I’ve taken my car to Cody on several occasions for repairs and maintenance. He always has affordable prices and keeps me updated while he’s working on car. I have yet to have a bad experience with him. I would definitely recommend Cody if you need repairs quickly day or night.

Our daughter’s starter went out and it was after closing time for most shops. We searched on line and found Cody. He immediately accepted the job and completed it within a couple of hours! This gave us the peace of mind to know she had her car fixed in the same day! Great service and professionalism.

Cody with Car Doctor of Huntsville took my money and did not do any work. Do not take your vehicle to him or you will be sorry!! He had my sons car for 3 months. I paid him $3,340 upfront to purchase and install a motor, transmission and clutch. He said it would be a 1-2 week job. After having the car for 1 month, he towed my sons truck to a garage, supposedly to use their lift and work on the car. (The pictures on his website and Facebook page are not his garage. He works in a driveway at his house.) He told me numerous times that all of the parts had been installed. I tried for 2 months to see the car, but he would not allow me to see it, using numerous excuses. After numerous delays and excuses and lies, I personally went to the garage where I knew the car was located and found out that they did not have any of the parts I purchased. In addition,, the motor that came with the car had been removed. After 3 months and $3,340, nothing had been done to the car! I had the car towed myself to another mechanic. I want my money back!

We paid Cody $3,000+ for parts and labor to fix my car. He had the car for 3 months. He never fixed the car and still has our money! Nothing but excuses. DO NOT TRUST HIM!

Car doctor did a great job fixing the air in my car! He was very transparent and explained exactly what was wrong with my car, and what I needed to get it fixed. It was fixed in a very timely manner and he was extremely reasonably priced. I will go to him back to every time.

Tl:dr Never shows up when he says he will, took my money and won’t return it (still waiting on $225 refund), lots of excuses. Save your money and avoid being scammed!!!My car broke down and this was the only person I could find willing to travel to check it out. We assumed a battery issue, and all Cody had to do was replace battery caps. It turned out to be the alternator so we made plans to have that fixed. As soon as we made our first payment, we had issues. He was supposed to come back later that day and he would say he was on his way back to work on the car and wouldn’t show up. We would call and it would go to voicemail and then he’d call us back with excuses. He didn’t end up showing up that night. He also refused to work on it earlier in the day because it was “too hot”. I tried to be understanding but days literally went by and his communication about why he was taking so long to come back was non existent. We paid him $375 upfront. I’ve managed to get $150 of that back as he said he had to wait for the refund for the part which would take 3-5 business days. It’s been roughly 2 WEEKS!! I was able to contact him the other day only because he didn’t recognize the number I called from. He said he had my refund but gave excuses as to why he hadn’t been able to send it back to me. He said he would send it the next day and it’s been 4 days since then. Just trying to put the warning out there for other people to please avoid using this guy as he scammed us out of all of that money and now won’t even answer my calls.

Family and I were passing through Huntsville, when our battery light came on and the car started acting flaky. We made it to the auto zone before the car shut down. Folks at auto zone gave me their number. They were on site in the parking lot in about 10 minutes. Turns out the alternator and battery were kaput. Got battery and alternator at the zone, these guys got the old alternator out, then put in the new one, made sure the battery was secure, buttoned up the engine, and we were good to go. Thank goodness for these guys. We were back on the road and headed home safely, and the cost was reasonable. If I lived in Huntsville, I’d definitely go to these guys again. Professional and courteous. Thanks, y’all!

The owner is Cody James. He is *SCAM*, do NOT trust him. Read the yelp reviews, they are all the same instance. I took my car to him, said he could fix it within a day. He kept coming up with continuous lies and excuses over two weeks of why it has not been done. We had to take it to a different mechanic because he did not fix the car in the first place. It sat at his house for two weeks even though he has a “shop”. We had to get the police involved and go to civil court for a refund after paying him $850 before the job was complete. Lesson learned, do not pay before the job is done. The cop that was involved has had this same instance happen to several other people regarding Cody. The cop said he was “the talk of the town.” DO NOT TRUST CODY JAMES I REPEAT.

