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…

My best experience I’ve had with a repair shop, I’ve been to a few in SA for various things on my vehicle before from brakes to headlights and sensors. But usually I had to be able to figure out when the advisor or mechanic was trying to trick me into extra unnecessary repairs. At premier one it didn’t feel like…

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.

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.

My first impression of Premier Auto Care was on point; they are a professional repair shop. I did have an incident that turned into an inconvenience for me, but they resolved the issue and went over and above. I will keep bringing my cars there and recommend anyone to do so.

Facility was spotless and the staff is very friendly. My repair was completed earlier than expected. I will be taking my wife's car this week for a repair since I was highly satisfied with their service.
