Engine light on, need it cleared now that inspection can't have a light on the dash active. Booked it in, they looked at everything, tracked the code, found the sensor itself was bad and replaced it. Very Professional. Another Sensor went on my 8 year old vehicle. Same thing, bad sensor, again good timely work. Another dash check engine, seems the sensors break before the car does. They could have charged me for a sensor but this is why the review has been written. They checked the codes, checked everything out, smoked the line and found it was not a sensor this time. Charged for a worn out gas cap. Honesty goes a long way. read more

I had my front valence bumper start dragging on one side. I tried to go to another mechanic first, but they wouldn't touch it (said it was a body shop issue and turned me away). Luckily, Kastis was able to do it in a timely manner and pretty affordable! I received great service the whole time with regular and transparent updates from John! I highly recommend them! read more

I have asked many times for a price quote and gotten nothing back. I've also been off and on for ten years or so and at times service has been great and at other times I've thought "Why am I paying this much for this service??" This shop is known for doing honest work - that's great! There are also other shops known for doing honest work without such a hefty price tag, & who will treat you like they actually appreciate/want your (return) business. As for me and my house, we're going to try some of the other shops out there that are within a mile or two of Kastis and see how we fare. read more

John and the team are great, trustworthy and hard workers. I highly recommend them and am grateful for their work.

I was gonna give up on my 2006 Sequoia because of brake failures again! Well a friend told me to try this place because they have been working on his cars for years and it's been nothing but positive and honest service. He was right! John the manager was wonderful! He showed me all the things that were wrong in my vehicle and showed me what I needed. Other places told me to go home and billed me later but didn't fix it correctly. I now have a new auto shop that I can trust. As a female who doesn't know much about fixing a whole brake system I learned a lot. He broke down the price and was completely upfront with the parts I needed as well. I felt confident that his team was going to do it right. Thank you John and your team for doing an amazing job and fixing it in a timely manner as well. I will be definitely refer all my family & friends to you! Go see him and his team! You can always get an estimate and if you don't like it just walk away you have nothing to lose. read more

Move to the area in 2017, leaving behind our family mechanic of almost 20 years. Like many industries, it can be hard sometimes to find honest, hardworking and fair combined with quality and care. Kastis was a stroke of luck... I needed an overall diagnostic and was prepared for the usual early or unnecessary recommendations or worse; we've found some issues... BUT, to my pleasant surprise, Kastis pulled me in and showed me what they were looking at and why. Didn't push a thing. Didn't try to gouge. Nothing. Kastis did exactly what I asked and were very clear about everything. THEY DON'T CHARGE ANY EXTRA FEES FOR STATE INSPECTION!!! Hope this helps those out there in need. Kastis is a keeper. As long as we are here in San Antonio, Kastis will care for my car! Thanks you Kastis Automotive! The Gangwer Family read more

I blew out both passenger tires over the weekend and had them replaced. Then a rattle started in the back part of passenger's side. I called and they got me right in and fixed me up and no time. We have been coming here for over 20 years the only automotive place I'll take my cars read more

0/10 would recommend this establishment. Spoke to John and was told my car could get looked at same day, dropped it off & 8:30 to give them plenty of time to diagnose it. Around 2PM I called for an update & Mike the owner said it had not been looked at and insisted I picked it up since I sounded like I was in a rush. In reality I'm a working mom who needed to make plans. Get a rental etc. very disrespectful. Even called my husband back to go off on him & hang up on him mid sentence. VERY glad my car was not serviced by this place. read more

Awful service and trashy in general. The employees were incompetent and hostile. It's a cheap trash if that's what you want.

Always helpful in their explanations and recommendations for the best repair options. I never come away thinking some unnecessary work or additional cost was added on. read more

Recently had my brakes done and valve cover gasket repaired by Kastis. There was an issue with a defective part that I had to take the vehicle back a couple days later but they accommodated me quickly and without an hassle. Price was very reasonable considering the work done. I'll be using them in the future read more

I've used these guys three time total, once for an O2 sensor and twice for unrelated horn issues. They were up front with me all three times and stuck to their time frame, twice finishing the job earlier than anticipated. Prices seemed fair to me. I will definitely continue to use them as needed. read more