I paid for my 2 cars to get fixed in advance I gave him money for multiple parts and labor. Then he asked me for money 2 days after I dropped off the vehicles saying he needs to order more parts .every time I asked about my 2 vehicles Cody said he got all the parts and he’s working on it as we speak .I went to his house 3 weeks later and my cars haven’t been worked And he didn’t have the parts I paid for . So I had to get my cars and take them to a proper mechanic shop. He promised to return my money a long time ago and has blocked my phone .Beware of this con artist don’t end up like me you’ll be sorry . Take your car to a real mechanic shop not a person who fixes them at his house in his driveway

Cody was helpful in the beginning but did not get all the work done to my vehicle. I paid Him $150 deposit to remove a 4 wheel drive axle and replace tie rod ends. He was only able to remove the 4 wheel drive shaft but came up with excuses when he wasn’t working on my vehicle to replace tie rods and ended up keeping over night at his house. The next day was no better. He came up with excuses and had me waiting all day till after 6 pm just to say he hadn’t started my vehicle yet. He kept my money with out doing all the work and now dose not return my calls. He’s a thief. Don’t use him!!!!!

He is so transparent, calm and passionate about his work. Charges nothing checking out your car and his charges are reasonable to fix the car. I am so glad to have met him and will gladly refer people to him. Thanks to Car Doctor of Huntsville.

Very nice man with outstanding service, and affordable prices. Fixed my car within a day and I’m extremely happy.

Dont bring your car here… Seems a little questionable at first pulling up to a drive way.. but after talking to Cody I felt comfortable and confident that he would be able to get the job done. After being super unclear about when the job would be done, what was supposed to be a 1 day job turned into a 3 day job… and then longer.9 days later i’m towing my car away to bring it to a new mechanic. Wasted 400$… got to keep the parts but not sure why he is keeping the labor fees about 200$ … he didnt do anything.

Im pretty sure this place is a scam, Im not sure where all the positive reviews are from. He said everyday for 2 weeks hed have my car fixed tonight, leaving me stranded for work, I had it towed and brought somewhere else and he was not even trying to fix the right thing, he misdiagnosed it. After a whole drama he only refunded me part of my payment, even though he did nothing but take apart my car and leave me stranded. I had to have my brother confront him on giving me my money back, because he refused to pick up my calls, and talk to me. Kept telling my brother he would refund me, he did eventually about a week late and only a part of it.He said he was okay with me paying late on a part, and then blamed his lack of work on that I had not paid him in full, mind you It was 150$ out of a 500$ payment I had already made. He should have just told me I cant pay the part late so I could have known and find a loan, instead of scamming me. It was a horrible experience, and I would not go to this mechanic ever again. If he is going to respond to this post, please know I am not replying to you, and im not taking this post down.

Great solid work from these guys. Had my truck taken care of and kept me updated along the way. Highly recommended!

Great service and very dependable and affordable, was at work and they came to my location and picked up my truck and did the work that needed to be done.

Cody was awesome! He went to my daughter and diagnosed the issue and got her car back running. Brought comfort to my mind knowing that he took care of the issue as promised at fair price. I’m 3 and a half hours away from my daughter and was worried about her getting her car fixed and Cody resolved the issue and gave me peace of mind. I recommend Car Doctor of Huntsville for your car repairs in Huntsville! Thanks Cody! Brian Johnson

They lost my keys… for like a and a half. Then I tried to see how much he would discount my remaining balance and he refused. After losing my keys !! I’ve literally never had a mechanic “lose” my keys before😂😂

Awesome service! Appreciate Kodys kindness and expertise!

I have to give Cody a 5-star rating. His price for brakes with new rotors was exceptionally low. The time promised was well within the time range.

Wonderful experience here! On a cold sleeting day, Cody gave us quick attention and made sure we could wait in a warm dry area. Easily troubleshooted our issue and even drove our car around to make sure it was safe for us. Highly recommend!

Dude is a scam artist. Still owes me money from months ago for work he never did

Great service and very knowledgeable.

My brother took his truck here and it sat there for 2 months without being worked on. He just kept getting continuous lies and excuses about when it will be done and this guy is horrible at communication. Makes you pay before the work is done and my brother has been trying for over a month to get almost $2000 refunded back to him that he gave him as a payment, even though they never did any actual work on his truck. All he gets are excuses, or ignored calls. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, they’re scam artists and super unprofessional. If I could give ZERO stars I would. P.S. we still want our money back!

Cody is amazing!!! We are not from the area, Cody was recommended to us by someone passing by. We got a quote quickly, he arrived quickly and got us back on the road! Great communication and quality work!

