I have taken my RV there three times now, based on the recommendation of my sister-in-law who has been using Potranco for decades. Rare is the independent auto service that the expertise AND several BIG bays (including four new ones) to work on RVs with auto chassises like mine driven by a Ford F-53. I had an electrical problem, but Steve, their RV specialist found it and fixed it promptly. The service advisors, especially Stacy who handles RVs, were VERY professional. They run it akin to a dealership repair and maintenance service. read more

After searching for a much needed auto mechanic, this place came recommended by a friend. We called and addressed the problem with my Mini over the phone and was told the diagnostic fee was $170...pretty reasonable compared to other mechanics in the area. No appointments given, business is first come, first serve. The front desk guys were super friendly, we dropped off my Mini and was told it would be looked at the following day. The next day we received updates via text/email regarding services. Received a call and found out the circuit board attached to my passenger rear lights were burned out. They had a guy that was already making a trip out to BMW for parts and we were asked if we wanted to go ahead and have the circuit board replaced, and gave us a quote for work and parts. We gave the go ahead and later on that same day, my car was fixed and ready to be picked up! My Mini is back! Friendly prompt service, we were very happy with the service. Big garage and big front parking lot. read more

Overpriced I took my vehicle in for an oil change and to have ALL the fluids checked and replaced. They offered to also replace my engine air filters. Now those were secondary reasons as to why I went. I could've had someone I know do all that for 1/3 of the price which I usually do. The primary reason I took it in was to have them fix my check engine light and whatever issue was causing it. I received the car back with low tire pressure. The check engine light was NOT fixed AND they charged me the full price for the job that was not done... They couldn't even tell me what was wrong they just told to me to take it to a dealership. Also they quoted me for 150 dollar oil change and when I go to pay it's suddenly 190 dollars.. didn't even give me a complimentary car wash after not fixing the main issue. A 400 dollar job at best turned into a 650 dollar job with no real results. I will not be going back and I'd suggest taking your money elsewhere. Conclusion: Overpriced and severe lack of result. read more

We are more than satisfied with the service on our Tiffin Class A Diesel Motorhome. The staff is excellent. Steve the technician was very knowledgeable & discussed everything with us. Stacy, the Service Manager helped us every way she could with scheduling & parts. The bill was fair for the service done. The owner & his wife definitely have the key to success because their employees have been there for years & years and are happy in their workplace which carries through to the customer. Thank you so much for your integrity of being a quality service center. read more

I went in for a $200 dollar water pump only for them to charge me 3000. Then they broke my ac and wanted to charge 3000 to fix what they broke. This is not a reputable company.

Potranco Automotive - Fixing my A/C issue caused by Potranco automotive, - Auto Repair Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I had to have the motor mounts in my Fusion replaced. The price I was charged was the exact amount given in the estimate without having seen my vehicle. The replacement parts had to be ordered from Ford and once they got here I had my car back within 6 hours. My car rides so much better than it has in more than a year. Potranco Automotive was recommended to me by someone who's done business with them for many years. I am very pleased and will use them and recommend them. read more

I made a 3pm appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. I was advised, if possible, to come in early since both services require a bit more time. So, I show up early as requested. My oil change was done (expensive as H-E double hockey sticks), however, tire rotation wasn't done. For $405 bucks, I thought, 'Surely my tire rotation was included in the price' NOPE!!!! They did provide me a small discount for their oversight (removed taxes) and advised me to call back and reschedule the tire rotation. I came in early and waited over 2 1/2 hours! My time is valuable to me, and I'm not happy! Needless to say, I WILL NOT be going back!!! read more

As always great people are working here. Kiddos to Tony and Gary . Accommodating. and friendly . Service in my car is great . There's always a wait. I don't mind cause they do a great job. The cost of service is cheaper compared to car dealer prices. read more

We had just gotten a new ac system installed and needed a recharge for the system. Got it done in good time and took good care of the car while working on it. Great customer service as well. read more

I am new in town and the last thing I expected was a surprise auto repair! The folks here were so nice and understanding. All communications were friendly and honest. I'm a believer in the people make the business and these are really great people. They even have a shuttle to take you home if you are all alone in the world! Thank you, Potranco Automotive for getting AnnaMarie squared away! I appreciate you! read more

We trust them and they are respectful but they will sometimes suggest doing things you don't need. Prices are reasonable. They offer pick up and drop off which I've used once. No issues. If they get backed up you may have to wait a few days, but they typically set time expectations and meet them early by a day or so. They treat my wife fairly. It helps to have a mechanic in the family to ask what is really needed. He's 3 hours away so we call him to see what needs to be done versus what doesn't. Ultimately we continue to do business with them for all the reasons above. We have a 2004 Nissan truck that requires maintenance at least once a year so we've used them a lot over the past 13 years. read more

