This shop came highly recommended in the TXST Parents' FB group. My son's check engine light came on so I told him to take it there. They called me and were very detailed in what was wrong, said it had a major oil leak and what they would fix to remedy it. Total cost $1,400. My son picked up the car and the check engine light immediately came back on. We took it back. They said it was now another problem and we could pay $2000 more or try a "patch". We tried the patch. I should also state that the work has a "warranty". The main issue was an oil leak. More recently, the car starting massively leaking oil again. Practically all the oil drained out. Towed it back AGAIN. Not surprisingly, the oil leak was not covered under the warranty of the $1400 job that was just done. It was obviously still leaking and the engine light never stopped BUT it was a new problem. The fix another $2000. They do get two stars because they were personable and easy to deal with; however, they did not fix the problem(s) that they very easily cash the check for. Disappointed. We just picked up the car and it is sitting parked and undriveable because the oil just drains out.

My Volkswagen sounded like a kawasaki side-by-side. I took it to multiple places, told each place that the sound started after my brother was driving my car too fast down a dirt road, they didn't listen, told me I needed to replace the entire A/C assembly, and quoted me anywhere from $1k to $1.6k. My mom recommended these guys, they are located right next to by brother's fraternity house, and she has been doing business with them for years. They actually listened to me, had my car looked at within 24 hours, and called me to tell me it was just a little rock blocking my front fan, and it would be $146 just for the labor to take it all apart and put it back together. All of the men there, especially Mike, treated me at all times with nothing but the utmost respect and consideration. They could have easily (after knowing what the other places said it was and were quoting me) charged me $1k and pocketed the money without replacing the parts, but they didn't. Some of the reviews regarding "predatory" or advantageous behavior towards women are disappointing to say the least, what an extreme assumption and accusation. Mistakes do happen, misunderstandings happen, and cars can absolutely be tricky, because if they weren't, we wouldn't need these guys at all, we would do it on our own. Before simply jumping to conclusions, let's all start trying to be more understanding, and try to spread more kindness and positivity, just as this place has done for me at an incredibly difficult time. Thank you Lester's, and thank you Mike, you have a customer for life!

Lucas is a savior!! I got a flat tire, but thankfully ended up right next to the shop. Lucas ran across the street with his tools when he saw me and my roommate struggling. Not only did he change it ,but he also had me and my roommate come get our tires checked and filled with air. He did this all for free happily and didn’t want us to pay a thing. Thank you Lucas!!!!
