TC Auto Service - Corpus Christi (TX)

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!

adrian edwards Fuel pump control module went out and left my wife stranded in the middle of the road. Called Dubs early that morning a few minutes before they opened. They were able to dispatch a wrecker to pickup the car within an hour. Was told they were busy and would need to work us in. I was expecting a few days or more to get it fixed. Their team was able to work it in and diagnose the issue by COB same day and by the next morning we had the vehicle back. Bill has always been a very dependable shop that has some of the best service technicians in Corpus Christi. Thanks for the fast service and getting my wife her car back.

Richard Salazar Mandi is great! Definitely goes above and beyond! First time taking my truck to him and definitely won’t be the last! Awesome service! Updating me with texts and calls on my vehicle! Definitely recommend Mastertech!

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.

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.

Sally Falcon I proudly recommend him for all repairs hes a godly man and believes in God and doing the very best for his customer , thank you Santos and your team for always doing a fantastic job

Natasha Cole Great shop! Owner/ mechanic was so helpful, he stayed open late and helped me free of charge this last time on a simple fix. Used this shop before for major mechanical fixes, he had a quick turn around and the best price around! Highly recommend this shop!

Edgar Lopez Had to have car towed in just after closing. Tiffany contacted me first thing in the morning to inform me they were looking at vehicle. Received report quickly and as always, car repairs were done in no time. Thank you Christian Brothers for your fine service. Highly recommend for car repairs.

Judith Storms Very professional, polite, effective. I did not have any long waits. They were true to their word.. Took good care of my car and treated me with courtesy and good customer service. I was very pleased
