Great service! I liked that Elizabeth called me prior to service and informed me of the estimate. When I picked up our car, the cost was actually a bit cheaper than the quote. I love their integrity. Well done!
People working here are so kind and helpful. The plastic dust cover detached from the bottom of my car after running across a road medium accidentally. I didn’t find out about the damage until halfway en route. I found this place through google maps and they were able to help me fix it immediately. Was expecting at least 100 dollars for the fix but they were so kind to offer the service free of charge. One of the best encounters I’ve had in this city. Thank you so much!!
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 SUVs 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.
Ive been using Tidwell for the past few years to service my 2012 Mercedes E350. I wish I would have found them years ago. Its difficult to find a shop that you can totally trust. They dont fix it if its not broke, and when it is they are fair with pricing and will provide the service in a timely manner.
This is the second vehicle we have taken to them. Been very happy with the service each time. Honest fair pricing and a good job. Very friendly and professional people all the way around.
We were extremely happy with the service and price. We will be using Tidwell Auto Servicr for all our auto needs in the future. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Tidwell is our go to auto shop for both of our vehicles. Service is quick and professional and reasonably priced.Its nice to be able to trust them with our auto service.
Details of complaint:- Poor communication (misdiagnosis vehicle, misleading car repair quotes).- Unprofessionalism (hanging up the phone on inquiring customer, Elizabeth; Manager discontinued customers military discount and stated, If they did grant the military discount they would lose money.- Discriminatory practices (customer removed from company text message stream, customer being referred to as You and Your car in email correspondence despite having customer identifying information on file).- Denied customer request to speak to owner- Elizabeth; Manager stated, The owner does not want to speak to customer.
My favorite service shop in town and one of the few I trust for a reasonable, honest repair quote. Have been bringing my vehicles here for probably 15 years and have never had a bad experience or issue they couldnt address.
Always easy to work with. No pressure to fix thing.*Free diagnostics!!!*
This family owned and run business has been in Plano since 1977. Their longevity, in such a competitive market, is due to the honest service and tight pricing on labor and parts and consistent long term results. I attest to this.Trust is an important aspect in auto repair - in price, repair, and results. Tidwell Auto passes the trust test every time.Ask to speak to Troy Tidwell the owner, or Elizabeth; they are actively present and knowledgeable. I have asked them for a ride home on occasion (I live within three miles). This has never been a problem. Shana who works for them - has provided that ride; she is a genuine, intelligent, and knowledgeable.If you are looking for car care that provides fair costs, reliable price estimates, and outstanding service than give Tidwell Auto a shot.
This is my new favorite repair shop! I live in Plano and used to drive to Burdick in McKinney but after finding Tidwell on Nextdoor I think they may be as good or even better than Burdick and theyre a lot closer to my house. Ive used Tidwell three times now and Ive always felt that they were honest with me and did good work at a fair price. Theyve earned my business.
We took our car in after a trip where the air conditioning wasn’t working very well. Tidwell put a new compressor in & we got the car back on a Friday. Sunday after church we stopped for gas & there was a puddle of a red fluid under the car. We had to have AAA tow us to Tidwell’s . Monday they started works on fixing the transmission. We were inconvenienced by not having the car but it was ready on Thursday for our 4th trip. Every one was so nice & we had no more trouble with the car. I would recommend them.
Reliable, trustworthy, good people. Took my 97 Cadillac here after previously taking my car to a Cadillac dealership due to a gas leak (which the dealership claimed they could not find and did not exist) the fine people at Tidwell easily found the problem, diagnosed it, ordered the parts needed, and had it fixed within a timely manner. They kept me updated, and were very solid with their communication. Anytime I need any more work done on this vehicle or any others I will for sure be returning here, thanks Tidwell!
Professional, Friendly and QuickI appreciate them for fixing my car quickly and having it ready the same day and at great price especially since I did not have an appointment. They stand behind their work. I was unable to pick my car the same day because of my schedule and they allowed me to leave my car overnight. I will definitely use them again.
