Broadway Tire and Auto

Recently bought an older car as I am temporarily in San Antonio for work purposes and didn’t feel like driving across state lines. Asked them to check it out and they had to change the gas tank due to a pretty nasty leak which I noticed. Overall pretty positive and painless experience, I would just say give them an extra day from their estimates of when it’ll be ready. Tonight really means tomorrow night, but I was in no rush to get it right away so I didn’t care. Thanks Brandon!

I felt compelled to write a review today after getting my tire and bumper fixed because these guys have just done so much for me and I am forever grateful and I don’t think they understand how much I appreciate them. Lol. I’ve been going to these guys for a couple of years now and I am just so grateful for the service I have received. I’ve brought my personal vehicles and company shuttle here to be worked on. They’ve helped me through so many mini emergencies and I can never thank them enough. They are honest and offer fair pricing and can usually get you in and out in the same day. You never get the runaround with these guys. I will never go anywhere else.

I live out of town and am glad to find an honest business to fix my broken A/​C. The repair cost was reasonable and my car is now an ice box. Much thanks to Brandon, Kevin and their team.

Brought my car in for a roof paint job (something the shop isn’t known for) and gave me a really good price. The completed work is amazing and even fixed some minor dings. Kevin & Brandon were very helpful and informative. Will be back for the great work.

Always honest and fair. I have been here 4 times in the past 3 months. I have two cars that need general maintenance and a 11 yr old car that HAD a check engine light on. Kevin has turned my business away a few times letting me know I didn’t need something, and he also told me things I needed.
For example, my 2005 Honda Civic had major driving issues, where I was unable to get on the highway, the car shook so bad. So, I took it to Midas down the street on Broadway. Midas gave me a quote of over $ 1,200!!! I took the car home and left it there, without resolving the problem (since I have a newer car to use). When Tax time came, I took that very same car to Kevin, where Kevin told me, it was simply the tires, and all the extra stuff Midas told me was UNNECESSARY, and the Civic didn’t need to be replaced, since the car is in great condition, and with such low miles. In the end, Kevin took me home, personally, and picked me up when the Civic was serviced. All I needed were two new tires! I repeat, two new tired. Midas failed to tell me this! Kevin charged me $ 200.00 out the door for everything he did.
Just a few weeks ago, I asked Kevin if I needed a tire rotation on my 2012 Civic, he told me no and sent me on my way. I’m sure a Rotation was under $ 40.00 and he wouldn’t take my money. WOW! How honest!

My son’s car broke down. I searched the web and found Broadway Tire and Auto. They towed my son’s car, conveniently adding the tow price to the bill. Brandon was absolutely amazing! Within a day, he called me to let me know the car needed a new clutch & power steering hoses. They were very reassuring and very reasonable for the cost. They even let us make payments! Needless to say, my son’s car drives like a champ! I’m extremely impressed with all the folks that make up this HONEST business! They are a «God Sent» in the automotive industry.

I am extremely impressed with Broadway Tire and Auto. First I will say that I am young and a woman, and finding a mechanic that does not try to take advantage of that is not the easiest thing in the world. I called last minute and was told they would fit me in to get new brake pads as well as an oil change. I dropped my car off with Brandon, who was very helpful. I told him that my brakes were making noise and that I need an oil change. He assured me that he wouldn’t start anything before calling me to quote me on whatever needs done. Soon after I left, I received a call from Brandon saying that they did a complete check-​up on my car and nothing was wrong with it. They cleaned my brakes out to keep them from making noise, at no charge, and changed my oil. They could have easily told me I needed new brakes and made more money off of me, but they have more integrity than most mechanics I have run into! I have already referred a couple of people there and will continue to do so.

I have been taking my cars to Kevin’s shop for the last 10 years after a friend recommended it to my wife. Broadway Tire and Auto has not failed us yet.
Here is a recent example: the engine light on my Chevy dashboard came on one day. I took the car to a local Chevy dealer because I also had a recall that needed repair. After charging me $ 130 just for a diagnosis, the dealer said a spark plug was misfiring, necessitating the replacement of all the plugs. They quoted a large amount of money for the repair. I told them I would just take my car to my regular mechanic and drove straight to Kevin’s place. As usual, it paid off.
Brandon worked on my car. First he did his own diagnosis, which confirmed what the dealer told me. Brandon’s estimate to replace the plugs was much less than the dealer’s estimate. Brandon was going to charge me $ 430 because an intake cover had to be removed. Then I got a call from Brandon later that day. He discovered an oil leak from a broken hose that was causing the spark plug misfire. The final cost was $ 211 and the problem was fixed. Thanks, Brandon!
If you read the other comments on this site, you can see why Broadway Tire and Auto has such loyal customers. I hardly ever write reviews but this shop deserves all the praise it earns.

I will try to summaries my experience with them in few sentence! Being a woman with old car makes me an easy target to rip off! But those guys were above excellent, they did not hesitate to take time and find solution for it. The great service and reliable shop I would recommend to anybody!

How can I top the «non slimy» review?
These are a bunch of hard working guys that will treat you right. They will take on major projects as well as oil changes and tires. Their character is such that screwing someone would violate their sense of fair play.

Found them on Unilocal and true to the other reviews they were fantastic. Had the flat on my trailer fixed in no time and saved my day. These guys are great!

