Best auto repair shop Ive ever been to. What makes it unique is the owner, Fred, who is a certified Toyota Master Technician. Fred opened this shop after many years at an auto dealer. He got tired of working for dealers with poor ethics, i.e. being pressured to perform unneeded services to increase the price of repairs. So he struck out on his own with a mission to provide honest service at a dealership-level but at a lower price than dealers charge. Fred is not necessarily the cheapest but youll save money in the long run. Example: my factory-installed car alarm started going off at random times but most frequently at 3-4 am. Looking it up online, I found hundreds of other customers with the same problem. They were paying hundreds of dollars, even thousands, with dealers and repair shops trying to get it stopped. I took my Camry to Fred and relayed some of the advice and feedback from other peoples experiences. He listened but didnt seem to think much of that advice; just said hed investigate. Called me that afternoon; thinks he found the problem. Cost $50. Yep, he had. 7 mo. now and no 3am wakeup calls from the car. Back to unique: Fred is so outgoing, friendly and social. From the first time I met him 2 years ago, when you sit and talk to Fred, you feel like youre talking to a friend. Maybe even a brother (but a brother who is highly skilled in his field, not an idjit like my brother). I could have written this review 2 yrs ago since nothing has changed. Fred and his son Casey who works with him are a small, family-run business that treats every customer honestly and fairly. Yeah, I recommend this place for auto repair. Just keep in mind, you need a Toyota, Lexus or Scion. Dont being anything else. Fred will tell you youre better off finding someone else since Toyotas are what he knows and has specialty tools for. Good luck. And if you go, tell Fred that John said hi! :)

If you have a Toyota, Lexus or Scion in the HEB area, you really should do yourself a huge favor and take your car to TLS Auto Specialist. We have a 1996 Toyota Previa SC van with over 181,000 miles on it so I didnt want to "just take it anywhere for service", and quite honestly I believe the dealership is overpriced. I came across Freds business while doing some internet research and called him up. We talked for about 30 minutes and we arranged a "shop walk through". Yes, I wanted to see his place before they touched my vehicle. I believe how a shop looks says a lot about how thorough the person working on the car will be, and Freds shop was spotless. After the walk through, I arranged for some work to be done. Fred replaced the Supplemental Accessory Driveshaft (SADS), the water pump, and completed a full tune-up. When I went to pickup the car. I asked to see all the old parts, and Fred happily, invited me into the shop area where he had all the parts on a mobile cart. As I picked up the old parts to look at them, he proceeded to show and tell me all the reasons that particular part was replaced. Since that time, I have had some more work done, and every time the service has been the best. Because of the amazing service, and exceptional wok quality, I will not take my Toyota to anybody else. TLS Auto Specialist has my five star rating. Some people say, great automotive service is dead, to that, I would say, then you havent taken your car to Fred at TLS Auto Specialist. Sincerely, Robert F. Morrow

My 07 4Runner with nearly 300k miles was leaking near the front axle from the differential. I wanted a Toyota specialist shop since I dont want to pay dealer price. I have only taken my truck in once for repair, and that was at a Toyota dealership for a wheel bearing. Found TLS not far away, called them up, talked to Fred, he asked to bring it by. He knew exactly what was wrong with it. Going in I knew my car had a long list of over due maintenance needed to be done. Fred called me the next day, told me the cost of the repair, plus what maintenance needed to be done. He was very honest, he will not ask to do things your car does not need. He says my brakes and transmission fluid are good. I knew my tranny fluid was still good because it was done at the dealer. Most shop will ask you to do it even if its still good. Their price was very reasonable. Knowing my truck needed to be done anyways and I got 2,000 mi trip coming up, I approved all those neglected maintenance to be done. Now my truck feels better, switching into 4WD is much smoother and faster. It use to take couple min and speeding up / down for it to kick into 4WD. TLS is my go to shop now. All my family members own Toyotas, they will be getting our business.

Im glad I found TLS Auto Specialist! I have a 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Ext Cab, 6 Speed Manual Transmission. Of all vehicles Ive owned its my favorite. Unfortunately I blew a head gasket on account of a faulty belt installed by a Toyota dealership. I am not saying that the dealer did me wrong, but I am saying that I am glad that TLS Auto Specialist is right down the street from my home. Since I was out of warranty from the belt replacement, I took my truck to TLS. Fred (the owner) turned out to be a very knowledgeable and experienced Toyota Master ASE-Certified Toyota Technician. He did MAJOR work on my Tacoma. He replaced the head gaskets and every other o-ring on that 4.0 L engine. This work was done a little over a month ago and my truck today is in PRIMO status. I have 86K miles on my truck. My goal is to drive it to 200k. I think that bringing my Toyota to TLS will enable me to achieve this goal with reasonable cost and peace of mind. After all, I bought a Toyota because I wanted style and longevity. I think TLS can help you achieve that if you own a Toyota, Lexus, or Scion. I definitely recommend anyone to consider TLS Auto Specialist for your Toyota, Lexus and/or Scion.

The place to be if you have a Toyota or Lexus. I have a 2002 Lexus IS300 that I recently had a check engine light come on. I took it to Fred at TLS and he diagnosed it for two days. He finally found out that there was a small vacuum hose disconnected from the air box. All he had to do was hook it back up and I was on my way with no big repairs! I took it to a different shop before Fred and they told me I needed to have all kinds of things replaced for over a $1000! Fred only charged me for the diagnostic tests, which was about $80. Also, over the last year I have spoken to Fred on the phone a couple of times about problems I was having my Lexus. He gave some advice on what to do to fix those issues on my own, which worked to fix the problem. Fred did this before I ever spent a dime at his shop or ever even took my car in to him to work on. You cant find any repair shop that will treat you with that much honesty and respect. I will only take my Lexus to TLS. And they do have the nicest waiting room!
