We have never hesitated taking our cars to Kindall. Nick & Billy are friendly, professional, reasonable, honest and always repair our vehicles! we have recommended them to others who have had the same experience. Waiting area is neat & clean with coffee & water always available. read more

I have taken my car to Kindall since I moved to the Heights years ago. They are honest and efficient and a great group of people. It's rare to find places you can trust with your car these days! read more

Starting going there in i believe July of 2023. Had brake job on mitsubishi suv, f150 ac compressor, dodge truck alternator/radiator And other misc. Work. Fair price, good work and quick. read more

I'm relatively new to Houston so I don't know any auto shops, so I headed to Yelp / google to find one. Luckily for me, Kindall Automotive was first (and ultimately, the only) on my list. I had to change my license plates, but couldn't due to a rusty screw... and in doing that, I stripped the screw LOL ;__; so I needed to find someone who could help me. I came in and Daniel helped me! I was only expecting him to help me with that one screw, but he ended up changing my plates for me, even as far as putting my registration sticker on. It was such a small thing to him, but it meant so much to me. I'm sooo grateful for his kindness. In a world where many folks get taken advantage of, I know I can trust Kindall Automotive with my car repairs. Def will be recommending this shop to my friends! read more

I absolutely love this place. It has been my to go to spot for oil changes and other car needs for years. The staff values their guests and I always feel well taken care of. read more

My go-to for years now. Always fast and friendly. They remember their customers, even if it's been months.

I've come here twice now for an oil change since moving to this side of town. They are friendly and fairly quick I don't think I've waited more than about 30 minutes both times. They value their customers and I've seen first hand as a gentleman came in and brought pizza for one of the workers who helped with his tune up the other week. He praised the business and said he told his whole neighborhood to come visit Kindall Automotive. It was great to witness. Come in for your automotive needs! read more

Absolutely amazing customer service! Great work! When I called initially the gentleman I spoke with was very attentive and provided me with all the details and information I would need. He treated me with respect which prompted me to go ahead and make an appointment. The price was very affordable! I am glad to say I have finally found a mechanic that I can trust! Thank you for being honest and doing such a great job with my car. I will definitely recommend this place and continue to speak highly of this business! A++++ read more

Sincere, knowledgeable mechanics working here at all times. I appreciate the explanation and care the tech took to help us out with an issue at no charge. He even requested we return to confirm the issue is resolved. Will definitely return for my car care needs over any dealership. read more

Daniel and his team provided excellent service. Instead of blindly following the dealership's recommendation for a brake job, Daniel inspected my car and found that my brake pads still had over 50% of their life left. He didn't charge me for the inspection. I will definitely make them my go-to mechanics from now on! read more

My one and only stop for all my mechanical needs. Love these guys! Always good to deal with and prices are amazing!

Can't recommend these guys enough. I have regularly gone to Kindall for repairs and inspections, and have always left with the impression that they are hard-working and honest. Right before writing this, they patched a piece of plastic that had come loose and was dragging on the bottom of my car and sent me off without requesting payment. If a repair is counter-productively expensive, they'll let you know. They are definitely mechanics you can trust. read more

This place is great! They are prompt for appointments, have a clean waiting area, fair pricing and are happy to explain the issues to be addressed. As a younger female, going to the auto repair shop can feel like a struggle, but I have never felt as though they've treated me any differently. In the event that service needs to be done elsewhere (body work, make-specific, etc), they have recommendations at hand, which increases my trust in them. Couldn't recommend them more! read more

Excellent service, highly recommended They're staff is really nice. They are efficient and their services is one of the best in the hole heights area. They also give you water and coffee on they waiting room. read more

Kindall Automotive - Great attention - Auto Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

Was searching for a place to get my car inspected. Stumbled upon this place during my search. The guys working there were super friendly, and were able to get my car in and out in about 30 minutes or less. Waiting room was comfortable, which is a plus because I had my two kids with me that day. Appreciate the quick and efficient service, I will be back for next year's inspection! read more

My experience was very quick! Was greeted by a polite staff member who directed me to the car inspector. My car inspection was maybe 10-15minutes max (honestly felt much less) and I was off on my way. The interior was very spacious with water and coffee available. I was the only person in the waiting area at the time but i saw employees wear their masks and felt safe and reassured in this experience. Will definitely come back here for future needs! read more

Had a small road accident pulled in and these guys help me out within minutes so I can get back on the road. These guys are the classic local auto shop that we have all grown to miss. Make these guys your go to!!! read more

Poor customer service. Called to try to setup a appointment to repair my ac for my car. Wanted to see if there was any evaluation fee. They would just tell me they will tell me when I arrive instead of allowing me to be prepared for any fees. Not worth a second look. read more

