CLOSED NOW - Closed

HONEST! My favorite mechanic! My car started making such an awful noise that I clicked on the hazard lights and debated pulling over & calling a tow truck. After calling Alex & describing the noise, he said it was safe to drive it to him. Same day he drove it, checked it out & fixed something lose in the wheel well that was rubbing against my tire, free of charge! This is the second time he saves me like that Super honest & hard working. He wouldn’t charge me, so I tipped him!

I called on a Saturday about an hour before closing to make an appointment for my car’s AC as the fan had died. Alex told me to bring it In the spot. I did and he told me all that was wrong with my AC’s fan was a lose screw! He could have told me anything, & tried to charge me anything without me knowing any better. Instead, he tightened the screw and charged me NOTHING for his trouble. I wanted to give him some business so I asked him to check the Freon level and did end up adding some for what seemed like a very reasonable price.

I found Alex after moving here from Florida 5 years ago. My air went out in my car. and I had it checked at a local drive thru oil change and repair shop, and they told me I needed a new compressor and the cost was going to be over $1500. My sister-in-law had used Alex for something minor, and told be to just go there and get a second opinion. Much to my surprise, it turned out to be a .50 fuse, and he charged me nothing!! He could have told me anything, I wouldn't have known any better. We have never used anyone since that day. We've recommended him to many people, and the outcome is always great. Our entire family uses him for every auto repair, and regular maintenance work.

We've been taking our two cars to Alex for at least the past 3 years. His work is professional and fast, and the prices are extremely affordable.



He has also done a couple of inspections on our vehicles prior to us taking long distance driving vacations (Chicago/Canada/Mexico).



I recommend him to others . . .and they've had success as well.

I bought a car from him back in April and be seemed like a guy you could trust but not even two months later it started having problems. When i bought the vehicle he gave me his WORD as a mechanic that he checked it out and it was good to go. Truth is he just "beaner rigged" the whole car. There are screws missing, old spark plugs, the timing belts shredded, some hoses had leaks, nothing on this car was fixed properly. The only thing he did right was replace the engine. The only reason he's so cheap is because he is cheap and zip ties, tapes, and screws everything together. I love my car but he messed he up big time. This is my first car and luckily i didn't break down somewhere i couldn't get out of. I don't think he's trustworthy at all after selling me this car and not telling me it had all of these problems that he gave his word on. I fear even taking her back to him for repairs. Don't go to him unless you want your babe "beaner rigged"

The owner, Alex, is a rare find. A master mechanic who is also extremely honest. Another repair shop was telling me that I needed a complete brake job and I needed to have my transmission fluid replaced. Knowing they lied about the transmission fluid because I had it replaced 5 months earlier, I decided to get a second opinion on the brake job. That is when I met Alex. He put my car on the rack and showed me the brakes and the rotors. He said I would eventually need the brake job, but not yet. That was over one year ago. I will have him do the work before summer. A man I know went to see Alex one summer when his A/C went out. He was expecting a large repair bill. Alex checked it out and told him it was just a loose bolt that kept the belt from turning the compressor. He fixed at no charge. The customer is now loyal to Alex and only takes his vehicles to Alex for repair. All this, plus his prices are very fair.

I took my car to alex after first having it looked at by a auto shop in the woodlands. The first auto shop told me a needed repairs that would cost me over $900. After i got a second opinion from alex and he told me my repair job would cost $290 and he told me what the real problem was with my car unlike the first repair shop. Alex is a hardworker ,very reliable , and honest. You can trust him with all your repair work.I recommend him to anyone who needs car repair work..

I have always seen the shop while driving down FM2978. Although I have not needed a mechanic until now, I had kept this place in mind. It seemed as though he had a lot of cars, but no fancy building to eat away the profits. So, today I had decided to take my sick truck over and on the way, about 1 mile from the shop, we broke down and had to leave my truck in the Target parking lot. By the time I had my friend drive me over it was already closing time. Without knowing me from Adam, he gave me a battery bypass charging unit so I could get my truck started and get it over to him. He shuffled some cars around and opened the shop to accomodate me. I wrote my name and number down on a notepad and felt very comfortable with the atmosphere. My truck is now residing there until he can have a real look at it, but for now I am extremely impressed!

Alex (owner/mechanic) is honest and do quality work. I live in Houston however I don't mind driving to Magnolia, TX to get my car fix. Alex is a one-man team, no secretary and no fancy office therefore - no overhead, his hourly rate or labor charges is industry standard.

I live down the road from the owner/mechanic, Alex, so I decided to give it a try. He has the best prices and does the best work compared to anyone else in a 50 mile radius. If anyone needs some good work done on a vehicle, at an affordable rate, go to Woolands Auto Repair. He is honest, and always has the job done when he says he will. James
