These guys are so polite, so organized, and SO HONEST it's hard to believe. They took me through everything they found on my Mazda 5 and told me what needed to be done, what I could safely wait on without damaging the vehicle or risking drivability, and even dropped me off at my house and picked me back up so I didn't have to wait. I hardly ever give positive reviews. But these folks are truly Texan. I wouldn't go anywhere else because I know I get the truth down to the smallest detail. They respect my money. read more

I definitely recommend Auto Tek for their friendly customer service, reasonable prices, quick turnaround, and honest work. My most recent trip to Auto Tek was truly a pleasure (I know, getting my car worked on isn't something I enjoy normally). I dropped my car off the night before, knowing it would be safe, for a simple oil change. Andreah called me the next morning to say that the oil change was complete, but they noticed a screw in one of my tires and a belt that would soon need replacement. She gave me a very reasonable estimate on the belt and asked if it would be okay if she took my car across the street to Discount Tire so the tire could be repaired free of charge (I purchased the tires at Discount). By the middle of the day the oil was changed, the belt was replaced, and the tire had been repaired by the place across the street - all without me having to do a thing! read more

Hands down Auto Tek is the best auto shop in town. The staff is courteous, the mechanics are honest and the shop is always kept clean. If you ever need work done to your car, look no further than Auto Tek in South Austin. read more

I took my vehicle here to get my alignment fixed. Upon walking in the door, the staff was extremely friendly. The waiting room was very nice, and they had me in and out. The price was extremely affordable, and they even called to check up on things a week after. Great service, I totally recommend this place. read more

Auto Tek is the BEST. Aaron was so helpful and professional the several times I called. They took my car earlier than scheduled and kept me informed the entire time I waited. A warning light had come on in my Prius, and after a Google search, I was fully prepared to spend a LOT of money. It turned out that I was just low on oil. I can't believe that other places would have been that honest without charging me for other unnecessary "fixes." Everyone there is professional, knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend them. read more

I am so pleased to be able to review Auto Tek this morning after my older model Honda completely overheated and started smelling like maple syrup. Yep, that smell. French toast-- great for breakfast, not for your car. Auto Tek came recommended to me by a few office colleagues, and I can see why. From the first call, they were polite, warm, friendly, and (most importantly) reassuring. They helped me coordinate a tow to the shop, called me by the end of the day to let me know what was wrong, explained the problems in just the right amount of detail, and answered all sorts of questions when I called them back three times the next morning. Ultimately, I decided that I am going to make repairs myself, but their pricing was fair and they will absolutely be called upon again should I need them for any car issues in the future. Highly recommended for their great customer service, smooth process, clear communication, and patience. read more

I took my 2005 F-150 to Auto Tek for some brake work. I had a couple of quotes from other shops around town ranging from $400-$500 for brakes and rotors. Auto Tek checked everything out and said that I had a few more years left on the pads. The front rotors were warped but that if I could live with the vibration there was no real reason to get them replaced. They didn't charge me a dime. They get all my future business. read more

Amazing customer service and goes the extra mile to let you know issues and prepare for what is next! Thanks guys and will be back.

I have been having trouble with my car for over six months ... Took it in to these guys and problems fixed within a couple of days ! I felt they were always honest with me and did a great job read more

I cannot say enough about Auto Tek. They are truly amazing! Aaron assisted us this time around but I've worked with the others as well--everyone is so friendly, helpful & warm. Anytime I've had work done, they have explained in full detail what they did & have tried to do what they can to save $$. They are SO quick, my car has always been done within 2 days or so. They also kept me updated throughout the day which was so nice :) I Love Auto Tek & will never go anywhere else for auto work. Highly recommend! read more

