Adjusting my five star review from four years ago to account for the Greatwater 360 takeover of this business. Over the last 12 months cost has gone through the roof and value has plummeted. Service is still about the same, which I'm grateful for. One upside of the takeover is better technology for booking services.…
Techs were helpful and courteous- will return again.
One of the few actual honest group of mechanics I've ever met. They take amazing care of my Jeep Wrangler
i have had 3 vehicles over the years serviced by them and have never had any regrets
Great customer service. Very professional.
They were very flexible with my schedule and the car drove significantly better after the alignment. No pushing for other repairs needed. The car was finished before the estimated time. A great experience!
Nice people. Had an alignment done here and it was priced reasonably. They include a 6 month warranty which is nice. 4 stars out of 5 because a synthetic oil change was almost $130. I’ve gotten several synthetic oil changes from reputable shops for less than $100 so I’ll be getting oil changes elsewhere but for…
Great place to visit and very friendly and helpful staff!
I like the fact you can make an appointment with this company and know they will not overbook people for the same time. The service was performed quickly and my vehicle is driving and handling better now. Thanks for the great job! I have used this shop before and will be back with any needs in the future. They are a reliable and trustworthy business.
Great experience here. I use them for all my auto maintenance and find them to be honest and the prices to be fair.
Great service. Quick turnaround. They did a few extra minor repairs (fuses and a replaced bulb) and didn't charge me. I'll use them again for sure.
I came here after trying to go to the dealership first and having a bad experience. My friend recommended this place- I walked in and they looked at my car same day- it was making awful clunking sounds. They gave me a reasonable and detailed quote and completed the work in a reasonable time. Overall, I was very…
Austin Automotive Specialist on the southend is where it's at! I felt good making my appointment with this crew when I saw how far backed they were booked, and as a hair stylist and young entrepreneur, I know what that means! I dropped my car off at my scheduled appointment time, and the turnaround for the…
Been my go-to shop for brakes for as long as they have been there. Maybe 20 years or more. Always get great service, friendly staff. Would give more stars if I could.
I Completely Trust the team at Austin Automotive Specialists to repair and service my vehicle. I am the proud owner of a 09 Honda Civic with 330k+ miles that I use for my business. I have to Thank Andy and his crew for keeping my baby going! They are amazing! Excellent Service!!! I Highly recommend Austin Automotive…
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.…
Justin was great getting me checked in. He was very professional and explained everything clearly. The alignment was done in less time than was quoted so that was a pleasant surprise. Overall a good experience.
Friendly Staff and Efficient service made my experience very satisfied. I will recommend them to my family and friends.
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 did a great job on my wheel alignment.
