Eric and the guys at 1st Choice are great. Had a cooling problem with my 2012 Nissan X Terra, which left me on the stranded on the side of the road. I called Eric and he took care of the whole thing. From towing to delivery, after the repairs, everything was handled with professionalism. Will be my repair shop for all my vehicles from now on.

We called First Choice at the recommendation of a friend. We had fuel leaking from our truck, which I had identified as a hole in the fuel line. I was going to repair it myself, but wasn’t confident about all the specialty tools I would need.First Choice had my truck for a total of 3 hours and it was fixed.They found that the leak was not in the filter line, but at the fuel filter housing, saving me tons of money!!!Will recommended them to anyone looking for a shop they can trust.

I want to say these guys are awesome every step of the way. They are knowledgeable, friendly. Helpful, very affordable and they call you and give you updates to your repair. I got seval quotes from other places, such as Don riengler chevelot, ammco and a couple other places in killeen and copperouse Cove. But these guys were the best in all areas that I mentioned. I would recommend them to anyone having problems with thier transmission. I was impressed, and it's nice to know business like this still believe in customer service and quality service.Thank you again,sincere, ,F.W. Lenderman

My son was stranded coming home for Thanksgiving on 183. I called and spoke with Shawn who really set our mind at ease in assisting us in getting my son and his car to their shop. While we ended up towing the car back to our house when we found he was actually broken down near Liberty Hill. They were so kind and caring in our emergency situation. I will definitely recommend them for anyone in Killeen.

I cannot express how much gratitude I have for 1st Choice. It’s such a family oriented shop and they pass that feeling along to the customers. Eric and Sean (Service Advisors) always take the time to explain everything, making it easy to understand what exactly needs to be done to your vehicle and actually show you proof. They never try to cheat you out of your money. I appreciate all the service technicians and mechanics there.Frank, you’ve done such a great job picking your team! Thank you all for always taking care of me as a customer and my vehicle.

I wasn’t going to write a review about my experience, but felt compelled to. A couple of weeks ago my vehicle was damaged and inoperable. On 10/14/22, looked online for auto repair businesses, I immediately saw First Choice Automotive Repair because of its good ratings. So, I decided to give them a call (in retrospect I really should have looked around) to see if I could have my car towed to their shop. I remember speaking to Eric, he informed me of the $134 fee to have my car examined and I agreed; I had my car towed the same morning.A few hours later I received a call from Eric, he told me what was wrong with my car (steering system damage, electric belt drive rack & pinion steering, air bag contact coil, control arms, alignment, fender repair, etc) and gave me an estimate around $5,4000 to have all the damages repaired, and he suggested financing options for the repairs. At this point, I was in a dispute with my insurance company, so I knew there was a chance that I might have to pay for the repairs.A couple of days later, I called back and this time I spoke to Sean, and I asked him how much it would cost to get my running meaning repairing steering system damage, electric belt drive rack & pinion steering, air bag contact coil, control arms, alignment, and waiting to fix the fender another time. He told me to get in back operable it would be $4,409.81 and another $2,205.00 to repair the fender, totaling $6,614.81. I was very shocked because a few days prior, Eric gave me an estimate of $5,400 for all damages, I knew then I had made a bad choice of taking my car there.They were very admit about me coming there and signing the estimate. I went to the shop, and both Eric and Sean were there, so asked what happened to price of the estimate and why did it increase so drastically. They were very dismissive, I remember Sean saying, “oh prices go up and down.” I was very suspicious and upset, but I signed the estimate because I needed to get my car fixed, so I ended up paying the $4,409 to get my car running. I really did not understand, how can the estimate be one amount, especially after my car was fully examined and a few days increase so significantly?So, I filed a complaint with the BBB and Office of the Attorney General, because I truly feel that I was excessively overcharged and charged for repairs that I really do not need. So, I just want people (especially women) to be aware of some businesses predatory practices in an effort to get you to pay more money. This was a lesson learned for me moving forward, I will do my homework when seeking an auto repair shops in the future.Side note: My insurance company did send an appraiser to appraise my car. His estimate total for all damages was $5,664.35.

Awesome service, straight up dudes and efficient. Any complaints on here are from people who are too cheap and expect to get the job done with expectation of "how they believe it should be priced". Good work doesn't come cheap, they have zero knowledge of the industry and just want to complain to feel self rightious, and if there is an issue after you get your car back these guys will help take care of it. Go and find out for yourself, these guys are good dudes. There is a reas9n why there are more 5 star reviews than 1.

