Orcutt Automotive - Corpus Christi (TX)

Luke B This is the place to go! The owner is transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely takes concern for your situation. I broke down on my way home with 2 little girls in the car. I did not get my vehicle to him until Friday afternoon and in the same day he had diagnosed, bought parts, repaired, and picked me up to get me back on my way home. If I lived in the area, this is the only mechanic I would be using. 10/10

Rudy Norman is remarkable. Not only as a mechanic, but an owner as well. The same is to be said of the entire crew working there. For as long as hes been in the business of repairing automobiles of all types and phases, I wish that we had met 30 years earlier so as to have saved a lot of time and had my money well spent. This place does it right in meeting my expectations without discussion of diagnosing, repairing, and the turnaround time like that of a pit crew... Nuff said..!

Sarah Tessier We had a new AC installed just a compressor. It was not blown cold. We took our Car to Island tire. They promptly diagnose the problem. It had multiple problems. My wife also had to work in the evening. They let me have my car back each night for my wife. They worked around our schedule. My ac is blowing cold. .They were fantastic as usual.Well worth the peace of mind knowing its done right

Sharlie Phillips Carmony has been taking care of our family for years! Honest and reliable family owned business—we don’t trust our vehicles with anyone else!

Ariel Bueno-Cortinas My husband and I are returning customers for over 5 years. We absolutely love the customer service provided and Dario is 100% one the most hardworking auto mechanics I have ever met. His prices are more than fair, he does an amazing job every time, and he is such an honest man. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Gloria Dunn OMG! LIFESAVER! GREAT SERVICE! Very knowledgeable! We are up and running!

Frances Arnett My hubby, David, says it is running great!! It has not missed a stroke. He told me its running almost as like when we first bought it in 2006!! But, its a Ram 3500 diesel truck Work Horse thats not failed us until now!! And, its a must on our farm that we need to haul all our trailers!! We very much appreciate the work done on it there at Bay Auto!! Were passing along our approval of your work and recommending your shop to anyone needing automotive care!!! Thank you for your post check up on our truck.

Angela Chaudoin Weve taken two vehicles to them now. A Fiat 500 and a Nissan Titan. Great work, good customer service, fair price. We recommend them. Id given them another 5 star review if I could.

Mr. Martinez UPDATE (05/06/25): Here is my most recent review, since I can’t add another review I am revising this previous one I had posted. Where to even begin, Mario has been nothing but truly professional along side with his wife and son. I have a 2019 Landrover discovery sport 2.0L that needed an alternator replaced I had all the parts already, I called another mechanic that was cool but. Could not do the work because of how intense it would be complicated in other words. I called another shop that was referred to me only to never get a call back, called another shop that wanted way way more than I could afford. I was giving up hope and as I’m looking to see who eles I can reach out to, I see this company and I gave Mario a late night text due to me working and right away he replied back and as busy as he was he still found time for me to come in. I ended up coming Monday (5/5/25) a day early to drop off car since I knew it wouldn’t be worked on until Tuesday as we agreed and I had to work today Tuesday not expecting to pick it up until Wednesday or at the end of the week. Well as soon as I arrived Mario introduced himself, actually took the time to sit with me and explain the logistics on how they work and how his view on cars in general are viewed as one not as the type of car it is!! Not only did Mario explain to me what the process would be but what to potentially expect on a worse case scenario as well, he was upfront with everything, labor, cost, difficulty level ect.. He even took the time yesterday (Monday)same day I was just dropping off the car so he could get started on it Tuesday but instead he began on it that same day which blew me away, I was pretty excited about this but nervous at the same time because the type of car it is, very needy. Anyways he even went out of his way to text me later that day to confirm with me like we spoke about in person that it will be a little more due to the complications of the vehicle itself in which I was very understanding. I was completely understanding of it and especially after they tried everything they could before having to resort to this. I know he’s being honest because I myself couldn’t even do the work and hearing it from a handful of mechanics that wouldn’t touch it or where going to charge way to much!! Mario had my car ready early this morning (05/06/25) to my surprise and everything working brand new again, his wife was just as awesome, sweet, and friendly when paying got the services she was just as informative as Mario! **** I CAN HONESTLY SAY I FOUND MY TRUSTWORTHY MECHANIC!! *** ***Just to be straightforward I have no connections to Mario or his family, this was my first time doing Buisness with him, and I am extremely satisfied with the work they did ! I will definitely be a repeat customer if anything comes up or if anyone is looking for someone they can trust !! *** ***So I don’t understand all the negative comments he has received previously because I had a whole different experience and I wouldn’t be wasting my time writing this review or my reputation or more importantly Mario’s reputation and his family!! I will make sure to recommend him to anyone looking for a honest, hardworking, truthful, very fair priced mechanic!*** *****Thank you again Mario to you and your family for the great experience and for getting my car working 100% again when nobody eles would touch it or over charge !! God bless y’all and I will make sure to recommend you to anyone that needs work on there car.***** ( Previous Post:8 months ago) Mr. Mario was very responsive, respectful and took time out of his day to speak to me over the phone about the issues that maybe going on with my vehicle as well as advised me on needing to further look into my vehicle to diagnose what is going on. Overall I would recommend him!
