Came here during an emergency and it did not meet expectations. They overcharged from what other mechanics told me the market was. Both my driver side and passenger side foot room was covered in mud when I got my car back. My glove compartment was also broke and doesn't close since getting my car back from here. They did what I paid them to do, but I would not recommend using them if you have options read more

I took my car to Moe for an inspection and he took care of me quickly and treated me like family. When he found out I didn't have a printer he printed off my insurance information and helped me register my car online. They go the extra mile here! He was able to provide more than just the inspection and gave valuable advice. This will definitely be my new mechanic!! read more

The best. Very fair on price and very fast. They walk you through the issue thoroughly without being condescending (huge for a woman going to a mechanic shop). I've been 3x now for 3 different issues and have been very happy each time. read more

One word: HONEST 2nd word: FAST That's all you need to know. They are a pleasure to deal with and instill confidence. Not a pretty place. Not a big place. But a great one. read more

I was overcharged for a mass airflow sensor by$724. I was quoted double the average for labor charges. The mechanic caused additional damage while he was performing work that he was unqualified to do and didn't have my permission to do. I received botched and deceptive service on a repetitive basis for over a month. In the end I took it to another mechanic, and it was fixed entirely in less than a day. In total I paid $3,394.31 for the saga (Mass air flow sensor for my car type is $221), I lost my car 5 full days; I had to return to that place 7 times and speak with them repetitively for weeks while they would say it's repaired only to have the engine light pop back on a day or two later; He told me he took my car to the dealership for reprogramming, but he called a friend and they performed cheap tricks on my car. He ran personal errands with my car as he left his purchases in my vehicle when I went to pick it up. He claimed it was a bag of "Tabacco for his mom". I filed a formal complaint with the BBB and The Texas Attorney General's office. He did respond to the complaint, but you'll never guess...he lied and refused to answer any of my 35 questions. He offered me a $306 refund. read more

Good work no nonsense shop. They tell you what is needed and they fix it for a fair price.

Been using them for 30 years! Very reliable and friendly. Little hard to find. Live Oak and Skillman. read more

A friend of mine had a car issue and broke down. We towed the car here and got a diagnostic test that I thought was reliable. They also went above and beyond to help find a replacement car for cheap. It didn't work out but I really appreciate the effort and compassion from the staff. read more

A couple years ago there was some issues with the water pump of some sorts in the engine of my car, it caused it to overheat and luckily found this place near my neighborhood. Every other place quoted near the $1K mark but this place was upfront about the cost, ordered the parts, and in about two hours (went down a couple blocks to grab some food while waiting) the owner called back and stated it would be $300. Such a relief to trust local auto shops! Now, almost two years later, I've moved across town and had another issue that I knew I would be willing to drive here for. Serviced our broken wipers and wanted to do it for free but paid him for being so honest and quick. If you need a place that won't try to outsmart you or overprice you please give this a chance, nothing but great things to say! read more

Excellent customer service and great communication on the diagnostic and repairs needed. Ordered parts for my brand of car [Ford] and offered a warranty on the work as well as the parts. Car was ready two days sooner than expected. Ford would have charged me 3 x what I was charged and with Ford it's never fixed the first time I usually have to go back at least twice. I would highly recommend them anyone ! read more

I have been taking my car(s) to Skillman Automotive for almost 30 years. They are always honest and reliable, and they charge a fair price. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Mo is a lifesaver! Mo took very good care of our car after it had been damaged and he was very knowledgeable of the vehicle repairs needed. He spent extra time explaining the insurance process and even helped me submit my claim. The work we received from Skillman was high quality, reasonably priced and the owners were trustworthy. read more

Stopped by for a state inspection and was greeted immediately. The owner took the time to point out a few things on my car for me, and I was out of there in no time. I was really pleased with the service and felt good about supporting a local business for something that has to be done annually. read more

I called on a Saturday morning to get an estimate for brakes. I received it immediately and they would fit me in. By 2pm my brakes were replaced and they looked over my car and gave me advice about another possible issue. The price wasn't much different than other places, but I am looking for a place I can trust and have a long relationship. I have 4 cars and I have been searching for a local family run business that is convenient for me and they spoke to me as an adult, not an idiot. I look forward to finally being able to not dread looking for a place to work on my car. read more

I can't give enough stars for this location. The manager and staff (esp. Moe) went above and beyond. My daughter took her car to the dealership and was quoted a ridiculous price for what needed to be done. I immediately went online looking for another shop for a second opinion. We are new to Dallas so we had to base our decision off of reviews. Skillman Automotive lived up to their record and then some. The completed work and more for a lot less than what the dealership quoted me saving me hundreds of dollars. Then to top it off...all work was completed within a few hours. This will definitely be where we continue to come while they are in business. I can't thank the staff enough for their great service. read more

Amazing service from this family owned shop. I had two cars repaired in two days with honest and ethical estimations. They even put new plates on our cars for free! Can't recommend them enough! read more