Cody helped me when my car needed service. I had to get an oil change, tire rotation, and the works. It had been awhile since my last service, and while we were taking a look at the vehicle, he noticed a few things that could do with some work. My power steering pump was leaking all up into the alternator and my belt was worn and chipped. He explained to me what these mean and why they can be an issue, as well as a timeframe or outcome should I choose to not get them serviced. He also broke down exactly how much parts and service would cost for each thing done. I went ahead and got the belt and power steering pump swapped out as well. He would also inform me about other maintenance issues for down the line (this can be done every 75,000 miles, take a look at it at this mileage, etc.) Later that day, while inspecting my brakes, he saw my brake pads had only a couple months left in them, and called to inform me. He also offered to have me come inspect it myself since I was not present if I wanted to. I decided to get the service done and he gave me a discount on the brake pads since I was already doing so much with him.When it was all said and done, he even offered to deliver the vehicle to me, and had also said he can do vehicle pick ups if needed as well. This was all serviced in the same day too! Had the car to him around 1:45, he had all the service done around 7:00 that night. Tires and fluids checked and topped off if needed. The man is a great help and is sure to give you a good, reasonable price, especially compared to some other mechanics. SHSU Grad and man of the community, hell give you a hand with all your auto needs for a good rate.

I had a great experience with this mechanic. Cody was very friendly and transparent about the diagnosis and the steps along the repair. Thanks to him and his team, I was able to get back on the road within a few hours after a scare with my check-engine light. He even provided me with diagrams and resources in the event I needed to fix a future issue with a mechanic closer to home.

Took my truck to him and it sat there for 2 months without being worked on. Lies about when it will be done and is horrible at communicating. Took my truck somewhere else. Makes you pay before the work is done and have been trying for over a month to get almost $2000 refunded back to me that I gave him and he never did any work for. I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone, super unprofessional.

Easily the most transparent and friendly auto repair I’ve ever worked with.I’ve had issues with my break lights for the last 6 months and went to multiple mechanics who replaced the bulbs (only the easy ones) but never mentioned the underlying issues.Cody quickly identified the issues my lights and wiring had, gave me reasonable pricing, and on top of that even delivered the car to me when it was done.I’m looking forward to coming back, the quality here definitely beats any chain auto repairs

Very professional, the work was completed very fast, keep me informed of the work being done, even picked me up when the work was done to retrieve my vehicle!! Pricing is very fair and work done correctly. They have real heart here! I’ll forever go here if anything ever come up with my car and reference them to anyone that needs service!

Amazing service & very helpful guy!

On my way to take my car from him. He’s had our money and our car for a week and has not touched it. This was to fix it right from the first time he had it that he wasn’t able to get it right. . Of coarse he “can’t “ refund our $180.00 for not doing not a f#*,#*g thing to it. The first time it cost us $660.00 . The ac/heater switch quit working. Thank you Cody. You definitely are not a mechanic. Save your money people unless you can afford to give it away to people like Cody. I will put a bad word out for you everywhere I can.

When every other shop in Huntsville was busy, this was the one shop that could take me. I was super sketched out and unsure of the business as its a sketchy looking building, but I promise its worth it! Cody at Car Doctor is now my go-to mechanic! Hes fast, extremely affordable (Im a student with a child and I could afford him), and all around just a nice guy. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

This guy is a scam artist. Never use him. He scammed myself and my mother out of over 3,000 to fix my car. Stay far away!!!!

My friend took her car to this place! “This team is not honest about how long they will need to work on your car, and when you decide you want to pull your car they do not send a refund for labor…. even if they don’t finish the job” she said they only told her what with would need to be done on her vehicle and that’s it.

Cody is by far the best mechanic in Huntsville!!! If you want someone who is going to give you good prices and honesty come here💯💯💯💯💯 he also has awesome food suggestions!! The oxtails from next door were to die for

My college son is in Sam Houston and Cody went to help him in 15 minutes. He had the truck towed to his shop and took care of business for a reasonable price.

Has fixed up my car three separate times and is the best In town!

Everyone was nice and polite.

Me and my fiancée just moved to the Huntsville area and started having car troubles about a month ago and didnt know where to go for good service. Cody was extremely helpful right away and since my car wasnt able to start he came to meet me to diagnose the issue. He was honest about his prices and had no problem breaking down the issue in laymans terms so I could make the best decision. He dropped the car off and brought it back before the end of the day and even fixed an issue with my radio to prevent further issues. If youre looking for a kind, honest repair man Cody is your best bet! Fingers crossed we have no more issues but Cody is our go to guy from now on!

I highly recommend this place, Cody was extremely helpful. We arent from this area and all the other mechanic shops had week long waits. Cody helped us out right away. He is very knowledgeable and priced accordingly. Thanks again Cody!!