Tidwell repaired my electric window that wasnt working. It works great and quiet now. Quality work. 5% discount since I paid cash. I recommend them!
Great and honestly people and you will not be taking advantage of ! Been coming here for 5 years my self and my family had been taking there cars here many years before that. We will never trust anyone else with our cars.
Fast friendly and affordable I was in and out in 30 minutes thankfully and the mechanics are especially friendly
Too bad my other review was not kept on here, that’s disappointing. But the work on getting my wheel bearing fixed was superb and fast. I was very relieved!
Tidwell employees are very friendly and honest. I have taken my cars there for specific services and am not afraid they will find something else wrong and try to upsell me.
Tidwells is the best! Great service, expert personnel, and honest and reasonable pricing. I trust these folks 100%!
Everyone was professional and helpful. My questions were answered thoroughly.
They are awesome people. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
They did a great job with my car and my friends car.
Picked up and then later delivered my truck after repairing the AC. Always attentive, listen to, and respond to all the details of my concerns about truck issues. Communication always prompt and friendly. Even fixed the lock on my door that I only mentioned as a heads up for their info. Happy to have a place for vehicle repairs so close to me and that I can trust.And again this year, excellent communication, fair prices, and thorough work!
There is a creepy woman who works here. She should learn to keep her comments to herself and mind her own business. I dont need to discuss anything with you, other than my car. Also, they do not wear masks when they are inside in the front office. We dont plan to use their services again. I would actually be afraid, in more ways than one, to go back there.
Just had an alternator replaced by them. Its working nicely, and I hope, its going to be working as the same in future. Wanna post the review because they are very good people.
We started taking our cars to Tidwell after making the rounds at other service centers. By far the best experience! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and not upselling you things you dont need. Plus their prices are some of the best out there. Weve saved quite a bit which makes any major work a little less painful. Highly recommended!
I always come here for my oil changes on both my cars. I love this place. They are always on time and very good. Best place .
Well performed service on a sliced on a damaged oil pan.
Always reliable.
Overall great job. Fast, friendly and at a fair price. They recommended additional routine maintenance but werent pushy about it. Great warranty too
Very pleased with the on-line scheduling system. Great for Covid-19 compliance and handy for my schedule. Looking forward to continued business as we have done for the past 20 years.
Good place to get car repaired. They stand by the work they do.
Fantastic little shop. This was my first time taking my truck to a mechanic (usually perform all maintenance myself). They exceeded my expectations and got my out much quicker than I had expected. Cost was very reasonable. Thanks guys!
A great shop to take your car to. I take my lexus there for oil changes. I havent had them repair anything or do any other maintenance to my car yet but I always have a good experience and they are pretty quick. Its always good to support local businesses as well!
We have used Tidwells Auto Service since 2000 for our personal vehicles and for the 3 daughters vehicles as well. We have sent friends and acquaintances to Tidwells. We have never been disappointed in 20 yrs. The employees are honest and hard working. The Receptionist can speak/understand automobile just about as well as the mechanics. Tidwells is a Jewel amongst auto repair shops in Plano, TX.
We have used Tidwell Auto Service for our automotive repairs for over 10 years, and they have always done a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. Troy Tidwell (the owner) is a great guy who operates his business with integrity. There was a time in the past where I have brought a car to Troy with an issue that other mechanics had diagnosed as costing thousands (axle and transmission issue), and Troys evaluation and repair (loose lug nuts) cost nothing. I cannot recommend Tidwell highly enough. If you are looking for a family mechanic that will give you an honest assessment of the issue with your car, does a great job with repairs (and they are done right the first time), for a very reasonable price (and ofter much lower than chain mechanic shops), that family mechanic you are looking for is Tidwell Auto Service.