2018 Ford F150 4x4 was making humming sound from front end. Carmax sent truck to 1st Choice Auto Repair and I couldn't have been more pleased. Eric called and explained in detail what the issue was (front right wheel bearing and hub assembly) and answered all my questions. The customer service was great and work was completed as explained on time. Will definitely return for future auto needs!

They order the drive shaft/propeller shaft once they received it, they installed the part and I was able to pick up my Challenger. Plus it has a five year warranty!

I took my car to have some brake work done. I was expecting to pay for my services. They informed me that my brakes were covered under the warranty from last year when I got the brake repair. I did not have to pay anything. My vehicle is running good now. It surely is good to know that I can trust 1st Choice without feeling I am being overly charged on repairs. Thank you 1st Choice!

I liked many things about first choice. One of the things that I like the most is their transparency. They called with what the issue was and gave us time to digest on what our next move should be, and we're very low pressure about it. We went ahead with the repair and a couple days after. They even called to check in to make sure the battery was still working properly. I appreciate your help, and we will definitely be using you guys from now on.

I took my son's car there to get fixed and the techs were so amazing. They walked us through the process keeping us informed telling us what was needed and how things were going. We received a fair estimate and was asked how they can help with anything else. I really felt like family with them. We will definitely recommend and return for future repairs. This was a great experience.

I went here this morning and gave the guy at the desk a list of things I need for my BMWX5. I told him I like to get an estimate. The guy said we don't do that here, that not what we do. I was shock. He did not have a name tag but if he did I would have told you his name. I said to myself you going to do work on my car and I don't know how much it going to cost. I thought it was the law to let people know how much it going to cost before you work on their car. Red flag for me. There was 2 other things on the list that he said he couldn't do because he need a machine. Red flag for me because on the website it say they Specialize in Import and Domestic total car care. I took my paper and left and said I will stay with the dealer. Plus the dealer is a in and out service.

I'm in real jam with broken power steering pump pulley and trying to get to Spokane WA. Frank wouldn't do the replacement with the replacement part that me took 2 weeks find. Way to go there, to help someone in need. Hope you think about this someday when you need help. So partners....dont bring your own part to this shop. Even if you really need the help.MESSAGE TO OWNER:I have a Factory. OEM Mopar Part. Not some alternate part or remanufactured junk. Sorry, but you're trying to stand behind some money making matto to protect you from liability. What a joke. Try to help someone that really needs it.I'm a good old school dude grew up in Northwest. You Texans got a lot to learn about helping people.Good luck to you and remember this.

This automotive repair shop is amazing. With so many great reviews from satisfied customers, I decided to bring my 2014 Ram 1500 truck to this automotive shop. My Ram had a number of faults as described in my electronic vehicle information center. The personnel at this shop took care of my truck issues in a prompt and professional manner. I was kept informed of the progress of the repairs throughout the entire process. Their fees were very reasonable and Matt was attentive and very courteous. I certainly was not disappointed with the professionalism, quality of work performed, the honesty of the personnel and the promptness in which they repaired my vehicle. If you want your vehicle repaired right and at a reasonable price, then take it to First Choice Automotive. The name says it all. This will be my repair shop from now on. Thank you Matt for a job well done.

After getting scammed twice by another shop and a mobile mechanic, I looked at first choice automotive to fix my 2008 Ford Focus Clutch.I called the shop and spoke with Matt who had my focus on a tow truck within an hour and as soon as it got to the shop they began working on it.They not only diagnosed the clutch but the entire car and gave me quotes and pictures of everything that was wrong with the car.They did not order any parts without my permission or try to sell me anything I did not want. They kept continuous DAILY communication with me through the entire process.The job was done extremely well and the five year warranty and easy financing with 100 days same as cash option puts your mind at easy.The entire company was very professional especially Matt who I worked with the most.Thank you Matt and the entire team at First Choice Automotive. I will be taking other cars here in the future.

The team did a great job replacing the radiator on my 06 Honda, and they gave me estimates on other issues that will need to be addressed. Their pricing is fair, everything is in print, and communication is honest and factual. Go see them!

Honestly Killeen shops will rip you off , this is a nice amazing respectful shop they don’t care if your a woman or man they will still treat you the same , I took my car in I honestly didn’t expect fast service like that due to the traffic they get . They call you stay in contact with you and make sure they give you the details that you need , they walk you through every little detail including prices parts and plenty more I was honestly amazed I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else also not to mention they work is great and you also get warranty! Take your car to them if you want amazing quality and good prices !

