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!

Best mechanic in Houston hands down! Would recommend 100 times over!
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.
Very nice and clean environment and professional workers. Grade A service!
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 workering individuals in Karen, Darryl, and Don.
Dozer their dog is a treat as well!
He can fix anything from a scooter to a truck. The owner is a honest and educated man and will be blunt with you to tell you preciously what your vehicle needs. Great shop! Recommend 100%!
Went here for a brake light repair. Great and fast service. Nice and friendly people, definitely recommended. Thanks again!
This place is great, they really know what they’re doing and they don’t beat around the bush. They tell you exactly what the problem is and they get it done. Highly recommend them and I will continue to bring my vehicle here.
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!
“…when my vehicle is having issues beyond my abilities this is where I choose to take my vehicles. Previously Darryl and his team have saved me time and money from fixing the wrong issues when other so-called experts in the auto repair field have incorrectly diagnosed the issue. For that, I will always be a customer and highly recommend them for friends and family.”
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.
High Integrity. Been a customer since 2009. Their work is quality.
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.
