I initially brought my 2008 Honda Ridgeline to First Texas Honda for what should have been a simple power steering reservoir replacement. That quickly escalated into a full power steering system replacement -- costing nearly $6,000 -- and took around two weeks to complete. Within two days of getting my vehicle back, the air conditioning completely failed, requiring another couple thousand dollars in repairs. Just a few days later, the power steering failed again. Turns out, they had installed the wrong part, which took another week to fix. In total, I spent somewhere between $10,000 and $12,000 on a truck that wasn't even worth that in the first place. That's on me -- I chose to proceed with the repairs. But what I don't take responsibility for is First Texas Honda's failure to perform the full diagnostic they claimed they would. Had they been upfront about the extent of the issues from the beginning, I would have never sunk this much into a vehicle that clearly wasn't worth it. What makes this even more disappointing is that my family and I have purchased multiple vehicles from First Texas Honda over the years and have always brought them here for service. That history made this experience especially frustrating. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and I will not be returning for future service or sales. All of this took place roughly a year ago. Since then, I've only driven the vehicle about 3,000 miles -- and would you guess -- the power steering is leaking again. Terrible quality of work, plain and simple. This place feels like a complete scam -- whether through negligence, incompetence, or just predatory business practices. After this, they've lost my trust entirely. read more

The people there are very nice and easy to talk to but at the sametime it is very easy to get ripped off on repairs. I Was told there needs to be a investigation on a symptom as well as a list of fixes which came out to $3k A symptom investigation required leaving the car overnight so I believed they would investigate the symptom first because it only makes sense to understand the full picture of what your working with as far as repairs are concerned. I get a call the day day telling me now there needs to be $10k worth of work. They also tell me they already did the $3k of work and they need my approval for the rest. If i knew the total cost was going to be $10k i would've just bought a new car instead. Why did they not do the investigation first? I would've been fine with paying for the $200 investigation cost and move on to buying a new car but now that there is a sunk cost of $3k this whole situation put me in a very difficult situation where i had no choice but to continue to repairs on a old car that is clearly not worth $10k. Offered me nothing as far as options and in the end my wallet got decimated due to short sightedness from this shop. Personally this experience has been so awful i am not sure if ill be coming back to this store anymore ever again. Id rather drive further and go to the round rock store at this point. read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon to test drive a couple cars. I ended up leaving with a new CRV. My experience for the most part was pretty decent. I do feel it was kind of dragged out at some point and would have been less time consuming. Overall I like my salesman which is rare for me. read more

Bought a 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid sport Touring Sedan at First Texas Honda using the Costco auto buying program and my purchase process was seamless with no pressure at all. The First Texas Honda team was just super. No surprises and no markup. My sales rep Nadeem Khan was fantastic as was the finance manager. I plan to have all my car services at First Texas Honda. And, I highly recommend the Costco auto buying program. read more

Stay far away from this place. I've bought many cars in my lifetime and I'm accustomed to high pressure sales and bait and switch tactics. However, I've never been looked in the eye and blatantly lied to like I was at this dealership. On a positive note, I would give 5 stars for the sales department. The salesperson was knowledgeable and friendly and was patient with me as I spent a lot of time going back and forth between a couple of different cars. That's where the positivity ends. The finance department gets -4.0 stars. The finance manager started into his extended warranty pitch by lying to me about what my monthly payment would be without the warranty. After a bit of negotiation he gave me a big smile and acted like he was going to get me a great deal by selling me the warranty for only an additional $12 per month. However, once I got home and reviewed everything in detail it was obvious that he had inflated the monthly payment without the warranty by $56. So in fact the actual cost of the extended warranty added $68 a month and not $12. This was not a slip of the pen or a simple typo this was willful deceit. When I discovered this deception I returned to the dealership and spoke to a different finance manager. I was assured that the extended warranty would be canceled and my loan amount would be adjusted accordingly. This was 3 weeks ago and my loan amount is unchanged. It seems like their strategy is just lie to you and hope you don't ever follow up and check the math. If you purchased an extended warranty from this dealership then I urge you to review your sales contract in detail and make sure you were not scammed. The standard amount will be about $3729 which at 60 months and 4.9% will be about $68 per month. If you were told anything less then you were also a victim of their lies. @Sunny.Rathore@firsttexashonda.com, Please reach out to me here or on LinkedIn so we can get this resolved. read more

