Kara Mings
Professional, high quality bodywork, ease of scheduling, vehicle repaired when promised, competitive pricing, and amazing staff in the office, mechanics, or the body shop. I highly recommend Uptown Automotive.

Aarij Rahman
Would rate more than 5 stars if I could. Professional, friendly, communicative. Got me out in time even given a time crunch on my end and a delay on a special order custom bumper. Would definitely recommend.

sergio m
Excellent work from the whole staff. Laura was great to work with and always willing to help. Will definitely use them again if needed.

Liz Majeski
I just had my oil changed here and couldn’t have had a better experience. My boyfriend was working nights so I was able to drop off my car before opening hours which was super convenient and the staff accommodated a late pickup as well on a Saturday! So glad I found this place and would happily use them again. We will be bringing my boyfriend’s car here now as well.

Uptown Automotive saved me a considerable amount of money and fixed the check engine light and headlight problems right. Before, I was taking my 2004 e46 330ci to BMW of Houston North until I run into a situation where my car would return with problems it did not have before. For example, the last time I took my car in, it was to replace rear shocks, front struts, and oil pan gasket. When I bought it back; it had the Check Engine light on and a faulty headlight.

When I took my car back to BMW they told me I needed to change all four O2 sensors. I did not even ask them about the headlight because it was going to cost me a ridiculous amount of money already. Furthermore, they kept the car for about two weeks to give me their diagnosis. This was during February 2021. I researched the internet for a highly rated and reputable independent shop and encountered Uptown Automotive. I took it in and spoke with Marcus, my current service representative. I explained the situation. He was and is very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. He made me feel at ease. I left my car and later that same day he sent me pictures and computer print outs of the diagnosis and estimate. The problem was a broken mass air flow sensor and broken wires for the headlight. The O2 sensors were ok, which made sense since my car had 75 k miles at that time, used only Shell V-Power Nitro+ Premium, clean engine filters and on time preventative maintenance. He also recommended to do a headlight rebuild; he had a very skillful automotive electrician for that Marcus said. The estimate was very reasonable and considerably less than what Bmw wanted to charge me and for what turned out to be the right diagnosis of my car problems.

Today is August 10, 2021, about six months since Uptown corrected my car problems. The check engine light has not turned on again and the headlight is working flawlessly. Since that initial service Uptown has done maintenance and preventive service for my e46, brake fluid bleeding, coolant flush, gas filter replacement, four wheel alignment. My car is running great, and I am happy because I have found that trusted mechanic shop all sensible car owners look for. Marcus told me at the beginning, “You will like us; you will be in good hands with us.” He was right. Thank you.

I had a good experience with Uptown automotive, they gave a clear explanation of what each type of parts mean and got my approval at each level before working on my vehicle. I wanted to get all OEM parts for my vehicle and they even price matched me for the online price. Laura was great to work with, keep it up!

Peter Kerr
Uptown was great! I took my car in for a few simple repairs and upgrades, and the whole process was smooth, quick, and easy. Everyone there is friendly and knows what they’re doing. Great customer service, and they can handle any job, big or small. This was my second time using them, and my car feels brand new. Definitely definitely definitely recommend them!

They restored it back to its original sleek state.

T Robinson
Adequately responsive, professional, fast, and efficient. Restored to its original sleek state.

Amanda Hin
The best mechanic store I’ve been to! Frank and Zameer were very responsive and helpful! They sent me quotes ahead of time so i was aware of the cost. The lead mechanic walked us through the work. I would come back again.

AJ York
Great service and great people! Will recommend to others.

Taylor
Very professional and friendly. Walk full of certifications and experience. Very fair price. My new go to auto repair

One of the best and most reliable body shops around, especially for luxury cars!

Sara Frankovic
They fixed my AC same day and were reasonably priced. Just in time for this heat, too! Very responsive and kind staff, I will recommend them to my friends.

James Thomas
Discovered paint peeling from my wife’s 2015 Toyota. Used Yelp to get several estimates. The person from Uptown who responded (Zameer) asked me if I had checked with Toyota because they had acknowledged their white paint had issues on certain models. Long story short, my wife’s car had been covered under their “recall” but it had expired 4 weeks earlier. I was so impressed with Uptown’s attempt to help me even if it cost them a job that I asked the for an estimate to repair the peeling paint. They gave me a competitive estimate for an OEM quality paint job to the roof and really accommodated our schedule, taking the car while we were out of town and having it ready right after we returned. The paint job itself looked great and the blending with the old, good paint and clear coat was flawless to my eye. Everyone in the front office was a pleasure to deal with (Zameer, Laura, Sarah). If I need any kind of body work or auto painting, Uptown will be my first stop.

Gayle Ryan
Uptown Auto diagnosed my car problem in just a few minutes and treated me with courtesy regarding the repairs. I always feel that both myself and my car are in trustworthy hands when work is needed and never feel that I am being overcharged.

Phoebe Meadows

Jasmin Davis

Alyssa Wilson
I’ve always had a great experience at uptown automotive! The employees are always so friendly and knowledgeable, and make the experience smooth. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Cheryl Fontenot
I have been using Uptown Automotive since 2019. I have been pleased with their work every time. They even washed my car when they finished with it. They explain everything before the work is done. I don’t want to trust my car in the hands of anyone else. Uptown always gets the job done.

Tim Sullivan
Today was just a few inspection stickers for my Teslas, S and 3. Unfortunately, I have some body work they’ll do for me in the next week or so. Always a knowledgeable team.

