    Auto Tek's stellar customer reviews did not disappoint! They diagnosed and repaired a bad A/C…read morecompressor for an Audi Q5. They credited the diagnosis fee to the service performed which is nice. They offer a decent warranty on their work. They are also flexible to offer parts options to help lower the total cost of repair. They say all of their techs have senior experience, and they were able to get my car in quickly- some other garages have wait times of up to a week. I checked their hourly rates, they are in line with other garages I have used in the past. They seem to have a very smooth and efficient system set up, they handle a lot of cars with the large garage space they have, and they do a good job communicating and providing updates. Convenient location for South Austin customers. They even sent me a follow up message after the repair- that was a first for me! I would recommend this garage for service and repair work.

Hopefully you find a good quality mechanic with fair prices, transparent with their findings, and can work in a timely manner. Auto Tek checks all those boxes. We took my son's 2012 Honda Civic for a maintenance visit. They found several things that needed attention (battery, brakes, bearings, etc.) Twenty two year olds can be responsible, but they don't always recognize when there's a weird noise, or the alignment is off. We got 2 pages of repairs done and it was a little under 3K. Yep, it's a lot, but still less than buying a new car and he will get a couple more years out of this car.

    In regard to your response Frank I'll expose again why no one should use you. To start I used you…read moreafter the break issue we resolved to give you a shot. I bring up that brake issue because it eventually became a pattern of dropping the ball, and repeated issues 1. My car had to be towed because basic logic well known issue for GMC/Chevy 6.2 liter V8 engines have a lifter issue which requires engine replacement. The car wasn't in bad shape as you say. Cadillac dealership said I should have it towed due to the knocking sound. My car has always been kept immaculate. Yes you quoted a fair price, it was Lambs in Lakeway that was ridiculous and most people know they are. The engine took long because they sent the wrong engine and in regards to my finances it wasn't I couldn't pay . I was at the mercy of you and I was nothing but polite every single interaction with you. Your dropped the ball so many times and you actually asked me for advance payment at one point because you needed to pay your taxes . I didn't want to pay you UPFRONT Frank. You fix then pay, that's most every way it's done . You didn't have the money to cover costs which is a concern regarding running a business. I had also just spent money on another car repair and boat repairs . The car sat as I decided what I wanted to do. As far as stating you could have charged me storage you never once mentioned that and I have every phone call that proves that. Pretty shady of you to pull that out on your reply here. Again not on single time did you ever mention storage fees. So please don't act as if it was some favor you did. The car went in for an engine replacement. As you confirmed the day you put the engine in to test drive you call me telling me I need steering column replacement. Yes I have you on recording Frank stating that indeed the lift and big tires were the culprit. The steering was completely fine and it had not been driven once per you as we waited for the engine issue and replacement to be resolved. You now understand why I recorded you. You can't remember what you told me. I didn't struggle to pay you. I had a boat in repair and another car a Range Rover in repair. I communicated to you very professionally. By the way let's remember you had me pay up front on everything. It was the engine that was ordered that was delayed. 2. Regarding the transmission line. Let the public see this post. I pick up my car from Frank and I make it about a quarter to half a mile or so down road and what becomes the problem is the transmission line. Frank I have that call to you recorded as well and your claim that I accelerated or false and blew the line is total BS. It had nothing to do with big tires. I'm saving all my facts, statements from GM certified techs , and video of your guy coming over to "fix" it. Within a day or 2 it went out again and I made you tow it for free. It was your guy that you sent and had him do what he did and sent me on my way and that all was fine only to have it sent back to you. By the way on our recorded call you tried to lead me to believe with certainty it was one thing when in fact you were wrong and called me with another reason. Again grateful I recorded both those conversations. The reputable mechanics I discussed were my brothers out of Houston. My brother owns a professional garage and luxury and collector car biz for 22 years. The other reputable people was a connection I had out of A Cadillac dealer in Dallas. I mentioned this to you and so logically my car stayed locally with you. 3. The whole issue about you spending 200 for the detail I will just say to anyone reading this look at the pics of my Escalade left in his care. Never should have happened Frank. By the way I took a time stamp video of my car before it went back to you. I didn't spill the oil. That's a regular engine oil. Why would I need engine oil to leave in my backseat after you just repaired and did an engine replacement. Again shady of you to blame that on me. And by the way I had to waste 3 hours of my work day sitting there waiting on a detail. Completely unprofessional. 4. I asked you you fix my windshield wiper motor while you had it. You never did. I kept asking you very time you had the car and I have your texts alone that show you forgot several times. same thing Frank regarding the transmission thermostat. I asked you several times, you came out to fix my running board and forgot to get the transmission thermostat and windshield motor. Again pretty crazy you fixed my transmission yet our texts show you dropping the ball on the thermostat. I have lost count on the amount of texts I have that show you never show up on time. I'm done with my response. I'll update this post after claims court.

