Auto Science

This place is legit. Best mechanic I have been to and I have family members in the business… They are honest, SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE, go the extra mile, and truly understand customer service.
Their prices are more than fair and while I’m sure you can find a cheaper alternative somewhere else you will end up paying more $$$ in the long run and not have the peace of mind that I do when I leave their shop. These guys won’t cut corners and will have your car in tip top mechanical shape. They are thorough, detail-​oriented, and obviously have a real passion for a job well done…
They are about an hour out of the way for me but they are totally worth it. Go here — you won’t regret it.

I brought my 2013 Subaru Legacy here for a scheduled maintenance service after the Subaru dealership quoted me almost double the cost of what Auto Science did. Auto Science was so helpful over the phone, explaining to me why the cost was lower, and all the things that were included in the maintenance service. I also asked them to check my oil as my car seems to consume more oil than it should between oil changes. They explained to me that Subaru just finished up a lawsuit on this very thing. They performed an oil consumption test and explained how they would call the dealership for me if I need to have that fixed. That is definitely going above and beyond for customer service! Ryan was so nice and took the time to explain his business model to me and what he looks for in employees. His business model is on-​point and it shows. He was professional yet approachable, and didn’t treat me like a ‘dumb woman’ as so many dealerships do. And the best part? The quote I received over the phone was exactly what I paid for my service. They didn’t try to up-​charge anything. I really appreciated the time they spent on my car. I would recommend these guys to anyone. They definitely got a lifetime customer in me!

Brought in a Nissan NV2500 HD Cargo van for a pre-​purchase inspection. Glad I did, they found about $ 2,200.00 bucks worth of repairs that need to be done. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about trucks but they found things I would never have thought to look at.
Working with the dealer to either get the items fixed of the price dropped. The $ 50 bucks I spent was well worth it!
I also want to give a shout out to the mechanics, nice guys, very thorough.

I didn’t get any work done here, but their customer service is on point!
I spoke to Ryan about an upcoming purchase, and wanted to get his opinion. I feel he went the extra mile by discussing the car further in detail with me and informing me on what to watch out for and what would be beneficial. Unfortunately im not in the area to get work done at this time, but if I were I would not hesitate for a second to bring my car here. Keep up the good work!

Another year later and this place is still going strong!

I brought my ol’ Forester in for a checkup before I go on a long trip. Ryan and his crew gave it a good looking over and fixed a couple things for me. What’s great is my stupid Forester’s steering wheel used to shake when I was stopped at a red light. No more! It’s smooth sailing now. Awesome! They also said everything else looks to be in excellent shape, which was good to hear.

I’m bringing it back in to have more work done on it. You know if video games you can like upgrade your car? Give it better gas mileage, more horsepower, etc? Well you can do that in real life, too! And this place will do it! I’m having the downpipe or downtube or whatever replaced. I’m also having it tuned up, which is a day-​long process. I’m told my car will be like a whole new animal, with increased horsepower and better gas mileage. It’s like a doctor’s office for Subarus!

They’ve maintained their waiting lobby — there are more video games there now. There’s a big one with an emulator inside — dozens of games there to play while you wait. The dog is gone — they keep her at home now. I love this place and I’m sad to be moving away because my baby is losing her mechanic!

