Customer Reviews: We Love Our Customers (And Their Cars), And They Love Us.
We are dedicated to honest and reliable service. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what people are saying about Northwest Auto Center of Houston!
I’ve been to Northwest for battery, brakes and more. Always solved quickly and for a fair price. Darryl is very knowledgable and great at explaining what they did, preventative measures, etc. I don’t take my car anywhere else if I can help it!
I can’t say enough good things about Northwest Auto Center! Darryl and his team are amazing — super honest, kind, and genuinely care about their customers. It’s rare to find a mechanic you can trust, and I’m so glad I found on in Darryl. I’ll definitely be going to him for all my future car needs!
I recently has my truck diagnoses at NW Auto Center for an unknown loss of power. Darryl went above and beyond to inspect the issue and find the resolution to my problem. My truck was in and out within a day and a half. I 10/10 recommend this auto center for any car services.
Everyone here is very nice, and they were able to diagnose and fix my problem quickly. Instead of some places that would have taken what I thought was the problem and ran with it, Darryl instead took the time to diagnose the actual problem, which was much cheaper. Afterward, they even put the recommended other problems found without pressuring me to get them fixed immediately. By far the best mechanic shop I’ve been to here, and will be bringing my car back in the future. 6 stars! Also, Blaze is the best doggo and deserves all the pets and treats.
Great mechanic, very honest and great customer services and very reasonable prices.
Completely honest people, and probably the best auto repair shop I’ve ever been to. The staff is awesome, tons of experience and they do quality work. There’s nothing more you’d ever be able to hope for. I’d recommend all to come!
I started coming here when I noticed they were working on the same car as mine and years later they’re still my go to for anything. What says a lot about their business is their friendliness and honesty toward the work that needs to be done and memory parts they previously installed and noticeable changes from other parts I had changed which shows their precise attention to detail. They’re quick, efficient, honest and have always gone out of their way for me and I would highly recommend them for any service you may need.
Darryl and Karen are phenomenal! I have taken my vehicle other places but they are no match for all their competitors. They tell you like it is with no ambiguity. Their team is honest and take care of your vehicle as if it was their own. so had to give them a try. The prices are fair for the amount of above and beyond labor they put into the job.
I am very selective and particular about where I take my vehicle, even for an oil change. The reviews for this business are stellar so had to give them a try. First time here and it was like visiting old friends. The warm welcome from Blaze, the detailed explanations from Darryl, the conversations with Karen. Y’all, if you’re looking for a great mechanic, bring your business here!
Excellent services, wonderful staff, and reasonable prices. I had been having an issue for several years with a camshaft sensor. After trying a few different mechanics who could never get it taken care of, I brought it here. Darryl was extremely thorough and detailed, keeping me posted every step of the way. He told me exactly what it would cost and what was involved. They did awesome work and thanfully the problem is finally fixed. I should have brought it here years ago.
New to Houston and was looking to have some work done to my car. I went to Autozone and they told me my battery was good that I needed an alternator. So I Google and found this company spoke with Darryl he said bring it on in. I dropped it off and told him to call me after the inspection. He did just that and he was a good honest man it wasn’t the alternator it was the battery. He called me once he had everything fixed and checked out and I picked my ride up. Everything has been good ever since. I would recommend Northwest Auto Center to everyone who looking for a mechanic that cares and love what he do.
I definitely recommend this place for all mechanic repairs. I’ve personally had two vehicles worked on and by far one of the best shops I’ve ever dealt with. The front desk staff, Karen, is amazing and communicated well. She’s delightful and a joy. Darryl was very professional by communicating every nut/bolt that will be worked on and always asked for approval. Things like the above mentioned make me as a customer feel very confident to continue to do business with this location. Nice, trustworthy, and hard working individuals in Karen, Darryl, and Don.
Dozer their dog is a treat as well!
My car was shaking and having other issues I couldn’t quite get fixed. Being that I just moved from Florida, I couldn’t find anyone I trust as a women to fix my car without cheating me out of my money. Until I moved back to Houston, and I came to see Darryl! He has been fixing cars in my family for years even when dealerships couldn’t. I highly recommend this shop to anyone with car problems! HIGHLY!
Karen, Darryl, and Don were amazing! I can’t thank them enough for helping to get my baby back on the road. Darryl was honest and fair in his assessments and I couldn’t be more grateful for his and Don’s help. Karen is such a wonderful presence on the phone and in the office. Thank you all so much and I’m referring everyone I can.
I have been a customer at Northwest Auto for more than 25 years. I give them my highest recommendation. Darryl and his team have done everything from routine maintenance such as oil changes, battery replacement, and brake jobs, to Manufacturer’s required 30, 60, and 90 thousand mile services. They have also have done repair/replace services on air conditioners, C V joints, and radiators, and evaluated transmission issues. I now live many males farther from Northwest Auto than when I first began trading there, but I travel the extra distance to get the reliable service I have always experienced.
