Honcura Auto Service

Honest, friendly, and great service. Very reasonable cost to have any work done. We have taken our Honda here for years and since have started bringing our other cars here as well. Highly recommended.

I didn’t realize that this place was a Honda/​Acura specialty garage until I got there — but that was just a bonus! I needed a new thermostat for my Honda and had been quoted at $ 120+ from other places. Now I know that it’s a cheap service and doesn’t require much man power. So I did a little more shopping around and found Honcura. The owner/​Shoppe manager was incredible! The place is clean, efficient, and very inexpensive. I highly recommend this garage!

Brought my car in today for some significant repairs. Not only did they do a wonderful job fixing the issue, they were affordable, AND did the whole job very quickly! I was so pleased with the service I received, I will most definitely be returning there should I need more car servicing.

I visited this location for a standard oil change. This place was recommended by a co worker who said they did amazing work on cars. When arriving I did have to wait in the office for a while before getting assistant but that was no big deal.
I got a standard oil change for my Lexus. Which usually cost about $ 70 at the Lexus dealership. I really wasn’t motivated to pay that for a oil change. To my surprise the cost of a standard oil change is around $ 27 dollars. Which was a great deal. I can at the end of the day before they closed and was able to get in and out quickly. I even check to make sure everything was placed back on correctly, which it was. The staff are very friendly. I definitely would go back again. Overall a great experience.

I can always get in and out for an oil change, and if there is anything major wrong with your car, they won’t nickel and dime you the way they do at most dealerships. They even explain what is wrong with your car so that a woman like me who is clueless about cars understand it.

Great place. They do not rip you off! I took my bmw here after the dealership told me it needed a new engine. The guy at Honcura said I didn’t have an engine problem, it was an alternator issue. He fixed my car in 2 days and saved me a lot of money! Thanks Honcura!

I brought a Toyota Prius that I was potentially going to buy. They gave me their honest opinion on it which prevented me from buying it. I’m glad that I didn’t because it was an older car with high mileage and since it was a hybrid it would been a waste of my money because I would have to buy a new battery which will cost me thousands. One caveat though, it may be hard to understand them because they have really thick Vietnamese accents but overall the communication is fine and I would highly recommend them for their mechanic advice.

I can’t speak highly enough of To and the crew at Honcura! Over 6 years ago & based upon a friend’s recommendation we brought our old Daewoo here & though no one could get parts Honcura always found a way to make it work. Now I drive a Toyota & we still go to Honcura because of their honest & fabulous work! I highly recommend Honcura, the best auto repair men I’ve ever worked with!

Great! I have always been leery of people with my car as it is. I’m not car savvy and don’t like when people tell me things are broken that aren’t — it’s happened multiple times. That didn’t happen here! I went in for basic service — tires rotated, oil change. I also had an odd squeaking noise when I applied the brakes. Their service was upfront and honest! Told me prices before and said they’d call before doing anything! They completed the service I needed and told me the brakes were fine, and exactly when I’d have a problem. To my surprise, I got into my car and the squeaking was gone! I’ll be coming back here for the life of my car, and probably further on than that!

Honest is the word to describe their service. They don’t fix what’s not broken !
Dealership (Honda) recommended me immediate brake shoe replacement stating the pads are less than 1 mm and will eat-​up my rotors. I took my car to HONCURA and they showed me my brake pads had more than 80% pads still remaining and didn’t change it just to charge me money.
Thank you !!

I brought my ’93 Acura Legend in because the windshield washer valves were not working. The mechanics fix replace one of them and fixed the other. When I asked how much he said whatever I thought was fair. In other words, they allow me to determine the price of the work. This is unheard of service. I recommend them. I think that they are honest and hard working. Also, I didn’t have to wait long either.

This place is excellent. They are honest and fair. I have never been to a car repair shop where they honestly tell u what’s wrong and don’t try to get to get unnecessary repairs!!!

So long Honcura, I can’t go here any longer. It took a day and a half to get the estimate for repairs, then they tell me I need both axles replaced. What you guys replaced them 2 yrs ago, less than 20K miles ago. Either they do crummy work, or they are trying to scam me.

I recently took my 2004 Acura TSX to Honda dealer to get my computer updated. Honda gave me several recommendations to keep my vehicle performing as it should. One of the recommendations was to replace the driver side axle seal (cost about $ 250!!). However, I had replaced the seal at Honcura about 7 months earlier. Good thing I kept the receipt :) I took the receipt to Honcura with Honda’s recommendation. The manager (To) honored the warranty and replaced the seal for free. Thanks Honcura!

good choice for regular maintenance. Honest, quick, reasonably priced. These are good guys!

