I had a great experience with this mechanic shop from the moment I dropped off my car. The customer service was excellent, and everyone I spoke with was knowledgeable, professional, and very informative. Mr. James kept me informed every step of the way, which I really appreciated. He took the time to explain what was going on with my vehicle and made sure I understood everything instead of leaving me guessing. It’s not always easy to find a mechanic you feel comfortable trusting, but their communication and professionalism definitely made a great first impression. I truly appreciated how I was treated and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for quality service, knowledgeable staff, and honest communication.

Thank you so much, Atavia. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. James does a great job keeping customers informed and making sure they understand what is going on with their vehicle. Clear communication is important to all of us here at Pete’s, and we’re glad you felt well taken care of from start to finish. Thank you for trusting our crew with your car and for the recommendation.

Came in to have TPMS sensors programmed on the new wheels I had put on my truck. Without missing a beat was told let’s see if we can just program them and if we can no charge. Well Auston the Technician spent about 20 minutes not only programming my sensors but also took the time to check and make sure all my tires were at the correct pressures. I still went back up front to ask again what I owed and was told not a thing. These guys were more concerned with making a customer happy than making a buck. Definitely recommend for all there services!

Rob, thank you for taking the time to share this. Austin is a great example of the kind of care we want every customer to receive. We are glad he was able to get your TPMS sensors programmed, check your tire pressures, and get you back on the road. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in our team.

Took my vehicle in to have a leaking tire repaired. I was greeted by Cody who was very friendly and professional. He let me know that it would be about 20-30 minutes before they could get to it (it was just after Monday after the July 4th holiday weekend) which was fine. I appreciated him letting me know. They had it repaired and ready in right at 30 minutes. Great job and great service!

Thank you for taking the time to share this. We know the Monday after a holiday weekend can be busy, so we are glad Cody kept you informed and our crew was able to repair your tire within the estimated time. We truly appreciate your trust and your kind words about our service.

I want to start by saying that this will likely be the best one-star review I've ever given, and I would consider using Pete's Automotive again. However, I feel compelled to explain why I'm giving them a one-star rating instead of five. I took my truck in for front-end work and four brand new tires. They did an excellent job on the front end, but I ran into issues with the tire balance. When I noticed a slight vibration after picking up my truck, I returned to let them know. Although the service manager, whom I really like, instructed them to re-balance my tires, it seemed like they were hesitant to address the issue thoroughly. When I picked up my truck, they hadn't actually looked at the tire balance. Instead, I received vague explanations about why they couldn't check it. Frustrated, I took my truck to a tire shop, where I found out that the second tire they pulled off needed a significant amount of weight. The technician even mentioned that the weights probably fell off, as there was no way they could have missed that during the initial balancing. Now, my truck drives perfectly after the rebalancing, but I ended up spending an additional $60 and my time that I shouldn't have had to if the technician had just balanced my tires correctly in the 2nd time. So while the front-end work was done well and my problem is fixed now, the inconvenience was disappointing. Will I use them again? Yes, but I’ll definitely be paying closer attention to the repairs next time.

Oscar, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're glad to hear the front end work met your expectations and that your truck is now driving the way it should. We also appreciate your kind words about our service manager. At the same time, we're sorry to hear you were frustrated by the process surrounding the tire balance concern. We understand how disappointing it can be to spend additional time and money trying to resolve an issue after a repair. Because we were not able to inspect the vehicle after the work performed by the tire shop, we can't say with certainty what caused the vibration or what they found during their inspection. However, we take feedback like this seriously and will be sharing your review with our team so we can discuss the experience and look for ways to improve our communication and service process moving forward. We appreciate your honest feedback and are grateful that you'd consider giving us another opportunity in the future. Thank you for trusting us with your vehicle.

