I am new in town so finding a good honest mechanic is not easy. Elias is amazing, runs his own shop and is upfront on the costs involved. He gave me a worst case scenario and was $100 below that because he is honest. I would have paid the worst case but it shows his integrity! I highly recommend him, it s just him in the shop and he is busting his butt off to make it so give him a try. Strong work ethic and honesty is rare!

Elias was extremely personable and friendly. I loved how he showed me exactly how my car worked and different options to repair. Great prices, too. Would recommend to anyone.

They replaced my water pump on my car in which had no previous issues until this. My boyfriend was referred to them. The reviews made me along with the recommendations made me comfortable being I have very hard time trusting mechanics and they were a little less expensive then Goodyear who just did a diagnostic and I had one done before I moved to the area a year ago. Well I get my car back still running hot and the engine light on with a recommendation of a new head. Which shock me as I kept the maintenance up on my car. I took my car back to Goodyear to get checked out again well come to find out no coolant was put in it like my receipt said it was and oil was in my radiator so they didn t flush my radiator after replacing the water pump. A serpentine belt and thermostat along with radiator flush was put on my car by Goodyear. No engine light and my car is running perfect. It would have cost me much less if I would have just let Goodyear fix it in the beginning.

On a Sunday one of my headlights had burnt out and I needed it replaced that day because I had work later tonight. I went/called tothree different car services that have garages nationwide and none of them could do it that day. Found this place and gave him a call, and he said he could replace it for me all I had to do was go buy the bulbs. He is such a hardworking and cool guy working out of a small garage all by himself. I'm very thankful and would definitely think about going to him againServices: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical

Our 2020 Chevy traverse was making an awful rattle sound. We went to a mechanic (first choice auto) who told us we needed a belt / pulley replacement. After diagnosing our vehicle they then said we needed front sway bar links and strut mounts, not a belt. After we received the parts we were told by another mechanic it was a belt not sway bar links. I googled and found Elias. He came in on his day off diagnosed our vehicle with a broken muffler bracket within 5 minutes. He fixed it right then. So knowledgeable and reasonable with his pricing. Can not recommend enough.

I took my Chrysler Town and Country to Thumbs Up Automotive Repair. Elias did everything he promised and more. I found him to be of high moral character with honesty and integrity. He is obviously very talented as a mechanic and was able to diagnose and repair my vehicle in a timely and professional manner. The vehicle now runs much, much better than it has in the past. I found the cost to be very fair and upselling did not occur. I am very thankful for Elias and his business for taking care of my vehicle and will be going to him in the future for any needed repairs on my vehicles. I certainly recommend Elias and Thumbs Up Automotive to anyone in need of help with the repair of their vehicle.Service: Engine repair

Elias is an excellent mechanic! I towed my vehicle to his shop on a Sunday. Great communication the next day and was able to diagnose the problem. Very honest about the issues my vehicle was having. He even send pics while he was working on my car! I knew immediately I found a gem in McKinney. Don t take your car anywhere else! Thank you Elias for going above and beyond!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I needed to replace my belt tensioner immediately. Elias accommodated me sensing the urgency and fixed my RAV4 a day earlier than scheduled. Price was affordable. I've been looking for an honest, good, fair mechanic for years.

Elias has done so much work to my vehicle over the last couple years it s hard to keep up. A few of the things have included oil changes, tire rotation, replacing breaks, control arm replacement, spark plugs, ignition coil replacement, and multiple electrical issues. He has always been great at diagnosing the issue and has literally saved me thousands of dollars and hours of time. He is fast and honest. He genuinely wants to help people and make sure his customers are taken care of. You won t find this great of a mechanic or person to take care of your car.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Tire rotations, Engine repair, Brakes, Auto brake replacement, Battery, Oil change

Thumbs up saved us the other day when my truck overheated near the shop. It was an emergency and we didn t want to tow our truck to another location. Boy did we luck out with the service provided. Firstly, the owner offered to drive us home back to Frisco. He then promptly changed my water pump and thermostat the following day at a fair and competitive price without any haggling. He even showed us the defective parts and it was apparent they needed replaced. We recommend thumbs up any day of the week!Services: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

I called Lias, and asked him if he would be able to take a look at my car sunroof, the motor was not working, and I had bought the replacement motor. I need it installed. I came by the shop, and he immediately came outside when he saw my car pull up, and started to take a look. I had got a couple other quotes for around $1000 from local shops, which I though was outrageous. They were telling me it was 6-7 hours of labor. Lias replaced the motor in 30 minutes! And only charged me $125, I was getting quotes for around $900. Lias was very professional, and I know after interacting with him that he is someone I can trust. Finding a trustworthy mechanic is hard, but I know I can trust Lias, and will definitely be coming to him in the future for any car repairs. I highly recommend Thumbs up Mechanic!

Thumbs up to this mechanic! They did a full inspection of my car. Friendly, courteous.Treated me like a person! Not like other places that try and gouge you or treat you differently for being a woman! He let me know about upcoming problems I may have. Highly recommend using this company!Service: Engine repair

I am extremely disappointed. I don't have a mechanic up here and my mechanic was too far away to tow to. I had my car towed here because of all of the good reviews and went to call this morning, only to be welcomed to a non-working number. I then went to Facebook to send a message to the shop because there is no website, and that's when I saw a post about them being closed until April 5th. I can only tow my car once every 72 hours, so now I have to pay a tow out of pocket to get it to a mechanic who is open. I have my own business and there is no reason not to update google with your hours and times you are closed. You can also post updates to google to let your customers know when you won't be open.

I took in my 2014 Toyota 4Runner to thumbs up mechanic because my vehicle was making a terrible shake. I had taken it to a different mechanic shop that was not able to find the issue. I left my vehicle with thumbs up mechanic and they took great care of my vehicle and located the problem. I will definitely be returning and recommending them to all my friends and family. Thank you so much !Service: Transmission
