This is been one of the most pleasant experiences I've had dealing with a car repair shop. They are professional and really fast. There was only a 2-day turnaround and that was only because the part I need it for my vehicle had to be specially ordered. Josh was my service rep and he was outstanding! Kept me very…
Great communication, completed on time with no issues. Bismark was great. Now my go to repair shop for my Toyota.
Bismark and the whole team were great! They provided me with a loaner and did everything they could to ensure I was taken care of. 5 stars, will return.
Clean, detailed, friendly, communicative and efficient. Not much more you can ask for in an auto care specialist. BIsmark, was great!
Had a check engine light that turned out to be a bad thermostat. Made an appointment, got a call as soon as the part came in, scheduled an appointment for 3 days later and got the replacement done on the same day I brought my Jeep in. Great experience all around. Caleb was super helpful throughout.
Absolutely amazing service from Caleb and the rest of the team! Worked with me every step of the way on my repairs, worked around my work schedule, and made sure I was aware of any additional issues the vehicle may have. I went in for AC repair work and my AC has NEVER been as fast and cold as it is now! I was so…
It took a little longer than we all anticipated, but in the end the quality of the work and customer service are top notch!
I started out with these guys by having them inspect a used car i planned on buying. They did a GREAT job-dealt directly with Carvana's warranty dept and took care of the $7k in repairs on a timely basis. I subsequently had them handle maintenance and repairs on my two other car. Great guys, easy to deal with,…
Kristian was super easy to talk to and very informative of all my options without being pushy! After calling around other shops I ended up having Premier1 service for a used engine swap.
Exceptional service from Premier 1 Auto Care. The online scheduling process was so simple .At my appt Bizmark was professional, courteous and knowledgeable! I was updated throughout the entire process. They diagnosed the issue and repaired in a timely manner. Definitely highly recommended!
I have been to Premier1 Auto Care a few times now, and I have always been happy with their service. Online scheduling is easy, drop-off is quick, and I really like how they send a clear list of recommended items so you can choose what you want done. The final price matched expectations, the car was ready sooner than…
Customer service specialists were very helpful and knowledgeable. Turn around time on repair was quick, price was reasonable.
Excellent service and team at Premier1. I went to these guys for a PPI and they were able to quickly identify several concerns on a vehicle before I purchase which allowed me to make the right decision. Thank you guys again!
I took my car to Premier 1 as AAA had recommended them. I was so impressed at the service and care I got from them. They fixed what was wrong and were so professional about it. I highly recommend these guys they are amazing!
Caleb is an excellent representative for Premier1 Auto. The staff there are courteous, professional, and keep you abreast of your vehicle repairs. They do great work each time I take my Maserati in for service. It alleviates me having to drive all the way to Austin as I trust the quality of their services at Premier1 Auto.
Premier1 is the ONLY place in San Antonio that we trust. Thorough and HONEST service. They take great pride in their work and we've never had an issue with their integrity. So happy to recommend them. Updating this on 5/15/2026. We moved across town a couple years ago; which made it too difficult to get our repairs…
Great hospitality provided by all folks. Brought my car in with a randomly occurring mystery noise. Diagnosed and repaired quickly.
Always great service. The advisors are personable and helpful, explain the work you need thoroughly.
I have been with Premier 1 a little over a year. Very intelligent front of the house Mgrs. They connect with everyone in a rare caring way. I have an older 2015 Lexus and Lexus kept going higher in repairs and regular maintenance sadly in the extreme😢..Mercy..It’s almost too expensive to own a car at all in these…
Caleb was excellent in communication and does exactly what he says—for timeliness and more. From the very first call, he was clear, professional, and honest about what needed to be done and when it would be completed. He kept me updated throughout the process and delivered the car exactly on time, with everything…
Brought my vehicle in to repair a faulty fuel pressure sensor. The dealer wanted to keep the vehicle for 3-4 days and charge $225 to diagnose plus the cost to repair. I used Premier1 for a repair on my other vehicle so I decided to check with them. Not only were they able to do the repair in a few hours, but at…
The crew at Premier1 is great. They keep me on the road. There are moments that arise that could sour the experience, but the crew truly and sincerely give it there all
Knowledgeable and efficient. Our 11 year old MB diesel has been in their care for the last 3 years and it is in great shape. Super at communicating and efficient turn around times. Thanks. Caleb!
