Outstanding service, Fast & very professional. Sandy and her team is extremely great and extremely honest and upfront with the repair cost. In fact they even tell you what repairs can wait and does not need to be replaced. Thank you Sandy
My second Google review. This is of great relevance and let me explain why.You can read my first review at CAR FIX CENTER, MAGIC TIRE...Short summary at CAR FIX CENTER: they tried to scam me and insisted that there were almost a thousand dollars of replacements needed in order to pass the state inspection. (None of which were necessary upon bringing it to Auto Check)Luckily, I was recommended to Auto Check where they were polite, professional, and honest. It could not have been a more polar experience.Strongly recommend Auto Check as I write this while waiting for my car.
Great customer service and very fair price, super nice people!
Sandy and her team really go above and beyond to put the customer first. During multiple trips to Auto Check, they have continued to be professional, and they strive to get the job done. There have even been issues that they could have left alone and not fixed or tried to oversell me on, but theyve done their best to make sure my car actually works, and if not, they will go back and make sure its fixed. Truly a great place to take your vehicle.
An amazing family owned small business that believe in good old fashioned values. Great service and they always keep the customers needs first. I would definitely recommend this place for car care. Keep up the great work.
The employees at first colony auto check were so very helpful. They worked me in as a walk-in and got the work done very quickly. I can always count on them to greet me with a smile, get the job done in a timely manner, and provide recommendations for mechanical updates as needed only. I trust them and have been a repeat customer for all of my vehicles, new and old, including rebuilt title vehicles.
I’m from Victoria and was visiting family in Sugarland, when my car failed to turn over. After roadside assistance verified the battery was good, I had to line up repairs. The battery tester recommended Auto Check First Colony, so I called and explained I was 2 hours from home and stranded. Peyton spoke to her manager who called me back and she agreed to start on it right away. After getting the car towed in it was approaching noon. The diagnosis was a bad starter which is no simple repair. I was afraid I was going to be stranded overnight. However, one person went after the part, another began removing the old starter and the job was done by 5:00. I was extremely pleased. The office personnel were great and technicians obviously competent.Highly recommend them
Made me very comfortable while waiting for my alignment. The office and waiting area were clean and inviting. In my book, if a company takes pride in its look to the customers, I’m sure they take pride in the work they do. I even got served a taco! Great place and I will recommend them and be a return customer.
Even though I had to come out of my pocket an arm and a leg for my vehicle to be fixed. The staff was was welcoming, accommodating and they kept me informed thru the whole process. Overall, it was fixed to my satisfaction!
Great friendly service. My truck had multiple issues when first going in and they were able to fix all the leaks I had. When other issues started to pop up I went back and they took care of it all. Great service and fair prices.
My family takes our cars here all the time….they are honest and always do a great job! Highly recommend.
Always pleased with Ralph and team at Auto Check Sugar Land. Done lots af different services with them in past few years.
As a new Texas resident I had an inspection of my vehicle. The service was professional and proficient in time. I waiting area was clean ; I was able to sit and wait.
I’m a handicapped man and I chose to go this place because of happy and honest looking family in photo. So I went to this place with hope that I would receive good and professional service. I want to thank Sandy, the manager and Payton who were very kind and understanding. Also I thank gentlemen name John who diagnosed and fixed my engine light issue fast. Sandy and Payton, those two beautiful ladies opened the door and even opened the driver’s side door for me when I left there. And Ioved the Christian music that they play in the shop! Thank you again Blessings to all in Jesus’ name. I highly recommend this place! Thank you, Sandy and Payton!
