Hank’s Auto Repair in Lindale Texas

Where can you find good quality and efficient auto repairs at a reasonable price locally?
Answer – Hanks Auto in Lindale.

Located conveniently on Hwy 69 in Lindale between Neals Garden Center and Pizza Inn on the opposite side of the road from Walmart, is Hanks shop. They offer general auto repairs and service, a brake service, tires and transmissions.

Hanks is always busy – a sign of a good reputation. They open early in the morning and close around 6 pm, and all day there are customers coming and going. You can phone for an appointment, or just drop in. If you can leave your vehicle all day until they have time to look at it then this is ideal. There is also a warm waiting room if you need to stick around.

We took my husband’s pickup truck there recently. It needed an inspection, tires and there was a funny noise that we couldn’t locate. The tires were no problem, the inspection cost just $14 but the noise proved a more difficult problem to solve. For some reason, the vehicle would not perform when examined! Not one or two or even three – but four of their mechanics took the trouble to take the truck for a test drive to get it to make the noise and they even had the bright idea of keeping it overnight and trying it early in the morning in case it was cold related. It still didn’t make the noise and in fact, it hasn’t since. Perhaps the very threat of being given the once over by the experts at Hanks scared the noise away! What impressed us was the effort the mechanics took over this problem and that they charged us nothing for the time they took trying to find and locate the mystery noise.

This was the second positive experience we have had at Hanks. It comes recommended.

When we pulled into the parking lot of Jalpita Mexican restaurant I thought to myself, “No way.” My dad had suggested eating at Jalpita, but this was not what I had in mind. The building was rather rundown and it was not located in the best part of town. I was reluctant to venture in, but dad assured me that he had eaten there several times, and the food was great. So reluctantly I put my trust in him and went inside. At the counter I noticed that the food on the menu was very inexpensive; everything was around three dollars. This turned me off even more with the saying in mind, “You will get what you pay for.” At my father’s suggestion, I ordered a “Super Quesadilla.” From the first bite, I was very surprised and pleased; the food was delicious! Here was some of the best Mexican food I had ever eaten and there was a lot of it for only $3.50.

I eat at Jalpita often now, and I am always surprised at the variety of people who patronize the restaurant. In the parking lot one can see anything from a beat up pickup truck, to a shiny new BMW. Jalpita is located on Lindsey Lane, which is off of Vine Avenue, and there is now a branch on the N, NE Loop 323. Despite its looks, Jalpita offers great food for low prices. It is now my number one choice for Tyler TX Mexican food.
