Hondoworks in
Balch Springs (TX)

**DISHONEST** Brought in a truck awhile back, specifically due to the front passenger side was leaning lower than the driver side. Arnold assured me that they would fix it. Later that day, i was quoted $1300 to fix the lean as well as other things he recommended. Ok, cool, so i agreed. A few days pass, when i came to pick up the truck, the lean was still there. I asked him why does it still look the same and that this was the reason why I initially came in. He told me that it was my shocks and that they dont repair that, but that what they did repair was also needed. I was like, but that's not why i came in, regardless if its needed or not, he never stated during the quote, that what they were gonna do, wasnt gonna fix the lean. If i knew that, I wouldn't have had them do anything at all. Well, anyway... i bring the truck back since it would rattle and shake when i hit speeds over 60mph. He jumps in the truck with me and we ride a few blocks. We get back and his mechanic spends about 20min on my truck and they tell me its all good. I call him when i got home since nothing changed. He told me that i need to get better tires. I told him my tires had less than 10k miles on them. He then said, it might be a rim issue. Ok, whatever. So now i know hes full of it. I take it to another mechanic who then asked me, why my tire pressure was all off. Some were at 25 psi & 22. Now, i know that when i brought it back, all they did was deflate a few tires in hopes of relieving the shake. And, when i fixed that shock, i was also told that they replaced about $200 worth of parts and that some were used. So basically i was charged $1100.00 for labor. I came to Arnold's due to the reviews, but after spending time with him, i get it. Hes a cool guy. Easy to talk to and a charmer, but this guy isnt honest

They made replacing my engine an easy stress free experience and totally worth it. Since then they have gone the extra mile to make sure everything is good and to take care of me. Reached out to them because I remembered what great care they took of my mother and her automotive needs as she got older and so glad I did. Could not ask for more honest and caring service.

Great work done by Arnold and his staff!! We replaced a transmission on my Subaru. Excellent work, communication and car was ready when promised. Hondoworks, will be our go to shop going forward. Thank you Arnold & Staff

Was looking for a good mechanic and found Hondo Works On Google. Based on his reviews, I decided to take my Honda Accord for servicing. He fixed a valve cover gasket leak For a fair price and got my car back to me the same day. Took my wife’s Acura RDX for a timing belt change and suspension work, and got the same experience. Great service, fair prices, and great customer service. Arnold was able to diagnose and fix my wife’s car when I couldn’t figure out what was wrong it (timing belt and suspension). If you’re looking for a great mechanic, who does great work And goes above and beyond look no further and take your car to Arnold at HondoWorks. It’s a great feeling when you find the right mechanic who does great work.

Hondoworks has done repairs twice on my vehicle. Both times the repairs have been great. They are professional, and have a good turn around time, while doing quality work. Arnold is good at explaining what is going on with the car and the repairs that are needed. Great quality for a reasonable price. And they warranty their work. Highly recommend!

My transmission went out and we had to have it replaced. The guys at Hondoworks are very knowledgeable and efficient! You can’t beat their prices! We were extremely pleased with our experience and will use them from now on to work on our Honda HRV!

We needed to get our timing belt done on our 2018 Honda Pilot. I didn’t want just anyone doing it. They did a great job and for a good $500 less than they dealership quoted me. So I had my son bring his CRV in to get it looked over before going on a road trip. They could have easily taken full advantage of this concerned momma wanting to make sure her baby boy is safe on his first road trip. They came back with a couple of small expected things that would come with a car with over 200k miles on it. No surprises. The a/c had been acting up and we asked them to check it, too. They got it all done and threw in an oil change to boot! That kind of honesty goes a long way with me! Highly recommend these folks!

I located the shop because of the reviews that was left on Google after meeting Arnold I found that he’s a really cool owner and really know his way around the Honda brand so I brought my vehicle back the next day to my surprise. He finished my vehicle a little early, and he called me back the following day to pick it up after running into a small bump in the road that was a little disappointing to me. He really did go out his way to make things better even going as far as performing a service that I did not ask for or was not required to pay for extremely happy with the service I received from the shop and will most definitely return back.

I drove an hour one way just to have Arnold work on my Honda Odyssey. He got our van working in time for our trip to Florida. Arnold worked to make sure everything was done perfectly and our car was running smooth for the trip. Replaced our timing belt and cv axles.

Everybody is really nice they work really hard to get your car done in a desirable fashion and Arnold is awesome. He’s really kind he practices real customer service and he takes really good care of you and your car needs. I highly recommend him and his team for yawls services.