Very expensive..😱 they try to charge me almost $1,500 for something that I pay $500 the very sad part was when they charge in full for something that they don't complete to fix now I have to go back and I'm very sure they will charge me again for the same amount for the same shit that they supposedly fix on the first time like 2 weeks ago

Hi Johnny, We're sorry to hear you're frustrated. At Pete's Automotive, we stand behind our work, and if a repair we performed did not resolve the concern, we want the opportunity to make it right. Please bring your vehicle back in, and we will inspect the issue without charging you again for the same repair if that is indeed the case. I also want to personally look into the details of your experience when the shop opens tomorrow so I can better understand what happened. Once I've reviewed the repair history, we'll follow up with you directly. Please give us a call at your convenience. We appreciate the chance to address your concerns and earn back your trust. Pete's Automotive Team Update: Hi Johnny, I wanted to follow up after looking into this further. We were unable to locate a recent repair under the name Johnny Rodriguez in our system, so we may have your information listed under a different name, phone number, or vehicle. We take concerns like yours seriously and would genuinely like the opportunity to review what happened. If a repair we performed did not resolve the original concern, we want to know about it and work toward a fair resolution. Please give us a call or stop by the shop with your vehicle information so we can locate your repair history and discuss it with you directly. We are committed to standing behind our work and making sure we have all the facts before drawing conclusions. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Pete's Automotive Team

Thank you Skylet for the 5-star review.

Today I had one of those experiences when you just know that you cross paths with certain people for a reason. Gary was that person for me today. I was traveling from Kansas to Temple, Texas, and pulling a gooseneck for the first time with an over weight load. Kept dealing with straps breaking and tires blowing out and soon I found myself barely limping from tire shop to tire shop in Waxahachie from 5:30 AM till about 9 AM.. I had just drove through about a two hour hail core of a storm in Dallas and I have my nine-year-old son with me. We were both over it at this point every tire shop turned us away, saying that they didn’t have a jack big enough to lift our load. I’m defeated and ready to just give up. Cary didn’t know it, but I was sitting in the frosty crying my eyes out feeling defeated as ever, but he looked at my problem and told me he was gonna take care of it and he did. And not only did he get us back on the road, but he also talked to me and gave me helpful pointers on hauling bigger loads and tire care. That’s a kind man and good man and your shop is very lucky to have him. See less

These guys took care of me when I was in desperate need. I was traveling to my next gig and broke down outside of town. They worked with me to get me back on the road, which is my lifeline. I travel for work and not having my car would be devastating. They worked with my budget and and I'm so grateful for them. Not only did they get my car running again, I got an oil change as well. I would recommend this place anyone. There's guys are awesome and will take care of both you and your vehicle. Shoutout to Steve and Cody especially for great communication and solid work.

Dedra, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review. We know how stressful it can be to break down while traveling, especially when your vehicle is tied directly to your livelihood. We’re really glad Steve and Cody were able to help get you back on the road quickly and work within your budget. Our team believes communication matters just as much as the repair itself, so it means a lot to hear that you felt taken care of throughout the process. We truly appreciate your trust in us and your recommendation. Safe travels to your next gig, and if you’re ever back through Waxahachie, we’ll be here for you.

I can’t say enough good things about Pete’s! After taking my jeep to the dealer ship THREE separate times only to get it back and the check engine light would come on the next day for the exact issues they claimed to fix, I took it to Pete’s. Cody and his team were phenomenal! Cody had my car back to new within days and he kept me in the loop the entire time. Hands down the best mechanic shop I’ve worked with! They will have all my future business when it comes to anything vehicle related!

Josey, thank you for taking the time to share this. We know how frustrating it can be to deal with the same issue over and over, and it means a lot that you trusted Cody and the team to take another look. We're really glad they were able to get everything sorted out for you and keep you updated along the way. That kind of communication and follow through is exactly what we aim for. We appreciate your trust in us and look forward to being here whenever you need anything down the road.

