TLS Auto Specialist Service & Repair

I have taken all three of our Toyota products (one Toyota SUV, one Lexas sedan and one Scion TC) to Fred at TLS for several years now. I have recommended him to all of my friends and family with Toyota products. He is honest, fair and hard-​working — the exact definition of a American success-​story. He started as a mechanic at several area Toyota dealerships, and then branched out on his own. He maintains his Toyota certifications through on-​going learning. He uses genuine Toyota parts normally, although if you need to save a little money, he will find used parts from the many lots near his location.
His son, Casey, has worked for the business for several years. I highly recommend TLS.

As a some what savvy buyer I do lots of research before I make my final purchase. Sometimes I could be considered the over educated buyer, one that tries to diagnose the problem by reading reviews (not always the best diagnosis). Well in this case I was extremely fortunate to have such honest mechanics as Fred and his son Casey. They spent about an hour of their time getting down to the part to find out that my diagnosis wasn’t the issue. Fred immediately told me that the part I thought was worn out was in good shape, saving me around $ 500. He gave me a more practical solution and sent me on my way free of charge. I know businesses can’t run on giving there time away for free, but their honesty has earned my respect and gratitude.

Finding an honest, fair auto mechanic is like finding a diamond in the rough. Fred is it. He runs a clean, efficient, honest business, and he doesn’t charge an arm and a leg. I moved to Houston two years ago, and I waited for my next service until I could come back to Euless to get it done by him. Good people, great service. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Honest, reasonably priced, clean, friendly, and they do great work! Further, they dont do unnecessary work like many others do. I use Unilocal a lot to get opinions, but have not been writing them. I felt moved enough to write my first one for TLS.

I highly recommend TLS AUTO SPECIALIST. In June of 2011, my 19-​year-​old daughter was driving through Euless, Texas and the transmission on her 2002 Lexus just fried. She was barely able to get it off the highway to a pawn shop parking lot. It was late at night and everything was closed. We live in Oklahoma City and I had to make a decision where to tow it knowing no one in the area and nothing about repair shops other than what I could learn online. I saw that TLS was within 15 miles of where she broke down and the reviews online were very good — though there were only a few reviews. I had the tow truck drop the Lexus there and put the keys in the night key drop (the tow driver warned us that if there was no key drop they would have to take it to their lot and charge storage but from the TLS web sight I saw pictures of the key drop and assured them there was a drop… and there was). I left voice mail for the owner that night.
The owner, Fred, called me the next morning after having checked out the car and told me what I expected, that the transmission had to be replaced. He quoted the price for a factory-​rebuilt one. The price was fair despite the fact that we were in a position where we could have been taken advantage of. The repair was completed in one day. Due to us being out of town, we had to pick up the car on a weekend — when TLS was closed. Fred was extremely helpful even coming out to the shop on Sunday to meet us to deliver the car. The shop is, as others report, as clean as a Dentist’s office. They warrantied their work, are very professional, courteous and fair. I wish I had a shop like this where I live. I would certainly use them again and we may even plan a trip to Dallas just to have repairs/​maintenance done in the future. John M.
