Brought in my 2022 Chevy Silverado to do some tramission work. John and the rest of the team were very welcoming. The team provided me a diagnostic in a timely manner and kept an open line of communication with me throughout the entire process. This shop clearly operates with transparency and honesty which I greatly appreciated. I recommend this place everyone in west Houston and all surrounding areas. Thanks again John and team for the exceptional work.
Eloy, thank you for giving John and the team the opportunity to work on your Silverado! We know transmission repairs can be stressful, so keeping you informed and making sure you understand what we're finding is just as important to us as the repair itself. I'll be sure to pass your kind words along to John and the rest of the crew. It means a lot that you'd recommend us to your neighbors throughout West Houston. We appreciate you!
My truck was not working after the installation of a new battery and he towed it to his shop from my house and he told me there was nothing wrong with my truck. So I just paid for the towing fee. They are very honest with their business.
Andrew, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad we could help get your truck to the shop and give you an honest assessment. Sometimes the best service we can provide is telling a customer when nothing needs to be repaired. We'd never want you spending money on work your vehicle doesn't need. Thank you for recognizing that, and for giving our team the opportunity to help!
I was referred to your shop by a friend who had her car repaired at your shop. She was impressed with the expert workmanship and fair prices. I found this to be true also along with a personable and professional staff. Thank you for your service. We will continue to service our car with your shop as needed and refer friends and family to you.
Sondra, it's wonderful to hear that your friend sent you our way and that we were able to live up to her recommendation! Word of mouth means so much to a family-owned business like ours. We're grateful you noticed the care our team puts into both the work on your vehicle and the experience you have with us. Thank you for choosing West End, and especially for being willing to send your own friends and family our way. That kind of trust means everything to us!
Amazing experience . The minute I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome: they went over my diagnostic for my vehicle without pressure and I was able to get accommodated on same day service. Oh and they have amazing snacks ! Come get your vehicle serviced . I’m definitely coming back!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We loved having you in, and it means a lot to hear that you felt welcomed and comfortable from the moment you walked through the door. We're glad we could walk you through your vehicle's diagnostic findings, get you taken care of the same day, and make the visit a little sweeter with some snacks! We'll be happy to see you again whenever you need us.

This time I went in to get my suspension worked on, it took 2-3 days for parts & labor.. They did a great job last time with A/C & other issues!!!.. I had left rent money over 2k in cash. I was shocked the cash was still there... God bless, these guys.
