Missouri City Car Care

Missouri City is home of one of the longest lasting car shops, Missouri City Car Care. Don’t come here looking for wi-fi and frappucino machines while you wait. Instead, you may hear Luther Vandross playing while the skilled mechanics are working hard on your car rain or shine.

This family owned shop has been in business for over 20 years and is run by a soft-spoken man who goes by one name, Boone. “This is the first shop in Missouri City, I used to work here part time and then my friend sold it to me when he moved to Tyler,” says Boone. Many Missouri City residents take their cars to Boone to get work done. “We are good to people and give them good service, we don’t cheat them, and that’s why they come back,” he says. Boone is something like a local celebrity, “I see customers every where I go, I went to Lake Charles and saw customers, I went on a cruise and saw customers, I see customers at the grocery store.”

After running Missouri City Car Care for over 20 years, Boone is retiring and passing on the family business to his son Charlie. At 27-years-old, Charlie has learned the tricks of the trade from his father, “school just wasn’t for me, the mechanics classes I took were just too slow, I already knew everything.” Charlie plans on continuing the tradition of good quality work on the cars they service and have no plans to make any major changes. “Lately things have been slower because of the economy but there’s still work to do,” says Charlie. “We’re not going to make too many changes, we like the way things are.” Mo. City Car Care mechanics service everything on the car except for the transmission. If you need an oil change, expect to pay between $25 – $30 plus tax. A tune up may run you between $95 – $210 (depending on if your car is four cylinder or six cylinder). Brakes making too much noise? Expect to pay around $95 plus the cost pads. So, if you live in “The Mo” or find yourself in car trouble while in the area, the good folks at Missouri City Car Care will be at your service.