I needed a battery replaced in a Dodge Journey but needed a shop that had a lift because the battery is located in the wheel well. Happen to think of Kastis Auto and I'm glad I did. It was hard to find a place nearby that could do it within a reasonable time so I was thrilled that they immediately quote me a price and could start right away. Went across the street for some tacos and soon my car was done. Great experience. Everyone was friendly and personable. read more

So saw the great ratings and decided to come for a tune-up and inspection. Could not tell me how long it would be so I left Suv with them at about 9am. Called 3 times to check on status and nothing started yet. By 3pm came in to check status. Said they were about to do state inspection but could not do the tune up. They never mentioned this to me during my calls nor did they call to inform me they lacked the capability to do a tune up. Said it would take me a week to get it done somewhere else. Challenge accepted. Won't be coming back. read more

I ended up not leaving my car cause a family member was able to help me in a faster turn around time for a tune up, but John DeKing was extremely helpful and honest about what was wrong and the price it would cost for repairs. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or like he was selling me on things I didn't need done. Although I didn't end up getting my repairs done at Kastis, the experience and professionalism was absolutely a 10/10. Give that man several raises and plenty of PTO for an extremely job well done. read more

I absolutely love this place. Super clean and everyone in there is extremely professional. The owner Mike is truly one of a kind. He knows his stuff. If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Look no further this is a place you want to get your car worked on. Thanks everyone at Kastis Automotive. read more

This place is great. The staff is friendly, the owners are nice and personable, I'd recommend them to anyone. They always come off as honest folks, and I appreciate that when it comes to trusting someone with something as important and personal as my vehicles. I've got two neighbors that get their vehicles serviced there when needed, and one of them is an older fellow, someone that could easily be taken advantage of by an unscrupulous establishment - he took his truck in there one day because he thought he might have a bad alternator, turns out it was just a slow drain from a light that didn't switch off. They could've easily scammed him for a new alternator and the labor, but these seem to be real honest folks right here. I hope to not have to see them other than the three times a year we need our vehicle inspections done, or when a can of BG 44K is needed, but it's nice to know a good local shop for when stuff happens. Hats off to a great business! read more

They have been our family mechanics for decades now. They're honest, flexible and fast.

Plainly put, I won't take my cars anywhere else. Mike, Robert, Kris, and Paula have taken care of our family vehicles for the last 6 years. We've referred others there and met many more who are longtime customers and to a person they only trust Kastis for their auto care. I tell people about my first experience there... I took a newer vehicle there and after two guys worked on it for two days Mike called and said they couldn't fix the issue and I'd need to take it to the dealer. When I asked him how much I owed he said, "Nothing. I can't charge you for something I didn't fix. " I'm sold. They're great people and great mechanics. read more

I came in for a warning light on in my car and the gentleman who helped me was prompt, knowledgeable and helped fix the problem immediately!

This place does customer service right. In a world where automotive places will lie and swindle to get every penny out of you, this place doesn't pull that crap and is fairly priced. I've had an oil change and transmission fluid changed and both experiences were good. Also consults for two other things were transparent, upfront about cost and procedure, even offering money saving advice that involved them getting paid less. read more

My family has been taking our cars to Mike and his crew for years. They are, without a doubt, the definition of customer service. They are always fair and care about their customers. As a women who knows zero about cars, it's easy to feel like I'm being taken advantage of at places like Auto Zone or Discount Tire, but Mike and the rest of the guys at Kastis always take the time to show and tell me exactly what is wrong with my car and how they're going to fix it. I highly recommend Kastis for all things auto! read more

Absolutely the best service anywhere. Always fairly priced and the work was done properly. They even showed me the faulty parts. I can't say enough about how good these guys are and highly recommend them to anyone in need of automotive care read more

Love this place! First time here was when I moved a year ago for vehicle inspection. They are so nice friendly and competent!!! I have been coming back for oil changes and now for some maintenance on my car. They are quick and explain everything so well! Even when I don't know how quite to explain the issue, they figure it out and explain it to me well! If you need work done come here! read more

Good prices and quality, honest work. I will definitely be back! I took my car for an oil change and it was a very comfortable atmosphere. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Had an issue with my vehicle; water pump was bad. Robert had me back on the road within 24 hours. Great service, fair pricing. Gave me a written estimate and stuck to it. read more