Kindall is my new 'go-to' place for repairs and maintenance on my BMW X5. I took it in for an oil change and brake pad replacement and they not only did those at a reasonable price, but they also got my a/c and external USB connection working. It may have only been some settings that needed adjustment, but I couldn't figure out how to reset them. I didn't even mention to them that I was having problems, so imagine my surprise when I got the car back and both were working properly! I've never had any shop go above and beyond like this. Wish I had found them long ago! read more

Great staff. The ship is completely spotless. It's what you want to see when you pull up

I've been being my car to Kindall the last 2 years. They take appointments and would recommend giving them a try. The last repair they did in my car was fixing an oil leak and brakes all the way around. I got my car back in 2 days because they had to wait on parts, because I'm working remotely I really didn't need my car anyway so that wasn't an issue for me. Very satisfied customer. read more

Super quick and easy in and out in like 15 minutes for an inspection. Very friendly and could tell they had nice conversations with other clients as well. read more

Super Friendly Super Fast inspection!! Found in Yelp and was very happy. In & out in less than 15 minutes at 4 Pm read more

I used to live in the Heights My neighbor told me about this place years ago and ironically my Jeep broke down several blocks from them. I found out for myself how great this place is. They fixed the rod holding up the hood with out asking. That is TRUE car care in my book Affordable and friendly service Awesome Job read more

Just used for first time, ac relay switch replacement. Had other questions about service. All answered and not to make business for themselves. They gave me the options and said what they would do if them. I really like having a place I can have my 14 F150 serviced that I can trust. I found them through other reviews and had similar experience. My go to shop. read more

This place is great! I took my car here today because Master Car Care down the street told me my front struts needed to be replaced, and I wanted to get a second opinion. Daniel had a look at it and lo and behold, nothing is wrong with my struts! This place saved me from being ripped off and buying something I didn't need, and I appreciate how attentive and kind both the guys I talked to were, Daniel was explaining to me how to check when the struts/mounts are bad and he even aired my tires and did the whole diagnostic for no charge. When I actually need new struts or any work really I will definitely be back here. I really appreciate y'alls help and I would recommend this place to anyone!! :-) read more

Very disappointed with the work that was done on my car. Don't appreciate that someone was allowed to experiment with my car, as that is what appears was done. Nick is super nice and kindly refunded me the money that it cost me to take it to repair the damage his guy did. But the fact that this mechanic was allowed to damage my car further was ridiculous. He should have refunded me the labor costs...without me asking. I originally went in for CV axle replacement. Because the passenger side front axle is longer (attaches to an intermediate axle) there is a locking clip or "C" clip.). The idiot didn't attach the axle to the intermediate axle with the clip in the proper position, therefore distorting and destroying the clip. After driving to Dallas and having to go on a Sunday to pep boys because the axle came off...they reattached and we did make it home to Houston. They tried the second time. (Said that the axle was faulty...LOL). Nope. They let the same mechanic put the second one one. Same thing. the freaking axle came off again!! Third time Nick said that he would put it on himself. And it came off again. Never was a faulty axle. Was the idiot screwing up the clip. Had to take it to another shop in Houston for them to tell me that it will not attach since the C clip was damaged. So we had to purchase and intermediate axle with an original C clip. (Clips cannot be purchased). Like I said. Nick did reimburse me for he money I spent...hence the one star. But this mechanic needs to find other work and Nick should not employee him. I am sad that he allowed him to work and experiment on my car. Another note... their driveway is screwed up. Be aware. There is a fire hydrant in the MIDDLE of the driveway, down a slight incline. If your vehicle is taller, like mine, and there are cars parked near this, you may not see it. You sure as heck cannot see the orange cone that sits in front of it since it is SHORTER than the damn hydrant. (See pics) I bumped it. Not knowing what I "slightly" bumped, I put my car in reverse. The side of the hydrant had a hold on my fender and ripped a hole in it as I backed up. And then ripped off my bumper or at least ripped the clamps off that hold it on. Needless to say, I hate this place. Now I need to repair the lower have of my bumper. I SHOULS NEVER HAD TO BE AT THIS DAMN PLACE A THIRD TIME FOR THE SAME WORK. I BLAME THEM. Put a flag up or something. Lol. And he told me after I hit it that someone had hit it the other day. ...and they haven't done anything about it?! Makes me sick. read more

