Tidwell Auto Service

I was at Tidwell auto service last week for a oil leak, which was a real seal and a pan gasket seal. They notified me that my 2008 Ford Ranger needed a sway bar links set also they ordered in and I came back and the installed in while I waited. Without a doubt they were the most pleasant and professional company Ive dealt with in a long time. I would recommend them to my neighbors and friends (which I have).

I had a wonderful experience. The team was friendly and responsive. They worked with me to find the best solution for my vehicles needs. Pricing was very fair and some prices had options. When it was agreed what need to be done, the team worked quickly to complete the work. After inspecting the work, I am happy with the result. I will be taking my vehicles to Tidwell going forward.

If you value your vehicles like I do then you should take 2 minutes to read this review. It won't be a waste of your time. I really don't know where to start because I have too many positive things to say about Tidwell Auto Service. 5 stars isn't enough.
We've all heard the horror stories about repair shops and most have probably had a bad experience somewhere along the way. I've been working on cars/trucks my entire life and over some 30 plus years of experimentation and experience as a weekend warrior I'm a self actualized master mechanic. I don't trust most mechanics and there are plenty of decent one's out there. But they aren't always easy to find.

Tidwell is direct, easy to work with, reasonably priced, extremely knowledgeable and high quality people. They have completed numerous repairs on my truck over the years in a very timely fashion and they are the ONLY mechanic I'm comfortable telling friends/family to deal with. My truck has over 200k miles on it and isn't slowing down. I would send my worst enemy to Tidwell. Do yourself a favor and give them a call. It'll save you time and money. You won't be taken advantage of and always get what you pay for. Honest service and great prices just don't do them justice. I've never had better experiences with a repair shop.

Honest, efficient, and fair. I had a part replaced with them a year ago at a fair price for what was done and they had it done in a timely manner… then not quite a year later something goes wrong with that part (just got a dud or something) called them they said they do have warranty on it and replaced it with no charge took me in the next morning and said they would have it done in a day but had it done the next day.
I am very grateful they confirmed the problem and fixed it! Very grateful that what could have been a stressful situation wasn’t and was solved quickly. They were honest and didn’t try to sale me anything or tell me anything and else was the matter! Would def recommend to others to use! There is a reason they stay busy!

Found Tidwell as a recommended shop on Carfax and they took care of the service our vehicle needed per the mileage. It's our first used vehicle, so I asked them to check over everything and had a couple of additional questions too. They were really helpful and reassuring, not suggesting anything needed fixing or replacing, which goes a long way to building trust. We'll be back next time!

Everyone is Awesome! I had my vehicle in for pre-purchase inspection. They had an list of things that were urgent and not urgent. Professional service and fair price. Thank You 👍

This company provides great service at a fair price. I would recommend them to anyone looking for automotive maintenance and/or repair.

AC compressor replaced and then charged. Can’t go without AC in Texas in 100+ temps!

Great job! Turned around in reasonable time, cost was fair and honest. Staff is the Best!

We’re lucky to have them in our community!

The only place I will take my care! The mechanic is extremely knowledgeable and every team member there has great customer service. They outlived the Firestone that was adjacent to them, and I completely understand why! They are the superior auto service. They took the time out of their busy schedule to fix a problem that another mechanic caused.

First time using Tidwell. Our car wouldn't start. Had it towed to Tidwell. Quick communication, estimate half what the dealership quoted, and repair done same day.

We've used Tidwell Auto Service for many years. Always got professional, courteous and personalized service of the highest quality. Tried other places, including Toyota Service and found that Tidwell did great work at better prices.

This place and people are just the best at what they do. Turnaround time is great, work is thorough and pricing is very fair for the work performed.
Got a 2013 Ford F150 and a 2016 Mazda 3, which going forward are only serviced at Tidwell.
Happy they are here as a trusted service.
Highly recommend as they are honest and do not disappoint.
Thanks, Tidwell!!

I drove my car to a family vacation and it began making a funny noise almost immediately into the trip. We were thinking about turning around and then the noise quit. We continued on our way and returned. No problems. Wanted to check it out on return and contacted Tidwell Auto Service.

I took the car to them the day before they could get to it and they returned it to me the day they promised once they identified the problem and called me with the price for the work. We paid less than the original estimate which is always nice and everything they worked on works great. They replaced wheel bearings on the rear and a brake switch. They have always worked on my personal cars for years and have kept them running great for all our vehicles from SUV's to compacts.

They have been the fleet mechanics for the company I work for for more than 15 years and always have done good work at a good price for us. They have done everything from oil changes to replace motors and transmissions for us. For a small shop they really crack out the work and do it well. Always been very happy working with them.

Small shop in a not-so-great location, but they’re nice people who do great work at a fair price. They replaced the original-equipment blower motor on our 15-year-old Accord and now the A/C and heater work better than in years. Recommended. Will use again.

They really care and give the best prices by hundreds less with great service !

Absolutely the best. Mr Tidwell has demonstrated a true level of honesty and integrity each and every time we've taken a vehicle to his shop... and we've been doing so for 17 or 18 years.

My family trusts Tidwell Automotive and will continue to utilize them as long as we live in DFW.

This business does good work at fair prices. They have been my choice for servicing my vehicles for 20+ years. Through multiple makes they have always provided excellent service. I'll keep giving them my business until I don't have a vehicle any more.

Always been happy with Tidwell auto. Took my daughter's car in recently for an overdue oil change. Also asked them to look into a sound that she had started hearing. They changed the oil and determined the sound was caused by insufficient engine oil due to a leaky oil filter which was replaced as part of the oil change. No additional cost. Happy customer as is usual with Tidwell.

The battery and alternator went out on our car which is dangerous because the car will shut down unexpectedly at any time. We just made it to Tidwell as the power steering was going out. It is electrically assisted. Our visit was unexpected but they took the car in right away. It was ready the next morning. They replaced the battery and the alternator. They also checked the power steering to make certain that it was not damaged. Our car was fixed quicker than we expected and the bill was very reasonable for the parts needed and the labor done. Tidwell will have all of our business.

Friendly and knowledgeable locally-owned and operated auto service center! We have had a number of visits for oil changes, light bulb replacement, and they have also diagnosed a check engine light that ended up being a spark plug that was misfiring incorrectly sometimes (tricky to figure out). They have done same/day service for us, but we have also made appointments in the past. They also have specials if you sign up for their alerts. All in all, we have had a great experience at Tidwell's, and Mr. Tidwell is an empathetic businessman. Can't forget about Elizabeth at the front desk - always helpful and calls you when she says that she will.