I've had my share of experiences with Mechanic Shops and AutoTek BY FAR were the most pleasant to work with. Aaron is primarily the guy who helped me and was knowledgeable, courteous, prompt, fair, and undeceiving. Many mechanics I've worked with refused to take the time to try and explain to me what EXACTLY the issues were...they used vague terms and were rude. Auto Tek did exactly the opposite. Everyone has experienced that gut feeling when you just don't feel like you're being treated genuinely and might be being taken advantage of....well I didn't have that at any moment with these guys! I came to them with a suspected issue of my engine (cracked head gasket) and after confirming it , they gave me an offer. I checked with about 8 other local shops in ATX and no one else even came close to their quote or presentation. Matter of fact, some that I called just based on the conversation I had deterred me from even considering them; With me, it's all about customer service baby...making me feel comfortable! Unfortunately , some business owners have no damn idea what that means. Anyhoo, it took em about a week (which is exactly how long they said it would) and since the repair my trucks been running like a champ. I received a follow up call from the shop letting me know that if I had any concerns to give them a buzz. It's a good feeling to know I've found a mechanic I can trust. See you guys soon for any future work I need done. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about Auto Tek. To begin with, every time I call, there is always someone friendly answering the phone and providing me with quick scheduling services or answering other questions I may have. They are prompt and always willing to work out details with me. But most importantly, I feel I can trust Auto Tek because, more than once, the person explaining what my truck needs has been honest with me at their expense. For example, I was under the impression I had to change my oil every 3,000 miles as many other mechanics had informed me to do. It was Aaron over at Auto Tek that explained to me my truck actually only needs to have the oil changed every 5-6,000 miles or so. This is only one example, and I assure you there have been others, when they forewent profit to provide me with knowledge, trust, and impeccable service. It is hard to find good service providers (ie. mechanics, plumbers, electricians, etc.) because we have so few encounters with them and never really know if they are being honest with you. I am so grateful and pleased that I know I have a good team of mechanics on my side and have for years. I was finally motivated to leave a review after, once again, Aaron was honest in explaining an issue with my truck but admitted I didn't really have to commit to an expensive repair right now because the issue isn't pressing. These are good, good people. I can't believe I actually enjoy my vehicle maintenance experiences because it means I get to see these lovely folks. Highly, highly recommend. Thanks, guys! read more

I went to Auto Tek because I got a free oil change through their Belly customer loyalty program. I'd never been there before, and was pleasantly surprised by how clean and nicely decorated their waiting room and reception area are. More like a doctor's office than any mechanic shop I've ever been in. My oil change took about 30 minutes, I think, and the guy at the front desk was quite pleasant. Despite giving away an oil change, they didn't try to upsell me to any of their services (unlike other places--Jiffy Lube always finds something they want to replace at a high cost), but did advise I go get new tires from Discount Tires or Firestone. Auto Tek provided a highly positive experience, and I would go back. read more

Upon my daughter's move to another state I joked to the guys at Autotek that they needed to move to her new state and city. Based on my decades of experience dealing with auto service and repair shops Autotek is one of the two best auto service and repair shops I have ever dealt with. (The other one is our local shop in Michigan.) Upon our daughter's arrival in Austin, TX, close to seven years ago, we had to go through the trial and error search for an expert service and repair shop that was honest, fair both before and after the repair work, personable, and centered on their customer's needs and concerns. Luckily, we found Autotek six years ago. One gets to learn more about a shop when in the shop's waiting room for the completion of simple jobs, e.g., an oil change. When listening to the manner the Autotek staff work with each other, with customers both in person and on the phone, and with parts stores when placing orders, you get, I believe, a better sense of the ethos of the shop. And I believe Autotek's is superior. And, just as important as how one is dealt with by the service desk is the end result of whatever service or repair the guys "in the back" do on the car. The work was always completed when promised and done correctly with quality parts. Each "half" of the shop combined to be an outstanding business providing an outstanding customer experience. Prior to driving to her new state my daughter and I took her car to Autotek in order to have them do a preventive maintenance inspection. Upon picking up the car and us informing the guys at the front counter that it was the last time we would be there due to her move they were very gracious and appreciative of my daughter's trust and business with them and wished us both the best. In addition, they told my daughter to feel free to call them if she had any questions about her car or to use them for a second opinion to whatever a repair shop tells her in her new state. As a father I really appreciated the crew at Autotek treating my daughter and I with respect, honesty, and fairness. I highly recommend Autotek and if your daughter or son move to Austin I believe you will not go wrong directing them to Autotek. And if you move to Austin, you will not go wrong with Autotek as your service and repair shop. So, to repeat, and in conclusion, Autotek is one of the two best auto service and repair shops I have ever dealt with during the decades of owning a car while living in several states during my career. read more

Very professional staff. In particular, we've been there several times with an older car, and they have been very helpful determining which services were necessary and not if we were only keeping the vehicle for x-amount of time longer. Several friends use them and are satisfied, too. Nice lobby, btw. read more

Love love love this place! I cannot say enough positive things about them. I am a single woman with a rapidly aging car and need a place that is honest and reliable. I have found that. Every person that I have spoken with there has been friendly, professional and prompt. But the best part is, the last two times I have needed to take my car in, I have actually wound up paying LESS than the original estimate! I would highly recommend them to anyone- and have. read more

