Today, on my way back to Austin, my alternator belt snapped, which caused a lot of problems with my truck and forced me to pull over on the side of the road. I started looking for a nearby repair shop to fix my truck, and I found Bastrop Auto, which is the best in the area in terms of roadside service over the phone. From the moment I arrived at the shop, the staff did their absolute best and provided excellent customer service. Vanessa, thank you so much for helping me today, and also thanks to Juan who repaired my truck in such a short time. Thank you so much, guys. read more

We had a Jeep that was in an accident and thought it may have been totaled. These guys took it, scrubbed down the engine and fixed the minor problem and had us back up and run and running in no time. Honesty and integrity all with a fair price! We will be back! read more

Had to take our old Ford Flex in and found out parts were no longer made for that vehicle. Shout out to Ben, Juan, and Vanessa for communicating and tirelessly working to get the parts in. Not once did I have to call to find out progress as Ben called me daily to give me updates. Thank you! Nikki read more

Took our vehicle in for a fuel issue, they were able to fix it and did not require all of the extra parts quoted by another shop. The mechanic also took the time to explain exactly what was wrong and what was done to make the repairs. read more

Don't stop here for a vehicle inspection, it's very obvious they don't like doing inspections and don't want to do them. The guy even stated "it's almost not even worth doing inspections", how lame is that?! Last three years they've sent me away due to "my machines not working, maybe tomorrow" c'mon man!! If you don't want to perform vehicle inspections you should take down the advertisements that state that you do perform them! read more

I have been taking my 2 cars here for 8 yrs. Recently, my truck was pulling a code for a cylinder misfire. They has recently replaced this cylinder, so I took it back to them to check it out. Mind you, my truck was performing perfectly when I took it. I was simply wanting to make sure it was suitable to drive my kid in without the risk of stalling. They said it was a coil so I paid to have it replaced (although I would think that would have been replaced with the cylinder?). After I pay and try to leave, my truck wouldn't start. I told the mechanic and said I was frustrated since the truck was working fine when I brought it in, he started yelling at me- literally yelling at me in the parking lot saying that he was sick of people coming in and blaming him for things. He said it was a bad battery and lectured me about my dirty terminals. He jumped the truck by bypassing the battery via the solenoid which fried my stereo system. I was just happy to get out of there. The next day I replace the battery and it still won't start. I talked to the owner who told me to try jumping it again via the solenoid (which seems unprofessional/dangerous) to no avail, then have it towed to them and he would "help me out". They apparently fried my starter and they still had the audacity to charge me for the replacement. I feel taken advantage of and am beyond frustrated. My truck was working perfectly, then suddenly I am out all of this money for a coil, battery, starter, tow and stereo. As a female, I am constantly dealing with these kinds of issues. But I thought this place was different, especially considering that they so prominently display the Christian fish symbol on their signage. The whole situation was so frustrating, expensive and manipulative. read more

*** re-post from a few months ago*** I don't know the people who claim to be happy with this place, or their situations. All I know, is they charged $1000 for a fuel pump. 4 hours of labor on a 1 hour fix. They also somehow broke my backup cam. This place is slow to action and a disappointment. *** new post*** So, I finally was getting around to take my truck back to this place to get my backup cam fixed, or at least schedule an appt to do so. Believe it or not, half way there, truck dies. I coast to side of HWY. Thankfully, my wife was following. Brand new fuel pump is dead. I wondered if it had actually been replaced or just repaired. Another tow, explained (again) that I knew it was the fuel pump. Told them fix my backup cam while they were in there. 7 working days later, get a call. "Yep, it's the fuel pump". No shit. Told them 3 times not to forget to fix my backup cam. 3 working days later, "truck'll be ready before 6pm, but we close, so don't be late". Pull up at 5:40pm. Office door locked. After knocking and waiting, I walk around to shop. Wait some more, knock, "COME IN!!!" I wiggle the handle violently. The door opens, get my keys. Start my truck. Backup camera still doesn't work. If I would have realized these 5 star reviews (fake?) Were so old, I would have found some place else. Go somewhere else. They might not have the same management as they did when these 5 starts were given... or they were fake reviews at start-up. You'll thank me. read more

First...to respond to David V. Post...it is not good to rush when getting car repairs done. U should Try doing his job! NOW to my last visit. Renee and staff are the best. I would not go anywhere else, when given a choice. First rate in courtesy, promptness, price, and mechanical knowledge. Ms.Shirley read more

I've always been satisfied with repairs they have made on my vehicles. Their labor and parts costs are more than fair and the quality of their work exceeds that of other mechanic shops I've done business with. Turnaround time is quick too. They are professional and personally good people. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!! read more

Rene and team repaired damage done to our stolen vehicle. They went out of their way to make our repairs quickly before the rental car was due back. They even had to source parts that were no longer manufactured for our 2002 model truck. All repairs were done in time and the final invoice was just what we expected. Bastrop Auto Works is the place to have your car repaired around Bastrop, Texas. I would certainly use them again. read more

Bastrop Auto Works are an awesome great family owned business. Our truck broke down when the transmission hose broke pulling our trailer for Boy Scout camp out in Lost Pines. Not only did they fix the hose, they personally helped get us around town since we didn't have a vehicle. They always kept us updated and did the work for a very reasonable price knowing we were out of town and stranded. They didn't take advantage, they simply helped us. You could tell this is how they treat all their customers and run their business. If you live in the Bastrop area need auto work done you should consider the first call/stop to their shop! read more

Bastrop Auto Works has done numerous service and repair jobs on my vehicles over the years, both cars and trucks. I have referred a lot of friends and business associates to them. I have never been disappointed with the work on my vehicles and none of my referrals have had anything but praise for these folks. Sometimes you may have to wait a minute in the office but that is because they devote all their attention to each customer before helping the next client. They have been honest, skilled mechanics, dependable, and very fairly priced. I have lost count of the times they have gone the extra mile for me. With out a doubt these people are "the real deal". read more

I have had allot of promises but they keep dropping the ball. Never follow up what they say and have no respect for a person's time. When they told me they would have my car tags there and I asked them what time to come pick them up to be sure they had them they told me 4:30. I was there at 4:30 and they never had gone to pick them up. Car has dash lights on and leaks fluid and shakes, Very dissatisfied. I was looking for the - 5 stars but a one star is as low as it goes. read more

We have used Rene for many many years. Very honest and very dependable. He has repaired my Toyotas and charged 1/3 the price that the Toyota dealer in Austin wanted to charge. His son now works with him and it's nice to know that our vehicles will be in good hands for years to come. read more

We take our vehicles to Bastrop Auto Works. We can count on these guys to give us the straight story on what needs fixing and what can wait. They do not take AmEx, which is the main reason I didn't give them 5 stars, although I understand AmEx is expensive for small businesses. Sometimes repairs can take longer than a dealership, but again they are a small business and don't stock every part for every make, so once diagnosed it can take an extra day or so to get the vehicle back. But if you can live with those limitations, they are a really good shop and appreciate their customers. read more
