Didn t end up getting any work done, but Alex was really nice, helpful, and honest over the phone. Great experience in my brief interaction with him.

I came in a few months ago because I had a check engine light on and couldn t pass inspection. Was told that it had something to do with emissions and that they would fix it for $300. After driving to cycle through the emissions check, the check engine light came back on. Brought it back and it happened again. After that I went to YouTube and ended up fixing the problem myself for $40. It seems like this shop doesn t actually diagnose issues but just throws parts at problems and hopes to land on a fix. They might get lucky and fix your problem or they might not. I would recommend you search elsewhere for someone that is going to take the time to do the job right the first time.Service: Auto emissions testing

I paid for new parts, and it seems like what the put was more of the same parts it had. Had to keep coming in for the same issue. I verified with someone else, and the "new parts" looked like they had been used for a while... only had them on for one day, and after one day they were looking like I had them on for months.... I'm talking about break pads and the break disc's. It's not safe plus I ended up paying them about 1,000. Never coming here again. I had to get them replaced somewhere else.

Overpriced and told me that it might not even be the actual issue. So it's a "let's try this" type of deal*Update* I was told the waterpump "could" be the issue, (they were not sure) and they wanted close to 700 dollars to do it (parts and labor). I watched a video on YouTube and did it for the $125 it costed plus a jug of coolant $20. Saved big time just doing it myself and the fact that it wasn't even the problem is the main reason I wouldn't go here ever again. $65 for the "so-called" diagnosis.

March 16th 2023 Thursday I was at Dave and busters around noon enjoying a couple hours w my grandson during spring break. We left Dave and busters and jumped in my 2014 Toyota Tacoma to start it and when It started it sounded like a racing car it was loud. They stole my catalytic converter from my truck. I immediately drove it slowly to 4Land A and they gave me a fair estimate. I'm familiar w cars and maintaining and I grew up around cars and parts industry so I'm aware of all that goes with upkeep on cars etc... anyways Alex Jose and Jesus were very friendly and they know about the mechanic business. I feel they treat people fairly and they were all very friendly. I took my vehicle in Thursday afternoon and picked it up Saturday a.m. I was so relieved that my truck was fixed correctly and i wasnt taken advantage of! Alex Jose And Jesus and the lady I don't know her name but I'm sure she was part of the crew there. I just want to thank you all for a great job on my truck and for being fair. My truck runs better now than it did before w a new direct fit catalytic converter and new sensors... may you all continued to be blessed

I've been to 4L and A Auto Repair twice so far this year: once for a wheel issue and another time for an A/C diag and repair. The team is friendly and knowledgable, and their prices are very fair. They had my car in-and-out within an hour today. I'll be coming back for a rear axle replacement soon but wanted to give the team a shout-out. Thanks, y'all!Service: Auto maintenance

These guys are fantastic! For almost 30 years now they've been taking care of my cars. Their hourly labor rate is still really low. I still do all my repairs with them even though I moved almost 10 miles away. They take excellent care of me. They also give fair deals on used cars in good running condition.

So very grateful for Jose and his staff/business at 4L&A Auto Repair!! I have taken all of my vehicles to him for almost 10 years and now drive from Huntsville to Houston because the service is really worth it. Jose is super friendly, extremely trustworthy, and beyond reasonably priced. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!

I used them many times but this last time will be the last. My vehicle was turning off at stop signs and lights or anytime I had to slow down, I mentioned to them that if the problem was not to much money then I would fix something else that would not go over my budget but they took it upon themselves to fix something else that could've waited and they never fixed the problem. When driving home my vehicle continued to turn off so I called the next day I was told they didn't fix that problem because someone test drived it and it didn't turn off on them and that someone had called to let me know about what was going on but i didn't get a call or message from anyone, I payed $506 to them but thank god i found a mechanic who fixed the problem for $200.

