I needed an oil change urgently before going out of town and it was a Sunday, so I was pretty…read morestressed trying to find a place that was open. I called and spoke with John, who was incredibly helpful and confirmed they were open on Sundays. I was pleasantly surprised. I arrived about 30 minutes before closing (they close at 5 PM on Sundays), and they still took me in without hesitation. The team was very careful while working on my Mercedes and made sure everything was done correctly. I was able to watch through the window while they worked, and they took their time to make sure everything was done right and that no mistakes were made. They even checked extra things like my tires, which I really appreciated. After the service, my car ran like a top on my trip out of town. That gave me a lot of confidence. The prices are very reasonable, and they even had a $7 coupon available. Overall, I feel comfortable trusting them with my vehicle and wanted others to know about the good service I received. Thank you to John and the team for helping me out when I really needed it.

I consented to an oil change and asked the rep (nonmechanic) what the other terminology meant.... I left to get a second opinion. I AM SO HAPPY I WENT TO JUKES! They saved me probably $2,000, provided me education about the codes as how they related to my vehicle and provided future recommendations as how to keep my car in the best condition. It was so quick, no hard sells, and was a friendly environment. They will be my first opinion from now on!

I appreciate the HONEST work and friendly staff. I HIGHLY recommend this shop. Thank you. And thank the Lord for leading me to this shop. 5 Stars from me.

They always get the job done right and at a fair price. The service is absolutely exceptional. They stick to their quote and won't overcharge you for unnecessary work or work you don't want done. They also keep you updated on when your car will be finished and are just really kind in general. As a younger lady, it's really refreshing to have found a shop that always has friendly staff and I genuinely trust. Can't recommend this place more. It's worth the drive from austin for sure.

I was already not going to patron them again, and then I got in my car and found this bit of propaganda. Leaving trash in my car is rude, and this is an invasion of privacy. I paid you to fix my car, not to take it upon yourself to evangelize me.

I brought my car in to Manchaca Service Center for them to check out a sweet & sour smell that I…read morecouldn't figure out. I thought it might be antifreeze. They did a full inspection of all the parts that might be causing it and told me what they checked but didn't find anything. They didn't charge me anything. I don't know if that's common, but I was very grateful that they were so diligent, as it could've been anything that might've caused me trouble later on. So I recommend these guys! Later that day, I noticed the smell again and on a hunch I checked the spare wheel well and sure enough -- on top was wet paper bags and an almost empty bottle of distilled water with a leak in the bottom!

Do not get any mechanical work done here! They have continuously messed up the work on my…read moretransmission and have not stood by their work and corrected their continued problems. In a nut shell, this is the timeline of my transmission with work done by Cottman's. 5/12/17 - Initial transmission lock up 5/13/17 - $800 worth of work, and I got my car back 5/15/17 - Locked up again! (more issues, no transmission fluid) 5/19/17 - $1500 worth of a rebuild and I got my car back 5/20/17 - Found a leak (bad seals..) 5/23/17 - get my car back 8/8/17 - Found another leak (failed to configure computer, multiple seal leaks) 4/24/18 - Found another leak (bad seal behind torque converter) 5/23/18 - Transmission locked up again!!!! I brought my car in 5/13/17 when my transmission locked up. They did some work, cost me a couple hundred dollars, but I got it out a couple days later. I drove it home and it locked up immediately by the time I drove it the 10 minutes to my house. I brought it back to them the following Monday, 5/15/17, and this time they had to rebuild the whole thing. They also didn't fill it will transmission fluid before letting me take it the first time. They did the work, pulled it, sent it out to get rebuilt and reinstalled it. It never ran the same, but no one really expects it to, right? When it was installed there were continued noises that have never stopped. I also noticed they ruined my brand-new ball joints because they tried to pop it off the joint instead of simply unscrewing the nut and bolts off the lower control arm! I picked my car up 5/19/17 after they rebuilt the transmission. I noticed the next day that my car was still leaking transmission fluid!!! I took it back to them yet again on 5/20/17!! Picked my car up 5/23/17, it didn't show any leaks at least, but never again has it sounded the same again. I noticed even more leaking beginning of August, and I brought it back to them again on 8/8/17! It was literally spraying transmission fluid on the inside of the front driver's side wheel well. I suspected this, so cleaned it thoroughly, and noticed that it still was getting wet. They removed the transmission and sent it back to the shop. The guy at the shop told them that there wasn't anything wrong with the transmission, they just didn't reconfigure the computer correctly, and sent the transmission back to Cottman. Cottman changed out some seals around the cv joint and reconfigured the computer. This was why it never sounded the same!! After I got it back it sounded a little better, drove a little better, but still not that good. In April of 2018 I took my car to another shop to have them see if they could find out what some of the squeaks and noises are coming from. They couldn't find any, but found another leak in the transmission!!! This one was located up in the front seal of the transmission, behind the torque converter!! So, I took it back to Cottman's again to have them fix it. Why would I keep coming back here, because the transmission is under warranty still.. They took it in 4/18/18 and repaired the leak and replaced the seal. So, now I'm driving my car to work 5/23/18 at 8:30AM and my transmission locks up again!!! It wont go past 2nd gear, it wont go into reveres anymore. I limp back to Cottman's shop to have them look at their handiwork and to take care of it. This time, they come back and tell me its 7000 miles past the warranty of the engine!!! Really! Like I drove 7000 miles between 4/18 and 5/23.. You took it in last month and fixed your continued problems! It obviously has continued issues, they have not done their job, they never properly repaired the problems and instead did shotty work until my transmission locked up again! Now they want me to pay for a whole new build!! Do not trust this place, they don't know what they are doing. They are not honest with their customers and have not been able to resolve the continued issues with my transmission. I have continued to give them the benefit of the doubt because they have always attempted to correct the issue. This time they have not. I do not recommend you have them do work on your car.

Don called me back the same day and was able to get me in that afternoon even on a holiday weekend, to have someone look at it. I was impressed with Don's attitude and his staff. They looked at my SUV right away and provided a pretty comprehensive inspection for free. It was unfortunately a worst case scenario and I was going to need a rebuild. Don showed me the computer readout of the costs of the rebuild kit and I double checked with another trusted mechanic who told me that based on the trouble code from the transmission, a rebuild would probably be needed. Don was able to help me request financing for such a large repair and he was able to work the pricing within the financing range so I didn't have to come up with much out of pocket. Don and his team took great care of me and even though it was an extended holiday weekend, they got my truck done in a very timely manner. If your experiencing transmission trouble, Don and South Austin Cottman Transmission are the guys to go see.