Absolutely outstanding!!!
I had horrible noises coming from my vehicle… popping/​clicking on changing gears, loud roaring noises so loud the radio didn’t drowned them out, a perpetual noise that increased on acceleration, etc… I delivered it on a Monday, they rode with me to listen and drop me off at Hertz, and then called me just a little over 24 hours to let me know everything was repaired, including the tune-​up I asked for (belts and hoses were okay but recommended spark plugs and cables changed). The price was reasonable, and I would whole-​heartedly return to them for any future care I may need. The whole staff was professional and respectable. I drive a 2001 4-​runner with almost 170K miles, and I have no doubt I will continue to get several more years out of it. It drives awesome… just as good or better than when I bought it used in 2007. You will not go wrong, and I recommend them 100%. Actually, it is quite refreshing to have found an honest, professional, quality-​oriented car and tire repair business. The only downside I have is they are not open on the weekend. I originally planned to drop my car off on a Saturday, but they are only open 8 – 5 Mon-​Fri.

So thrilled with my service here, and I will continue to go here for car problems. The «check engine» light on my car had been on, and I had previously gone back to the dealer where I got this used Kia Rio 2007 (see review for Fernandez Honda), but I could tell the dealer did nothing to my car and I was nervous. When I went to pick up my car, the gentleman there told me he was horrified that the dealer even sent me out on the road with the front two tires I had (apparently the back two tires were like new). He ushered me back to his workshop to show me the tread on the front two tires, and sure enough, they were as smooth as a baby’s skin. Yikes indeed. What I appreciated was that he didn’t just want me to blow my money on replacing the tires, he wanted me to understand why I would get new tires & to watch out for it in the future. Furthermore, I didn’t have the device to unlock the wheels in case I had a flat, and he handed me one, free of charge, and told me to keep it on me. Again, he said he was horrified the dealer didn’t ensure I had one. I appreciated that even though I clearly didn’t know something I should have as a car-​owner, he didn’t talk down to me. He encouraged me to understand and be able to properly maintain the car. He also re-​aligned my tires, and it has felt like driving a completely new car on the highway ever since. The service was quick, the price was fair, and the people were great. I’ll keep updating every time I go back (God-​willing, I don’t have to).

These guys are the best!
I came in with two flat tires. I had been driving without a spare for too long, and it finally caught up with me when I ran over a nail in the road.
They offered a patch or a plug. I didn’t know the difference, but they walked me through the decision, and whether I needed new tires. They leveled with me on everything, and didn’t try to pressure me into buying unnecessary services or repairs.
They did a thorough job of checking out the tires, and getting them repaired.
I was able to get in and out of there in less than 20 minutes, and for a very reasonable price.
They offer used tires for much cheaper than I’ve seen at some of these other places.
These are my new go-​to guys for tire repairs.

We will always drive the extra miles to come to Broadway Tire and Auto! We heard about Broadway from a friend and thought we’d check it out. My son’s car was having serious issues and got an $ 1,800 quote from a nearby shop (Stone Oak area). Broadway fixed the issue for $ 420 and told us that the other place was just adding issues that weren’t necessary. I’m so glad we found out about this no nonsense shop and we won’t ever go elsewhere! Very happy to find good, honest people!

If I could give more stars I would! These guys are awesome, Brandon helped me out with my Tacoma. I had multiple problems and they took care of me right away. I brought in my truck in the morning by noon it was finished. I need a new radiator, new belts, and a tune up. I find it hard to trust mechanics but Broadway Tire and Auto has made me a believer that honest mechanics still exist. I knew what was wrong with the truck and they fixed it super fast! They even found me a new radiator since the Toyota guys had supplied the wrong one. A+++++ I will be coming here whenever I need anything for my vehicle! Thanks again guys

When we moved to Terrell Hills we spent almost a year trying to find an auto shop we liked. Well, we liked Broadway and Tire so much we were bummed when we moved 45 minutes across town and it became unfeasible to drop off here anymore (we only have one car, and that would be quite the walk).
Everyone who works at this mom and pop shop is a rock star. They care about the cars and the customers. They even care for an army of stray/​feral cats (and sometimes a few dogs) from the apartment complex that backs up to their lot. It’s not often you can pet a cat while you get your car worked on.
Just so you know how much we liked them, even when we lived closer, we didn’t always want to do the 3 mile walk home, but we used them anyway. We’d hang out in the waiting room, playing apps, or down the block and have lunch. Once, they unexpectedly needed to keep our car over night and they gave us a ride to a rental car place on their way home.
Thanks for all the help everyone!

I have been to a fair share of auto shops where I have been ‘taken’ and certainly have never been somewhere where the mechanic said ‘no, I checked that, it’s totally fine’ about anything. These guys are honest, genuine, friendly… I could go on and on. I’m not sure that I ever would have stopped at the purple building if it weren’t for Unilocal reviews, but I’m so thankful I did. They did a great job and were totally non-​slimy and trustworthy. I won’t bore you with my mechanical issues story, but I can say that I will bring my cars here for anything I need in the future, and highly recommend them for yours!

Not that they need more reviews, but these guys are great. Everything good everyone says is true and they were honest, fast, and friendly. Thanks guys!

Quite possibly the best car service place I’ve been to, ever. They explained everything to me in so that I could understand it. They ordered the tires which came in the next day and I went in with no appointment and had them put on.
They know exactly what they are doing, helpful, and appreciative of their customers. I will be going back for all my car service needs, without a doubt.
