We were very upset and disappointed last week when my brakes failed and we discovered that Tovar had installed the wrong rotors 18 months ago. We have called several times and had the other mechanic (that found the cause for brake failure) call, but we have received no response. We had to install new rotors, new brake pads and a new right caliper due to their mistake. 4/15 Update Chris contacted us this week and gave personal attention to our vehicle to make this situation right. read more

BEWARE!!! I paid him $896 for a transmission. he did not deliver or give money back yet. KOBE GOMEZ is a SCAMMER who doesn't deserve to have a business hes gone radio silence since, not willing to give me my money back or send me the part I bought from him read more

I recently had to have my transmission replaced amoung other things. Three things stood out to me, customer service was amazing. Paul helped build trust in them due to the costly repair. The price was reasonable. They had my vehicle finished within a week, way faster than I expected. Definitely recommend them! read more

My car was towed to the shop for a broken heater hose where I was quoted $2,600.00 for a laundry list of items in which I wasn't willing to have taken care of at Tovar Automotive. I felt the quote was too high, $800 for heater hose and crank position sensor replacement. That being said, the car was towed back to my home where it sat for several months as I procrastinated and avoided the summer heat. After spending a weekend replacing the above mentioned items and bringing the car back to life, I noticed the back of the driver's seat slightly pried out as I began cleaning the interior. Further investigation showed at least 3 missing airbags. Missing as in removed and likely sold elsewhere. I'm not pointing the finger at the owner of the shop, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone who created the work order may know about the stolen airbags. read more

Tovar Automotive - An airbag is usually fastened where this hole is. - Auto Repair Near Me - Hutto, Texas

Paid almost as much as the cars worth and still not fixed and now they are too busy to fix what they haven't fixed in the beginning. Just very dissatisfied. read more

Alex, the manager at the Front Street location is my go to person for all things auto repair. The best thing about Tovar is they anser their phone almost all the time and if they cant pick up they call back quickly. The get that the first part of "customer service" is actually talking to the "customer". Their rates are better than others in town. They are knowledgeable, they dont over charge, there are no surprise billings, they deliver the car when they say it will and I dont have to go back over and over for them to "repair" their repair. Couldnt be happier with this company. read more

Excellent, timely service on a radiator repair. Will not hesitate to bring my vehicle back to them. I highly recommend.

The folks over at Tovar Automotive won't do you wrong. I believe that they are under new management and they will do everything in their power to make sure that you are 100% satisfied. When we took our car back after the noise that it was making came back they not only rode with me to replicate the problem but they also got us in right away and replaced and fixed several items free of charge since we had already paid once. I have to say that I'm truly impressed by their customer service which is hard to come by these days! I definitely would recommend them! read more

Had my Car in this place 4 times in less than 18 months with the same issue. 1st time it was a manufacturers problem but should not have had to take it back a further 3 times - 4th time, less than a week after they fixed it the 3rd, they hadnt connected a hose which resulted in almost blowing my engine and having to be towed at a cost of $150. Was told the owner was gonna call us but almost 3 weeks later Im still waiting. I dont think a phone call is too much to ask. read more

Tovar Automotive is a real life saver. They understand my business and are quick to get my vehicles back to me in a timely manner. The work is done right the first time and they always go above and beyond in customer service! I highly recommend Tovar for your automotive needs! read more

Great shop! They've kept my 95 Blazer alive for a very long time! Fair pricing, honest mechanic. read more

If you are looking for an honest automotive shop Tovar is the place to go. I went to several places to get estimates on repairs and it seems most places want your firstborn child for a simple brake replacement. Not Tovar automotive. They were not only fast and efficient but fixed my brakes/rotors at a great price too. read more

