About Ponchie's

Meet Alfonso “Ponchie”

The guy who answers the phone is the guy who fixes your car. Walk in and you'll see pegboards full of specialty tools, bench-stock parts and souvenirs, the way a real neighborhood shop should look.

Foreign or domestic, daily driver or a classic other shops won't touch: he'll tell you straight what it needs, quote it fair, and keep his word.

Ponchie's is an independent shop on Round Tuit Lane in Princeton, Texas, and some customers have trusted Ponchie with their cars for a decade. When one driver's car wouldn't start, he came to her within 30 minutes.
