I was on the road traveling from Fort Worth to Austin when my tire check system light came on notifying me to check my tire pressure. I pulled into Dunn's Btake and Tire repair shop and they gave me great advice on repairing my tire and getting me right back on the road again. Thank you Dunn's Brake and Tire, your help was greatly appreciate. Best to you, Michelle T. read more

They dont know much about Jeeps- and it seems like after a repair a new problem would occur- after several instances of this I decided to try someone else- read more

Great people that get the job done reasonably priced. Will use them again They do what needs to be done without upselling things you don't need. read more

Excellent, thorough , and knowledgeable mechanics and technicians. Estimates are accurate and communication is clear and timely.

I heard good things about this shop when my car broke down. They are honest, fair, and communicate the entire time they had my car. It was a major issue and they didn't stop until it was Dunn". I found my new mechanic. I'm happy with the process and the work. Appreciate you guys! read more

Chris and Jennifer tried to charge my 85 year old mother-in-law $700 for a fuel pump that was $350 retail from the local parts store. The real problem was the $40 o-ring the claimed they couldn't find without buying the $700 pump. I found it at the local parts store too. read more

So let me start with everything was fine at first like the service and price. I had an issue with my car and they managed to replace and fix it for a fair price.The only issue I have is that my lug-nuts were NOT put back on properly and it resulted in me almost having an accident (not to mention we're having diagnostics done to see if anything was damaged as a result of this)outside of Centerville an hour outside of Waco. To elaborate I tried to see if there was a email on the site to get more info and discuss this situation with an employee but unfortunately there's only a number and I work a lot of day shifts and it's nearly impossible to stop to call and explain this whole situation so hence the yelp review. I thought I got a flat and checked my car out and all tires were there except my lug nut locks and my tire which had rolled into the ditch next to my car. Luckily I didn't get into an accident. I had gotten my car worked on here and got parts replaced on that side of my vehicle in November and was told everything looked great and that they changed my drive belt on that side and it was great to take home. Clearly everything was (as far as I could tell) fine but the lug nuts were not put on correctly and almost resulted in a nasty car accident. Upon inspection of the tire we noticed there was scraping where the lug nut bolts were and where they snapped off of the rim. I'd recommend making sure if customers have lug nut bolts/locks that they are being installed properly back on cause this almost resulted in a severe accident. But other than that it's a fine place to go to just wish there was an email I could reach out to that was listed on y'all's website to discuss this matter with. I still have the receipt as well. :/ read more

See all

They did a great job of grinding my rotters and replacing my brake pads quickly so I could make my afternoon meeting. I'll use them again

I am a college age girl and I don't know anything about cars. They could have told me just about anything and I would have believed them. They informed me nothing was wrong and didn't charge me a cent. It is refreshing to see honest mechanics! They are very trustworthy! read more

We were on a road trip and had tire issues along the way. Dunn's had us taken care of an on our way in less than an hour, while surrounding shops had 3+ hour wait times! They were quick and beyond reasonably priced read more

They were so helpful and nice! Auto shops are sometimes intimidating as a female, but not with these guys! They got my car done in one day- both an oil change and repairs from a wreck! They even have a shuttle service so that you can get on with your day while your car is getting fixed! read more

I came in for break work, there quality of work was absolutely horrible, and I believe the repair was not what i needed, and the work did not fix my problem, and could have resulted in a dangerous situation read more

I had to get my front wheel bearings and drivers side spindle replaced after braking down on the way to school. They told me they would take a look at the spindle and see if it needed to be replaced or if they could fix it and i asked them to give me a call if it needed to be replaced and i could go pick up a used one from the parts yard and have it to them that day. by the end of the day they finally gave me a call back saying they already had a spindle on the way and it should be fixed by the next day and i was charged $70 dollars more than what i would've paid for it. i also told them i had the wheel bearings to do the job but they insisted in using their own parts rather than what i had. this costed me an extra $90 dollars. when they called me and told me that the spindle was on the way i was also told that the total was going to be $259 and some change before tax. when i got there they then told me that it would be $359 and change and then tax. turns out the paper the person who was on the phone with me the day before had a paper saying $259 and when the person at the desk showed it to me you could clearly see that the 2 was changed to a 3 by adding a loop to the top of the 2. I was charged $370 when it could've been done for $150 or less. read more

After going to pep boys and getting a quote of $750 for new brake pads and new rotors (due to a shaky wheel when braking), I decided to come here to get a second opinion. As a young women I wanted to make sure I wasn't being taken advantage of, and I sure was! I was told here that my brake pads were basically brand new and didn't need replacement at all and that my rotors could just be turned for $83!!! The man I spoke to (believe his name was chris) seemed to really care about the best option, not the option that got them the most money. My car now runs better then it ever has! Very happy with my decision to go here, I highly recommend coming here, especially if you are a young woman like me!! read more

I highly recommend this place. They are honest and reliable. My car had an air conditioning hose stopped up and water was leaking on the floor of my car. They spent almost an hour getting it unstopped. I went to the counter to pay and I was told there was no charge. read more

Super friendly and did great job on oil change! Convenient and ready to help. Recommend for sure.

