You get good honest service. No trying to get more from you NY doing work that doesn't need yo be done. Pep boys and the mechanic they recommended were going to tear my car apart piece by piece till they found what was wrong. Charging me exorbitant prices all along the way. Shephard found the problem and fixed their work at a reasonable price since the other mechanic tried to ruin my car by leaving the a/c lines open to the air. Shepard replaced the lines and made sure they did not have dust or dirt in the lines which could cause other problems. They were the greatest and are my go to for all mechanical concerns.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for an auto repair close by because my starter was going bad. So I drove up, told them the issue and they took me right away! I even got a ride back home. I got a call within the hour and since they already knew the problem, Paul said they would only charge half to do the other diagnostics. He suggested a rebuilt starter because they were cheaper. I also told him to check the front brakes because I thought that I might need them. He said the brakes were still good! Some garages could've went ahead and done the brakes since I brought it up but they were honest and that was refreshing! They did the job fast and came to pick me up to get back to the garage. I had the car a couple days and the starter didn't sound right so I went back. The mechanic came out to listen and agreed. This was not their fault as bad out of the box parts do happen. I asked if they could put a new one in instead of a rebuilt. Since I'm in business myself, I know they mark-up the cost of the parts so I told them I'd be happy to pay the difference plus the mark-up. It was late in the afternoon so they asked if I could come in first thing in the morning. I brought the car in, got a ride home and they were finished in about 2 hours. They picked me up from home right away and when I got to the garage, Paul only charged me their additional cost of the new starter with no mark up. The new starter sounded great! I was totally impressed with the whole experience. They will be my go to garage whenever I need service and repairs and I'll also recommend them to my friend and neighbors.

I adore these guys. They're honest, ethical and priced fairly. They really go the extra mile. They'll give you their opinion, but never push you to do anything. They'll let you know whether it's something that can wait or needs to be done RIGHT NOW. They'll help you find used parts if it's a viable option. They'll get you brand new parts if it's not. I've never felt pressured and I've always left happy.

Fabulous service! I called to see how busy they were and was told to come on over. I went an hour later and had my car serviced immediately. A mechanic took it for a short test drive to hear the sounds I described. I needed my front brake pads replaced and they had it done in about 3 hours including their lunch break. I had been given a ride home and then picked up after the service was done. The price was lower than I thought. I'm always worried about being taken advantage of at repair shops since I'm a woman and ignorant about cars, but I did not feel that way at all here. I felt respected and will definitely return here for any more car trouble.

I adore the gentlemen who work here. They take phenomenal care of me Every. Single. Time. They are great people to talk to, they provide outstanding service in a timely manner, they communicate more than any other auto care place I've been in (in and out of Lubbock) and explain everything that's going on with my car every step of the way. It is such a pleasure to work with these gentlemen. I highly recommend them.

Wheel bearings went bad on my truck just passing through. I limped it here & they verified it. They checked the rest of my front end to make sure nothing else was bad. They had the hub bearings off in no time. Had to wait on the parts to be delivered. Once they showed, they had them on quickly. They got me going very quickly. You don’t see that much anymore. These guys are great. Put on cartoons for my son to watch while I waited. Very reasonable hourly rates. I wish they were closer to where I live. 5 stars!

They fixed my car so fast! And escorted me back to work & picked me up at the end of the day 🙌🙌🙌 They also charged me out the wazoo... but I was glad to have my vehicle back up & running. However dealing with them as a business person is a different story ... rude,downright rude to women... I am the supervisor of a business here in Lubbock & if my guys call or take the trucks in then they are treated fairly decent,sometimes. Every-time I call to check up on the status of our vehicles ( which are our lively hood btw ) then I am verbally berated by a certain employee named Paul, his rudeness isn't just directed at me... he has also been extremely rude to a couple of my guys on occasion. I think he hates his job or something... we are a company that has used Shepherds exclusively for repairs,pm & inspections. We always pay our bill in a timely manner & I am now shopping around for a new place for us to use after months of being treated like we are a problem instead of a valued customer.I only gave this 1 star in order to post it. In my opinion they are mediocre mechanics at best with a terribly unprofessional attitude.

They did minor engine repair. When they gave me the car, AC was not working and compressor was burned completely (when they dropped me off with my own car the AC was perfectly fine). I assume they idled my car for hours and maybe whole day in their shop and burned the AC. Then they asked for $2000 extra to fix the AC. I never had AC issue and was working perfectly fine before they dropped me off.

You can trust these guys with anything! Our whole family takes our vehicles there and we're never disappointed. If you don't understand the repairs that you're getting simply asked and they will explain in detail what's going on before they charge you a dime. If you're looking to purchase a used vehicle take your car to them first pay for an inspection and they are extremely thorough makes a huge bargaining chip for the vehicle but also lets you have the perfect idea of what you'll be buying...or maybe not buying.

