100% recommend. Joel and his Team of mechanics are excellent. They are very knowledgeable, affordable, thorough, honest and professional. I took my 2003 Pontiac Bonneville to them because water from the AC was leaking into the cabin due to clogged water drain. They fixed the problem quickly by unclogging the water drains and drained all the water out of the cabin. They even went above and beyond by offering me a ride to and from my home. Thank you so much. I will definitely be returning.

As professional as can get when it’s a matter of someone being very communicative and transparent. Joel has great people skills and shows that he puts the customer first when it comes to parts and labor prices. He kept me well informed on the repairs he was doing and also made recommendations for future maintenance. I can now understand why this shop has so many great reviews. He is so far my #1 pick for mechanic repairs.

I was referred to Cortez Automotive by the dealership I bought my car from. I own a 2019 Nissan Altima and I was having trouble with acceleration. I paid 2 mechanics prior to him to 1. Replaced the mass air flow sensor (but they did not clean the throttle body or reprogram) 2. Mechanic just put it on the computer and told me that it was the mass air flow sensor even though I had already replaced it. I am so thankful I reached out to the dealership and they referred me to Mr. Cortez. He found a leak from my transmission and replaced the seal, cleaned, and refilled the oil. Cleaned the throttle body and reprogrammed the car. My car now runs smooth without hesitation! His whole team were very respectful and knowledgeable and Mr. Cortez walked me through the whole process sending me pictures and calling me with updates! I will definitely be recommending him to others.

Highly recommend!! As a first time customer there I must say that from the very beginning when I made a phone call and spoke to Joel he was very polite and did not hesitate to consider I take my vehicle in asap. Upon doing so, the mechanics there acknowledged me right away and were very quick and helpful in finding out what the problem was and explaining it to me. The total cost was a reasonable price and it was ready the same day 😊

Cortez Automotive took care of me. I had a brake job done on my 2017 F-150 and they did excellent work. I will be going back when needed. Very satisfied customer here.

Highly recommend. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Most mechanics are only looking to make fast cash. That’s not the case with Joel. He fixes the issue from the root. He fixed the mess another mechanic had done. It’s been months and my car hasn’t given me any issues. He’s the only person I recommend to friends and family. Everyone who’ve i recommended to him have had positive experiences. Don’t hesitate to give him a call.

Hands down one of the BEST experiences I’ve had with a mechanic! I came in to get my brakes changed and was blown away by how smooth and stress-free everything was. The mechanic was super friendly, incredibly professional, and clearly knows his stuff. He took the time to explain what was going on and made sure I felt confident about the work being done. Fast, honest, and top-quality service — what more could you ask for? I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending him to everyone I know!

Great service, doesn't try to up charge. Very professional, highly recommend him to anybody that needs a mechanic. The picture is not his auto shop, just a great view outside the shop.

I just wanna say Mr Cortez is a good and honest person, his a blessed brother. I went in cause my car wasn't working right, left with the car working like if nothing was wrong with it. The best mechanic I've encountered.

Will definitely be coming back. Joel literally took the time to remove my tire n physically show me the brake pads n its condition. This makes so much difference! I was able to see the problem myself. Plus he was honest about my other brakes as well and showed me the difference between the two.

I recently had my car serviced at "local_business","Cortez Automotive service shop McAllen TX" and I have to say they truly live up to their reputation. They're known around town as the number one spot for reliable service and really fair pricing. The team is super friendly, and they made sure I understood what was going on with my car. Overall, it's a place I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for trustworthy and affordable auto repair. I take all my cars here....

I took my Toyota FJ Cruiser to Cortez Automotive Service due to an electrical issue. If you've ever dealt with electrical issues in your vehicle, you know how frustrating it is. Joel was honest and professional throughout the whole process. He kept me updated, fixed the issue the first time, and even texted me a couple of days later to ensure I was satisfied with the way my vehicle was working. That follow-up text was a class act and speaks highly of his professionalism. It is rare to find a mechanic who stands by their work like this. Finally found a great mechanic shop!

I had an outstanding experience with Cortez Automotive Service and wanted to share my appreciation. I brought in my family’s 2018 Chevy Traverse because the brakes were shaking pretty badly, and I needed it fixed on the same day before a trip. After some disappointing calls with bigger chains who couldn’t give me a clear price or timeline, I found Joel and his team through their great Google reviews. Joel was fantastic. He got me in that same morning, assured me they’d have it done quickly, and offered a very reasonable price. He even sent me videos during the repair process to show me what was being fixed and explain everything in detail. The shop itself might look a little old-school, but don’t let that fool you—this is a real, honest mechanic shop with top-notch service. They had me back on the road safely in just a couple of hours. Overall, I couldn’t be happier. Huge thanks to Joel and his crew for the professional, quick, and friendly service. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again!
