I had someone changed my brakes and rotor, in the process stripped a lug. This someone told me I need to get it taken off ASAP. A friend recommended me to take it to Xpress Automotive. When I came by Xpress Automotive, Carmon is very considerate and professional. Also, my friend brought his own parts and Carmon, put it on at a reasonable price....he also was kind enough to replace a hose at no charge. I have saved his information in my phone for any vehicle repairs in the future. As a woman, it is hard to find someone that is honest. Carmon you are much appreciated. read more

Yeah, they don't know how to speak to customers. I think it was the owner/manager who acknowledged me. But he was still not so welcoming. Not until I told him I was going write an review on Yelp did his tone change. read more

I don't know how I've not previously written a review for Carmon as I have been a thankful recipient of expertise for probably 10 years when he had his shop at the 75 and royal area.  He is beyond budget considerate with his pricing and just overall extremely honest and fair. He continuously goes above and beyond to help. I was recently on a road trip with my not yet 2 year old daughter and husband when we experienced some mechanical issues. I reached out to Carmon and he explained what was happening and helped my family get home safely. Furthermore, he then educated us on how to prevent it in the future. His knowledge is wide-ranging but more than that he is happy to educate his clients which is invaluable. Lastly, he is so kind he always puts us at ease (my husband and I have talked about we want to have dinner with him and his wife - we like him so much!) which is such a blessing if you're stressed about a car issue or budget.  Thank you Carmon!!!! read more

Super solid guys. I was buying a used car in the area and wanted to get it checked out before sealing the deal. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes and the guy walked me through everything that might be a concern in the near future and even gave me some negotiation tips. This is a little farther away from where I live, but I'll definitely be bringing my car out for servicing. It's hard to find such a great mechanic. read more

Carmon is the only person in DFW that I trust with my vehicle. Tired of places of upselling you? Go talk to Carmon. His prices are better than you'll find almost anywhere else. In 6 years, I've never had a bad experience. Shame on me for not writing a review earlier. That's my mistake. I actually found Xpress Automotive from Yelp when Carmon was at the old location near 75. Lots of 5 star reviews and I quickly figured out why. Same quality experience continues to this day at the Carrollton location. Highly recommend. I'd give 6 stars if I could. read more

I've been to this place a few times and each time owner, Carmon, was not exactly customer friendly. He's been crass, patronizing but at the same time honest and straightforward. I appreciate no nonsense attitude but not when you say to your customers "I was mean to you on the phone because what you were saying didn't make any fucking sense" is not exactly the way to run a business. Yes they did seem to have fixed the issue after topping off the brake fluid and Carmon even explained why pedal being soft had nothing to do with brake pads and rotors. However, there was no need to explicitly communicate that "you don't know shit about cars". Yes, don't know much about cars and I am absolutely sure none of them know single iota about what I do but I would not be patronizing towards anyone. I understand that working in the heat of sun may not leave you in a friendly state of mind but at the same time you chose this profession; you signed up to work in the sun. I know these people are hard-working and dedicated but providing a good customer service is also part of a good business. read more

Xpress Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I can say with 100% certainty that i am satisfied with this service and can verify this is not a paid review. My 2017 chevy trax overheated so i took it to Christian bros for a diagnostic ($180) and they confirmed i needed a new thermostat, serpentine belt, and water pump and the estimated cost for this with them would be around $2500. Not many people have that laying around to be quite honest so i shopped around and came across Carmon's shop who was thorough, concise, direct and clear with explanations. Ended up going through him for a price that was significantly less than $2500 and my car works perfect. Same day service. 10/10 find. Cant suggest these guys at Xpress Automotive enough. Cheers. read more

Overall, Mr Owner told me to purchase a brand new power steering; labor 350.... He lifted my car; the power steering was one once side, the leak was on the other side of the car. Took the car two different another mechanics and they both informed me that the power steering was fine. It was the rack and pinion( sorry wrong spelling)... So of course, we have all came across these mechanics that tell you one thing to fix and "something else comes up" which cost more $$$... Thank goodness Carmen was NASTY to me. It would have cost me almost $1,000 to fix something that cost a third. I attached Carmens Rude reply so that people Especially women do not fall into his mechanic charm while he scams you and depletes your $account $$ read more

