A Mechanic Who Deserves a Medal (or at Least a Vacation!) If saints worked on cars, their name would be Alex. I brought him the automotive equivalent of a problem child—a Hummer that should have come with a therapist and a priest. Sold to me by a shady car dealer with the morals of a raccoon in a garbage can, this thing had more issues than a soap opera. But Alex? Oh, Alex took one look at my poor, suffering vehicle and said, “Challenge accepted.” He swapped out the engine and transmission like a surgeon performing a heart transplant, all while treating me like long-lost family. He found other issues that needed repair, and man I felt like I was screwed. Every time I panicked (which was often), he reassured me that my mechanical disaster would soon be roadworthy. And let’s talk about his amazing wife! She made sure I wasn’t stranded, chauffeuring me to my home like I was some kind of VIP. Thanks to them, my inconveniences were merely mild annoyances. If you want a mechanic who actually cares (and doesn’t just mumble car jargon while draining your wallet), go to Alex Engine and Transmissions. They perform miracles daily—and trust me, I’m living proof. Thanks Alex for all you have done!

Hands down one of the best auto shop you can trust, Alex and his team are really good, quality work, and most importantly they are honest, they guided you through all the process. price range are also great.

I took my Toyota pickup to get head gasket replaced and timing belt. I was excited to get it fix but after giving him like 4 plus months to do it, i gave up. I would have to call to get an update, he said i give up on this vehicle. The truck turns on only when maf is not connected. He said that he had other mechanics look at it, all three where certified Toyota mechanics. He told me that if they didn't figured it out that mostly likely no one would. Had to tow my truck away after paying $2600 for a non working repair. I wanted to have a good experience with the shop. Nice gentleman but disappointed with repairs. When i went in he said those trucks are easy to work on but afterward he change to this trucks are tricky because everything is old and anything can crack. So he said good luck to you. I hope this is not a normal thing for this shop.

Yesterday I took my vehicle to Alex, needed Shocks and Tie rods. Alex and his team as always had me back on the road in no time. I don’t know why I didn’t get it done sooner. Thanks again Alex I’ll be back and let my friends and family know this is a fantastic establishment.

You are CRAZY if you go anywhere else for any mechanical work on your car. INTEGRITY is so hard to find at shops today. Alex is HONEST, Professional, reasonably priced, and he stands by his work! God Bless Alex Engine repair!

Excellent service! Alex is very knowledgeable and attentive. It highly recommended.


Dec 07, 2024

I just wanted to stop by and say thank you my friend, for all the hard-work and effort you and the crew dedicated on my 2011 Chevy Silverado. It is highly appreciated and looking forward to doing business with you in the future. 💯👍🏻

The absolute best and honest mechanic I've ever met. After my grandson was told by 3 previous shops that his 2010 Dodge Charger would need to have the engine replaced because of the high mileage, I found Mr. Alex through Google search. The car wouldn't start. Mr. Alex diagnosed the problem, made the repairs, and had the car running in 1 day! He was very truthful and explained everything to us upfront. He didn't try to overcharge or do anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. He is my new mechanic and I will refer others to use him as well. Thanks Mr. Alex.

**Alex is a lifesaver!** He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. He quickly diagnosed the issue with my transmission and electrical system, providing a clear explanation of the repair. The work was done promptly, and my car is running better than ever. I highly recommend Alex Engine & Transmission for any repair needs.

Life can be challenging when you are a 76 years-old woman with car trouble. My ABS light kept coming on. I thought it was because we had a cold spell, and I needed air in my tires. The tire company checked the air and said it was a tricky sensor. I took it to my regular mechanic to get a check-up and inspection. He reassured me is was just a faulty sensor and that I would likely not have any problems on the road during my upcoming vacation. But, he advised that I needed spark plugs and an engine flush. Knowing that a 3000-mile trip was ahead of me with two precious passengers: my grandson and a friend undergoing cancer treatments, I didn't trust my car on the road. My daughter told me to go to Alex Engine Transmission, her trusted mechanic. Following her advice, I was immediately set to ease by his professionalism, thorough knowledge, and mechanical expertise regarding all sorts of makes and models of cars including my 2013 Kia. Not only did he uncover the ABS problem, but he also removed and replaced my spark plugs, wheel speed ABS sensor, and harness and replaced my bearings for a reasonable price in an unbelievably fast turn-around time so I could get on the road. He said it was good that I got the work done because it was possible that my wheels would have locked up and I wouldn't be able to go anywhere. I recommend Alex with 100% conviction to anyone who needs their auto repaired at a reasonable rate.

Very knowledgeable and truly understood what I needed and continued to follow up with me after the car was fixed...thanks again as it was a great experience

After doing much research I found Alex through his great reviews I immediately called him and he greeted me with grace and was very helpful before I even brought my truck up to his shop. Alex gave me some advice to preserve my truck before making a decision on what I wanted to do. Alex even recommended me a tow truck company to get my truck towed to his shop. Alex and his staff did great work and were very fast and honest during the whole process. Alex took pictures and kept me involved throughout the process. Alex put me in a whole new engine, water pump, radiator and it literally took about two days. Alex and his lovely wife has a great business and I highly recommend them I want thank you guys for all the great work you’ve done and my truck feels brand new.


Oct 07, 2024

Alex did a very thorough pre purchase inspection for me and verified my concerns. He went above and beyond to help me select the right truck even after he was paid. He’s out of my way but now that I’ve got a good truck I’ll be trailering over one of my cars for him to work on. Wish he was up in Montgomery!

