What clients say about G.O.D.S. Auto Service + Diesel+Transmission+Muffler in Corpus Christi (TX)
2004 VW Jetta TDI, a car that many mechanics don’t have the specialty tools/ knowledge to work on. The owner Eli is THE MAN, he was very familiar with the TDI platform and knew right away what I needed to get the car back on the road. GODS lived up to its name and he had my transmission Dropped, cleaned, new clutch, flywheel, and all associated parts replaced within 24hrs of me dropping off the parts. He also was able to find OEM CV oil seals that the dealer couldn’t locate. Overall I have never been more pleased with a mechanic!
I don't leave reviews to build rapport with an establishment, or if I'm asked to leave a review. My reviews are strictly reserved to give data to my fellow consumer so that they have enough information to make an informed decision.
That said, when I tell you I cried...I literally cried after eight months of being talked to like a moron and then finally being spoken to with respect by Elias.
A large dealerships service department talked to me like a moron. A nine bay chain mechanic shop...talked to me like a moron. Elias was respectful. Elias was also the only one who found a solution to every problem presented... including logistics.
The only downside to this establishment is limited parking. However, same goes for my favorite bakery because so many value their product and service.
Wish I could give more than 5 stars.
I was driving home when my car suddenly left me stranded. Car would not turn on, so I called G.O.D.S, the owner Elias assured me they would make time and room for my car to be checked out. Car was towed to the shop at 1:30pm and no kidding by 2pm the issue was solved and I was ready to be back on the road! My issue was so minor that elias didn’t even want to accept my money. Though I could have handled the issue myself after their help, I refused and had them fix the issue anyway! These guys went above and beyond for me and I’m confident they will do the same for anyone who chooses to bring their vehicle here. Elias is a humble, well knowledgeable and respectful guy. They will be getting business from me and anyone I know who has issues with their cars (any type for that matter) for the rest of my life. I highly recommend you give them a shot!
Broke down Tuesday night in mathis. I called every mechanic Tuesday night nobody answers. So I reached out to elias Tuesday at 8:30pm. Mind you I don't live in corpus. On Wednesday morning Elias diagnose my car. He removed the transmission Wednesday afternoon. Ordered the transmission for my 2022 Nissan Altima from the Nissan dealership. Thursday morning the transmission arrived. By Thursday afternoon 5:00 p.m. I was back on the road. What a amazing job. Warranty with $100,000 miles or three warranty which ever comes first. Thank you Elias for getting me back on the road in 48 hours. Affordable pricing
I went to seven different shops with my truck, some of them having the fanciest of equipment and with floors that look like you could eat off of them. Not one of those shops was able to get my truck going! After a couple of thousand dollars worth of trial and errors! I stumbled across what I would consider the “mom and pop” version of a garage! G.O.D.S auto! In a matter of less than an hour, they knew what was wrong with my truck! And after one day it was fixed! I told the owner Elias what I went through and he literally gave me the best price a person could ask for! The shop may not look like much but let me tell you! The quality of work for the price you pay is unmatched!! I’m a great judge of character and I can tell you right now that the recent low star review is a load of bull! These guys deserve better than for their reputation to be dragged through the mud! I will be coming here from now on when any of my trucks have a problem! -Much Obliged
I have used this company for multiple vehicles. It started with my diesel truck. I had an issue that another mechanic could not fix, wasted a good amount of money. I brought it here, they found the problem and got it fixed for a very reasonable price. On my wife's volkswagen the EPC light came on and turns out it was just $100 fix.
On my ford flex another mechanic told me I needed motor mounts and I took to his shop, he called me back telling me it was a transmission issue. After all his tests and troubleshooting turns out it just needed a transmission flush. The car is running like new. Now he is fixing my ac on my other vehicle. He is very reliable and explains everything in detail. Elias is good trustworthy guy and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing mechanical repairs on their vehicle.
