The good is that I used them for all my work except that covered by various vehicle manufacturer's OEM warranties from about 2016 through the end of 2025. The work and related recommendations were excellent. The most extensive work was the replacement of a Chrysler 68RFE automatic transmission in a 2009 Dodge HD diesel pickup. The rebuilt transmission they recommended and installed worked perfectly for another year before we traded the truck in. When I went in to schedule maintenance and a minor repair on our 2016 Subaru Outback in late 2025, the place had a different feel. The guy they had up front writing service orders and scheduling was new and failed to understand what I was requesting. Even though I went by ahead of time and carefully explained what I needed done, this employee had to have it all explained again on the scheduled day, and I eventually had to insist on talking to Brad about it. Brad must be short-handed in the shop because it was clear to me that he no longer expected to be directly involved with customers. This shop is a fairly high-priced operation. I don't mind that, but have since taken our business elsewhere. read more

Well first off I called the auto shop as I was going to be in town visiting family. I had received a pickup on trade earlier this year. It had a been in major collision amd didn't have AC, I drove to down from Oregon and realized i certainly didn't want to drive it back like that. I also had some steering wobble and possible break rotor issues so I mentioned that as well. I just picked up my truck from the shop. Paid 250$ for them to tell me the same thing. That my AC was bad amd needed to be replaced and that I had possible alignment issues among other things. Well I told them that when I dropped it off. Along with the fact that the vehicle had been in a major collision. Normally when a mechanic has taken my vehicle they actually listen to me when I tell them what's wrong with the vehicle. These guys just chose not to and to charge me for what I already knew. So to add to an already expensive fix. I just spent 250$ to confirm my vehicle had issues and absolutely no fix was done. I mentioned that to the guy on my way out this morning and his response was you should of told me the vehicle was salvaged tittle. Ummm. Excuse me! I told you on the very first conversation I got the truck on a trade and it was previously in a major wreck. HELLO!!!! Maybe listen to your customers when they explain to you what's wrong with their vehicles. Further more the lady in the front was far from pleasant and the customer service I received was non existent. I had to call to even find out what their diagnoses was. I gave them 4 days and just decided to go get my truck before they racked up any more unnecessary cost. On the way out the guy mentioned his machine for checking the AC just cost him 9grand. I said great. Glad I could help pay that for ya. And I left pretty dissatisfied! I still have no AC. The brakes and rotors I asked to be put on are still in the truck and it cost me 250$ plus 4 days in a rental vehicle. This is not the way you get repeat business nor good reviews. I've driven from Alaska to Panama over the last few years. Met many mechanics along the way. Normally only pay that kinda of money if work was actually preformed. I'm sure they spent no real time on my vehicle and charged me full shop rates for simple diagnostics. Seams to me the only thing they really cared about was the paycheck. I have a large extended family here in the hill country and I'm sure none of them will be using this shop after I let them know my experience. read more

Where do I start. Brought our work truck in for routine maintenance. During the service an unrelated issue was found. Work performed by another shop was done incorrectly and caused some damage to my trani. This damage prevented the completion of my originally scheduled maintenance. Long story short...my 1.5 hr appt turned into an all day affair. Central went above and beyond to get Terri and I back on the road and back to work. On top of that, they made this happen at an affordable price! THANKS CENTRAL! read more

This team of automotive specialists are great. They were very knowledgeable as speedy in my results for my 4Runner. Great customer service and very friendly. The type of people you might just call for a casual conversation if they weren't so busy. Do yourself a favor and call the specialists at Central Automotive. I will when we come back to Texas! read more

Worst Ever I took my truck here because it was running very rough.After a week and numerous phone calls I was told they would have to replace the timing chain and possible valves were bad. Approx cost 1000.00 This is on a 91 Ford 150. In the mean time they managed to blow my muffler and charge me 85.00!After talking with another mechanic it turned out to be an electronic problem. read more

They performed a Texas state inspection on my van. They are very friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Passing thru on vacation found Central Auto glad I did had oil filter change and the tires rotated they did good job if ever in town again I will go back read more

Like these guys. Fair prices for good work, no nonsense and upselling when the chance was there, and most importantly my truck is running great at almost 167k miles ... it has seen a different garage twice in less than two months and I have really been jacked around and wasted a LOT of money elsewhere. They take their time with a solid diagnosis and get the job done and have good customer service to boot. SO glad I found them! read more
