Fast forward to today. My husband ran over something large and hard at 70 mph. Hit was so hard it popped the needle off of the speedometer in the dash. Managed to get it into see Joshua. Wasn't good news but he gave me 2 options. First was the minimum that needed to be done. Second was an additional item that really should be done. All said and done, more than I wanted to spend but I still feel he was very fair in his pricing. Been driving the van for a few days now and am very happy with the results. Plus, I have the peace of mind knowing I won't be chewing up my tires every few thousand miles. Just as a side note. I did research Cortez Car Care and discovered something amazing. They have been members of the BBB for 23 yrs this year and have not had one single complaint lodged against them in all that time. In any auto related field, especially repair/maintenance, that is a record to be very proud of. Just tells me that they are doing things right and have customer satisfaction very high on their priority list.

After relocating from California to Texas, we began noticing a severe vibration coming from the…read morefront of our commuter car. The vibration was present at all speeds but became much worse as our speed increased. Since traffic here routinely moves at 80+ mph, the issue quickly became impossible to ignore. We were concerned that the wheel bearings or other major suspension components were failing. Over the past several weeks, we took the car to multiple repair shops and received recommendations to replace everything from all four shocks and struts to wheel bearings, brake rotors, and other suspension components. Before committing to thousands of dollars in repairs, we decided to make one last attempt to properly diagnose the problem and brought the car to Mike Smith Auto & Tire. After speaking with Justin, we immediately felt like we were being heard. He took the time to listen to every concern we had, and one of his technicians even drove the car at highway speeds to experience the vibration firsthand--something no other shop was willing to do because of "insurance reasons," despite being located just minutes from the highway. When the technician returned, Justin invited us into the shop and walked us through the diagnostic process. With the car on the lift, we spun all four wheels and quickly discovered the real culprit: all four tires were severely out of round. They had developed high and low spots, causing the vibration we had been chasing all along. It was surprising that no previous shop had taken the time to inspect the tires before recommending extensive suspension repairs. Justin and his crew were straightforward, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, honest. They never tried to upsell us on unnecessary repairs and only recommended what was actually needed. While we didn't purchase new tires that day because these still have several thousand miles of tread life remaining, there's no question where we'll be buying our next set when the time comes. Thank you, Justin and everyone at Mike Smith Auto & Tire, for your professionalism, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. It's refreshing to find a shop that truly puts its customers first. We need more businesses like yours.

I told desk girl it shoudlnt take 45 min to measure tread depth and it hurt her feelings. She quit talking when said give me my keys, real tire pro. As i was leaving and tech was removing wrong wheel and had wrong work ticket attached to my vehicle, he thought I was getting 4 new tires. They couldn't give me tires at this point.

I have used Sam and City Spring & Brake for years, never had an issue until the last year or so…read more The first issue was on my dually work truck where a rim was damaged and bump stops were removed when have springs rebuilt, I took care of those issues as I did not have time to bring the vehicle back. The last visit was much more disappointing, I had the entire front end replaced on another work truck, after about a thousand miles I crawled underneath to inspect and found that the brakes I paid to have replaced were not replaced and that the boots that keep grease in and dirt out of the new ball joints and tie rod ends were cut during installation. I brought the truck back to Sam for warranty work, he became very aggressive and refused to honor his warranty. The guy is an absolute scumbag that does subpar work and refuses to stand behind it.

More than a decade ago, I brought my 2005 Ram 1500 to Modica Bros. after my A/C stopped cooling at…read moreidle. I would get cool air while driving but nothing but hot air when stopped. After a "thorough" inspection, I was told the entire A/C system needed to be replaced. The technician even joked that at least I wouldn't have to pay since it was a company truck, pointing at the magnets on the door. When I explained it was my personal vehicle, he "took another look" and suddenly said I only needed a new condenser and recharge at about half the price. That didn't sit right with me, so I paid the diagnostic fee and left. After talking with my wife, she told me about Bill's Garage in Port Neches, a shop highly recommended by her co-workers. I brought my truck there and spoke with Ricky. Even though they were extremely busy and couldn't get me in for a couple of weeks, he took a few minutes to look at it in the parking lot. He had me start the truck and turn on the A/C. When nothing happened, he reached in, tapped the fan a few times, and immediately the truck started blowing cold air. He explained there was nothing wrong with the condenser. The real issue was the radiator cooling fan or fan clutch not providing airflow at idle. He told me he could fix it for around $250, but also suggested I could buy the part myself for about $100 and replace it on my own. I did exactly that, and it fixed the problem completely. Fast forward to last August, I purchased a 2022 Chevy 2500 HD with about 45,000 miles from a Chevy dealership. Recently, I brought it back to the dealer for what I believed was a radiator leak. I was told it wasn't covered and was quoted $1,800 for a new radiator, along with a diagnostic fee. Once again, I took it to Bill's Garage. They pressure-tested the system and found the radiator was fine. The actual problem was a leaking A/C condenser, a far less expensive repair they could handle quickly. Over the years, I've trusted Bill's Garage with my vehicles, my wife's, and my kids'. They have consistently proven to be honest, fair, and highly skilled. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else.
