T & As Auto Service - Corpus Christi (TX)

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.

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!

john mata Best place in town honest down to earth human being , me and other family members go here

Alice Splawn When you arrive, you are greeted by Cricket-a very nice, knowledgeable young lady. After explaining my problem, a thorough check of my car was done and a detailed list of what NEEDED to be done WITH estimates was provided. The work that I wanted was completed in a more than timely manner for exactly the estimate. Thank you for a great job with nice, patient people!

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

Riley Campbell I had a coolant leak that I didn’t want to ignore. Called these guys and they came out the next morning, swapped the hose, topped off the fluid, and double-checked everything.

Guy Fawkes Very dependable guy and very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend

Alexis Abler As a girl that’s 22. It’s hard to find a place that doesn’t try to scam you and or just gives you the bill and doesn’t explain what’s wrong with your car. James is amazing and I have gone I think four times now he is so kind patient and always goes the extra mile to help me out with whatever I need. I am so grateful for him and he has been the reason I keep continuing to go back. He always explains to me exactly what is wrong with my car and gives extremely good advice, especially when I was looking for a new car. His customer service is phenomenal . thank you so much! You have a loyal customer.

Martin Flores Awesome services from top notch mechanics. Took my car in to get its 200k services and it’s running smoother than ever. Great customer service and clean garage. Highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs work done to their vehicle. See yall at a million!

M K I recently brought in my car to have the brakes checked as a Jiffy Lube in corpus had told me that I was "metal on metal." Ted called me back to say that I was definitely NOT metal on metal but I would likely need to replace my brakes within the next 5k miles. I went ahead and got everything replaced with Vans as Ive always trusted them telling me like it is and NEVER trying to scam me into a purchase like these other large companies. Unfortunately, the next week my a/c went out and again I took it back to Vans. Ted and his team thoroughly checked my car to see what the primary issue was and got me back on the road with an a/c working quickly. These 2 services were not cheap, but I had no hesitation giving my money to Vans because Ive always believed they were giving good quality work & service. I would highly recommend taking your car to Vans for any services that your car may need. They treat you like family and that is hard to find in businesses nowadays.
