Reviews of Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair

James Curty

Had my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee towed here at the recommendation of a friend. We had changed the thermostat because my Jeep had a minor leak and the light had come on that the engine was too hot. That went away with the new thermostat and topping off the coolant. Two days later, it was Niagara Falls coming from underneath, and it wasn’t drivable. The team at Gulf Coast Auto looked at the cooling system, piece by piece, and diagnosed what was wrong. It turns out the entire system sans hoses was leaking to some degree with the water pump just pouring out coolant. I have to return for another issue, but I’m glad I found a shop I can rely on. They were effective and efficient in diagnosing and repairing my vehicle, and I would recommend them. Blake was my point person and he was great

Kenneth Norris

Amazing service, I had a long drive from california and my A/C wasn’t working. Called GCTA and they said to bring it in that day. I got the car back in 3 hours post drop-off and the A/C in my car blows as cold as ever. Honest prices, Quick service, and Great technicians. Big thanks to Blake for transforming a stressful situation into a simple one. I’ll be sure to take my cars here for my future auto care needs!!

Valerie Hopkins

Randy made my first visit very comfortable. I quickly trusted and knew my vehicle was in good hands and at a fair price. If you live in the area Johnny will that you home if your vehicle is being kept. Johnny is a cool guy and very kind. Gulf Coast auto repair will definitely be my place to take my vehicle. I’m Blessed to have found them.

Diane Veraa

They did a wonderful job! They coordinated picking up my Jeep from the dealership and repaired it quick. It needed a new starter. Their price was much lower than the dealer. I will definitely use them again.

Rhonda Ramon

Earlier this month I had extensive steering and suspension work done on my Tacoma. Frank was very honest with what work was critical to get done now and what repairs could wait. Frank did a great job updating me on the progress. The price was upfront and no surprises. We will continue to bring our vehicles to Gulf Coast for repairs. Thanks

Andrea Kelley

Gulf coast auto is the ONLY auto repair place I will ever use. I have used them for the last five or six years, and they are truly the most reliable and amazing group of people. They’re always willing to go out of their way to help, never overcharge, and are 1000% transparent throughout the entire process. They also have very fast turn around times, which saves me so much money in the long run, not having to rent a car while they work on mine. We are gulf coast auto family for life!

Princess Fiona

Brought in 2012 Mustang for estimate to repair transmission hose leak. Asked them to check for suspension rattle as well. Called me with estimate for leak repair; the Ford part was very expense and I elected not to have them complete the repair. I paid the diagnostic fee. They informed me that they had tightened up an anti-sway bar connection. This cured a rattle that the car had had for 3 years! Very pleased with through diagnosis and suspension repair!!! Trustworthy, great value.

Sergio Guevara

Went in for a wheel alignment after being referred by a reputable shop. I cant quite remember the older gentlemen at the front desk, but he was quick and simple. Went in and did what I needed and he broke down what my car needed.. Great service for my first time and def will be coming back for future work

Eric Heath

Fantastic customer service. They took my vehicle in and quickly diagnosed the problem and had it repaired the next day. I was charged exactly as quoted. Stop searching and just take your vehicle to these good people if you need service.

Rachael Cox

Went to Gulf Coast after a National chain quoted me $5k for needed repairs. Gulf Coast inspected and said only a few of the items the other shop said needed some really did need some. Spent $1500 instead of $5k and car is running great! I dealt with Ryan who was great!

Matthew Johnson

Had a couple of issues that needed to be addressed on my 2002 F250. They went above and beyond to fix my issues. Very professional and knowledgeable. Will walk you through the entire process. Only place I will take my diesel to for anything that needs to be done to it. Highly recommend this automotive shop.

James Curty

I had my Jeep Grand Cherokee towed to Gulf Coast Auto because water was literally pouring out of the bottom of my car after trying to add it in the radiator when I had problems with overheating that I thought we’d resolved. It turns out the initial event of overheating caused way more damage because the components are plastic (right?). They worked with me to get the proper repairs. Any new shop you go to, you enter with hesitation and caution because of the reputation mechanics have of upselling things you don’t need. While the repairs were expensive, everything they diagnosed was plausible given my own experience with the car in the days prior, and they took the time to go through it with me. I have other unrelated repairs that have to be done soon, and I’m hoping I have a smooth experience again.

Betty Respondek

Mr Randy is amazing! After 2 family members used this location with great feed back I decided to give it a try. Honest, straight up, and detailed won me over. I now have a reliable local mechanic that I will always use!

Quinn Kleerekoper

Ever listen to “Car Talk” on NPR? Wish you had a repair shop with the knowledge and common sense when it comes to auto repair? Well look no further you found it. They are fantastic at not just diagnosing the problem but extremely price competitive and letting you know what would be the best bang for your buck repair. Full explanation and with years of experience you are not going to find anywhere else. If you are hoping to add to your 10 mm socket collection from forgotten tools left in your floorboard by the mechanic.. you are out of luck. Their shop is spotlessly clean.

Sammy may

This is a great shop. They are honest and the price they charge is more than fair. They have worked on my diesel pusher RV and my Jeep. I am very happy I found these guys. 100% recommend.

MV N.

Great service. Were able to fit me into their schedule same day for wheel alignment. Gave me a ride home so I could wait there. Pricing was transparent, didn’t try to upsell me on anything (like NTB always does!) Staff were very friendly, office was very neat. Will be using for all future auto needs.

Don Jay

Absolutely the best service group I have ever encountered. I ran a sales and service company before I retired. These guys are what I envisioned us becoming. Can't recommend more highly. Second visit: I am as delighted as with first visit. They worked very hard to find the most cost effective yet proper brake repair scheme on a very high mileage truck. Outstanding effort and result!

Third One

Coolant leak caused car to break down. GCATR discovered the issue. Gave me a 1 to possible 2 day repair time frame. They were able to complete repair in one day. This is my third visit to GCATR. I appreciate their skill and professionalism.

David Curry

My car needed a wheel alignment and I was able to schedule an appointment and had the job completed within a couple of hours the same day. The alignment came out perfect and the car is no longer wandering.

Trevor Bosch

Awesome people and honest pricing. The knowledge and work is also unmatched. I bring my older truck here often to get looked at and worked on, and also my companies work vehicles. They have always been fair with pricing and you can be sure the work is quality! Only place I will bring my vehicles!

Jaime Perez

This was the first time I’d been there, but I would definitely go back. They took the time to troubleshoot the issue I was having and were very honest about it all. They didn’t try to sell me something that I may not need and I appreciate that. I also asked for an oil change after I got there and they had no problem doing that as well.

Steve Vega

They were very professional. The shop is clean and the mechanics dressed professional as well. I had a bad rear differential. It was replaced in a timely manner at a fair price. I was kept informed of the progress throughout the repair. I would use then again and would refer them to friends and family

Mike Zwernemann

My 2005 Hummer had numerous oil leaks. They fixed ‘em all and did a fantastic job. I’ll definitely use them again.

T Beaton

They are always super friendly and do great work. The turn around time is very quick and I like that they are a local business. My family and I have used them for years 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 …

Tina Ochel

Very competent, reasonably priced service . Got us out of a bind and back on the road the same day . Personnel upfront and honest about the problem and how to fix it . We decided this was our new go - to place when it came to auto repair services . We have 4 vehicles to take care of !

Douglas Hayes

Gulf Coast replaced my starter and checked my lights and blinkers. They got me in as soon as I arrived and diagnosed my car. They told me when it would be ready and had it ready when they said. Would definitely use again and customer service was great!

Tammi Fitzgerald

Talked to Randy to get second opinion about needing to get all brakes and rotors replaced. Turns out only the rear needed to be replaced and the front still had about 6 mos left. Got the rear done and now have time to save for the front. Thanks for your honesty and fast service.

Indigo fast

I’ve gone here for around a year - I highly recommend them. They do great work with fair pricing and are highly communicative. Thank you guys! :)

T Kennedy

Helped me get my 1969 Ford F250 running like it was fresh from the factory. East to work with. Great experience.

corey breaux

Very professional and quick, they got my car fixed up and sent me on my way… my vehicle rides just as smooth as the day I bought it.

Brandon Ducker

My wife and I are new to Texas so choosing a auto repair place can be difficult, but this place is second to no one they not only got me in fast but kept me in the loop on every step of my repair. Thank you so much for everything and a timely manner and amazing service! Capt Brandon

aniseto Canales

I took my F150 was having starter problems would not start. I was quoted a price before repair and was final cost when I picked it up the same day it was repaired. I recommend anyone having problems with their vehicle to go there. Very nice employees.

Bob “Bob”

New update, Dropped off my other vehicle. Older 4X4 for an alignment and overall safety check. They did a great review and dialed in some concerns with the front end. Felt and drove better without question. I am completely satisfied with the experience. I dropped my truck off early, they inspected a brake concern and in the end assured me everything was okay, they completed an oil change and did a "trip inspection" as well. They were able to get me in and out the same day. Very nice folks, very positive, very clean and professional shop. They have done quality work for both my kids as well, we trust them and will use them again.

Tina

They have done lots of work on our vehicles and are always so professional and knowledgeable. Always a great job!

Robin Baker

I went to this shop because of their great reviews on Google, Yelp, etc. I was not disappointed.The day before I went here I'd gone to a Firestone Auto Repair shop. They told me I needed to use the dealer because it was an electrical issue. That didn't sound right to me so I thought I'd try these folks. In very short order they understood what was wrong + took care of it at a very reasonable price. It's my new auto repair shop...5 stars.

Marcy Anderson

I can’t say enough good things about this repair shop! I was driving from Florida in a new to me Yukon pulling an auto transport trailer loaded with another new to me car. I noticed that the weight of the trailer was dragging down the rear of the Yukon beyond what I felt was safe. I was headed back to Florida and on a time crunch - Gulf Coast Auto was able to upgrade my rear shocks and even let me leave the auto transport there while they repaired and I could get back on the road. Immaculate shop. Very reasonable pricing. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

Frank Steele

Awesome shop. I’ve used them for years. They are always quick, helpful, upfront and honest. I have 4 sons, so we have a lot of older cars as they work their way through high school and college. Gulf Coast helps me keep them up and running, and for a reasonable cost. I highly recommend them.

Clgm Mills

I’m a repeat customer of Gulf Coast truck & auto because they provide the best professional service in League City you want to expect from auto repair shop. I’ve had my 2009 Nissan Xterra repaired here when my alternator went out. I appreciate the fast turn around and fair market price. Keep up the fantastic work guys!

Tracy Modisette

I have had issues with a squeak in my car for 3 years, I took my car to 3 different shops and had everything known to man replaced/fixed even brake pads and rotors and it never fixed the problem, I got new tires and wheels etc I honestly don’t think any of the places I took my car really replaced my brakes Finally found Frank and he took the time to listen to me and hear me out, he was patient, kind, knowledgeable and understanding. He fixed my car finally and I will not go anywhere else from here on out. Great place, clean, professional, they do what they say in a timely manner and I HIGHLY recommend them.

