Georgetown & Round Rock Auto Repair

Most of the car issues that I have had in the time I've lived here (5 yrs) have been limited to oil changes/tire replacements so I had not had to shop around for a mechanic as of yet. That changed today when I found out that some lugs on one of my wheels needed to be replaced. I called 3 other places prior to calling JC Automotive and I am glad that I didn't use anyone else! From the very first call they were very courteous and professional, working in the customer service field myself this is really important that someone makes a good first impression. I got my car over there and since it would be a while before my car could get in (I wasn't even upset about the wait since I didn't have an appointment and they were the only ones who could get me in today) I was delighted to find that they had a courtesy shuttle available. Not that I would have minded waiting, but it was nice to be able to go home and relax in the meantime. When my car was completed I got a call and since I wasn't going to be able to get there before end of business they worked out an arrangement with me and I was able to pay over the phone. My husband and I will definitely be using these guys in the future for any repairs that we need! Car repairs are always stressful..."how much is it going to cost?", "do I really trust these people to be working on my car", "do they know what they are doing?". Even though this was my first visit in there I trusted these guys to work on my car and from the volume of business I assume that they are pretty good at what they do. Cost wise I think it was very reasonable. Thank you JC Automotive for making a stressful situation a lot less stressful!

I know a little bit about cars and know when a Mechanic is giving you the B/S. Ray got my 2010 Acura tires replaced and CV axle replaced . I had supplied parts and even before I asked ,he asked me what tires I wanted to keep for any reason and packed the used OEM CV back in the box. These guys are not in the biz for scheming and I will take my car happily for repairs . And they charge a fair price for a honest job .wish them lots more happy customers, I will be sure to send their way.

I live in DFW and spend a lot of time in Austin/Round Rock. I had a fuel pump problem while in RR last year and lucked into JCAS with a Miata problem. Expert, quick work, with good communications while my car was in there. Recently I lost an alternator on the drive from DFW. Again, great work from JCAS. Stop reading reviews and just take your car to this place. Done!

I just purchased a 2008 Mazda CX7 about 45 days ago and the car died on a trip out of town. I had the car towed to JC Automotive Specialist. It was a Saturday and they weren't open so I left the car there with my information and waited to hear back on Monday. They were prompt in calling me and confirming my concerns and called me back that same afternoon to let me know the issues. The issues, unfortunately, were so crazy expensive they were kind enough to "motivate" me to issue a complaint with the Ford dealer I bought the car from as well as try and get something done with Mazda. Rather then take my money and make a difficult situation worse, they gave me honest advice and didn't even charge for the diagnostic. Great service...if I ever get my car back or any of our other family cars require repair I will only take my car here.

I don't understand why this place has such good reviews. I went here specifically because people were touting how great it was. My experience was less then steller. I dropped my car off overnight on the key drop place since I got of work late. They told be before that they have it done the next day. next day came and no one called me to confirm they have my car or they were working on it. NOTHIGN. I called at noon to make sure they did in fact have my car, and that my car wasn't jacked or anything since I left it outside on their lot. They guy (Ray) said they will look at it and get back to me soon. I called at 3pm and Ray said they were typing up the report. I called at 5pm and Ray said they were typing up the report. This was a bunch of BS. they haven't even looked at my car yet. I told them I was coming to pick up my car since I had to have it next day, I suspect they started looking at my car then. They got one star because they did fix the oil leak. However, I tried to use a $15 coupon on their website. Ray said, "I gave you a discount on your price already, use it next time". I was thinking, why they heck would I give you the coupon beforehand so you can just jack up the price and take a discount???? I also heard another rep told his customer that he gave them a HUGE discount on his price. If you were stupid enough, then you'll believe them. They just say that to make you believe you got a great deal. I also got a compressive vehicle inspection ($99). They found several things wrong with the car. Ray only gave me a quote for the labor, but not the parts. He said he would give me the quote the next day. Well it's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard from them. Long story short, save yourself the trouble of going here. The reviews are overrated.

Just moved to RR and needed a new place to take my car for regular work. They took same day appointments. Apparently they have a shuttle service that takes you home if need be. They have free coffee. They have wifi. They did fair work and didnt try to upsell me on anything. Also- small discount for first time customer. Also- 15 buck off coupon for yelp check in possible. Clean, friendly and a good experience :)

I was very surprised by the poor service I received a JC Automotive given the very positive reviews on Yelp. I called and asked for an estimate to replace my clutch which was making a squealing noise when the clutch engaged that went away when the clutch peddle is depressed. They asked me to bring the vehicle in so they could inspect it and make the estimate. We agreed to have the car to them at 7:30am Thursday morning. When dropped the car off, on time, they told me it would be a couple of hours before they could look at it, so I left the car. 2:30pm that afternoon, I called back, and they said they had driven the car, but didn' t hear the noise I described, and asked me to go back to the shop to show them. I went back to the shop, pointed out the noise as described when clutch engaged vs. not, and they said it they needed to put it on the lift, but couldn't do it then. I took the car home and will find another shop that has more respect for my time.

This place is the real deal! My husband and I moved here about 3 years ago and have struggled to find our "car guy". I've encountered so many dishonest, shoddy and unprofessional repair shops since we've been here, I was beginning to lose hope! After reading the other reviews on this place, we decided to give it a go. My husband took his car in last week for some routine maintenance and from the moment we walked in they were friendly, helpful and honest. Another place had told us we needed a certain part replaced "immediately". Within 5 minutes of being here they told us that part doesn't even exist on our car! We couldn't be happier with the customer service and work done on our vehicle.

They repaired a transmission fluid leak for $49.00. Another auto repair shop in Round Rock had quoted me $425.00 to do the repair. The difference was Automotive Specialist had the knowledge, and integrity to not immediately go to (and perform) the very expensive repair procedure, but instead they investigated can the leak be repaired by cleaning up the previously leaked fluid and then tightening the low pressure hose clamp. Their repair did stop the leak, and enabled me to pass the state safety inspection. The other repair facility just automatically said we'll do the repair and quoted me the standard book cost of $425.00 to remove and replace the high pressure power steering hose. I'm glad I got a second opinion from Automotive Specialist. In addition to being glad I also saved $376.00. Also Automotive Specialists was prompt and very pleasant to deal with.

Brought my truck in because the heater was not blowing hot air. We made it through last winter without it, but didn't want to do that again this year. I figured it was just air bubbles in the cooling system that I wasn't able to remove on my own. The mechanic spent a few hours with it, trying to remove the air with their airlift system. They found a small crack at the end of my overflow hose, so they trimmed the end off and tried to remove the air from the system once again. It was later determined that the heater control valve was bad. The part had to be ordered from the dealership, so I decided to take care of it on my own. Total cost for the 2.5 hours of work: $52 with tax. They only charged me for the diagnostic fee. I couldn't believe it! They found the problem, found and fixed a small leak, and spent a lot of time on my vehicle. I was expecting to pay at least $100. I will be returning to this shop with both of my vehicles for all of my maintenance needs. Also, their diagnostic was correct! I ordered a new heater control valve and installed it myself. The heater works great now and the wife is very happy!
