    Inside the shop. Waiting area.

    Every year I have to get our car in Houston inspected. Every January without fail! This year I wanted it done earlier so I don't have to hurry. John's Xpress service is an amazing place! Today, I was going to try and get the inspection for the registration renewal. I pulled into their always full lot and a guy came over expecting him to tell me to get off the parking area. I asked if they could do a vehicle inspection and to my surprise, he said, "sure, I can do it right now." He told me to go inside and wait for the car to be inspected. In less than 20 minutes, the young man came in and said that my car was ready. I paid for it and was told to check the paper work because there was a minor recall notice on my vehicle. Where in the Houston area can you find a service like that? This is one place that has always exceeded my expectations. They are a wonderful, friendly bunch of efficient hard working people. It's very much appreciated. Please stay the way you are always! There's not too many like you guys anymore. Thanks!

    Speedy service. Front desk is nice and the mechanics will usually come speak to you personally about the maintenance they did.

    Dents (2) on hood - this is after we used suction to pull it out. This was the worse one.

    Been here for inspections and a tune up previously. These were done well and in a timely manner. Always dealt with Peter. This time we dealt with Chris. The AC was out. Had to get a new compressor. Was supposed to be done the next day, ended up taking three days. Was told the dealership messed everything up, by sending wrong parts and incomplete parts, and made them run around all over town numerous times. Either way, it is done and the AC is working great! Only problem: dents in the front end of the hood as if someone with strong hands had slammed it closed. My bf called to let them know. Peter offered to correct it at their body shop or anything else to make it right. Just let the employees know to be careful in the future. I appreciated that Peter did try to remedy the situation. Also, the normal old oil change we get down the street vacuums the car, this place doesn't do that. Anyway, the cost came to almost $1,400.00, which wasn't too bad, when I researched the internet said the cost of parts with labor should be anywhere from $800 to $1,150.00. So the final cost was a little over a hundred dollars more than the higher end.

    Battery, Windows, Vacuum & Tire Rotation... What a scam!

    Was way too expensive, feel ripped off. Ask about prices before going or they may charge way more than you expect

I can always count on him in an emergency, and he consistently keeps my cars in tip-top shape. Jose, Josh, and Hector are more than just mechanics. They are like family who truly care. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in the shop. Hands down, this is the best auto shop in the area.

    My Nightmare with a So-Called Mercedes Service Center I made…read morethe grave mistake of bringing my Mercedes C250 to what I now consider the most incompetent service center imaginable for some electrical issues. What followed wasn't just disappointing--it was an absolute nightmare that dragged on for over a month of my life that I'll never get back. From the moment I reluctantly handed over my keys, the facility went completely dark. Not a single phone call. Not one text. Nothing. It was as if my expensive vehicle had vanished into a black hole. I called repeatedly, growing increasingly frustrated as my calls went straight to voicemail, my messages collecting dust. The deafening silence spoke volumes about how little they valued me as a customer. Desperate for any information, I wasted my time and gas driving to their facility multiple times, only to be met with blank stares and pathetic excuses. The staff seemed determined to keep me in the dark, offering vague, unhelpful responses that told me absolutely nothing about my car's condition. Their indifference was staggering. The only thing that finally prompted them to acknowledge my existence was my threat to have the vehicle towed elsewhere. Suddenly, they scrambled to share what little they had discovered during their month of doing practically nothing. When I demanded an estimate and timeline--basic information any reputable shop should provide--I received nothing but evasive non-answers: "I'm not sure how long" and "maybe around $2,000 but not any more." No specifics, no confidence, no competence. Thoroughly disgusted by their unprofessionalism, I had my Mercedes towed to another facility the very next day. But the insult wasn't over. These people had the audacity to demand $379 for what they called "diagnosis"--a laughable claim considering they had accomplished nothing in over a month. Even after I fought them down to $277, I felt completely ripped off. The final slap in the face? They returned my vehicle with a torn-up floor mat and loose parts carelessly scattered across the floor. They couldn't even be bothered to return the car in the condition they received it. Their complete disregard for my property was appalling. Let my miserable experience serve as a stark warning: this place might fool people with simple oil changes, but they are woefully incompetent when faced with anything requiring actual skill or knowledge. They'll waste your time, drain your wallet, and treat your vehicle with shocking disrespect. Stay away at all costs unless you enjoy throwing money away on incompetence and disrespect.

When he arrived, he began insisting on payment for a diagnostic before even opening the hood or inspecting either vehicle, and then asked for partial payment just to begin. Due to heavy rain, he mentioned possibly needing to reschedule and said he didn't want to "abort mission." I told him that was his decision as the business owner and I would respect it. He chose to proceed. I also explained that I was planning to sell one of the vehicles and wanted it evaluated, but he refused, stating it would be "somebody else's problem." Despite proceeding, he refused to get out of his car and did not inspect either of the two vehicles at all (no hood opened, no physical checks). Instead, he relied on the codes I had already pulled and repeated that information back to me, then claimed I needed a transmission without verifying anything. He also stated that he "doesn't need to get out of his car to do a diagnostic." Afterward, he asked if I appreciated his help enough to send an additional $50. I offered $30, but since he had not performed any work, I told him that was not a viable decision. He later texted around 10 PM threatening to have my car towed over the $50. I paid the initial $50, but no diagnostic service was performed. I would recommend confirming all pricing and expectations clearly before working with him.
