Tim was awesome, got my car back on the road after it had been sitting for a while and even helped me keep it within my budget. Will definitely use them in the future.
It’s a dream experience every time I have a repair for my vehicle. You get what you pay for: 1 You are greeted by the longtime 20+ yr experienced manger or his highly trained choice, and 2 they have a conversation with you about your needs previously expressed. 3 Then they confirm your information and you hand them…
One of the best shops in town in my opinion. Knowledgeable, Honest, quick and willing to go beyond to help you resolve issues. I recommend this place to all my friends
Very honest and professional. Clean facility. Will definitely go back when needed.
Andy and crew have kept my vehicle running for almost a decade now. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Update- I have brought my car to this location on 3 occassions. I moved here from IL 6/2019 & back home my family, full of mechanics, would service my car. I grew up around cars so while I'm pretty car savvy, you just don't know if someone will try to pull a fast one & charge you more. They are professional,…
Go here if you’re in South Austin! Amazing, helpful, friendly service those goes above and beyond. Thank you for your help!
My car would not start. I called and was able to take it in right away. It was fixed and returned to me the same day, with no extra services pushed on me. AAS is always professional, reliable and honest - I only take my car to them. Highly recommend!
After my car wouldn’t start, I took it in to AAS to ensure the alternator was working. They were super professional and gave me peace of mind. I would recommend!
Diligent, cost saving, Andy was kind and friendly
Austin Automotive is a true blessing! Always came for oil changes and had an easy and quick experience. My car randomly stopped and after sitting in the dodge dealership’s repair shop for months with no answers. I finally decided to have my car towed here. Once my Dodge Dart made it into Austin Automative hands from…
Highly recommend. They’re really the best. Each time I’ve gone to them, they’ve gone above and beyond to repair everything that needs repairing and ONLY what needs repairing. They’re very honest, work very hard, and their prices have been much less than previous experiences at other places. I’m so happy and relieved to have found a good, honest mechanic.
Finding a good mechanic is hard. For me, they have to be honest, fair and great at what they do. Well, I have found the perfect place to get my vehicles serviced because they meet all my criteria. This all started when I had to get the front and rear alignment on my 4WD 3/4 ton suburban because I got new tires.…
Andy and the team were beyond helpful when my dealership let me down. I would be completely out of luck without their help. They were empathetic, great communicators, attentive, and quick. Thank you team for a great experience! I will be back (but hopefully not too soon.)
I have a long-standing relationship ( over 2 decades) with Andy and this shop, and they have always performed very well. They have repaired and replaced parts on three cars - including the brakes and lifetime alignment back in the day.
They were very thorough in their assessment of the vehicle. They found a few other issues that we needed to be fixed and took care of them at a lower cost than I expected. I've taken multiple vehicles here and haven't had an issue with their service yet.
Loved this place. Very friendly and helpful.
Great experiences. Justin was a pleasure to work with.
