"Deserves ZERO STARS.. Don't go here unless you would like to be ripped off. I took my vehicle here last week I was referred by a friend. These guys said 45 dollar diagnostic and it will take 45 minutes. That was last Thursday it is now Tuesday the following week and they had absolutely no diagnostic ready for me. They kept saying they needed more time? I know more or less about Auto Mechanics and knew what he was telling me when he started saying he needed to access the intake manifold, he told me he was going to charge me 220 to access the manifold in order to see if my EGR valve pipe was connected properly and to access the manifold he would have to remove stuff to get access. For my model of vehicle that is not necessary there is no incasing or anything like that to take apart to access the manifold and there is only one hose that connects to the manifold from the EGR valve. He swore he had to open stuff up and do a lot of work just to have a visible. That is not true I pulled up my schematics and see that it is easily accessible its on the left hand side passenger and is easily accessed. I called YOST AUTOMOTIVE and told them exactly what this guy told me and they said yeah that wasn't necessary to check the hose. When I told the mechanic I knew about mechanics and had the schematics he got upset and told me to come get my car right away. They are dishonest and they will fix unecessary things to make is seem worse. DONT TRUST THEM! Unprofessional"

"It's very good service on north Lamar and he fixed my car very good..."

"Just them being open ten minutes prior to there opening time is already a big plus of dependability as most of these tire shops on lamar claim to open at a certain time and are not. Got a quick patch nice workers fast job done. Will be coming here from now on"

"I've been living in Austin for about 3 years. And it wasn't until a year ago that I found this honorable mechanic shop. I have an 03 car and when I would go to some other mechanic shops they would always try and rip me off saying that some parts needed to be changed because they were in bad condition when they would do a regular oil change. Yet, my car was driving great. Well when I brought it here to get a part replaced, they weren't trying to sell me the most expensive part but were trying to get the little part that was missing to get it to work perfectly. I have had no issues with my car whatsoever. Now I only come for minor things. Now a days mechanics want to sell you the whole shop, but not this place, they fix the issue not replace it with a whole other new piece. This is my go-to shop now. Honest people and fast service."