OLD SCHOOL HONESTLY: We were visiting Waco, and I took my Jeep in for what I thought could be a starter issue. Mike, at the front desk, was friendly and assured me that they would look at it carefully. By the end of the day, Mike called and told me they tested everything and couldn't get the starter to fail. He said that he couldn't justify selling me on something I might not need at the moment and left the decision up to me. They kept the Jeep overnight and again, no problems in the morning. When I picked it up, Mike told me there was no charge even for the time involved for looking at it. Being from out-of-town, I was very pleased with the honesty. As a result, I gave them some cash to buy the whole shop lunch that day...sorta of a pay it forward thing! read more

I great home town auto shop. Friendly, honest and knowledgeable. They do a good job at a reasonable price. Nobody ever "wants" to go for car repairs, but working with a good team makes it a little better. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing. The best in town. Honest reliable and very fair prices. Can't say enough how great Cecil and his team are to work with.

I didn't feel comfortable with this company, it just didn't seem I had an honest appraisal of my cars brakes

The his has been an enjoyable transaction. I had a incident in Feb 2023 that caused $5000 damage to the right undercarriage when I went over a curb that wasn't marked by the construction company that was doing the new median that separated the right side of the road from the left. there was no dirt or concrete pour in it nor did it have any barrel warning of it being unfinished. Apple Sport Body Shop was doing the repairs and after calling her this last week....she said they did a frontend alignment which could be no where near the truth as much as it was out. Dunn was really busy Thursday and I could see I was going to have to take it to them before they closed if I had any hope of getting them to do it. I did my due diligence when I was looking for someone to do this for me. I got a call at 9:30 in the morning and he explained how badly the car was out of alignment and what it would take to fix it. after I approved of the repairs....wow.....I got a call back at 12:30 it was ready. talk about informative and speedy, I couldnt ask for much more. I had two new tire two weeks prior put on because the two front tires....the new one Apple Sport put on and the other was newly put on in October last year....needless to say, wire came through just on the edge and that's when I had to buy two more new tires in July this year. If you're looking for a good place to take your auto.....this is it!!!! read more

This place is so great! I've brought my car in twice for service and have worked with Chris. He is so nice, honest and helpful. As a young woman who doesn't know much about cars, auto shops can be daunting, but he's never made me feel anything but well-taken care of! Their prices are very fair and their service is exceptional! read more

I had to bring my car for a water pump replacement. I was charged nearly $900 for the repair. They mark up the price on parts all the way up to 800%. I would avoid this place at all cost. Rip off factory read more

Took my truck in a year ago to change a bad CV axle. During the repair a wheel sensor went out and threw a bunch of codes. Dunn's replaced the assembly and was very nice to work with. Recently went in for a oil change too, all good. First come first serve means a quick turn around if you're willing to go in the morning. Good service shop? read more

These gentlemen are top notch!! They are prompt, kind, and very professional. I had a little mishap on a business trip and I was back on my way within 15 minutes! Thank you for amazing service!! read more

This is a total rip off garage. I went there for an alignment and I was told my lower ball joints were bad. He also said it was a very labor intensive job and quoted me $650 to do it. His mistake was that I am a mechanic with 20 years experience and over 20 certifications to list on my resume. My ball joints are perfect. Furthermore, ball joints are not that labor intensive. They aren't fun but lower ball joints take under an hour a side to do. I have replaced countless ball joints in my career. This shop has been caught red handed by a real expert! Avoid this place, they are theives. read more

Took my equinox here yesterday after our check engine light came on, they were able to take care of me right then which was so nice. The gentleman I spoke to, Mike, explained what was going on without being condescending. They were a very nice and affordable. Can't say enough nice things! Found my repair shop! read more

If you want honest, fair priced auto repair done right the first time then this is the shop for you. Dunns is the only place me and my family will ever use. We have two 2015 model cars and take them to dunns for our maintenance, tires alignments and get the same service the dealer would do for 1/2 the cost! Best in waco!! read more

The people who work at Dunns are the best. They are very honest and don't charge for work that doesn't need to be done. They are reasonable with their charges to fix a vehicle also. I highly recommend them. read more

I posted an HONEST review of my experience with Dunn's Auto Repair, and I want people to know that the response that I received back from them is NOT accurate! FACT #1) While it is true that the body of my Hummer has over 220,000 miles on it, as she noted (to imply that my vehicle is old and so this is to be expected), the motor and transmission were BOTH replaced with BRAND NEW ONES (NOT rebuilt ones) and only have about 38,000 miles on them, NOT 220,000.00. The dishonest folks over at Dunn's ARE aware of this FACT, and this is just another example of their DELIBERATE DISHONESTY! FACT #2) I spent THOUSANDS of DOLLARS on the SAME ISSUES, repeatedly over the course of 7-8 months and they would've continued charging me over and over again if I hadn't stood up for myself!! I had to ARGUE with them repeatedly for a very long time just to FINALLY get them to agree to at least fix part of it again without charging me, and when I went in this last time, they ARGUED with me AGAIN, and he actually told me that if I didn't like it I could take my vehicle somewhere else....so that's exactly what I DID! I took my vehicle to a mechanic that someone referred to me on the Old Dallas Highway and he fixed part of the problem for me for $95.00, and he was HONEST with me about the other issue as well. He said that the sensors are coming on periodically and going off because the front end is a little out of sinc (from a wreck I had) and that's why the sensor lights come on periodically and go back off, and replacing the front hub was just a waste of my money (Dunn's replaced it TWICE btw),since the only way to solve the problem long term would be to replace the frame or disconnect the sensors. Dunn's can try to SPIN this however they want, but these are the facts.... read more