So an update in response to the reply from the manager informing me that Tyler will reached out to out to me. He called me and I briefly spoke with him because I was at work. He apologized for the subpar service I received and offered to make it up to me. I had my mind set that I will not return. He couldn't go into specifics as to how they would redeem themselves because I couldn't talk for king over the phone. There was no follow-up call regarding that. After a couple of weeks he emailed me and said he wanted to "reset" my experience and wanted to "connect next time you are due and see if I can do something better for you?" I do not want to bring my car back for my next oil change after such a bad, if not, one of the worst customer service experience I've had anywhere. If they were new and just opened I can see why there were delays or employees weren't attentive or confused. However, they've been there for quite awhile to have the opportunity to evaluate their customer service skills periodically to make sure things are flowing and customers leave happy. Why would I want to come back based on that experience, and trusting that Tyler will follow through with what he says he can do better for me? He didn't say what or how. It's vague and I find it hard to trust. I went to another dealership and was very happy with their service. This place set the bar low. Hopefully this review will change it. read more

Everyone is nice but yikes oh how long it takes to get any service done. Whatever minimum time they quote you should add at least another hour. Probably 2 to be safe. Fortunately there are snacks and the WiFi is fast enough for most work activities tho maybe not video calls. Lots of places to work when you are waiting. read more

Service here is great, they have an open drink service for you to have lattes, juices and snacks while you wait , also they have a indoor playground for kids, and tons of seating , Alex Sandoval just does an excellent job in finance , best customer service I've experienced read more

First Texas Honda - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been a customer at First Texas Honda since 2021. Always happy with the service. Recently though, I had an unusual experience after a routine oil change that confirmed my belief in the quality of their service and their 'customer first' approach. About 10 minutes after picking up my car all of the 'problem' notifications started flashing. I called my service advisor (Logan) and I told him I was bringing it back. Driving back to the dealer the car lost acceleration so I pulled off the highway and called him again. Logan and a technician drove to where I was and managed to get my car and me back to the dealer. They gave me a loaner and after 2 days determined the problem, fixed it and did not charge me. (even though they could not be completely sure if it was related to previous work or not...they just did the right thing). Thank you Logan and the team at First Texas Honda! Customer for life. read more

WORST. CAR. BUYING. EXPERIENCE. EVER. I have avoided buying a car from this dealership for years because every single interaction I have with them is horrible. My family buys Hondas and only Hondas. Because of a sour experience over 20 years ago we have bought our last three Hondas from our preferred dealership in San Antonio. I have had one rude experience after another. But this last one beats them all. We bought a used car from FTH in October of last year and I am still dealing with this dealership's incompetence. I'm not going to go into all the details, but my advice is to go ANYWHERE but First Texas Honda, or Continental Auto Group. read more

Not a good experience at the service dept this week. Felt like a "Pin cushion" being harrassed with upsale after upsale that wasn't even needed and in fact had been taken care of already in the past month!!?! Ridiculous. Hard to Trust a company that you made the 2nd largest purchase of my life...2nd to my home that doesn't care anything about the customer...only sales, sales and more sales addons. Oh brother. Service advisor never even bothered to introduce himself. After I told him I just wanted a transmission flush and that's what the appointment was for and showed him a piece of paper I had typed up with the estimate and signing it "Full payment"...nothing else necessary today. I get it...I don't mind if they want to check out the vehicle and let me know if anything came to their attention. He immediately went into his sales pitch asking if I wanted an oil change and tire rotation...and I immediately repeated myself...No thank you, just the transmission flush I typed up on the paper I just gave you. Later he called to tell me my vehicle needed an alignment and tire rotation...which was totally bogus because I just had that done within the past 30 days-and obviously they never test drove the vehicle nor measured the alignment stats. Then he told me my battery was leaking acid, which I didn't see any bulges or acid leaks...if there were any, it would take a magnifying glass to see them. I only wonder how they treat folks that didn't purchase their vehicle from them. When I went to pay, I went to the service desk and there were about 6 service advisors talking to each other, and not one would acknowledge my presence so that I could pay. They were to busy making labor day weekend plans. Even when I got out of my vehicle, noone would direct me to the waiting area. Being handicapped adds to the difficulty. God bless them. I pray for their peace, joy and prosperity. Happy Labor Day to all read more