I have been pretty lazy writing reviews online but I would like to single out Ryan @AutoScience because he saved me from buying a bad car that didn’t have any accident history on the Car Report. He is crazy knowledgeable… like insanely… my dad was a mechanic for 15 years and I am somewhat an enthusiast when it comes to cars and felt somewhat confident about being knowledgeable about cars but I wanted a second opinion before buying a car. (Which everyone should do when buying a used car because you will never know half the things wrong with a car unless a trained mechanic takes a look at it)…AutoScience does it for FREE (FTW)!!! But please whatever you do ask to take it to a certified mechanic before you buy (Preferably AutoScience) and if they try and give you a hard time about it be firm… cause you never know what lurks beneath the hood…
So I called into AutoScience and asked if they would do a pre-​sale inspection on a 2008 Lexus IS250 and Ryan said that it wouldn’t be a problem as long as you give them a heads up 30min-​1hr it should be cool. I have been searching for awhile for this car and thought I found one at a good price. I arrived with my sales guy and Ryan took about 15 minutes and came back to me with a very weary look and told me he found a «couple of things». First off the water pump needed replacing… common issue when it comes to is250’s, he said it would be around a $ 600 dollar job… ok I took that on the chin and felt like that wasn’t so bad. Than he tells me that the stock AMP is blown out and there is no bass coming out from the stock sub… another common problem with this model car… ok took another one to the chin but again it isn’t something too terrible that couldn’t be easily fixed. Than came the final blow… the uppercut to the face… he said the car had been in a pretty bad accident… both me and the sales guy (he came with me from the dealership and was super cool about the whole thing) looked pretty surprised… than he goes on to tell us that the car was hit in the back right fender… the back door was misaligned (wasn’t flush with the fender so it came out a bit but I couldn’t tell until I stared at it) the back fender, the back bumper and the back right door were all a different color. After staring at it I could tell that they were all a different shade… that particular color (Starfire Pearl) is almost next to impossible to match from what Ryan said so he noticed that right away… the inner wheel well had splashes of paint on it, indicating that the door/​fender had been repainted recently… ok but was there frame damage… how could you tell??(Asked the sales guy and me) Well he pointed to the subframe behind the back tire (which I could barely see) and said that it is definitely bent in about an ¹⁄₈ of an inch and it is not perfectly horizontal how it should be… I was floored… the sales guy couldn’t believe it… Nothing came up on the car history report so I didn’t think there would have been major stuff wrong with it but again… that’s why I got it checked out to be sure. A car is an investment of a lot of money and doing the due diligence is important because you can end up with a car that is unsafe to drive.
Ryan is very meticulous and showed his range of knowledge and experience within 30 minutes… I couldn’t thank him enough for saving me from buying an unsafe car. I will sing his praises to anyone who is willing to listen and even those who aren’t. He will be seeing me again… hopefully with a car worth buying
Oh yeah he has a couple of arcade machines, a pool table and TV in his waiting area inside his shop so yeah pretty sick

Autoscience is owned by a model honest mechanic who knows his cars and treats his customers fairly. I was glad I stumbled upon it when looking for places to have a prepurchase inspection done on a used Subaru.
He knew instantly on seeing under the hood that the car had been in a collision that hadn’t been in the Carfax report and what its actual worth was. Glad he helped me avoid that purchase mistake. Better yet, he did the prepurchase inspection for free! It’s always a good sign when a proprietor cares about customer loyalty.
They do mainly engine work, seem to keep pretty busy too, but I still got an appointment the same day and the owner gave me his full attention and honest opinion, as well as being upfront about the cost of parts.
I would definitely return and recommend them.

Wow! These guys are AWESOME!
I never thought I’d find a car repair shop that I would recommend to everyone! I am from Alaska and me and my 2002 Subaru Forester have gone almost 200,000 miles together. I’ve needed all sorts of small repairs and some large ones even. These guys not only have quality customer service, but they have quality repairs too! I have used them for the last two years to get my Alaskan car back up to my Dallas standards. I am so thankful to have found them and wish I could take them back to Alaska with me! As a flight attendant, I may just have to fly them up to visit Alaska and do a few repairs while they are there!
Thank you Ryan for a great shop, great repairs, and an overall great experience. I would recommend them to EVERYONE who drives a Subaru! (and Toyota and Lexus, as they work on those too)
Awesome guard dog too! He’s a sweetie, but serious about his job. :)

I drove from Houston to Dallas to look at a used lexus. When I got there the car looked good enough but felt weird when I drove it. The dealer assured me it was normal but I wanted a second opinion. I found autoscience and gave them a call and they told me to bring it in. They took if for a test drive and did a diagnostic exam. After about 45 minutes they informed me that the ABS and AC systems were faulty and that it would cost upwards of $ 4000 to repair. They then printed out their report so that I could get my deposit back. They then gave me some insight to the common issues surrounding that model and even some recommendations as to other, similar models with better records. And to top it off, it was free. Very honest, professional people. Would do business with again.

I had a pre owned lexus rx 350 taken to AutoScience for a pre purchase inspection and did it free of charge! They were able to point a few things out that I went back to the dealership asking them to fix it. If I lived in Carrollton I would definitely take my car there.

Most experienced about Lexus and most honest shop (private or dealer) I’ve found. Ryan is pleasant, knowledgeable and very straightforward about your options and have never had bad repair that needed return for service. Don’t own a Subaru but it seems like my experience would be the same. Highly recommend.

good guys, good price. if you love your Subaru and don’t want to pay high prices, this is the place to go! they helped me «save» my high mileage 1996 Legacy Wagon for under $ 500 when the dealership had given up on it! glad we found them.

Ryan knows his stuff
