My daughter is a UTSA student living away from home. She calls me and says her 2018 Hyundai Elantra…read morewon't start but she knows of a mechanic close to her apartment. She has her car towed to Chad Miller Auto Care and calls me to say she needs a new battery and is being quoted $645. I ask her to hand her phone to an employee, and when I asked why this is so expensive the employee raised their voice at me. I asked for a manager and was informed it was Chad himself I was talking to. I would NOT suggest this mechanic. He is unprofessional and perpetuates the negative stereotype of crooked mechanics preying on young women.

So I read good things about this place. From what I read, they seemed like they knew what they were…read moredoing and maybe they do, but of the two vehicles I took there, both over 10 years old and with a variety of problems, they were able to fix some things,but not all. Mine has an oil leak at least 4 different places haven't been able to figure out. Chad's garage gave me some hope, but they were never able to fix it. I take pretty much all "guarantees" with a grain of salt. "Bring it back"...pffft why would I? You couldn't fix it the First time? More likely, I'll just be dumping more money in sonl you can "half fix it" a 2nd time. One mechanic even told my wife to "hit the dash when her A/C wasn't kicking on...AFTER they fixed it. GTFO... Really!? Cost wasn't exactly on the cheap side...maybe fair, but ONLY if they fix the problem. My impression is they had way more cars than they could handle and were trying to rush them outa there. Fair enough, but I will not be taking either of ours back. Fair warning to those that do.

These guys are the best! My wife and I have brought our cars to them many times for oil changes,…read moresmall repairs, and a really big timing chain job that needed to be urgently fixed. They are AMAZING at communicating what is going on, and are on the ball to call you back or call you with status updates. I was quoted for the timing chain job and then they were able to find different parts to knock off an additional $200. Really great, honest, and fast work that is really refreshing to see in this day and age! Also, today my car broke down and I called them in the morning to see if they could see it on an emergency basis. I had it towed to them by 11:00am and by 3:00 they had diagnosed the problem, communicated the problem to me, and had the car back to me by 4:30pm. They've got my business for life...they really provide the best service in town!!

Avoid M-Technik: Dishonest Business, Zero Proof, & Damaged/Missing Parts…read moreRating: 1/5 I brought my BMW to M-Technik on Monday, May 25, 2026, with a clear $200 diagnostic agreement. What followed was a complete scam involving fabricated labor hours, defensive management, and actual negligence to my vehicle. The "Diagnosis" Scam The Lie: On Tuesday, they claimed they spent an hour diagnosing the car and requested 3 more hours ($200/hr) to continue. I approved it. The Reality: On Wednesday afternoon, I called for an update and was told, "We haven't touched your car yet." The Confrontation: I showed up at 16:00 on Wednesday. My car was untouched. The heavy-set shop manager (not Chris, who was actually helpful) lied and said they were waiting on my approval. When I demanded to know what they did in the first hour I was being billed for, the mechanic couldn't answer. He eventually guessed a code: "Low fuel pressure before the high-pressure fuel pump." The Fact Check: I troubleshot with BMW ISTA+. I told them on Monday the car had a low RAIL pressure code. The low-pressure pump was brand new and tested perfectly at 4.5 bar. There is was no code for "low fuel pressure before the HPFP." The tech completely made it up. We checked my service ticket in the office. There was absolutely zero documentation written on it. I declined the extra hours that night. The next morning, they sent an unprofessional, all-caps text telling me to get a tow truck. Hostage Tactics & Blatant Negligence When picking up the car, I offered to pay the $200 if they could show me just 30 minutes of security camera footage proving they touched my car. The manager refused, using a "trust me bro" excuse that he wasn't going to hook up a computer to the cameras. He held my car hostage until I paid. To make matters worse, they allowed my car to be towed away with the ignition completely turned ON. This threw a massive slew of fault codes across multiple modules. More importantly, leaving the ignition on with the front wheels on the ground can ruin the electric power steering (EPS) system and steering rack as the wheels are forced to turn while active. The Final Straw: Missing Hardware They didn't even know how to properly put my BMW into neutral. I explicitly told them not to pull the mechanical neutral release bolt on the transmission. They ignored me, yanked it anyway, and failed to replace it. I left the shop with missing hardware and had to buy a new transmission bolt out of pocket. (See attached photos on my google review from the next shop). Summary: If you don't know cars, M-Technik will fake diagnostic time and bill you for it. If you do know cars, they will get defensive, hold your car hostage, risk your steering rack, and return it to you with missing hardware. Avoid this shop.