First time comer. I am from Illinois and will be driving back home tomorrow. I only needed to get multi-point check since I had my van inspected 3 weeks prior to leaving. I expected to wait in a long line to talk to a service technician then wait longer for my vehicle to be serviced, that was not the case. Sebastian from Service Dept took my van right away and told me how long it would take to service it. He also pointed out where to find the waiting area and man they did not disappoint...lol He made sure that my van was serviced in a timely fashion and that the vehicle was good to go. He made my morning by explaining things in detail and didn't make me feel pressured to get stuff done on the same day. I thank him for insuring the work preformed was done accurately. Great hire manager. He definitely need a raise. read more

See all

I love Honda products and tried to buy my 3rd Honda today but had an awful experience at First Texas Honda today and giving my first one star ever. We agreed to a price over the phone and they said they could do better if I came in to the dealership. Got to the dealership, waited 45 min to speak with the sales rep, and the price was $1700 more than I was quoted over the phone. Spoke to the manager and he was rude. Complete waste of time and an awful experience!!!!!!! read more

Service guy was horrible. I understand price is what the price is but don't lie and tell me that my car is lights are because the car has every single problem. I had to jump start my battery and all the dashboard lights came on. We just left the lights on. The car is fine and hadn't had the dashboard lights on before we left headlights on all night. But apparently I need a new motor now. I get diagnostic fee, but I don't get the lying. read more

The tech proposed a $1500 for fixing key cylinder which I got done for $300 with a locksmith. The experienced locksmith said they were wanting me to buy a bunch of stuff I did not need. So that is a form of extortion in my mind. Fred is a nice guy and was helpful but the techs seem to be lacking skill or integrity. update they refunded my money read more

They gave me a trade in value for my vehicle and then tried to hide the fact that they took $3,000 off of the amount they agreed to give me when it came to signing documents. The sales person lied and said it was sales tax, but you aren't supposed to be charged sales tax when trading in! Be very careful with the sales manager (I think Tyler) he's an actual liar and so is the Sale Person Aaron Garcia. Not to mention the extra add ons like tint warranty they have on vehicles that they swear they can't take off, they don't mention them until you're ready to sign docs. read more

I'm downgrading my previous review after giving them another try. Check your service invoice really careful before paying to make sure everything is correct. Now they charge for work they did not do. They initially denied it. It took an hour of back-and-forth with them after the fact to get it corrected. On top of that they now add a surcharge if you use your credit card. They want to pay with cash or check. This means you don't have an intermediary to help you with disputes like the excess charge like happened to me. read more

I walked in and nobody helped me for 15 minutes even though I asked someone for a salesman. eventually someone came up to me and I said I wanted to drive a civic. he then told me that I should look into a larger car like the odyssey or a pilot because "your fat a** ain't fitting in a civic, sweetheart" I immediately asked to speak to his manager and he told me if I wanted to speak to him I'd need to walk 40 steps to his office and that didn't seem like it would be possible for me. read more

We brought our 2022 Civic in for a mandatory recall. We booked the appointment on April 1 for May 27, and were promised recall work would be done the same day. Brought the car in the morning of May 27, waited all day, then received a call at 4:30 saying they didn't have the part for recall so car would be kept overnight. Crazy we had booked an appt 8 weeks out, First Texas Honda knew the VIN and recall service needed, but then didn't have the required part for their own recall. To add insult to injury, we needed a spare key and they charged over $400 - $237 for the key, $110 labor to cut the key, $23 "misc charges", and $18 "misc shop charges". Highway robbery for minimal labor plus $40 just tacked on as misc just because they can. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

