Came in to get a transmission leak fixed, was told it was an axle leak not transmission so he didn't fix the transmission leak. Mechanic "fixed" the axle leak however it is not fixed. Went back to address the situation due to warranty and the shop was closed up and still has never opened back up again. He literally robbed us of our money and closed up shop. Documents say there's a warranty but we can't even get ahold of the shop. We're from the bastrop area and relocated to houston so to trust a bastrop mechanic and get robbed here in houston by one too is very unfortunate. Looking into legal remedies because we definitely were scammed. read more

I popped into Harting Automotive as my tire pressure for all tires were low. The gentleman that was working was very nice and helped me out immediately. Service was quick and he didn't charge me for adding air to my tires at all. Any other car needs I have I'll be sure to go here! read more

I was just on my phone looking up an address that coincidentally happens to be close to where I grew up. Your business just so happened to pop up. My family have been customers since the 90's. My Father insisted all of our cars serviced at Harting. When I finally got my license I was thrilled to receive the family hand-me-down. Although, I wasn't allowed behind the wheel until Bob checked it out first. The word honesty was often brought up when Bob was mentioned in the neighborhood. Thank you for continuing Bob's legacy of honesty and integrity. I know it will serve you well. read more

Highly recommended. Went in with several issues on my Tahoe. I procrastinated and allowed some problems build up. Was recommended by a friend and went in just hoping that they weren't going to try and sell me on a bunch of unnecessary repairs. Far from it. They did a complete diagnostic and told what needed to be done right away and what could wait. Then once we agreed on what I wanted done I worried that I'd have to leave it there and Uber for a couple days. Nope! They were done before I even got off work and even picked me up! Great service and even better value. Finally, a trusted mechanic! read more

I don't know much about cars so I'm always wary when taking my car into a shop. Greg and his team have always gone above and beyond to give me a fair price, fix my small issues and assure me when there may be a bigger issue at hand. I cannot say enough good things about them! read more

I've been going to Harting automotive for 17 years because they're honest, do excellent work, fast, and affordable. I highly recommend them.

If you need a good mechanic, this is the best place in Houston. They have kept my old car running safely for years. Greg is excellent at explaining what needs to be done. I am always treated with respect and kindness. I am grateful that an honest, qualified auto repair shop still exists! read more

I search around for a brake mechanic and while driving found this out of the way shop. They had good reviews so I called and had a nice conversation about what I needed. I made an appointment and had my car serviced. I was very pleased with the job and fair pricing . They offer a 10% discount for AAA members. Why take a chance with someone else? This is the place for good car repairs! read more

These guys are super honest and have always treated my wife well. Not once have we ever had the feeling that we were being sold something that was unnecessary for our vehicles. They're thorough and stand by their warranties, and have a quick turnaround. I can't recommend them enough! read more

We have a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7. If you're a classic car owner, you already know you don't trust your car with just any mechanic. Thank goodness we found John at Harting Auto. After Gebhardt's closed down, we were a bit frantic about finding a good mechanic who we could trust. Along came Harting. John has taken care of our Cougar for us just as if it were his own, and his work has been top-notch and reasonably priced. He also works on modern vehicles and is certified by Ford on maintenance and repair of all their latest cars & trucks. Harting has become a one stop shop for all our service and repair needs for our newer F-150, Lincoln MKz, and our Classic. John is definitely an expert at what he does. read more

We brought our car to Harting Automotive after getting the run around and an extremely high cost and time estimate from another shop. John and his team provided us the best customer service and had our car back on the road in no time. Finally, a repair shop you can trust. I definitely recommend using them. read more

My Name Is Karen Tais I just wanted to thank Jack and John so much for taking the time and fixing my car and did it for free Thanks so much read more

Excellent service from John for a front brake job. Got a much higher quote from another shop who also told me I needed the back brakes done when I didn't. They had me in and out in under an hour. Love their old school style waiting room! I will be going back for dealer recommended services that I normally go tot he Acura dealer for. Don't forget to show them your AAA card for 10% discount. read more

