I just moved to Houston and noticed my car was making a noise. I saw the great review of Mikey's on City Search and decided that was where I would go to get the repair. I wasn't disappointed! It turned out the noise was a minor fix and Mikey's didn't try to con me into unnecessary repairs. Oh! And, they even gave me a ride home so I didn't have to wait at the shop. I really appreciated the honesty and I will definitely be a repeat customer. I never knew Mikey before today, but I truly had a good experience.

Most Honest People in Car Repair

by Schmedda at Citysearch

I went in to Midtown Auto Service because my a/c is not working. The staff was the most friendly and professional I've ever met in an auto service place. They ran a diagnostic on my car and unfortunately found out they could not get all of the information for the model of my vehicle. They were pretty sure they knew what was wrong but could not give me a diagnostic report. Instead of trying to sell me on the fix, they did not charge me for the diagnostic and recommended I go some place else to verify what they suggested was wrong. The owner said he does not want to gamble with my money. I was truly impressed by their honesty and professionalism. I would go back.

• Pros: Honest

Flooded Honda

by graceeann at Citysearch

What can i say that the other reviews hasn't already said. Mikey is very competent and helpful. He assured me that my old bess would be fine and driveable afterwards and he was right. In fact, it's driving better now than before. I found Mikey through the Channel 2 link and saw at least four or five tv interview clips on his business. I knew at that time, this is the guy to come too. He sounded very sharp and spoke very eloquently on tv. I received from him a great service and a reasonable price.

• Pros: competent & helpful

They really know how to repair the tough problems

by Honyota at Citysearch

My bussiness has about 5%-10% income from auto repair works. We basically sell auto parts. Our mechanics are not certified, but they do lot's of repair and do better than an average mechanic. Well, I had a Infinity couldn't find why the engine stops while driving. Asked mechanic near by, but could not help. I found Mikey at Midtown assured me they are really good on finding the tough problems. The facitily is about thirty mintues away, but it was worth it. Mikey was absoloutey the best auto mechanic I have ever seen. You could see the ASE L-1 Master technian work on the monitor conveniently in the waiting area. After I took my car to Midtown, he explained to me in detail and Mikey's suggestion cured the problem. The car is a friend of mine and her car still drives great after a year. I usually do not get impressed from an auto mechanic facility, but this place really knows how to repair cars. Mikey has told me that there was NOT a problem with a car that he couln't figure out so far, his been doing this over a decade. When I arrived to his shop that he had a lots of work load, but he was accomadating. He was very patient in person and explains so well. I have so many customer in auto repair and dealers, but this shop has the most high tech tools i ever seen.

• Pros: Highly Skilled.
• Cons: 30 min away from my place is at MIdtown...

Yeah, my car starts!

by everythingmatters at Citysearch

I'm not from Houston, so on a tip from Citysearch I took my car to Midtown Auto Service a couple of years ago, and I'm still doing business with them. My 11 year old car drives better today than it did 6 years ago; it requires a moderate amount of maintenance and Midtown consistently repairs my car and fast. I think the thing I like about them the most is that they will take the time to try to figure out what is going on even when the car is kind of working but not really, so I don't have to breakdown on the freeway first. They're just better than most shops.

"Car Talk I love that radio station!

by verylikemuchu at Citysearch

I found Midtown Auto Service through "Car Talk" - a popular radio staion. I think he makes frequent guest apperances there so one day I heard him there, and he was very knowledgeable about the art of diagnostic of cars. So, naturally I visited him and was treated pleasantly and they were attentive to my needs. 2 thumbs up here from the professor.

• Cons: Doesn't open until 8 a.m.

Best Auto Service Around

by tjclt4 at Citysearch

Midtown Auto Service is great! Here is why: my Corvette was is bad shape. Mikey was able to save my Corvette from having the heads replaced. It would have cost me around $3,000! He did it for a fraction of the

price. Mikey/his shop are AC Delco experts. Very honest and friendly. Do not go anywhere else. Trust me.

I have been going there for over a year.

They're pretty good at what they do.

by reviewer5676 at Citysearch

I like the fact that he was a certified AcDelco factory repair shop being my car is a Saturn. I had some ideling issue where my car would idle real high all of a sudden. I think I took it to two maybe three shops and they could not figure out what that issue was. The owner, said, " i will run a engine diagnostic on it and if I can't find out I wont charge you anything." Well Hell thats a deal, I thought. He found and fixed my car and got it running smmmmmmmmoooth. He's a hell of mechanic, damm good.

• Pros: factory certified AcDelco