I was overcharged over $80 just to put two tires on. I needed two tires replaced immediately and I couldn’t drive my car any further but if I could have I would not have used them. The manager told me they didn’t have tires there, they’d have to order tires but if I went to Discount Tires myself they could put them on. I called for someone take me to go purchase the tires. Discount Tires said they’d put my tires on for $22/tire but I couldn’t get my car there. I came back to pay for the service. The cashier was trying to give me a discounted rate because they must partner with tire shops and auto shops,etc. She couldn’t figure out exactly how and asked the manager and the manager told her put me down as a walk in. They didn’t even try to cut me a break price wise. As a matter of a fact I was also overcharged for some part fee of $34... what parts??? Anyway nothing to say about the actual service but the customer service wasn’t anything to brag about or recommend. I’m sure someone will respond very nasty but they asked for a review so there’s that.
Went to this shop to get an alignment and unfortunately I wasnt able to get it done at the time. Many shops would have done the alignment charged you for it and said oh by the way you need these items fixed as well basically trying to up sale you. This wasnt the case. After getting my truck on the lift it was determined that my alignment wouldnt hold due to needing ball joints and tie rods replaced. Now I know you may be thinking they tried to upsale me but that wasnt the case. My truck has over 150k miles on it and parts like these wear out. The manager told me that they could do the alignment if I really wanted but that it wouldnt last due to the parts that were going or have gone bad. There was no charge and they even recommended other places that probably could do the work cheaper that specialize in those items needing to be fixed. So I cam say when it comes to this shop that they have their customers best interests at heart.
Convenient location and they open early but the communication was lacking. I did not know they were going to keep my car overnight. I work night shifts and accidentally slept through closing time. Even though it ended up not being a big deal, it would have been nice if they had either told me ahead of time they were keeping my car or letting me know ahead of time. They also charged me for parts that I provided. Not a huge deal bc they were happy to refund the money but the fact that it worked out for them does not take away from the fact that there was poor communication to begin with. Hopefully, this was a one time experience.
I’ve been using their services for couple of years now for different issues and have always been impressed with their high quality and professionalism.
I’ve been praying for a place to take my vehicle and found this place. If you are looking for an honest, reputable place to take your vehicle, consider taking it here. I’ll be taking my vehicle here from now on😁
Fantastic workers from the front desk to the Mechanics. top of the line staff. been using them for years and never disappointed.
Ralph & Tammy run a well oiled operation at the First Colony Auto Check. Their prices are fair, they dont gouge you on pricing and unnecessary repairs, and they treat you like you are their best customer every time you visit or talk with them on the phone.I am very happy with the services they provide and we will only take our cars and truck to them for all of our repair and maintenance needs.
Always great service. Professional honest and inexpensive. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to have my vehicle serviced.
Nice and honest people, I will definitely be using them for any of my car needs
An honest car repair shop you would be willing to send your mom to. Everyone there is knowledgeable and provides the services you need and explain in great detail! You cant go wrong by taking your car here!
I loved my experience with Sandy and her team. They took the time to thoroughly diagnose my vehicle concerns and created a plan to address each of them. So glad l FINALLY have a vehicle maintenance team who cares about my safety!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Phenomenal Customer Service by the entire team. Fast, Friendly, Professional and Affordable. Myself Holding an ASE Master Certification for years, Ive been on both sides of the transaction and I can easily say my experience here with Ralph and the team was hands-down the BEST and MOST Professional service that Ive seen by far from ANY Service Center. The work was done on time, quickly, as promised, for a fair price and with a Professional and Courteous attitude that doesnt come easy in these trades. Ralph took the time to explain in laymens terms exactly what was causing the issue and the precise correction needed. I would highly recommend his team of professionals and incredibly CLEAN and WELL-ORGANIZED facility to anyone needing automotive care in the Houston area. Located in the heart of Sugar Land, the service experience youll encounter here is second to none and worth the drive! #yourTEXASrealtor
Professional people. Replaced engine and transmission mounts on 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Running great thanks for everything.
I was referred by a friend to Auto Check and I was blown away by Sandy. She was so helpful, she gave me a car to drive so that I would not be inconvenienced, she didnt charge me for the filters because she said they were clean and unneeded. She was so loving and honest. This old woman needs to watch her money, and Sandy understood that. Her staff was so prompt and thorough. They have a lifetime customer here!!Thank you so much!!
