C & M Car Specialists

Awesome service!!! Went there today for an oil change, it was equivalent to being on an Hov lane on the free way. «Express service»
Now it’s confirmed that I’m going to use a Honda for the rest of my life because of C&M specialist.
I will recommend them to anyone that cares to listen.

I moved to Houston from California in 2004 with my 1997 Honda Accord (91,000 miles on odometer). That summer, I took my car to a local dealer for regularly scheduled maintenance and was told I needed about $ 1,400 worth of work, of which I had about $ 600 of that work done there.
At the recommendation of a friend, I took my car to C & M for the remaining $ 800 worth of work. Mark told me I needed only a couple minor parts replaced not the major parts the dealer had quoted … final cost, $ 60. I drove my car with regular maintenance and scheduled services for another 150,000 miles. I now bring my used Acura RDX here and get the same honest service as I did my first day.
Craig & Mark (and the team of mechanics) at C & M Specialist have always been honest and fair! I would not trade them in! :-)

Best Honda Car specialist in Stafford/​Missouri city area been coming here for years. I highly recommend this place. Everyone is nice and honest!

Ok, can I just ask how its possible that these people can take a quarter of the time that the dealer does, and (I guess consequently), be so reasonably priced?! In to out time was maybe an hour for a broken axle and brake flush. I had expected to sit for three hours, then start bothering them about where’s my car! Obviously, I don’t know these people!
Craig was brusque, but professional. In fact, they got my trusty old van in and up before I even thought to look. The first thing they did was show me what needed to be done. Ordering parts took exactly as long as they quoted, and the work was done in a jiffy.
I really like all the guys I talked to also. Maybe they were rolling their eyes cuz I had told them the wrong axle, and I don’t know much about cars, but I’d have rolled my eyes at myself also.
Honest, professional, quick, well priced. Ill be back!

I have been going here for 12 years at least. First with my 2000 civic, and now my 2008 civic. I can say, without an iota of exaggeration, that these gentlemen are the most honest, genuinely nice mechanics I have ever met. I have gone there more times than not, and walked out not paying a dime, because something was a quick fix or didn’t need repair like I thought. I was happy to go in for a repair today and actually fork over some dough. That’s right, I’m very happy to pay my car mechanic. They are just the best of the best. I could go on and on about the ten years of great service I’ve had with them. I moved back to Houston after two years in San Diego, and the first time I came in to get my car checked out they gave me a free «welcome back to Houston» oil change. They are also responsible for notifying me of a Honda recall that resulted in my entire engine being replaced, FOR FREE. They won’t screw you, they are quick, and they’ll even drive you to the Mexican restaurant down the road to have some beers while you wait for your ride. Best. Auto mechanic. Ever. I’ll keep buying Hondas, just to keep my mechanic. If that doesn’t convince you, nothing will.

This place never fails to provide good service. Mr. Craig provides you with details of what they find and what needs to be done. Calls are prompt and finishes jobs fast. I also find this shop cheaper and better quality work than any other place out there. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to anyone.
If want terrible service and waste your money, then go to the dealership.
God Bless…

Had 2005 Acura 90,000 miles service here, they replace Honda parts, check car condition and found out the one of parts was broken and might cause severe problems later on, which was the main reason we sent car to the shop but did not aware of broken part, thank C& M Car Specialist. It’s auto service I trust,

Great service. When I need the job to be done right I take my Honda here because they specialize in Hondas. I like it here because they give you a reasonable price and won’t push you to do anything that you’re not comfortable with.

Reasonably priced, helpful and knowlegeable. I have been taking my Hondas for service to C & M or over ten years. I have recommended C& M to all my friends and family who have Hondas.

These guys are great! They are honest, don’t waste your time. And very cordial. Go see them!

My first Honda was right out of college after I got my first job. I used to take my brand new Honda Accord to the dealership for every single scheduled service/​maintenance and repair. Boy did it get so costly! One day, one of the windows stopped working, and the dealership wasn’t open, so I took it to C&M. They fixed the window right away. Since then, I have been bringing my Honda to their shop… it’s been about 17 years (and 5 Honda’s later)! I have always been impressed by their honesty and integrity. For instance, once I had a coupon for a «free check up and oil change» at one of the Honda dealerships. After the inspection, the dealership told me several things they wanted to fix, one of them being a cracked engine mount. It sounded so scary that my engine was cracked, so I took my car immediately to C&M and they showed me the «crack“was just a «cosmetic» problem, and advised me that it wasn’t necessary to fix it! I saved $ 800!
We love C&M Honda so much that when we were deciding on buying a Toyota Highlander or Acura MDX, we decided to buy the Acura because we knew we’d be able to use C&M Honda. Their prices are also so much more competitive than the dealership price. Even though I miss the «free car washes» at the dealerships, I know that I am getting the best quality care and best price at C&M. They are always friendly, competent, efficient and honest. It’s really hard to find an auto repair shop like this. We are so thankful for them. They are truly a gem in the auto repair business!

