Georgetown & Round Rock Auto Repair

Quality treatment with no wait and no drama! Love it when good people can do a great job. That happens here!

I came in the other day because my truck had a weird clanking sound. They told me they checked out EVERY SINGLE possibility and said it had to be something with the transmission. They told me they were going to charge me $800 to just drop the transmission (which is almost everyone's normal price). After dropping it, they found that it was the starter causing the problem, which I know doesn't need to have the transmission dropped. They then said they were going to check the flywheel to make sure it didn't get damaged, which is why "we still needed to drop the transmission." (That's one way, but that's a lie). They shouldn't have had to drop my transmission if it was the starter and they said that they checked everything in the first place and to check the fly wheel all they had to do was remove my starter and they would've had a way to see the it. After checking with my good friend and mechanic and another mechanic they also confirmed that they didn't have to drop my transmission and they could've done it the other way. They lied to me. And they still tried to make me pay $1,000 for a $300 problem. And also still tried to justify why they did it.

I’ve lost count of how many cars I’ve brought to Automotive Specialist. From fluid changes to water pump and timing belt replacement to rear subframe work, they always take great care of my cars and me. Prices are fair, and much lower than a dealer. I’ve brought everything from brand new Corvettes to 17 year old Nissans here. Same quality and response every time.

Thank you Ray and AutoSpec for fixing that annoying vibration in my truck. It now drives very well and rides like a new truck. Your excellent customer service is much appreciated.

During the last cold snap this year, my heater core in my Chevy Equinox went out... spewing antifreeze in my floorboards & fogging up my windshield to the point I could barely see to drive. I called about 10 auto shops around the Austin area, and got quotes ranging from $1100 (Auto-Spec) to $2600. It's an INTENSE "fix" -- the dash, steering wheel & front seats had to be removed. A lot of places I called said they wouldn't even take on the job because it was so much work (14+ hours of labor alone!)... but Mike & Ray quickly gave me a quote and offered to set up an appointment to get my car fixed. We've used Auto-Spec in the past and, even though they did quote us the lowest price, were happy to give them our business again. The guys (we worked with Mike the majority of the time) were AMAZING, keeping us updated along the way and even taking pictures to show us how crazy my car looked once they took the seats and dash out! (I mean, who takes time to snap a few pics to show the car owner when they come pick up the car? Pretty cool!) Their original quote of $1100 is basically what we ended up paying (plus $20-something dollars for a new hose that was needed), and I can honestly say that their work was AMAZING! I couldn't tell a bit that my car had been totally taken apart & put back together. We will definitely continue to use Auto-Spec for all of our car repair needs in the future! Thanks, Mike & Ray!

Ray and the team always provides great service and advice on our vehicle. We have been using them for years to help with our repair and maintenance needs since they provide great service and only recommend what is needed to keep our cars running great.

JC Automotive Specialists have been my one and only car shop for the past 13 years when they gave me an honest assessment of faulty engine mounts in my 1 year old Nissan Murano. Instead of charging me to fix it, they worked with the Nissan dealer to explain the situation should be covered under warranty even though I was just outside of the warranty period. They saved me over $1000 on my first visit. They have been my shop for all of my cars since that day. They always treat me fair and don't try to sell me things I don't need. They even offer free rides back to work/home when you drop off/pick-up your vehicle for service. I can't recommend them enough! -Travis

I have an older Miata - 2000 SE - and these guys really know their way around this car. I trust them to diagnose and repair it properly. Plus, the cost is always what they say it is. They know their stuff and are honest and fair.