I was impressed with Chris's friendly and courteous demeanor, and he is very price competitive too but I have had a less than satisfying experience with the work done on my car. I am still waiting on a return call from my last time there. I had a overheating problem first and he replaced my water pump. I would expect anyone replacing that would also replace or at least check the thermostat? I had the stat replaced, my main problem now, is getting the check engine light off so I could have the car inspected. I understand my car is older and has 144K miles but it still has some way to go before it's time for the 'boneyard'. My last time there, they removed the throttle body to clean out the egr passages which didn't resolve the odbll code (which my son resolved by replacing the egr vacuum solenoid) but now the engine's idle speed is ramping up as high as 2,500 rpm, so I can only assume the mechanic damaged the idle air control valve which may cost over $200. I really liked the convenience of having a local shop but I think he has gotten too busy to keep up with things. After two months of this I'm still without my car! read more

My husband's car had the check engine light on, and after visiting the local O' Reilly's to see why, it was decided that only a mechanic could really figure it out. I googled, I searched Facebook, and checked here. I called around a few places and ultimately Tovar was the best. It was the only one out of four, that I called, that was upfront about the cost of the multipoint inflection, and the check engine light diagnosis. I knew that this was the people I wanted to trust with the car. Being a girl, taking in a car, I didn't want them to assume I don't know what's going on, or try to pull a fast one on me to get more money out of me. I didn't feel this way, with these fine people. It's close to Christmas, and so I was stressing the costs of the repair we ended up needing, and they were kind of enough to work with me on payments. I have NEVER encountered that sort of thing with any mechanic, ever. I will always bring my vehicles here, and suggest everyone I know to do the same. read more

Had my car A/C go out in the middle of July, in Texas. Got a quote the same day, with all recommended repairs itemized and clearly delineated as to part and labor costs, in order of priority. Thane and the guys are very easy to talk to and explain what is needed. I'll update this once the repairs are done, but so far the customer experience has been top notch! read more

This is by far, the most honest shop I have ever taken my car to. They charge very fair rates for their work. I have been a customer for many years, and have never once had anything to complain about. On the contrary, they have gone above and beyond to please me add a customer. I am very impressed. I won't take my cars anywhere else...they have earned my trust many times over. read more

Never again... nice people, bad business. Drop car of in April for engine swap or repair and the donor motor thrown in was broken so they had to repair my old one just got the car back it's july. Has issues took it Dave's they diagnosed it pcm issues and coolant system failure. Another 1500 I'm out on top of the 5000 charged. Dropped car off with busted windows and told them not to leave it outside and what happened they left it outside in the rain with MY tire cover over the window, the tire cover was made of cloth and is an original piece for the car it was ruined. Got the replacement window mechanic said it was the wrong one but he made it work still haven't actually seen it work because door panel wasn't put on. The mechanic that was working on it was a great guy but he quit halfway because of how the business was ran. The offered to fix it or make it right but honestly it isn't worth the time it would just sit there. I needed the vehicle back in May. I only used them because my mother works there and said I should give them a shot. But never again left a horrible taste in my mouth. Edit: car started overheating 2 days after picking up from Tovar's shop so I went and bought a new thermostat the old thermostat was rusted which means when they "rebuilt" my motor they cut corners in some pretty important spots. Also screws for my door panel are missing so it's just dangling there, the trim for my glass window is bent guess it was done on install. Oh and I couldn't see it because of the busted glass but since they left my car outside in the rain with a busted window there is mold and white fungus on my seat. Edit again: the weather stripping is coming off the window the replaced Will keep this post updated as I discover new things Edit: windows they replaced weren't installed right and my defrost doesn't work on the rear one and it looks like they pinch the weather stripping under it. Also the ac they "fixed" is broken and leaking.. read more

Chris Tovar is a trust worthy mechanic ..he fixed my suburban in a decent amount of time & the price wasn't outrageous either..

Took my car there today with a transmission issue. Chris looked it over and told me I had a leak in a couple of my lines and i was low on fluid. Michelle drove me back to my house and in a couple of hours my car was done. Michelle came and picked me back up and all fixed! What a professional and friendly crew they are. I will be using them for all of my auto needs. And the price was great! read more

We do a lot of business with these guys. Really good people, fair prices, quick turn-around. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a mechanic. read more

This place is AWESOME! Dropped our Liberty off for a new radiator and got it back same day. Pricing was great and affordable as well. I have a few items on both of our Jeeps and Tovar will be doing all of the work. Great place! Very pleased and happy to find a good quality mechanic. read more
