Heights Mobil - West 18/Ella Blvd

Good morning everyone! The accident on Ella near W 18th took out the ATT box so Heights Mobil phones and internet are down. We are practicing our patience at this point as they say it’ll be as much as 36 hours before it’s back.

If you’re in the area and so inclined, we’d love it if you’d “favorite” Heights Mobil on Nextdoor! 😊

MASSIVE THANK YOU TO OUR WONDERFUL CUSTOMER THAT SENT SMOOTHIES TO THE GUYS AT THE END OF THE DAY!
IT WAS PERFECT AND SO APPRECIATED!

07/03/2023

Hey neighbors, Heather at Heights Mobil Car Care here.

Unfortunately we have no choice but to close the repair shop on Saturdays. At 105.8 in the bays, this heat is brutal and our guys are working hard all day, doing their best, without a single complaint. But having one day off is just not enough to recover from the week. I can personally attest to this as Gene and I spend all day Sundays feeling like zombies.

It’s scary for us; we’re a small business and can’t afford to shut down an additional day, but honestly if we ever put business before our employees and customers, we will get out of the business. I hope for our customer’s understanding and support during this transition.

Our new hours until further notice will be Monday thru Friday 8am-6pm. — at Heights Mobil - West 18/Ella Blvd.

The gas station and convenience will be open normal hours.

Thank you to our customers for voting us a Carfax top rated service center again for 2022!

Happy to share that we had another great month of round ups for Animal Justice League!

Since we started our round up program in February ’22, we’ve forwarded $3160.00 to Animal Justice League alone, and over $8000.00 to all charities combined!

We have such generous customers and we are happy to play a small part in a great effort.

For the next few months we will be featuring Sinclair Elementary, and through our customers, helping to fund some of their outdoor projects like their children’s garden and playground.

02/03/2023

Customers came through again for our charity of the month, Animal Justice League and we will continue the support for AJL through the end of February.

For those that aren’t aware, we offer our awesome customers the option of rounding up their purchases (or giving any amount they’d like) and at the end of each month we forward 100% of the roundups to the featured local charity. It’s been a successful way to combine small amounts from lots of people (January had 954 donations) and make a big difference in the lives of those in need.

It’s important to note that Heights Mobil is just a conduit for giving, it’s our thoughtful and generous customers that make this a success.

Since the start of the Round Up program we have forwarded $6363.47 in donations to very worthy local non profits benefiting children and animals in dire need.

Thank you for letting us be a part of that.

01/14/2023

Yesterday was the single largest day of round ups since the start of the program almost a year ago, $82.82 !!
59 times people rounded up including at least one $20 donation. Perhaps at this rate, January will exceed December’s high.
Animal Justice League for the win!

Here are just a few of the cuties that are available through AJL right now!

01/02/2023

What an excellent way to wrap the year! December and January we’re featuring Animal Justice League as our area non profit recipient of our customer’s generosity and our AMAZING CUSTOMERS did not disappoint! I believe this is our highest month yet at $832.14 and 983 times our customers chose to add a little extra to their total.

For those that don’t know, anytime you’re visiting Heights Mobil - West 18/Ella Blvd and making any purchase, you will have the opportunity to round to the next dollar for the featured nonprofit of the month. We are very careful about which charities we choose to highlight and they receive 100% of our customer’s donations.

We started last February and the program has been quite a success. So far we’ve brought attention to the extraordinary work of Animal Justice League, Oak Forest Foster Closet, Rescued Pets Movement, Friends For Life Animal Shelter and First3Years.

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO OUR CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT!

11/02/2022

October was a good month for our charity of the month, First 3 Years.
Our generous customers rounded up 1155 times for a total donation of $757.11! The avg round up was .66 cents, and it just goes to show that if everyone does a little, together we can do a lot!

Looking for car care in Houston? We've partnered with Heights Mobil Car Care, where they can assist you with your auto needs while you can support infants and toddlers through donations with your purchase!

See you on the road! 🚗

If you’re a customer and so inclined, we’d love your support for HEIGHTS MOBIL for BEST AUTO REPAIR and BEST OIL CHANGE. They didn’t let us know when it started this year and it’s about to end so we’re a bit behind. 😬

Gene and I sent our guys fishing as a way to thank them for their hard work over the HOT summer. They had a great time and caught more fish than they could keep! Unfortunately, the seas were expected to be a bit rough so some of us had to sit this one out.