Xpress Automotive - Saturday's pressure- he takes it out on his customers and tricks them into paying more . Mischievous!!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

"So sue me. Write a bad review. I'm going through problems and I can't deal with this right now." That was the owner Carmon's response to my follow up on their service of my car. I brought my Jeep Wrangler in for AC and electrical repair. I was quoted a price of $350 (after specifically clarifying that included labor cost). Carmon called back the next day (before work was done) to update the estimate to $550 (his employee Katie hadn't included labor costs). That seemed fair and reasonable so I went with their service. Before i left the shop with my car, I noticed that my 4wd was engaged, but he has already left the premises so I couldn't ask him about it. (Car was estimated to be done at noon and I got a call it was ready at 5:47 - they close at 6). I went back the next morning and asked Carmon to take a look at the 4wd and oil poured all over my car.... See above response (and new pics of the condition of my car) read more

See all

Saw all the awesome Yelp reviews and knew I finally found my mechanic. Fixed my daughter's car for almost half of what was quoted in Austin. They're doing mine now for a lot less than I had been quoted as well. They know what they're doing and not trying to get rich. Just giving people an excellent service at a reasonable price. Honest and upfront about everything. read more

Carmon did a great jump repairing my rear bumper. It only took a day and the price was very fair! read more

Xpress Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

See all

Service: Tire rotation, oil change and inspection of a clicking noise when turning. Review: He had the job done in about 30 minutes, educated me on the shocks and let me know they were wearing down but didn't need to be replaced just yet, great prices, and honest. I will be coming back. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I never thought I'd say that about an automotive shop but this is one where you almost want to cry with relief because they are honest, don't overcharge, don't pressure you into extra stuff, and everyone is so nice. I have never had a bad experience here and I've never felt uncomfortable when I've gone by myself. All the guys are gentlemen and it makes me want to bring them sandwiches and cookies. read more

Took my car in to get A/C fixed. Carmon replaced my compressor and recharged the Freon. I dropped off in the morning, and picked up the evening that same day. Carmon is straightforward and helps customer with any questions, very easy to talk with, compared to other repair shops. A/C has been working great since then. Great prices and great customer service! read more

I've never had a mechanic that I would claim as "my mechanic" but that all changed after my experience with Xpress Automotive. They will be getting ALL of business from here on out. Car problems make me want to cry..literally & I absolutely dread taking my car in to get look at because I already expect a quote that again..will make me cry. These guys went above and beyond for me and got my car fixed FAST and at a completely reasonable price. I didn't cry once thru this experience :) 1) they won't bullshit you 2) they will take your car when its convenient for you ( unlike dealerships) 3) they won't overcharge you 4) they aren't satisfied until you are 5) based on 1-4 why would u need to go anywhere else? Do expect to drop your car off though, it's not really a hang out and wait joint.. but they had my car back to me by the end of the same day. That's all I can ask for! the next time a car issue arises, I will be back! Thank you Xpress Automotive!! read more

I've been bringing my car here for the past 3 years for routine oil changes and tire rotations. No appointment necessary for those. I just roll up and he's always had an open bay. Always less then 30 minutes in and out. Definitely beats sitting around any dealership for 3+ hours for something simple. Great guy running the shop! He has always been friendly. I can see why other reviewers might take offense in the way he conveys information, but in my opinion, as long as the car is running and the work is solid, that really shouldn't matter. If you're the type of person that wants a place that is more, "Dallas-friendly" in terms of customer service, amenities, and fluff, then this place is probably not going to make you happy. Otherwise you'll find an honest, fair, and trustworthy experience here. Highly recommend this shop! read more