Kate Vosta

From the initial call of contact with Jeb, our experience with this shop was great. The informative approach and willingness to get our vehicle serviced in a timely fashion was incredibly helpful. Randy provided a great education component to our visit that is like no other. This team took care of our family vehicle and did so in a professional and thoughtful way. We highly recommend this shop.

Ron

Awesome experience. Frank and the gang helped me work through with my warranty company to get my truck engine repaired. Very honest, very prompt, and excellent communication. Very highly recommended!!!

Doug Shuck

I am new to the area and had problems with the Def system on my F250 Diesel. I had found Gulf Coast and had seen they had been in business for 35 years and diesels were a specialty. I called and they got me right in. They kept me updated on every step and was able to fix it without replacing any parts. They could of easily said a part or two were bad but they were totally honest! I will definitely be bringing my vehicle back with any future problems!

Tom Brabant

I had another shop repair my F250 to cure the death wobble. After driving it for a few months it never seemed to be completely eliminated, so I took it to Gulf Coast Auto. They put it on the rack and told me what they wanted to do and gave me an estimate. Called me 2 days later to come pick it up. I am very pleased with the repair, the truck drives like new. They were able to warranty out a part the previous shop had installed which saved me $300. I would recommend them to anyone. Good honest service.

Kim Fairchild

Took my Tundra in for brake work. They did great work and stood behind that work when a problem came up. Highly recommend this auto shop.

Tabetha Woods

I had a very good experience with Gulf Coast. I had an unusual circumstance where my drive shaft snapped and the part was on back order for months. Instead of having me out of a vehicle for that long, they were resourceful and found a part and repaired my vehicle quickly. I appreciate them repairing my vehicle. They provided the tow service and kept me in the loop from start to finish.

Brian Brummer

The clutch went out on my '97 Ford Ranger and they replaced the master and slave cylinders along with the flywheel as well as the grommets on the shifter. The truck shifts like it would coming off the lot now. Always top notch work from them and will always recommend them to anyone needing work done!

Tim Scheeser

Honest and good work. Didn’t want to use a dealership anymore and found my new go to.

Ben Hysell

Working in the vehicle industry I have a lot of experience with repair shops. Gulf Coast Automotive and Truck repair is a professional shop. They may not be the cheapest but they’re honest and trustworthy.

Tim Carlisle

Quick and professional service. I will surely use Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair in the future and recommend to anyone needing a vehicle repaired.

Daniel Music

Great, service minded people! They told me honestly which recommendations from another shop were not necessary. Trustworthy, fairly priced and fast! Highly recommended.

Katie Woodside

Gulf Coast Auto replaced my alternator. Great customer service and fast turnaround time/same day service. Very happy with the work.

paul sebring

I went to Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair after several stops at other shops. The other guys don't work on Duramax and they had me believing I was looking at extremely expensive repairs. Frank and his staff were very courteous and professional and without doubt are on top of the game. They listen to your concerns and show interest in getting you back on the road with their quality work. And their rates are fair. It didn't cost anywhere close to what I was led to believe it was going to be. I am quite happy with my experience at Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair. If your vehicle is in need of service I highly recommend stopping by and seeing Frank and his great staff. You can't go wrong. Paul Sebring

Timothy Clements

Have been taking cars here for many years. They are honest and knowledgeable. Had my front end suspension rebuilt on my 4x4 and it is like new. They also have done a number of repairs to my minivan such as fixing the poor shifting, replacing damaged exhaust system, replacing starter. All done at a fair price, quickly and with no further issues.

Caleb Niederhofer

I have used Gulf Coast Auto for years, and it is one of the best shops around. It is one of the few places, that I trust with any of my vehicles. Blake, and the crew are always professional, fair prices, and do professional, quality work. The shop is also very clean, and organized, compared to others. Nobody is perfect all the time , but if there is ever a issue, they will make it right. Give them your business.

Cory Webster

I had a wonderful experience and glad to share. I had a concerning problem with my Duramax and stopped by their shop before having truck towed there. They have a very clean facility and an extremely helpful and attentive staff with a can do attitude. They got me in, turned around and fixed up fast with excellent communication. I highly recommend these guys! Thank you again!

The original Matt Scott

Great people! Found my problems, told me what they were and didn't charge me a dime. I will be back, to spend some money with them!

Stuart Fox

Friendly, knowledgeable, the repairs were performed in a timely manner, good communication so you know exactly what is being done, they use only top quality parts, will recommend this shop to everyone I know

Scott Turnbough

Highly recommend! I have used Gulf Coast many times over the last 15 years since moving to League City. Can't recommend them enough! Honest service with honest prices. For example, years ago my A/C was acting up on my truck and I fully expected a very expensive repair. Gulf Coast found and diagnosed the problem. It was the knob...a $10 knob. No up selling. No manipulation. No dishonesty to make an extra buck. Just the replacement of a very simple part.

Maverick Field

Great experience and great communication. Frank is upfront and does what he can to get you back on the road. Will definitely use this shop in the future.

Freddie Schmidt

Highly recommend.... fixed my car fast, very nice people, good fair price.

Laura Walker

Always dependable and very quick. They always communicate what is going on with our vehicle. They are wonderful!

Jack Mazzola

I have new Cadillac converters put on my truck 6 months ago I brought the truck back last week and they discovered the Cadillac converters had a manufacturer's defect and it replaced them free of charge not even a labor cost

Steven Palermo

They did the work quickly and my truck is running great.

Shane DeCoux

These guys are great. They get your car in and get the job done and let you know exactly what’s going on. They’re my go to mechanic shop.

dina hank

We take all our business and personal vehicles here, they do a fabulous honest job.

Chris Abell

Great service and professional. Definitely delivered on time and in my case under budget. Highly recommend.

Shaye

Professional service, great pricing, clean atmosphere, and a speedy fix on my AC! I took my car in at 7am and had it back that afternoon. I am extremely satisfied and will continue bringing my vehicle's here for maintenance.

Sudhir Chhikara

Went for a checkup. They were honest and fast. I’ll use them again!

Donna Keel

Hose replaced. Was broken down on I45 got a tow truck to use and back on the road in two hours. Wonderful friendly staff.

rechha long

Always great service. Everything done in timely manner. No pressure to get anything fix.

Joseph Hancock

Always honest quick service. Lots of communication about the work being done. This was the third vehicle I’ve taken there. Very pleased with their work.

Melissa S

They did a wonderful job of helping me, and helped me recognize that my transmission did not need replacing at this time. I have used them in the past and will gladly use them when it is time to trust my car repair to them again. Everyone is polite and respectful.

Robert Dennard

Friendly service. Good work on vehicle, they repaired what needed done.

Kelley O'Toole

Replaced my A/c condenser called and dropped off in the morning picked up in the afternoon. Beat competitors price substantially. A/c blows cold.

Toby Burt

I started using these guys a few years back for my older vehicles I have had. I recently showed up with my 2018 truck only 45,000 miles on it, explained what was going on and they knew exactly the diagnosis over the counter due to this year GMC. They called the same day maybe within an hour of dropping it off, verified the issue, had parts ordered and it was ready to go the next day. Truly honest shop that you can trust. Thanks again guys

Bailey Brantley

Gulf Coast has taken care of me every time I have taken in my Audi. They're speedy, communicative, and priced fairly. I live an hour away but their service always make it worth the drive. I recommend them to everyone!

Randi S

I’ve heard good reviews about this shop from several people and when I was having an issue with my vehicle this week I decided to bring it to them. Frank was so friendly and made me feel comfortable leaving my vehicle with him. My car was ready the same day and has been driving smoothly ever since. I needed type issue diagnosis and repairs and the price was right. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

Clayton Webb

Another visit to Gulf Coast that left me completely satisfied by their work. They're honest, up front, and as detailed as much as you want them to be. The timetable for fixes, repair, and inspections is great. Love this place and appreciate all their work on my vehicles.

Robert Nahmensen

Finding an auto mechanic can be a tricky task. I took a chance and it paid off big time! Timely service, great communication and a fair price while exceeding my expectations. I would highly recommend for any of your vehicle repairs.

Kevin Glancy

They called to let me know the detailed problem and what my options were. I appreciated the honesty

Daniel Schoessler

Randy and the team did a great job troubleshooting the problems and repairing the vehicle. It was wonderful working with a business that does what is in the interest of the customer, such as repairing parts that can be safely repaired and continue to be used as opposed to replaced. The work was done expertly and quickly. I will be returning here for future auto shop needs.

Kris Campbell

I have been taking my cars here for years and they always treat me right. They have saved me money many times by making sure they properly diagnose the problem. Not just throwing parts at it. And, they are very friendly! I highly recommend Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair.

Jac Burke

We’ve been clients of Gulf Coast for a few years. Most recently they installed air bag suspension and rear brakes on our motor home. In the presence of the supply-chain stigma and the human experience that comes with it, GC never faltered and was diligent to keep us “in the loop” in terms of progress. Minor problems never slowed them down and we are more than highly satisfied with their work and especially their honesty. We highly recommend them for your needs for repair and maintenance. A very special thanks to Frank, Blake and Jeff for a job well done . Jac & Linda. Burke, League City, Texas.

Jeremiah Criswell

Diagnosed the problem quickly and had thermostat replaced in less than a day. Price is fair and the guys are extremely knowledgeable and courteous. I have had suspension work completed there as well. I highly recommend.

Mike Cooper

I had just bought a 53 Chevrolet pickup with several issues that needed attention. Frank communicated and kept me updated on what he found. The service was great and I was aware of everything that was being done. I feel great comfort in knowing I have a shop like Gulf Coast Auto and Truck to care of my vehicles. Special kudos to Frank for keeping me informed and in the loop during the entire process. I am VERY SATISFIED and will not hesitate to take my vehicles there and recommend them to all my friends. Thanks again!!!

James Birdsong

Fuel pump, coil pack, and spark plug replacements. Fast diagnostic and repair. Excellent service.

Briana Etie

This business is very professional. I think what I like the best, the person answering calls and at the front desk, knows about my the repairs. Everyone in the shop has excellent customer care skills. Taking the time to explain the details of my repair and showing the old broken part. Never do I feel the repairs or steps taken were unnecessary. I felt they took all steps necessary to ensure the right part was repaired. I entrust this shop with all of my family's vehicles.

Jamie Guedry

I brought my car to Gulf Coast to have my A/C looked at. The guys here were straight to the point about what exactly was wrong with it. They were also very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and did not try to upsell parts that I did not need. The job was complete in less than 24 hours! Would definitely recommend & will return in the future!

Arcelia Ross

Blake & the staff were very helpful & knowledgeable. The work done was at a reasonable price and I was satisfied with how they took care of my daughter's car.

Jay Sharrock

Team was thorough and explained the issue and solution. Quote was spot on to the estimate. Great service.