Stop by in the morning for an oil change, friendly service, which is good. They were not busy, so they took my car right away, but the oil change was very slow, took 30+ minutes. Then they suggested I get an alignment, filter replacement, and a light fixed, those took an additional 50+ minutes, so that’s almost 1.5 hours. Only wish they were quicker!
Received state car inspection. Everyone was very professional. Greatly appreciated the courteous and timely service provided. Thanks
They provide customers with a friendly, helpful and professional environment. They also have very experienced technicians who can accurately diagnose the problem of my car and help me fix it. I am very grateful to them.
Perfect service, high-qualified mechanics. Thanks!
Great place for service and repair. They even do a follow up text and call to make sure your still running great!
I love this place. I’ve been coming here for over a year and I won’t take my car elsewhere. They have great customer service and are always welcoming.
I would like to THANK Ralph, Sandy and the Team at Auto Check First Colony for their superlative help, customer service skills, time, patience, and thorough detailed explanation for the required work that was done on my Jetta GLI (12/30/20).Ralph and Sandy took their time and explained to me the benefits and costs for the work that I needed, with NO added pressure to spend more (which was splendid).The turnaround was minimal. At the conclusion, Sandy provided me with a thorough “work invoice” print out and card to contact her directly if I should have any concerns or questions, both of those acts I consider truly beneficial.If your car (domestic or foreign) is in need of any type(s) of service, I absolutely recommend you taking it to Auto1 Check First Colony and asking for Ralph or Sandy, I truly believe that you will be thrilled with their work and outcome.Thanks again,Chris Jones
I am so Thankful for this place. The owners and the manager Sandy are awesome human beings. The customer service is second to no one.
Fast service .... polite, friendly crew
Great experience. Ralph went above and beyond. I was very happy with my visit and highly recommend them
They were patient with me when I was having a bad experience with my car.
Excellent service and true professionalism.
Extremely professional, honored discount from referrals, guaranteed work.
Everybody was very nice. Have to say 1 hell of a clean place. Sandy is a very nice person and not afraid to get her hands dirty. Not sure about prices....i have to wait on that
Good & quick service. Friendly staff. Clean facility.
As always, the safety inspection was done quickly & conveniently.
The staff was very friendly and helpful!
I always pass by, had to bring my car in help of replacing my o2 sensor, it didnt take as long s I was expecting. Took care of me and would come back at this location. The lady at the front desk was awesome, as well
Had a blower replaced at a very reasonable rate and time frame. Also was able to use their loaner car
Trustworthy and great customer service!
My experience was excellent. Very professional, timely, very kind, and phenomenal customer service...
This family owned business is by far the best car service I have ever experienced! They were recommended by my warranty as an acceptable vendor and they met my needs made sure to communicate all needs and got my car back to me in a timely manner! Not to mention they took me home and picked me back up to get a loaner vehicle! Every person I came in contact with was so warm and welcoming I really appreciate this business and what they bring to an industry that often feels shady! Thank you AutoCheck First Colony for quality service!
I was recommended to this establishment from my tire place. As a first time customer I can say this is one of the best mechanic experiences I’ve had in a looong time and I look forward to doing my business with them in the future. Kurt helped to expedite my unexpected emergency situation with promptness and professionalism beyond my expectations. This will be my new go to place for my cars needs and I will highly recommend to family and friends. Thanks! I appreciate a good business!
The whole crew is friendly and honest. I had a large repair done for my daughter’s car and they went the extra step to find out it was a manufacturer defect and got us refunded for the cost.
Ralph, Tammy, Sandy and crew are amazing. Excellent work with exceptional customer service. They are very hospitable and helped solved my issues quickly and efficiently. Not to mention the adorable decor inside the office. Love them!
