Service was top-notch. We brought our car in thinking it was a big issue (smell of gas in the car), but thanks to the diligence and attention to detail of the staff, it turned out to have been a false alarm cause by a leaky gas can in the trunk. Had they not paid attention to such detail, we would have ended up fixing things that needed no fixing. Thanks Larry!

Visit this place at your own risk!!! I went here for an oil change sometime back and the guy there (Larry) while pulling my car into the bay scraped my car bumper like it was his first day driving. I confronted him about it and he denied and said that he didn’t do it. After much argument he decided to bring out a gun to argue with me I went in car and called the cops… he claimed he replayed the tape and saw it was first fault he’s violent

I had been hesitating with trying to find a mechanic to fix my radiator last month but when I came across this shop something told me to just call. I spoke with Mr. Larry told him my issue and he gave me a quote right away and finished the work in the same week as promised. I think we just found our new family mechanic. I will be back next month to get more work done. Thank you so much Gulf Coast Car Care!!!

Larry was great at not only explaining what needed to be done on my car, but taking the time to show me. He finished the job in a timely manner.

I recently took my Yukon to this shop for an engine replacement, which the owner, Larry, initially told me would take three days. I scheduled the work well in advance and dropped off my car on the agreed-upon date. However, Larry didn’t even start working on it until four days later. To make matters worse, the job took about a week and a half to complete. During the work, I noticed that various engine parts were scattered haphazardly on the floor, getting dirty and left without any special care or supervision to ensure their safety. I called every two days to get updates, and Larry became increasingly rude and unprofessional. At one point, he even hung up on me when he realized it was me calling. When the work was finally finished, I discovered that some of the tasks (like replacing the transmission filter and oil) hadn’t been done, and Larry didn’t bother to inform me about it. Additionally, Larry incentivizes customers to leave him five-star reviews on Google in exchange for a discount on their next service. This practice doesn’t necessarily reflect the reality of the service provided. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend bringing your car here for anything more complex than a basic oil change. Part 2 Dear Larry, I have read your response but was unable to reply at the time, so this is an addition to my original feedback. You write very well when you're behind the keyboard, but the issue is that reality and what you write don't always align. You are far from being accurate with the facts, and I say that gently. Yes, I did approve and request that you change the transmission filter and oil, but that was not done. Furthermore, I discovered several bolts missing from the engine and other parts you disassembled after completing the work. (Did someone mention safety and responsibility?) I would prefer not to go into further detail about additional issues I encountered, as I do not wish to harm your business. As a service provider, I suggest you take this feedback, appreciate the honesty, and consider how you can improve to avoid giving other customers a similar experience. All the best.

Larry is very knowledgeable. He will make sure you have the best parts with the best prices if you was to look on your own. He will fix your issues and let you know other things that you'll need done for safe travel. I will forever come to this shop. He also worked late hours for me. Thank you

**Outstanding Service at Gulf Coast Auto – A True Lifesaver in the Texas Heat!** I’ve had the pleasure of visiting *Gulf Coast Auto* multiple times for vehicle repairs, and each experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment I walked in, the service was prompt, professional, and reliable. My repair times were consistently short, and the work was done right the first time. Mr. Larry is not only knowledgeable, but he genuinely takes the time to diagnose and repair exactly what needs to be fixed—no unnecessary upsells or runaround. After purchasing a 20-year-old vehicle that hadn’t had a working air conditioner in two years, I had little hope. But thanks to Mr. Larry’s expertise and dedication, I’m now driving with cold AC and a big smile on my face—something absolutely essential in this Texas heat! It’s rare to find a mechanic you can fully trust, and I can confidently say that Mr. Larry has earned a lifelong customer. If you're looking for honest, efficient, and top-quality auto repair, I highly recommend giving *Gulf Coast Auto* a try. You won’t be disappointed! **Thank you, Mr. Larry!**

I can’t say enough good things about Larry and Gulf Coast Car Care. I had two problems with my Q3 and was bracing myself for dealership costs, only to find that not many shops even work on Audis. Larry knew exactly what he was doing and provided excellent work at a great price. Honest, knowledgeable, and dependable. I’ll be bringing all of my family’s vehicles here moving forward. Highly recommended.

Larry was awesome, he was able to quote me over the phone for rear brakes on my Range Rover, and the price was actually lower at checkout. I made a same day appointment and the job didn’t take more than a couple of hours. Larry is very reasonable and honest. As a woman, I really appreciate that. I was recommended by my sister and I’m glad I came. I’ll definitely refer people here and return for my car needs.