This is a late update but never realized I didn't update originally. I did reach out to Cody at the time (who replied here with his email) who provided some pictures of various leaks etc that I'd never seen before. I asked for the pictures were from my car and they never replied back. It's been over 3 years now since this experience and I haven't been back and have no regrets. I've also not needed any of the unnecessary repairs they said I needed to pass the state inspection. Save your time and money and have the inspection done elsewhere. The free coffee (if it's still offered) isn't worth the price for the repairs. read more

They have started charging 3% credit card fee. The fee in top of dealership prices for service is annoying.

Awesome quick and friendly staff. Amazing free coffee bar too! They have so much inventory and work well with budget and numbers and are super fair. read more

In 2019 this company sold us an absolute lemon. At the time of purchase when the brakes squealed after departing the store, on a brand new Odyssey, they tightened the brake pads and said,"Don't worry about it, if there are more problems we'll give you a new vehicle". Well numerous problems persisted including a new drive shaft being needed. The brakes never resolved and they did NOT honor their word on giving us a replacement for the lemon. We ended up selling the vehicle for more than we purchased it. And i will continue to leave negative reviews for the rest of my fucking life. Fuck this place. read more

Nina is the absolute best! I purchased a vehicle and she went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect! Chris in the financial department was also very helpful! Definitely recommend purchasing a vehicle here! read more

Over the past 5 years of owning a Honda requiring regular maintenance, I probably will never again do anything at First Texas Honda, and will instead continue services at the Acura of North dealership (which almost always has cheaper prices anyway, at least for oil changes). First Texas Honda just takes advantage of you, particularly if you are a woman. Should you decide to get service there I highly recommend calling ahead for the price and then following up on that price quote in writing. Because their pricing is, shall we say, fluid. On my last visit (9/4/24) even after calling in advance for the price of an oil change and upon arrival receiving a quote for the oil change, somehow at checkout it was $10 more. When I questioned this the check out guy just shrugged his shoulders even after I showed him the WRITTEN SAME DAY QUOTE. The transmission fluid replacement was another $4 more than the same-day written estimate. On top of all of this, there was a mysterious $30 "miscellaneous fee" that was not on the estimated quote. Looking through my past service receipts the "miscellaneous fee" ran $5 to $7 dollars each service, but this time it is $30! Also, my last couple services the 14MM drain washer for the oil change was .95. This time it jumped to $4 and was skipped in the estimate. I understand about inflation, but from .95 in 2023 to $4 in 2024, for a drain washer? In comparison, Acura of North Austin quotes have always been spot on and include any "miscellaneous - i.e. environmental fees". With Acura, the price you are quoted is the price you get. With first Honda, the price you are quoted is false advertisement (and on my last visit cost me and additional $44, with no other services added). That isn't even including the fact that my quoted wait time was 2x what was stated. After 2.5 hours (original quote was 60 to 90 minutes) I gave up on arguing about the price because $44 wasn't worth having to be there another hour while they "called the manager". read more

Took Honda CRV 2024 in for regular maintenance as required by the extended warranty we purchased from First Honda when we bought the car from 1st Tx. Appointment was efficient and thorough, Andy was courteous and professional. However, we were charged $183 for a wheel alignment. We agreed to it because we were afraid our warranty would be voided for future repairs if we did not do it. This upcharging is a common complaint according to reviews. But the thing that will send me to a different dealership is charging 3% for credit cards. Small mom and pop stores can't afford that fee--Big dealerships certainly can and if not, they should tighten their budget, get rid of that nice coffee bar and let us middle class folks who depend on using our cards for points or cash back to get them. read more

