El Gato

If you live on Potranco outside the loop (1604) and need to drop off old tires this is a good location. The mechanics were friendly and got me in and out in minutes. I didn't even have to get my kids out of their car seats. The charge for tire disposal is $2/tire.

I love this place. The mechanic can do anything the "bigger" places can for a lot less. I now take my cars there for everything. Recently had an emergency and pulled in, I was taken care of quickly and on my way in no time. These guys are awesome and I recommend taking cars, trucks, and even lawn mowers to them.

Do not go to this place for anything, the owner claims to be a certified mechanic, but when you give him the ok to do any work he has his inexperienced uncertifed helper’s complete the work while he stands back with a cup of coffee. The shop managed to destroy my vehicle, for a $1 more I would recommend the shop up the street, at least they stand behind their service and reputation, and I guess it does not pay to save that extra buck. This a small business that is trying to offer good deals but it’s shops like this that give the legitimate ones a bad rap, do everyone a favor and stick to busting tires and leave the mechanic work to the professionals and certified mechanics.