You get what you pay for .... didn't fix the whole bumper and did a half ass paint job ... when I picked up the car the entire job wasn't completed and he said that he would text me later in the week To complete the job. Also, I should have known better when I showed up at his new location and it was a lube rack and not a collision repair read more

An Okay shop with a few drawbacks. Pros: 1. Prices are fair. 2. Shop doesn't try to scam you into additional unnecessary repairs. Cons: 1. Attention to detail is lacking. I've come back home with greasy fenders after an oil change. 2. Maybe it's my luck, or maybe it's my cars, some of the things that were worked on were never truly fixed. Cars rear brakes still make noise after a complete replacement of bearings, shoes, drums, and shock dampeners. A replaced oil pan is seeping less than a year later. read more

Honest, resonable prices and fast. I've used Express for oil changes and when my air stopped blowing cold. When my Nisson stopped running, I towed it to Express. They got the car running great and did it under the expected price. I highly recommend Express Automotive. read more

I have been an Xpress Automotive customer for years. Carmon has always treated me with respect and explained the situation with me when I've had questions. I have an older truck, but whenever I have an issue, I give Carmon a call and see if they can schedule me in. He always does his best to get the truck in and out to meet my schedule. I've had a tune-up there, water pump replaced and he's looked at my transmission. Probably a few other things I can't think of at the moment. I just tell him, "Whatever it takes to keep my truck running." His passion for cars is evident and he always comes through, usually less expensive than other shops. I live near Addison and would drive down to the old Central Expressway shop, but the move to Far North Dallas is now closer for me. Those that have left negative reviews, I hope you found a good mechanic... because I have. I always reward honesty and decency with loyalty. read more

Xpress Automotive - 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 being serviced at Xpress Automotive. - Auto Repair Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

This guy Carmon - ran a shop off of Central expressway - he took my daughter to the cleaners. Not only charged her 700% more for parts than market value, but didn't even do the repairs he listed. Instead of fixing a heater core issue he loaded the car down with sealant and ruined the radiator and caused $k of dollars of damage. After 5 subsequent repairs and having all the parts and proof to sue him...we filed a small claims action against him about the time he ran from Dallas to Carrolton (btw the guy doesn't even have a home).....and during this time he filed for bankruptcy. He takes advantage of women, he's a cheat, he's a liar...and he should be taken out of business asap. Instead of fulfilling his obligations he runs and hides under bankruptcy. He's incompetent. He owes us nearly $7,000 dollars from the damage he did to her car. read more

I requested a quote for an oil change through Yelp, and the owner responded within minutes. I liked the quote so I showed up about an hour later for my oil change. I was greeted by the owner, and he was extremely friendly. He let me know of my different options, but I did not feel pressured at all. With no appointment, I was in and out in about 25 minutes. Quick service, fair prices, and a low pressure interaction are what I am always looking for when it comes to car maintenance. This place checked all the boxes, so I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Xpress Automotive - Inside of shop. - Auto Repair Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I officially love these guys. So my registration/inspection expires this month. Like anybody, I put it off until the middle of the month and then panicked when I realized I hadn't renewed yet. I sent in the registration renewal check, and only THEN realized that under the new rules, you have to get your state inspection done BEFORE they will renew your registration. Cue second panic. So I did some Yelp digging for a mechanic close to my office with good reviews, and found Xpress Automotive. I called Carmon and asked if, were I to come by on my lunch break (which is only half an hour), would he be able to get it done? He answered unequivocally yes. When I brought my car in, he knew exactly who I was. He was super friendly and SUPER speedy. He got it done in 10 minutes (possibly less, I wasn't timing exactly, it was just really fast). I think I was really throwing off some stressed vibes about getting back to the office on time because he apologized for not doing it faster, but seriously, you'd have to be super human to get that inspection done any faster. And better yet, the whole thing only cost me $20. So, to sum up--take your car to Xpress Automotive. It's fast, it's friendly, and it's crazy affordable. They'll definitely be my #1 mechanic from now on. read more

