Did a vehicle inspection and was in and out super quick. Perfect service. Everyone else had 1.5 hour wait. These guys were ready to go. Can't comment on the rest of their business. read more

I was charged almost $200 for a diagnostic on my brakes. They took all day to look at my truck and when they finally got to it only removed one tire. They did not look at the passenger side or rear brakes at all before quoting me over $2400 to replace both front brakes. They lied to me, telling me that the rotors and calipers on both sides needed to be replaced due to the pads wearing down enough to damage the rotors. The passenger side had almost new pads as well as a perfect rotor. THEY DID NOT EVEN TAKE OFF THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE TO LOOK AT THE BRAKES. read more

Hackney auto is the most well run shop I've come across. Great value, work gets done quickly and the staff is always friendly.

Hackney is possibly the best in town. I have two Toyota's, a 2004 V8 4runner and 2015 Prius and I'm a picky kinda customer. I don't expect perfection but I do expect good service, quality work and fair prices. Hackney Auto meets my needs and then some. Pro Tips - be sure to tell your mechanic everything about your vehicle. Don't hold it back if you worked on it yourself and messed it up. They'll find out either way but if you tell them upfront you're going to save them time and you're going to save yourself money potentially. Also, for older vehicles in particular don't expect everything to be perfect. My 4runner has nearly 200,000 miles on it and is still running strong but it definitely is showing signs of age. What I like about working with Hackney is that I feel I have a shop that I can work with long-term. We go over all the things I need to be done to the vehicle and anything I can do on my own I will but any of the big jobs a save for them. Overall my experience in Hackney has been fantastic and I sincerely appreciate their consistent quality even during the pandemic. read more

Hackney Auto Truck & Fleet Service - 2004 V8 4runner - Tires Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

The people here are nice but they either dont know what they're doing or like to scam people. I had an engine problem and they kept my car for two whole weeks and said they fixed a bunch of random small things but ultimately said they had no idea what specifically was causing my engine problem. They said one of the things they did could possibly have fixed it but they weren't sure? Thousands of dollars later, the issue is still there. Not worth it since they didn't actually fix the problem after having my car for two weeks. Waste of money and time. read more

Another service provider recommended this place to me but I cannot recommend them to anyone. They are total jerks and not good at what they do either. I came in with my RV and had some issues that I had already gotten advice about from a mechanic friend about. I was telling them this and they said, "well maybe you should take it to your mechanic friend then" Seriously? Who says that to a customer? Total jerks. They also said that they don't install customer provided parts, not because they could guarantee them or warranty them, but because "parts sales cover the overhead"--ok, selling your customers parts at jacked up prices covers the overhead. $130 a labor hour on RV service when they don't even have a lift won't cover overhead. Ok. And they only reason I brought my own parts was because they are hard to source--if I could be a parts Pollyanna and not worry about them, that would be great. And that seems like the ideal customers for these guys. So they were only able to do one of the 4 things I needed and that was replace the ignition switch, which they did. But they didn't put the steering wheel back on right so it is no longer sitting straight when the wheels are straight, it's cocked to the right about 10 degrees. And it's making a clicking noise when I turn. And the whole steering column feels looser like they didn't put it back together right. AND, they said it didn't fix the instrument panel but it totally did fix it--but since this was my hypothesis, obviously, it couldn't be right, right? Anyway, I went to pick it up and paid and asked when it was and they had put in the overflow parking -- you know when you go to a nice mechanic and they pull your vehicle around for you? Yeah, this is not that place. read more

Great customer service and repair service was good. Recommend this place. Thank you Tommy!