Andy Mann

Another shop quoted me $1,500.00 to repair my frontend. I decided to get a second opinion. Gulf Coast Auto took a look and said all I needed was an alignment. Amazingly honest.

Mikey Elizabeth

My family has been coming to Gulf Coast Auto for probably 20 years. They have always been friendly, honest, and fair. Frank and Randy are great! and the service is always done when they say it will be. They keep you informed through the whole process. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else.

Jason Starke

Very professional and courteous staff. Repairs were done quickly and done right. Reasonable price. Very happy with Gulf Coast and will be back with my other car as well!

MaryAnn Crowder

An amazingly pleasant experience! As a “older” woman, I always hesitate at auto repair shops…HOWEVER, this business is AWESOME! A true hidden gem right here in League City!

Amanda Fontenot

This is my second time coming here and I am truly satisfied. They do an excellent job and do not try to add on anything. They find what's wrong and fix it. Same day service. I highly recommend this place. I will continue to do business with them on both of my vehicles.

Jon Cline

I was looking to purchase a vehicle from a dealer down the street and Randy quickly did a full inspection to let me know what I was looking at. He was able to do it same day turned it around quickly and gave me a great assessment of the vehicle to inform my decision. Would highly recommend and use again.

Edie Eldridge

I had some doubts about about a used car I purchased so I took it to them to give it a once over knowing that they were honest and wouldn’t try to find things wrong with it just to make a buck. Turns out all was good and for a small fee I had more piece of mind. I would highly recommend Gulf Coast Auto for their integrity.

D L

Went to pep boys at first to get an alignment. They red flagged my rack and pinion for a leak. Now my Silverado is a 2013 with 98k miles on it. So I went to gulf coast to get a second opinion. There was no leak, at all. They did my alignment and topped off all my fluids and saved me a lot of money for a part that didn’t need replacing. Normal wear and tear. Randy came through and is very professional and considerate. Even offered to give me a ride home while my truck waits. Highly recommend these guys 100%. I will be doing business with them for the foreseeable future.

J Coy Wheeler

This was my third time bringing my truck to them for a repair. They are always precessional, honest, and do quality work at a fair price. Much faster than a dealership and much less than the dealership. I trust them to diagnosis the problem correctly and fix it. Highly recommend you take your vehicle to them.

Gracie Easly

My car was ready to pick up on the same day it was looked at and the repairs cost less than I had expected. I called a couple of times for information and Randy was super helpful!

Patrick Galvin

I've been taking my cars to Gulf Coast for 20 years. Frank and Randy have been there the entire time and are the best at what they do. Their knowledge is incredible, their communication is the best, most of the time they complete the work on the same day, and the prices are always reasonable. Everything positive that I see in the other reviews reflect my experience as well. It doesn't take long to see that the way they do things is the way every shop should be run. Very professional, very trustworthy.

Daniel Wallach

Best service I could ever ask for. Job was quick and precise. They walked me through what I needed, why, and showed proof. I even left my wallet and they made sure it was secured in my truck. 10/10 would always recommend.

Roger Terrel

We have used Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair twice recently and have been very pleased with their work. Randy was very friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and prompt. It's hard to compare prices, but I feel like we were charged a fair fee for the work they performed, something that I can't say about the place down the road that we had been using the way too long, a place that charged $118 to change an air filter that I had done myself before in under 5 minutes! We are glad we found GCATR and we definitely plan to keep using them.

Kathleen Shivers

Car was shaking pretty badly while driving and we had gotten a couple different opinions we weren’t sure of. Took it to Gulf Coast Auto because we had heard they were trustworthy. Both axles needed replacing which they knew would be costly so they ordered some after market parts to see if they would fit and cost us less. Unfortunately ended up having to get parts from Mazda but their effort to save us money was appreciated. As soon as they got the parts the work was done same day and my teenager was back on the road. They communicated well by phone and by text every step of the way. Great experience!

Clarence Green

The place was good and clean. The counter help was nice and polite. I felt at that moment I was at the right place.

Julie Borgmann

I had to get my car towed on a Saturday after hours and they got it in and fixed first thing Monday morning. They hadn’t ever seen me before, it was my first time there. They called me quickly after opening and looking at my car to let me know the problem and the cost. By the time I was off work that afternoon, they had it done and it’s running great now! I’ll definitely go back to them.

David Damm

I seldom write reviews, and nothing heroic or extraordinary occurred during my experience. However I have to comment on the absolutely competent, communicative, straightforward, honest methods these guys use in day-to-day business practice. My old diesel truck with 400,000+ miles was having some problems that could be tricky to figure out for any shop. They sorted out what was wrong, (an electrical short inside the valve covers, affecting the injector module ) quoted me a price, fixed it, along with taking care of a few other minor nuisances that would have caused me trouble down the road. I appreciated the text message progress updates and the truck was done when they said it would be done. I recommend them highly.

Zachary Jackson

Randy answered the phone. He was to the point and was able to see me same day. I went to his shop when we discussed they were able to work on my truck right away. I was in for a a/c charge. They diagnosed that my evaporator most likely has a crack we could smell the Freon in the cab slightly. The mechanics including Randy were very helpful and professional. They know what their talking about. I will continue to come here whenever I have a problem I don’t want to tackle myself. Thanks again gulf coast. Update I brought the truck back and they replaced the evaporator in it and suggested to change a few other parts while the whole dash was out. They did a great job and had the truck back to me by the end of day 2. I highly recommend these guys!!

Morgan Thompson

Blake was so quick to get my car repaired within 24 hours!! As a mother of four, not having a car was a huge deal for us! Thank you Blake and Randy so much!

jonathan sanders

Very professional and fast. Helped find the parts I needed and found ways to save money.

I am always nervous when using a mechanic because I don’t know enough about cars and fear being taken advantage of. I suspected the battery was the issue and needed it fixed before I passed my inspection. I called on a Friday afternoon, was asked to bring my car in Monday morning. In a couple of hours they called to confirm it was the battery and that it would be done same day. By mid day I was able to pick up and go. I picked this place because of the reviews and they were spot on. I even ran it by my dad and his friends had good things to say. I will make sure I take all my business to them going forward.

Julie Bunyan

All I can say.....they were awesome. They went above and beyond to see what was wrong with my car. Everyone is great and very honest. Love that

Chelsea Iwig

I went to this shop for the first time when my car started acting up on Friday. I had suspicions of what I thought may be wrong and asked if these things could be checked. The person I spoke to was so nice and professional and I felt like he really was listening to me when I was explaining what was wrong. This is a rare experience for me as a female as I often seem to be dismissed by auto mechanics as not knowing anything. Anyway, he checked everything and gave his honest opinion of what I needed to get fixed right away and what things I should hold off fixing since it is such an old car that I plan to get rid of in the near future. Many mechanics would just have me fix all the things to get more money out of me, so I am beyond grateful for his honesty. I will definitely be continuing to use Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair for all future car maintenance and repairs.

Matthew King

They all ways done a great job on my vehicles l will always recommend them. They let you know up front what they have found wrong before they do any work. Very reasonable on cost never have done me wrong.

Debbie Darwin

Fantastic service and great folks who follow up and keep you informed of progress. I love my car and they took excellent care of it and I’m extremely satisfied and will go back to them again whenever I have any repair needs. Thank you soooo much!

Jamieson Mackay

These guys are the best mechanics around. I trust them with all my vehicles. If they find out that something is covered by the original warranty, they let you know so you can take it to the dealership and save some money. Their honesty is much appreciated and makes customers for life.

Brianna Dominick

Gulf Coast Auto was awesome, they quickly found the issue with my vehicle and took care of it! I brought my car in when they opened and got it back at lunch time. Very reasonable pricing considering my issue. Highly recommend if you want fast, professional, & quality service!

Paul Brenner

I can not thank everybody that works at this shop enough. This is all because I ended up needed a new oil pan installed after running over some debris. This impact caused a slow leak around my oil drain plug I could not ignore on Sunday during the day. As my Aunt and uncle live right down the street and have used Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair for many years with great success, they offered to call up the owner Frank to see if his shop would replace the damaged pan and check over the car starting Monday. After talking back and forth he said that we were welcome to drop it off Sunday night via the after hours drop box they have and that they would take a look at it and replace anything that was broken/damaged for us. He also said that I could purchase the new pan, gasket and new oil from somewhere else like oreillys if I wanted to save money on parts. I would just need to pay the labor costs to have their techs install my supplied parts at the shop and any other services done. After bringing the car up there with the new parts Sunday night and dropping it off they delivered it back fixed with a very fast turn around of 2 days. I consider this extremely fast as I come to find out after asking some questions that they had to do a lot more work than simply unbolt the old pan and re-bolt the new pan back into place. They had to disassemble a bit of the underside of my car to get the oil pan out which is common on some models which takes time. You also have to factor in that they had other cars to work on before me that they needed to finish which also takes time depending on the repairs needed. Along with the pan replacement I had my suspension checked and an alignment done to make sure there was no further damage not detected by my eyes caused by hitting the debris. After getting a new pan installed and an alignment done my 2005 accord finally drives straighter down the road than ever before and has no leaks to be found. I could not be happier with the work done and I will continue to use Gulf Coast Auto for any other repairs that might arise and will recommend them to others for their repairs also.

Cindy O

I’ve taken my vehicle to Gulf Coast auto several times now and I’m impressed every time I go. The owner Frank and all the guys are honest. And I do trust them with my car; which in this day and age is refreshing and rare. Their work is excellent. Randy at the front is wonderful and takes great care of customers. As a woman, I would highly recommend to other women that these guys will not take advantage of you.

Jeannette Roberts

Very quick at tending to my car. Thank you for your service

Sara Niday

Honest work for an honest price! Had to get headlights replaced on an older Cadillac. Took me over a week to find the discontinued parts and Gulf Coast was very helpful and understanding. They gave me honest opinions and did amazing work. I highly recommend!

David Boothman

Quick expert service. Very happy with the work they did.

John Bridgwater

They do excellent work, friendly and knowledgeable employees.

Gabrielle Vera

My car started to shudder and then it just stopped on at my job in Houston. I knew I had to get it towed to a shop near League City. Gulf Coast had tons of good reviews so I had my car towed to them. Frank was extremely helpful and they spent their time trying to find the source of what made my car shudder and just stop. Everyone I talked to was extremely nice and informative!

Deborah Satterlee

I have trusted this business for decades. They are careful, respectful, and dependable. I have recommended them many times to many people.

Brooke Wallace

I sincerely wish I had come to these people first! Unfortunately, I went to my oil change people with an engine light problem. Almost $1000 later, they told me they were at a loss. My wife researched auto repair nearby and read the great reviews Gulf Coast had received so I went there. They discovered my problem and very honestly informed me of my options for a very reasonable amount of money. Mine was a older vehicle and fixing my immediate problem would only lead to future heavy repairs because of it’s age. In a long run, they probably saved me many thousands of dollars. My wife wanted me to get a new vehicle and Gulf Coast told me I should listen to my wife.... Ha! Like I said, I wish I had come to these people first.