I HATE car problems. And I do mean HATE. So, in my opinion, having an honest, reliable auto mechanic is as essential as having cold A/C in Texas. Both are an absolute must. I stumbled upon AutoTek with an oil change Groupon after moving to Austin over a year ago and what luck! This is the best auto mechanic I have ever had the pleasure to deal with....and I've dealt with a LOT of so called "mechanics" over the years (see first statement). Aaron and staff are honest, efficient, thorough and incredibly nice. Also, they are close to my house so I can walk to drop off and pick up my car. It just doesn't get any better than that! read more

These guys earned my trust by completely exceeding my expectations in value, transparency, and price. I can't name a single other place in town that would beat their own quote's price if the work was less than originally anticipated. These guys will definitely be my go-to mechanics from now on. read more

This place is great, and everyone is super friendly. I was told by several people that I needed new breaks, only to find out from Autotek that they're still in fine condition. This is definitely one of those places you can go as a female who doesn't know much about cars, and feel safe knowing that they will not try to get you to spend money for unnecessary repairs. I'm lucky that they're down my street, and will continue to go to them for any car repair that I need while I live in Austin. read more

Someone is looking to buy my car and took me to this place to get it checked out. The guy looking to buy my car had nothing but amazing things to say about these guys. I gotta say, he was right. Everyone I talked to that worked there was extremely knowledgable about cars and also extremely hospitable. They really do a great job of explaining things in thorough detail and I left feeling like I was taken care of and not ripped off. Which is not always the case with mechanic shops in Austin. Bravo guys. No wonder you're backed up with business. read more

Friendly, fast and GREAT price on oil change. I have some problems with my transmission/leak and they weren't pushy AT ALL. They emailed me an estimate so I can review it on my own time. Totally will be coming back. Thanks!!!! read more

This place could not get better. I've been coming here for three years now. Today, Aaron helped me out big time. I luckily caught my brakes going out just in time. Auto Tek replaced my rotors and brake pads for a reasonable price within a day. They also helped me tighten my spoiler and fix my undercarriage. They have a super clean waiting room, with tv and coffee if you don't have to wait that long. Luckily, I can walk here! Thanks again for the amazing service Auto Tek! See you next time! read more

I think we all know the apprehension one might feel when looking for an auto repair shop to fix your car. I just had some long standing oxygen censor issues fixed by Auto Tek, Inc. and this was a great experience from beginning to end. I had the advantage of reading the great reviews about this place and here's one more. Aaron was very pleasant (not phony pleasant) and explained to me what my car needed every step of the way. I found him to be knowledgeable and thorough and my car is driving great! Since I had to leave my car overnight because they needed to order a part they even offered to give me a ride home. I am very pleased with the experience I had with Auto Tek and would recommend them to anyone who wants to go somewhere where you are treated with respect and are charged a fair price for good work. I am no longer afraid because I have found the place I will always take my car for repairs and upkeep. Thanks Auto Tek! read more

These guys are simply fantastic! I got an appointment for a vehicle inspection for the following day, they took a mere twenty minutes to get me in and out, and even took the time to help make my recent move and vehicle registration easier by referring me to the quickest place for registration. The guy was so helpful he even drew me a map. It's amazing to see customer service like this and I can assure you I will use them for any of my vehicle needs. read more

Auto Tek is definitely the best mechanic I have found so far in Austin! Aaron always seems to be the one there when I bring my car in, he is friendly and very up front when explaining what is being done to my car and what it will cost. I have taken my car in several times just for an oil change here but I have also been in a few times for more extensive work as well and I am always impressed. If you want quality work at a fair price from friendly, honest people then come to Auto Tek! read more

They have very great customer service. However, their pre-purchase inspection was sub par. I ended up having major repairs done to my car after purchasing it. They inspected it and said it was good. They missed some major stuff. I was even offered a discount on some of labor for the minor repair they found during the inspection. Yet when I asked about it later, the same person couldn't give me a definitive answer on whether he would still honor it. read more

The reviews could not be more accurate. Excellent customer service with honesty and integrity.

