Quick, honest service. They did not do a service. I thought I need it and it saved me some money. I'll definitely go back

Had an A/C problem with my Cadillac Deville. I took it to First Tire & Automotive and they did an excellent job in fixing it. They could have easily charged me for a new compressor job as the indication could have easily been diagnosed as such and I would never have known. The problem was with a loose wire which was hard to diagnose as the problem was intermittent. This demonstrates their integrity. Nick took care of me and I need to thank him as he explained.everything to me. My A/C is working great and I have one year Warrenty. Not only did they fix my A/C problem but they checked the system for leaks and serviced the system with Freon. They also did a complete diagnostic check on my car at no charge. Who does that in today’s time? I will be taking my car to them from now on as they are friendly and professional. I will highly recommend First Tire and Automotive to anyone to have their car serviced along with doing any repairs.Thank you First Tire and Automotive.

I was in a spin when my car would not start 20 min. Before I was to be in clinic, 5 minutes away!My friend loaned me her car and I dashed out stopping to talk to the guys at 1st tire…my 4th or 5 th time there in 5 years… they went to my house, got the car and made sure it was all checked out. They called an hour later sd the heat drained my battery, replaced my brake light that was burned out no charge and the battery was under warranty too!The best thing about them is always friendly, I never feel they are taking advantage of me just because I’m a woman….!! Yes this happens elsewhere everyday! My car runs like a top! 2014 Sante fe Turbo…. They warranty their work!My husband has even agreed to forego the ford dealer for his next service since they always seem to take advantage of us!!!Thank you for saving my day, fixing my car, btw, they send estimates and visuals b4 anything gets done.Honest and professional. Keep up the good work guys!!!!

Just left First Tire and Automotive here in Katy, and I've got to give them props. When my daughter's car needed some attention, I swung by, and Nick was the guy who took care of us. And let me tell you, the service was great.Nick didn't mess around. He was very helpful and honest, just a straight shooter from the get-go. No trying to upsell me on stuff I didn't need or baffling me with jargon. He laid out exactly what was going on, what needed fixing, and what it would cost. It was a completely straightforward service, which is a huge relief when you're dealing with car repairs.On top of that, the service was quick. They got me in and out without wasting any time, which is exactly what you want when you've got a busy day. I can say it's a very recommended and trustworthy place. If you're looking for a reliable spot that gets the job done right, and you want someone who's honest and efficient, ask for Nick. He'll make sure you're taken care of.

I brought my truck to First Tire & Automotive for an emissions inspection. I had an appointment. I was received immediately - no wait time to be processed in. Everything went smoothly. Ultimately the whole process (that included a digital diagnostic) took less than 1/2 hr. I highly recommend them!

I recently went to First Tire & Automotive for an oil and oil filter change. I also had a tire that was leaking air. I walked in without an appointment. They were very friendly, did an inspection, and explained everything to me. The work didn't take long. The waiting room was very comfortable, so I didn't have any problems waiting. The work was done well and I was very satisfied with the service.

I had a fantastic experience at First Tire & Automotive in Cinco Ranch! I stopped by to get my oil change light and tire pressure checked, and from the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and respected. James Torres, the manager, went above and beyond! He was kind, patient, and explained everything in a way that made me feel informed and at ease. No rush, no pressure, just genuine customer care. His calm professionalism really stood out. This location is my absolute go to!

The service at First Tire & Automotive is excellent. We spoke to James and Ryan. They will analyze and run diagnostics on your vehicle to advise the best solutions. They have the equipment and technicians to get your vehicle running like it’s new again. This where you need to go in Katy to get the best service for your vehicle. This was experience.

First Tire always works me in quickly. Their service writers Nick and Oliver are knowledgeable and fast. They have technicians familiar with heavy duty trucks, so they're very knowledgeable. They listen to you in order to completely understand the issues.I've been a happy customer for years.

First time had my car serviced for brake fluid and transmission fluid flush. that did great job. I also liked their courtesy Uber service that arranges transportation while your car is being serviced.Shout out to Oliver and James at reception.

19:16 19 Apr 25

Awesome customer service. I go there for tire issue and they provided me two solutions which was to use the spare tire and bring it back to where I rent the car. They didn't charge me for changing. Should have give some tip though. Will definitely visit again if I run into problem in the future.

Nick was the person who I talked to and did the work on my car. I had a few things that needed to be done. He told me what was needed and didn’t pressure me to do anything other than what i wanted. They got the work done fast. It was a good experience.

