within a few hours. I will never go to a dealer again, since finding this place. read more

This is a fantastic place to take your car. They go above and beyond the call of duty. They checked my tire pressure and made sure my tail lights worked properly because one of them was malfunctioning lately (no charge for this). I went in to get my compressor replaced. I'm a college student so I seek the best prices - and they have them. They are honest and friendly! They do not try to rip you off like other places. read more

Hare repair has been so amazing to me. I went in when I had an issue with my car. Jim was very honest and upfront. The service ended up costing less than what he quoted me. They drove me home when I asked, and called with updates along the way. Great service. Honest people. So happy! Every time I call in for minor issues they have no problem telling me to bring my car in and they'll just look At It! I really do appreciate their honesty and integrity! read more

Best group of people I have met in auto, down to earth and honest, Jim and crew got jokes but they are serious about car repair, they are not price gougers the repair prices are very good and up front. I went to check them out because of the excellent reviews, people made about Hare Repair. The reviews are all true. when I walked in there I met a man who has been coming there for 22+ years, he shared his story with me also another person came in and joined the conversation he was still a newcomer but his testimony about Hare Repair was very good. I told them that it's good to find "The needle in the haystack" along the road in life. Yes as far as auto repair goes my Prayers have been answered! read more

I had Jim check my car out before a long road trip. He gave me honest quotes on the work he thought needed done. The work was done timely and the staff is great. I had the work done a month before my trip, and Jim told be to come in 2 days before and he'd take a look complimentary, just in case anything else popped up in the month before the trip. He wanted to make sure I could make the 14 hour drive. The car made it! Thanks Hare repair. read more

My car wouldn't start yesterday morning and Hare Repair made the process to get it fixed so easy. They arranged for a tow company to come get the car, quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed by lunchtime. Total time to get all of this done was just a few hours. The staff was super helpful and polite, the service was fast and very reasonably priced. Could not recommend more. read more

I too am way late in posting this review. I started using Hare Repair around 1998. One of the first times I went to HR, I had a 1984 GMC pickup that was leaking antifreeze. Thinking I knew what was wrong, I took my truck in and told them I was pretty sure the weep hole on the water pump was leaking, so I figured my water pump was out. They called me about a half hour later and Jim said "Well, I really wish I could charge you for a new water pump, but you got a leaky radiator hose. It's fixed. You owe me 30 bucks. Come get your truck". I was instantly sold. They could have easily said, yep water pump, and charged accordingly. I've been a loyal customer ever since, and have owned many vehicles that they've worked on in the last 12 years. And I have to echo one of the other reviewers - They've always been up front about what needs fixing NOW, what can wait, and when it's time to dump the car. Which did happen. I had an 84 Cadillac that started having all kinds of problems, but they straight up told me that as much as they'd like to take my money as long as I kept bringing in the car, it would be wise to rid myself of it. Which I did. The Caddy went to charity. Bottom line: Hare Repair is a group of honest, hilarious, good guys. Truly a one in a million repair shop. read more

I highly recommend Hare Repair!!! Quaint mechanic shop, minutes from US 59 and Chimney Rock, with a darling owner by the name of Jim. I discovered Hare Repair via Yelp. If you're feeling a bit skeptical about the great reviews for this company, don't be!! Jim was extremely kind, welcoming, and funny too! Jim's estimate was about 40% less than the estimate I received from Honda for some routine maintenance. He suggested that I order a master window switch from eBay in an effort to save $$$. The only reason I am deducting a star is due to the fact that the shop is closed on Saturday's. If I had my choice of ratings, I'd give Hare Repair a 4.5/5. read more

Jim is the man. I bring both cars to Hare repair for all maintenance and repairs. Jim is an honest mechanic with integrity and vast automotive knowledge. read more

This place is as awesome as it can get with regard to auto repair. I was referred to them by a friend of mine who has used him for about 20 years. I felt they shot straight with me with what was wrong with my car - they could have easily duped me in telling me it was a much more expensive repair. I was thinking expensive transmission repair, and Jim informed me that it was a motor mount issue. It still wasn't "cheap," but much more affordable than it could have been if I would have taken it to another mechanic. read more

I'm been going to Hare repair for 3 yrs and I tell you this..these guys are honest and trustworthy when it come to car repair. The prices are very reasonable, they won't charge you if its a quick fix and won't tried to sell you more services that you don't need like most auto shops. I definitely would recommend anyone to them. read more

I have taken both my Ram and my Nissan to Hare Repair several times for routine maintenance. They're honest and friendly, and the prices are fair. If they feel like you can save a little money by avoiding an unneeded repair or service, they'll gladly tell you. Highly recommended. read more

Came here per recommendation and after reading positive reviews. However, my experience has been the opposite. I brought my car there 3 times. They would say they fixed what they thought was broken but as it turns out either did it wrong or missed other related issues, so very soon after that my car would have even bigger problems. Come to think of it now, it's probably their strategy. For example, they replaced a coil in one of the cylinders, and it went bad after a month; the mechanic I took it to afterwards said it was the wrong coil! Also another time they pressure checked the cooling system and found no leak (and charged me an arm and a leg for labor). Well, soon after, the car overheated and the head gasket needed to be replaced. Jim Hare had the guts to say they'll fix it for almost $1,500! I took it elsewhere and had it fixed for $650!! Can you believe how they are ripping you off?? Bottom line - I found them incompetent, with shady business practices, and way overpriced. Plus Jim turned very rude and disrespectful when it was time to face the truth. Will never go there again. read more

Give them a try; it's totally worth it. When pepboys said they couldn't to do the repair, I decided to try this place purely based on the online reviews. I'm so glad I did. Knowing very little about cars, I appreciated the straight answers and no bs. Fair pricing and quick turn around. read more

