WOW - these guys do it right...! Knowledgeable, friendly, HONEST and fair. DO NOT HESITATE to take your car here - you will get a fair and honest service at a respectable price.My truck stalled on the way to get my annual inspection after it had sat for a few months and the owner Javier and mechanic Oscar pretty much dropped everything they were doing to go pick up a new battery - take me to my stalled truck - install it and take it back to their shop for further review. They offered to just charge me the price of the battery (WOW!) but I insisted they add a charge for their labor and extra effort.After the new battery it was not starting at first but they found a cracked hose and ordered & installed it on the spot! After that Javier drove with me to make sure everything was good and then recommended a catalytic converter flush as the diagnostic was showing something wrong. They could have easily just went the path of recommending a new catalytic converter (expensive) but went the extra steps to make sure it could be due to old gas and just sitting for an extended period. They were CORRECT and after the flush and driving for a few miles the truck felt strong again and passed inspection.I have found my new shop and they deserve it - THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT folks - fair, honest and reasonably priced.THANKS Javier, Oscar and Global Auto Service - you now have a customer for life in me...!!!!

This place is great for inspections. But I live in the neighborhood so take my car there for routine maintenance as well. Oil changes for my old 4Runner are typically around $40-50 and I get a full write breakdown of charges with my receipt. Went today and was told AFTER it was done that it was $70 with no explanation of the additional cost. Will not be going back for anything other than inspections, seems like they just make up a price

Went to get grinding brakes fixed. Waited for 3 hours but it was done. Kind and good folks work there. Recommended by my neighbor. I would definitely go there again.

Just had a horrible experience!Paid $200 to have ac fixed, and my car was returned to me exactly the same way... NOT fixed..even though I had figured out the issue myself was told it was fixed..a,I evacuated,am and recharged...I am fully physically disabled and get heat stroke easily. Also have a 15 mm kidney stone dealing with. Have a baby too and he cant handle 110 in a car! Very unhappy with the service I paid for and didnt receive. Usually Javier the owner makes sure that things are fixed but he has a new mechanic that is NOT doing his job properly. I have now driven back and forth from San Antonio to Global a total of 16 hours, over 4 days..just to have AC fixed and it has not been! Remember Im fully disabled and passing a 15 mm stone! Very misleading as I was assured it was fixed . I will be going in again today to actually have it fixed . If its fixed as promised I will report back.

Great inspection service experience! Just found Global today after a quick google search for inspection service near me... the staff was friendly and professional. They have a comfortable waiting room and even with a few vehicles in front of me, the service was relatively fast. Thanks!

Review №22

This place has no integrity, went in to see if they could see what was wrong on my car but asked them to ask me before making any repairs or doing any work on it, but then they did work on it without letting me know and only talked to me at the end to charge me for god knows what they did. When I challenged them on it the owner came in exasperated and started yelling saying that I wasn’t respecting them and that I just wanted free work, when I had never authorized any work on my car. Despicable practices, have never been treated so badly, skip this place if you have car issues.

Owner is super nice. Go here for low key inspections.

Review №24

Dont come here for your inspection. They cleared out the status codes and then claimed that someone else must have unhooked the battery recently thereby failing your emissions test. The tell-tale sign of this was that the car ran rough at idle immediately after the inspection and corrected itself on the drive home. This means the fuel trims had been cleared along with the Drive Cycle Status information. Then they tell me I have 2 days to drive around to gather the data again when theyre legally required to give 15 days. Blatant fraud. I have contacted the Texas Vehicle Inspection Taskforce.

Lack of communication. Please to owner. Please keep customers informed and do work in a timely manner. I made an appointment for 8 AM. They finally got the car in the shop at 3 PM. Whoa and behold by the time they had the diagnosis the parts shops were closed. A WHOLE DAY WASTED. And Yes Sir, I need my car. Silly question.

They did not attend to me and I came to have an inspection and they ignored me that I had a bad experience, maybe because I spoke Spanish or the truth is, I have no idea but it was very frustrating for me.

Review №57

Today I went to the inspection and the chubby guy who gave me inspection did not tell me that my car is bad, he only charged 100 dollars and he asked me for cash and I asked him why he did not tell me that I had to change my car, he only charged me 100, the man Javier, the owner, does not charge as well as the guy who attended me there today when the owner is not there.

su
Review №58

The service is good, the person who attended me was friendly, but what bothers me is that he charges 20 dollars for the inspection when the receipt shows $ 19.00 and I didnt realize it until I got home. And the next day it was my friend and the same thing happened to her!It is not the quantity but the action !!