I had the starter replaced on my geriatric 97 Nissan truck by Tidwell. Soon after getting it back, it started making an odd noise when starting up. I called them about it and, without hesitation, they told me to bring it back in and they would replace it. No discussion, no trying to sell me some additional service when I got there, and no charge. When I took the truck back they already had the replacement starter on their floor waiting for me.I highly recommend Tidwell.Chip
Tidwell has been a great asset to helping keep all 3 of our high mileage vehicles running great. We are restoring an older (1995) truck a little at a time and I would only trust Tidwell to work on that vehicle. Great prices and great service!
AccomodatingSince retirement, wife and I decided to only carry expense of one automobile. Brake fluid flush at regular intervals is manufacturers suggested maintenance. This is second time Tidwell has performed this service for me. Both times I called ahead, set up appointment and waited on service to be performed. When I arrived they wasted no time in getting me back on the highway.
A wonderful family business; honest, friendly, very low key. They didn’t charge me for the time they spent diagnosing my car’s problem. They completed the repairs within the quoted time and price. No up-selling, no surprises. They also printed out any recall notices for my car. Probably the most relaxing auto repair experience I’ve ever had!
Very honest service, they never try to up-sell you into unnecessary work. Prices are great, work is great, and people are great!
The most kind, trustworthy, quick auto service in Plano! I’m new to the area and they made me feel at ease with the care of my car. Did not try to sell me on different things I needed to fix, though I’m sure they would if the car was unsafe. Loved my experience here. Will come here for all of my car services!
Previous visits went smooth and I was happy with they work and the service but today was a complete turn around. Had a 10 am appointment, at 11 am they still had not taken the car to into the bay for work and had not bothered to say anything to me about the delay. Only when I asked for the keys back was I apologized to and told the car in front of me requested extra work and took longer than planned. OK how about either 1) telling me that instead of leaving sitting in the waiting room for an hour wondering whats going on. 2) telling the customer that requested the extra work that their was no time in todays schedule and set them up with a future appointment. 3) if you knew prior to my appointment call me before I get there so Im not wasting my time in your waiting room. Very disappointed with the todays front end customer service, Ill be think long and hard before coming back again.
Tidwell Auto Service has an extraordinary friendly and helpful staff. I have always been well satisfied with the quality of their repair and believe that they offer good value for their services.
I have no photos. Carburator? Tail pipe? What?Tidwell has been a competent, fair and helpful source of automotive service for many years. They do a good job at a reasonable price. Hal
Great place to go and get your car worked on. They are open about the whole process and even take the time to explain what is wrong with the car for you. They even listed out my priorities so I could slowly get the work done and still be able to drive safely. I am going to keep choosing Tidwell as along as I am in the area. If you live in Plano area, pick these guys for your car maintenance.
I always found that your crew does an excellent job on major repairs. Ive had the engine and A/C on my 2003 F-150 worked on by your crew and you have always done a great job.
Competent service with very reasonable price
I really like this company. I am a owner of a construction company and have many vehicles. Ive been going to this place for many years. Every time they offer a its reasonable on the price. But the service and quality of work has been better than any other car company Ive dealt with in the past. That is why I rated five stars. I only had to come back one time because something they fixed did not fix the problem. Thats not bad considering Ive been there 10 to 12 times to get my trucks fixed. But the best part I like about this company is not the friendly service and the quality of work, it is the Bible on the coffee table. Nobody does that anymore but they do and I appreciate it.
I visited this store in the past week several times. First time, I went to do the oil change as I overfill the oil and the car get much smoke. Service was excellent and front desk is very helpful. Afterwards, I find my rear brakes are too thin so I went there to replace them and also requested a full inspection as well. They helped to replace the brakes and give me a list of problems such as gasket leak, too much carbo. I believed they can fix and works after the repair. Now I find my turbo has some issue, I am totally depending on them now. Hope they can fix it ASAP. Reasonable price and sweet service, also promising timeline. I think it will be the only one I can trust from now on as long as I am in TX area now.