Mike

Very friendly team. Good service from the first phone call. I really appreciated the text letting me know my car was ready. Due to this experience, this shop is now my Go-To autoshop for my family.

Josh Hayes

I've used Gulf Coast Auto and Truck for all my mechanic needs for 13 years and they are just great. Great communication and advice come standard with dependable repairs at a reasonable price. Are there cheaper places? Sure. But I'll tell you this, I ain't ever had something Randy and the other guys worked on have to be fixed twice.

Hiram Fairchild

These guys take care of you. They went the extra mile for me! Thanks Frank!!!

tom dickens

Prompt service, clean neat shop, timely repair, be sure to take check bc credit card fee.

Rebecca Lee

Won’t take my vehicles anywhere else. Impeccable service and great people.

Jack Shover

I've had my vehicle there several times, and I'll keep going back!

heather boettner

Gary was super nice and helpful quickly over the phone. Told him my issue and he addressed that it should be a big expense or timely. He was right! I was already on my way to drop my car off at 5pm. The next morning they called and th yes had fixed the problem with my bolt and lug nut! The gentleman at the counter was super helpful as well Took longer for my ride to come get me than the guys to handle my issue! ;-) will visit again. Great local business and affordable!

Spencer Snyder

Gulf coast auto did a fantastic job fixing my jeep that had broken down. I originally thought the problem was the flex plate a 1,000 dollar job but they found it to be just the starter and repaired to fairly quickly while also finding a vacuum leak on my brake booster fixing my brakes and a throttle control light. Well definitely be using them for future auto repairs.

jon Dubose

Great service! Bought my car in to check out a suspecious sound. Explained what I was hearing and left the car with them. Within hours they tested, drove the vehicle and discovered the issue. They called me to let me know what it was. Quoted price and was done and ready for pick up in a reasonable amount of time. I definitely recommend them for any work you need on your vehicle.

Karen Cram

Service was great. Very knowledgeable employees and friendly. Definitely will use again for all my auto repairs.

Michael Sparks

Gulf Coast Auto has helped me out on several occasions when other auto service centers couldn't figure it out. Frank is an outstanding person to deal with, he's always to the point and doesn't cut corners.

Susan Reed

As someone who used to be in the auto industry, I would recommend this shop to everyone. As a woman I would recommend this shop to other women. They are professional, courteous, and efficient. Thank you Gulf Coast for always taking care of my cars! For this visit they only performed a tune-up on my vehicle. Since this is my first Google review for them I chose the different things they have done for different cars I have taken to them. They can work on everything!

Don Staples

It seems simple right? You drop off your auto, a professional tells you what is wrong, what needs to be done, how much it will cost, and how long it will take. As simple as it sounds, it's tough to find...unless you take your auto to Gulf Coast! I have used them for years to maintain 5 cars/trucks, and have always had an excellent experience. They have been done on time every time, and the price has never been more than they quoted. It has been less a few times, but never more. On top of that, I have never had to wash a greasy handprint or smudge off the interior, doors, or fenders! I deal with the same people each time I go in. Most people fail to understand why that is so important. Consistency in your staff translates to consistency in your business, and happy mechanics do a better job. If management treats their employees with the kind of respect that keeps them around, you can expect them to treat you with that same respect. It really is that simple.

Tim Terry

Visited Gulf Coast on 7/6/22 for Custom Vehicle inspection. Staff was very helpful and thorough. I would and have recommended them to others.

Brett Goldman

A year ago I had my car checked out, they found nothing wrong and didn’t charge anything for their time. This kind of service earned my business for when I knew I needed work done. Just got done having the car serviced for multiple issues. All of them were fixed, in the same day, for a fair price. My 11 year old car is running great because of them.

Jason C

It was my first time to use these guys and they did not disappoint. I dropped off my 2012 6.7L F-250 after hours for an oil leak. By 0930 the next morning I received a call from them giving me a full rundown of what they needed to do and they mentioned another small issue they had found. They were very knowledgeable, professional, timely, and they communicated with me throughout the process and that’s key to me. I can’t stand it when shops don’t do the most simple things- communicate. I’m picky about who works on my vehicles and I’ll definitely be going back to them.

Gene Wallis

These guys have shown that they will do what it takes to get the job done and customers satisfied. I am very impressed with the type of business that these guys run. A special thanks goes to Frank and Blake for taking such great care of my wife and her Mustang.

Tiffany Fisher

The employees at Gulf Coast Auto are knowledgeable, professional and kind. They performed a diagnostic test, looked my vehicle over and were quickly able to determine the issue with my vehicle. I spoke with them several times over the phone and they were extremely patient to provide some background and explain their findings with my vehicle. They were open and honest and performed great quality work at a good price.

Monica Hew

Very helpful and honest auto shop. Brought my car in for maintenance and explained that I had a variety of things replace prior to this maintenance interval. They told me they will do a walk through to Inspect. Car come back within two hours, and was all checked out with oil replaced. Price and labor are reasonable. Location is good since the public library is right next door within walking distance. The only thing is that they didn’t replace the change sticker on my windshield. Will definitely come back.

Chris Parrish Parrish

These are are just outstanding. It is really great to find honest, forthright and knowledgeable folks!

Consuela the Parrothead

Honest auto mechanics!!!! Who knew they still existed. My boss has been using them for over 20 years. I’ve used them twice and have been more than impressed with the quality and honesty of their work. They even cleaned the inside of my jeep for free! It was baaaddd. My console was where bacteria, algae and lizards go to die. So to clean it was short of a miracle and much appreciated! The service is above and beyond. I would recommend this place to everyone, especially women. We tend to be taken advantage of by shade tree mechanics. These guys are the opposite. They kept me updated and gave me less expensive options when ever they could. Met every request at a reasonable cost. Never “found issues” where issues didn’t exist. (I’ve had this happen by many mechanics). A+++++ service again!

Maria Brooks

My diesel truck broke down 1 block away, I called to ask if I could tow to their location and if they could do repairs. Brian was very helpful and accommodating. Repairs were diagnosed and completed within 36 hours. Very happy with Guf Coast Auto

Marilyn Kircus

I was amazed at this company's professionalism starting with my first conversation with them on the phone. They gave me a rough estimate before examining my car, which needed its 100,000 mile checkup. Then they called back without me having to check on it with the estimate. The car was finished in a timely fashion, by the time they promised and the bill was LESS than the estimate. It has factory parts and a 12 month warranty. And all the people I talked to there were superfriendly. I believe that this is a place I can continue to go to with confidence of getting only needed repairs at a great price. 2020 Edit And with a new car and having to use repair places across the country, I’m still amazed.They had me send them my VIN number so they would be sure to have my expected parts on hand. They came in under time and budget predictions and didn’t replace any parts.

Neil Hicks

Car hard to start and would die when running. Very expensive part. Ran many test before condemning fuel pump. Communicated clearly and timely. Had our best interest in mind.

Chris Norton

I have taken my car to Gulf Coast for years. The prices are great and so is the service. They have always given me a courtesy ride to my office so I can still work while they fix my car. There have been times when I need a repair and I can't afford it until later. When I take the car back in weeks later, they honor the same quote. I feel in great hands with Gulf Coast and you should too.

Ben Chambers

Dealer was professional, Randy and Frank were prompt to identify my sway bar issue (was quoted cv axle replacement at Honda of CL) and also replaced both wheel bearings. Not a cheap repair but would go back and do it again at this location if I had to. I’m and out in 2 days before the weekend.

Dixon Gill

I normally don’t do reviews, only under circumstances of the well-deserving. Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair falls under that well-deserving category. From the time I contacted them for help, to the completed process, they were extremely courteous, professional and delivered on their commitment with very fair pricing. I could not be happier with my experience and highly recommend their services. Thank you Blake and Chad!! Linda D.

Carlos Cabrera

When I take my cars to get serviced at Gulf Coast I know it will get done right with quality workmanship and products. I am a repeat customer and will continue to get my cars serviced there Owner of 2 Ford V8's 2012 Expedition 1998 Mustang GT PEACE!

SandraH

I heard a lot of people get their CTS-Vs repaired at Gulf Coast, so decided to take mine. Wasn't disappointed! Great service, very professional, kept us up to date all of the time on service/repairs needs, costs, timing; even sent photos. Appreciate their great work and they will definitely be my shop for all future repairs!! Thank you!

Michael Krengle

These guys were great. I went in unplanned as another shop I planned to have repair my A/C in my Chevy truck seemed disinterested. These guys diagnosed it within 20 minutes of me being there. They drove me to the rental car place to pick up a rental and 24 hours later my truck was ready. As I knew what the other facility was planning to charge me and I compared to one other faculty I knew their pricing was competitive. To note; I felt comfortable having my vehicle repaired there once I saw all their ASE mechanic certificates and BBB awards they had on the wall.

Mia Clark

Very professional yet friendly and personable at the same time. Service was excellent and completed in a timely manner as they stated. I’ve taken my RV to 2 other shops and Gulf Coast is a 5 Star Service Establishment by far. Thank you again, Mia Clark

CBASS 737

Gulf Coast has worked on my 2006 Dodge ram and other vehicles numerous times. My truck has 200k+ miles and requires more maintenance than I wish. They’ve always been straightforward with there answers and fix the issue. I’ve probably spent $5000 on maintenance in the last 4 years, and I’v never had to return it for something they previously addressed. As far as price comparison goes, I have no reference. My thought is you pay for what you get. Do you want the job done right, Or cheap. They do it right.

Working bob

Faster than expected service, lower than expected prices. I dropped my truck off Christmas night because I had to head out to work in The oil fields of west Texas soon after Christmas and was expecting this to take a few days so I wanted to give them as much time as possible. I asked for quite a few things to get done to my truck. It needed a tune up and new spark plugs, It needed a new battery, It needed the transmission fluid/filter replaced, It needed the coolants to be checked/replaced(had original in a 2012) It needed an oil change, And all of this was completed in one day. I was expecting something like a 2 day wait for the service to be completed and then my bill was only a little over a thousand dollars. I was expecting something like this being at least 1500. They where nice gave me updates and just gave good service at good prices.

Susan Parmley

It's never fun having to get your car fixed but all of the staff at gulfcoast made the experience as good as possible. They were all very friendly and professional. The made you feel like a priority and the work they did was fast and excellent quality. Thanks!

Andrew Konkle

AC compressor was shot in my car, (which I expected) but here is why I am reviewing and rating them before I have even finished with the service. I didn't have to call them to check on the status of my car... Amazing, most places in my previous experience I have had to bird dog them with questions. Friendly service with a quick diagnosis and thorough explanation of the required repairs. If you are new in town this is a great place to go. Edit 8-2-2012 Gulf coast not only fixed what was wrong with my air conditioning they have backed it up when minor issues cropped back up. I truly appreciate the quality of service and integrity they show.