This place is great. The owner is the sweetest. If you need honest advice on any car issue, this is the place to come! Also, fast and friendly service for oil changes and inspections. Pros: 1. Affordable 2. Fast/Efficient 3. Friendly 4. Honest No cons. read more

Most Incredible neighborhood mechanic you will ever come across. They are always 100% honest about cost of repairs. Will always go out of their way to help any of their customers. They will Split payments on repairs if you can't afford all at once. Split payments when buying a car. As long as you hold up your end of the agreement and/or at least keep in touch with them they will always work with you. They also will never try to get people to pay for unnecessary repairs. I have always been told exactly what needs to be done. Even if other things may need to be done they will say it can wait. They treat everyone one the same. Doesn't matter who you are. What you are. My partner and I have been together for 19 years (met when we were 20). When we recently bought a 1995 Blazer from them they knew we were gay. And did not treat us any different than anyone else. In fact I believe they went above and beyond when making a deal with the Blazer. Paid the majority up front and The rest two weeks later. They also let us drive the car during the two weeks until we paid off the rest. We held up our end of the agreement even The day before we were due to make the final payment the owner called and asked if we were going to make the pay the next day. Even saying if we needed a couple days more it would be ok. They have always been honest. I recommend anyone that needs repairs done to go through them because I know they will always give you the best deal. They work fast. I even enjoy just stopping by to say hi to the crew. AMAZING Crew and Shop! read more

These guys are the real deal. Family owned and operated (Dad and two sons), they've steered me right for nearly 20 years. I drive a specialized vintage vehicle, so they don't always do particular in-depth specialty things I need, but they're totally up front about that, including giving trusted advice for my specialist. They're my absolute go-to for all the general engine and maintenance work and they reward my business with friendly, speedy, cost-effective work and do little things free of charge all the time, like checking and adding fluids when I just pop in with a concern. I highly recommend developing a relationship with this team. They'll treat you right. read more

Love this neighborhood auto repair/service shop! Always friendly, fair, fast and efficient!

Love this place! My go-to auto care place since moving here. The staff is very kind and helpful and do a great job.

Amazing service!! I showed up a little after they closed and I was still nicely greeted by a mechanic named Mo. I explained to him the problem with my car and he promptly got to work without hesitation. I had some great conversations with him too, and he fixed all the issues with my car!! I will recommend this place to everyone I know for sure!! read more

Came in because my car broke down across the street and they got it taken care of within a couple of hours! They were friendly and gave me a very fair price. read more

My clutch went out on my 2000 Dodge Dakota yesterday...about a block from the shop...I walked over to the shop, Mike and Jesse were able to pop the gear and get it to the shop...less than 24 hours later...up and running...no dealership would ever get this done....esp. for the price!! read more

The best customer service I have ever experienced. By far the best people and they are willing to help and will get the job done. They are very sweet and it makes u feel wanted there. They don't waste you're time and they make sure you leave satisfied. read more

My car broke down on me and the first thing I did I called my friend and he recommend this shop and to call Mike to send me a tow truck within 30 minutes he was here the tow truck took the car to the shop I talked to Mike which is the manger and he told what's wrong with the car he was honest and it was just out of gas he just charged me $45!!! Best mechanic shop other people lie and try to fix it so they make more money and not be honest he told to change the fuel pump in the future because I could drive it for a little more. Thank you Mike read more

Do not trust this business with your car. In July 2015 my 86 year father-in-law had his HVAC blower motor replaced, supposedly with a brand new GM motor for which he charged $548, along with $350 in labor. 11 months later the AC went out again. I did some research and checked the part that was in the car. It was obvious the part matched the original. Problem with that? The part installed when the car was built in 1999 was replaced with a new GM part in 2003. So no way could the blower motor put in by Skillman Automotive be brand new. Basically they had purchased a used motor from a pre-2003 car. You can buy those for less than $100. In terms of labor we checked around. The consensus was a labor charge between $135-180 versus the $350 charged by Skillman Automotive. So normally a job that would cost less than $300-350 versus the $900+ Skillman Auto had charged. After leaving the car with them this morning for a diagnosis, Mike called to say to say they would put in an after market motor, charging $300 for the part and no labor cost. On checking I found out that same motor could be bought at O'Reilly for $201 (less for him as a wholesaler, actually $165), and online from Rock Auto for about $107. I did not give them the go ahead to install it but when we went back to discuss all our findings, the new blower was already installed and he expected us to pay the $300, still insisting that all his original charges were justified. I asked for the blower motor that was pulled from the car and it was very obvious that it was not 1 year old, but more like 20 years old. In fact it had 96 on the sticker. After threatening small claims court and WFAA investigative reporting, we drove out of there without paying a penny. Some small success but still out about $200-300 on the huge overcharge in 2015. They saw an old man coming in with an old car and figured they would con him. Don't give these people your business. read more

Mike does outstanding work and runs an excellent shop. Whether accompanied by Johny or Al he is eager to serve and his prices are more than competitive. He always guarantees his work and will beat any price I have been able to find. Great guy and honest merchant! Two thumbs up highly recommend and trust Skillman Auto. read more