This place is awesome honest people. Gillman Honda was going to charge me 1700 dollars for unnecessary repairs. I will only take my car here

Just moved to Missouri City and had a blower fan/​air conditioner noise and leak problem with my 2005 Pilot. Went in expecting to wait for hours and come home with a very large bill after a previous private mechanic couldn’t find the problem and a Honda dealership quoted approx. 350÷−400.00 to do the repair. I stopped in and was out in fifteen minutes with only a 42.00 charge! The problem was a simple after all. Thank you C & M for being so nice, fast and honest! You have a new forever customer!

Wow. I was spending so much money at dealerships before a friend recommended this place to me. Friendly, honest, and well priced. I never have service issues here and I feel confident my car is fixed correctly every time.

I have been taking my 02 Acura CL w/​nearly 200k miles here for major services for a couple of years now. Craig (and even the other guys) are always upfront about what should be done now and what can wait.
Example: I live in Austin now and took my car to the dealership for oil change. The advisor comes back with a report of a steering pump issue b/​c of a leak — nearly $ 700 in cost. I waited to have C&M check it and they said the leak is too minor and filled it up some fluid. So not only do they not recommend unnecessary services but recommend against any that seems unnecessary (did that sound redundant or truly poetic?)
Couple of gripes:
— the services invoices are handwritten and almost illegible cos of the handwriting plus being a carbon copy. So looking back at the records, it’s difficult to know which services were done.
— don’t plan on spending too much time waiting since the waiting area is very basic w/​a table filled with magazines from 2 yrs back. And no wifi.
Almost wish I lived in Houston just so my car last me another 100k!

We have been using C&M Honda for well over 15 yrs for routine maintenance and repairs to the 3 Honda Accords and 2 Acuras that we have owned or own and have NEVER had a bad or negative experience. These guys are THE BEST! They are completely honest, courteous, reliable, extremely knowledgeable, and absolutely competent and skilled at what they do. Their major maintenance service packages cost way less than what the dealers’ charge and they get the job done correctly and efficiently. In a world FULL of auto repair rip-​off artists and cheats, C&M stands apart, WAY apart, for their integrity and fairness! They are completely trustworthy! I recommend ALL of my friends who own Hondas to these guys.

I love C&M Honda! If you own a Honda (or an Acura) that you intend to keep FOREVER, this place can help you achieve your goal. You can trust Craig and Mark — they aren’t trying to do a bunch of unnecessary crap to your car, and they will tell you what can wait and what shouldn’t wait. One thing I really like is that they have a little handout you can take that lists a lot of standard services for your car. It shows all the models and years of the cars, and what service they will need at what mileage, along with how much it will cost. I like this because I can plan and save for what my car needs to be perfect. Craig was telling me they see a few Accords with close to 500,00 miles on them! Wow!
Anyway, don’t expect anything fancy here. The waiting room is kind of… bare…other than the coffee pot, powdered creamer and Marie Claire magazines (idk), so bring a book or your smart phone if you intend to wait while your car is serviced.

C&M Honda Car Specialists, in Stafford, TX is AWESOME! Craig (the «C» in «C&M») gave me all sorts of tips, answered all my questions (I had about 1,000, since I’ve been DIY’ing both our Acuras for two years now), and even tossed me a free oil filter for my TSX – the car that was not in for service. Their prices are very good, and their Honda-​specific knowledge is impressive! (Hondas, as great as they are, have lots of idiosyncrasies best handled by someone with lots of Honda experience.)
We used to think dealerships were the best ones to take care of our cars, but ever since a certain Acura dealership in Houston (rhymes with «Dawn Beagle») flushed the transmission of our TL – something that is strictly and specifically FORBIDDEN by American Honda Motor Corp., we decided against stealerships altogether.
I am really impressed with this C&M Car Specialists – impressed enough to drive there and back from downtown Houston for car service and to sign up for Unilocal only so I can post a review.

Craig was real helpful and the crew was fast at fixing my warped rotor on my 06 civic!

If you’re looking for an honest, experienced team to service your Honda or Acura, C&M is where you need to be.
Craig, Mark & team will easily earn your trust because they’re genuine & have the experience to know what’s best for your vehicle.
Forget the dealership– my experience at C&M has been quicker, more personal and less expensive than having the same services at the dealership. I would absolutely recommend C&M Specialists to anyone who wants to take good care of their Honda or Acura!
