E & L Auto Services & Repairs

Eddie is a good guy but his work is not of high standard. He will sell you on the cheaper option on the repair instead of fixing the problem. I made a mistake letting him work two of my cars and they both have check engine lights on now with the same issues.

If you have never listened to the advice of someone who has told you to stay away from a crooked person/situation, it’s time to listen to all the numerous bad reviews about this shop owner. He is shysty and a crook just as described by his customers in the reviews. I took my car to him because a manager at the parts store in Cedar Hill referred him. I listened to this shop owner proclaim how proficient and expert he was in all things auto repair… I told him how another mechanic had kept my car over one month, damaged parts that were on the steering column cover behind the steering wheel where he performed work, etc. Eddie said that he would order new parts (steering column cover and door handle), and fix the lights that the first shop messed up. He charged $500 and required me to pay $300 upfront. He had the car over 2 weeks. I called to tell him that I needed the car… Around 2 or 3 days later, he called to say the car was fixed and ready for pick up. When I saw my car, I was shocked and upset. Eddie had replaced the steering column cover with a used column cover from a junk yard. The cover was not the right cover to fit my year/model car. He sawed holes in the used steering cover to make it fit over the turn signal lever and the steering tilt adjustment lever. Then he put screws in and zip ties around the 2 pieces to hold the top cover and bottom cover together around the steering column which was not the correct part and was not new. The glove box was shut. When I opened it, it would not stay closed. Another item that was not fixed. The reverse lights still did not work. The shop owner said that I would have to pay him or he would keep my car. He said after 30 days, by law, he could sell the car if I did not pay him. He did not do the repairs as agreed but, wanted to get paid anyway. His work is not good, he overcharges, he is dishonest and lacks integrity! BEWARE!

Last year my car started stalling while I was driving. I brought my vehicle to E&L Auto for repair. Eddie changed a fuse (charged 300 dollars) and said my car was fixed. Maybe 6 months later the problem resumed. I returned to E&L Auto and Eddie said my problem was now an oxygen sensor. I allowed him to change the sensor and oil change (350 dollars total). ONE WEEK LATER, not only did my car stall (on I-35), it started over heating, leaking oil and my engine started making a rattling sound. I returned to E&L Auto again. Now he was claiming an entirely different reason for my car's problem and wanted to charge me over 300 dollars again to fix it. I refused to let him touch anything else on my car. I feel since I paid the price he asked without hesitation in the past, he was dishonest about my vehicle and just wanted to keep me coming back. He didn't even offer to fix my car at a discounted rate, since he was wrong both times I previously came to him, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DO NOT TRUST THIS SHOP!

I have been a steady customer of Eddie's for the last 3 years. He has worked on my foreign and domestic cars. He has for most part been my mechanic. I commute alot so he works on my vehicles every 2-4 weeks. I have a total of 5 vehicles that he keeps running. I think he is a great mechanic. His prices are decent and customer service is outstanding. He goes out of his way for his customers. I am surprised about the poor reviews. This hasn't been my experience at all. He has repaired alot on my cars. I was referred to him and he has been great.

I brought my car to Eddie and let him know what I needed done. He inspection the needed repairs and called me to let me know what it would take. I felt good with the cost and the amount of time it would take to finish the job. I do recommend E&L Auto.