Im from katy and if it were not for cody I would still be stranded in Huntsville. He was the only mechanic in town willing to help me get home even tho it was Christmas eve and he had plenty of clients ahead of me. He is a literal life saver and I cant thank him enough that because of him i am home with my family for Christmas and my car is A-okay!!

This wasted my time and money he said he could fix my car from overheating and it was a two hour job he had my car all day and it is still overheating. He also said he had to get more stuff and charged me for it. This was the worst experience I ever had. To add on he said it was going to be another $200 to get som blue from autozone. I would never go to him again

I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW THANKFUL AND BLESS I AM FOR THE CAR DOCTOR, CODY!! 10/10!!! Listen y’all, it’s Friday Night and my husband, 6 year old son and I are from a small city outside of Houston. 2 hours away! Driving to Dallas for a mimi get away. When we run over a big iron rod in the middle of the Highway that put a hole the size of a quarter in my oil pan, leaking oil everywhere!!! We did not even know we had a leak until We made it to madisonvillie, which is about 30 or so minutes past Huntsville. We turn around and start heading to Huntsville to fine a repair shop. We called EVERYWHERE! Every place was closed or could not fix it until Monday. I kid you not I found car doctor on my google maps randomly and gave them a call... Cody answered right away and was instantly helpful! He met us at the local oreilys since it was after hours and inspected our car. Gave us full detail of what was wrong, charged us for the parts and labor of course, very good pricing! but honestly I don’t care about pricing. This man stopped his life, on a Friday night to help out my little family so we wouldn’t be stranded away from home. I’ll forever be grateful for Cody for helping us this late at night and being so respectful and kind hearted. They even gave us a ride back to their shop when our car was ready... seriously such great people. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone!

Cody was very helpful late in the afternoon. We were having a hard time getting a belt replaced and he helped us get the car to his shop, then put the belt on for a very reasonable rate when no one else was able to help us! We will be back for all our repairs at this shop!

The service was beyond excellent Cody informed me of the car issues every step of the way which is incredible. Their prices are very reasonable, timely repairs, and honesty I highly recommend this auto repair shop.

This guy got no clue to how even install a simple belt, took him 2 days, to install one, and he ending damaging the car, ! Do not go there.

We were traveling on Hwy 45 on a Saturday, when our 6.0 Diesel truck laid down on us. We had Roadside assistance towed our vehicle to the Car Doctors. The outside of the shop wasn’t much to look at but Cody helped us find a place to park our travel trailer while they worked over the weekend to fix our truck. ( Sat and Sun)They had to install fuel injectors and fix some needed repairs. Cody kept us informed on the repairs, by texting pictures of the old parts, plus progress of the repairs and the re-install. Labor charges and the number of hours to do the job were very reasonable.

Horrible service. don’t recommend at all.

Very good and genuine mechanic, got work done time and didn’t overprice for his services. Went above and beyond by offering to come pick me up to get my vehicle

Cody always does a great job

Great helps and works with you

I have a 2004 Ram 3500 5.9L that had an engine belt torn in half due to a broken tensioner; while driving on the road. At the time on a Sunday, they were the only ones open. I called and they told me I could bring it in. I drove it over there and they charged for parts and $60 an hour. Turns out they also found my engine has a belt that is 6 inches longer than the manufactures specifications, due to trying different size belts that wouldnt fit, and arguing back and forth with Autozone. I found that interesting. Anyway, theyre hard workers and will get the job done right, I recommend them!

Cody is the absolute best, we had some tire/something problem and he was willing to come to us to look at it since we did not want to drive it anymore in fear if doing damage. Come to find out SOMEONE loosened a of our lug nuts on the front tires... thanks Cody for trying to help us

All I will say is I will not use ever again!

GREAT GUYS DO GOOD WORK

The worst place I have ever been to..this isnt even a shop its a house..Very non professional and smokes weed in your face. Didnt even fix my car and had it for a week. Do not go here trust me!!!!!!

Great customer service these employees are great!

First of all I want to thank Cody and Brandon crew had been looking for a honest diesel mechanic they did great work on my truck and understood my schedule was tight I highly recommend them for your diesel work on your trucks you won’t be disappointed thanks car doctor.

Wrong address do not go.

They’re affordable and can save the problem faster. I had a good experience with them.

Cody and the crew went above and beyond to solve my car problems. He works with students on price and is transparent about his work. I will always go back

These guys are awesome! Fast and honest! Felt very comfortable with them and their prices are great!!

Over charged for parts and services

Very good mechanic, very fast turnaround and great deal.

Reliable and quick service at affordable prices

Great work and very fast turnaround