They inspected my vehicle and gave me sound advice on how to proceed with needed repairs
I have been a loyal customer of Tidwell Auto for over 15 yrs. I have referred them to countless family members, friends, coworkers, church members, and acquaintances not just because of the repairs and service the provide but because it is so rare in this day and age to find a business owner that believes in something and isnt afraid to share it with everyone. I believed Troy Tidwell believed in families, helping members of the community, treating employees and customers as people not dollar bills, and was a Christian who believed in putting others first. Evidently those things were his sales tools. Over the last several weeks he has kept his business open which that in itself isn’t where the problem lies the problem lies in why and his reasons he justifies those reasons with and his disregard for everyone of his employees, customers, vendors, members of the community and all of their families. He states he’s an essential business and yes he does qualify depending on what is considered essential which when repair shops were added were basically repairs that were needed due to safety or to keep someone’s only vehicle on the road. I don’t believe that offering to have employees pick up vehicles for oil changes or repairs people certainly weren’t concerned about before this offer or any other maintenance item or repair that can wait until this ends is what anyone had in mind. I emailed Mr Tidwell about my concerns regarding him not caring about his employees customers and their families health and safety and his reply was Sorry you are probably right, but I hope my business remains open. How can someone who has built a business on portraying himself to care so much have so little regard for the peoples lives both his employees and customers as well as there families justify staying open to make sure his business survives. This is the problem we are facing money has become more important than people. I’m urge you to reach out and make it known to him that it’s not ok to force people with families to continue to work so that his family continues to prosper as he is not anywhere to be found he’s secluded and he isn’t risking his life or his families.He not only continues to force them to work he has mandated they continue to take in all repairs hasn’t allowed his office or waiting area to close and as of today has no sanitizing stations available and there is not any safe guards in place for his employees.Please share with everyone you know.
I have used your services and am happy with the results. The mechanicsare knowledgeable, even across a WIDE RANGE of car brands. Thatsamazing when you think about it. They do a very good job explainingany problems (as well as explaining all the car owners options). Your car services are very good and your people are very personable. Your prices are fair and I like the fact that if I need to call I get a real human instead of a computer menu .
When working with Tidwell, you will only deal with 3 people. Troy, the owner sine 1977, oversees everything and is a good mechanic in his own right. Mario is a very excellent mechanic and I think he does the difficult jobs. Nicole answers the phone and is very friendly and easy to work with. We have been taking our cars to Tidwell since 2002 when we moved to Plano. I know that their service will be good, fair, and honest.
Megan & Amanda are great people to have at the front desk! They were both very helpful in answering my questions and talking about their services.Things to know,They take Synchrony Car Care, its a credit card that helps you finance anything over $199. Super helpful since care repairs arent cheap.They also will buy a Lyft for you to get home and back from the repair.Their owner has been here for 40 years and their head mechanic for 30!They also diagnose for free and will beat the price of most if not all placesNot opened on weekend, which is a bummer, but family first5 star experience and would come again!EDIT: I got a call from them mid service that they broke my driver side steering knuckle. I was shocked, but they assured me that they will pay for the new part and put it in for free. They took responsibility and were very honest about it. I picked up my car and it handles slightly better and that weird sound from the bearing is gone!
I took my car for an oil change and asked to check the air conditioner because I had concerns about it running when I was running the fan. The mechanic informed me that the air conditioner was working fine and so was the fan. It only needed tightening since I had the radiator replaced. It is refreshing that people do not try to push unnecessary repairs.
My Camrys engine was damaged and needed a replacement. This shop gave me the best price, couple thousand dollars lower than others. They get it done in a good quality. Its been two years since then, the car runs like a new. Thanks, Tidwell!
I have been working with this guys for my car needs and my experience with them has always been excellent. They are prompt in providing fair estimates for services and they are timely in completing repairs. Ive I had everything from my power booster to rear wipers replaced and each time the job has been done perfectly.
Really glad I found Tidwell Auto. They beat the dealerships price on my repairs and had the entire job complete in one day. I highly recommend Tidwell and will be going straight to them for all future repairs.