    My first experience was OK. They replaced a sheared off stud on one tire…read more That experience was why l went to CB when my AC was blowing hot on Thursday. They said they needed to keep the car overnight and it should be fixed Friday. However Friday afternoon around 4:30 they said they couldn't get the part until Monday morning between 8-9am. I said l cannot be without a car all weekend please come get me. I also said l have to work Monday can you be done by 12 or 12:30? He said yes. At about 8:00 Monday they texted to say the part was there and to be there by 9. I arrived about 8:45. Then he said it would be 2:00-2:30 before it would be ready. I said that won't work for me, I have to be at work by 1:00 and you told me Friday that it would be finished around noon. I cannot be 2 to 2.5 hours late to work. He said he would do what he could but it would be 2:00. I was not happy and said so. I said please make it 1:00, l don't want to get fired. I don't appreciate being lied to Friday. Had l known he was going to bait and switch, I would have had the work done at my regular shop. They were supposed to fix AC and replace a leaky gasket. He texted me at 12:24 to say the AC was fixed. I said please pick me up so l can go to work. He said no it won't be ready until 2:30, as they need to finish putting it together and test drive it. I said then why tell me the work is complete? I need my car ASAP. He was noncommital. Finally at 2 they texted me to say its ready and driver was on the way to get me. I paid $2400 for new compressor and freon flush and refill. He said they didn't do the gasket replacement to get it done faster. So all work requested was not done and they had my car almost 3 days. After i left I looked for my wheel lock, and they had not put it back in my car. So l had to go back and ask for it. They said they couldn't find it and would call the technician who worked on the car. Eventually Martin found it. He was very helpful. Nathan the shuttle driver was also helpful. Sadly I will not be back because of the poor communication of the guy with dark curly hair. I'm being generous calling his lies poor communication. Apparently having 2 bibles in your waiting rooom doesn't mean you won't lie to customers. I was disappointed, as l was planning to have them do more work on my car. My regular shop doesn't offer shuttle service and is further away. Needless to say l will be going back to the old shop that doesn't lie. Buyer Beware of Christian Brothers Auto repair. In addition they gave me a list of suggested repairs that was about $4500. Bear in mind the majority of items had been done recently and were visible on CarFax. One example was a $120 oil change that wasn't due for another 3300 miles. I wouldn't trust these people to be honest about your vehicles service needs.

However, my vehicle was finally taken into the garage four hours later for inspection. Why, then, were the appointment slots available in the first place? I asked the front desk, and he said it would take an hour to complete. That's a lie. If you don't have any plans on that day, but don't mind that. Then this is a good place for you, maybe it takes 48 hours to just your car before telling you the results. Awful service.

    My husband and I have been customers of Juke with our two vehicles for typical maintenance and…read morethey've always been reliable, so when my brakes suddenly went out on my Jeep, I went to Juke for help. It was easy to make the appointment to have the Jeep towed in and they got back to me by the end of the day with the diagnostic. My brake line had blown out and they were going to replace it. The next day they called to tell me there were no brake lines available for my Jeep anywhere with MOPAR, or any other manufacturer. People in my situation are all waiting months for these things on back order. Most shops would have probably told me to come tow this Jeep out of their way until a brake line was available. Not Juke! They thought outside the box and let me know a hydraulic shop they work with could build the part for me, and it would only be $80 more! Perfect! Even though they had to run around town with these brake lines, and rely on another shop to hunt down parts and fabricate custom brake lines for me, they had my Jeep back to me after just 6 business days! The other great thing is Miguel kept me updated the whole time and I never had to worry about if my vehicle was being taken care of. The people at Juke actually care about their customers and I recommend them to everyone I know.

BEST part was I had a huge dent in the front fender that I figured I'd pay to fix later this year yet upon pick up the dent was gone!? (Matt?) worked on my car and went completely out of his way to fix the dent. Total cloud 9 jaw drop! Sarah, Forrest, the gentlemen with fun colored hair... everyone is helpful and the biz is so well structured and efficient. No one likes spending on a broken down car but somehow I always walk out of here feeling like my car should break down again just so I can come back lol