Wes Martin
Uptown Automative did a minor paint repair on my vehicle and they were professional, fast, and exceeded my expectations!
Laura, and other staff, were both pleasant as well as efficient, and the quality of the work Uptown did was excellent!

Peggy England
Highly professional. Quick but thorough service.

Alicia Amie
I absolutely love this place! I have owned a Mercedes-Benz and driven them since 2015 and I’ve always gone to the Mercedes-Benz dealership because I love the experience. However, I did not want to pay that price tag this time so I searched around to find another place. Because you can always save if you don’t go to the actual dealership. Uptown Automotive is top notch. The experience was nothing but A+. I had 2 cups of delicious coffee. They had jolly ranchers which are my favorite. There was water. There were snacks. It was nice. It was clean. I’m a new customer.

Kirby Jenkins
Couldn’t be happier. They continue to amaze me! Quality service, honest, dependable, everything you could want in a shop. Frank just really makes it a great experience from start to finish!

Bruce Dahm
Engine splash shield became partially detached within a day of dealer addressing a recall and giving “free” inspection. Not knowing extent of damage, had car towed to Uptown because I have worked with them for several years. They fit me in, reattached splash guard, and inspected car to make sure there was no damage from splash shield; all for a very reasonable cost.

Jozef Velez
Zameer, Laura and the Rest of the team here are fantastic and do Exceptional work! My legacy came in Practically Totaled and they not only got the car Repaired in a reasonable amount of time, They also connected me with the right people to Negotiate with insurance to get the ACTUAL VALUE of my vehicle, and not the INSULT of a low-ball offer Progressive tried to give me! I’ll attach Photos soon, but the Quality is better then factory, no orange-peel or odd texture in the paint, The Blending and Color- matching is almost perfect, Seriously I’m a professional detailer and I can’t even tell where the new and old paint come together.

Finally When I met with them I explained that I wanted to a Bit of a “Conversion” (Look up 3rd gen Legacy usdm vs JDM front end) and they were able to help me plan what needed to be done, worked with me on sourcing parts, and kept me Posted throughout the Whole process and answered all the Questions I could throw their way.

If you’ve made it this far in the review, you’ll Actually be the one who appreciates this as well. They made a Mistake and Made it right! Long story short, I had a small fender bender shortly after the Big repair, I brought it back to them along with a new pair of JDM Headlights, they completed the repairs and Accidentally Tossed the old EXTRA light! As soon as they realized they let me know upfront and had a Plan to replace it right when they called me. That is what I appreciate Most, High Quality work, Good turn-around time and Honesty, Especially when someone screws up. At the end of the day no one’s perfect and they try to be!

God Forbid I wreck another car, but if I do I will 100% take it back to Uptown, and seriously want to Refer My clients to them if they need any body work!

JL
After 2 visits I can definitely say that I’ve found the best place to get my Mercedes Benz serviced at an honest price.

Eleanor Lee
Frank was professional, informative and honest. Nice business. I was in a state of SHOCK from the estimates I received for the cost to repair my car. He provided a workable alternative which I PRAY holds it together for a little while longer. I am so grateful to my daughter who used and referred him and her friend who referred him to her!

5 Stars is not enough for the experience I had with Uptown Automotive. After suffering a hit and run and having to drive my truck 10 states in a cross-country move, the last thing I needed was issues with my repairs. Uptown Automotive did everything to alleviate that stress and get me back on the road. Laura and Sarah are BEYOND INCREDIBLE. Kept me informed on the progress with my vehicle, communication with my insurance and even did an inspection so I was informed up possible upcoming repairs and maintenance on my truck. Even though my insurance dragged out the process, the Uptown Automotive team was on the job and when I picked up my truck, it looked better than when I purchased it. Phenomenal job. I highly recommend for collision and repairs. They definitely have another customer for life.

Pete Seda
Took my car to car pro automotive a couple days ago. It took so long I had to just ask for my keys and go those guys are unorganized sloppy. I brought my Honda over here it was so much faster and more polite.

Saeed Virani
Looks like AI fixed my car… I was very impressed with the way they treated me and how amazing my car looks…they literally rolled out the red carpet for me and blew my mind away.

Efrain Jimenez
Uptown is very good at what they do. Needless to say I’ve wrecked my car twice and twice they’ve repaired my vehicle looking like new. The staff is also very friendly and down to earth. If your vehicle needs body work done I highly recommend Uptown Automotive. And for anyone who takes their vehicle there for repairs be advised that they are very quick and have your vehicle ready in no time. This is the place to go.😊

Eduardo Angel
First time here – Did an excellent job repairing my vehicle and even cleaned the interior – highly recommend this place.

Jace Heuring
New experience (March 2025): great service on an oil change and some body work (a hog ran out in front of me late at night). Uptown was able to use existing parts in the repair instead of having to buy new ones. This saved me money and the results look fantastic.

Previous review: Uptown is amazing. Dropped my car in the morning after the check engine light had come on, got a diagnosis by the early afternoon and the repair (2 new coils) was done by the end of the day. Fantastic service.

YI-MING CHEN
The AC in my car had not been working for a while. I was afraid of the huge repair cost. Frank offered a discounted inspection and quickly the problem was found. I only spent some $300 dollars to fix the problem by replacing the radiator fan and now I can drive comfortably in hot Houston summer. Thanks so much Frank!

Leo Gudino
Did a great job getting my Mustang to look brand new after a crash.

stephanie beckford

I was referred by my parents when I could not find anyone to diagnose the problem with my 2020 cadi xt6. Frank is very helpful and gave me hope walked me through the entire process. Needless to say in less than 4 days they had a diagnosis and repaired in maybe 48 hours. Well recommend.
