They are reliable and saved me from a 12,000.00 unnecessary repair the other shop had quoted me. Ask for Lucas Collier, he's your man if you are looking for a truly genuine repair man. We can't THANKYOU enough and will be sending all our business your way and sharing your shop with everyone. Please read below (if you have time but I highly recommend you take the time to read) what I had to post as a review on the other shop because this is why we love Champion. The whole staff there is wonderful. Thankyou Lucas, Blue and team again!! Below is the review I had to post on Lambs Automotive in Buda and you can read for yourself why we love Champion Auto in San Marcos ... Lambs Auto Repair Review *WARNING* First time bringing my car in here since it changed from McSpaddens to Lambs in Buda and wow I am SUPER disappointed. I brought my car in due to a gas smell it was giving- and for them to do a diagnostic test to see what may be the issue. Mind you my car has never over heated or my check engine light was never on. They called me after running a couple tests saying I had two options because they believed I had a broken head gasket. They said I needed a brand new motor For 12,000.00 or they were going to need to replace head gasket and surrounding parts for around 6,5000.00. I know nothing about cars so I call my husband in a panic. Thank God for my husband knowing things about cars. It just didn't seem possible my car needed all that work. So we took it from Lambs and found another shop recommended by some friends. Champion Auto Repair in San Marcos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking your car there instead. They are honest, experienced and do quality work. Ask for Lucas Collier, was so impressed with him. They ran all the tests and found NO broken head gasket! Turns out my jeep just needed a little tune up ( new spark plus etc) and more importantly IF my head gaskets needed replacing ,as Lambs had said, this new shop quoted us 2800.00 for the EXACT same repair. Doing research we found Lambs was BEYONd over charging us and charging us for repairs that weren't even needed!! feel pretty taken advantage of, and would still be trying to figure out a way to take a loan out to be able to pay for a repair at Lambs that was never even needed. Definitely won't be trusting this shop. Lesson learned 1. Always do research on cost of parts and 2. Always get a second opinion. *Also noticed that all the five star reviews are actually from the previous ownership which was McSpaddens. So do your research!! (512) 938-1122

Date: 7/15/2026…read more Repair Performed Front Strut Replacement 2-Wheel Alignment Vehicle 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe Issues After Service Sway bar link was not properly secured Steering wheel was off-center Vehicle was pulling to the right I followed up with the shop several days after the repair because the vehicle was still pulling to the right and the steering wheel was off-center. The mechanic confirmed both issues. I was told that the front tires were causing the problem and that the tires were flipped. After this was done, I was told the vehicle was now pulling to the left. I then took the vehicle to Sam's Club to have the tires balanced and rotated and to verify that there was not an issue with the tires. I was reassured that the tires were in good condition and properly balanced. Despite this, the vehicle continued to pull to the right. We were leaving for a trip to Florida in two days, so I took the vehicle to CheckNash to have the alignment and suspension checked before making the 12-hour drive. According to the alignment report from CheckNash, the front toe was significantly out of specification. The amount of misalignment was severe enough that it could have caused premature and uneven wear to the front tires, in addition to making for an unsafe and extremely uncomfortable 12-hour drive with the vehicle constantly pulling to one side. I followed up with QuickAlign regarding the issue. Unfortunately, I was only offered an apology and was not offered a refund or any compensation for the time spent returning to the shop, having the issue rechecked, and ultimately having to pay another shop to properly diagnose and correct the problem. I have used this shop in the past for work that I am unable to complete myself. However, after this experience, I will be looking for a new repair and maintenance shop. I expect repairs to be completed correctly the first time, especially when it involves steering, suspension, and wheel alignment.

Mark, the mechanic is a FRAUD…read more In 2022 he replaced my AC compressor on my 2009 Nissan Frontier, he obviously did not flush the system out properly, stray particles got into the new compressor and it was screaming from the start when I picked it up. Mark charged me like ~$500 labor, he had me buy the parts myself (strange). I bought a NEW compressor kit from rock auto. Than, I decided to try a 2nd time, called him in late May 2023, he said real busy, call back in a week, I started calling on that Thursday, 3 calls later could not get him to answer. Finally I called the A-1 alternator front office, he said: " he's back there !" I called again, got Mark on the phone, he said:" I am REAL busy, if you need it fast I cannot help you. " I said it's not that I need it fast, I just need to schedule it with you - - - but it was obvious from his sour attitude he was not wanting the job back at all. He should have given my money back for the shitty job he did before. I will never use them again.
