    My tires get finicky when the weather pressure abruptly changes. I have an air compressor but…read moreunfortunately it only charges via vehicle cigarette lighter and with gas prices these days that's a pricey solution. I think I've been to every Discount Tire in Austin and was thrilled that there was one close-ish to me. It looks very new and has a dedicated lane for tire pressure. The gentleman who helped me was very friendly and courteous even though he had a line of cars. (They won't tell you but I'd recommend tipping them a few dollars for their service). I'm not looking forward to my future tire pressure light inevitably turning on. But I know where to go to get it fixed!

    I've been using discount tire and their other locations around town for years. This is their newest…read morelocation in Manor. Before I ever set foot through the door, I shopped for tires on their online website and made my choice based on the ratings and manufacturer. You can call and they will give you some recommendations for your car, but it's best to go online first to see firsthand what you'll be getting. Some brands and sizes may need to be special ordered before you arrive. If you've bought tires in the last year or so, you know how expensive they are getting which is why being a proactive tire shopper is important. I actually arrived half an hour early and my special order tires were waiting for me. They got me in right away and even offered to give me a front end alignment scan for free to see if any adjustment was needed. One thing I recommend is that you ask to see the date stamp on the tire to make sure you're getting the most recently manufactured tire. The newer, the better. One big advantage of this location is that there are several restaurants and many retailers in the immediate walking area to spend your time at. If you wanna wait inside, they do have free water, but no coffee or TV. Since I paid online, I was handed the keys and on my way. They do also offer free tire rotation every 6000 miles and you can pull up in their air check lane at any time. 8 informative photos and video below.

    I can no longer recommend Atypical Mechanic after how they have recently treated me…read more I originally used them in 2021 and left a 5* review for them, but the short story is they quoted me a flat $120 diagnostic fee, showed up and did the diagnostic and asked for $240. We were able to work that out, I thought, and I left a 5* review as they did do the diagnostic I paid for. Fast forward to February of 2022 and I had them back for a different problem, and they diagnosed the problem as needing a right front wheel bearing. Took the car to Juke and did the job and that didn't fix the problem at all. After some diagnosis at Juke, they said I would need the left front wheel bearing and new engine mounts to fix the problem. $2,000 in repairs later, the problem went away. I never left Atypical a bad review for their diagnosis even though it was only 1/3 of the problem. Lucky for me, Juke was nice enough to waive their diagnostic fee to find the real problem. Fast forward to 2023 and I emailed them for a few price quotes for other jobs. After some back and forth, they told me they are "not the best fit for [my] mechanic needs moving forward." I don't remember anything happening when they did the diagnosis in 2022 other than their tech leaving an expensive tool in my vehicle which I contacted them to return. I guess they finally decided they were mad from 2021 that they didn't get another $120 out of me? I don't know. I asked for clarification on what their issue is but they refused to explain if it was anything other than the first incident. I've paid my invoices and have no issues with Atypical Mechanic, so I'm not sure what their issue is with me. UPDATE 03/29/23: Jeremy makes two points in his response. First, that I knew the diagnostic fee was hourly. This is incorrect, and his original message says: "Our evaluation fee is $120. This is also our hourly fee so if your evaluation is under an hour the remainder of that fee would go towards the repair." The first sentence says the evaluation fee is flat rate $120, not hourly, and only talks about a discount applied to the hourly rate for repair. It's poor wording on his part, and when we spoke on the phone Jeremy seemed to understand where I was coming from. Apparently that was not the case, and two years later he still feels like he is in the right and I'm combative. Second, he says I cancelled multiple appointments within an hour which is just a blatant line. I looked over all of the emails, and here are the timelines for all of my appointments: 01/31/22 @ 3:02pm: appointment scheduled for 02/11/22 @ 1:30pm 02/10/22 @ 2:57pm: rescheduled appointment for 02/14/22 @ 11:30am (22 hours in advance) 02/14/22: appointment kept and paid $120 diagnosis 02/14/22 @ 3:49pm: appointment scheduled for 02/24/22 @ 1:30pm 02/23/22 @ 7:34am: appointment cancelled (29 hours in advance) With Atypical's appointments running 2 weeks in advance at that time, it was hard to know my schedule that far out. I rescheduled and cancelled when I found out I would not be available. 22 & 29 hours does not seem egregious to me, and I'm sure you filled those holes if you were booking 2 weeks out. But to say I cancelled MULTIPLE TIMES and WITHIN AN HOUR is an outright lie. You can say that you found me combative, but don't lie, Jeremy. Not a good look when I can pull up the times from my email to prove you're wrong.

    Contacted Jeremy over the holidays with issue exhaust coming into my car, he performed a smoke test…read moreand checked all around my engine for oil leaks. He was very thorough and honest. I had other help from other mechanics, not that they were bad, but Jeremy was more knowledgeable and informative. I'm new to this mobile mechanic thing, but Jeremy can do most things a regular car shop can do and do it well. He's very good at troubleshooting electrical as well. I used him for other things and will continue to use Jeremy. I have not used the other mechanics but hope they are just as good.