Very nice people, also very honest, which was greatly appreciated. They told me what I needed to have done and what I didn't need to have done. Then they charged a very fair and reasonable price. Honest mechanics are hard to find, when you find one, you should do two things. 1. Be a customer for life. 2. Tell your friends. Thank you Carmon and Kate. Appreciate you both. read more

Very accommodating. Able to discuss issues and possibility of different options. Checking your car problem is FREE!!!!! I feel so great full with them. Highly recommend and the most important thing is they are FAST. Get you in and out. Impressive!!! read more

5 stars across. Thank you to the owner Cameron for being a man of his word. Honest work with a fair price and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need. Had my head gasket repaired. Radiator and all hoses flushed. I was able to leave a deposit and pay the rest when I picked up the vehicle. He guaranteed me if anything went wrong he would fix it no extra charge. And he did. I had it taken back multiple times for minor overheating issues. Each time he repaired the issue and never asked for another dollar. I would recommend the place to anybody. read more

I love the owner. I've only been twice for an oil change and brakes. I'm almost never off when he is open, 12hr shifts sometimes suck. Lol. He is honest and refers you to someone else he if he does not have the particular service you need. read more

Recently check-in engine light popped up on my 2012 Sonata, I came to this service and instead of charging me as much as possible (as I believe most services will do), they suggested me to change fuel tank cap, because that might be a thing that causes a problem. After I did it light has gone, and they never charged me, even though they spent some time to figure out what is the problem. Yesterday I came to them again, because my engine doesn't start. They figured out that it's a starter. In 4 hours problem was solved. From my previous experience at other services I can say that they charge you reasonable fees, and they don't want you to spend extra money. Reliable guys, great service. Definitely recommended. read more

On March 18, 2019 I went to drop my car off but unfortunately they were closed and appears to be out of business. I was really disappointed they did really good work. CORRECTION: I was contacted by the owner and he advised that his shop is not closed but has moved to: 3480 E. Rosemeade pkwy Carrollton Tx 75007 read more

W. O. W. The owner is awesome! This shop has the best overall customer service and price! I went in for a $20 oil change (they also have $20 inspections and select tires). All of my fluids were topped off, and my engine was detailed...FREE OF CHARGE! Not to mention my tires being checked and aired as needed...HANDS DOWN the best experience I've had in a shop like this in YEARS! I'll be coming here from now on... read more

Best automotive repair experience ever. Good price no BS. Just plane good service Adding ***** more stars read more

It sure is nice that they are open on weekends. Carmon is the shop owner. He's a good mechanic and a real decent soul. They work fast too! There wasn't a wait when I got there. So I was in and out in about 30 mins. Got my tires mounted and balanced for a great price. Thank God bc it's been on that raggedy donut the past two weeks, I know, terrible! While I was there I decided to go ahead and do my car inspection for $20. My license plate bulb was out. I thought for sure he wasn't going to pass me and I'd have to come back, but he did me a real solid and changed in out in a matter of seconds and I was squared away. When it was time to pay he said not to worry about paying for the light. I told him I was happy to pay, but he said I had spent some money with him already and to go back and see him for my next oil change and/or other maintenance. Well, Carmon, I have synthetic, so I'll see you in about 4k miles. Until then, I'll keep referring everyone in my circle of influence to you. I appreciate your hard work and kindness. Bless you and your business! read more