10/03/2022

Woohoo! THEY DID IT AGAIN!! Height’s Mobil Car Care customers have come through in a big way, the biggest yet! $637.69 to Rescued Pets Movement from our customers rounding up their purchases!

Since mid February we’ve forwarded almost $3500 in round up donations to various worthy causes on behalf of our customers! Big thanks to everyone!

09/08/2022

We are so excited about our customer’s response to our round up program, each featured charity is an area non profit and appreciates the support of our customers!

Heights Mobil - West 18/Ella Blvd has been hard at work raising funds for homeless pets! In August, they raised $548.50 for RPM 🤩 We are so grateful for Heights Mobil and their customers!

We hope animal lovers like you will choose Heights Mobil for all their car care needs. They are a full-service gas station, convenience store, and auto repair shop in the Heights located just south of RPM just six minutes away!

WOW! Heights Mobil Car Care customers have done it again! Our customers have been so receptive to the round up for charity program we started last February. Receptive and GENEROUS!

July’s round up check is in the mail !! $481.72 to Oak Forest Foster Closet benefiting foster children that leave without much and are in need of basic necessities.

August is Rescued Pets Movement Month! RPM saves hundreds of animals each week from area shelters, often from the euthanasia list and sends to other parts of the country where there is a demand for them.
With your help, RPM makes new beginnings possible for homeless pets throughout Houston and surrounding areas and has saved nearly 71,000 lives since their founding in 2013.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR GENEROSITY!!!

07/05/2022

Sorry for the late donation update! I was out of town for a bit so it threw everything off!

Customers have been VERY RECEPTIVE to the rounding up idea! We have awesome customers that donated a total of $500 for April and May to Friends For Life animal rescue. We got the SWEETEST thank you note from FFL that made us all happy to go the extra mile for them. It’s nothing compared to what their volunteers do every day.

June’s check is going out today for $330 to Oak Forest Foster Closet benefiting foster children that leave without much and are in need of basic necessities.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR GENEROSITY!!!

04/01/2022

IT’S TIME TO SEND OUR CUSTOMER’S DONATIONS FOR MARCH, $442.88!

We’re thrilled that our customers have been so receptive to this opportunity to help a neighborhood animal rescue, Animal Justice League. https://www.facebook.com/AnimalJusticeLeagueHouston/

We have been contacted by other neighborhood rescues wanting to be possible recipients and we’ve decided to do that. April is Friends For Life month at Heights Mobil!

Friends For Life is an area shelter who saves animals regardless of their breed, age or condition. Houston-grown, they’re here to help our neighbors care for the pets they love.

FFL RELIES HEAVILY ON FOSTERS, ADOPTERS, DONATIONS, AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT.

Please consider rounding up your purchase during your next visit. We are happy to pass on as little or as much as you can spare!

THANK YOU!

03/02/2022

I added the option on our register system for customers to round up/donate to Animal Justice League with the plan to pass along at the end of each month. We started the second week of February and the customers have been very receptive!

THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL! WHOOP! WHOOP!

02/08/2022

Hi neighbors! Heather here at Heights Mobil, West 18th and Ella. I wanted to let folks know that I’ve added a button to the register system to make it possible for customers to easily donate to Animal Justice League

Animal Justice League is a 501(c) rescue organization in our area doing the hard work of rescue and advocacy for stray and abandoned animals. They also lend a hand by holding free spay/neuter and microchip events in low income areas nearby.

If you’re so inclined, you can give as little (round up your sale) or as much (woohoo!) as you’d like. Once a month I will post on our page the total donated and write a check to AJL on behalf of our generous customers.

Oh and by the way, how cute is mine and Gene’s current foster Coco?! You can find her and many other available cats and dogs at www.animaljusticeleague.org

Someone asked me what we do at the shop to celebrate the holiday so here it is.
Every year, we get together for a good meal (the guys like to do it on the lift instead of a restaurant, after working all day) and an exchange of gifts. Before the celebration, Gene and I go and pick all the gifts and then the day of they all play a game to exchange the gifts. It’s lots of laughs, some conniving😂, and rolling of dice, but in the end everyone leaves knowing how much we appreciate them.
Today we were lucky enough to have a neighbor and customer, Phillip, agree to flex his culinary talents and prepare steaks (thanks Pete’s) and potatoes with all the fixin’s (including his crazy chimichurri sauce and béarnaise sauce). It was by far our most decadent shop meal and was HARD earned because, among other things...2020. We were missing three people, also a first, but we made the best of it.