Lorraine Laffoon

We needed some brake work done on our car & having just moved to Texas did not know where to go. Based purely on the excellent reviews we took our car to Gulf Coast Auto & Truck and we simply could not be happier. Friendly honest & fair.... we will definitely be taking our vehicles there for needed work going forward. If you are looking for a great place to take your vehicle where you won't have to worry about being given the run-around or sold services that you really don't need... then you just found it! Call Gulf Coast Auto & Truck or just swing in. They are simply the best~

Marlene Verdecchio

They guys were very nice and they don’t beat you up in labor costs. The dodge dealership wanted 450.00 to replace four spark plugs. Gulf coast did it for 125. Need a coil also. They were great and finished In one day where the dealership needs 5 days?!!! I’d go back here in a heart beat

Krista Terry

We trusted Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair to diagnose and repair a transmission leak on our 1955 Thunderbird. Received prompt and courteous service and Gulf Coast stayed in touch with us throughout the entire process, giving us updates on the diagnosis and asking for approval before any repairs were performed. These folks are very polite and took very good care of us. We'd recommend them to others.

Julio Gaviria

I would recommend Gulf Coast Auto & Truck repair to anyone. They have always performed excellent repair service at a fair price. They also go the extra mile in terms of customer service.

Bethanie Miller

I brought my car in for an alignment. They were very busy and still managed to fit me in even though I didn’t have an appointment. They were very courteous and didn’t talk down to me because I’m a woman (my pet peeve). They also explained to me why my car was out of alignment so we could fix the root issue and save me from further wear and tear on the vehicle. Overall a great experience!

Soldier Of The Most High

Third time using Gulf Coast Auto & Truck repair; always good work in timely manner. They’re up front with cost, and never try to offer unnecessary repairs. The price is very fair for the quality of work that is done.

Bryan Clinkscales

I was actually here to repair their LED Display but while I was here I did notice the professionalism displayed by the employees. I was very impressed by how they handled the situations each customer had and they treated them. Good job!

Clairissa Hansen

These guys are amazing. I got my car towed here on a sunday and they looked at it first thing monday morning. They left no stone unturned and were able to find the problem. They are honest and really just want to get your car working and get you the best deal possible. Frank took the time to find me a great deal on a particularly expensive part. They never talked down to me (which is an unfortunately rare experience as a woman), were always respectful, and gave their honest opinions. I never had trouble understanding them. I will always come here as long as I live in the area!

Jamie Williams

Traveling through the area when the dash a/c went out in our motorhome. Called and spoke with Blake - he got us in quickly and had Carl work on it. They diagnosed the issue and fixed it the same day. Their prices are good and their work is great. We highly recommend this place.

Lance54r

Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair did a great job on my " new to me" 9 year old Volvo. They did a four wheel alignment plus turned/machined the front rotors and replaced the front brake pads. The car works perfectly now. The work was done quickly and correctly for a couple of dollars less than the quote. I really appreciate the text updates they sent too! I had a great experience with Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair!

Jeanne Kokes

I'd like to thank everyone at gulf coast Auto they were wonderful. I had a problem with my camper van and they were able to fix it in one day. They were professional, courteous and very nice to work with. And they charged less than what they estimated!

Sarah Wildin

Amazing quality of work and customer service. As a 30 year old woman I am so happy I found somewhere that doesn’t see me coming and try to just get cash outta me. They are honest and fair with me. I’ve been quoted higher for every job they’ve done. Worth the drive from south Houston. Clean, nice people, and always treat me right. Recommend highly to EVERYONE!

tommy bushman

Great experience with this professional shop. Great prices, great work, and fast turn around time. I brought them my 06 f250 with a big list of problems of which they updated me on a daily basis of everything they found and what it would cost to repair if it needed. They didn't repair or swap parts just to so it. If it legitimately needed repair or replace they will advise you honestly about it. Great staff and couldn't be happier with the service provided. This is the only shop I will go to in the future. Thanks Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair.

Mike Maron

Every time I need assistance with a vehicle Gulf Coast Auto & Truck repair listens to my concerns and is unbelievably responsive. They answer all of my questions (even when I don’t fully think them out before I ask) and they complete agreed upon repairs right the first time! I definitely recommend them to everyone. I love the texting communication for addressing the repairs while I am at work. Cuts down on delays and I can reply as my work day allows.

Shoniqua Cattbutt

Very professional and reasonably priced. I went for alignment and so far so good. I will return.

Jason Johnson

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff at Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair. My alignment was a little more advanced then your typical alignment so it was a struggle to find someone willing to understand it and give me what I was wanting out of it. Gulf Coast Auto knocked it out the park! I called them due to a recommendation from a gentleman at a offroad shop in town and boy was he spot on. Randy, who I spoke with at Gulf Coast, did not promise me he could get my truck the way I wanted it but said to bring it by and let them try. They delivered on what I wanted and my truck drives awesome! I will definitely be back for future work on my vehicles.

Mr. Rankin

These guys are the best in the business. I have a truck with oversized tires and most places said they either could not even offer me an alignment or that it would cost close to $200. So, I called these guys. They not only could perform an alignment on my truck with 35 inch tires, but they charged me pretty much what most other companies are charging to do a regular car. Highly recommended this place!

Michael Ham

I came here for repairs on my Pontiac Grand Prix because of all the 5 star reviews. I have to say, they are well deserved. Blake kept me well informed of the progress of my vehicle through the process. Good communication skills. The next time my vehicle needs repairs (it's a car, something will go wrong eventually), I'll definitely be back.

Paula Johnson

We have used Gulf Coast for years with a few vehicles. We recently bought a used truck and soon after we drove it off the lot, a strange noise revealed itself. The dealer mechanic was in possession of our truck for almost two weeks and was unable to diagnose the problem. We brought it to Gulf Coast and they resolved the issue in 24 hours! Randy is awesome...doesn't mind explaining things more than once and is super respectful! Thank you, Gulf Coast!

Resha Randolph

My husband and I will/do recommend Gulf Coast Auto and Truck Repair to anyone who needs service on their vehicles. We have always received "first-class" service and repair jobs. Gulf Coast has never failed us, we trust them to work on all of our vehicles. Our last visit was impromptu, right before going out of town...Gulf Coast got us in and out. We are so glad to have a local shop we can go to and trust! Thanks a bunch to the Gulf Coast support personnel!!

Stephen McKernan

We went to GCATR many years ago when we first moved here but hadn't been there in a long time. Now I am sure we will choose them first. For this visit I had numerous modifications I wanted installed. I visited many shops to see where i would take my car for the work. These gentlemen were by far the most professional i talked to. They did a great job in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their car or truck serviced.

Jr Bright

Randy, Frank and Blake are always upfront and honest when I have a problem with a vehicle. There staff does quality work and I have and will continue to recommend there services to other in need of repairs

Daniel Puebla

Very professional. They repaired/replaced my car’s breaks and they did so for a very reasonable price . I had the same job done in another one of my cars somewhere else and the price was much higher at the other place . Also, the price Gulf coast auto charges for oil change is much better than the other place I go to, so I will definitely come back for any additional car repair needs/oil change . Most recently , the engine fan of one of the cars needed to be replaced and they took care of it very well . Very happy with their service

Elaine M Blakely

Gulf Coast Truck and Auto have been taking care of my near-vintage Jeep Wrangler Sahara for many years. I am never disappointed by their service or courtesy.

David Holt

GCA has renewed my trust in mechanics! Very professional and timely customer service. I took my vehicle in for AC issues and fully expected to get raked over the coals for work I probably didn’t need. The folks at GCA explained the issue and only repaired what was needed for a reasonable price. They have gained a new customer for sure.

Regina Rivas

I took our Dodge Ram Dually in because the steering was a little too loose. They got me right in, found the problem quickly and advised me of the cost. They didn't try to do unnecessary work and the cost was less than I expected. Everyone there was professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend them.

Flor Benitez

This is the 3rd car I take to Gulf Coast Auto, and I am as satisfied as the first time I did. The attention and service you receive are +A each time. I know next time I'll need to service or repair my vehicles I will come back. They are people you can trust.

Ron Beeson

Frank and the guys fixed my front wheel bearing problem on my Nissan Titan. New bearing assemblies and rotors and pads as well as one new caliper. Serviced the truck in 6 hours and was easy for pickup. Frank personally communicated starting at 8am about what the issues were and his recommendations. I’m very pleased with the whole process and the communication

Roger Smith

I have used these guys several times, they always do what it takes to get the job done and with great results. I have a older truck so there's times it's tough getting parts or just the work is tougher and frustrating. Five star rating from me.

Jack Parrish

Very professional and respectful. I’ve taken my truck to 4 different shops to get it aligned and no one did it right. I took it to Gulf Coast and they not only found many other issues as to why it hasn’t been properly aligned, but they also got it aligned perfectly. Highly recommend this shop!

Josh V

After moving to the south Houston area it was important for me to find a trusted mechanic. Gulf Coast Automotive diagnoses the problem accurately and is fair with the pricing. They run quality control checks on all of their completed work so that you don’t have to. It takes a lot more effort to be a little bit better than everybody else but that’s exactly what you’ll find when you take your vehicle here.

Doug Chappell

Been taking my vehicles to Gulf Coast Auto for decades. Great service, fair pricing, HONEST staff and crew. Frank and his Team are the best and I always recommend GCA to everyone. Another great experience this time with getting vehicles serviced, repaired, and maintained. Thank you!!

Nikolas Fernald

I know I’m probably paying a bit more than some places and it’s frustrating they are not open on Saturdays, but I wouldn’t trust anyone else in the area. These guys are the best. Period. Their work is honest, quick and they absolutely do what they say they will. Before I even walk in the door my chart is up and they are greeting me by name. Can’t go wrong here!

David Breedlove

Randy was great. He took the time to investigate and identify the root problem. He fully informed me of my options and the estimated cost. I will definitely return next time I need vehicle work or maintenance.

Alex Puente

The guys at Gulf Coast Auto and Truck were great! I dropped off my car in the evening with what I thought was an oil leak. They couldn't look at it the same day but by the next morning, they were already letting me know what they found. No repairs were needed and I'm glad I could count on their honesty. I know if I ever need to get my car looked at again, I'll definitely be coming back to Gulf Coast Auto and Truck!

John D. Pascoe

They are great guys and did a great job getting me back on the road. I was a little concerned about the price after reading some of they other reviews. However, when I got my bill I was pleasantly surprised! Really affordable compared some of the other auto mechanics I've gone to in the past. Highly recommend!

Justin Grabinski

This is easily the best mechanic shop I've ever been to. The guys at Gulf Coast were able to correctly diagnose and solve a very complicated set of engine problems with amazing service. Every step of the way they were accommodating and informative. I can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Ricky Thibodeaux

I have been taking my vehicles to Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repairs for several years now. The service staff and technicians are very knowledgeable and will only perform the work that is necessary to get you back on the road. Highly recommend these guys for your automotive service.

