Texas Auto Service Center

Mike is, hands down, the best auto mechanic I’ve ever used. You can always count on some interesting conversation with Mike but more importantly, you can rest assured that the problem will be diagnosed accurately and fixed appropriately. He has always exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone. I took my «new» 2007 HHR for a shimmy in the brakes and a knocking in the front end. Front end was just some bushings, which were a little cheaper than quoted… hooray. What really blew me away was the brake job. Mike uses a special brake resurfacing machine that turns the rotors on the car. This makes for a truer turning that is custom done just for your car. Apparently, the dealer had put on new brake pads before I bought the car, so Mike was able to spare me that expense too. Now my brakes are soooo smooth, it’s unbelievable. I feel much safer in my car and plan to have the wife’s SUV done soon. Don’t hesitate to give Mike a chance to earn your business. He’s a straight shooter and skilled mechanic. Highly recommend.

About a month ago, my VUE was driving very loud and rough. Almost like it didn’t have an oil in it. After a «drive-​by» diagnostic at a Kwik Kar, I was told that it was probably the bearings on the alternator going bad. Considering this is my fourth Saturn and the original alternator (7years old), and on the previous three I had been replacing alternators every 2 – 3 years… I took this diagnostic with a few grains of salt.
A co-​worker referred me to Mike at Texas Auto Service Center. I have a great mechanic out in Southlake, but since I live and work in Plano… Southlake pretty much requires a day off of work and a suitcase.
I got my car to Mike about 1030am and he called about 450 and said that it wasn’t in fact the alternator, but the accessory belt assembly that was loose. He said he would have the car ready by 7pm and to just head that way whenever I had a ride. I got there about 620 and it was ready.
When I got in the car and turned it on, it was so quiet it literally felt like I was driving a brand new car, well, one with stains on the carpet :-) If I get in a bind and can’t spend the time to drive out to Southlake, I will definitely bring my car back to Texas Auto Service Center.