Cody was upfront with everything that it needed to be with my truck I appreciate the honesty and the Integrity of these men that worked on my truck. One of the reasons I went there is my wife needed a windshield wiper put on the back of her car that O'Reilly's couldn't do and they just jumped in put the windshield wiper on and said ma'am have a nice day

Laura and Michael, thank you for taking the time to share this. It means a lot to our team. We believe being upfront and honest is the only way to do this kind of work, so hearing that from you really matters. Cody and the crew take a lot of pride in treating people right, not just fixing vehicles. I am especially glad we could help with the small things too. Sometimes it is as simple as a wiper, but taking care of people in those moments is just as important to us. We appreciate your trust and look forward to helping you anytime you need us.

Chad was great. He answered all my Questions. Sent pictures of all the repairs needed. Even though my insurance was difficult he was nice and submitted all the paperwork they requested to include submitting 2 times on my behalf. He sent me an estimate before he started any repairs. Cody also assisted in getting my car towed to his shop. He would take time to explain to me what was needed in simple language I could understand. Petes works with insurance and extended service companies. Chad was very professional even though he had the claim from hell. I would give him 5 star review and recommend Chad and Pete’s Automotve

Thank you so much, Terri. This means a lot to our team. Chad works hard to make sure every customer feels informed and taken care of, even when things get complicated, so your kind words about his patience and professionalism really matter. We’re also glad Cody was able to help get your vehicle to us and walk you through everything in a clear way.

My wife Picked up 10 roofing nails on IH35 in her car and I needed two new tires, an inspection , and an alignment on my car. Right at $500 for all that, in the same day! Concierge service for FREE on top of that. Come on, where else is that going to happen?

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Worse place!took my truck to get my turbo charger charged and now im here at the dealership and according to them its not on them.i highly don’t recommend this place

Hello Martin, We do remember your visit. You brought in your own turbo and requested that we install it without running a diagnostic, as you mentioned the dealership had already identified the issue. Although your check engine light was on, you were clear that you only wanted the turbo installed. We completed the work as requested. As we discussed, if there is any concern related to our installation, you are absolutely welcome to bring the truck back and we will inspect our work. We stand behind what we do and are always willing to correct anything that falls within our responsibility. Please feel free to contact us so we can take a closer look.

Fast & Affordable Oil Change – Highly Recommend! I had a great experience getting my oil change done here. The service was fast, professional, and reasonably priced. The staff explained everything clearly and didn’t try to upsell unnecessary services, which I really appreciated. My vehicle was serviced quickly, and I was back on the road in no time. If you’re looking for a reliable oil change in Waxahachie, Texas this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back for future maintenance!

Thank you so much for the great review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Fast, honest service is exactly what we aim for every day. An oil change should be straightforward, affordable, and never come with pressure. We are glad our team made that clear and got you back on the road quickly. We look forward to taking care of you again next time you are in.

Always good at Pete’s. They do it right the first time. They also don’t leave grease on my door handles when they’re done. That counts for a lot. I will always recommend these guys.

Jason, this one made our day. Doing it right the first time is always the goal, and we’re glad you notice the little things too. A clean car when it leaves matters just as much as the repair itself. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in us. It means a lot that you keep choosing Pete’s.

Outstanding and quick!!! Truck overheated and lost all my coolant on the way to work. Was able to pull in at 11a, they determined my water pump decided to call it quits and off they went. For a last minute walk in and being later in the day, they pulled it off! I was up and out of there the same day. Plus, free popcorn 🍿 Thank you guys for getting me back on the road. Definitely recommend to family, friends and everyone who needs quality work done.

Thank you, Prudencio, for the kind words and for trusting Pete’s Automotive with your truck. We know how stressful a breakdown like that can be, especially in the middle of a workday. Our team was glad we could diagnose the water pump issue quickly and get you back on the road the same day. We appreciate the recommendation and hope the popcorn helped a little too.

Fair pricing. Immediatly repaired coolant rupture that occurred during alignment at fair price. Even found answer to a cab light problem that no one else could find. Set me up for self repair at no cost.

Pat, thank you for sharing this. We appreciate you recognizing the fair pricing and quick turnaround.
