I have always brought my cars to Height Expert Automotive (formerly Heights Mobil). Service is prompt, friendly and most importantly they diagnose the problem and give you an estimate of cost. They also remind you of needed service so your vehicle operates properly, potentially avoiding more serious repairs. The building is immaculate in the waiting area, the service bays and the restroom. In my opinion, that is a business that takes pride in itself and respects its customers. I highly recommend Heights for your automotive needs. read more

I can't thank this team enough! Reliable and friendly service. Staff is knowledgeable and beyond helpful! Thank you Kai for saving me today! Customer for life! read more

I had a great experience at Heights Expert Automotive. I was able to get my brake pads & rotors replaced quickly, & received photos of the inspection & a price quote before approving any work. JJ is the man, he was extremely helpful & energetic & made sure I got everything all taken care of. Definitely will be keeping Heights Expert Automotive as my go-to in the future. read more

I'm new to Texas I called to inquire if they performed the emission test required for license plate registration. The individual I talked to (sorry I don't remember his name ) was very friendly, stated they do perform the test and gave me an idea of what to expect and how long it would take. He then confirmed that they could perform it now. When I arrived they took my car right in and the test completed in the length of time I was told. When I pulled into the station it appeared there were numerous cars waiting for service, (that's a good sign) but I was taken right in. read more

I dropped the engine-cap down into the engine area (after adding some oil) and could not find it. Took my sputtering car to Heights Mobil Car Care. They used a remote camera to spot the errant cap but could not reach it either. They put my car up on the lift and retrieved the cap (in seconds!). They handed me my keys with a smile. I asked what I owed them - they said "nothing." I was facing a 160 mile drive home and was worried I would likely do all manner of damage to my car with that cap off. They rescued me - with a smile on their face and a heart full of kindness. The world needs more people like Heather and Gene!!! read more

Heights Mobil Car Care was able to care of my newly acquired 04 LS430. Went in for an alignment and they for sure got it right for me. As a DIY person there's only certain things I can get done and there's only a few places I would take my vehicles to. This place is definitely a shop you can trust! Friendly and helpful staff is a plus read more

Heights Expert Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

Y'all they are the best, honestly. They remember you, or your car, and are always happy to delve into conversations about what needs to be done. They don't just say, oh it's your blah blah and walk away. I am buying my first car, on my own, and I bought a used 2024 Hyundai Venue from Autonation Acura. They have a 5 day/250-mile return policy so I brought the car in for a pre purchase inspection. So glad I did. The car had "secrets" as Kirk said lol. After reading what they had seen and looked at the pics, I decided to just cut my loses and return it. Glad I brought the paperwork that detailed the issues cause Autonation was like, oh we can look at it and then I showed them the pics and they said, oh. On to the next place to look. Still wanting the Hyundai Venue but maybe a 2025. If I look at another used vehicle, I will def. bring it back for another inspection. read more

I cannot say enough about Heights Mobil Car Care (or as I have always called it, the garage at that Mobil station on W. 18th). For years, I've gotten my car inspections done there, but I recently took my Honda in for an AC problem. They diagnosed the problem, explained everything to me thoroughly, and then fixed it. AC works like new now, and their price was fair. Later in the week, one of my tires was going flat. I pulled into the station to use their air pump, but they immediately invited me to pull the car in so they could fill it for me. They found a nail (and air whooshing out of my tire) and plugged it for a super-reasonable price (took about 15 minutes, max). Everyone there is so personable and friendly. Will definitely be taking all my car problems there in the future. read more

Rude customer service, inability to quote or even estimate basic parts/service without physically being present.