Great place to take your vehicle. Everyone was very nice and respectful. Everything was explained to me in detail. Brought my truck in being told by someone else that it was one thing, and leaving with it being another that didn't cost as much. They are very reasonable on their prices & do amazing work. If I ever need any work again, I will be taking any one of my vehicles to them to have fixed. Thank Y'all for great service & great people.

Horrible. They overcharge for labor & diagnostics; they charged me $79.50 for "diagnostics" even though I knew exactly what needed to be fixed when I brought my car in. I had three check engine lights on... two were for a misfire and one was for a speed sensor, in which I supplied to him. I am a young girl and they totally took advantage of my lack of knowledge for auto repair charges. When I brought my invoice to another TRUSTWORTHY auto repair shop (that were too full to fit me in), they were shocked at the labor they charged for putting on spark plugs, etc. and the fact that they charged me $79.50 for diagnosing an already known problem was ridiculous. I was told that "diagnostics" was necessary by the owner because putting on new parts doesn't always resolve the problem. This is true for some cases, but NOT mine. My check engine light code TOLD them EXACTLY what needed to be done. He refused to give me any money back and claimed that he didn't feel it would compensate for the work done. This man trys to act like he treats his customers great, but it's all a hoax. I paid approximately $487 to this place and I am furious that they have done nothing for me after I realized how much they ripped me off. Nothing. I will never go back here and I would advise anybody else the same. There is a reason they have such an open schedule and there is a reason they supply rides to their customers... it's because nobody wants to be serviced by them once they know the truth & they need any service they can get.

Fantastic service and a personal approach. As a woman it is hard to find a mechanic who is trust worthy and not condescending, the guys at Shepherd's are awesome. They explain everything in a way that you personally will understand, and address you personally instead of referring to "your husband" or "your father," which I appreciate. In addition to being explanatory, friendly, and polite, they did a great job fixing my truck! I also got a student discount. Thank you Shepherd's Auto Care!! I'll definitely refer friends & come back myself if I need anything else.

Had my van for 6 months now lies the whole time I paid half of the 1800$ bill. The chip needs replaced they put a used one in and can’t program it so they we’re taking it to the dealership to get a new one that was January I drove over they told me the dealership picked it up when we could clearly see it in the back now it’s at the dealership and I called the dealership they were not putting a new one in just trying to program the old one. They refused to refund me my money when they have not fixed anything!

Passing thru town on the way back to Austin from a family trip out of state and suddenly the car dies in the middle of an intersection. Uh-oh !! A local referred them after I asked for a decent shop name. I called in and Ben quickly had me in touch with a wrecker as well as sending his personal vehicle over to pick up myself, the wife, the 3 kids and our two dogs. Did I mention he was kind enough to bring cold water as we'd been standing out in the 98 degree heat? The car got over to them 45 minutes before closing time and they took the time out of their already long day to stay more than 2 hours past closing time to get us up and running and back on the road. We were treated like family while waiting, as well as our dogs, and the bill was pleasantly surprisingly low. I can't praise Ben, his family, and crew enough for treating us the way they did. They were quick to ensure our safety, comfort, and eagerness to resolve the problem and get us heading south again as quickly and financially painless as possible as they did not make any money considering the overhead associated with that extra time vs my bill. I wish they were closer to Central Texas as a business run like this is hard to find anymore. It reminds me of the way customer service used to be and brings a smile to think there are still a few honorable auto repair places left today . Job well done gentlemen !

I cannot say enough to praise Shepard Auto! Although I did not take my vehicle to them, they helped me with a very different thing. Today when I got home, I heard meowing coming from my engine. Upon opening the hood, I realized there was a kitten stuck in my engine bay. I tried to get the kitten out on my own but was unsuccessful. A neighbor reached out to Shepard Auto and they did not hesitate to send someone to help. Cody arrived in no time to my residence and worked his magic to the get the kitten out. It was no easy feat but he was able to set it free after an hour or so! I was so relieved we were able to get it out and hopefully find it a home. Thank you Shepard Auto and Cody for being such kind human beings!!! You’ve gained a customer for life!!!

Paid thousands of dollars for them to replace the motor, transmission, and a few other misc. things on our Jeep. First, they had someone go all the way to Dallas to pick up the motor just to get back and find out it was the wrong motor. Second, once we were able to drive the Jeep to WA state, the belt that they replaced broke due to them putting the wrong size on. We ended up having to go back and forth with the owner for him to fix their mistake. Would not recommend this shop if you want your car serviced well and in a timely manner.