Tidwell Auto Service is conveniently located on Independence and Parker Rd in Plano. If you give them your email address, they will send you coupons to use for your next servicing. The quality of service and work is great. I asked to speak to one of the mechanics because I needed to ask him what exactly he did to the car. He was not only polite but very qualified and I would definitely go back to get my car serviced by them because of their quality of service and workmanship.
My experience was very pleasant the personnel were very polite and got the work done quickly. Due to the experience and past visits I am recommending Tidwell Auto Service to friends that I know in the Plano area.
Tidwell is our fleet mechanic and services all vehicles we own as well as some equipment we use. They are quick efficient and thorough and we rely on them daily. We highly recommend them needing a reliable auto maintenance company or mechanic. We thank you for the great service.
I havent been able to hang out with all of you much lately since I got my new Buick. I love your oil change Mondays. I love your personal, honest, real people approach. Lauren is such a terrific go-between translating mechanic lingo into customer-speak. I appreciate your understanding that Plano doesnt always mean Lexus, and there are a lot of folks who just need to keep their car running another year in this crumby economy. I feel like you and your staff have bent over backwards to help me out numerous times. There arent many businesses out there that do that!
Love Tidwells! Theyre not only helpful, but so kind. Small business in Plano with a HUGE heart. They gave me a ride home while my car was being serviced and came back to pick me up when it was done. Easy to schedule service and my daughter loves the old Dr. Pepper machine.
Tidwell auto provided quality service during the holidays to repair both an emissions issue as well door motor lock replacement. Received up to date status on the car as well as more than fair price (quoted way higher by Firestone). Thanks for the all your help Amanda and Troy. Will be back!
I recently had a full synthetic oil change performed at Tidwell Auto. I was in and out fast, according to my appointment schedule and the service was excellent as always, with no extra charges! Tidwell Auto has performed major and minor repairs on my cars for decades, and they are the best auto shop in town. Reliable, trustworthy, fair, honest, skilled ... good people ... understandable why Troy Tidwell has been in business since the 1970’s!
I used Tidwell Auto Service for Oil Changes and several other services. They were always expediate and more then fair in their pricing! Would highly recommend them and wish I was still in that area to use them for their services.
Sorry to say, had good service until.....they did a radiator flush and did not bleed it, so my engine overheated and....following phone calls....they did nothing. I was out an engine, $3,500 and it was my problem. I believe in small business, but this is not right. Bad service, bad workmanship, they did not correct it, or offer me anything. I had to sell my car and get a new one. Cost me thousands. I do not do many bad reviews, but this is UNETHICAL WORKMANSHIP. (Edit, update. While I was understanding what was going I with my vehicle, poor customer service, I could have been talked to with a little respect, rather than telling me this was my problem and I had one option, new engine. If they did a good job to begin with, which was a minor issue, and they bled the air, this would have never happened. Again, I apologize for a bad review, but I have to be honest and dont want anybody to go through what I went through.)
Horrible experience! Do not recommend!Liars, Cheats, bad mechanics!They diagnosed a problem after I brought in my vehicle, told me they could have it done next day. it sat in their shop for a WEEK.I spent 500 dollars with these guys and the problem didn’t even get fixed. So now I have nice new parts installed that I didn’t need and still a problem with my vehicle. It was a 1990s Ford!!! Come on.The icing on the cake. I brought in the vehicle after the problem came up again after they said they repaired it. They had it for 3 days, finally I called and they said “ yeah we don’t know what’s wrong with it but you can come pick it up now”
Tidwell Auto Service has made two major repairs on one of my vehicles and I have been more than pleased with the mechanical repair, pricing and professional actions. This is a business that does not attempt to sell you something you do not need. I consider the staff at Tidwell to be very honest, straight forward and knowledgeable which refreshes my thoughts of the auto repair business stigma. I will continue to do business with Tidwell Auto Service.
This Garage is unbelievable in Plano.They are honest, they call you back to follow up to be sure everything on your car is running OK. They are clean courteous, they will drive you and pick you up if need be, their prices are reasonable and they offer discounts and free oil changes on Mondays! I have been going to them for 8 months and cannot say enough about them. I have searched high and low and this is by far the best place I have ever been with my car. I would encourage you to try them the next time you need some maintenance done on your vehicle.