I've been taking my car here since I've lived in the Heights (I moved here in 2015 but not sure when I actually started taking my car), and I will be sad when I leave the Houston area because I will miss the hell out of this place. Always super fast service and I trust them all, with not just my car, but my life. Just real good, genuine people. I brought my car here yesterday (8/16) for inspection and wasn't there but maybe 20 minutes. In and out! Last October, one of their amazing employees, Ms. Lisa, passed away. I sent a message to Heights Mobil and Heather (the owner) responded mirroring my sentiments. She was such a wonderful lady; I thought of her when I visited the store yesterday. Keep up the great work, Heather and Crew! Y'all are the best. read more

Always quality service for both automobile inspections and repairs from a very friendly staff

I brought my son's car in for an oil change and a trip check before he made the drive back to California for the fall semester of school. I was a little worried that I might have to pay for significant maintenance service when only the Honda dealership service records were available on Carfax. He had his car serviced last winter at another shop that apparently didn't enter the records into Carfax. I was so impressed when Mobil reviewed all the records of what had been done at various times to deduce what was completed and what might need to be done at this time! It would have been easy for any shop to just tell us we should do "all the things" (for all the money) just to be certain. High marks for honesty! I will definitely bring my son's car back here whenever service is needed and I have already recommended them to another friend who needed service for their car! read more

At last I've finally found an auto repair place I feel I can trust. They always take the time to explain what is involved, and the cost. I don't have much cost comparison, but the repairs I've gotten there have been reliable and I haven't had any problems. Besides that, these people are just plain nice and always promote local charities. read more

I had been having the same issue with my car that another mechanic "fixed" twice with same results. Took my car here and after a few days problem wasn't able to be found. I was charged a small fee and was allowed to bring back when I was ready. They took care of everything, got me fixed up, fair price, better service. Highly recommend. read more

Last Wednesday I arrived at 8:00 AM. Dropped off my Nissan Rogue to have suspension work done. I received a text by 1:30 PM that the vehicle was ready. That was fast work. I was able to pick it up and beat the traffic on my way home. Thanks Kurt read more

Stopped in for a state inspection. Lady behind the counter was very nice. Took maybe 20 mins. while the dealership was quoting 1.5 hrs. Seem like very honest people as I was reading reviews on others being shady when getting a simple inspection. read more

I called at 9:45 AM to get a quote to find out how much they would charge to get a Volvo starter replaced. To which I called and I spoke to a lady who transferred me to I believe was the service manager, and he was quite patronizing in his tone, regarding the specifics of what I diagnosed as the problem. He said "how do I know it's the starter and not the battery?" I said it" I know it's not the battery because I changed it." Then he says "well how do you know it's not ignition switch. " I said I know it's a starter because it's making a clicking sound. Now, I don't mind the series of questions. It's just the underlying tone behind it, and the fact that they never called me back. An they stated they were going to call me back to which they never did and it is 9:03 PM as I'm writing this review. Also, since I know they are very responsive and they will read my review. I did get that problem fixed without an diagnostics. TLDR: starter was a problem and fixed it elsewhere . Main mechanic is patronizing. read more

I felt like I needed to leave a review for the great service I received, I found this shop on Yelp because of the great reviews and they definitely lived up to the expectations. I initially tried to take my truck to the dealership for a few items that needed to be repaired, I have an extended warranty and everything should be covered. The dealership told me on a Monday morning at 8 am that there were 40 cars ahead of me and they wouldn't be able to even look at it for a week, then it could take another week to actually fix. My horn wasn't working, the parking sensor was glitching and the rear seat screens for my kids were flickering. I called and spoke with Kurt and he walked me through the warranty process and told me he could look at it the next day. I received daily text updates and my car was done in 2 days! Everyone was so kind, and I felt like it was truly a carefree and amazing service. This is how all trips to the mechanic should be, I will be bringing my wife's car here for a repair soon. 5 stars. read more

Why did I not go to Heights Mobil Car Care for my prior oil change in February? Convenience. Simple as that. The 'convenient' place was open, so, essentially poor planning on my part. Bad decision on my part, because the convenient place up charged me on items that were not necessary. Lesson learned. Today I got the oil change completed and state inspection, all for less than the price tag of my prior oil change at the 'convenient' place. Again, lesson learned. Supporting locally owned family businesses remains a priority. Have been a customer of this locally family owned business since 2002. I promise not to stray again, it's just not worth it. read more