These people right here...they’re solid folks.

COME ON 2021 !!!!!

12/18/2020

We are very proud of Michael for receiving this recognition! We think he’s the bees knees and we’re glad others have noticed too! Come by and give him a thumbs up and let him show you some of his genuine hospitality!

Thank you to Boyscout Troop 540 (St Ambrose) for this thoughtful gift of a wreath in memory of our sweet Lisa. We are feeling the love today!

10/14/2020

2ND UPDATE: Lisa’s service is Saturday morning with viewing at 10am and service at 11am. Heights Mobil will be completely closed (including fuel) from 10am-noon so that we can all attend the service. The repair shop will be closed for the day on Saturday.

UPDATE: We have a memory book at the shop for anyone that wants to jot down your comments again so Lisa’s father and sisters can see how much she was loved and appreciated. I think it’s a testament to who Lisa was that so many people have such kind things to say about her. Thank you.

It is with deep sadness that we share with our customers and neighbors that our long time employee Lisa has passed away unexpectedly after a medical emergency.

She has been with us for nine years and is the dearest of family. This is devastating to us all at Heights Mobil, and we know that she was also loved and appreciated by many of you.

Though we would normally deal with this loss privately, I don’t think I could repeat this multiple times a day.

Lisa was kind, tenacious, generous beyond measure, hard nosed when necessary and made sure this place ran like a well oiled machine. If you notice us stumbling, it’s because we will be lost without her, forgive us.

Please know she took great pleasure in getting to know all of you.

10/10/2020

Though we miss our sweet ol’ shop dog Bentley, we were lucky to be discovered by Grateful Gracie. She loves coming to work with me and getting treats from the guys(especially Ruben)! She showed up at the shop in January just skin and bones and is now fat and happy, living the good life!

09/29/2020

Thank you for voting us BEST AUTO REPAIR and BEST OIL CHANGE for 2020!

We appreciate your confidence in us and your support for this small family business!

What a sweet surprise! Thank you Mrs D, we’re so glad you’re feeling better!

Well that went by fast! Heights Mobil wants to give a shout out to Owen and say thanks for helping out! This week will be his last week pumping gas for everyone, back to school he goes! So starting next week, we’ll do our best to pump for those that still want it, we just ask that you pull up to one of the closer pumps and give us a honk to let us know.

Also, please note that Heights Mobil Car Care (repair shop) will be closed SATURDAY AND MONDAY (September 5th and 7th) to give the guys are hard earned break. I can tell you, it’s not easy working in this heat in masks and following all the guidelines we have in place, and these guys have gone above and beyond for our customers and each other! With Labor Day on Monday, closing Saturday is a great opportunity to give them an extra day to relax.

As always, we appreciate our customers and want to thank you for your business and your kindness, it does not go unnoticed!

Fuel and convenience will be open normal hours.

It’s this kind of feedback that reminds us our hard work really means a lot to our customers and is worth the effort day in and day out. And it definitely helps keep us motivated on more challenging days!

06/06/2020

Everyone, meet Austin! Austin joined us so we could continue to pump gas for our customers (Mon-Fri, 8-6). This is a free service that we started to help give our customers a little peace of mind when this crazy virus came to town!
So next time you need gas, come on by! You can stay in your car and let Austin do the work!

Friendly update from Heights Mobil Car Care at West 18th and Ella Blvd

We know most folks aren’t moving around but we’re considered an essential business so we are still open.

We are disinfecting the pumps every 30 minutes.

We are happy to pump fuel (no extra charge) for anyone that pulls up and honks btwn the hours of 8am and 6pm, no need to get out of your car.

Our service bays are still open. We are protecting ourselves and our customers by wearing new gloves in each car we service and wiping down surfaces (door handle, steering wheel etc) before and after.

Thank you all for your support.

Another beautiful day here at Heights Mobil Car Care.