This place is a joke. They gave me a faulty auto part. After I got my car back it started making extremely weird noises which I had never heard before. I took the car back to Hackney, and Tommy (the owner/manager) stated that the sound was completely normal and that is what you get when you purchase an 'after market' product. BS. $1000 dollars later, my car has failed me twice. This place is unreliable and Tommy is extremely rude and dishonest. I will never go back here again. read more

They quoted me $1,086.00 and charged me LESS! How often does that happen with auto repair? That alone earned my repeat customer badge. But to boot, they were fast, friendly and were able to do my safety check as well (thought I would be making multiple auto adventures.) they called and checked in before they started repairs and everything went as planned. Read that last sentence again: everything went as planned. At an auto repair shop. (Can you tell I've had some bad experiences with other shops?) read more

I've been taking all of my cars and my motorhome to Hackney for service since 2009. They have always done a great job, been fair in their pricing, and have gone above and beyond to give me great service. They also guarantee their work, so the one time they had to redo something because a part they had installed failed it didn't cost me a dime even though it wasn't their fault that the part was faulty. I also really appreciate that they have been stringent about requiring everyone who enters their premises to mask during this pandemic so I have been able to feel safe waiting for my vehicle on simple service jobs. I have recommended them to many people over the years, all of whom have thanked me for helping them find an honest mechanic. read more

Went in for a simple door handle repair and left with a window that didn't operate. Apparently they removed the whole door panel to fix the door handle which is fine but when I reported the window issue they said they would charge me if it was something they didn't cause. I didn't understand that logic because the window worked just fine before I took my car in and I shouldn't be responsible for a damage that wasn't there before. Never brought my car back and still very upset about the situation. read more

I took my vehicle to Hackneys the first time on a recommendation. Next couple times because I'm a satisfied customer. I even waited to give them a good review, just to be sure. With each repair, I was told what was needed, and what it would cost. And each time the repair was done correctly for the price I was quoted. Simply Old School quality service. Perfect for me. read more

Groupon deal brought me here $40 for one year maintenance. Not bad. But there are some additional charges (labor, taxes, materials). I ended up having to pay $40 at the shop for upgraded synthetic oil change and an air filter. The shop is behind the skate warehouse. The mechanics here are extremely nice and helpful! They would not pressure you to buy things you do not need and give you very honest suggestions. Overall, reasonable prices, great services and they take appointments! read more

I've taken several vehicles including work and personal vehicles and Hackney Auto has done excellent work! Their service is quick, honest and affordable. The service advisors are very nice and professional and always greet you with a smile. I will be bringing my vehicles back for more work in the future. read more

I have been a customer twice this month, and I can't imagine taking my car anywhere else for repairs. My dad has been using them for several years, but I'm a new customer. I have mainly worked with Austin, who takes the time to explain what is happening for this girl who knows nothing about cars. Everyone is friendly here. And the shop dog, Penny, loves belly rubs, so make sure you give her a few. read more

I would definitely recommend this place. My husband and I brought our two cars there for routine maintenance. The staff were all friendly and professional. They were accurate in estimating the wait time. They performed the services requested, and there were no big surprises of getting hit up for big, unnecessary extras. The prices were also reasonable. As a bonus, this auto mechanic shop had a female friendly vibe. The mechanic turned his screen around and explained each charge to me without a bunch of confusing jargon. I will definitely use this shop the next time I need to bring my car in for service. read more

Very happy with Hackney... After talking to 8 mechanics in town, and comparison shopping (since I just moved here and am looking for our regular mechanic), I've decided on this one. They did a job another well known place in town quoted me $700 for well under this price.... $200 altogether. Thank you Hackney for not capitalizing on our ignorance of car knowledge! read more

Simply the best! I had a tire pressure alert on my rear passenger tire. I checked the pressure and it was fine. I took my car to Hackney to replace what I thought was a faulty tire pressure sensor. They found out that the last time my tires were rotated (at another garage), they didn't reprogram the TPMS sensors. They reprogrammed the sensors, topped off the tire and sent me on my way with No Charge! Best service ever and super trustworthy. read more

Hackney Auto Truck & Fleet Service - Wait in style! :-) - Tires Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been to these guys three times now, once for my girlfriend's car and twice for my 2006 Suzuki. They were thorough and straightforward. My vehicle has had some complex issues that even a seasoned mechanic would miss. I've taken her to a few places to try to get some consensus. Where the team at Hackney could have done a quick diagnostic they kept my car longer and looked at it more in-depth. Thank you especially to Bill for his kindness and sense of humor. I highly recommend working with him and the crew at Hackney. read more

