Buddha's Garage

"Been going to Buddha’s Garage now for 2 years. They’ve helped me with everything. From simple oil changes to headlight replacements to complicated projects costing $2k. If they say they can do it, they can. Communication is great. Josue or Dave will always call after they diagnose the problem and give you a competitive quote right off the bat. The 4.8 stars they currently have is well deserved and I will continue to use them for my automotive needs in the future. Thanks Dave!! (I did not receive any perks for posting this review FYI. They’re just great guys and I appreciate them) Thanks Dave and Josue and all the mechanics who work in the garage with little recognition from the public. Yall rock!"

"Was new to town in 2021 and didn't look at other mechanics in town. They claimed to be the best mechanics in town. I visited them several times. They can do a good job but their labor is expensive and they mark up the part prices. If you can buy your own parts and get them installed by someone, do that. You'll save some good amount of money."

"First time customer coming to Buddha's Garage and decided to try it out based on the positive reviews. Really appreciated Josue's help getting scheduled and really appreciated the thoroughness the mechanic took on my 2011 Tacoma. Multi-point inspection seemed to be spot on, and I appreciated the honesty on some of the items that I could replace myself, like the engine filter. Highly recommend Buddha's Garage."

"When the head gasket blew on my 2012 Honda Accord, I took it into Buddha's garage. Let me tell you -- I have worked with at least 4-5 mechanics in Austin, none of them come even close to the service I received here. Every time I called in with a question, I spoke to Josue, who always had a helpful, can-do attitude. If you are looking for excellent communication, mutual-respect, and transparency -- take your car in to this shop. The owner, I believe his name is David, even spoke to me for 15-20min answering my questions and walking me through all the possibilities of the project -- he had personally looked at my car with the head technician. They give solid, reasonable prices. They won't hit you with insane highballing. Nor will they give questionably low prices suggesting sketchy corner-cutting or rushing. These guys took the time to do it right and communicated with me about it all the way. And they were also, by the way, extremely fast -- they rebuilt the whole top half of my car in 5 days and still took the time to meticulously road test it. Save yourself a headache and take your car to a real old-school, professional mechanic -- they will take care of you here. Thanks for getting me back on the road Buddha's garage!"
