This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
SOUTHWEST PARTZONE AUTO PARTS in Houston, TX scores about 70/100—overall positive but inconsistent. Many praise professional, helpful staff who locate parts fast (sometimes in ~20 min), good pricing and broad inventory including hard‑to‑find items, and a few note smooth installs and a 30‑day warranty; some mention local delivery. Yet recurring serious complaints: wrong or incomplete parts, long waits, poor communication, and refusals or delays on refunds/warranty claims, with reports of rude front‑desk interactions. Yard access and organization feel hit‑or‑miss. If you go, confirm part numbers and terms up front.

PLEASE BE AWARE! Do not buy used or any vehicle parts from this place. I'm trying to fix my car and my dad call this place to see if they had the transmission. My dad was told that they did. However, when we took the transmission to our mechanic to fix the car, he told us that was not a transmission for my car. My dad reached out to them asking why would they sell him a piece that was not made for the car. They said they were going to get the correct part and have ready the next day. My dad didn't hear from them so he called to ask what happened with the part. Long story short, they won't answer our phone calls. We called them from a different number and that's when they finally answer. My dad asked to speak to the owner but he was so rude and ended up hanging the phone. But believe me, they will hear from us in court. I won't let them get away with this.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your Go-To for Quick Parts and Helpful Advice!
If you’re looking for a reliable spot for your car needs, Auto Part Zone (and similar shops like AutoZone) is a solid choice. I’ve visited several times for everything from new batteries to windshield wipers, and I’m always impressed by the selection. They carry a wide range of parts, from their dependable Duralast line to specialized fluids and tools.
The Highlights:
Helpful Staff: The team is usually great at troubleshooting. On my last visit, they even helped me run a free engine light scan, which saved me a trip to the mechanic.
Convenience: They almost always have what I need in stock, and if not, they can usually have it delivered to the store by the next day.
Free Services: I really appreciate the free battery testing and installation—it’s a huge time-saver!
Room for Improvement:
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can get pretty busy on weekends, leading to a bit of a wait at the counter. However, the quality of service and competitive pricing make it well worth it.
They broke the clips to the bumper I needed and didn’t want to give me a refund when I told them I didn’t need it anymore, they also took 2 hours to get my part. If I knew any better I would avoid this place and never do business here
Outstanding and knowledgeable about their invendory. No, not only did he tell me had the parts he walked up to it as soon as I walked in that was impressive. Great cruise. They all communicate seem to be on top of everything.
Three guys sitting at front desk need to work on their customer service skills! Who sends a customer to the back without being accompanied to look for a person named pancho? whom I don’t even know how he looks like. Finally find him only to be told he can’t pull part out because vehicle has no keys. Basically wasted time and gas for no reason. Save yourself and go elsewhere
They are very rude and not polite. There is a small group of employees working there who are really arrogant and very pushy! I ask if I can take it back if it is defective. He shakes his head and says no, as if mockingly! I didn't come there to play games. My time was wasted. Shame on you!
NO NO NO.... THEY SOLD ME AN ENGINE WITH MANY LEAKS .....I called them to ask if they had an engine for my car, and the guy "Cruz" stated they had 2 of them. I drove an hour to get there only for him to say that the engine is still in the old car and they needed to take it out....so that took another day for them to do that..They delivered it to my mechanic...only to discover that it had a bunch of leaks..Now why would they sell an engine like that..and charge people alot of money...They stated it had a warranty...but when I told them it had a lot of leaks and wanted it replaced...that's when they started ignoring my calls...putting me on hold...and things like that ...They told me they would replace it with the other one...but that the other one was in a car as well and at a different shop.........They were supposed to contact me when they pull the other one out..Well that was over a week ago and they never did contact me...I am considering getting legal representation because they do not provide refunds and they is not fair business....They knew that engine had problems and did not disclose that information
Great staff, knowledgeable and friendly. We recently purchased a transmission and they provided the most competitive price available between Louisiana and Texas, which included a 30-day warranty. There were absolutely no issues; it functioned flawlessly. I strongly recommend this company for your auto part replacement requirements.
I recently brought my vehicle to Southwest Partzone Auto Parts in Houston, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and efficient.
When they found exactly the same part I needed, I was thrilled—not only for the convenience but also for the peace of mind that it fit perfectly. The staff was knowledgeable and clearly understood what I was looking for. Their communication was clear and direct, and I left feeling confident I was in capable hands.
I also want to highlight their delivery service within the Houston area—honestly, such a helpful option when you’re short on time or can’t pick things up right away . Plus, knowing they carry parts for all brands is a major bonus. Their 4.2-star reputation, backed by hundreds of reviews, is well deserved .
If you need auto body or mechanical parts and want a hassle-free experience with friendly, experienced staff, Southwest Partzone Auto Parts is a great choice. Highly recommended!
RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! I purchased an A.C. Compressor from these people and they initially gave me the wrong part. I waited 3 hours with my mechanic just to have to leave with nothing done. I tell them I want my money back and they say no because they have a replacement. I go get the replacement and wait another 3 hours for my mechanic to install it. The compressor only lasted for 15 minutes before going out. I call SW back to say "Hey this one still isn't work I want my money back". And they tell me no because they have a replacement. WHY would I get another replacement from a place that only sells junk. So 6hrs and $500 dollars later I am still have no working A.C. This place needs to be shutdown!
They were very prompt with my request. I called it in while I was on the road and they had it ready when I arrived in 20 min. I will definitely be using them the next time I'm looking for a used oart
Bought a transmission, I should have followed my first instinct. They couldn’t find the part. I trusted that they found the correct part only to take to ma mechanic and they said it was the wrong part. When I came back they said they couldn’t do anything because ir was 5 days past the warranty. I told them I understand your warranty but I’m not bringing back because it’s broken. I’m bringing back because sold me the wrong part. They tried to give me another transmission same model. It does not work on my vehicle now I’m out $500 and they won’t do anything to fix the issue.
On March 3, 2025 I entered into the business and observed for individuals looking down on their phone playing games. I had to speak to one of them to get their attention. I had advised them that I was there for a transmission and fender for a vehicle I am fixing, previously I had called them and they informed me, they had my transmission and fender in stock and available. I sat there and waited for approximately 30 minutes until they told me that they did not have my fender in stock and my second option was a transmission that has almost 200,000 miles on it. The staff was rude with myself and other customers, real example given. A guy walked in asking for Alex and the representative rudely stated there is no Alex here multiple times. The guy was mistaken and was referring to a company. It wasn’t until the guy shaken the hand of another coworker where the representative acted decent. I only remained there because I thought they had the part I needed, like they told me. Either way I decided after the purchase I knew I wouldn’t come back.
Zach’s the man to talk to. Got the best price in town for an entire interior. Straight forward, no BS, same price as quoted on the phone. Thanks again!
