Galindo's Auto Service

My power steering pump and belts needed replacement, I bought the parts and decided not to install. Galindos was recommended. When I came to pick up the vehicle its pay first then get your keys. I’m used to the shop showing me their work first then I pay. Apparently that infuriated Galindo after the lady behind the counter took my money and then went to get him. He asked why I wanted to see before paying. Then he tells me he couldn’t install the second belt because it’s the wrong size, this after I paid. My real reason for asking before was because I saw a lot of fluid under the power steering area, I wanted to see if there were still problems. After his mini tirade it was obvious he wasn’t going to ensure he had a satisfied customer. Now a week later and it’s become apparent that the vehicle is leaking power steering fluid. So, guess I’ll finish his job or pay someone else. This doesn’t seem to be a shop to bring a vehicle to and expect they will treat it like their own, if it still has a power steering problem when it leaves so long as you don’t point it out before you leave they apparently are fine with that so long as you pay before getting your keys.

Have been bringing my vehicles here for years and have always had the best service. The shop is small, but they have all the state of the art equipment to diagnose problems and years of experience to get the job done. Was passing through one day and my check engine light came on. Took it to several places questing me $800-$1200 to fix. I was given the option of new or used parts, I went used only costing me $200 total. My car ran great for years. Highly recommend them!

WARNING! Do NOT go he is a scammer. He failed my inspection said it needed to get fixed. Said it would cost me $200 so I decided to fix it myself. I went back after fixing the sensor he said it needed only to have him fail me once again for a light he supposedly said was not working on the dash. He claimed that light should work and he would fix it for $200 I finally told him he was full of it and left. Dont know how this place is still in business. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Do not trust this place. They used to be trustworthy years ago but have become dirty when it comes to business. Twice they installed parts that do not even go to my vehicle. We were charged for new parts and ended up being used/refurbished parts. They replaced sensors that were not even needed and gave my husband a rude attitude when he questioned them. Sadly we never fight the price and just pay cash until now, our eyes have been opened by an honest mechanic. Having an older car we have found that honest mechanics are rare. Never again Galindo's.

WARNING STAY AWAY FROM GALINDO. STAY AWAY ! Always trust reviews. It’s from people who have had to learn the hard way so that people in the future don’t have a bad experience. WORST MECHANIC IN HOUSTON TEXAS 1.Replaced my struts and did an alignment, then 2 months later my struts are worn out broke and need to be replaced. Did not put struts in correctly, they were loose and crooked. 2. My steering wheel is extremely crooked after the terrible alignment and he refused to redo the alignment. 3.) replaced my break pads and he put them on backwards , he put the break pads on INCORRECTLY. 4.) Everything I paid this man to replace I had to pay again to get it all redone at a different mechanic plus extra work from the damage his work caused my car. This mechanic will mess your car up and won’t even test drive it to make sure everything is good. He’ll just work on your car and his wife will had you the keys with no communication. He won’t even hand you the keys himself and follow up on anything, his wife will hand you the keys and he’ll run and hide in the back. This man DOESNT CARE. STAY AWAY.