Came here on recommendations from Facebook groups. They held up. They were polite, timely and very responsive. They detailed everything out and explained what was and wasn't needed. That's right- wasn't. Most places just tell you to do everything cause they want the money. They are honest and a great value. Will be coming back. read more

I had always gone to Heights Mobil with my 2006 Saturn (which is still on the road!), until I bought a fancier car that I had to take to the dealer for the big things. Since 2013, I have gone to the same dealer for the computer updates and etc., same dealer, same employees. About two weeks ago, they called me to the front after my service and handed me an estimate for over $8000 in repairs and suggested that I buy a shiny new version. I said thank you, and then I went to see Gene at HMCC. I knew that he would be honest with me, and that if I did need work done he would prioritize which things were most urgent. They were busy, it was a Saturday, and the service manager said they could tell me what I needed, but they would have to do the work later since they close early on Saturdays. The "dealer" told me that my rear brakes were metal on metal and dangerous to drive. The mechanic at Heights Mobil inspected my front AND rear brakes and drove my car. He spent around two hours. Afterwards the manager went into great detail about rotors on European cars, told me the pads were fine, and that my car was safe. I did need something minor done to the suspension, but it could wait a little. Also, for loyal customers, I was told "no charge today" which after receiving that gigantic estimate from the "dealer" just made my whole week and relieved a mountain of stress after being told I was driving a death trap, even though the car has a reputation as being a very safe car. (So you probably know what kind of car it is.) Between the owner Heather who is there every day talking to all the customers and employees, and Gene who is a car genius, the shop is always busy, well run, filled with repeat customers, and everyone who works there is pleasant and helpful. It is so hard to find an honest shop with excellent mechanics and friendly people. I always wait for my car while it is being worked on, because it is just a fun and upbeat place to be. read more

Love this place. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. I used to only let the dealership work on my car but it wasn't as convenient for me to drive to Katy for an oil change. I went to another place down the street and I knew I made a mistake when I started to smell "burning motor oil". I stopped by Heights Mobil Car care and they took care of my car without any issues. I've been back ever since. I've met Heather and Gene (owners) and both were extremely helpful and friendly. Heights Mobil car care will have my business as long as I live in the neighborhood. They're not pushy and give valid advice and pricing is reasonable. Mechanics usually get a bad rap for the mistakes of others but I trust them with my vehicles. Thank you Heather, Gene and your entire staff. Rob P read more

Excellent experience!! I just moved to the area a needed a replacement drive belt. They had my vehicle fixed the following day. It was quick and friendly experience. Price was a very fair deal. No hassle experience. I am very excited to have mechanics I can trust just 3 miles from home. I would recommend to anyone living in the Heights area. The excellent reviews bothon Google and Yelp drove me here and they were very accurate. read more

They've been working on the car for ages. Went to get a simple thing done and they refused to help us. Said they won't work on the car anymore. Went someplace else, read more

Once again Heights Mobil was the superhero to my Ford Escape. Monday February 6th I had to have car towed there and had no idea what I could face. As always, they are honest, professional and communicated with me throughout. They fixed me up, I also had oil changed as I was due to have one with them. I left with my car that evening and my wallet in tack. Yay for Mobile Yay for Heather. read more

I recommend the team here highly. Especially, if you are a female and don't know much about cars you can fully trust these guys. I have 2 cars that have needed a great deal of work of the years and they have been thorough and honest in their assessments. That says a lot coming from a New Yorker that skeptical about everyone . Lol. Thank you guys for being so top notch. read more

Can't say enough good things about this local full service station. Pumps are flawlessly maintained (Windshield squeegees ALWAYS in clean water! - That's a rarity!) Service and repairs are honest, correctly priced, and professional. Great mechs and staff! read more

Went here because my 2007 Camry hybrid died. The staff her from start to finish was excellent. Appreciated my mechanic taking time to explain my current repair and what I could expect in the future. Was happy that I was able to even pay and pick my car up after hours so I didnt have to leave work early. Highly recommend this place to anyone that needs their car repaired. read more