Just took my car yesterday for a timing belt/​water pump change. What should have been 3 – 4 hour lasted little over 6 hours.
First off, if I were to rank their service and honesty, I would say 5 stars. As I was there most of the day waiting, saw and heard lots of other folks that’s been there for years. Also saw how the manager TO (pronounced tow) had taken care of them very well. By the way, they are not related to Hondura in Irving as the owner is from Lao, and manager is Vietnamese, as are most of the mechanics. Hondura owner is from Thailand (will review them as well later).
So why the 3 stars? My overall experience was 3 stars due to the fact that some issues and recommendation I’ve heard, I would not agreed on.
For my car that has 93k, I had asked to change the accessory or serpentine belt as well as it’s not been changed (standard for most other shops). As with any rubber belts, it will deteriate in quality even if it looks good by visual inspection. That’s the whole reason in changing the timing belt when it’s 90k as preventive maintenance as the motor was fine. Anyway, I had to ask him 3 times, and each time, he tells me that it’s not needed. Keep in mind, I was there most of the day (except for lunch where I walked to McD). I now have to change it myself once the weather wams up a bit as I do most minor mechanical stuff to my cars and trucks anyway.
Other reason was that of changing transmission fluid. He told me, along with telling at least 2 other customers while I was there that transmission fluid that they offer is just drain and fill. Nothing wrong with that, except that when you drain the fluid from pan, it’s only about ½ of the overall fluids as the other half is in the torque converter and cooler (if it’s equipped). He told me and other customers that each time you come back, they will change it again by draining and adding more fluid. And if you do that 3 or so times, then all fluid should be changed.
The theory behind that sounds OK, but if you think about it. Everytime you change it, you’re only doing no more than ½ of the capacity. When you add in new fluid, it is mixed in with the old, cotanminated fluid, which is not wise to do. So yes, you can do this several times, but the fluid will never be 100% clean… it’ll be cleaner, but it’s timely, and could potential cost you more due to parts and labor each time. Proper way of doing is to use a machine specifically built for it to flush out the system until it’s 100% clean as it filters and add in the fluid throughout your whole transmission. It may cost more initially, but it’s better to do the job right the first time instead of doing 3 or 4 times. The shop is old and very basic, so I’m sure it has to do with investment of buying machine to do the job right. I can understand that, but at the same time, I would have just told the customer to take it to a transmission shop or else where to do it right the first time.
Anyway, I was there for little over 6 hours, and by these couple issues, I was disappointed to hear. I didn’t want to make a case or embarass the manager, so I just left it as is. But unfortunately, I lost my faith with them as mechanics working on my cars.
Again, their service, intention of saving customer money, overall atitude are all great. But their lack of mechanical knowledge or ill advice in this case didn’t sit quite well with me. Again, I’m no professional mechanic as I wouldn’t want to do the timing belt change on my own, but I do service most of my vehicles for simple things like tune up, change brakes pads/​rotors, change shocks and front struts, etc., so I do have some knowledge and common sense about cars. As with any profession, it’s common to get 2^nd opinion if you have any doubts. Take this review with a grain of salt.

I used to take my car here for repairs when I was in college at UNT, but a few weeks ago, I bought my daughters car here for maintenance an repairs. This shop is the best shop to bring a Toyota for repair. The repair costs will beat any shop in Dallas and the quality of work is exceptional. If my Lexus wasn’t under dealer warranty, I’ll bring it here too. Highly recommended

Oh, I sooo wanted to give these guys a five star rating! But, I can’t. Not happy that I spent hundreds here and they still did not fix my car. Each time they said «oh yes, we know what’s wrong and can fix it». Then, they would say it’s fixed! It wasn’t (over and over) and wanted more money to fix it. Each time, still not fixed, but they just keep saying «no problem we fix».
BUT, I gave them at least two stars because friends go to them and they are very happy. They do seem like the majority of the time they can really fix things and are pretty cheap.

I took my truck to Honcura on N Story Rd today after reading the positive online reviews. My shift lock mechanism had stopped working a couple of months back. The owner of the shop quoted me a price of $ 105 but advised me, honestly, that there was no guarantee that this was going to fix it. He advised that this problem is harder to diagnose than your average problem (ie a starter that is broken) due to the fact that there can be various causes. I did agree to the work, and after 1 hour my truck was fixed. Their diagnosis was right, and I was charged $ 105, which to me was very reasonable. I will be back due to his honest assessment and reasonable pricing. This type of service is not easy to come by anymore.

Honest, quick, reasonably priced. These are good guys!
