Austin’s Automotive Specialists

My family and I have been coming here for a few years now, ever since we moved into the area and they have always been extremely fair in pricing and very informative. They always get us in and out rather quickly, quicker than any other place I’ve been to. I always recommend this specific location to anyone needing assistance. They also let me turn their waiting area into my personal office :)

Love the work they do, will return in the future. Great guys and a great shop. Always fixed my vehicles correctly and charged less than the competitors.

Great guys; fair price & never try to hike up the rates; I have recommended & will continue to recommend others here.

I took my wife’s Chevy Tahoe to be repaired at Austin’s Automotive Specialists in buda. Two weeks later same issue. Brought it back in and I was told that the mechanic had missed a worn part. This required an extensive tear down and previously replaced parts. I asked the manager to not charge me labor since his mechanic missed the problem. He obliged partly. So they fix it we drive off hearing a new sound from the rear. The sound increased in level so I called the manager and he said to bring it back. By this time we had lost confidence, four days and a pile of money. So we took the car to a second shop they told us sounded like Austin’s Automotive Specialists had botched the repair. Next we went to see the gmc dealer. The dealer also said that the rear end had possibly not been replaced correctly resulting in further damage. Finally we had the dealer do the repairs and have had no further issues. To add insult to injury I showed the gmc dealer Austin’s Automotive Specialists bill and the dealer said they were 30% higher! I would not recommend going to Austin’s Automotive Specialists in buda for anything more involved than a oil change.

If you want a quick service, this should be your destination. I used to take my car to kwik kar in buda but they had 2 hours wait time. I didn’t wanna wait that long and was coming back home when I saw this place. Just stopped to see how long would it take for state inspection and after 20 minutes, I was driving back my car with new inspection sticker. Customer service at its best!!!

It’s so very rare to actually find an automotive repair or service shop these days that doesn’t make you want to pull your hair out afterwards. I’ve used this place twice since moving back to Texas. I had my brakes changed out here and they quoted a fair price and that’s what I ended up paying. NO hidden costs.
The second, and most recent, time was after my wife’s car broke. I was fairly sure she had a blown turbo, but due to my disabilities I’m unable to work with my hands long enough to effect a repair this intense. I had called the dealership and got a run around quote that ended up being 30 plus percent more than I paid. They did an excellent job of keeping us informed during the job and actually ended up coming in $ 200 under the initial quote!
They also gave me a 10% military discount both times!

Got my front brakes replaced here this week and they did an excellent job! Everyone was really nice and the wait wasn’t bad at all. So happy with my experience here.

I had a great experience here, after being told I need at least 800 a in repairs from another shop nearby I took it to them for a second opinion. I’m glad I did turns out it was an easier fix than I had been previously lead to believe. they had me in and out in just over an hour and for almost half the price. I will be telling everyone I know! Thanks again.

Watch out and get a second opinion…

I brought my jeep wrangler in to get an alignment done. I was disappointed by the work. Not only did they not do the job well, my jeep pulled to the right worse than before. I had to take it back and it seemed they didn’t really do anything to fix it.
Plus my steering wheel was slanted looked like I was driving a clowns jeep.
I finally took the jeep to another shop that fixed me up right.
I would not wish this type of service on anyone.

Up until three years ago I was a regular customer with my Mercedes. I asked what it would cost for the 90k mile maintenance checkup on my Lady’s truck. I was quoted $ 100 less than the dealer wanted. Pleased, I let her know and she took it in. In seven hours (we were told eight) she drove off after paying $ 400 MORE than the dealer wanted. Because of my temper, she begged me not to do anything about it. I (we) haven’t been back. Ladies, be forewarned.
The app won’t let me go without giving a star rating.

Not impressed. Had my car since Monday, went to pick it up today (Saturday). As soon as I started it, I knew it wasn’t fixed — check engine light was still on and still idling high. Drove it one exit down the road, turned around and brought it back. They couldn’t tell what was wrong with it and said they needed a few hours. Six hours later and we haven’t heard anything. Had just gone in for a tune up and $ 2,000 and one week later, it’s not fixed. Ugh.

If it was an option I wouldn’t give them a star at all. I’m writing this due to their careless doings and attitudes. I went for a basic oil change. PRETTY EASY JOB, but wait to my surprise, an employee who break specialist labeled a mechanic, puts a quart of oil OVER the recommended level on the DIP STICK. The only reason I noticed is because my engine was smelling like it was burning up, and the smell came straight through the vents. Called to complain, the rep. Responded as if it happens every now and then. Stay away unless you want burnt piston rings.

Aaron has always hooked me up. Every time he quotes me a price, I have shopped it to find out if it’s legit. I really should stop doing that because I’m wasting my time. He’s always has the lowest price and I can trust their work so much that my entire family uses Brake Specialists Plus.

Great service, done fast ! Reasonable prices !

Great location (near Cabela’s), great communication (let me know how much repairs would be before they started work), great service (had the car ready on time). It is rare to leave an automotive repair place feeling like your were treated fairly. Break Specialist is one of those kind of places. Tell David I sent you.
