Great service.

My wife and I have used Hondoworks for our auto maintenance for 15 years.  In that time we have gone thru 4 cars, 3 of which were Hondas and one was a Mazda.   Consistently we found them to be honest, up front, and there  work is consistently reliable.  He works hard to save you money, and we have never felt he did work that we didn't want.  In fact on some occassions, we had to convince him to do the work because WE wanted it done, not because it was justified, based on the age of the car.   They are not fancy, but they are worth seeking out, especially if you have a Honda.  If not, it's still worth talking to Arnold, the proprietor, about it.  I'll take my car to him for as long as he's in buisness.

I was at Firestone talking with another customer when we were discussing our Odyssey Mini Vans.  He highly recommended Hondoworks for maintain acne and repairs.  When I needed some work done the dealership quoted me several thousand dollars.  I remembered the recommendation and called Hondoworks.  Arnold told me to bring it in, long story short, they did everything necessary to get the van running great and it was only $800.  I have not used another shop since.  Arnold is one of a very few professionals I fully trust to be honest and truthful.  I have never been steered wrong or left feeling perturbed by the bill.  I did have to take a vehicle back once, recharging the A/C fixed the problem for a few days but it quit working soon after.  Arnold fixed a relay at no charge.  That is unheard of these days.  I take all my vehicles to them now, not just the Honda.  If your in need of an honest garage, don't hesitate to give Arnold a call you won't be disappointed.

Arnold always makes me feel comfortable and safe when i come in. As a female with no car knowledge, I also feel confident walking in alone and not being sold or overcharged for things I do not need. He is very honest and has extremely reasonable prices. I will never take my car anywhere else ever again. Very lucky to have him

Hondoworks is heads above the rest in auto repair. My wife and I have been taking our vehicles to Arnold for almost 15 years now. We drive from Dallas to Balch Springs, which isn't all that far, but would drive there from anywhere to get our cars repaired- even for just an oilchange. The reason for this, is that we trust Arnold and his crew over anyone else to work on our cars. He is more than fair with his prices and always tries to minimize costs to the customer. Although he is very busy, he takes the time to explain the problem thoroughly. He is reasonable and straight-forward.

Arnold and Marina are awesome. They are like family to us, and we wouldn't take our cars to anyone else. And like I said, even an oil change, because I know it'll be done correctly, and he won't try to sell us a bunch of services and goods that we don't need.

I love this place! Arnold is a fair and a very professional business man you can trust. He gave me a ride home and even picked me up so I could pay. Good people still exist in this world and he is one of them.

— Yelp Review

I have been taking my car to Arnold's shop for four years now after he was highly recommended by some of my friends. Arnold and the Hondoworks staff are always honest and offer reasonable prices for the service your car needs. They never recommend maintenance I don't need, like those oil change guys! You can trust Hondoworks to take good care of you and your cars.

My husband and I have used Hondoworks for over 15 years.  We were referred to Hondoworks by a friend and have had nothing but positive things to say about this place.  Arnold, the owner, goes above and beyond to fix anything that is needed.  We have a "family treasure..." it's a 1987 Honda, Accord.  Arnold has kept it running for us!  We also have two other Honda's that we also have Arnold take care of for us.  I highly recommend this place for your foreign car repair.  Everyone who works here is very professional and dependable!  You won't be disappointed!!!

I have a 2003 Honda pilot.  Check engine light and VTM-4 light on for two years. Took my Pilot to the HONDA DEALERSHIP.  They reccommended :  New spark plugs and wires and replace the VTM-4 brain.  $2000.00.  I replaced the the plugs and wires with Honda certified parts.  Still no luck.  After much searching and You Tubing.....no luck.  Finally my sister spotted Hondoworks in Balch Springs TX.  They replaced the EG valve and clean it out.  WHAT A SUCCESS!   My vehicle drives great!  Better gas mileage, and NO check engine light and NO VTM-4 light.  I reccomment this mechanic highly.  It's been a two year headache for me, and so glad I found them.

I had been to 4 different mechanics shops asking the same question, Hondoworks is the only shop that found a vacuum leak on a PCV hose at the back of my engine. Hondoworks has done a great job on my vehicle every time I have taken it to them!! They are Great mechanics, honest, and super helpful. Arnold is extremely knowledgeable, I won't go anywhere else!!! Thanks guys!

— Yelp Review

Arnold is a cool and fair guy.  He is one of the most honest mechanics I've met. he is forthcoming about what is imperative to repair and what you can continue to ride with.  He has repaired 3 of my cars over the past 20 years - Nissan 240, Honda Civic and Acura MDX.  Never had a problem or a breakdown. 5 stars would be a rental car service deal or nearby - but that's not his thing ! lol !

Arnold comes highly recommended!  He is honest and goes above and beyond to take care of his customers treating them like family!!!  I didn't know my vehicle was still under warranty until Arnold picked up the phone to call the dealership I purchased my car at.  I was able to get my alternator replaced for $100 deductible.  Thank you Arnold!!!!!!!

I called Arnold yesterday to see if they did front end alignments bc my Nissan Roque needed one. He immediately told me they were booked for the day. I told it was ok bc I needed one for today, he told me if I wanted to make a appointment. I told yes I need to make it for in the morning. My husband took it in and they did within the 30 minute time frame he had said. My husband was very pleased with his customer service and professionalism. We will be taking our car and we will recommend to all our family/friends bc we need more mechanics like him and his crew. Very reasonable rates. Thank you Hondaworks!!

I am very, very happy to have found Hondoworks.  Arnold is knowledgeable, skilled and honest.  He has saved our family a lot of money.  His customer service is outstanding.  We have been bringing our cars to him for many years, and we are thankful to have found a wonderful repair shop that we can trust.  Highest recommendations!