We have lived in Mico since 1998 and we found this awesome automotive service center. From the beginning we were treated respectively and like an old friend off the street. What impressed me the most was our complete estimate of what needs to be done, but not forcing us to do it all at one time. We have always been told what the most immediate needs are and then how the rest can be done in the importance of necessities. We have total confidence in not only the owner "Don" but the service of the shop. Everyone lets you know what stage you auto repair is and when they hope to have it done. I would recommend Potranco Automotive. The value is what values you consider important. I can say that the mechanical monetary value is worth it. The value in customer service is impeccable. We have seen this shop grow, that value to me shows that it is a shop worthy of the loyalty of their customers. Of course while I write this review I know the clientele will grow and sometimes it could take a bit longer to get your auto serviced. Well worth the wait. read more

Service Advisor Tony Fernandez managed our rather complicated & time-consuming repair with patience & efficiency, arranging warranty coverage, & keeping us apprised of progress while obscure parts were secured for much-needed improvements on a recent purchase. We heard their reputation was "Good," but Tony's responsiveness moves that characterization into "Excellent." This is our new Go-To car repair place. read more

This place is bad don't come here. They ripped me off. I came here to only replace the thermostat on my 2012 Honda Pilot. According to industry standard MOTOR labor guides it takes about 1 hour to replace the part. I looked it up since I work in the car industry as well so I have access to labor guide information at my fingertips. Potranco charged me $350.00 for labor. That's over three times more than the industry standard guides suggest. If you want to get ripped off come to Potranco otherwise you will find better value elsewhere. read more

I do not recommend this auto shop. I took my vehicle to have an electronic window repaired. The glass was not broken. It just fell off the arm that raises it and the motor was also working. When I called for an estimate I was advised it could cost as little as $45. However, I was also told there would be a $150 diagnostic charge to determine what was wrong with the window and if I repaired the window this charge would be credited towards the repair work. The estimated repair cost for the window ended up being $450 WITH the applied $150 credit which means they were trying to charge me $600 to fix a window! They also advised the car needed an oil change, brake inspection and new serpentine belt. I recently changed the oil and brakes. The total estimated bill was going to be over $900. Of course I did not agree to the services but in the end, I paid them $170 just to tell me my window was broken and I needed additional services. Be aware of the miscellaneous fees for rags and cleaning supplies. They charged me an additional $14 for this! Interesting to note my timing belt was rattling yet they made no mention of this... read more

Super friendly and understanding. We've had an automatic trunk lift fixed, ac unit, blown motor ( ended up not fixing). They give rides to and from home while working on a vehicle. Seem to be fair in price and fast with their work. They offer, I think it's a 3-year warranty on all their work, which I appreciate as it makes me feel they take pride in their quality of work. Will continue to use for my car needs. read more

Excellent service, friendly staff, they are busy place but they took care of us in a reasonable time and fairly priced. They explain the details of their diagnosis very well. Glad I found this place. read more

I took my car here after my car accident to get it fixed. Prior to coming there, my tire pressure light wasn't on. They did their scan and fixed everything and gave it back. I got it back and light was still on and blinking. When I called and told them that, they said i would have to pay 80$ for another scan to see what is wrong with it. This is an issue that should've been fixed the first time and it's ridiculous that I would have to pay again to fix something that should've been done in the first place. read more

I've only ever come for my state inspections so I cant speak for all services. For the inspection they are usually really quick. I think last year I was here for like 10 minutes, today about 15. The staff is friendly. read more

First time customer but will now be a long time customer. This entire staff was very professional, the shop was extremely clean for an automotive service facility, repairs were made in a timely fashion and their prices were very competitive. I highly recommend Potranco Automotive for your vehicle services needs. 5 out of 5 stars! read more

I got there at 5 PM to repair a tire that had a nail in it. The guy upfront said everybody left because 5 o'clock and it couldn't be done. The guy behind him realize that was bad for business and said, yeah, so so can do it, so check him in. I asked how long it would take and the clerk said about an hour. I said no thank you. Went across the street to polos and they did it in 15 minutes for $10. I even tipped the guy a buck. If you have any tire repair needs, just go across the street to Polo's read more

Potranco Automotive - Front - Auto Repair Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I was not happy with the attitude from the main person (male) who worked the front desk. The attitude and sarcasm comes off as rude. As if customers dont have a choice in where they go, easily can just walk out and place the money in someone elses hands. Not including this bad review I am writing. I dont care how long the business has been around or how long a person been working there, no need to be rude to a customer. Jerk off. read more