AutoTek crew: I appreciate the outstanding service, expert diagnosis, and professionalism that your shop provides. I will be recommending your shop to everyone I know. read more

I've taken both of my vehicles in to Auto Tek, and each time I've dealt with this business they have been top notch. Great service, reasonable prices, and they do great work. I've never dealt with a better mechanic . . . highly recommended! read more

These guys are amazing and the only mechanics I use and trust. Highly recommended to friends and family!

There is no way to explain just how much I love these guys. My dad and I do the majority of work on my car, and they are incredibly supportive of that. I've never seen a place like that. They diagnose the problem and check our work afterwards, but any time there is a job bigger than we can do, I am more than happy to have them do it. They treat their customers like family and care about you as an individual. I will never go to anyone else as long as I'm in Austin. read more

Amazing! Everything went perfect as it can when you have a vehicle problem. Courteous staff, provided a complimentary ride to and from, and a confirmation email of my appointment. Very friendly staff! read more

The reviews are accurate about Auto Tek. These people are reliable, professional and honest. My daughter's car had an ABS brake light coming on and a strange beeping sound every time she turned left. They connected the car to the computer and added brake fluid to her car which fixed the problem. Rarely do you find an auto shop that will find the simple fix for a problem without adding unnecessary repairs. Thank you so much Auto Tek!!! read more

I found Auto Tek via yelp, and was on my way there this morning to get my car inspected on the last day of the month of my car registration sticker expiring, so it was important to have done today. Well, my first mistake was stopping at Jiffylube on the way, only to be told, they weren't doing inspections today, and they pointed me to a nearby place. I drove there, it scared me. It looked like the kind of place that if you jokingly offered to sell your kidney for an expensive repair, they would take you up on it. So I went back to the original plan, and started driving towards Auto Tek. But no, another Jiffylube? Sure, why not. That one was even worse. There were 6 people in line, with no one providing anyone service for about 10 minutes. I was now 2 blocks from Auto Tek, so I decided to stick to the plan this time. From the minute I walked in the service was prompt and warm, and maybe they could read the desperation on my face, but even with only 1 inspection provider on site today, they were able to get me in the queue and taken care of in less than an hour. While waiting, I noticed that everyone that works there seemed genuinely happy. That made the wait much easier. I highly recommend this place! I should've stuck with my original plan from the start this morning and saved myself some time. Do yourself the favor, spare your kidneys, and just go to Auto Tek. read more

I am so glad customers have a way to rate service online, because when I was looking for an auto repair shop, I checked Yelp, and I found really positive ratings for Auto Tek. This place is awesome and they are honest about what needs to be done to your car. I've had my car there several times now, and the service is always 5 star! I know I can trust them to do what needs to be done. Trust is very important with car repair, and because I trust them, I will take my car there for all of my auto repair needs. Thanks so much Auto Tek, and thanks to all of your nice employees!! read more

Wow this place is great and the reason is honesty. Took my car here for a new driveshaft and paid for the part. The mechanic called me and said it was not the driveshaft and replaced the u joints fixing the problem. After labor was taken out I was refunded money for a part they didn't use. Most shops would of just slapped it in there charged me and called it a day. Also the quality of the work in terms of time and communication with staff. Top notch I highly recommend this place read more

Great service - I took my car in. They could not diagnose what was wrong. Told me that I needed to take it to the Jaguar dealership. Did not charge me the diagnostic fee. They were very nice! My first time there and will go back if needed! read more

Thank you for taking care of my Jeep. Also parents Honda. Cousins Toyota. Excellent customer service and repair. Thanks for getting alignment back in spec on my Jeep. read more

Can't add much more to what has already been said. These guys are five star all the way. Friendly, reliable, trustworthy. They let you know your options, what repairs are optional, etc. Every time I take an uber there to pick up my car, I can't help but tell the driver that this is THE place to go for auto repair. Keep up the great work! read more

This place is AMAZING! I have a 2006 (quite finicky) VW Beetle, and I have never ever taken my car to such an amazing shop before. I was in town for the holidays to visit family, when my car literally just stalled and wouldn't work. I got a recommendation from my uncle, and I took my car in the very next day. Everyone here is very fair, is good at explaining stuff, and they won't try to cheat you out of your money. In addition to the amazing service I received when I took my car in, I was also very pleased to see that they put down a paper floor mat and made sure not to get dirt or oils from other cars on my seat, as I have a cream interior that is easy to spot dirt and grime with. The workers here take the time to listen to the customer, and they take adequate time to sit down and explain things to you. I know I come from out of town, but if something happens to my car again, they can definitely count on a repeat customer. read more
