I had my Tesla Model Y serviced here to replace a lateral link and lower control arm, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Both Gator and Dallas... read more were fantastic ,very knowledgeable, honest, and patient with all my questions. Their consultation was clear, pricing was fair, and the communication throughout the repair was great. The work was done professionally and my car drives perfectly now. It’s hard to find a shop for EV suspension work, but these guys really delivered. Highly recommend Hometown Auto for anyone looking for solid service and great customer care! Thank God now I have a shop I can trust.

I had an excellent experience here! Dallas provided excellent customer service — everyone was friendly, professional, and really went above and beyond to help me out. They got my car... read more in quickly and had it fixed within just a few hours. It’s so nice to find a repair shop that’s both efficient and trustworthy. I was also very impressed by the system they use to send the quote, bill, and any updates. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending them to others.

When I say "we cannot say enough about Hometown Motors," I'm not just dumping a platitude here for a review. We called Hometown Motors after searching unsuccessfully for ages for... read more a repair shop that could fix a diesel pickup truck. Not only were they the ONLY one close to us that could do it, they had the truck towed to their shop for us with a company they use. (One less call I had to make.) I'm not going to go into the laundry list of issues this truck had, but suffice to say that the guys at Hometown Motors had their work cut out for them in chasing down what was going to get this piece of supurb machinery running again. From beginning to long-suffering end, Ray was an absolute champ at keeping us up to date on what was happening and coordinating everything. I never got to meet Jim, the mechanic that did the work, but he's a Hometown Hero in my book. No kidding, a few weeks later, we needed brakes and even more crap done to that truck-- and they let us come back! Really, we are so thankful for everyone at Hometown Motors. They're our guys for both our cars, and definitely for the one that replaces one of those!

It is so hard to find a really good mechanic. Someone that explains what the problem is. Ray would go through what will be done with a decent price. Jim... read more is a reliable car mechanic. I first came in with coolant leaking. He fixed that. Then my front-end was making noise so he replced the double fan. It's riding much better! I don't usally write reviews but I did because Ray and Jim are worth it. I finally found a good car repair company 🙂