Superb service, as usual. Engine light came on, they checked it, noticed that a valve they had replaced in January had already failed, and it was replaced for free. I never took my wallet out.They are unfailingly friendly, polite and honest. Best auto mechanics Ive seen in 40 years.
Best in town - Always make you feel comfortable and welcome. Normally when you go to workshops you are cautious as they try up sell, here no issues like this - they are honest and transparent. May 2016I have always felt happy with their service and unlike other service centers where you get pushed to replace or repair things that actually were not needed. At Tidwell i never experienced that and felt comfortable.
Are these folks just plain good: friendly, efficient, reasonable, trustworthy?Nah. Theyre not good....Theyre GREAT!!!
Thank you so much for fixing my car. It works great now and hopefully I will not need any service for awhile. I appreciate you keeping me informed on the status of my car while you had it.
They were professional, courteous, and worked within my budget. The work was perfectly done and I have no complaints. Will definitely return.
3 weeks ago, our vehicle (Lexus RX330) stopped on a highway after the timing belt broke. My husband had it towed to Tidwell Auto Service, which is close to our house. It was our first time there.Our experience with the shop was good. Communication with the shop was pretty fast. After getting the new timing belt put in, we were told that the SUV needed a new engine. We took their advice and got it replaced. A couple of days later, we found out that the AC was no longer working. We also had been noticing a gas smell coming inside the SUV. We took it back. We were told that the gas smell was due to the recent engine swap and that over time, the smell would go away. We insisted that they check it again. They later found out that certain bolts inside were not tighten well enough after the engine swap and that was causing gas vapors to get thru inside. That issue got fixed. As for the the AC issue, it was not clear at what point (during the towing or during the engine repair) the condenser got cracked, but that was the issue identified. So, the the crack was causing the refrigerant to leak. They gave us a discount to get it fixed; we took it and got the AC issue fixed there as well.Overall, we spent over $5,250 there in a week and hope that the investment in the repairs was worthwhile. They gave us a 12-month warranty on the engine and a 2-year warranty on the AC condenser. So far, the SUV is running well and we are satisfied with the work done.The staff my husband interacted with (Megan and Amanda) were professional and prompt to address the issues brought to them. It has been less than a month since the repairs were done, but so far so good.
Brought my Chevy Suburban in for an oil change. Quick service. (Appointment made.) What is nice is that they also look over the vehicle for potential problems. Simple recommendations no scare tactics. Have been bring my vehicles here for awhile and i trust them. It is an honest business.
By far the best auto shop Ive had the experience of working with. I have had a lot of car troubles over the last few years between two different cars and every time I come in the front desk staff have been very accommodating and friendly. They took the time to explain my options and answer questions and I seriously appreciated it!I have always gone to pep boys or some other big name auto shop.... I always felt taken advantage of and stupid after those visits.Since starting to bring my car troubles to Tidwells... Ive definitely felt taken care of. Ive been super pleased so far!!
Received a fair price for shock installation. Work was done quickly and service was excellent. Highly recommend locally owned business!
Always professional, friendly, competent and timely. Working with Amanda and Megan is always a pleasure
I was so happy to discover an auto service in my area of residence. I have been very satisfied with all the services (and advise) I have received from your company. I have found your services and repairs timely, dependable and thorough in every manner. All employees with whom I have dealt have been courteous and promt with all responses. I am delighted to have found such a trustworthy and dependable auto service in Plano. I appreciate you and your employees and do not hesitate to recommend your service to others. Keep up the good work.
I brought both of my vehicle in for AC and brake inspection. Received an honest assessment on both vehicle. Will have the work complete soon. Would highly recommend Tidwell to anyone looking for a honest auto service place.