Quality work, capable and honest, won't over-sell services that you don't need.  I saved $500 from what a Honda dealer wanted to charge me for the work I needed.  These guys know their stuff.

So i had some work done at Hondoworks, i was really impressed to find out that the owner "Arnold" used to be a Master Technician for a few Honda dealerships here in Texas. To me that is awesome as I know I have a Factory trained Honda Tech  overseeing all of the repairs for my family cars. Along with his professional attitude towards my repairs and the really affordable prices we will be sure to continue using this business.

— Yelp Review

Honest, quick and affordable. I'll only take my Honda to hondoworks. Arnold always shoots straight and goes out of his way to help!

LOVE this mechanic shop!!!   Efficient, knowledgeable, rea$onable -- and HONEST.  If more than one repair option is available, you'll be informed.  Arnold Villarreal has taken care of my cars for nearly twenty years, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

— Yelp Review

Hondoworks and their owner Arnold came highly recommended to me by a life long customer of theirs. I first purchased my '90 Acura Legend with intentions on it being a project for the winter,  Hondoworks had me up and on the road in 9 days time and I have been going ever since. Great Service, Fair Prices, far from a ripoff... Thanks Arnold

I have known Arnold since we were kids. I have used him as my mechanic for several years. He runs an excellent automotive repair business the right way, with technical know how, fair prices, honesty, and integrity. He always looks out for your best interests. He has told me when to fix the car and when to bail on it and not spend any more money. I refer everyone I know to him. The only thing I don't like is that he is not closer to where I live. A little inconvenience of a further drive is well worth the service I receive.

Arnold is absolutely amazing! Over the last 20 years, I have thrown a lot of messed up cars at him and every single time he has had it right the first time. I am somewhat mechanically inclined, but no master mechanic. Every time I have been stuck or had a job that was to much for me to handle, he knocks it right out. One thing I respect more than anything is an honest person. I can say, with absolutely no hesitation, that Arnold is by far one of the most honest and down to earth people I have ever done business with. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by to see him, or at least picking up the phone and at least call him. It could be a couple of minutes very well invested!

Arnold is the only reason my car has 250,000 miles on it. I should have had to sell or junk my old Lexus years ago. With Arnold's knowledge and care, I plan to drive my car another 250,000 miles.

I have been bring my automobiles to Hondoworks for over 10 years now and no matter what is done from oil change to changing brakes to having oil leaks / engine maintenance completed I have never had any issues down the road. Arnold is very informative on what the issue is and what it will cost before he does anything and I have found his prices of service to be more than fair. It is so good to have good and fair people to take you car to. Arnold and staff is above the norm I can promise you.

My husband and I have taken our cars for service & repair to Arnold at Hondoworks for many years.    Their pricing and service is outstanding, and Arnold is one of the few honest mechanics you'll find.  I have several friends as well as family members who also use Hondoworks.  I plan to continue to take my vehicles there as long as they are in business.

About 3 years ago, I was having issues with my car. I went to four different Automotive repair places to discuss the issue, and all of them were quick to jump to the most expensive solution probably because I was a female and they thought that they could take advantage of me. Fortunately I knew enough about vehicles to know that there were a half a dozen other things that could have been causing the same issue and didn't waste over $1,000 unnecessary repairs. Then I saw Arnold's shop on Google and thought I would give him a try. His first instinct was let's try the simplest solution first. $75 later my car was running perfectly.  Arnold knows that I count on my vehicle for work, and he goes above and beyond to make that happen for me. I'm really grateful to him and his team for everything they do for me.

Recently HondoWorks has working on my 2007 Pilot and a 2003 Tundra.  I cannot express enough the appreciation for the work done our vehicles.  Both repair jobs very fairly priced, much lower than other estimates, and on time.  It is also appreciated when things are found and Arnold is fair enough to point out what needs immediate attention and what can wait so that I can save up the money and not use credit.  We will go to Arnold for future needs.

Arnold(owner) and his mechanics KNOW what they're doing! I had a 03 Accord which the dealership told me need to have the transmission replaced. According to them that would cost $3000. I took my car to Hondoworks and had a part replaced for $250. Arnold and his crew saved me a lot of money and heart ache. His prices are very reasonable for the work he provides. He has always communicated what he believes my vehicles needed and gave me a fair quote. I will continue to be a loyal customer, because they do good work and stand behind it!!!

I took my 2012 Crosstour in for a couple of issues. The owner Arnold was very nice he even went on a test drive so I could show him what I believed were the problems. He was very honest and straight forward addressing all my concerns.  What we thought was oil issue ended up being a timing belt issue.  Arnold had the best customer service and without a doubt I know my car is much safer now then it was a week ago. I would take it to him again over the dealership no question. His respect and courtesy for his customers shows within the first 5 min of meeting him. I would definitely go back or recommend him if another issue came up.

Have been using Hondoworks for about 20 years. Always fair and good prices. Arnold is great about following up on any subsequent issues and will make things right. About three years ago he rebuilt transmission on my 2005 tl for half of what the dealer wanted to charge. It still runs great.

— Google Review

Good prices and nice people people working there. Got some major repairs done on my 2004 Hyundai sonata and it would have been much more expensive going through the dealer. They actually stayed open late because I was running late to pick it up and would have not had it for a weekend otherwise.

— Yelp Review

Took my Honda Accord in with multiple concerns and they informed me of which service item were a priority and which could wait and the was favoably priced. Recommended to my family and friends.

Arnold has been linked to my family for YEARS! We all take our cars to him because he is the best!

Hondoworks is amazing! I have been patronizing Arnold for over 15 years. He has never failed me. He rebuilt the engine in my husband's Tahoe and he fixed what the shade tree mechanic messed up. Very affordable and same great quality work as the dealership.