I happened to find Hackney after AAA recommended them while towing my car. I'm so happy to find them, I've taken my car back for additional work that I've been putting off. Super nice people there and I have paid less for the repairs than I expected on both visits. The guy I worked with the most was Austin, but everyone was professional and friendly. read more

I would have never gone here had I not gotten a group of coupons from this place, but now I am glad I did. I went here for basic maintenance: oil change, radiator flush, tire rotation, windshield wipers, etc. The work was done quickly and the service staff were extremely friendly. I am not a fan of mechanics because I feel like they are much like lawyers who are out to hustle people with less knowledge than them but Hackney Automotive seemed like a good group. I would definitely consider using these guys again for any of my vehicle issues. read more

Really disappointed in a woman named Linda. Way too much attitude and wouldn't just simple have fixed what I asked for. Wanted me to do a ton of add on services and wouldn't complete just one service for us. I will never ever ever go here again and will do my best to prevent people from going. The sense of entitlement was something I would expect from a teenager. read more

This is a late review as I got my work done like 4-5 months ago, but I need to go back for some maintenance work which reminded me. Really good customer service. I was there for quite a while (my car was in a bad state) and I had no way to go anywhere else so I was stuck there, but they took care of me. My car runs so much better since I've been there. I tend to let things build up and usually it's 600+ for repairs when I go to chain shops, but I felt they were honest and the pricing was great! I have a coupon deal with them so that helps. They also did not push anything extra on me. They gave me a sheet of things to look into for the future and that was it. Great place! read more

I needed a valve replacement after I got a flat tire they didn't have the valve but they took excellent care of me they gave me a temporary valve so I could take it to a dealership and they were very kind and extremely helpful I was very pleased read more

Hackney Auto Truck & Fleet Service - Tires Near Me - Austin, Texas

They are great! I have been taking my car here for about 2 or 3 years now. I first went in after purchasing a VIP card from a door to door solicitor and I was so happy with their friendly and quality service that I've kept going back for all of my oil changes and maintenance. They are family operated and that is very important to me. I remember one of the girls telling me once "I'll have my brother call you back with a quote." and that personal touch goes a long way. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Also, as a young woman, I often feel mechanics at other places can try to take advantage of that and talk me into things I don't need - I never feel that way here! They are always very genuine, honest, and helpful about informing me about exactly what my car needs and when. Thank you Hackney, for making my feel comfortable and confident that my car is in good hands! read more

Have taken my car here a few times, as has my husband. Honest and reliable work that gets done quickly

I took my 1993 RV there to fix my exhaust manifold leak and they actually made it worse! I had a persistent leak on the right manifold. It took over a week to resurface the manifold head and extract the broken bolts and put in some new locking bolts. They only put in 3 or 4 locking bolts and assured me that the existing bolts would hold. when I drove away, the engine sounded great. But a few weeks later, I set out on a road-trip to California. When I was driving through Colorado, I started to hear that classic exhaust leak that I am so familiar with. So I pulled into a shop and had them check it out. Yep, I had a manifold leak alright! The bolts on the right manifold had come loose. Also, the bolts on the left side had come loose too! I had never had a problem with the left manifold but now I do!! Well, at least I broke down in a nice city (Colorado Springs). The shop in Colorado showed me that the locking bolts they had put in were too short. I'm very very disapointed with Hackney. They are ASE certified. But when it comes to exhaust work, they dont know what they are doing. This new shop in Colorado just finished fixing the exhast. It sounds great now and I will leave them a review after I've driven for several hundred miles. read more

My local small business has been w Hackney for a few years now and we could not be more satisfied. Linda and Mark run a great business and I can tell by their employees good attitudes each time I come in. I trust Hackney and that is the biggest thing for me and my small business. They really are a family over there- great job guys! read more