I was nervous about leaving the dealership service dept but Premier 1 changed so that. They are professional, competent, and always give an estimate before doing work. I feel like I’m in great hands!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Ricky Barrow took exceptional care of my BMW from start to finish. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to making sure my vehicle was serviced perfectly truly stood out. He went above and beyond to keep me informed,…
Technicians, not Mechanics. Premier1 was unable to diagnose a simple issue with my vehicle because the scanner did not provide them a code. A simple test drive would have demonstrated the issue. Their repair fixed nothing and I had to perform the repairs myself after I left.
Been there twice for 2 different vehicles. Both times great service and knowledgeable people.
Love this place. Everyone is always friendly. Service is quick. Very professional. They never try to sell me anything I don’t need. Been going here for over a year now and have never had an issue. I drive a lot and require regular maintenance on my vehicle. They do good clean work. Plus they will provide you with a…
Everyone at Premier 1 was friendly & professional and explained the process including time estimates up front without any pressure. Once my vehicle was diagnosed and I approved the work they were expeditious in completing the job and finished 1/2 a day earlier than quoted. Also they provided an Uber for my trip home…
Caleb and his team are the Best! My husband and I won't take our luxury cars anywhere else. There prices for Maserati parts and labor can't be beat anywhere!! He's always provided excellent customer service and will definitely go out his way to make ensure all our service needs were met. Even though my husband…
Staff is always very helpful, friendly and courteous. Highly recommend.
The employees were very professional. They got me in quick, did the work very fast and I would definitely recommend going here for any auto troubles
This is the fourt time I have taken my 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia to Premier1 since no Alfa dealer near me. This was for my 30k service and again had a great experience. Scheduling was a breeze dropped off day before due to my schedule. Spoke and dealt with Caleb and Adam. Both were great to work with and very…
Great service and fast turnaround time!
Best around for getting car service done. I used to go to the Chevy dealer but too many loooong waits for an oil change and surprise “oh while your here, (fill in the blank) needs to get done.” No thanks ! The service here is always done on time, and any suggested work is outlined and reviewed in a non-pressure…
My e55 had an issue that needed diagnosing and repairing. Adam looked after me and the mechanics did a thorough inspection over the vehicle and recommended maintenance items with clear pictures/videos and explanations. Original issue was addressed as well as suggested maintenance items from flush out and replacing…
The techs are very knowledgeable and professional. Outstanding service!
Prompt service and much more affordable than what Mercedes wanted
Excellent service, courteous, respectful and priced fairly. They are "GO TO" auto service providers.
I have always had complete satisfaction every single time my vehicle gets service here at Premier Auto 1. I will never trust my vehicle anywhere else.
This Shop Has Great Customer Service, Pricing, Employees & Communication. I Highly Recommend Them. And Have Already Recommended Them To My Friends And Family. Bringing Both Of My Cars Back For Sure.
What a wonderful experience at Premier1 Auto Care. My Lexus rides so smooth with my new tires and Yesi and David were incredible people to work with. Kudos and keep up the excellent work. I’ll be back!!
As usual, Premier 1 has done a great job. Highly recommended.
Great experience. They performed a multipoint inspection and advised which items were critical to repair and which could wait. Photographs were provided for the clients evaluation. No pressure whatsoever to decide. Great technicians.
Once again, Premier One came through. The communication and service was excellent. Thank you for flexibility!
Adam Bennett with Premier1 Auto Care did an amazing job for my Mercedes and my wife's Maserati. not only did they do a great job, but I paid a third of what I would have paid at Mercedes and Maserati. Adam was always super responsive and on top of everything. I had just had my car serviced at Mercedes of San…
Always a pleasure to do business with Permier1 since I’ve found them about 2.5 years ago I’ve not gone to anyone else’s since ! It’s an absolute Best feeling to know the job will be done right the first time with honest people. There’s so much I can say😅 almost write a book on how great Pemier1 is! My last…
update for 3/31/2023 My engine light came on and they repaired as I was driving home with the vehicle it came back on. I called the company and they came to my home and picked up the car. Left a loaner for me to drive. They found another sensor out and replaced it without charging me. I then drove to Arlington and…
I researched, USAA has referred Premier1 Auto Care among others through there website. I sent an appointment request late night Sunday. It was the busy holidays. Tuesday Morning December 27,2022 Adam calls and tells me I can get a diagnostic after 1:00pm. This was great because I had shoddy or work done to replace…
Diagnostic confirmed what I already knew was wrong with my CCC.but the cost of options to fix issue were over the top expensive. The second option to repair my CCC was significantly lower but still double the cost if we went through Premier 1. Understand it’s a business but to try to profit and charge double the…
They told me that it wasn't a loud enough noise to worry about so instead of running a full diagnostic they did one based off of what I felt it could be however that is careless of them because I'm not a mechanic but yes I know my car. Not to mention they were wrong and maybe if they had taken time to properly…
They treat my Alpha Romeo so well! Trustworthy with great communication!
