I've taken cars here in on two seperate occasions and both times, I left satisfied. The first for a 60k check-up and the second because of grinding brakes. Prices were fair and they called each time to discuss pricing and options to address the issues. Additionally, repairs were done in 1 day and I had the estimate before 8am after dropping the car off the night before. I would recommend them and will be going back should the need arise.

So, found Automative Specialist on yelp and they have not disappointed. Have taken two vehicles and have been extremely please with the services performed, the costs, the speed of work and customer service. Taking my Venza in tomorrow for it's 40K service and fully expect to be pleased again.

Went here based on the yelp reviews and close to my location. Have to say that I'm pleasantly pleased with the service I received; honest assessment without trying to con me out of what I really needed. Five stars for the best customer service I've received, fast, friendly, affordable, and honest. Also, that $15 off Yelp coupon wasn't bad either!

$15.00 coupon was great, but waiting for 2 hours for an oil change, not so great. I believe only one guy was doing oil changes that day?

Nothing but great things to say about Auto-Spec. The Manager, Kevin McCollum helped me out with the process to fix my car's A/C issue, and was very friendly, and professional. They have a shuttle service as well if you don't have a ride, which I didn't and the drivers were fantastic and friendly. When Kevin told me the total cost of the repair, I was in disbelief, not in the expense, but how cheap the final cost was! Auto-Spec has me as a customer for as long as I'm here!

I took my car into another shop in the area because had a check engine light on. That shop came back with a huge list of things they said we had to fix to get the light off. The list totaled over three thousand dollars! I called Mike at the Round Rock Auto Spec and he told me to bring my car into them. I am SO glad that we did. Low and behold, here at Auto Spec they were able to fix the problem for only $207! I'd say that's a pretty huge difference in price. Wow! They let me know that the other items the other shop was trying to tag on were all fluff items. Some of them were good to do, but certainly not necessary at this exact moment. We're just about to buy a house here, and we're new to the area. I am really grateful that this shop was so honest with us. We will be customers for life.

My wife takes our 4Runner here and they are always on point. Best customer service of any repair shop we've been to. They are knowledgeable and always explain what they diagnosis so we understand what is going on. I know when they fix something it's done right the first time. Everyone here is super friendly and helpful. They even have a shuttle service available which is convenient for my wife. She can drop off our vehicle in the morning and they will take her to work. Never had a bad experience with these guys. We go to the location in Round Rock but I'm sure Georgetown is just as great!

These guys are the best! I've been taking my POS Mazda here for a couple years and they are always fast, friendly, and honest. I don't care if I have to pay extra to have my vehicle towed further than my insurance will cover, I refuse to take it elsewhere. Mike is always straight forward with me and does not bullshit. Often times I pay less than what I am originally quoted! Best shop in the Austin area hands down.

RIPOFF!! Bottom line: These guys misdiagnosed my issue, still charged me $65 for diagnosis, and according to the Nissan dealer, ordered the wrong parts for the job, and way over charged me for the parts and labor. Be warned!! The good: - John is a very down to earth, friendly, easy to talk to guy. - They will pick u up and drop u off if needed. The ugly story: I told them what was wrong with the car and what needed to be done. They disagreed with me. They then spent an hour mis-diagnosing it. Finally the tech came back into the showroom and said "I think you're right". I said "take the ECU out and look at it. I bet it's fried". 5 min later he had it out. He walked in the back room to show John first, then walked up to counter. Sure enough, a part on the ECU went bad. I was right. John said they'd credit me back the $65 diagnostic. But Mike never did credit it back to me. They ordered 2 sensors needed to have replaced. John said "we get these OEM parts super cheap! Guy we buy them from just puts the actual OEM bagged part into his own bag and sells it at great discount. I trusted that. I got screwed. They charged me $546 for parts. Dealer said I could have purchased them from Nissan for $340. Auto-Spec also charged me high labor cost. They charged me $261.00 labor to replace 2 sensors and the ECU. My local shop said that is a very easy job that they would have charged $100. I wish I had purchased the OEM parts from the dealer and had my local mechanic install them. The other area that I trusted these guys on was the actual knowledge of the parts. The dealer said it was silly to buy those sensors individually, since u can purchase the whole throttle body for $350 less and it includes both sensors and is even easier to replace, and u get $40 rebate back from the old throttle body core. Dealer said "most any basic mechanic knows that". Well, these guys didn't. Mike was the guy that charged me such high prices. I don't know if he makes a commission off the sale, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I called them and explained that I could have saved $350 by purchasing the throttle body at the dealer and having my local shop installing the ECU and throttle body. Mike's response: "U didn't complain when I quoted u the initial price. It's too late now. I can't go back and change it after the fact." Well, that's pretty crappy. I trusted that y'all knew what u were doing, that u wouldn't charge me more than dealer prices, and assumed u understood the basic parts diagram enough to purchase a throttle body if needed as the dealer said "most any mechanic knows to do that". I was charged at least $250 more than what the dealer would have charged, and that was assuming I had changed both sensors individually! If I had the throttle body changed, which the dealer said "most any mechanic knows changing the throttle body is cheaper and easier", then I would have saved $350 by purchasing it from the Nissan dealer!!! Yes, dealer price was $350 cheaper! And that's just the parts. They also charged me "on the very high-end" for labor, according to the dealer. I never got ripped off that bad. I've never paid more than dealer price at a non-dealer shop. These guys seem professional on the front-end, and were pleasant to deal with on the front-end, but they charge very high prices, and not willing to make it right. I called back again today, talked with Mike, and asked if he can simply match the dealer price. He said no. Best he'll do is give me a $100 gift certificate to his shop for future business. That's insulting. So be careful with these guys. Check the prices for labor and parts BEFORE u give your credit card over to Mike!!!! I would not trust them again. It pains me to give them one star, but their driver was very pleasant, and Ray, who also works the front desk seems like a good guy. So one star is well deserved for that! If u must deal with them, maybe ask for Ray and not Mike. U might have a better experience.

I took my 1972 Buick GS in today. The front seal on the differential was leaking. I told the guys to go ahead and replace the u-joints while they were at it and to inspect the entire car for any other needed repairs. I was pleasantly surprised when they said the joints were in good shape and that overall the car looked good. No long list of recommended repairs! Of course, I new this, but was curious what they would recommend. In the future, I plan to take all my cars here for repairs. They do good work and only repair what needs to be fixed.