We were on our way to North Padre Island from San Antonio in our 2016 Chevy Silverado when our truck transmission started acting up. We found G.O.D.S Auto Service on the internet. Called and spoke to the owner Elias, he told us over the phone what he could do. Took it to the shop, Elias and his team took great care of us, was done a little over 2 hours, we were able to continue on our weekend getaway.
Very professional Elias is a man of his word he did the work I asked him to on the day he said he would be available to accomplish the task in a timely manner I'm very pleased with his mechanic knowledge and experience I will definitely be going back should his services be needed again
We took my wife’s 2008 Hummer & they worked with us with our Car Shield account. Great quality service with honesty. Mr. Elias kept us informed with all the work that was being done to our vehicle. We highly recommend this shop. He works with Car Shield Customers. The name said it all. G.O.D.’S. Auto Service Shop (Giving others dependable service). Highly recommended!!👍👍
This shop is the bees knees of shops. The owner Elias is a great man, I had issues with my transmission and decided to bring my Van in. Noone wanted to touch my van because of the age of it. Elias could care less, he helped me willingly and happily. At first he wanted to fix alot of things that I simply couldn't afford. I told him my situation and he broke down what NEEDED to be done and things that COULD be done. Once we got everything that NEEDED to be done. My Van drives like a brand new vehicle! ANY other shop would've tried to rip me off and pull the wool over my eyes on issues that didn't matter. The owner understood my situation and helped me out. He's a very reasonable person and is super understanding. Give him a shout, you won't regret it! Easily 5 stars. I don't even really leave reviews but this one is granted. Thank you Elias, R.I.P to your father. God bless you brother! 🙌

This is an easy review !! I live in the Galveston area where a local mechanic Supposedly did some work on my vehicle. I work out of town travel to Corpus and my transmission went out on my vehicle knowing I would be stuck here I needed to make something happen fast to get me back on the road.so I called G.O.D.S auto repair!! he was quickly to respond to my call come to my vehicle and diagnosed it immediately. He towed my truck to his shop for a very reasonable price within hours. He had a complete diagnosis and costs … there’s no need to go to thunderbolt G.O.D.S Put the Yeehaw back in my transmission and got me on the road back to Houston!!! This man was very thorough and even told me what the other mechanic shop messed up on my vehicle… I highly recommend this shop.. Any bad reviews most definitely must be a lie!!!
I called them at 5pm on a Saturday to fix my exhaust. They waited for me to get there, found the problem/s and got back to me Sunday before noon. They fixed my problem quick and were super honest about it. I would recommend them!
Worst car service ever! It is a scam. I brought my Jeep Wrangler Last May for a problem at the computer of the car. He said that he fixed it for $2600. It seemed that he was fixed but after two weeks I had a similar problem and I brought the car to another car service and they told me that the problem was about the same computer that was replaced. So I call back G.O.D.S. to ask if I had a warranty for my computer. They told me yes, so I brought to them. They charge me 3500 dollars because they say that there were other problems. They told me to pay 2500 upfront before the work starts. So I pay and I wait for over five months and obviously the work was not done. They told me that it was impossible to find the piece. So I wanted to move the car to another car service. But to do so, they want me to pay the remaining 1000 dollars even if the job was not done. When I had my car back I brought to a car service and he told me that he has never seen a car in these conditions after a car service. The fuselage box was missing with other stuff. G.o.d.s. told me that he would have given me back the fuselage box and the receipt with all the work. It’s funny because there was no work and obviously I didn’t receive anything. Now the new car service is trying to fix the incompetence and indifference of this guy. I have respect for every persons in this world, but not for him. He found me in a difficult moment and he took joke of me. I believed in him and he lied because he knew that I could be easily scammed. So, if you are undecided, please don’t go to this man. It is a menace for your mental health
These guys here! Are freaking awesome! I drive a Ford 19 350, yes i know a ford. 😏 but this shop literally fixed any issue i had before that weren't fix by previous shop. From turbo, to egr cooler, up pipes, injectors, to bent valves. They got it all and did the job right. Feels better than when i 1st bought it.