Good service
I couldn't be more pleased with the crew at Premier1. They are thorough, courteous and value minded. My Toyota Highlander had an issue with the anti lock brake system and the tires. They had it cleared up in 2 days.
tech did a great job identifying issue with the vibrations - turned it needed was transmission fluid being and replacement of engine mounts - great job and improvements were noticeable
Joey from Premier 1 really took care of me and was very thorough and keeping me informed on the work that needed to be done. Got the job done quick and put me back on the road. Thank you Premier 1.
Top professional care! Would never take our autos anywhere else!
Outstanding customer service and care. Always great service from the fine folks at Premier 1. They service both of my Toyotas. Wouldn’t take them anywhere else.
Premier1 did a great job taking care of our vehicle. They performed thorough diagnostics and identified the exact problems and were able to address them without trial and error. We would highly recommend them.
Joey was great! Worked with me to find a solution and delivered 100%. No feeling of up selling, great personality definitely a good place to trust if you need work done on your vehicle.
I've taken my care there 2 times and I'm still having problems with my car
Very professional service.
We have taken all 3 of our vehicles to Premier1 for various things and have been impressed every time. The service staff is friendly, they have excellent communication and give updates regularly, their pricing is very competitive and their work is impeccable. Premier1 is the best, hands down.
Wayne was so much help keeping me updated thru out the day and even helping me out before opening hours !
Excellent. Professional all the way. Will explains everything in great detail Best Service Consultant EVER.
This was my first visit to Prremier. Sam was great! Professional, personable and knowledgeable. He kept me informed throughout the entire process. He answered all of my questions in a timely and professional manner. He also provided me with detailed photographs of the problem issues with my Jaguar. I could not be…
All I know is they did a damn excellent job at getting my truck back in excellent working order. Wayne, my service advisor, was great with keeping me in the loop as to what was going on with my truck, what was needed, what wasn't needed. I didn't have to call for a status. I thank Wayne for his awesome work and…
One of the most professional and trustworthy mechanic shops I have ever been to. They called me daily to give me an update on my vehicle. On top of that, the level of customer service provided was astounding, Wayne specifically for me. All the issues were described in a way anyone could understand and they were…
I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team at Premier1. My experience from start (unexpectedly needing to have my truck towed to them because of engine trouble) to finish (an entirely new engine installed) was the greatest customer service I have ever encountered in dealing with any auto repair shop I have used…
Will was an excellent customer service provider and explained everything to us in plain English. We felt comfortable that they only did the necessary repairs to my car and were thorough in figuring out what the issues were. Would definitely use them again.
The service provided by Premier1 was wonderful. The Client Experience Manager, Will Bryant, was very professional, polite, and he provided excellent updates on my vehicle. They provided a vehicle for me to drive while my car was being serviced, which was very much appreciated! I was provided a detailed report of…
Brought my Maserati Ghibli to them for a irregular performance issues. The staff and the service rep Keshawn went above and beyond to get my car back running in tip top shape. They remained in continued communication with me to include on the weekend. Even with having to travel out of town they were very…
Premier1 provided a fast and efficient check on a used vehicle I purchased. They confirmed the engine was sound and prioritized services and maintenance this 16 old car may require. Service completed on time for a fair price.
Very professional and kept informed on the status of the repairs
Outstanding Customer Service as always. The staff and owners are always very transparent and straightforward with you. Best part is they offer dealer OEM quality workmanship with the hospitality of a neighborhood shop. I take both my Toyota’s since they have Toyota/Lexus certified technicians on staff. Won’t trust anyone else with my baby (my Tundra).
Their customer service was superb, and they provided excellent quality. They took the time to educate and explain with the photos and video taken of my vehicle. As a visual person, I really appreciated this!
Professional service & atmosphere, love the detailed diagnostic. I was referred to them by family and would also recommend them too.
Great service. Made sure I had all the information I needed with repairs with pictures and video by text and was able to select which service I approved of online. Now I have that information for future reference.
Have been taking our car there for past two years. Very informative and responsive. I also really appreciate that they can send full detail report for me to review. Great customer service!
While traveling, our check engine light came on... no bueno... but this shop handled things so amazingly that I’d recommend them to everyone