DON'T TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!! I recently took my car to Hackney. They informed me that my thermostat was messed up and I needed to have them fix it. After fixing it, I noticed my air conditioner was no longer working properly. However, I was leaving on vacation and couldn't make it back in right away. I called them to let them know and told them I would bring it in when I returned. I returned from my vacation and took it in and they looked everything over and told me I had a problem with my blower and I should replace it for $228. They refused to take any ownership of the problem, though I swore it was perfect when I took it to them. They were dishonest. Obviously they messed my car up and then chose to not make it right by fixing their mistake. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN! HORRIBLE!!!! read more

Incredibly kind and honest employees! Drove all the way to my car and helped me figure out the problem with my gears, even gave me a tool so I would be able to drive the car until I could get it fixed, and told me I still had warranty so didn't charge me a cent. Thank you so much!! read more

Always feel like I can trust Hackney. The owner is here, prices are reasonable (and you can check their website for coupons), they're open on Saturday - and they're right in my neighborhood. Much better personal service than the chains. read more

This review is long over due. This place has excellent service. They are TRUSTWORTHY and get the job done right without breaking the bank. In one instance, a part was delivered late to their shop, and they stayed late on a Friday just to get the car back to me in time for the weekend. I would go out of my way to recommend this shop to anyone in Austin. read more

Ignored all the obvious signs of the problem and insisted on replacing parts just for their benefit, not mine. I don't trust them with any automotive problem. Diagnostics is not their strong suite. read more

After getting the diagnostic that my 2002 Honda CRV needed a solenoid valve replacement from another repair shop, I began to call around for price quotes. Not only did Hackney call me back promptly but gave me all the information I needed about my car and had a friendly attitude about it. I made an appointment (thank goodness they take appointments), took my car in, and received a call a few hours later that my car would be ready the same day. I paid half the price of any other mechanic in the area and had the pleasure of being spoken to with friendliness and as an equal. Will definitely return here for all of my future car problems! read more

I took my car into Hackney for the first time this weekend and I am very satisfied with their service. Every staff member I came across was kind and seemed happy to give me great customer service. Linda was a gem and I am going to be bringing my other vehicle back for routine services! The service was fast and they left my car in great condition. I know whenever my personal vehicles need anything, I can trust that it's in good hands with Hackney! read more

What a lucky find! Totally trustworthy, clean facilities, prompt service and great coffee. Anyone looking for great mechanics in South Austin...you have found it. read more

I have taken my wife's SUV here several times over the last few years and have always been happy with quality, service, and price. Recently, my jeep wrangler needed some a/c work that was beyond my amateur skill. While it was there, I had them take care of some routine stuff that I had just been putting off for too long. They were able to troubleshoot the a/c stuff quickly, and do all of the other stuff in a reasonable amount of time. The estimate they gave had parts prices that were reasonable and similar to what I have seen in jeep/off-road catalogues. The labor was less than the cost of the parts to boot (you always hear 'labor is where they get you,' but this was not the case here). The best part of all is they have a service technician that owns a jeep. Most everyone knows that Jeep has a fanatical, cult-like following, and most jeep owners are very particular. Leaving my jeep with a fellow jeep owner put my mind at ease. It's kind of like leaving your kids with the grandparents; you know it's not their first rodeo! Keep supporting Austin's locally-owned businesses, and forget about the corporate monsters that claim they'll save you money. This place actually will. read more

They do you (and your truck) right. Great people, they say what they mean, and do what they say.

We've been taking our vehicles to Hackney for years now and have always had the best experiences. They really take care of their customers and have the highest integrity. They'll clearly explain what repairs need to be done now and what can wait (or will need to be done in the future). We recommend their shop to all of our friends. Best auto repair shop we've ever found by far! read more

Brandon and staff take great care of their customers. They don't play games here as some auto shops do and provide fair estimates while explaining what's NEEDS to be done NOW and what you can wait on in the future if money is tight. They have earned my families trust and business even though they are not nearly the closest auto shop to all of us. A+ service, A+ staff, A+ prices. read more