The best result of a bad car breakdown!! And a huge thanks to Harting Automotive and Lupi the manager of Napa Auto Parts of Houston Texas. Thanks to Jack the owner who was a huge help and a great guy. And Thanks also to John the service manager and his mechanic Alfonso. What a professional team. They helped me out big time and got me in and out in 3 hours. As a profession pilot car driver, time is money and these folks were there for me beyond expectations. They were friendly and supportive during a stressful situation that at most other locations would have taken days and required an overnight or two in a hotel with the loss of my upcoming run that I was headed to 900 miles away. What a great group of professionals who got me fixed up and on my way even staying after hours. And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. It was so good to be in the care of such good people! It ment a lot being far from home and out there hustling to make a living. This could have cost me a small fortune in accommodation costs and lost income alone. They really had my back. John took the time to work with and communicate with my wife back in PA about getting receipts from her to verify my Napa Warranty. He went above and beyond to work with her on the phone and via email. Thanks guys!! If you are looking for a professional team with quality workmanship and friendly service in Houston, this is the place!! Ash and Celeine Easdon-Smith. Oz's Homestay. read more

I love this shop! They are professional, and proficient. I am always happy with my repairs when my vehicle is returned to me. They have fair cost for excellent work. I wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else. read more

John and the entire crew at Harting Automotive are one of the best in Texas. They listen to what you have to say, they take care of the problems and they let you know how or why it happened. I have had my cars and trucks serviced by them since 2007 and will not take my them anywhere else. read more

Harting is first of all honest, I don't worry about them trying to pull anything over on us by doing unnecessary work. They are quick and efficient, especially on our company vehicles that need to keep moving. Also they are fair, we feel we are charged a fair amount every time. Thanks guys. read more

Excellent excellent excellent! Honest, timely, quality work from this crew. I've been bringing my cars here for years. John is the best at diagnostics, he will figure out the problem! read more

Went in today to check a misalignment on my Honda Civic 2007. plus the car was squealing when it was on the road.. just bought it 3 weeks ago and I'm fixing the little problems now. Came across Harting Automotive thanks to the recommendation of my uncle's friend who has been a client here for the past 10 years. They change my brake pads and told me the alignment was due to my tire which even tho the last owner said he changed it itwas a bad quality tire and was making it pull to the right. Happy with their costumer service and how my car is driving now. :) read more

I was hoping to have a long term relationship with Harting mechanic shop as I have a company that need our truck fleets tuned up ready for business. I was referred to him and since the incident the people who referred me found out he wasn't providing good customer service anymore. I spent over $2,000 the first two weeks on a couple of my trucks. One still has a bunch of rattling since they worked on it. I then asked if anyone specializes in vintage or classic cars. Now a days there's few mechanic shops working on old cars so I wanted to see if they specialize in them. John the front desk manager/owner said he could do it. I brought in my car and it took over a week for him just to look at it . I called to find out what the status is on my vehicle and John replied there was a fire in the engine I need to talk to you I then come over discuss with him what happened and as they were fixing my car my engine caught on fire and my paint bubbled up on my original classic car. The engine had sustained some melting wires and was burned underneath and paint he said that he would get it fixed and make it right. I waited for over a month and had lost money due to the vehicle not being ready as I rent the vehicle out for videos and photo shoots. Frustrated over a month worth of waiting he says he needs a couple of days to do the timing and make sure it's running correct I gave him over a couple of days went to pick up the vehicle and noticed the paint job wasn't matchingand had no choice but to take my vehicle home as I drove it home I noticed that it was worse then when I brought it in I figured I'd drive it a couple more days to see if it was the carburetor that needed just to be adjusted as I open the hood and looked further into investigate the wires were not replaced they were just taped up the carburetor is not tuned correctly and as I am looking over the vehicle and washing it I noticed that they did not spray the whole Hood just a section that it was burnt and they over sprayed the whole vehicle another words the spray paint shop wasn't professional enough to tape up or cover the rest of the car and the paint which was supposed to be on my front hood was splattered all the way on the sides to the back window which ruined the whole paint job not just the hood. I then called him and asked him how he would like to handle this and he told me that he wasn't scared or intimidated I'd I was surprised at the way he answered me and he told me that he wasn't going to pay over $1,000 I told him that you'd evaluated my car over $1,000 so I'm asking you to simply fix it as I didn't take my car in there for you to destroy it. His answer I knew this was going to happen. If the the owner of this company knew that this was going to happen that shows what kind of quality work that he does and pushes out until the customer finds out the truth. I would never go back to this thief of a mechanics and would give him a negative 100 if they had it on Yelp. This guy is a Weasel. Beware! He also hung up on me. Very professional owner. let me also add that he said he was going to work on it and another guy that's never worked on a car before actually work on my vehicle the untrained mechanic was blowing air on my fire trying to put it out. so another lie that he said he was going to do it and he said somebody that wasn't experienced enough to do it on an original vehicle that you can never replace the paint or the wiring as it was all original so be careful on who works on your car. read more

I hate having to pay for car problems. I guess they are as affordable as any. Great waiting room. Almost feels like home.