Their service writers are incredibly dismissive. I've dealt with many of them and, more than not, they make me feel like my issues with my vehicle are made up or that my expectations are too high. Yes, I'd like my brand new vehicle to not rattle as if I'd had it for 5 years. Speaking of brand new: the salesperson who sold me the car checked in to see how I was "loving it" and I told him I wasn't. I never heard back for any sort of solution. The 3 stars, rather than 1, are for the technicians who have actually given me the time of day and made me feel heard and validated. Does this mean they are always able to fix my issue? But at least they treat me like a human who deserves respect. read more

called on a vehicle that's been on their lot for 2 month. we were very interested in purchasing, but when I tried to negotiate the price all of a sudden the vehicle sold "5 minutes ago". but of course they had other cars at a higher price available. just seemed lik a bait and switch. car is still listed for sale BTW. read more

Edited 10/07/2023 Alex at First Texas Honda took care of terminal repair charges. That's great, but that is not something I should have to have had to fight for. I still have no confidence in the extended warranty First Texas Honda sold me. Mastertech (the warranty company) blamed the terminal damage on me and essentially refused to cover the repair because they just didn't feel like it. That is something I'm going to reflect on long and hard before buying an extended warranty for my next vehicle. read more

I must update my review and commend Frist TX Honda for their responsiveness regarding my review. Their service leaders reached out to me and requested additional details regarding the service interactions my wife and stepdaughter experienced. We did communicate via email and phone. I do stand by what was communicated to me by my family but the service team did provide additional details and I believe we did come to an understanding. Kudos to them for their professionalism and responsiveness to my issue. 5 stars for their customer service! Review for the service center. Overall a good experience. I had an Appt for an oil change but still had to wait for ~about 30 minutes for my service Rep to untangle himself from a customer call. Once we got the paper work completed I was able to settle in access their Wi-Fi and get some work done. There is a gratis coffee and snack bar and they do make a decent specialty coffee. There are cold drink options and some snacks like chips, breakfast bars, and bananas, About an hour later the car was ready. The service Rep reviewed the inspection report and all was AOK. It's rather interesting that with the previous oil change Plus 1 was told that she needed tires and other work. I was told that the tires were good for at least another 10K and the other maintenance was futuristic as well. Same situation with No 1 stepdaughter a simple tire replacement exercise turned into you need $2K worth of maintenance. Do you see the pattern here? read more

I upgraded my pilot to a little newer and the whole experience was fantastic. Nina the sales person was 100% the best experience. Tyler was amazing all the way to the FI guy Joseph. They treated me like family and listened to what I wanted and needed. Would highly recommend first Texas Honda and Nina and your sales person! read more

We have a twenty year old Honda, manual shift. Lately the clutch has been sounding squeaky so we took it into First Texas. Our service advisor was super nice and we got a loaner because they would have to order slave cylinder/ master cylinder. We were looking at next week turn around he said. What are the odds they would have the parts in stock - but they did! So in a couple of hours we were back in the seat of our old Honda. And, they even replaced the disintegrating climate control knobs for free which they had in stock too!! Nice work you guys! BTW the clutch feels nice and tight. read more

First Texas Honda - Honda back home with new clutch. - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

I know this is a service spot, but honestly this spot has been nothing short of amazing in the 3 years I've used them. Easy to make appointments with, accommodating, and helpful. I really have to give praise to this places accommodations in trying to make their customers feel as comfortable during service. I haven't met many places that offer FREE shuttle services via uber/lyft to your home if you wish to wait there instead. On top of that free goodies such as coffee and snacks while you wait. On top of all this along with amazing customer service. This place really knocks it out of the park in making the service days that much more enjoyable. read more