We were in town to visit my daughter. She had told me about an oil leak on her car. I looked at it and noticed it was beyond my capabilities and much worse than she gad described. I wanted to make sure it got fixed before I left town the next day. I called around and they were able to take a look at it right away. He diagnosed the problem and showed us what was wrong. He was also good at explaining what was wrong to my daughter, so she would understand. They got the parts and had the car fixed the same day. I can not say enough about the quality of work and the professionalism shown. He did everything he could to meet our needs. If you are looking for an honest mechanic I would give them a chance to earn your business.
I recommend this business 10/10 for honesty and customer service. They respected the fact that we're from out of town with a serious vehicle issue needing to get back to Wisconsin and made it happen for us timely. Very honest fair and friendly. These good people of the south have our full support and recommendation from up north
My family and I, were travelling trough Texas from Quebec,Canada. On Christmas eve 2022, my Diesel Mercedes Sprinter camper van broke down near G.O.D.S. Garage.
The twin brothers spent over an hour repairing my electronic issue and sent me on my way.
They were happy to help me out with my travels and charged me 0$.
We were very grateful for this Christmas gift.
Thanks again!
So to be honest, this place doesn’t look like much when you initially pull up (I mean no offense in any way) but they have a lot of vehicles on the lot and plenty of good reviews, so we chose them for service on my Ram 3500 Dually. The guys working here are honest, professional and at the same time relaxed. They got me a new transmission and noticed an issue the last mechanic did not fix like he was supposed to. They Even took me to and from there hotel since I was without a vehicle. I would 100% recommend these guys if you’re in the area. Cheers
Elias and his brother are arguably the best mechanics in town. They are diagnostic kings! After taking my 05 dodge ram 1500 to three different guys, Elias figured out the problem within an hour and had it repaired by the end of the day. These guys are honest and their labor rates are more than fair. They explain issues to you and never try to upsale anything you dont need. My truck has its problems and every time I took it to GODS. Even when I was moving across the country and needed a major repair in a hurry they took care of me. Mechanics like this are hard to find. I never leave google reviews so believe me when I say these guys are the best!
I have two boys, one has a 1999 Ford diesel and one with a GMC. Elias and his brother have amazed me at the knowledge they have to make the needed repairs to both of our trucks. All the work completed has been done in a timely manner, everything is explained so there are no surprises and they try to keep the cost down while still making sure repairs are done correctly. They care about their customers! This shop truly Gives Others Dependable Service! G.O.D.S.
Elias has worked on multiple vehicles for me and my family. The work is always first rate, timely and priced fairly. All types of work has been finished to a very high quality. Have recommended this garage to friends and have no reservations to continue recommending.
Highly recommend these fine folks here. From out of town and they got my truck in there as soon as they could. They did all kinda work for a week straight on my Duramax and I couldn’t be more pleased. They are a straight up and honest business and would 100% drive 17 hours down here to have him work on my stuff from now on. You can’t compare time and quality these days but these guys are absolutely about quality. Ya pay for what you get and would come back 100 times.
Thanks -Austin
My Duramax diesel was dead in my driveway one morning. The guys at Gods got my truck to their shop fast and quickly got to work trouble shooting the problem. My truck runs better than it ever has before. Great work at a great price from friendly staff. I will defiantly be a repeat customer and recommend their services. Thank you Gods Auto Service
Took my 2500 ram for a full delete, tune and towing mirror installation. I am completely satisfied with the quality of work. Elias showed great customer service and was very knowledgeable. He has a life long customer, he definitely has my recommendation.
Elias did an outstanding lob on my F250. I was worried I had made a mistake buying a Ford with all the trouble it was giving me. He did a total delete and now I’m comfortable driving it again. I have better mileage and don’t have to worry about getting stranded on the road again. Thank you Elias. You did an amazing job at a reasonable price!