Spencer Newsom

Randy was absolutely incredible. Super knowledgeable about the problems my car was having and was very professional. My car needed a pretty expensive fix that may not have even saved the engine. He even suggested to not do the fix cause it could potentially be throwing money down he drain. I’ve been to quite a few places that would have just recommended the fix so they could make money but Randy really cared about what was best for me and my situation

Fred Growcock

The AC in my 2000 Plymouth Voyager minivan failed, but given the age of the vehicle, I debated whether to spend the money to have it fixed. A friend recommended Gulf Coast Auto & Truck, and I’m glad I went that route. The employees were very professional, contacting me right away, providing full disclosure of the estimated cost, and getting the work done right away. Although my pocketbook felt the pain, I was very pleased with the service. Indeed, I went back a few days later with an electrical problem on that same vehicle that caused the vehicle to fail the state inspection and received the same great service.

This was my first time taking my vehicle to GCATR for repairs. Let me tell you, this was by far the best experience I have ever had with any repair shop in my 30+ years of driving and owning vehicles. I walked in and told Blake that I needed the brakes looked at on my Jeep Wrangler. He told me to be there at 7 the next morning. I got there at 6:45, they got my info and told me they would contact me about what needed to be done. Around 10am they called and said I needed new pads and rotors on my rear brakes. At 4 they called and told me that it was finished. I was expecting them to say all the pads and rotors needed replacing. My front brakes still had 75% life left in them they told me. In my experience, most other shops would’ve tried to tell me that all the brakes needed work, wether they needed it or not. Their shop is the cleanest I have ever been in. The cost was very reasonable. The people working there are all pleasant, happy to see you, and are appreciative of your business. Thank you GCATR for this great vehicle repair experience. I recommend them to anyone needing their vehicles repaired or maintenance.

My SUV began having A/C problems out of the blue. I knew the problem wasn't going to be a simple fix, but I wanted to find a local shop that was honest and affordable. My brothers informed me of Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair, the entire process of bringing my car in to picking it up was done with ease. The entire staff was welcoming and HONEST. Frank kept me informed with the entire process all along the way. I have working A/C again and will be back if and when I run into any other car issues.

From searching online, I found this place to be credible for my alignment. I contacted them through their website and was answered promptly by Mr. Prisco, the owner; he gave me a great price over email and I decided to book the appointment over the phone for today, Tuesday 2/27/18. Over the phone, I was given a higher quote but that's understandable since some jobs required some inspection/observation/further information to provide a better estimate of the labor to be done; they also told me that the job may take up to 2hr if I drop off the car and I said I will have to wait for it since I need the car asap then they said they'll do their best to have it done within 1hr 30min. So I showed up at the shop at 8:15AM today. I didn't even mention the lower quote that I was given just to see how things would go. I was ready to nap during the wait but to my surprise the car was done by 9:10 AM even though the shop was pretty packed when I arrived. What's even more pleasant was that I was told that the alignment wasn't that bad and they charged me even less than the original quote that Mr. Prisco had given me. I've moved to this area for a couple of years only and wasn't sure where to bring my vehicle to when needed. But now, I think I've found just the place. I look forward to tell my friends about this place. Thank you!

Charles Whatley

I have used this shop several times for my Jeep Wrangler and Nissan 370Z. They made special arrangements to accommodate my car that was lowered and Only had a few inches of clearance. Every time the job was done quickly and properly, I’ve never had to return for same repair twice. Highly recommend this repair shop!

Vernon Mcdaniel

Reflections from an X employee I had the pleasure of working for Gulf Coast for over 3 years. While there I was always treated with fairness and respect. It was one of the cleanest and technically superior shops I have had the pleasure of working for. I witnessed a very well run operation that took great pride in going over and above for their customers and employees. I will miss them!

jared prock

Observations from a past employee Unfortunately and due to circumstances out of my control I had to relocate and leave Gulf Coast Auto. My experience there, all be it short was very rewarding. They have the best technical and mechanical teams I have seen in any repair facility I have ever worked. They were always honest and strived to save their customers time and money. The work that left this shop was ALWAYS double checked by ownership and repair quality was second to none. In addition, it was hands down the most equipped shop I have ever worked for.

Jefferson Riff

They performed a 4 wheel alignment on my Land Rover. One of the few shops in the area, that will do this. It savesme from driving 40 miles to the dealership. Service was fast and accurate and my car drives great. I cannot say enough good things about these guys.

David Bethea

Randy and the team at Gulf Coast have always been easy to work with on my vehicles. They are trustworthy and explain all work that needs to be done. Prices are fair and the work is top-notch!

Scott Schroeder

Gulf Coast Auto has done a great job for me each and every time. Gulf Coast has alway exceeded or met their timeline to finish the repairs. Having the car you depend on is important. No one wants it in the shop for weeks at a time. Frank and his team jump on the repair. They work on everything from 2019 cars all the way to classic cars with carborators, and no computers at all. Frank and his son are very honest; if you don't need it, they won't recommend it.

Joe Spranaitis

I took my truck to Gulf Coast to get a second opinion after a name brand shop gave me a rather extensive and expensive lift list of items needed for a front brake job now I work on all my own vehicles I race cars so I know what goes on underneath the vehicle but I'm traveling at the time so I can't do anything about it spoke to Blake at the front desk he sounded confident and confident and told me he would get back to me and he did so in a short amount of time he diagnosed the front end and came up with the game plan gave me a plight price that was half of what the first shop had told me did the brake job took the truck for a drive and did something I have never had a shop do for me before he drove the truck and then took rotor temperatures which would show if a caliper was hanging up in the pad was dragging on the rotor they were all within spec I've driven the truck for 2 days since and it has been perfect I highly recommend them I can see why they've got a 5-star rating.

ValorYFuerza

Good and knowledgable mechanics. 1 of the few times were I felt like I wasn't being ripped off. Great communication and quick repair. Any time my jeep needs a repair, I'll definitely go back to Gulf Coast.

chris carty

GREAT REPAIR SHOP! We were traveling through the area when a strange vibration began on a 1999 Ford F350 dually. Called them about getting it in for repair asap (on our way to Colorado and needed to stay on schedule), Randy said he could squeeze it in. They took care of the problems (did a couple other needed repairs I have been putting off while traveling) and had us back on the road asap! Very knowledgeable staff, clean and well organized service bays and customer lounge! Highly recommend this shop to anyone needing their vehicle repaired near Houston area! Thanks again guy's for the professional service and courteous staff! Jim K.

Vickie Rickman

Very professional and knowledgeable. Have been there before and will only use Gulf Coast on my vehicles. Work was done in a timely manner as well.

Troy Strange

They have done work for me in the past and have always done great work and treated us very fair. Only did work that was necessary and never tried to up sale

Alex Slocumb

Very honest! Instead of taking my money and slapping a bandaid on a much bigger problem, like other shops have done recently, they took the time to find the root of the issue and tell me that the problem is severe enough that it would cost more to repair than the vehicle is worth. They were helpful, courteous, accommodating, and the price was more than fair. They have won a customer for life, I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone I know!

Stacy Huddleston

First time using Gulf Coast Auto Repair and I was thoroughly pleased from start to finish. Called me to discuss repairs prior to doing any work, and job was done according to schedule. Will definitely return for any future service needs.

Landon Brixey

I'm new to the area, so I called O'Reilly's to see who they recommended around this area. They directed me to these guys and they were awesome. Super honest, and responsive. The bill came out to be a lot less than I feared. They even came and towed my truck! I will use them again.

Tim Martin

As usual, GCAT Repair performs at the highest level. Great communication regarding the extent of repairs needed, and always completes the job in a timely fashion. I‘ve been using them from their first day in business, and referred many people to them. They get all of my repair work. I highly recommend Frank and his technicians.

Dan Costanza

Very Customer focused and attentive. I’ve used Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair for 20 years and they’ve always done a great job for me....I’m very pleased with the service I received.

James Walker

Professional service with great advisors. Done for a fair price in a timely manner. They just became my new go to shop.

Adolfo Correa

Coming from a family owner shop . this is a Very professional auto and truck shop , Thanks Blake and the Technicians for the excellent service! Will recommend this shop 110% . Very Honest people. Super clean and organized,This how every shop should do service! Will see you guys again.

Mama Harris

Super knowledgeable staff and very friendly too!

Ellyn Atkinson

As a woman, I have received the 'auto shop run-around' on more than one occasion, but this is NOT the case with this shop. A year ago, a couple of months after having a complete new brake job done by a dealership which left our Miata squealing like a pig, I had GC check it out. The owner honestly couldn't find anything wrong other than possibly low end products used and charged a very modest fee (or nothing at all--I honestly can't remember) to have checked it out. Impressed with them, but not having the luxury of having time to be car-less, we brought it back later with a laundry list of items to be done while we were going to be out of town. The professionalism and respect was the best I've ever encountered on both occasions--they were personable, friendly and gave me straight answers. The car was ready when promised, all items completed, and the work was explained in detail when I arrived. The best part was the bill. I expected it to be quite a bit more than it was! And, did I mention I was given a ride from and back to the shop and didn't have to call a friend or pay for an Uber? I don't write reviews often, but a clean, courteous, professionally run shop with everyone bending over backwards that offered a cost-conscious service deserves my rating of 5. I will return to them in the future for any other work we require and recommend them to my friends. There are a ton of car shops in our area, but it's worth the little drive to trust a company with your vehicle and not have the worry that they're going to sneak a 'few extra things by' because I wouldn't know any better (which my husband was certain has happened in the past.) Great overall experience, twice!

Аспан Мадениетулы

Very nice people. Did my alignment on Toyota Avalon on time. Highly recommend

Matt

Better than some other shops I have used. Some ways to improve though. Frank comes off like a fast talking salesman instead of someone genuinely concerned with customer service. I was quoted 395 and charged 411.34 before tax. I was given the excuse that an estimate on the phone is not precise.... 395 is pretty precise... Was told most shops dont give a quote over the phone. I'm clearly 50 years old and obviously worked with many shops and I always get quotes over the phone so why try to lie to me like that. This is what I mean by fast talking salesman. Dont try to BS me. Was charged 5 dollar hazardous material disposal. I went in for an alternator replacement. No hazardous material involved. Kinda left a bad taste with that. Overall they got my car in and out same day. Lifetime warranty on the alternator. Price was on par with other shops and they're a half mile from my house so I'll likely use them again. But I hope they will read this review and fine tune their approach to customers.

LeeseAve

So glad I found this auto shop! They are very professional and do the job right the first time. Plus, I don’t have to wait days for my repairs! Prices are good as well. If you’re looking for a great auto shop, look no further!

Melissa White

Excellent costumer service. I also believe they treat women fairly and do not try to take advantage of them like MANY other auto shops do.

Day16 Mgmt

Friendly service, professional, performed the work they said needed and didn't try over sale anymore. Would recommend them and feel confident in using them in the future.

