Gaines Speed Auto Resource

Steve is best!!! He examined my car with a fine tooth and kept it healthy. He was always fair with pricing compared to other indy shops in the area.
As a BROKE GRADUATE STUDENT paying out of state tuition — little was left for car repairs. I went in to have a sensor replaced and he pointed out another problem and patched it up. The guy is soooo sweet — he didn’t charge a cent more than what he quoted me.
He has wifi, comfy couches and CABLE in his waiting area anddddd this is a college student’s DREAM while waiting anywhere. I completed my term paper and indulged in some CABLE TV :-) I always wait for my car and yes you will wait a little longer BUT who cares when their car is being prepared to be safely return to the road.

Excellent service at a great price! I am visiting from out of town to help my daughter after surgery. Called Gaines just as they opened, was told I could be seen right away for new break pads. I arrive at 8:36, David took my car to the back immediately, the job was completed by 9:45 a.m. Also. David was very polite. This will be my daughter’s auto repair shop and as a concerned parent Gaines Speed Auto gives me piece of mind. Thanks Unilocal reviewers for rating such a great shop!

I am changing my rating to a 2 star. My husband flew to Houston to assist our daughter in her recovery and felt that something was still wrong with the wheels. He took the car back to Gaines, the ball joints were bad. David missed THIS! David said he only thing wrong were the pads were bad. My husband did not receive an apology nor a discount for the oversight. I have lost my peace of mind, our daughter will not be a returning customer.

Just a stuck lug nut, but David arrived in just over an hour. Thanks again, Unilocal

I realized I had a flat this morning & gave them a call around 10 or so. It took a little while to get someone out to my apartment, but the guy who came was extremely nice & helpful (forgot to get his name). He explained what could be done to repair my tire & after plugging it, I followed him to the shop so he could patch my tire. Great customer service, super cheap price, and they’re mobile! I’d definitely call them again if I ran into any trouble.

Excellent customer service. Steven was honest and affordable, couldn’t ask for a better mechanic.

Have used Gaines Speed on three occasions over the past year. Each time my car was repaired in a timely manner by a friendly and most importantly honest staff. I live nearby and was given a ride home after drop off, and picked up when repairs were complete. These are my go to guys for auto repair/​maint. Give them a try.

Today we had a flat our on our truck as we were trying to leave town, only to discover all we had was a car jack not a truck jack. I called Gaines, and they had someone to my house in half an hour who had my spare on in 2 minutes. I had time left to follow them back to their shop for a patch job. Mark, the guy that helped me, reassembled our truck with the patched tire, put the spare back on, and then surprised me after only thirty minutes with a bill for only $ 50. I would have paid three times that for the speed and quality, friendly service. But don’t tell them that ;-)
Top notch. Found out they have a full service repair shop in addition to their tire repair shop. What a discovery. We’ll be back. Thanks, Mark, and Gaines!

A great, reliable garage in Houston.
Great experience all around– would highly recommend.
Came in with what I thought was a broken brake line, ended up being a rotted out rotor that had damaged the cylinder and the brake pad.
I called in early on a Saturday morning, and by 11 AM I had driven over. Looking for prices online, I anticipated a cost around $ 300. Steven, the owner, was courteous, prompt, and gave me an INCREDIBLE price below $ 200.
The repair took a little longer than usual, but I was billed just the cost of the repair, not for the extra hours of labor they put in when they found more rust than anticipated.
I left with better brakes than my car has ever had, prompt, courteous service that was so honest. I could not recommend more.

Steven, the owner, fixed up my flat tire at my home so quickly. He is honest and efficient, and I plan to use his mobile repair business in the future. Please consider him for your next car emergency or repair. Truly awesome!

I have been going to Steve for a few years now for auto repairs. As a woman, I always felt like mechanics would give me the run around and try to sell me on stuff that I didn’t need. As a single parent without family in the Houston area, car problems were my biggest fear. I had an older car, with a whole lot of miles on it, and wasn’t in a position to get a new car. I broke down once and the guys came to my house and picked up my car for me. Another time, they made sure I got to work on time in the morning and then picked me up from work, taking away most of the worry for me while repairs were being done. The best part is that they fixed my car at a fraction of what other shops would have charged. I have used them for engine problem and a/​c problems. Once they made a repair, I never had the problem again. They do quality work. I hear they are great with tires too but I haven’t needed their services for that.

One of my technicians at work got a flat tire on Hwy 59 and I did not want to pay towing fees etc. So, I looked up Mobile Tire Repair Companies and found Gaines! I gave them the location and tire size and they were able to quote me a price right away, and went to handle the repairs immediately. I will definitely be calling them for any future flats. I also called a few other companies to compare pricing and Gaines was cheaper by $ 66. and those other companies were not able to give me pricing right away, I had to wait 5 – 15 minutes for call backs.