Ive used this place several times over the last 5 years for simple stuff like vehicle inspection and oil changes, and have put up with them trying to upsell us on things everytime Ive come in, just because it was a super convenient location. However, I took my car there for an inspection this AM, and the owner refused to cover his nose with his mask, and then asked if I wanted to take my business elsewhere when I insisted. Someone who doesnt care about his customers enough to do the absolute minimum to protect their health is not going to have any sense of responsibility in their work.Edit: I have read the owners response. Only a selfish person thinks that he has no responsibility to the people around him. Not covering your nose means you dont care about your customers. Its not a political stance.
Sandy has taken care of my parents for some time now!! We just love her!! She is such an amazing and caring lady who truly cares about her customers! I can’t be there for mom and dad but I always know they are in good hands with Sandy and her amazing team!!
Customer service is spotless. My car was not done right the first time due to a faulty part. But they immediately handled it. Gave me a loaner and fixed it in record time. Overall job well done
Good experience.I waited too long and needed an oil change and dropped in after having to drive from Houston for other business. Google reviews looked good so what the heck, right?I walked in, asked how much a change was and how long it would take.Without answering my questions, they took my name, asked for my keys and gave them to a tech. Then the receptionist(?) turned and told me a price that was way lower than I expected. I was in and out in minutes on a Saturday afternoon.The lady who greeted me was very nice and friendly, everyone looked happy at their job and it was a great experience. I’m sure it isn’t this easy every time or this quick but I’m glad I dropped in and found professionals who do their job well.I’ll be back.
Excellent service and pleasant experience!
Great service for a vehicle inspection!
Very knowledgeable and professional. Came in for a wheel stud replacement but due to the gentleman’s knowledge on suspension and alignment, I decided to leave it up to him to diagnose and fix a strange vibration on my vehicle. Best decision. Had my vehicle in pristine condition just a few hours later. I will definitely recommend and be back for a next time!
Very clean garage, professional and very friendly staff!
Even though not much needed to be done to vehicle due to dealer warranty. Sandy made everything great. She was amazing and very sweet. Will be bringing both my vehicles here when derives is needed.
3 hour oil change. Enough said.Update since your reply:First off, I STILL have a leak which only started after you touched the car. Now i must go elsewhere and pay for fix your lazy work.Secondly, you simply said i was next in line. You never mentioned it would be a long wait... it was an hour before you even started on my car. It was at the 2.15 hour mark that you discovered you needed the washer. And its BAD business to squeeze people in if it means turning a 20 minute job into 3 hours.
Came in for a routine inspection. Easy to make an appointment over the phone and work seemed good. Wouldve liked the employees to be wearing masks. This was a day before mask order went into place in Fort Bend. Customers were wearing masks though (yay!). Hopefully they have complied as well.
Been coming here for years. They are always nice, accommodating, and reasonably priced. Mostly though, honest. I always know I can trust whatever they recommend, and that theyll do it right. I no longer work nearby, and there are several places closer to me now. But I like the way they run their business and how they treat their customers, so its well worth the drive!
Friendly,knowledgeable, and reasonable pricing.
I already left a review about Auto Check First Colony but I want to reiterate how good they are. As I said before, they might not be the cheapest (not over prized either) but you will be hard pressed to find a more honest shop. They give very honest opinion about your issue, they try to find parts at the best possible price and only use good parts, they take responsibility and stand behind their work and you will walk out of there feeling good about them. Unfortunately I have been at their shop a little bit more frequent lately than what I would like, I got an older vehicle so it is to be expected, and two times I heard an employee ask a customer if they wanted to safe some money and then offered an opinion or an alternative as to how to tackle their issue. Ralph, Tami and their crew are top notch.
Our 2006 Honda Odyssey was rear-ended. The folks at Auto Check made sure to repair not only the visible damages, but also the hidden damage to the parts under the rear bumper/tailgate area. They worked with the other drivers insurance company to facilitate all the required repairs. The people at Auto Check are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. We love them!!!
Sandy was very informative and professional. I was not inconvenienced at all due to loaner vehicle. My vehicle needed major repairs that were costly but Sandy was able to soften the blow.I appreciate her compassion especially in this dismal time of uncertainty.I will recommend to others.