I took my car in to be check on end up costing me $1500.00 to fix but to make thing worst they didn't fix the problem they made it worst. So now I'm with out a car and out $1500.00 dollars. They are not doing anything to help and they just want to change me more money to take it in to fix what they mess up . DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THIS PLACE . Worst place to bring your car too. And they over charged in Labor cost!!!!! read more

I went in for an oil change, state inspection & they fixed whatever was wrong with my brakes. I've been having issues with my brakes for a while that nobody would fix. Ricky did an amazing job with my car. Im so thankful my car doesn't shake anymore. I will def come here again. Im 100% satisfied. Some other gentlemen helped me with my state inspection as well, I unfortunately forgot his name but remember his face. Thank you to him as well. read more

I was impressed with their knowledge and ways to fix an easy situation. Also their attention to detail is awesome. But their prices tend to be a little high especially for a oil change. And for just LOOKING at your breaks! Which they call a break inspection... you can get one feee btw at any Break Check read more

Visited Potranco Auto to have some a complete AC replacement a couple years back. The team was very helpful and unformativr and had the work done quickly. The compressor later gave out and I took it back in. Gary advocated on my behalf for replacement parts under warranty and the team there again did a great job of quickly replacing the part and keeping me informed along the way. read more

Ricky was very educational, patient, and forth coming in every aspect of the process. He kept communication and followed through with the time frames he provided on diagnosis, repair time, and release of vehicle. I understand basic mechanics, and for him to break down and have a conversation on the matter was very surprising to me. Most mechanics instead talk down, and what they say is the only solution. The company also flaunts how long they have had the same mechanics there which is fantastic. For me it said the turn over rate is low, they treat their employees right. More importantly for me as the consumer, they must know what they are doing on the services of the vehicles coming in. I will be bringing my business here the next time I need assistance! read more

I've had my Expedition in here a few times, for inspections and also a quick fix on my parking brake. I was able to walk in, explain the issue, and they took my truck back right away to evaluate it. It could have been a lucky day, but that fix was also done right away and I was on my way within an hour. My experience has been that the staff are friendly and helpful on the phone and in person. I'm comfortable going here for service and will go back if I need other work done. read more

I was very impressed with their level of customer service. The service writers at Potranco Automotive were very courteous and extremely helpful. Jaime took care of my vehicle as if it was his own. Especially here in Military City, USA, Potranco Automotive undoubtably supports veterans and those who currently serve. For any major auto repair work, I highly recommend Potranco Automotive and I will definitely be a satisfied repeat customer! read more

You will SA to avoid this place at all cost. Had work truck for over a month due to an error on their part, then had the audacity to charge me a fee for their coding subscription which had expired. Unreal, never again. read more

Deceived to have my whole dash rebuilt in a 98 Ford Expedition. I pickup all the parts and talked to Ric after not having the time to finish the job. Ric kept me informed and the job came out great. He also suggested to change out parts that I didn't think of doing. I do my own work but I have no problems letting them do the quality work they can do. If you don't have the time Ric at Potranco Automotive will take care of you and your car. Great Job. Stanley read more

First time here , now long time customer. Super customer service , very honest , wish cost wasn't what it was BUT it's worth the piece of mind. Very glad I found them. read more

Potranco Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I wish I could give these guys a 5 because they were super nice but I took my car in because it shakes when I'm coming to a stop and so they checked it and the first thing they said was that I needed new tires and rear brakes. Total for tires $1241 not including brakes. So I decided to go somewhere else to get tires and brakes. ( I don't have that kind of money just laying around) Total at other place $850. and my car is still doing the same thing. so if I had had the work done there I would have Spent well over $1241 and I'd still be having problems like I am now. they did a diagnostic check and charged me $96 to diagnose the problem and I replaced everything they said would fix the problem but it didn't. So what exactly was the $96 for? I'm a single woman with not a whole lot of money and I don't know much about cars so when I go to a mechanic I put my trust in them to get my car running good and safe and I walked away from there feeling deflated and worried that I am driving around unsafely and damaging my car even more every mile I drive. dbrown read more

I came here to get my state inspection done. I walked in without an appointment and they got me in right away! I probably waited about 10 minutes max and then everything was done and I was on my way. everyone working was very kind as well. read more

I had never been to this establishment BUT I had gotten negative feedback and I wanted to see for myself. WELL, I left angry and once in my car was in hysterical tears!! They treated me horribly. I went in for a simple inspection! I (1st time in my entire adult life) was discriminated against. I am first and foremost an AMERICAN, regardless of my skin tone. This was the negative feedback I had heard before today, I didn't want to believe it, but guess I had to "see" it with my own eyes!! NEVER WILL GIVE THEM MY PATRONAGE!! read more

Potranco automotive is great. Cant recommend enough. They are upfront and honest. Took my car in to get a repair done. During inspection, they found a part missing(a bolt)(dealers had missed this).