Patrick Utecht

I'm not big on leaving reviews but these guys deserve it. They got my truck in and out in a very timely manner! After looking it over, they cleaned it up so well its hard to tell they even worked on it! If you need a good, reliable shop, these are the guys!!

chris

They are very busy and will turn you away if you dont get there early. They are very expensive, about $100 for a wheel alignment and about $100 for an oil change. I'm sure its quality products and work but still pricey especially when you could get a wheel alignment and an oil change for less than $100 They do good work and use products you can rely on.

Martin Garcia

I had to have my A/C checked out and I have a newer car so my freeon is the new r1234yf and almost no shop has it available. Thankfully Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair did but not only that they did an amazing job. Great service and with fair pricing. So I will definitely be coming back in the future if ever I need any other work done on my car.

Sheila Prisco

It’s a big relief, especially for a women, to know that this shop will never try to oversell or put parts on your car that are not needed. They always keep you informed, fix the problem the first time at a fair price and in a timely manner. Thank you for taking care of my JEEP. Sheila

Michelle LaCombe

Very happy with the repair of the wheel bearings on my Buick Enclave. Called when they said they would, free ride back home with no waiting, final price was close to the estimate, car ready when they said it would be, & now it drives like a dream! Hope I don’t need any more repairs anytime soon but if I do, I know exactly where I’ll go - right here!

Derek Warren

Great service...will have your vehicle repaired in 1-2 days in most cases. Well qualified and experienced technicians. Front desk people are knowledgeable and always a pleasure to deal with

Bill Comee IV

Best auto repair shop in the Clear Lake area. Knowledgeable, professional, honest, with outstanding customer service. They have handled everything from an oil change to an engine swap with excellent results and reasonable costs. Highly recommended.

Karen Clayton

Thanks What a Great Work and Repair on my car . Will recommend yaw to other people. This is the only place I will take my car to be fixed Thank yaw so much.

Drew Maldonado

One of my rear calipers seized . Took the truck in Monday and had all new rear brakes (at my request ) by Tuesday . No complaints and Blake was pretty close to his original quote . Easy breezy. Now time to pull out the camaro and smoke his GT350

Patsy B

Very responsive to my call for help when I was broke down. And they managed to get my battery installed quickly. Professional, friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend them!

Moon Dust

Great place. Friendly folks, efficient and good work with fair pricing. Would do business with again. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks, Gulf Coast Auto Repair team for fixing my car's A/C and faster than expected.

John B.

Gulf Coast has been around for a long time and for good reason. Recently took my (old) truck in for some work and an unexpected problem came up. Rather than try and scare me into an expensive fix like a national chain would do, options on how it could be fixed were discussed with me. We agreed on the cheaper of the fixes due to the age of the vehicle. Problem was solved and truck now runs great. Thank you!

Chris Penrod

Gulf Coast Auto continues to be my auto mechanic of choice. They do a great job of timely and effective auto repair. They look for best way to fix the problem, while also looking to keep costs down. They are very competent and ethical.

Rod Kenas

To whom it may concern: Years ago I was introduced to GCA&TR by my neighbor who told me he'd had his truck serviced there and that he was impressed with their professionalism, courtesy, workmanship, prices, ...etc! This kind of feedback is hard to come by these days, thus I was a bit skeptical. However, since my first visit (yrs ago) I've been back multiple times. I used to do all my own mechanical work on all my vehicles, but I'm a lot older now (tired&retired), ...thus I know how to do things, ...just don't want to anymore! Because I know how to do things makes me very picky about how they're done. These folks are forthright, ...they don't mince words, ...they'll call you about what they find and what it'll take to fix it. They'll even tell you if it doesn't need fixing! Their prices are spot on, they're expedient, ...again, all things unheard of these days! I've had spark plugs & wires replaced to timing belts to fuel pumps to hoses to brakes & rotors to all liquids, front-to-rear! If they can't do what you need done I'd be surprised! Needless to say, I'll be back when I need services that I know they can provide! -rdk.

Thomas Breen

Gulf Coast repair was very accommodating to my schedule, kept constant contact with me regarding the repairs and stayed within the budget. Although I hope not but if I need more work done Gulf Coast is the go to for us, thank you!

Michael Vandermark

Got my truck in quick and serviced it how I asked. I knew what I had them replace my not be the solution to the problem, but it did partially fix it. The gentleman who helped me told me what they would suggest replacing next and apologized for not being able to find the parts locally before I left the area. Great stuff, great quick and fair priced service. I wish I could go back for them to service my truck further.

Joe Sarabok

Been going here for years. Always professional and courteous. Always fixed the first time. Timely service and provide updates. I’ve taken pickup trucks, cars including a Mercedes and an RV and have been totally satisfied with service on all. Highly recommend.

alice hughes

Great service. Friendly staff. Good price for the service I received. No waiting. Would recommend and will use again.

Laurie Hall

I'm very impressed with the quality of service and customer satisfaction here. They helped me investigate a tricky AC issue. Highly recommend!

Laurie Brooks-Crim

I have a 1996 first quarter Mazda Miata original owner. Naturally with age thing go bad. However, I am so very happy I found Gulf Coast. Now I feel as though I will be able to keep my Mia running well for another 22 yrs. This shop has restored my faith in honesty. They do try to save you money and are forthright with whatever the problem is. I appreciate honesty more than anything and these gentlemen foot the bill. Thank-you

Robert Allison

They did a good job on everything they were asked to do however I did not know that they did not grease the front end with a "lube, oil and filter". I'm not sure what the "lube" consists of but I did talk to them and they said they would do it if I brought it back. I hope they change their practice to lubricating a vehicle even if it is more expensive. I lived it when I got home and I checked my Tahoe to see if it had been lubed the last time it was in and there was no sign of it. They will still have my business and in the future I guess I will have to ask for a lube with my lube, oil and filter.

Caleb Schreiber

Great mech shop! Mechs work hard and work quick they want to get your car in and out so they have room in their parking lot so many other cars there too. We brought in without a phone call and they took us right in and finished work in less than a day. Management great and very welcoming. And best part they not overcharge on cost very reasonable. Best bang for your buck!

Stephen Howard

From initial contact on Friday, via their text system, for an appointment on Monday, to driving away on Monday midday with repairs made. We’ve all been to that repair shop where they treat us like we are in their world and at their mercy. These folks were welcoming, friendly and professional. I had a shop like this where I moved from 6 years ago and I think I’ve found myself a new local shop.

Brenton Bond

These guys were able to quickly replace a faulty water pump with a turn around of a few hours for a job I was worried might take a few days. Really appreciate the prompt service, happy to give them my business and refer!

debbie benham

We picked this shop both for the time in business in League City and their A+ BBB rating, which is amazing. One visit and I could see why. Honest, dependable, clean, just a great experience. As a female, I have no doubt they are not trying to lie to me. I would recommend them to anyone. We travel from South Shore/Kemah and pass many other shops with no reservations.

Roger Fernandez

Very helpful with the problem that I have with my truck great place.

Gary Bean

Quick diagnosis. Given all possibilities of repairs that may be needed and a too dollar possible. AC repaired and price was as expected. Also done within a day. Straight shooters and great work.

Margaret De La Vega

They were fair, fast, honest, and the communication was great. I hope I don't have to have repairs done often but when the need arises, I will be using Gulf Coast again.

Jeff Courtney

Many thanks to Frank and his team!! We were visiting the Galveston area and wanted to get the suspension rebuild on our 23 year old VW Westie camper van - along with a bunch of other work. Based upon the previous reviews, I felt comfortable connecting with Gulf Coast. Frank got us scheduled in, clearly communicated the cost estimates and timing. Much to my surprise he came in under his estimate!! While the work was going on he provided updates and discussed options!! Don't know when has ever happened to this extend before. Only wish we lived in the area so we could use his shop again. Would strongly recommend Gulf Coast to others.

Michael Stankovsky

Great place to get your car worked on. They took the time to make sure the repair they were doing was going to solve all of my problems. I will be back for any repair needs.

Paul Q

If you are new to the area or just in need of a trustworthy and experienced group of mechanics in the greater Bacliff / League City area then take me as a perfect example of finding down-right beautiful people & an honest ,hardworking company who will “prove” you right for choosing them to care for your cars. My wife & I moved down from Houston after losing everything in Harvey & we just could not take any more financial hits, so we were recommended to them by several of our friends from the Lions Club & I stand ready to offer these words as proof of my first experience - they are an answer to all of us who NEED one!

Cliff Tudor

Amazing customer service, always friendly and caring, quick to get started on the vehicle. Repairs are done correctly. I have been using their services for many years with multiple vehicles.

Marissa Toscano

I had a great experience with Gulf Coast Auto. They were extremely professional, helpful & they went the extra mile to ensure my car was good to go before returning it to me. I will definitely be back. Thanks again guys!

Robert Little

My car was messed up bad for no real good reason, but these guys were awesome about it, the towed themselves which is much cheaper than anyone else that doesn't, the did a great job communicating and we're very easy to reach out to. Smart guys, good service, and the are good at making the best of a bad situation. 5 star.

O S

Referred by a fried due to work schedule dropped my truck to their parking lot after buss hrs. Next morning received a call from John. Extremely professional, down to the core of the subject no b.s. clearly told me what is wrong with it and give me an estimate even prior to do anything. I already run my OBD-II so I knew what was wrong with the truck and John was honest straight and clear. He called me later and suggest to change another ignition coil abiut to fail, while its in the shop to save another trip. I like the place I like their professionalism and their honesty. I found my mechanic and not going anywhere else anymore. Highly recommended.

Raul Canales Velazquez

Took my 08 evo for A/C service as it took a dump on me. Guys at gulf coast got it up and going at a reasonable price. Turn around time was quick. After picking it up it had intermittent issues with blowing cold air. Gave them a call and they promptly had me bring it back in. They called with updates and got it figured out a few days later. All free of charge. Will definitely be coming back for future repairs.

fabian ibargo

This is an awesome shop. Frank the owner took the time to call me and explain what was being done to my truck. Being that we're in place because of this virus they came by and picked up my truck at no charge. I'm very happy with the job they've done. My f250 feels like a new truck again. Thank you

jeffrey selph

My 07' Sebring has been plagued with san EVAP problem for the last 2 yrs. I had taken it to another local shop to have it diagnosed and repaired. After 3 days of google searches and you tube videos, they couldn't figure out the problem, so they changes some sensors, the gas cap and a purge valve. $389.00. Problem fixed? NO! They said sorry, take it to the dealer. So off to the dealer we go. 5 weeks and $1500.00 later. Problem fixed? NO. 5 days later, CEL again. 2 recomends later, I called Gulf Coast. Spoke to Drake. Told him the problems, and the history, and he said to bring it in and drop it off. He told me what tests they were going to use to find the problem, and how much it would cost. He then told me he would call me early to mid afternoon with test results. 2 1/2 hrs later I get a call from Randy at the shop. He tells me exactly what the test results showed to be the problem and how much it would cost to fix it. It could be fixed by mid to late afternoon. I got a call at 4pm telling me that my car was ready to be picked up. 6 1/2 hrs after I dropped it off, and $342.00 later, Problem Fixed? YES! GULF COAST AUTO AND TRUCK REPAIR far exceeded my expectations on all points. Customer service was exceptional. My only shop from now on.

kris steinkuehler

I have a commercial plumbing company and have been in business 35 years. I am happy to give this 5 Star review to Gulf Coast Auto & Truck. I have used Frank and his staff for at least 30 years on all my cars and trucks, and refer folks to them all of the time.

linda gulley

Bud and I have been using Gulf Coast many years, and have always left very satisfied and confident of the work done. They stand by their work and do it with the ultimate. , courteous way that brings us back each time.