This is a complicated review. I bought an Accord from First Texas Honda back in June. Perfect sales experience. Joe Morales and Julian Rodriguez are great. Unlike Howdy Honda, they did not add a whole bunch of useless dealer added accessories onto the vehicle to mark up the price. I did most of the sales negotiation via email and only came in to sign the paperwork. Easy. The main issue I had was with their finance department. The dude was straight up rude and angry when I wouldn't purchase the additional warranty. He pitched it several times and I was like, "no thank you." I couldn't have been any clearer. Then he got angry and was like "why would you want to pay more for service?" He kept asking that question. It got SUPER uncomfortable. I just kept saying, "no, thank you." I just wanted to get out of there. It was *the* craziest experience I have ever had with regard to sales. The other issue, and it may not have been totally First Texas Honda's fault, was that it took FOREVER for me to get my plates. Like, FOREVER. I had to keep pestering them and finally they were able to pick up the permanent plates up from the DMV. It was nuts. I've never had to wait that long for plates before. And they give you a ton of time on your paper ones. It was a mess. To be fair to them, any time they needed more information, they overnighted whatever they wanted me to sign since I live in San Antonio, including the plates. And the title clerk and receptionist were all super friendly and customer service oriented. I would 100% buy a car from them again--Joe and Julian both helped me out--they are top notch salesmen. Both very responsive to email inquiries. But I would also 100% walk out the door if I had to go to the same finance manager no matter what deal was on the table. read more

Scum of the earth. Avoid this dealership at all costs. I have reluctantly bought 2 cars from First Texas Honda in the past year because they were the only ones who had what I wanted in certified pre-owned. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE DEALER DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO SCREW ME with unnecessary add ons and crap. (Extended battery, lifetime key, and the most scum-tastic add on of all, LoJack.) The next time a dealer mentions LoJack to me I'm walking right out the door. Everyone I dealt with was very incredibly smug and snarky -- from sales on down to the finance department. I won't be buying a third car from them. Actually they've turned me off from Honda in general. Disgraceful in all ways. read more

Worst dealership and service that you could ever imagine. I went in to fix my tire which they charged way more than it should. Then they crashed my car in their car wash and I didn't receive a rental car for over 10 days after with zero communication. It took me almost a month to get my car back from them. I requested a refund and then I get texted that I am no longer welcome back there after their manager told me he was going to refund me. Never ever go to them as this is literally criminal activity going on. Horrible people. I want to leave a zero star but the one star is as low as I can put it. So responding to Jason (service manager) ridiculous message down below. This is a complete lie. They told me my cars tire would be repaired in 2 days and I said if that is the case I don't need a rental car and I would come back when completed. The tire took a week to complete and they knew this would take longer than 2 days and never reached out letting me know this. Then after a week when the tire was completed they crash my car in their car wash. So 10 days later I get in touch with them to get a rental car. They then would give me zero communication throughout the process and I would end up not receiving my car for an entire month. So for inconvenience beyond belief and proper business ethics of the customer I should be given a refund for a tire that I originally brought my car in for but again YOUR team crashes my car and then takes your sweet time getting it back to me. And as far as you guys asking me not to return is hysterical. Do you think in a million years I would return to your god forsaken dealership? I wouldn't recommend you to my worst of enemies. So this is the real story so everyone has clarity and please save yourselves and never go to this dealership. They will damage your car and then ask YOU to not return like it's your fault. And want to add one last detail that I spoke to "Jason" the manager last night which I was upset with because of this entire ridiculous process but he AGREED that I should receive a refund. Called me back last night confirming that he will help me get this refund resolved today and then sends a text this morning that I am not getting a refund and will not be welcomed back. He should be fired and not allowed ever in leadership position. read more

I took my Honda Civic into First Texas Honda because I was having issues with the AC. Dropping off and picking up my rental was seamless. Everyone was very nice and attentive. I received a call two days later to pick up my Civic ($2k bill which was unfortunate but figured as much). Took my car home and everything seemed fine. I was driving later that evening and I heard a strange noise from underneath my car. Turns out, the pan (not sure the same) was not properly screwed back in. Of course I'm mad since I just spent a lot of money there and now I'd have to go back in the AM. I went back to first Honda in the AM - employees weren't as friendly - arguing with me about my car/told me to wait 2 hours and come back. Long story short, they figured it out and got my car back in 30 mins. Give someone else your business. read more

Terrible service. Sold me a "certified" used car that started having problems 3 days later. They said it wouldn't be covered because I didn't buy the warranty. Bunch of scammers! Should have bought a Camry instead of the Honda. Much nicer and more reliable. Also nobody cleans there it was so filthy and dusty. read more
