I would give higher stars if I could! This is a terrific place for mechanic needs. Extremely professional & polite, communication skills are outstanding, service is quick & prices are MORE THAN FAIR!I had my belt snap on the highway, at night going out of Corpus so I called this place & to my surprise it was open somewhat late, on a Friday!! That was already a plus. Marcus from get go was extremely polite & professional. He explained its best to have it towed & dropped off. He also went out of his way to search for a belt that night, even though, the auto stores were going to close, he also assured me getting it there was the best option both for the car and the cost. His communication was outstanding and put me at ease. Next day as promised, the belt was on & working fine again! I really highly do recommend this place, if you want great service! The customer service there will absolutely make me a returning customer.

I am not from TX and was here visiting my in-laws when my in-law’s car air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. I’m called and spoke with Marcus who told me to come over and he can try charging it. My husband and I drove over and Marcus charged it and replaced a part that was leaking. Service was quick, courteous and professional. The cost was less than we thought it would be. I would highly recommend this business! 😉

I would not recommend this shop to anyone. Id rather Google a YouTube tutorial then take my truck to this place he is very untrustworthy he only thinks about his business and not for his people I would definitely not ever take my truck there again. He will say it needs one thing and turns to find out I check it one myself and nothing has been done. I dont know if this is just to keep his business a float on just Is scamming people for their money.. if there was a NO star option i put it without hesitation. DONT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE!

Im not one to leave much reviews, but after my experience i wouldnt want anyone to go through what i went through at this shop. This was by far the worst shop experience i have ever had. I took in my 2006 f250 6.0 powerstroke because it had a common no start when warm start issue. And it wasnt drastic you would just have to wait about 10 min to start it after it was warm.. other than that truck ran perfectly, until i took it to this shop. This guy sounded like he knew what he was doing, but had no idea what he was doing. He gave me a quote for 2100$ and said it wouldnt take longer than a week and hed have it ready. Well Guy (owner) never worked on the truck till a month later. Then when he did work on it he completely ruined my wiring harness,ficm, and also my radio. After that he had to take it to a ford dealership so they could figure out the problem. And they charged him 400$ to figure out the problem. So what does he do, charges me 400$ more.. took him 4 months to put my truck back together, even when i told him I really needed my truck to tow my travel trailer back. He did not care still took his time. And once he supposedly finished my truck he chraged me 2500 for nothing.. actully the truck was in worst condition it now misfires, shifts poorly, also randomly turns off while driving it .. and when i told him to refund me my money he ignores me and never answers. also be ready for him not to answer any calls ignore you while hes working on yiur truck/car. i would not recommend someone like this to anyone, but you all can make your choice. Also had to pay a tow truck and someone to haul my trailer beacuse of this shop right here.. worst experience ever!!! Never again taking anything near that place!!

I really hate writing reviews especially when I know it can effect a persons livelihood, but Marcus deserves your business and in the spirit of full transparency I didnt choose Marcus auto he chose me because he was a genuine down to earth level headed guy who was incredibly generous. When the clutch in my toyota tacoma went out he was the only repair shop that could get me in that week. He was also $500 cheaper than the 6 other places I called($1100). He also offered to pay half for the cab/uber since he didnt have any loaner vehicles.Im not from the area or even the state, and am highly skeptical of mechanics because of the stereotypes we all know. Which crept into play when the repair of my vehicle became delayed due to outside vendors and parts companies. More communication would have eleviated this worry, but in the end Marcus fixed my clutch and had me back on the road faster and cheaper than anybody else and generously paid $90 in cab fares to get me home and back to his shop. That alone right there should tell you how accommodating and customer orientated he is. It wasnt his problem I dont know anyone in this state to call for a ride. Nor was it his problem I resided 43 miles northeast of his shop, but he showed his willingness to go above and beyond for a 1 time customer by paying half of my cab fares so that I wasnt stranded.The only real negative is this shop looks like a graveyard of projects that will never be revived, and being from MN were a shop that looks like this would be out of business faster than you can slide off a greasy log. Dont let that fool you. Marcus auto repair is a quality repair shop that puts the customer first and foremost and would highly recommend. He is cheaper, faster and more genuinely concerned with your satisfaction than any other corpus christi auto repair shop in town.

10/10 Marcus fixed the Air Conditioning in my truck in one day. :-) He is definitely going to be the only mechanic I ever take my truck to again! Marcus provided excellent customer service and prices.