Kindall Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

Kindall Automotive is the freaking BOMB diggity. :) Nick and Rey kick so much butt it's unreal. These guys are not only smart and knowledgeable as you-know-what, but they are also so HONEST and personable! They will tell you what's going on in straight talk and will not mess you around or take advantage of you. How incredibly refreshing. :) Here's a little back story: The reason we first went to this shop is because it is literally down the street, walking distance, from my house. We race cars (circle track) in a class called Eco Stock. Eco Stock cars are basically regular street cars (think Chevy Malibu, Honda Accord, etc) that are gutted, roll caged, and driven fast in a circle with other cars. Since our cars are not street legal (no lights, windows, mirrors, etc), we wanted to take them to get worked on at a place that we wouldn't have to tow them to. A place we could drive the Eco a short distance to. So we went to Kindall. After seeing how amazingly they did with our race cars, how healthy they made them, how much they cared, and how passionate they are about their work, we are hooked. I've never been to an auto service place like Kindall. They are usually pretty busy, but Nick runs an amazing business and definitely has the right people working with him. They get stuff done. Now we take our regular cars there as well and I wouldn't have anyone else work on ANY of our cars. Whether it's an oil change or a major repair, we are DEFINITELY proud to call Kindall our automotive shop. If you're in the Heights and are looking for a high quality, honest shop to take your car to, go check 'em out.. I promise you, you won't be sorry you did. :) read more

After part of my bumper came loose after i bumped into a pole backing out I rolled into kindall right as they were closing. He said he would at least take a look and although a full repair requires a body shop which they are not he put a temporary fix on the bumper so that the piece wouldn't because looser or fall off while driving. He didn't charge me anything! Will be returning for future auto repairs for sure! read more

How often do you hear someone say they love their mechanic? I mostly hear complaints but I do! I brought my car in for all new struts and shocks. A short while later I brought it in to have my battery changed and was told one of my new shocks had blown. Thank you for the honesty because I had no idea. They were guaranteed for one year and I was well within that limit. They replaced it for free according to our agreement. Yesterday I stopped in without an appointment because all of my break lights came on. I was hoping I just needed break fluid which was the case. That my car is 9 years old and paid for I try to keep it in good condition. I asked if I could bring it back to have the break pads assessed for how much wear is left on them which I will do. I know they will be honest with me. When I go in for an oil change or to get the yearly state inspection they are always timely. This business is a well oiled machine (pardon the pun!) but it's true! I give them my highest recommendation. read more

Very honest shop! No BS... this is what a customer needs to make a proper decision wether is good or bad. I will be a customer again.

I was very happy with my experience here. My check engine and oil light were both on.. I thought it would cost me $$$ so I avoided taking it in forever. Dropped by today and turns out I was just severely in need of oil. They fixed me up and got it running like a charm again. One star knocked off for them not calling me all day to let me know a diagnosis. Dropped off at 8:30 and then I had to call them at 3pm to check status..plus it took a couple calls to get ahold of them and the voicemail is full so don't expect to leave a message or get a call back. Nice, trustworthy mechanics. I'll be back. read more

Have been coming here for several years and Nick and the team have always been amazing! Super fair, friendly and fast. The shop is clean and well organized which is always a great feeling. read more

Nick is the best! He will tell you straight up if you need anything done to your car, or not! He will tell you to go somewhere else if he thinks you can get it done cheaper, very honest ! read more

Gave me an honest review, came here after a friend recommended. I had gotten a huge dramatic estimate from another location and decided to get a second opinion. So glad I did. They were wonderful to me! Highly recommend read more

Amazing spot, honest, don't scam you like other auto repair shops. Kind people here. Have fixed 3 cars here minor repairs.

My first experience using this shop. I WILL NEVER GO TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC. Nick, the owner, is extremely helpful and they have been straightforward and honest with me every step of the way. Had to have an EGR system flush and an intake hose repaired, inn order to get my car inspected. They found the most affordable way to help me and have taken the time to educate me and work with everything I needed. I will be sending everyone I know here from now on. Use this place! read more

Great customer service. I made an appointment to have a used car checked out. I was late but they were still able to accommodate and help me. You can tell these guys are honest and upfront by the way they treat their customers. I will definitely come back to have my car serviced here. read more

I took my car in to Kindall Automotive after having a horrible experience elsewhere. The Yelp reviews seemed to good to be true, but I figured might as well give it a try. Thank goodness I did!! The staff were very helpful, super attentive, specific to my vehicles needs, and efficient. I dropped off my car before work and picked it up right after. My car actually feels smoother now then before when it started to break down which was quite a nice surprise. I highly recommend bringing your car here if you need your car serviced. read more

I just moved here from Minnesota and being hesitant about who to go to and not get ripped off... I decided to go with Kindall Automotive because of their high ratings and fair pricing. Nick and his crew were VERY helpful and honest and in finding the EVAP leak from my check engine light that kept coming on. Now, I am able to pass the inspection and get my plates & tag. I will also say... This place is the most clean and organized automotive place I have ever been to!! I WILL be coming back! read more
