Cy is amazing. He speaks to you on your level, explains things without talking down or with jargon you don't understand. He is methodical like a doctor and works from the ground up to find out what is wrong. When I needed a new catalytic converter, he found the best price, was up front what the labor would cost, and did it fast. And unlike some places, he didn't find extra things wrong that needed to get done. I've recommended Cy to a few friends and everyone has been happy with his service. read more

Cy is such a great, genuine guy, and does an amazing job. I was recommended to see him by my boyfriend since his family has been seeing him for years - they don't ever get their car fixed by anyone else because Cy is just so reliable, fast, and is very great with pricing. read more

Cy's Car World - This is the before - Body Shops Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

I'm preparing to replace a timing belt on a recently purchased used vehicle, and called around to get quotes on the service. Cy picked up the phone each time I called, and made time to give me an accurate quote. His pricing is very fair, he is personable, and I'm sure he does great work, based on the reviews here. I think I've found a new mechanic in Austin... and if you're reading this, you should give him the opportunity to impress you too. I will update this review after the work is done -- this review is for his customer service alone, which is exceptional. read more

Cy has been corking on my families cars since before I can remember. For over a decade he's been reliable, handy, flexible, and most of all he helps the customer in any way he can to not break the bank. read more

This is my review from his previous location (listed on Yelp) before he moved: I've been a customer of Cy's for well over 10 yrs. I primarily do most of my own (minor) work. But when I need something a bit more complex, I take my stuff hear. Cy is honest and prices are very reasonable. I like that he's open a bit on Saturdays too. He's just south of Braker on Lamar in a business complex. read more

If you are taking your car anywhere else, you are getting ripped off! OK, maybe not, but seriously this is the most honest and trustworthy place I've ever taken my car to. I vaguely remember my dad taking his car here 10 or so years ago and has been please every time. Fast forward to present day - My 2001 Subaru Forester was in need of a new Timing Belt. Called around to 4 different places including a dealership, a Napa car care place, and 2 auto chains. I was quoted between $1,000-1,300 dollars to replace. In tears, (partially because my car's squeaking was giving me a migraine) I called my dad for help. Instead of forking over the money I was hoping for, he asked if I had contacted Cy. I went ahead and gave him a shout expecting to hear the same news. He told me told over the phone that he could replace the timing belt and water pump for less than $400.00. Not only that, he EXPLAINED to me why I should go ahead and replace the water pump and the fact that I would be saving about $250 on labor, because he would already be right there taking out the timing belt. Excited about being able to afford to stop the squeak of my car, I dropped it off immediately the next day. His shop fixed it no problem and the car run so smoothly. Because I'm taking my car to only Cy's now, I pulled out one of the estimates I had gotten from Napa that shows the additional items they said my car needed. He looked it over and told me which ones to worry about and which ones were not needed at all, including a tune-up (that they wanted to charge me $800 for!) He said my car was running well and it did not need a tune-up. He told me the signs to watch out for when your are getting to the point of needed a tune-up. Just when you think it can't get any better, I asked his about my brakes that will need to be done soon. He flat out told me I should never pay someone to change my brake pads or do my oil changes. He offered to teach me to do these things on my own so I never have to pay someone else to do them again. I am going to take him up on this offer. read more

I never write reviews for anything, but Cy has been so good to me I feel like I should. So I know next to nothing about cars. I've been taken for a ride (cool pun, right?) by mechanics before, but Cy is honest, pretty frequently undercharges me, and goes out of his way to accommodate. For example: When I needed a few quick fixes done, he met me in the parking lot - this was on a busy Saturday - and got it done in ten minutes! At no charge! AND, when I had some pretty big car issues, he talked to me extensively beforehand to figure out the problems and make sure I understood what needed fixing and why. He gave me a list of priority repairs, and he did it at such a hugely reasonable price I felt a little guilty - incredibly important when you're on a budget. Even showed me the bad parts he replaced afterwards. Bonus: he calls me "ma'am" and treats me like a regular person, unlike the dudes at Groovy Automotive. His garage is hidden behind a bunch of warehouses on North Lamar, without a sign, so it's a little tricky to find. But well worth the effort. read more

Cy is the best mechanic in Austin. He's super inexpensive and he always gets the job done right the first time. I always take my truck in and he fixes it with no hassle at a fraction of the price of other mechanics. read more

Very honest and reliable. I recommend Cy's for any type of car repair.

i've been taking my vehicles to Cy's Car World for a few years now. he's honest, does good work, and never charges me for something unless it is imperative. i often get a lower quote from him than other places, and he does just as much of a good job, if not better. can't recommend him enough! read more

I took my car a few weeks ago to cy for an alternator problem. He was very friendly and helpful but I felt I paid more than I should given the simple fix. read more

For over 8 years I have been going to Cye for all of my work. Suspension... Engine... minor Body work and I am beyond pleased with not only the craftmanship, but the PRICE! Kia Amanti, Kia Spectra, Dodge Caravan, Ford T-Bird. EASY 5 Stars for Cye. read more

A phenomenal shop, Cy is an amazing individual! Reached out to him on a Sunday afternoon he assisted me with my situation had my car up and running Monday afternoon. I can tell he goes above and beyond for his customers. Which is important especially coming from a woman. I prefer to stay away from big franchise establishments because they will tell you everything. But not Cy, I will be a longtime customer for as long as I reside in Texas. I was a first time customer, and just based off our conversation on Sunday afternoon he asked where I found his shop because he knows all of his customers voices. That speaks for itself. Hats off to Cy he's amazing. read more

A friend referred me to Cy and spoke very highly of him. I had Cy take a look at a used car I wanted to buy. He was straight forward on the work that would need to be done and didn't charge very much at all for the analysis. Flash forward 3 months and sure enough it was time to get the timing belt, brakes/rotors and water pump done. I shopped around and the cheapest was still $500 more than Cys charge. He's been extremely helpful and I truly feel like I can trust him with my car. I don't plan on going anywhere else anytime soon! read more

He is amazing and really wants to help you and he has the best prices around and is genuinely concern and cares. He also made my little boy feel comfortable and gave him snacks! He will now be our mechanic from now on!!! read more

We have been going to Cy for over 15 years and will not go anywhere else. Cy is always fair never fixes anything that doesn't need to be fixed and always charges less than anyone. He has kept all of our cars running. He is honest and goes out of his way to find the best and cheapest parts possible. He even searched ebay for a part we had a hard time finding. He goes above and beyond. One year at Easter, my son came in from school and his car was having issues, we dropped it off knowing he wouldn't be able to look at it til Monday but he called us Sunday afternoon and said it was ready. He didn't even charge us extra. He guarantees his work. He does great body work. He has replaced an engine for us, timing belts, water pumps, brakes, radiators, you name it. My oldest son is going back to school and instead of buying a new car, which we thought he needed, Cy is helping him fix it up to last a few more years. Nobody is better than Cy! read more