Im going to this place for over 10 years and I definitively love it. Love it. Owner is awesome. Service managers are awesome. They take good care of us. Superb!!
Auto Check’s service was completely flawless. As a lone female entering an auto shop you always worry a bit about how you will be treated. Sandy was my customer service agent at auto check and she did everything in her power to make sure My vehicle was taken care of and that it was done to my 100% satisfaction. I will use Auto check in the future, again, and again, and again!
I have never met a nicer set of people than Sandy and Ralph. I blew out my tire on a curb, limped into their shop after a referral and they took care of me better than I had expected. What put them over the top, was how they took the time to show me where my problem was and what needed to be done to fix it. If youre ever in the need of car care, you MUST give Auto Check a try. You will not be disappointed.
My partner and I have been here a couple of times and they did excellent work for each of us. Plus the shop was really clean!!!
All of the staff are friendly, easy to talk to and proudly support the military and first responders. We shopped rates and found their prices are competitive.Sandy Gaines (front desk manager) helped us find alternatives in an effort to control cost. She diligently found a path that cuts our cost in half. This is especially helpful as we have a newborn and hospital bills are on the horizon. Every dollar counts.
Typically going to get to an auto repair shop is a bad experience, you’re either there because something is not working or get bad news during routine maintenance. We all want on our vehicles to be reliable because we depend on them daily; they have to be working and safe!Ralph, his wife Tammy, and staff at Autocheck are awesome to work with! The most important thing is I believe them to be honest. We all know vehicles can be expensive to maintain but Ralph and Tammy make the process as pain free as possible. They will give you a ride if you need to drop off a car or have loaners available (plan early). Supporting a family run business is my preference too.
I take all of my cars here. The turnaround is insane! Quality work well worth the fair prices charged. Rick, Sandy, and the owners Ralph and Tammy are great genuine people. It’s like one big family. Keep up the great work you guys.
Great services with very nice owners. Would highly recommend
Sandy and crew are amazing. We are grateful for their honesty and really good work. We wouldnt trust the care of our vehicles to anyone else.
The BEST experience! If I could give them 6 stars I would. Ralph and his team were very helpful, they are very knowledgeable and treated me like theyve known me for years. The work they did on my car was perfect. They were fast and got it done right! This is a place were you should want to bring your car! Its in great hands. Im definitely going back again. This is our new shop for our vehicles from now on.
This is my second experience with Ralph and Tammy, but will not be my last. They are honest and professional and have no interest in charging the customer for anything unnecessary. Highly recommended.
My 2009 Toyota Sienna received a 4-wheel alignment at Auto Check First Colony on 8/15/2017 and underwent repair of the rear right contact shim on 11/15/2017. The car was brought back to the shop for alignment check on 3/21/2018 and 8/3/2018. During both occasions, adjustments were made, and the shop honored the warranty without charge. When the shops online scheduling did not work due to glitches, Ralph was always responsive in acknowledging the feedback as well as taking appointment manually. I almost forget to mention that the waiting area and the restroom in the shop are so well maintained that its a pleasure to be there. Thanks Tammy & Ralph, I appreciate all the good work that you do!
Under new ownership.My wife tried to take her car in a couple of years ago and was given the cold shoulder. She felt they were talking down to her because she is a female. I had to take the car in but had no real complaints. Service was average at best but convenient.Fast forward to last Saturday.I took the vehicle in to get an inspection and could immediately notice the difference when I walked in. The new owners went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and to get honest feedback about what could be improved. I was also impressed with their warranty on many of their services and parts. Plus, they now have loaner vehicles in case you need to run errands while waiting for your car to be serviced. Very convenient and shows they understand that their customers time is valuable as well.It is nice to see a family run business where the owners know the value of good customer service. We also like to be able to support a local business.I will be taking my car here from now on.Update 10-19-17: Ralph has done a great job with this place. If you need a local service place for your vehicle, I highly recommend these guys. I still take our vehicles there.
