Deluxe Auto Service

I went to the Honda dealership for a (free) safety recall repair, which also included a free inspection. They tried to sell me on $ 1500 of work, which you expect in these circumstances, all of which was extremely overpriced and about ¹⁄₃ of which later turned out to be unnecessary. I was also not satisfied with the estimate I received from Kwik Kar, as I felt they were trying to squeeze in as many labor hours as possible, and at a high hourly rate (25% higher than Deluxe).
Well, I had none of these problems at Deluxe Auto Service! The owner and employees were friendly and helpful in explaining anything I didn’t understand. They found cheaper ways to take care of my old car (example: rotors only needed to be resurfaced, not replaced) and pointed out the unnecessary upcharges on my other quotes. They let me bring in a couple of parts that I bought online to save a little bit of money (and use the cabin air filter of my choice), which I appreciated. The charges for other parts needed were far less than expected (a «timing belt kit» that was $ 190 at Kwik Kar was now $ 60 in essential parts). They even went the extra mile and cleaned the fogged-​up inside of my headlights at no charge. I was impressed with their ability to constantly keep me updated on the status of my car, as so many places are too busy/don’t care and never call you to tell you your car is ready. I’m SO pleased. It also doesn’t hurt that I can walk home from here.
A+++++!
P. S. They don’t take AmEx.

Really fast oil change and Ed is super friendly! I’ll definitely go back!

Stay away from this place. I took my vehicle in because my air conditioner wasn’t blowing very cold air but it was tolerable. We are taking a trip next weekend and figured the temp it was blowing was not up to par with so many people in the car at 100 degrees outside. Then, $ 130 later it only blows hot air. It’s miserable. This was the mechanics attempt at convincing me to spend $ 600 on replacing my hose. $ 600 this gringo don’t have. And if I did he would not get my business. Now I’m $ 130 poorer and have no air conditioning what-​so-​ever.

I’ve had multiple services done here from simple oil changes, tire repairs, and electrical work, as well as complete brake replacement and entire Ac replacement. Ed the owner is always friendly, fair priced and honest. He will always show you the problem in the car and explain the issue to you so you know hee isn’t trying to pull the wool over your eyes like so many other places do. I fully recommend Deluxe Auto and have referred many of my friend to him.

Ed and Eddy Jr. are my GUYS. They’re quick, knowledgeable, affordable and work as hard as anyone I know. Time after time I’ve turned to them, for my maintenance/​repairs on my personal vehicle as well as my commercial bus, and they just make any problems I have go away. That’s what I need and that’s the service they provide, go with them 10 times out of 10.

I have never EVER had such GREAT service with an auto service place. I was in desperate need of an oil change, and usually I stop off at the nearest chain. I always walk out feeling like I’ve been ripped off, so I tend to dread these experiences. But as soon as I walked into Deluxe, I was greeted with friendly service, speedy car care, and a fair price. More so the owner is willing to work with any budget you may have, even payments if you need. He was a lovely person, and has won my business for as long as I live in Austin

I recommend this shop with love in my heart! My roommate and I have both been taking our vehicles here for 2 years for oil changes and repairs. Today, my battery died completely. I could not get it to the shop without towing it, so they came to me. I happen to live about 500 yards away, but this is the kind of service you can’t get anymore. I trust everything that Ed, the owner, tells me, and he has never overcharged me. I’d drive from far away to use these guys, but luckily I don’t have to.

these guys are awesome!!! they took the time to figure out what the horrible noise was coming from my front end, at 6:00pm. the fixed it the following day for a great price. they are a new business and are willing to put forth the extra effort to make a good name for themselves. i highly recomend them.
