Medina Mechanic Shop - Baytown (TX)

5 /5 jtaylor2615: I’ve been going here for years and this is the only place I will take my vehicle. This is the first honest mechanic I’ve dealt with. He fixes what needs fixed and doesn’t try to talk you into a bunch of service that isn’t needed. Fair priced and I never had any issues with the work he has done.

1 /5 josh bermudez: I did not have a good experience with this shop…. I was extremely overcharged for the parts and service not the mention he started the repairs without notifying me beforehand . After 1000$ dollars and getting my car back the issue was not only not fixed but actually much louder and much worse..the son of the owner told me it was safe to drive as I travel for work and I was out of money so couldn’t have more work done to it. After a two hour drive the transmission started to show signs of significant damage and when I called him he was being short and seemed annoyed and stated that it wasn’t his fault but that he had already been looking for a transmission for my car…. Leaving me to believe that be purposely hadn’t told me it was the transmission that needed fixing from the beginning. He did repairs for the engine mounts and told me the parts were 300 which was untrue and couldn’t show me receipts and almost 700$ for labor! I believe he knew the transmission was going bad and made unnecessary repairs to basically scam me out of more money. After the 1000$ Repair I couldn’t afford a transmission which cost me my job. To be clear I believe the the actual owner of this shop is very honest and that he doesn’t conduct business the was his son did with me. Also the car started leaking coolant and oil which I believe was from the transmission which it never leaked fluids before. And when I looked for the cause of the coolant leak It was poorly fixed with some sort of silicone which also wasn’t like that before. Take your car somewhere else

5 /5 Santiago Fernandez: This a very great family owned business. They are so cheap on their labor price but do a wonderful job on your vehicles. They will not tell you something is wrong unless it really is. Ive been using them for years and Im never disappointed. I recommend them to anyone!

3 /5 Manuel Serratos: The staff is very nice and give you plenty of explanations about your car and what they do. Moreover, they well encourage you to buy your own car pieces so that you make sure you are indeed paying the best possible prices and purchasing the best items for your own situation. Many times you can get refunds back when purchasing car parts. Now, my issue was an oil leak. They charged me about $650 to repair it, but my car was found out to be dripping when I took it to oil change. They mustve done something for sure since my car ran almost 3000 miles all fine and when I sold the car the dealership acknowledged other service theyve done for me. A lot of the ~$650 fee was in labor, just like other works I had them do because their explanations sometimes also involve suggesting additional works. Thus, I wouldnt call them cheap. But you must watch out for all other mechanic shops in Baytown, most of their reviews look suspicious, a problem that has been spreading a lot over time. If going farther is a problem for you Medinas may still be the best option.

5 /5 Garrett Koep: Great place with fair prices. Meinekes minimum price is $55 for half an hour. These guys helped me fix a small suspension issue ( took 15 minutes) and charged me $10. They do everything! He was doing an engine rebuild on an Audi S4, head gasket on a Honda Prelude and a couple more cars in process. Fair, honest and fast!