My son, Mark, has used your service also, but I am writing the review as Harold. We have always enjoyed fair, effective service at Tidwell. Their drop-off service makes is so convenient. We always recommend Tidwell when anyone asks about a good shop.
Im always coming here for all car services!! Lauren and Nicole are super friendly, helpful, polite, and never hesitate to help find affordable parts while providing superior customer service. The mechanics here are talented, quick, and friendly as well. I highly recommend this place
We very much enjoy doing business at Tidwell automotive services. The work is thorough and honest, the price is very fair, staff are all very helpful and friendly; they work to help us with our automotive repair and maintenance needs in every way they can. We have found the work done our cars here to be of superior quality. We feel very fortunate to have access to this business and do recommend them to all our friends and neighbors.
I have had nothing but positive experiences at the business. I will definitely return for any future work that I need done. They have been way better then El Dorado Mazda which has given me nothing but dishonesty and stress.
The folks at Tidwell were so fast in providing a quote over the phone and then doing the work, we were very impressed. I realize that such speed is subject to their schedule but they seem to want to satisfy their customers with quality work and speedy service and above all, honesty. I highly recommend them!
Run! Horrible experience. Will never go there again. The lady at the front desk (she said she was the manager) was extremely rude, aggressive and lied to me. No customer service. I explained on the phone that I needed to get the car back before 3pm because I had to pick up a child from school. I was told that the repair would take about 1.5 hours. I came in next day, handed over the car and came back 1.5 hours later. I was told by a mechanic that they had not started working on it because someone dropped the ball and that they went for a lunch break. I left again and came back an hour later, now close to the time where I had to leave to pick up my child. The lady at the front desk said that the repair was more complicated than they had thought. When I told her that this was not true, they had gone on a lunch break, she became hostile and said that since I had come in 10 minutes after the scheduled appointment time, I should not expect that theyd start working on my car. I told her that now nobody could pick up my child, and that I didnt know what to do next, but she said that this was not her problem, and offered no solution or apology. The more I tried to explain, the more rude and aggressive she became, telling me that I understood nothing about how car shops work, that I was rude and that I should expect nothing from them since I was 10 minutes late for the appointment. She said that I was on camera, to which I replied that the camera must have captured that she lied about the repair being complicated when instead they had just gone to lunch. I asked to speak to the mechanic (she said he was with another customer) and I asked to speak with Mr. Tidwell (she said he was not there). I ask myself why Mr. Tidwell employs a manager who is so hostile, uncaring and lies to customers. Where are their proclaimed Christian values? I will never go to there again.
Have had my cars repaired and serviced there for almost 35 years.Owner Troy is a Christian businessman and backs his work.
Definitely make an appointment before going. I was lucky and was able to be serviced. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT AND QUICK! No more than 15 minutes for my oil change. I also had a Groupon deal that was a steal! When I arrived I was given a coupon booklet for my other paid for services AND additional FREE and discounted services. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Family owned, friendly, fair pricing, and quality work. I’ve taken my vehicles here for aver 5 years. Troy and his team are the best.
We love tidwell auto in plano. we have used them for 15 years. thyre not mazda specific, but theyve always done a great job on all of our cars/trucks!
First time for us to use Tidwell but it was a pleasant experience. They were courteous, helpful and got my car repaired promptly. Will be going back for our next car repair.
All in all, your service is very good. Youve gotten my car fixed somewhat quickly and the repairs are aways top-notch. Ive always been more than happy to recommend anyone to go there if they need to have their car fixed.
I visited this place of business to get an oil change and while I was there I realized I needed my yearly inspection. Although I did not have an appointment they conducted the inspection with no problem. The front desk staff were very friendly! As a woman, I hate frequenting automotive places because I always feel Im being tricked into services. Not at Tidwell...I will return!! Thanks for the great customer service.
These guys are great! It is hard to find an honest mechanics and this place has them. I drive all the way from Carrollton just to get work done on my 2 cars here because they are always honest and fair. I highly recommend.
Fair prices.above average quality of work and attention to detail.clear and timely communication.courteous and attentive staff.
