Sal's Auto Repair

"I had just moved to Houston from Minnesota and did not know a good mechanic. I got my oil changed at Midas who coughed up over $1,000 in additional charges that they said I needed taken care of. I didn't have the money and I had a bad feeling about it. So I left. On recommendations from people on the Nextdoor app, several people recommended Sal's. Sal answers the phone 90% of the time and he has a big operation. I brought the bill from Midas and he checked everything and came back to tell me all the things they had noted were fine and did not need to be fixed!! He said dealerships now are giving people estimates of 5 to 10,000 for repairs and they come to his shop and nothing needs to be fixed! My bill was a couple hundred dollars because I did have something in my emissions that needed to be fixed so I could pass the admission test to get my license in TX. I will always be loyal to him! His shop is nestled behind the gas station on the corner of Chimney Rock and Westheimer. You need to drive behind the gas station. It's not the shop on the left hand side. It is first come first serve so you cannot make an appointment but I've never had an issue with same day service with him. A bonus is they are open on Saturdays!"

"Today was my first time bringing my car to Sal. A client referred me and being a woman was lies to at the dealership trying to sell me I knew I didn’t need. Sal confirmed my thoughts and was so honest he told me to come back in 2,000 miles to get an oil change because he said I wasn’t due.and didn’t need it. The dealership told me I needed it every 6 months and I am a very low mileage driver. He told me synthetic oil doesn’t break down like the other oil. I value his honesty and questioned what I really needed. He checked out my entire car and said it was in perfect condition in spite of the age of the car because it was such low mileage. I will definitely be back because I can trust he will tell me the truth."

"Extremely honest, upfront, and does not hide anything. Sal's Auto Repair is one of the best, if not the best mechanic in town! He has been my personal mechanic for 10-15 years. His only goal is to make sure the cars he and his team work on are done correctly and are safe to drive."

"We own 4 vehicles, some older, some newer (2023 Sierra, Yukon, 2002 suburban, 2019 Toyota 4Runner) Sal does all the service, all the repairs. He is honest to a fault, won’t take your money on something if it’s not worth fixing (I’ve tried and he won’t). That’s hard to come by these days. They do incredible work, timely. I’ve NEVER had an issue with a single repair. Rear ends, shocks, fuel tank swaps, diagnostic work, etc. All been flawless. Id recommend Sals to anyone looking for a new trustworthy mechanic. Thanks again Sal & Steve! See y’all in a few weeks!"

"Our battery died and the person that gave us a jump suggested Sal's. Even though it was closing time he said they would help us out. I am so grateful for Sal and his team! They were friendly and got us running again very quickly."