I've allowed this shop to work on my cars for the past 6 years. My mother needed work done on her SUV, and they were timely and cost effective. My best friend also has had his vehicle serviced here since 2012. Highly recommend.

I was first referred to Four L&A by a friend, and I have referred others to them. They are high quality, knowledgeable, prompt, and courteous mechanics. I would refer anybody to them because I trust my car to them. They even let me borrow one of their cars one time when I had to leave my vehicle overnight. They re outstanding!

Every time we have taken a vehicle here (About 5 different occasions) we ve had to return because things weren t fixed correctly about 3 outta those 5 times. Very inconvenient and annoying. We will not be using these folks again.

Came here some months ago to get a diagnostic on my vehicle. They changed my oil and gave me an estimate on what needed fixing here I am months later getting my car fixed. They have a waiting room are very kind people. Will definitely be returning for anything needed in the future.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change

I highly suggest not coming here, especially for any major repairs. They initially quoted me about $500, following 3 more phone calls throughout the week totaling to 3 MORE parts needing repair that they "initially didn't catch." The price kept increasing with each phone call that I would receive. Totaling about another $500 over my ORIGINAL quote. I started getting skeptical about where their shopping for parts and such, so I asked about a part and where they were shopping for it? I was told O'Reilly...which all Mom and Pop car shops I've gone to usually go for used parts at junkyards and others connections they have...instead of a major retailer. After receiving my third phone call for ANOTHER part needing repair after they already said my car was ready, I did some research. I Googled the part and shopped to see how much the prices are online. I got a price online for the entire part of about $50. They quoted me almost $300 for this extra part AND labor! Very unprofessional, I trusted them with my car and got ripped off.

I knew what was wrong with my car as my bf is a auto mechanic owner in Boston. So I send him photos of problem. He told me exactly what I needed and how much a honest shop would charge. I went, no appointment, to 4 l and a .I was met by kind reception women. I was told within 15 mins the problem and the problem and price was exactly what my bf told me he hit it on the nose with cost and parts nothing more nothing less. I was very grateful I now have an honest shop I can do business with. All single women who don't wanna get jerked by shady shops should go with this one. And they said work would take an hour and a half but we're done in one hour. Great shop!!!

I came in bc I had to borrow my friends SUV to move some furniture I bought bc I could not fit it in my Infiniti. Her ac was out and me, my dog, and my friend started dying from the heat around 8am today when the sun started to come up. So I decided to stop here while driving past the shop were I was greeted by a very understanding and friendly man eager to help me. He let me my dog and my friend soak up some air conditioning in the lobby also while we waited which was going above and beyond seeing as how I have a 90lb pit bull that people normally treat like a walking Coronavirus LOL anyways.... Last but definitely NOT least!! When it came to the actual repairs for the vehicle not only did they fix my vehicle quickly and with excellent customer service but they are very affordable!!!! I just wanted to give them this review and my future business for their all around excellent work & customer service!! This place is almost too good to be true lol like I actually found the treasure at the end of the rainbow.

This has been our mechanic of choice since 2002. We have referred many friends that have been happy with not only the quality of work but the price also. When we moved an hour away it was still worth the drive to come to Jose. Now we are 5 hrs away, believe me when I say depending on what is wrong with our vehicle we would take a weekend out if needed. We trust Jose that much!

This place will give u a price over the phone and when u get there they take your car apart and go up on the price then tell you that if u dont pay full price they won't put your car back together. They will steal your money and the lady in the front is rude as can be, pretends to be nice but really is the total opposite and she doesn't know what she's doing most of the time will order the wrong part for you. Do not recommend this place at all.

Buyer beware. Uses defective or used parts but charges new part prices. I had to have an alternator,powering steering pump and timing belt(3 times) replaced shortly after the repair work. I spent THOUSANDS of dollars at this shop over the course of 2 years. Lesson learned!!!Update 6/6/16: After timing chain broke AGAIN my engine was ruined!! Had to spend $1800 to replace due to this shop's negligence!!
