Elias did a fantastic job, honest and reliable, I will use him whenever I have a problem, with my Honda HRV. The dealer wanted $500 to replace my sun visor - Elias did it for way less, and he used the visor I had purchased. He also told me what was wrong with my ambient temperature gauge, which is completely opposite what the dealer told me. The dealer wanted to rip out my whole dash - the sensor is located on the outside of the car. It's so nice to run into an honest and great mechanic - I highly recommend him.

He wasnt available at the moment to come over. Asked me to describe the issue. Then helped me fix it on my own free of charge over the phone. Extremely kind and honest

As soon as I called Elias he was willing to help! He was so kind to me throughout the entire process of fixing my car. He fixed it so quickly and charged me a very fair amount. I would highly recommend him for any of your repair needs! He was so kind and so helpful.

This place doesn't exist here. He's a mobile "mechanic" that doesn't show up when he says he is. No call, no shows. This is exactly why he had to close down his shop!

I am new in town so finding a good honest mechanic is not easy. Elias is amazing, runs his own shop and is upfront on the costs involved. He gave me a worst case scenario and was $100 below that because he is honest. I would have paid the worst case but it shows his integrity! I highly recommend him, it’s just him in the shop and he is busting his butt off to make it so give him a try. Strong work ethic and honesty is rare!

Elias is an excellent mechanic! I towed my vehicle to his shop on a Sunday. Great communication the next day and was able to diagnose the problem. Very honest about the issues my vehicle was having. He even send pics while he was working on my car! I knew immediately I found a gem in McKinney. Don’t take your car anywhere else! Thank you Elias for going above and beyond!

I took my Chrysler Town and Country to Thumbs Up Automotive Repair. Elias did everything he promised and more. I found him to be of high moral character with honesty and integrity. He is obviously very talented as a mechanic and was able to diagnose and repair my vehicle in a timely and professional manner. The vehicle now runs much, much better than it has in the past. I found the cost to be very fair and upselling did not occur. I am very thankful for Elias and his business for taking care of my vehicle and will be going to him in the future for any needed repairs on my vehicles. I certainly recommend Elias and Thumbs Up Automotive to anyone in need of help with the repair of their vehicle.

Our 2020 Chevy traverse was making an awful rattle sound. We went to a mechanic (first choice auto) who told us we needed a belt / pulley replacement. After diagnosing our vehicle they then said we needed front sway bar links and strut mounts, not a belt. After we received the parts we were told by another mechanic it was a belt not sway bar links. I googled and found Elias. He came in on his day off diagnosed our vehicle with a broken muffler bracket within 5 minutes. He fixed it right then. So knowledgeable and reasonable with his pricing. Can not recommend enough.

Elias replaced our Volvo’s a/c condenser for a much more affordable price than at the Volvo dealership. He was super efficient and got us in right away -dropped it off on a Friday afternoon and picked up Sunday. Grateful to know an honest and reliable mechanic for any future issues!

Elias was extremely personable and friendly. I loved how he showed me exactly how my car worked and different options to repair. Great prices, too. Would recommend to anyone.

Elias has done so much work to my vehicle over the last couple years it’s hard to keep up. A few of the things have included oil changes, tire rotation, replacing breaks, control arm replacement, spark plugs, ignition coil replacement, and multiple electrical issues. He has always been great at diagnosing the issue and has literally saved me thousands of dollars and hours of time. He is fast and honest. He genuinely wants to help people and make sure his customers are taken care of. You won’t find this great of a mechanic or person to take care of your car.

They replaced my water pump on my car in which had no previous issues until this. My boyfriend was referred to them. The reviews made me along with the recommendations made me comfortable being I have very hard time trusting mechanics and they were a little less expensive then Goodyear who just did a diagnostic and I had one done before I moved to the area a year ago. Well I get my car back still running hot and the engine light on with a recommendation of a new head. Which shock me as I kept the maintenance up on my car. I took my car back to Goodyear to get checked out again well come to find out no coolant was put in it like my receipt said it was and oil was in my radiator so they didn’t flush my radiator after replacing the water pump. A serpentine belt and thermostat along with radiator flush was put on my car by Goodyear. No engine light and my car is running perfect. It would have cost me much less if I would have just let Goodyear fix it in the beginning.

On a Sunday one of my headlights had burnt out and I needed it replaced that day because I had work later tonight. I went/called to three different car services that have garages nationwide and none of them could do it that day. Found this place and gave him a call, and he said he could replace it for me all I had to do was go buy the bulbs. He is such a hardworking and cool guy working out of a small garage all by himself. I'm very thankful and would definitely think about going to him again

Had an engine replacement in one car and A/C repair in another. GREAT job on both!! And at a VERY reasonable cost! Elias is extremely knowledgeable and talented, and most definitely personable. He feels like a trusted friend. HIGHLY recommend his services!

Thumbs up saved us the other day when my truck overheated near the shop. It was an emergency and we didn’t want to tow our truck to another location. Boy did we luck out with the service provided. Firstly, the owner offered to drive us home back to Frisco. He then promptly changed my water pump and thermostat the following day at a fair and competitive price without any haggling. He even showed us the defective parts and it was apparent they needed replaced. We recommend thumbs up any day of the week!

I needed to replace my belt tensioner immediately. Elias accommodated me sensing the urgency and fixed my RAV4 a day earlier than scheduled. Price was affordable. I've been looking for an honest, good, fair mechanic for years.

I called Lias, and asked him if he would be able to take a look at my car sunroof, the motor was not working, and I had bought the replacement motor. I need it installed. I came by the shop, and he immediately came outside when he saw my car pull up, and started to take a look. I had got a couple other quotes for around $1000 from local shops, which I though was outrageous. They were telling me it was 6-7 hours of labor. Lias replaced the motor in 30 minutes! And only charged me $125, I was getting quotes for around $900. Lias was very professional, and I know after interacting with him that he is someone I can trust. Finding a trustworthy mechanic is hard, but I know I can trust Lias, and will definitely be coming to him in the future for any car repairs. I highly recommend Thumbs up Mechanic!
