I am starting my review comments, Tex-Mex Auto and Truck Parts, MUST THINK I AM FAMILY.
On January 23 heading to work my 2000 F250 engine was finished at 400,000 miles. Pulling my hair out wondering who could help me get my baby back on the road. Called many mechanics but couldn't find the trust after having a conversation. So, a bright idea came to mind I have been doing business with Tex-Mex Auto and Truck Parts for many years. It was a long shot in my book.
So, I stopped in Tex-Mex Auto and Truck Parts first part of February asking if they could install another engine into my F250 the front desk man I had been dealing with for years said “YES”. Gave me a FAMILY price, just kidding but the price was right. As the work started, I would go by every day, until my mind relaxed saying these are people you can trust. So, I trusted them with more money and said put a transmission in while you are working on motor install. That’s what friends will do is take your money.
Thanks to Tex-Mex Auto and Truck Parts my 2000 F250 is back on the road, and the driver is VERRRRY HAPPYYY. Guess I will see Tex-Mex Auto and Truck Parts, after I have reached another 400,000 miles for engine and transmission.
Thanks,
F250 Man
I was in need of transmission for my 2015 gmc Yukon. They priced me the transmission. And also gave me a install price with warranty. And yes they do honor their warranty. Thank you tex- mex
My dad went to purchase something here and returned it since he ended up not using it. They gave him a “credit” to use it on a future purchase in a form of a receipt. He asked if he could take a photo of it and if that would be accepted when it needed to be used, they said yes no problem. Now that he is trying to use his credit they are saying he needs the actual receipt.
If yall return something make sure to get your money back they will just take back what they said and not give you any credits.
I went into this place looking for a part and noticed they were swapping an engine in an old truck. They convinced me they could do mine too, so I decided to give them a shot. They told me it would take two weeks. Two weeks turned into excuse after excuse—every step of the job seemed to come with a “new problem they’d never seen before.”
Two months later, I finally got my truck back—of course, with problems. Within two days, the check engine light came on. I noticed the fuel gauge was reading backward, the whole thing just felt wrong. I didn’t even want to take it back to them to fix it.
Update: The oil pan started leaking. I figured maybe they hadn’t tightened it properly—even though they claimed to have used new gaskets and sealed the engine. I went to tighten the bolts myself and found two screws completely stripped, just spinning in place. On top of that, the rear main seal needs to be redone, and since their "warranty" is only one month, it’s apparently no longer their problem.
Update 2: They told me they reseal everything before installing any engine. That was a lie. I ended up paying another shop to do it right—basically paying for the same job twice. Now, to top it all off, I’ve discovered the heads are cracked. So not only did they lie and do a half-ass job, but now I’ve got to fix even more damage caused by their incompetence.
I can’t express how frustrating and expensive this entire experience has been. Do NOT take your truck to Tex-Mex Auto for an engine swap. They will screw you, leave you with more problems than you started.
All the 5 stars must be friends and family. Don't trust them.
Have worked with Elias, found all the parts I needed, got them ready for me, pick up went great, Love this place always does as promised and will be using again.!!! thanks would recommend.
Junior and his team had exactly what I needed. The employees were great to deal with, and the store and yard were very organized and clean compared to many others I visited in the area.
Replaced my engine in my Ram 5500 and communications went very well with manger Jr. Worked on every issue with my truck until I left very satisfied. Good work fellas!
They Always have what I need and gives the best customer service everytime I go. Always will be my #1 go to when I need parts in best condition⭐️✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ask for Jr. -- he is quick and great with customer service! Did a full rear differential axel swap on my Ford and they took care of me! Highly recommend!
They said $20-$50 for used tires I drove 30 minutes to go out to look for this tire and came to cash out and they try to charge 100 for the used tire and there tire machine didn't work so rim was still on and try to make me pay for a deposit on the rim alone for $100 so $200.00 for 1 tire and 1 rim I didn't need I wouldn't go to any TEX-MEX SALVAGE YARDS.. BE CARFUL