Great tune up on my Super Duty. Gas mileage increased from 13 to 16 mpg!
WOWED by the amazing customer care and fantastic service I received today. From the initial phone call with Tammy and Ralph, to the courteous service techs and the attention to detail I received, 5 stars actually seems too few!!! I had previously gone to another shop who misdiagnosed my cars issues and quoted a ridiculous amount and am so glad I have found a wonderful place to bring my car with Auto Check First Colony.Auto Check First Colony set my mind at ease and my car now drives as good as new. I will return for all my service needs as well as recommend to all that I know. Customer for LIFE!!!!
Im a man of few words and those words for this Auto Check are: Exceptional service, honest, knowledgeable diagnosis, fair prices. Stand by their work. My car is a 2001 BMW but I would recommend them for any make or model.
Fantastic customer services and awesome hard working people. Did a great job working on my car and definitely will come back again.
Good service and great customer relations. Stopped in Saturday am without an appointment, and my battery issue was taken care of while I waited. I’ve used Auto Check First Colony for the last year or so & the service has been excellent. Price is right too.
They were incredibly courteous and went several extra miles to not only diagnose and fix the vehicle, but also to help me get it to the shop in the first place. Very impressed with Ralph and Tammy who have a long term view of customer service, not just making a quick buck.Great first experience with them! (and I dont say that lightly)We will be back!
The business owner is very honest, courteous, and professional. I wish we had more small businesses like this one. Ralph, the owner, is a true American with old fashioned values. I would trust him 100% percent. Serving his customers with compassion is in his DNA. THEY ALWAYS DO MORE THAN EXPECTED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!God bless Ralph and his family.
Great staff and very clean place. Very good place to go.
So much peace of mind with this shop. Extended family and I come here to get our cars maintained. It’s a wonderful thing to have such a trustworthy, reliable, courteous, and pleasant shop to go to with our vehicles.
Best oil change service Ive ever had. It was a bit of a wait even with an appointment but the staff was very courteous and were very honest about services needed on my vehicle. I dont plan to use another place as long as I live in the Sugar Land area.Updated review on 10/11/2018: If Google allowed for a 6/5 star rating I would do it. The personal service Ralph, Tammy and their staff provide is the best auto service Ive had over the course of 10 years driving. There are not enough independently operated auto service shops around these days. If you are in the Southwest Houston area bring your vehicles here.
My car had an emission system light up so I brought my car here for a checkup. The service was great. They were really nice and friendly. Ralph found out what the cause for my emission light was and explained it to me. He said if it happens again, he can take a look at it for free.
I was referred to Auto Check off Lexington and Dulles by a good friend. I have been taking both of my cars there for inspections, oil changes, tires, tire rotations and brake jobs for 3 years now. It is out of my way, but it is well worth it for me. I know I can trust Sam, the owner, and his team to do these jobs correctly and in a timely manner. Sam is very nice and honest. I have seen how caring he is to all his customers, especially his repeat customers. I have since referred other friends, and they too have been very happy with their service.
These guys were absolutely awesome! They were convenient on my way to work and got me right in and out. I got there a little early so not quite 7 and they didnt make me wait. Everyone was so hospitable and personable. Im definitely going back. Sean gave an excellent first impression and everything else just followed suit.
I got my BMW issue resolved and I am very happy with the work they done. The staff are very kind, professional and knowledgeable!
One of the best auto shop I have been too, great service and reasonable pricing. You do have to make an appointment but they are fantastic! Love their job and their respect!
As a Sugarland resident, I feel really happy and grateful to have a family oriented and well rounded business where customer service is not a tag but a value. Auto check First Colony thank you for the prompt service and kindness of a your staff.
The team here is so friendly. My husband and I bring our vehicles here for oil changes, tire rotations,etc. Love how they map out the basic maintenance that needs to be done to keep our cars running in great condition. And theyre great at addressing any concerns I experience with my car, grinding or humming, they pin point the issue. Thanks guys!