We had previously taken our small fleet of vans to another shop. And then Kiki introduced us to First Tire And Automotive and we couldn’t have made a better decision switching to this shop. James is very professional and accommodating. Their prices are reasonable and service has always been great. Regular maintenance oil changes, tire rotations, state inspections and we no longer buy our tires at discount tire. The photos and videos they include in their inspections and estimates are state of the art. It’s a one stop shop for us and I highly recommend them.

James the manager at this location was so welcoming and helpful when I desperately needed a nail removed from my tire to fix a flat that COTSCO tire shop will not do for me. The shop was very busy that day but he squeezed me in the schedule to resolve this problem. He even went an extra mile suggesting I come back for him to clean a brake code from my car for “FREE”! Which I did and he honored his promisse.The friendliness was appealing!He even remembered my name right away.Great shop, great staff great customer service.I will recommend everyone to visit this shop to experience what I described above.

Matt was our hero yesterday. My wife has a 2017 Ford Explorer. Fuel injector failed unexpectedly. Took her car to another shop, their estimate was $1900 to repair one injector, almost $4K to replace all 6. Matt replaced all 6 injectors for right at $3K.Thanks Matt!

I had a sudden problem with my car while out and about. I stopped into First Automotive on Highland Knolls. They were very kind. (This was about 11:00 am). They were able to check it out right away, keeping me posted by phone along the way, then fixed it. They sent an Uber to bring me back to the shop and I drove my car home by 3:40. There is no way that I could be more pleased with their service. Everyone in the shop was kind, helpful, and understanding!

Nick was fantastic! He listened to me took my suggestions and advised me that they would only know for sure how much it would be after they got everything apart. It was a 4 wheel disc brake job and the front rotors were deeply worn so it wasn’t cheap but Nick didn’t overcharge me for parts like so many other places love to. They treated me fairly gave me a heads up on some needed items and fluid change getting close to needing done. I’ll be going back to take care of a few needed items soon.Brought the vehicle back for those other items 1) Blend Door actuator failure and 2) Steering Wheel telescope motor which required the dash to come completely out of the vehicle. They ran into some parts availability issues on day 2 but were able to get all that resolved and the truck done, looking as if it had never been worked on. Again the techs and Nick were great to work with! They stayed on budget and communicated with us all along the way.I highly recommend First Automotive for your repair needs.

I had a wonderful experience yesterday at First Tire in Katy. I went in initially for an oil change but also requested the 38 point inspection. It was then that it was determined that my front brakes were in the yellow zone. I could drive my car longer but risked eventually causing damage to my rotors. So their technicians were able to fix the brakes as well rotating my tires. Very good customer service.

David P.

They were able to order the tire size I needed, service was pretty quick, they were good with communication, had polite staff, they did a full assessment of my car which I wasn’t expecting, and sent a link listing all things I needed to take care of. All around great experience.

I needed a repair that I thought would be an allinement issue, but ended being more involved. They worked hard to source all the items my old car required and gave me a quote along with a multi-point inspection. The cost was reasonable, the staff friendly, and the work done quickly. They kept me updated on the progress throughout the repairs. I would have no problem using them again for my auto repair needs.

sal C.

20:13 27 Nov 24

Very friendly and efficient staff.

20:55 23 Nov 24

EDIT: I rated this repair shop Five stars because the manager James and staff were very friendly and helpful with some significant issues I needed to be completed on my Honda CR-V. When all was said and done, they were able to save me money on the total bill. If I need any future auto repairs, I definitely will be returning to this location. I would strongly recommend anyone else needing auto repair work to do the same.

20:16 23 Nov 24

Came in for a tire pressure and battery check. Battery was low and they suggested that I call AAA since the battery appeared to have a year left on the warranty. AAA denied that the battery was still under warranty and would not replace it. I would have to buy a new battery. I decided to have First Tire replace it because they were cheaper and also they filed a claim with AAA on my behalf. They are very professional and polite. They are my new "go to" place for car care.

As a single mom it's hard to find honest people to work on your vehicle and do a great job without being taken advantage of. I was not only able to get what I needed fixed, they went above and beyond for me while being fully honest with what was needed on my vehicle, in which I already knew the problem. They fixed the problem and advised recommendations without harassing or breaking other things on purpose. They gained my loyalty and I will be a returning customer. Thank you Tire & Auto for your professional service, booking me speedily during my emergency, and for keeping amazing communication during my car's overnight stay. The whole team did an amazing job from the mechanic to the front desk. Thank you again.

Needed tires badly. James and Nick made some calls and were able to get the specialty sized tires that day. Appreciate the Uber service to drop me off and pick me up. Also, I'm happy that my Synchrony account can be used here. Lastly, they honor veterans with a discount. With all that said, I'm very happy with the care and services received. Thanks again to James and Nick.
