Key Auto Werks is the best foreign car mechanic in
Houston!! My husband and I have been taking our BMWs to
them for four years and have been extremely pleased with
their honesty, their fairness, and their general
knowledge. They work on BMWs, Toyotas, Volvos, Mercedes
and other nice foreign cars. I like the fact that they are
just as comfortable working on older models (i.e. our 1989
Toyota truck and our 1994 BMW), as well as newer models
(like our 2001 and 2002 BMWs) - they have proved equally
competent and knowledgable of both. They will honestly
tell you if something does not need to be done to your
car, or whether and to what degree you can wait on fixing
it. They really do take the time to explain what they did
with your car (or what it needs) and why. On top of that,
they are all EXTREMELY nice, friendly people. HIGHLY
HIGHLY recommended!!

We have taken our cars to Key Auto Werks since 1976--the first owners sold to the existing owners. We have followed them from their orignal shop out of an old gas station to their current shop on Kirby. They have fixed our VW bug, Mercury Villager, Toyota, Honda, and Volvos over the last 25 years. They are honest, don't fix things that don't need fixing, and help assess what is important to fix and what can wait when money is an issue. Athough our repair bills seem high (when you have 4 cars, one is always in the shop), they are comparable to taking the car to the dealer and it works when you get it back! I am definitely a biased customer and trust them with our cars and my children's cars.

They are always up front and honest about the current repair, but also about repairs that may be looming on the horizon (so you can plan appropriately). On multiple occassions they have had the opportunity to perform unecessary work but have not (e.g. - There is minor leakage and corrosion around the radiator intake hose. I won't know whether you will need a brand new radiator until I pull off the hose. Some Volvo's of your model/year need an entire replacement because the neck has cracked). They could have easily told me that the neck was cracked and done the full radiator replacement. I was happy to get the call from George saying it was just a worn radiator hose. I highly recommend these guys for Volvo work. I can only assume that they are as competent and honest for all makes/models that they specialize in.

Haven't actually taken my car in to them -- found them on the CarTalk website and called them up to ask a few questions about possible maintenance. They answered my questions, some of them dated or naieve, without bias and with full explanation. They come across as honest people who aren't trying to hose you -- as others have opined, they won't attempt to sell you a job that your car doesn't require.

It pains me to leave Houston for Michigan because I won't be able to take these friendly, capable, and honest mechanics with me. They have helped this college student keep a 30 year old car on the road safely. Excellent work.

They sounded friendly but they don't work on domestic
vehicles.

Key Auto Werks is the real deal: friendly, honest, and
competent mechanics who willingly go the extra mile to
diagnose the car and to ensure a happy customer.
They have performed great work on our two Hondas, and
performed extremely thorough buyer checks on two Acuras for
me. They found some notable problems with the first, which
I didn't buy, and went out of their way to thoroughly
investigate the second, which I did buy.
When my wife's CR-V was in for some A/C work their shuttle
driver picked her up from home, took her to the shop to
retrieve our child seat, drove to my daughter's day care
with my wife, picked up my daughter, and then took them all
back to the shop while the repair was being finished!
Amazing.
I am a reasonably knowledgeable Honda/Acura owner, so I do
not lightly recommend these folks: they are very good at
what they do.

My wife and I have been taking our cars to Key for close
to 20 years. They've serviced our Nissan, Mazda, Toyota,
BMW and Lexus - both new and used models. We have never
trusted the dealer, but trust George, Scott and Russell.
They do our warranty and other authorized service work.
Back in the old days, when we were considerably poorer and
driving really, really used cars, Scott or George would
give us spending and duration of fix options. They would
tell us, for example, that we could do a such and such
minor fix at x dollars which would last for 3 months, or
fix 2 for some dollars more that would last 5 months, or
the real fix that would completely knock the problem out.
Very handy during the paycheck to paycheck years.