My experience with Carmon was disappointing to say the least. I have a BMW 325i-2008. On Friday my car temperature gauge showed overheating. I did not know what was causing the problem. I phoned Carmon and was advised to bring the car in. I told him due to indications of overheating, I would have it brought in by tow truck. We spoke via phone, Friday after the cars arrival to his shop. I was advised by Carmon, he allowed my car to run 3 hours and no indication of overheating. I responded with "did you drive it". On Saturday morning, he called me and informed me my car was indeed overheating,, and the problems were "thermostat and spark plugs. He called me Saturday evening, and informed me my car was ready, I asked him the cost and was advised $479.99. I arrived to the shop by Lyft, and we laughed a joke about me wanting the car to just make it through the summer. He said, I think it will. I got into my car, and less then 5 minutes drive time, less then a mile away my car was overheating again, (hence the problem was not fixed, hence you did not test the car before you had customer come in pay and pick up the car). I immediately pulled over, called Carmon and he advised to bring the car right back. I told him I could not since it says, OVERHEATING DO NOT DRIVE. He stated, that he will be leaving the shop soon to get home early, but it would be someone there to receive car. After 2 hours of sitting idle at road side, the car was returned to shop and keys placed in drop area provided. Carmon called me on Monday, and advised me that there was nothing he could do for my car. I may need head gaskets or something. " THE CAR WAS SHOT! I was very confused with that statement, because I thought you "Carmon" repaired it. He said "I DID". I said no you did not ! he immediately stated I was NOT getting my monies back, he because he repaired my car.- The so called repair, is not the problem. My car was not repairable when I brought it in. A GREAT mechanic would have 1-identified the problem (diagnostically) 2-performed the necessary test 3-drove the car prior to having customer pick up car (when you stated it was fixed and it wasn't) 4- honestly tell the customer the facts, good, bad or ugly truth 5- Returned the monies because you did not deliver on the NOTION car was repaired. The car was not in my possession 5 minutes before it was overheating. Does this sound like someone I would do business. read more

I've only lived nearby the place for a year, but I've already gone there several times for various car-related reasons. A couple of times they either helped me with a small problem or gave me advice on something I could think about and I went away without spending a dime. Two words: FREE DIAGNOSIS. That's huge. They're also open 7 days a week!!! I know I can trust them to fix the problem I need help with and will efficiently get the job done while charging me an honest price. They're also happy to show me exactly what the diagnosis reads on their device and show me what my car needs but they are never too pushy. I feel confident as a girl in her 20s showing up and knowing they wouldn't pull anything over on me. One of the downsides is that the waiting area is a little subpar (but what quality service car garages don't have that trouble?), and when I show up sometimes it's awkward to know where to initially put my car (but again, I have that trouble everywhere). Overall I try to get my car related needs taken care of here and it's usually worth it. - - - - - - Months later, my husband feels like I need to add that HE isn't crazy about the place. He says it's unorganized, it smells like weed, and the people don't always seem the most professional. I realized it's actually true. Getting noticed and communicating with people there can also be difficult. The structure of things might be hard to change overnight, but I think the weed smell is a reasonable fix. read more

I have used them a few times on Lexus, Jeep and Ford vehicles. These guys are the best.. fair pricing, great communication... they do an outstanding job! I cannot recommend them enough! read more

This is a great garage. I needed an oil change on Sunday and this garage is one of the few that are open on Sunday's. When I arrived the mechanic was friendly, but working by himself so he asked if I wouldn't mind waiting. I ended up leaving my car there which he appreciated. He finished pretty quickly and let me know everything looked good. Simply put, these guys are honest, quick, and affordable. I highly recommend! read more

The owner is extremely honest and helpful. This place is fast too. Honest work at honest prices, and great customer service.

I went to get my state inspection. Service was very quick! They were friendly. I would recommend this place.

I'm always a little skeptical of Yelp reviews, but Xpress Automotive was truly worth the high rating that they have! Carmon and the team were very kind, timely in their inspection and completion of repairs, and they did a good job explaining what was going on with my car. They've earned my business for any other car repair/inspections I need! read more

SO GRATEFUL I FOUND THIS PLACE! The shop was fast, courteous, and by far the lowest prices I've found in DFW. I had both brakes (front and back), transmission fluid, and front and rear differential fluid changed all for the same price as the last time I had someone just change the brakes. Plus, I got a lifetime warranty on the brakes. Ridiculous. If you're looking for a spotless showroom with lots of amenities while you wait...look somewhere else. BUT, if you're looking for someone who will get you in and out fast, NOT try to sell you all kinds of unnecessary services, and will post their prices up front, then this is your place. Truly, I don't think I will be going anywhere else in the future. read more