James Jones

I've been here twice now and they've been awesome. Extremely competent, of course, but also I feel like I can trust them in a way I don't feel like I've been able to trust other mechanics in the past. I will likely keep coming here with any car troubles as long as I live in this area.

i am groot

Been going there for years and will continue to go there. The guys are awesome. They are honest and fair and explain in detail the service being performed. Just a great place to take your vehicle to be worked on.

Netta Rapuano

We had a work truck break down in the vicinity of this shop and just brought it because of location and convenience. They jumped right in it and had us out the door that day. And it wasn't just a little repair. It had to do with the truck's AWD. I felt like they were honest, responsive, and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Ann Hill

We have used Gulf Coast Auto & Truck repair for AC repairs on two vehicles. We are pleased with the repairs and speed at which the shop gets their work done.

Victoria Rudy

I have never left an auto repair shop so happy! Great quality work, fast service, friendly and honest workers, great pricing. Does it get better than that? I will never go to the dealer for repairs again after such a great experience!

Trent C

I brought my car in to have the rear wheel bearings changed in my 2013 Nissan Altima. The service was fast, they are reasonably priced, and they are honest. In the future, I will be taking my vehicles back to Gulf Coast.

Robert Jensen

They may be booked to get your done in a little over a week, however they have the best professional mechanical technicians in the Houston area that get it done right. And they won't charge an arm and a leg. Great place!

DR III

I’ve been using GCATR for a couple of decades now and my experience is that they have much integrity and know how. I’m an experienced mechanic and prefer to do most of my own work but when I can’t or don’t want to do it myself I take it to them. Never have I felt that GCATR was deceiving me or didn’t know what they were doing. Hats off to Frank and the crew for another job well done.

Rebecca Miranda

Very professional and honest folks, quality work, both times I have taken my car in it was ready that same day, if you want quality work done, and done right the first time, then this is definitely the place to take your car! No complaints here

stephen manes

I had my f 150 in here a couple of weeks ago to repair a battery cable issue ,that was a very poor design by ford .normally the repair would call for replacing the very expensive and sh#ty battery cable harness with same original harness. These guys recommend a different option that none of the other shops in the area did .that saved me a TON O F MONEY and its better than the original design. These guys were more concerned about giving me a better option than the original expensive and crappy parts than making more money from the job.

Melanie Simon

Been going to Gulf Coast Auto since moving here two years ago. Find the employees to be helpful and knowledgeable. They explain everything in detail and offer recommendations and referrals to other places if needed. I highly recommend.

Chris Taylor

Text updates that kept me info about their progress.

Miguel Suderman

I have used Gulf Coast Auto & Truck since 1998 without any significant problems. When they give their opinion on needed & future automobile repairs, I have over the years come to trust their suggestions.

Jacqueline Marlow

I had a great experience with Gulf Coast Auto - the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and their work on my car was satisfactory. Highly recommend!

Korlia Vivarin

Car: VW 02 GTI I've been here for actual work 3 times, shift cables, shift bushing, axle with boot, tie rods, and axle bushings. IIRC. And each time I've had fantastic service by everyone I speak to. I've always been notified of the cost of the repair (estimate) prior to the repair, great updates during, and it's a good feeling of knowing you won't be left in the dark.

Cave Man Customs

Took a company truck to get alignment. They were done in an hour. Driver is very happy with the results. Great service too. Frank is on top of things. Thanks Gulf Coast.

David Jackson

Completed a professional job. Frank, delivers as promised. Back again and another great job was completed.

adam arriaga

I have a Ram diesel truck. I am a first time customer. Took it in for an oil leak and engine light on. As soon as I walked in not 1 but 2 guys were listening to me ready to help. They called me the next day early morning with a solution to the problem. The guy on the phone was respectful and professional. I will be doing business with them in the future.

Charlie Beckworth

This place and the staff are top notch all the way!!! I have used them for anything from repairs to upgrade installs and advice. Fair, honest and keep you informed every step of the way. Highly recommend for all automotive needs! 👍🏻 …

Mimi Sterling

We have used Gulf Coast for some time now for our business trucks and our personal cars. They are always on time with their work, give a good reasonable estimate, and remain professional but friendly.

Stuart Becka

Best shop experience ever! I had new JBA long tube headers and catted bpipes from cajun bpipes installed and it went flawlessly! Frank and Randy were more than accommodating and offered me a ride back to my house, their shop was clean and orderly, the estimate they gave me was spot on and the estimate did not grow in price. Also their shop was actually open before their set hours, no waiting at all! The work they performed was top notch in quality and my truck never sounded so good! I recommend this shop to all and will be using them for my future needs

Ron Aagesen

I have used them a few times and each time service is excellent. Quickly they diagnois the problem and let me know what needs to be done and a price. Once they are notified to go ahead they are quick with he repairs and also keep you informed.

Lenda Rathwell

I needed A/C work done unfortunately it was the part that was costly. I put my trust in Frank and crew I’m glad I did. They took care of my AC in a timely manner. Glad to have cool air.

Tyler Voss

Just plain awesome!! They were completely honest and knew what needed to be fixee vs running my bill up fixing other "issues" before finally fixing the problem i came in for. Im certain i saved money and time by using gulf coast, i was in and out in the same day and will def use them from here out.

Susan Copper

This is my "go to" shop for repair. My 20-year-old Toyota sometimes need a maximum amount of babying, and there's no one I'd trust with it's continued care except the guys at GCA&T. In the years that we've done business together, their service has been the very definition of professional, courteous, honest, and efficient, and absolutely nothing is more important to a single woman with an older car. These guys have my highest recommendation!

Saritha Nair

My car had some minor issues. Blake took care of them and they didn't even charge anything. Extremely nice and friendly people. I would definitely recommend them!

Octaplus 76

Quick and professional service. Detailed invoice shows all work done. Will make Gulf Coast the go-to garage for vehicle repairs.

Monte B

Professional shop. Quick service and honest

Amy Meyer

Randy was extremely professional, courteous and explained everything in perfect detail. The vehicle was handled in a timely manner. Rates were average for the area.

carol stuart

Found this shop on line bc of great reviews- and I completely agree, brought Audi car in ,Frank said he would acfess and get back next day early- he did this and he was kind to say we needed to use a dealership for our fix bc of type of fix we had- we would easily!! use again for our others cars- honest & excellent

Rusty Heinrich

I went to this shop because of the ratings & reviews and I was not disappointed!!! Very fairly priced and service was great. They had the repairs completed within a day. I will be using Gulf Coast Auto from here on out!!!

Gulf coast performed emergency repairs for me. I was amazed by their professional way of doing business. Although they are 40 miles from my home I will use them again and again.

Scott D. Livingston

Finished quickly without any hassle. The were able to quickly identify and fix the problem. I have taken both of my vehicles to them over the last couple of years, and they have always done a good job.

alfio Rozzi

This shop is clean and people are knowledgeable and explain everything in detail. This inspires confidence and trust that the work you ask for will get done right. I have returned various times because they are a good value.

Rick Richter

I was expecting a big repair on an older (20 years) vehicle with high miles—not the case! These guys took the time to seriously look at it & determine the actual problem. Most shops would have just said “Yeah, you need a new (insert expensive part here)!” This my new go-to car repair place.

Pedro Templos

I dropped off my truck Thursday morning to have it looked at on a lot of oil leaks that it had. Got a call 4 hours later giving me an estimate of what needed to be done and how much. The next day by noon i got a call that truck had been repaired by 11am but they were driving it around to check and make sure their work had covered all oil leaks. I picked it up by 4 pm

Chris Allen

My car wouldn’t pass state inspection. Randy and his crew made the necessary repairs to the emissions system and I got my new inspection sticker yesterday.

John Johnson

Frank and Blake did a great job with my Dodge Challenger RT. They did the job in the quickest time possible and order the parts I need to finish the repair on my front end. Great job guys.

Garrett McCallum

Very knowledgeable and respectful. Vey good communication with me letting me know certain steps I had to take and informing me when there was a very minor problem. Treated me and my wife great on the phone. Easy payment and easy pick up.

miroslaw sek

I dropped my Santa Fe with not working A/C. After an hour manager called and said that there is noting wrong with A/C. They did not charge me for checking. They could pull me on money but they didn't. Honest people 👍A/C works fine since. …

Jared Mcgrath

Great shop, good people. Always upfront about costs and time required. I wholeheartedly trust them taking care of my truck.

Java Toomey

We have attempted for 10 years to find a reliable, trustworthy, clean and communicative auto repair service provider. The laughably utopian elusive search is the talk of finding GOLD at The End of a Rainbow by descendants of Irish and Native American Ancestry. .... TREASURE Found GCATR exceeds our most subtle expectations.... We came to believe the Corvette Air Conditioner was just not a feature of COLD reliablility and comfort... We were WRONG !!! Randy, Frank and Company solved the problem -- communicated the challenges easily understood, and returned a Polar Ice Capsule in 2 days for less $$$ money than they estimated ... Don't ignore this TRUE Testimony !

Justo Gonzalez

Honest, professional and reasonable cost shop. Second time I used this shop for major repairs. Excelente response and communication. Repairs done with great quality. Thanks Randy for your excellent and professional service.

Randy kept me informed of the issues pertaining parts and labor. I have used this auto repair before and was very pleased. I will continue to use them..Great place!

Always honest, friendly and upfront service. Never do anything that is truely unnecessary, look at your vehicle to diagnose problem then contact you to discuss your options. Doesn't take advantage to get you to pay more. Recommend to anyone for anything car related.

Jennifer Nichols

After taking my Range Rover to the closest 1 of 3 dealers in Houston and had them go front to back to inspect it, not a week later, The "BRAKE" light went on on my dash and living in Friendswood, I didn't want to make that trek all the way back. After researching a bit, I found that Gulf Coast Auto was the ONLY place in my area that is OEM certified to work on them. Dropped it off early this morning and it was done a littel after lunchtime. I'm so excited that I have a place close to home to go to and not rely on driving SOOOOOOO FAR. Thank you!!!!