Found Alex by doing a simple google search, I was in search of an honest mechanic. Someone with great communication, people skills and all-around great customer service! I got all of that & more choosing Alex E&T. I had engine and transmission problems LOL and he was quick, honest, straight to the point. My car was not there very long at all, this was not a decision I made in one day. It took me weeks to finally get it over to him and I think that is one of the best decisions I have made with my car in a while. His wife was equally amazing, very sweet and kind, she did assist me getting to the bank and also picking me up when my car was done. I want to give a big Thank you to Alex and his team because I'm rolling again!!!!!!


Oct 07, 2024

Just had a full engine swap by Alex, he worked with me to figure out what was the best option for the best price. He was honest throughout the whole process and I felt like he truly cared about getting me back on the road the best way possible. He is thorough and made sure the job was done correctly and completely. I will continue to bring all of my vehicles to Alex for all my future engine and transmission needs. Thanks again Alex!


Oct 07, 2024

New transmission installed in a few days, good warranty, great price and even better service!


Sep 07, 2024

Alex replaced an engine on my vehicle. I highly recommend him for any car repairs. He's fair with pricing (no hidden cost). He kept me updated with status of my vehicle until finished.

Great service, They diagnosed and repaired the problem all in the same day. In and out without fuss.


Feb 07, 2024

Alex is a competent, honest, and trustworthy mechanic. He completed an engine job for my younger brother, after he was scammed by another local mechanic. We are completely happy with Alex’s work and assistance during this process. I highly recommend his services!


Feb 07, 2024

Alex took care of me, good guy.


Feb 07, 2024

Alex, Is a very trust worthy mechanic and honest business to service your vehicle. He recently serviced my 2008 Hummer H3 with a new engine installation. The first engine that he brought in was a 2009 with 75,000 miles but it didn’t work because the sensors and a few other things did not match up, and with that being said it was pulled and I wasn’t charged for the engine exchange. Alex, kept me informed every step of the way while searching for a new engine. The next engine that was located and only had 60,000 miles on it and it was installed later that same week. He kept my truck for a few extra days just to make sure that everything was in good working order before I came to pick up my truck. We test drove it together and it turned out to be the best decision that I’ve made. Thank you, Mr. Alex.


Feb 07, 2024

Alex, has very reasonable prices and he is a very honest person. I would really recommend him to anyone that may be looking for a good mechanic to service your engine or transmission.


Feb 07, 2024

Alex, is a very trustworthy mechanic. I took my Chevy equinox in today, thinking I had a transmission problem but come to find out it was something much simpler. He is such an honest & humble man. I will definitely use him again in the future. Thank you again Alex!!🤗 God Bless you, Alanna🙏✝️


Feb 07, 2024

Awesome work


Feb 07, 2024

Good honest mechanic fix my engine and transmission 100% recommended I found him here on Google close to my house I got quotes from different mechanic he gave me the best price thank you so much Alex


Feb 07, 2024

Great attention to technical details combined with experience, awesome customer service, and honesty makes this place a great shop to keep up with the maintenance of my GMC 2014 Sierra truck.


Feb 07, 2024

I would like to thank Mr. Alex for his honesty, integrity, and the excellent service he provided to me recently. After being scammed by another repair shop (which cost me thousands of dollars), Mr. Alex recommended that my engine be replaced. He was able to find a good used engine with a one-year warranty. He quoted me a fair price before the work was completed. Remarkably, he was able to replace the engine in two days, and the final price was exactly what he previously quoted. There were no extra additional costs like many repair shops tend to add, in order to increase their profit. Although I live in New Orleans, I was able to trust him to complete the proper work on my son's 2011 Hyundai Sonata. As long as my son lives in Houston, he will never go to another auto repair shop! Thank you Mr. Alex, and may God bless you.


Feb 07, 2024

If u want to get your car fix right , Then Do NOT go here they literally have no knowledge, I went there the guy act like he was certified… now he acts like I never visit..he deadass tells me I need to new transmission so he can take mines and sell me a cheap old one .. he didn’t know what he was doing and if u want 5 star service this is not the place


Feb 07, 2024

If you ever need quick work and proper work done on your engine call Alex. I brought my Kia to his shop last Saturday for some trouble with my engine and just picked it up; Alex had my car running just like new again. Whatever you need Alex can get it done for you.


Feb 07, 2024

I’m very appreciative of the work Mr. Alex and his shop has done to my car. Replaced my engine and now my car is running like it’s brand new. Best in the area!!


Feb 07, 2024

Most awesome experience. This knowledgeable man “Alex” knows what he is doing when it comes to transmissions. Had a couple of options for me for repairing my transmission. Alex had my vehicle repaired within 3 days. I was really on edge as to who to trust. Thank you Alex for being honorable, trusting. God bless you😇


Feb 07, 2024

Mr. Alex and his whole shop are a great group of people. Not only that. They have great customer service and keeps updated information on your vehicle and keeps his word. I took my 97 Ford OBS to him and he did a great job. It took him 2 days to do it as well. Thanks again and I truly appreciate y'all service. I trust these guys with my vehicles. I can honestly say i have a new mechanic whenever i have any problems and at home


Feb 07, 2024

Mr. Alex was so professional and honest thru the entire repair of my car. My vehicle needed repair because I had metal flakes in my oil. He replaced my entire engine was very transparent and kept me informed through the entire process and got. Him and his family are so welcoming and friendly they were a true blessing to me during this holiday season. Me being a female with little to no knowledge about cars he was super informative. I am originally from Alabama and I have had many encounters with mechanics in Texas but Alex's business is top tier. Quality work and parts, great pricing. 100/100 I recommend him for any of your auto repair repair services.