My son is stationed at Ft. Hood and his starter went out on 2008 Honda CR-V. Had it towed to nearest place and a week later and $1200 later they told him he had a blown head gasket. I am in North Carolina and did some research and found First Choice with great reviews. We got vehicle over there and Matt took care of us. He found a hard to find part and took care of a few other things. He kept me abreast the whole time of what was going on and my son just picked up car. I appreciate honest people and I can trust Matt and his team. That is a big deal for us back here in NC. Thank you.

Called them up and told them my AC problem. They told me to drop it off and they would get it taken care of. Wasn't expecting them to get to it today, but Matt was able to get it taken care of today! Great customer service and now my AC is blowing ice cold! He didn't try to over diagnose for something I didn't need and the pricing was fair and reasonable. Highly recommend them for any of your auto repair needs. I will be back for any future work I need on my vehicles! Thank you!

So my wife had called a good 20-25 transmission shops from Killeen to Austin...in regards to a full transmission replacement on her car cause she plans on racing it at track and blowing motor and transmission so she can forge and build her motor and transmission in her car every shop that she called told her the cost is some where between 750-1200$ to replace it. The guy that she spoke with flat out refused to give her a quote without seein the car..BTW 124.99$ to bring it to this shop...she explained to him that he was the only shop in a lot of shops that refused to give a "BALLPARK" over the phone. She then threatened to write a bad review he put her on hold...to then more than likely put her on speaker..HAHA then tried to act like "HE JUST COULD NOT GIVE a BALLPARK ESTIMATE/AVERAGE COST" not a GUARANTEE...haha she even tried to explain that an average cost is not something a shop needs to see a car about.All of this being said...if I could have given them a ZERO STAR for customer service and a ZERO STAR for pricing. This shop is a rip off cause THEY MUST SEE YOUR VEHICLE...so you will then have to pay them their 124.99$ look at your car FEE...The guy was super rude to my wife even though she explained all of the above thoroughly to him.

They also left a thank you treat😊 Ask for Eric (excellent customer service) at the branch on 900 Leifester Cir Killeen, TX, 76549.

I initially visited First choice to get my AC looked at. Through the due diligence of Eric I needed more work(I have an older truck). I was somewhat hesitant being another auto shop has failed me. But after Eric's great customer service and explaining everything to me. I couldn't be happier I chose them! Great work. Great customer service.

I took my truck in to get wheel hub replaced and I was told I needed to replace my fuel filters and that my oil was extremely low. Fuel filter was replaced and oil was changed both meters were reset two weeks prior to going to the shop. My truck is a diesel those services would have been an extra 500$ Or more. Shops these days are not to honest and nickel and dime you.

Came in with a busted up 91 Jeep Cherokee that wouldn't start and they had me roll back out within a week. Were super transparent with me and kept me in the loop through phone the whole time about the status of the vehicle and issues I wasn't aware of. Always offered for me to look at any issues before they worked on them and never tried to trick me out of any money or do less than what they were paid for. Fair and honest professionals the whole way and I'll definitely be returning.

1st Choice has reasonable prices. They are honest and their work ethic are second to none. Mat was the one who got the ball rolling and Eddie did the fine job on my radiator.

I have used this repair shop for both of my automobiles for years. Just recently my lower ball joint went on my 03 Denali.....called Mon to get it up there and by Tue was done with both upper and lower ball joints, tire rods, and axel. Great and efficient service as well as staff all the time.

I brought my Chevy Colorado in for a diagnostic on a concerning sound I was hearing from the back end. They were able to find the issue in a timely manner and explained other potential issues in simple and understanding terms without “mansplaining” it to me. I felt very respected and not taken advantage of as a woman coming in basically stating, “there’s a sound and I need help!”. I ended up getting my truck fixed with them due to such a great price. The truck was in and out same day! Great customer service and everybody was so friendly! Thank you 1st choice automotive!

These guys are amazing. Matt took our van in when we were denied service at our "go to" mechanic(they quoted us 4k in repairs) but here at First Choice, they repaired our van at a FRACTION of the price. I can't thank him enough for the kindness he showed us. I'd recommend this shop to anyone. They're honest. And nowadays, that's been hard to come by. I hope nothing but the best for Matt, First choice and the entire crew!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the all around service. Eric was very kind from the initial interaction. Frank did an awesome job replacing my emergency brake. I could tell he even topped off my brake fluid, my vehicle is running great. The customer service is also top notch. Eric called a few days after my vehicle was repaired to ensure it was running to my satisfaction. 100% recommend!
