Poco Automotive is awesome! On our return drive to New Orleans and in the middle of a 650 mile road trip with my elderly parents on 12/27/21, I experienced a flat tire. I'm so thankful that Poco Automotive. They were immediately able to repair the flat and get us back on the road in no time. What could've been a terrible mess, Poco Automotive turned into a pleasant, memorable experience. Very professional and courteous and the pricing was less than expected. Thank you Poco Automotive. A great business.

The worst expierence at an auto repair shop ever. Let me tell you how my expierence went:
Me: hello, I have an oil leak in the back passenger side of my truck. I think there is a bad seal and the oil is leaking.
Poco: okay, we charge $85 diagnostic fee.
Me: okay, no problem, I really need this fixed.
... 24 hrs later
Poco: yes, you do have an oil leak exactly where you said. It's you break vacuum pump. Sorry, we do not fix that... That will be $85. Thank you.
Me: thinking in my head... you just charged me $85 to confirm what I just told you the issue was?!?!?
I do not recommend

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
Have used them for years and will continue to do so. Always quick turn around time on repairs and fair pricing. Customer service is amazing. Had a battery die in parking lot down the street and the manager walked over there with battery charger, got it fixed, and didn't even charge me anything. Just good people.

Very good people with the best "old fashioned" care and values. Bobby and the crew went above and beyond what is expected. From a great price on diagnostic on our broken down vehicle, to a no strings attached loaner vehicle (without even knowing us) and personally driving me 30 miles out of town to get a rental vehicle to get our family home! Thank Bobby and crew we met some very great Americans at a low point in our life: from the Eagles Nest gas station to Gosset towing and Poco Automotive. Y'all Keep your lights shining in a ever darkening world. God bless you all and God bless America!

I base my review on a couple of important items.
1. Was the work done correctly?
2. Was the cost competitive?
3. Was the job done on time?
4. Did the staff treat me well?
POCO excelled on all counts. I called for an appointment, which they provided. When I showed up they took my vehicle on time and gave me an answer in 20 minutes. The repair was scheduled and parts ordered. When I called for an update they gave me an updated time for the repair. The vehicle was finished at the time that they said. The cost was what they estimated, which I had agreed to. I'm satisfied that the repair

One icy January morning, 2006, I slid into a curb in my Jetta TDI on my way to work, and the car hasn't driven straight since, and has made a lot of rattling sounds that seem to come from just about every bolt in the car. I took it to several dealers, tire and alignment shops, and an expensive European car shop, all of which charged me for an alignment and when I got it back, still not driving straight, they blamed it on everything from tires, bent frame, bad bearings, shocks... I even had one place tell me after they aligned it, "Oh, it's supposed pull to the right because that
