"Thanks"Thanks guys for helping me out with my car this week
"Meh... by John D. at InsiderPages "They play that part war with you. From my visit they were very helpful over the phone and in person. They even gave me a rental car while mine was in the shop. But then when it comes to the actual work they continuously charge you for parts that are irrelevant to the problem. I heard good things about the place but I was charged out the @$$ three times and the problem was never actually...

"blinker switch fixed"These guys fixed my blinker switch. They were fast, reasonably priced and were very friendly.
"under-qualified or lie?"I have to strongly disagree about Ben White Automotive. I have my car towed to the north location because my car had been parked in my garage for a while and recently didn't switch gear. They said my transmission has to be re-built/replace and the battery was dead. Since they can't do re-build, they told me they have to order it from some auto-recycler, and when they receive it, they will...

"Great Service"Recently moved to Austin from New York and needed to fix my A/C. They found that it was only a faulty plug and didn't lie or try repairing something that didn't need to be and then charge and arm and a leg. Very professional and credible, they fix the problem, they don't steal your money.
"Overpriced"I think they are way overpriced. They replaced a front door actuator in my CRV that I found to cost $60 online and charged me $170.

"ford excursion"I had been having problems with my 2000 Ford Excursion for more than a year. It was jerking when pressing on the gas. We had seen 3 mechanics and each said it was fuel injection. We tried cleaning the injectors, changing the fuel filters and a few other items all 3 times. It still wouldn't fix the problem. I was so frustrated! A friend recommended Lugnuts. I thought I'd try one more time...
"Disappointed"After reading all the wonderful reviews on citysearch, I was very excited to go to Lugnuts- even though it was a 15 minute drive. I called them, and they quoted me a reasonable price on car maintenence. Their phone automated message gave their hours on Saturday from 9 to 2. I showed up at 9:30 on Saturday morning to a closed shop. I was very disappointed that I had gone out of my way to visit...

"Sunday Afternoon 2/3/13"I priced tires at about 6 different stores and Firestone was the cheapest price I could find. And they were all the same brand. I went to the store and a Lady named Lori helped me. I told her the quote I'd worked up online, and hers was actually a couple of dollars cheaper.
They did exactly what she said they would in the time frame she told me, and the price was exactly as quoted....
"Avoid this place"This Firestone store failed in all accounts. First they couldnt give me a proper time estimate and once they did, it took them more than 1 hour past that to get my car back to me. Also, while working on my car, they broke my tires' hubcaps and the manager Ron Shaw insisted that they were "cheap" hub caps and only discounted $25 bucks off of the bill while it cost me $40. That was the last time...

"Nice and honest guys, great service."I've been going to this NTB for over a year now, and they've been consistently friendly and easy to deal with. They don't try to take advantage of me or sell me stuff I don't need. Like any car place, they'll give you all the options of stuff you need maintained, but they will break things down in terms of priority, and if it can wait, they'll tell you. I sincerely feel like they are in it...
"WATCH OUT"Be careful dealing with this place because they will tell you that unnecessary work needs to be done just so they can have a big ticket for their income. Needed a brake job - went elsewhere. NTB thought that I was born yesterday and didn't know anything about cars and brakes. I will not deal with them again at 5234 W. Highway 290 in Oak Hill area in Austin. Have purchased tires there...

"good place"They have a top of the line alinement machine and get this..... a guy knows how to use it, really, and not just by reading the text on the screen. They understand what they are doing and are willing to work off my specks - I have a mint, VW Syncro!!
"A lot has changed in a year"I used to like this place, but now I go in for one thing and they want me to fix a bunch of other stuff....not sure how much I trust them anymore

"I love Brake Specialists!"I went to another car place, got an estimate I thought was high, then went to Lamar Brake Specialist location.
They diagnosed same problem, but had a much less expensive solution! saved me a few hundred bucks. I have also had oil changes there, and they fixed a timing chain for me as well. I would recommend them to anyone! john finlay
"DONT' GO HERE IF YOU'RE FEMALE"I went in to get my state inspection done on my 2006 VW today, and after sitting in the waiting room forever (which is to be expected, just annoying) they call me up to the desk to tell me they can't pass my car b/c my wipers don't work. I ask them to please show me how they don't work b/c I had just used them last week. He told me the best thing to do would be to run an $85 diagnostic so...

"Excellent work - very honest"I had my car towed there when my brake lines went out. I explained to them that it was an older car and I really wanted to keep it on the road for as cheap as possible. They totally honored this constraint and fixed just the problem I mentioned to them for an incredibly reasobable rate.
This is the place to go in North Austin if you are looking for an honest mechanic who is not going to try...

"Great Job! Thanks!"Great Hills Automotive did a great job on my wife's car. We stopped by in the morning without an appointment - the rear brakes had gone out the night before. They also found and fixed exhaust leak a mechanic friend had been warning us about for a while. They quoted a price up front, and the final bill matched the quote exactly. The shop was immaculate. We were treated great and got great...
"Pretty pricey!"My Honda Accord's "check engine" light came on and wanted to get it checked out to make sure it wasn't something serious. I called and talked to them and they said it would be $120 just to check it out. Are you kiddin me? I called two other places and they only charge $85 to hook it up to the computer. I think I'll save my money and go with someone besides Great Hills Automotive. Now I...

"Easter Thank You!!!!"Had a flat tire. They took it off my car and fixed in. My husband went to pay and they stated there was no charge. All this on a holiday. Thank you so much for saving the day!
"Never again"I took my car in last October to have my front and back brakes replaced, as well as new drivebelts put in. I picked the car up and immediately noticed something being wrong - my brakes were very hard, and my car had started shaking hard at highway speeds. I couldn't take it back in until the following evening, so I drove it the 40 miles roundtrip to and from the office that next day, and...

"You Can't Go Wrong Here"Twice now I have brought my car in to C Van R and presented them with a perfect opportunity to take advantage of me. And twice now, they have done the RIGHT THING.
The first involved what I thought was a bad alternator: They could have replaced it and charged me an exorbitant amount. How would I have known?
But instead they told me that the belt had just slipped, and that they had fixed it...

"Great Service!"We have been taking both of our vehicles to Southwest Automotive now for over 2 years and every time we go, we find they fix the problem and are very honest. They have a GREAT online tracking system for their customers to look into records and see what was fixed, when, costs, etc. and we have seen the things done over 2 years to 'align' with the car's needs/timeline, etc. Prices are...
"Although they are professional, the first guy I talked to was"Although they are professional, the first guy I talked to was not. He said there were alot of cars and wouldn't tell me how many. Just expect to leave your vehicle overnight if you take it there. It is not that cheap either. I found other places that were cheaper. I will see how good the quality of the work is once I get my car home. I will most probably not use them again because of the...
