Good Service

by LawyerWing at Citysearch

Ron was recommended to me by a friend who drives a Volvo, so I was a little worried that his prices my be too much for my 10 year old Saturn. I thought I was facing a new transmission which would cost more than my car was worth. Ron and his staff managed to change out some gasket thingy, and they put some sort of goo on the outside to stop the leak. He even had me bring it back in the next day at no charge to make sure the plugs were holding. I will be taking my car to Ron for all future service.

• Pros: Convenience, Customer Service, Honesty
• Cons: None that I can think of.

Fairly priced & Honest - what more can you ask for?

by kdotngo at Citysearch

I have an accord that has 117 miles on it and hasn't had the timing belt replaced, so I was basically driving on borrowed time. I called several shops including the dealership which I knew would be my highest price quote (but they had a 15% off coupon) and found some other places that quoted me around $100 less, but didn't include replacing the water pump or any of the other belts. When I called Ron - he asked me for the range of what everyone else quoted and he met me in the middle and included the same services that the dealership would have performed.

I dropped it off at 7:30 (Michael @ Ron's drove me to work) and I picked it up the next day, which is understandable because they do have a small shop and timing belts are a pain. Very pleased and I will use him again.

With ANY mechanic, plumber, painter, or anyone that you have to hire to do something you can't, - you have to do your research!!! I'm a girl and I know that...c'mon.. :)

• Pros: Ron actually works there, reasonable, shuttle, small shop,
• Cons: small shop - so might take longer if a big job

Best service in Houston!

I've brought my car to Ron's five or six times now and each time it's been seen promptly and usually fixed the same day. The prices have always been very reasonable and Ron is always very concerned with customer satisfaction and treats people sincerely.

Highly recommended!!

• Pros: Fast and friendly service, reasonable rates
• Cons: none
