I have a motorhome and it’s difficult to find someone to work on it. Bob, of Julian’s Automotive didn’t hesitate for a second and told me to bring it over and he would diagnose the problem. I believed the problem was a wheel sensor. He was vey concise regarding the cost and had me come over immediately. He runs a clean, organized shop. He was involved in another repair job and addressed my problem upon arrival. The problem was damage to a bracket that held the wheel sensor wires. He straightened the bracket and repaired the wires. The job was completed in short order. I have had repairs elsewhere and they would have replaced anything that was marred. I’m from out of state and I was surprised at the affordable price. I was exceedingly pleased at the quality of the work, the explanation of what was done and the value of the work. I wish I lived locally, I would be a regular customer. It is also very nice to meet an extraordinary person who interacts with you as Bob does. It was a pleasure to meet him.

After having my car at Autonation for over a month without even getting a diagnostic, I decided to take it to Julian’s Automotive. Finding hybrid techs in Corpus Christi isn’t easy, but Bob and his team exceeded my expectations. Bob was upfront and honest from the start, letting me know exactly when he’d be able to work on my car and when he couldn’t. He sometimes called with updates, which I really appreciated. Within a month, they diagnosed my car with engine failure, replaced the engine, and even handled everything with my insurance. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and understanding, making the entire process smoother. They don’t beat around the bush, and you get what you pay for. I had my car towed in and drove it out without any issues. I even drove it all the way to Houston, and it’s been running great! I can’t recommend Julian’s Automotive enough.

Did an excellent job diagnosing and repairing my F250 Diesel. Reasonable cost for the work done. Will go back if ever again in CRP and the truck needs to be fixed.

I took my truck in because my transmission and turbo were having issues. I asked them to diagnose it and give me an estimate. They told me it was $125 an hour for diagnostic and that they didn't know how long it would take. I agreed to the price. The lady upfront was super nice, and they even gave me a ride home. After a day or two, they called me saying they opened up the transmission fluid pan and that I needed a new transmission and a new turbo. They then quoted me a ridiculous price (about 7 thousand each just for parts) and told me there would be about a month wait for a new turbo. so I asked them to put it back together and paid $500 for that diagnostic (the oil pan wouldn't stop leaking after that) I pulled the transmission and noticed it wasn't too bad. took it to a local shop, and they fixed it in less than a day. Turns out I didn't need a new one. I then looked for turbos online and was able to find oem turbos from a reputable dealer for significantly less and was here within 5 days Between the labor for the rebuild, the transmission parts, and the turbo, I spent less than what was quoted for just a new turbo (without labor) at this place

My F250 diesel broke down on I37 and was towed to Julian's. Difficult situation being 525 miles from home and my family with me. They got me back on the road fast and at a good price. Thank you for your excellent service. I highly recommend.

I manage a Fleet of 42 trucks. Julians is honest, that in itself is hard to find. They are all extremely well qualified and certified techs. They are fast, they keep me in the loop. They can do Dealer only reprogramming repairs. You are in the best hands possible when you come here!

Bob and the team at Julian’s Automotive were beyond excellent and I’d trust them with any of my vehicles! Running a diesel F550, it’s difficult to find shops with the capability and willingness to work on such a vehicle especially for the price. ASE certified, extremely fair pricing, treated us like family, fit us in last minute TWICE in one week for two separate issues, plus made sure that we were safe and setup for a long ride. Thanks for the great service y’all!

Leaving Corpus from vacation and vehicle warning came on telling us it was going to limit us to 50mph. That would have made a horrible drive back to Dallas. Bob went out of his way to get us diagnosed, repaired, and back on the road. His wife was also very helpful while we waited. I can't thank them enough!

My diesel truck broke down on a Friday on the highway and after trying 4 or 5 other places I called Bob. He said he was really busy and wasn't sure he would have time to work on my vehicle. He already had 2 vehicles he needed to finish because he was going to be closed the following week. He said he just wanted to be upfront with me regarding the time frame. He did however offer to go to the location where my truck was and see if he could diagnose it and let me know what the issues were. He pulled my truck off of the busy highway onto the frontage road. Both batteries were dead because we had been trying to start the truck so much. He needed to get the truck to his shop to charge both batteries so he could run some tests. He took care of getting the tow truck. He had my truck up and running within a few hours. I am so grateful he worked my truck into his already busy schedule. Great customer service!

Julian's is the best auto mechanic i have known him for many years. I had a 300 hundred zx a long time ago. No one could start my car. It took him 3 to 4 weeks but he finally got it started. He guarantees his work. I highly recommend him. 5 stars all the way!!!

Needed to get my wheel bearings replaced. Went to another shop first and wanted to charge me over $700 for the repair! After looking around I found these guys and it cost me half of what the other guys wanted! Even offered me a ride back to the shop to pick up my vehicle! Will definitely take my future business to them!

Excellent shop for fast, professional, and most importantly honest service. Bob and Kathy are great people who take the time to make sure you understand what's wrong with your vehicle and what is needed to fix it. Kathy even provided a ride home to Flour Bluff.