I have been using this place for over 10 years and just getting around to write a review! If you want top notch service techs you can trust them go here! Would refer them to anyone! read more

They filled up the coolant but it is still LEAKING oh and when I left the check engine light appeared they fixed something else and charged a lot ... but not the leak i went for in the first place ! the check engine light was fine until i took it here read more

Even if you don't live in the neighborhood if you're needing anything from Gas to service on your car this is the shop! The most friendly staff and efficient work will leave you pleased, I promise. I am a loyal customer for life! read more

We go here for our flat tires rather than getting the free fix at discount tire that takes 2 hours. $10 and you are on your way in 20 mins.

I recently rented a moving truck in Houston to drive some item to my home in CA. I stopped by Heights Mobil Station to check on a dash light that came on and to top off the gas. I was helped immediately with the dash light, low tire pressure, got all of the tires checked for pressure and punctures, NO CHARGE! And to my surprise, one of the guys there, Gene, noticed that I had forgotten to close the back door of the truck!!! In my rush to leave, get the dog settled in the truck, I had forgotten to close the big back door!! I can't even imagine what would have happened if I had driven off with the door open and a low tire..!! I topped off the tank and was soooo happy that I stopped in. Great customer service!!! THANK YOU!!! read more

I came here to review Heights Mobil. But then, I noticed that off to the right, there is a review from a guy named Patrick C. I'm surprised! His experience there differs greatly from my experiences over the past seven years at Heights Mobil. I noticed that the they responded to him by posting the text of the coupon. It would be very helpful if he posted again in response. It all seems in order to me and I can't make any decision based on his partial critique. People rarely come here to post the good stuff. So this is me posting the good stuff. I started going to Heights Mobil a little over seven years ago when we moved here from Dallas. I was going to a privately owned shop in Dallas too and it was important to me to find a great one here. And I did. Heights Mobil ... well, I would go any place else now. I have always felt like I am treated very fairly there and it is nice to go some place where they know my name. There are times when more needs to be done than I expected, but more times than not, they have advised me to wait on certain things that really didn't need to be done at that time. I used to think that there were things that I needed to go to the dealership to have done. In time, I learned the their work is exceptional, every bit as good as the dealership. They can really handle any problems. And I have never felt like I pay more there than other places. You know one of the things I like best? I take my car there every time I am headed out of town just so they can do a quick check of everything to be sure I will be safe on the raood. The charge for that? NOTHING !!! : -) And I am SO LAZY that I can take my registration sticker there when it comes in the mail and they will put it on for me !!! read more

Over the past 2-years this has been our go-to shop for regular maintenance and repairs. They have qualified mechanics that can service my wife's MB. Honest, knowledgeable and easy to work with. read more

I have never left a review for anything on Yelp, but this is the best place to go if you need anything done/fixed/looked into for your car. I had a very complex car issue and Heights Mobil did an amazing job of over-communicating and I ended up saving money in the end. Kurt is awesome also! read more

I had a small problem with my front end it needed ball joints and a sway bay replaced, the new one gave me a small bit of a concern , it made a small bumping sound at first, So I made an appointment to go back and have them look at my vehicle, The problem was resolved in 10 minutes. Thanks to the crew my vehicle was back in service. Thank You Gene and Heather. I give you 10 stars for your kindness and professionalism. read more

I have never had a bad experience here. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Oil changes don't take all day. They have a little waiting area inside with coffee and free WiFi. I've tried other places, even other Mobil stations and I'll always come back here. I used to live around the corner. Now it's a bit of a trip but I truly don't mind. read more

I went in on a Tuesday close to 5 pm (side eye worthy) lol looking to see how much my broken taillight would cost. They looked up my part, ordered it for me and handled me the next day. Super quick and painless. Thanks guys for taking care of little ol' me towards the end of the day on both days. Slightly pricey compared to the other shops I called around to but I didn't mind because I needed it to be done. read more
