Tc Auto Service Inc

This shop upcharges like no ones business. They make guesses, and usually expensive ones, as to what could be wrong with your car and then charge astronomical rates to go on their hunches. I made the mistake of taking my car there twice, wracking up 2k+ in bills. Only to find out when I took it to another mechanic in corpus, that half of the stuff they «fixed» didn’t need to be fixed. I also told them everything TC had done and the mechanic informed me that it shouldn’t have even cost half of what they charged me. This shop does good work when they actually do fix something that truly needs to be fixed, but their complete disregard for honesty and integrity, their deceitfulness, and their thief like mentality makes it an obvious 1 star. I wish I could rate it lower than that.

I was recommended here by what I would say is the best transmission shop in Corpus Christi Ace Transmission I specifically told them not to change a particular part in my car I already knew that that would not fix the problem they changed that part anyway to the tune of about $ 900.The car had the exact same problem It had when I brought it to them, they did offer to look at it again free of charge but when I came to pick it up they told me what they would have to do was going to be about another $ 800 needless to say I just took my car back home found another mechanic to put in the part that I thought we needed in the first place and my car runs fine now cost me another $ 250

We’ve had the misfortune and pleasure to have needed our vehicle repaired 3 times and used TC Auto Service. Before then, we’d been taking it to the dealer (yeah, I know, we live and learn).
If I had to base my rating on the «first impression» of the staff there, this score might’ve been one notch lower. They’re kind of to-​the-​point kind of people. You explain the problem, they take your keys, off you go for a while.
Okay, that said, HERE’s why the 5-​star. After our experiences with dealership repairs and almost EVERY return comes away at LEAST $ 500 poorer, we were thrilled get a respectable bill from TC Auto; one I wouldn’t have a second thought or rebuttal about paying.
The OTHER reason this gets a 5-​star is, not 48 hours after that first visit, we got a postcard in the mail with a «Thank You» note from TC Auto thanking us for our business! Now, what other auto repair place does that? That, to me, is pure class. It may have been a ‘tactic’ to bring repeat business and I’m here to tell you IT WORKS!
We’ve been back each time our vehicle needs service, and EACH time we’ve come away very pleased with the result and the price. And here’s a prime example: Our vehicle (which we will NEVER own another one) has headlights that you would think would be easily changeable, like any other car on the road. Oh no. To replace the headlight, you have to take the front nose OFF of the vehicle to access where the plug is.
The first time we did had this done was at the dealer — cost of $ 130. The next time, we took it to TC Auto…$ 26.00. Ya think I’m gonna go back???
Thanks guys! You have a definite fan out there.