Too disgusted with the whole situation for words. I've been coming to this shop since 2002 for car repairs and I will no longer be a customer. Word to the wise if you must get your vehicle repaired here, stay up there with your car. Even if it's 3 days. If not you might end up like me and end up leaving with other things broken and 3 1/4 inch wood wedges holding up a window that was naturally up on its on when you brought it to them. Now I get to go find another mechanic and pay $250 or so to fix something I know wasn't broken when I brought it in. Yea. read more

Dunn's is hands down the most ethical and honest auto shop I've ever used. Time and again they prove to be the very best. I never have concerns about being overbilled or jerked around. Thank you for your incredible customer service. read more

I've been using Dunn's for about a year now for taking care of general repairs on several of my cars. Everytime they have been fairly priced and got the job done promptly. They've done a cluthch change on a Honda for me, AC overhaul on a Chevy truck, a few oil changes and a front end alignment on a camaro and a brake job. On my most recent visit, I was having problems with my turn signals and expected to replace the switch on the column for around $200. Much to my relief, I got a call and Dunn's informed me that the mechanic cleaned some contacts on a connector and everything was working fine. I ended up spending $30 for this repair and it reinforced my trust that they were not out to rip me off with false diagnoses or just change parts to cost me more money. You can always call in advance and get a good quote as well. I've never bought tires from them so I can't comment on that but they have a competent staff of mechanics and have always been polite and happy to answer other questions related to my car's maintenance. read more

If your looking for a pretty waiting room (and I'm a lady) this isn't it :). Definitly a hole in the wall looking place. Really could use some paint, but I didn't really care because they treated me well and their prices seemed fair. I've been twice. Once for a flat which was $12 to fix and another for a sensor issue in a tire. I don't remember the cost exactly but they quoted me around $130 and it ended up being closer to $100. It is a first come first serve place, so if you have a schedule to keep then this might not work for you. read more

Dunn's - Excellent, Quick, Honest, Amazing! We have happily used Dunn's for foreign and domestic repairs and tires for many years! One great example of their honesty & integrity was when I thought we needed a repair to an A/C on one of our vehicles. They called to tell me that it did in fact need a repair BUT they would be taking care of it! They had looked up in their paperwork and found we had already had the repair done previously and it was under their warranty. I did NOT ask for them to do this. I did not even remember having that repair done! They also ended up not using that same brand of part because they said it was not as reliable as they thought it should be. Wow! Another notable repair they did was a problem that the car dealership could NOT even figure out! These guys are always FANTASTIC! read more

Just had front struts done with alignment. Great work, excellent service, pleasant personnel!

My daughter is a student at Baylor. Based on reviews, when it was time for her to get an oil change, I had her go to Dunn's. She has a BMW X3. When she arrived, she reports she was surprised to be met with attitude, with the employee telling her he'd have to go somewhere to get the oil/filter, so it would take longer than expected. She waited at a nearby Barnes and Noble for an hour, then got a call telling her that nobody was comfortable changing the oil on her car. Hard to believe that took an hour to discover? So, after wasted time and no service, we will never return to Dunn's. Disappointing, and not recommended. read more

I give Dunn's 5 Stars for honestly and fair dealings. Prices are fair and worth the peace of mind knowing they only repair what is needed.

My family has been using Dunn's Brake and Tire for years time after time they get the job done thoroughly, competitively priced, and most cases same day. I travel for work and put over 60,000 miles on my car last year. Dunn's replaced my brakes at the beginning of the year and I didn't have any problems the whole year. I was recently in there because I ran over a tire on I-35. After thoroughly inspecting the car. They found that I had bent the control arm. This accident also cause my alignment to go out of alignment and a need for a tire due to the belt showing through. Dunn's was able to do this all in one day with a very reasonable price. They treat you like family . Weather it's Mike, Cecil or David I know they are going to properly diagnose my car. Thanks for getting me back on the road. Nick Gorham read more

Our car's brakes were making some subtle new sounds. It's our first car and we don't know anything about brakes, so that made us nervous. Dunn's inspected the brakes, cleaned them up, reassured me that there was nothing wrong with them beyond some dirt, and charged me nothing. They don't advertise free brake inspections (maybe so that they wouldn't get confused with some flaky places?), and I went to them expecting to pay, and was pleasantly surprised. And they were courteous and professional throughout. Plus they're conveniently situated by Barnes and Noble and Home Depot, so there is something to do while waiting (they also have a waiting room and a shuttle service). They have a discount coupon on their website, but since the inspection was free, I didn't need to use it. read more