Although it was a slight hassle to get back to the mechanic to actually do this, Jim insisted I come in and look at the issues he found during his inspection. As a person who gets clammy just thinking about car repair, I really appreciated him taking the time to hoist the car up, point out each issue to me, explain what the part does, and whether or not I really needed it fixed. He then gave me a list with estimates and prioritized what really needed to be done. I had taken my car for other estimates and Hare was the cheapest option as well. I feel a little bit more knowledgeable about my car now! read more

Jim and his team were very kind and explanatory!!!! I ended up not getting service done there, but they advised me of a mistake that was made by someone who handled my car previously. I will DEFINITELY be returning for car service in the future!!! Thank you Jim! read more

I came to have my breaks changed and Mr Jim evaluated them and told me I didn't need to changed them yet. He even gave me an estimate of when to change them! He is such an honest man that I will come for all my car needs without a doubt! read more

This is the 2nd time I visited Hare Auto, both time I had wonderful experience. 1st time the car was not starting, his conclusion is the connectors to the battery are rusty and fixed it under $20 for the connectors. 2nd time the Check Engine was ON with P0171 code, because of a lose connection to the Air Hose, just a visual inspection revealed the lose connection and he did it for free of cost. He is very honest. I would go back for any car repair and gladly recommend to anyone. read more

I have taken a number of cars (3) to Hare Repair after a friend recommended the shop. I must admit I was skeptical.... but these guys are AWESOME.... Now you are not always going to get good news and it wont always be a $25 buck repair but you can trust them to do great work for a resonable price. read more

The most reliable Auto mechanics in H town. They care for your car like it's their own. Best part is they are not pushy salespeople like at other shops and always recommend the best (sometimes which is the cheapest) solutions. Don't go any where else for your car care read more

Old fashioned, down to the earth, honest, what else should I say? This is my go to place for car maintenance.

I had a problem with the passenger seat adjuster in my car. A slick shop near the medical center wanted $1500 to repair it: $800 for the part and $700 for labor. Hare repair found a used part for $125 and charged $200 for labor, for a total of $325. They also checked all the fluids and tire pressures for free. I'll never take my car anywhere else. read more

I went here based on all the great reviews and on recommendation from my boyfriend. I'd been having trouble with my car starting for a few days. I had a very badly corroded battery that I knew needed to be replaced, along with the terminals. Mazda had quoted me $1500 to do this! So since it was running fine at the time (few months ago) I decided to wait. Well when my car was having trouble starting, I figured it was time to get it checked out. These guys were amazing! They squeezed me in without an appointment. Let me drop off my car and get it the next day (picked it up at 9am the next day!). Only cost $188 to fix what Mazda had quoted me $1500!!! I was so happy! I highly recommend this place. Fair, honest mechanics. No BS! No taking advantage of the fact that I knew NOTHING about what was wrong. I will definitely continue to come here!! read more

Brought my 2002 Ford Taurus in for a brake check at the crack of dawn, 45 minutes before the shop even opens and Jim was waiting at the door. Dropped my car off, got a call an hour later to let me know what work needed to be done and to get my OK..Got the rear cylinders and shoes replaced, and drums machined for $250 (Parts and Labor). Picked my car up by lunch and the brakes were dead silent. Works for me! read more

I went to Hare Repair a few weeks ago because my car was making a funky noise. The guys at Hare Repair took my car out for a drive to hear the noise and within minutes came back and they already figured out what was wrong. They called for the parts and within the next half hour my car was fixed & I was ready to leave. :) I couldn't be more happy with Hare Repair! read more

I highly recommend Hare Repair if you're looking for a reliable shop in the galleria area/southwest houston. These guys are honest and a pleasure to deal with. You will not be disappointed. read more

After I hit a pot hole (one of about 673,000,000 in the greater Houston area. We have wonderfully maintained roads here...said no one EVER! anyway I digress) I was pretty sure I had just ripped the from end out of my '08 Camry. I called my dad in St. Louis and explained what had happened. I told him there didn't appear to be any outward damage but that I had a pretty bad "vibration" in the steering wheel, and some other worrisome complaints. After some research he calls me back and says "you need to go to HARE REPAIR" They have great reviews and the "Car Talk" guys "Click and Clack"(from NPR) gave them "5 wrenches"(stars). I take my car in fully expecting to be told I need anything from air in my tire to I need a whole new front end? I didn't have a clue what was wrong. All that to say, If I had gone to an establishment with less integrity they could have really cleaned me out and I would've been none the wiser. The guys (and gals) at Hare Repair were great! They were able to get me in quickly and said "we will take a look and let you know." Jim called me back several hours later and said "What did you hit?!!" My heart sank! I said...a pot hole...? He started laughing and said "hey, man you get to pay me $20 to tell you there is nothing wrong with your car" "We looked all over it and you are good to go" "However, you have a small crack and some minor damage to the wheel, and may also need a new tire" He said he wasn't comfortable trying to fix the damage since it was an alloy wheel (not a steel wheel) and he didn't wan to cause more problems. He gave me some recommendations as to where I could take it to have the damage fixed properly. I was so relieved and have had no additional problems from the car. I feel that the people over at Hare from the check in to checkout and everywhere in between were fantastic! I would recommend them to anyone! Here are a few words that come to mind: HONEST, INTEGRITY, QUALITY...and the list goes on. I'm sure you get the idea. As I didn't have to have actual work done I can't speak to the prices but i think it would be safe to assume those are fair and reasonable as well! I will be returning with all of my future vehicle repair needs. (may they few and far between!) read more