I want to be clear here so theres no confusion. I called Marcus Auto Repair and Diesel Service on July 4th, 2020. We were surprised to have someone answer the phone and sound somewhat knowledgeable about my 2009 F250 6.4l powerstroke diesel. He told us it wasnt an issue and that if we brought it in on Monday he would look at it right away. He scheduled a tow service to get my truck towed to him that he would add to the final bill which i liked. Tow truck delivered my truck to him on 7/6/20 at 9:30am. I, then, went to meet him at the shop to discuss what symptoms my truck was having. His tools and entire parking lot was littered with tools and taken apart cars including his office/waiting area. He had turbos and shocks and all type of car parts and tools scattered everywhere. I should have trusted my gut when i saw this and taken my truck elsewhere. It shows complete disarray and cleanliness really shows you a lot about a person.As i was leaving he said he would have it fully diagnosed and price for repair by Wednesday, 7/8/20 but he kept saying, Pretty sure its going to be your High Pressure Fuel Pump. Now, granted, i did tell him i wasnt in a huge rush to get my truck back but i needed to know the price of the repairs pretty quickly so i knew if i was going to repair the truck or do a complete motor swap. He assured me that i would have a price by 7/8/20. I left Corpus and went back home to Dallas in a rental car and called/texted several times from 7/8/20-7/10/20. I only got a response when i sent several messages back to back. He told me on 7/9/20 that they planned to diagnose the truck on 7/13/20. I was understanding as I know that you can get slammed and most customers need their cars back ASAP and since i told him I was okay with the repair taking a couple of weeks, i was fine with that.On Monday at 4:30pm, I called for an update to see if he had diagnosed and has a price for me. He, again, told me, only thing Ive done is drain your oil. But, Im pretty sure its going to be your High Pressure Fuel Pump. This shop has now had my truck for 8-9 full days without even running a diagnostic test on my truck.At this point, I immediately called a freight company to go pick up my truck ASAP. I asked Marcus to have my truck closed up, do not put oil back in it, just leave it alone and release my truck to a driver that was coming. on 7/15/20. I was charged $220 to have my truck towed 4 miles (which i was told by Marcus the tow was $85-$95) and for my truck to get the oil drained and sit there for 8-9 days to collect dust.If i could do it over again, i would have paid to tow my truck straight to Dallas and not leave it with Marcus at all. Most of his reviews are for gasoline engines. I would take a guess that this shop is not a Diesel Mechanic as they advertise. If you have a diesel, stray away and take it an actual DIESEL MECHANIC.

This place is amazing. Had my 67,500 emissions service come due on our Dodge Ram and the dealership wanted close to $2000. Marcus did a great job for a much better price.Marcus is the kind of guy you keep on your speed dial because when other places cant help you with an emergency, he will find a way.He saved my bacon a couple times now and prices are always reasonable. Thank you so much!

Very dependable and honest mechanic. Took my 2005 expedition to get the spark plugs replaced. Keep in mind the plugs in these types of engines are notorious for getting stuck. If that wouldve happened the repair wouldve cost more. I honestly thought he wouldve said a few got stuck. There are some mechanics that wouldve done so for an extra buck. But Marcus is an honest man he got the job done in a reasonable amount of time and for a great price. I would definitely recommend him and trust him with any automotive repairs. Thanks Marcus

The local Ford dealership offered a $180 up front charge to diagnose my vehicle, though I was 95% sure my DEF pump was bad. Midas stated they didnt do the DEF work. These guys at Marcus immediately checked that my assumption was correct (and for free) and offered a few different options. They immediately began work and ensured my system was replaced expeditiously.

Review №25

I brought my vehicle in after it locked up and was getting the run around from another shop. He was understanding and between our conversations and his stellar google reviews, I trusted him to get the job done. Instead, he messed with things that were not issues and when I decided not to finalize repairs with his shop, he intentionally set my engine up to hydrolock and flood with diesel. Three diagnostics from the prior shop never mentioned issues with the injectors, he never asked to pull them, never asked to send them to be properly tested, then he tested them on a system not equipped to properly test according to the leading company that tests them, Industrial Solutions, and to attempt to prove a point has damaged several other parts.

A great place to have all your car repairs done in a timely manner and quality still counts. Give them a try on any of your car repairs and the only regrets youll have is that you didnt use them sooner..

After having my mechanic friend help with my oil change he made it a point to ask how my engine bay looked as if I had just drove off the dealership floor...Something about a perfect gasketing project & clean workmanship! Thank you Marcus for an excellent job!!

Marcus worked with us and let us know what had to be done before he did it. He always calls to let us know if he finds any other problems when working on our vehicles. Everything we ever have done by him is top notch.