Arnold put a new engine in my 2011 Honda Pilot and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He’s 100% honest; not something you find in many mechanics shops. He kept me updated every step of the way with calls and photos which was wonderful because a body shop had recently held it hostage for 6 weeks and I was a little nervous that it would take longer than Arnold had said. But, true to his word, it was done on the day he said it would be. It runs great and I will take my cars to Arnold for everything from now on, even though his shop is over an hour from my home. The drive is totally worth it and I think you should definitely choose Arnold to be your family mechanic.

Hondoworks was an excellent experience. I have a 2008 Honda Civic that needed a lot of work done. He had the work completed in less than four days and was knowledgeable about the process and repairs. Arnold had great customer service and the final price was reasonable. We can happily say he will be our regular mechanic from now on.

I recently purchased a 2009 Toyota Avalon. Car is in good condition however the air conditioner was not working at all. Arnold and his team at Hondo Works fixed my air conditioner in a very short time frame and at a very fair price. A few days later we took my wife's 2015 Honda Odyssey in for 100K service work and a full tune-up. Hondo Works saved us well over $1,000 for this work. Great price and quality workmanship. So nice to have a mechanic shop that you can rely on and trust.

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.

I've been living in Dallas for a few months and I've been looking for a decent, inexpensive place to fix my car. I usually use Your Mechanic mobile mechanic. I was charged $1126 for the lower front control arm assembly and alignment. I knew it was too much. The next day, my co-worker told me about this place and how reasonable this place is. About three weeks ago, I read the reviews before calling. The reviews are true! Arnold is very honest and very professional, as well as his other mechanics. He asked me to check out what was wrong with the car, which turned out to be nothing. I didn't even need my control arms fixed, but it was found out that my left front driver's side axle needed to be fixed, and threw in the alignment, which saved me about $750! I couldn't believe that mechanic from Your Mechanic tried to overcharge me! I'll never use those F'ers again! From now on, it's Hondoworks for my car. Thank you Arnold!

I have been using Hondoworks to repair my Honda cars for at least 20 years. He has always done quality work at a good price. He doesn’t try to sell or push you to buy things that you don’t need. He is friendly and honest. I highly recommend this shop.

I have taken my cars to Hondoworks in Balch Springs for over 20 years. Arnold is sharp, reasonable, and honest. Recently my Outback required a repair with an estimate of $430 (the dealership’s estimate was $730). Arnold agreed with me that my car had too low of mileage to have such an expensive repair need. He encouraged me to contact Subaru even though my car was 10,000 miles past warranty. I contacted Subaru and they comped the dealership for a “one-time, good will” repair. Arnold forfeited a $430 repair. He knows his stuff and is as honest as the day is long. One time, my car wouldn’t start at DFW airport. I paid extra to have it towed all the way to Hondoworks because I knew I could trust and depend on them.

Arnold and his team at Hondoworks have been taking great care of our vehicles for over 16 years. Not only do they do great work on Honda's, but they've also worked on our Buick and Ford F-150. If you're looking for an auto repair shop with the rare combination of honesty, integrity, fair pricing and pride in workmanship, you'll find it at Hondoworks.

I've been meaning to comment on Hondoworks for some time now, but kept forgetting. I've been using Hondoworks for like 8 years or so with 3 different cars. They came highly recommended by a mechanic friend of mine who works on American made cars and so he recommended me here since they do Japanese cars. I feel Arnold has always been honest and given me fair prices. When I have something wrong with my car that goes beyond most simple maintenance items, I go straight to Hondoworks. I always feel very confident they'll do their best to get my car running correctly at an honest and competitive price. A big thanks to Arnold and all his mechanics!!!

Arnold is an excellent mechanic. I’ve taken my cars to him for the last ten years. He always gives me a good price and honestly tells me what I need to fix so that I can avoid issues. I drive old cars, all of them are 15+ years old; and I never have any trouble. Without an honest mechanic like Arnold, this wouldn’t be possible. Go see Arnold. He’s a good guy and will treat you right.

First time going to this location, and I must say their customer service and knowledge for my 2009 Honda Accord was superb. Arnold (the owner) is phenomenal. His actions match with his words. Arnold even called to follow up to ensure my car was running, and to discuss another issue that needed to be fixed. Arnold is a man with integrity and that's hard to find in a mechanic. Thank you Hondoworks for taking the time out to work on my car. Also, thank you for having reasonable prices for the working class. You just found another customer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
