Flamingo Automotive - Austin (TX)

Patrick McCarver I had a great experience with 512Jpestrada. He quickly figured out the issue with my car and thought outside the box to get it running better than ever. His expertise and attention to detail were impressive, and he went the extra mile to make sure everything was in top shape. If youre looking for a mechanic whos knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated to getting the job done right, I highly recommend John! My car has never run smoother, and I will definitely be calling him again for any future needs.

Justin Bailey Discovered Century Automotive after moving to Austin several years ago, and am grateful I did. Travis is great to work with - personable, upfront, and informative. They’re not going to recommend any work they don’t think is necessary, and the work they do perform will be of high quality and done in a timely manner. I’d recommend calling ahead to get on their calendar though, as they do stay extremely busy. Can’t recommend them enough.

Larry Rieber Excellent service. They are straight forward and do the work you request without looking to do other work. I know; I keep records and have other shops that recommend work work I have just had done a few months or a few thousand miles ago. But Austin Automotive Specialists is NOT one of those shops. They are trustworthy.

Evan Rowley Jerry and Giselle run a great, local, small business. Theyre incredibly transparent and trustworthy and not trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Ive taken my car here twice in the last 6 months. Both times they were incredibly kind and hospitable, and the work on my car was very thorough and comprehensive. Jerry even dropped what he was doing to bail me out of a minor emergency the other day. Im very appreciative of the quality and care they provide.

Bryan Eisenberg It’s rare to find a shop where the values aren’t just printed on the wall. At North Star Automotive, now under new family ownership, those values are alive in every interaction. Ryan took care of my son’s truck with a level of honesty and clarity that’s hard to find. He didn’t just fix the issue. He made sure my son understood what was happening and how they would handle it. No fluff. Just straightforward communication and a fair solution. What stood out most was the feeling. This is a family-owned business that treats you like one of their own. It’s focused on the customer, not just the transaction. And it’s clear they care about building real relationships that support the community, not just doing business in it. The shop itself is welcoming and clean, with a surprising number of bays ready to serve. And something tells me those bays will be busy once more people discover the kind of care and value Ryan and his family bring. We’re thankful, we’re impressed, and we’re definitely coming back.

jacqueline ziebis Best auto shop in North Austin. The guys here really know what they are doing. Great work ethic, timely, honest and transparent about repairs and cost. My car was having some electrical issues and Josh fixed it right away! This shop does a great job getting your car looked at and worked on asap and won’t have you waiting days or hours for updates and progress. I got my car back within a day. Best experience so far.

G KE (M) This is a mechanic shop I trust. Years ago, they told me not to spend money trying to fix my ancient vehicle, when they could have charged a fortune to "fix" it. This last visit they told me my filters were clean on my (newer) car, when they could have just charged me to change them. They are courteous and capable.

Joe A My last experience at Tech One Auto with my 2012 Shelby was with Austin and was an absolutely amazing experience. His honesty, experience and knowledge turned a somewhat disastrous experience for me into a trustful relationship in which I will be a life-long customer. I wont get into details but the turnaround of my situation when I arrived to where I ended up when I left was transformational. Maggies positive attitude and honest nature also adds to the customer experience each time. Ill admit Im not always the easiest customer to please so writing these types of reviews is not something I do on a regular basis and only when the service is truly exceptional. Tech One Auto took over Gordon Automotive that was family owned however when you leave Tech One Auto you also feel like part of the family.

Marcos Garcia Highly recommend JR Automotive! I called on a Monday to get the splash guard replaced and an oil change done on my 2022 Honda Civic. They were professional, friendly, and got me in quickly. The work was done efficiently and at a fair price. Great experience from start to finish—definitely my go-to shop for any car maintenance or repairs!

Rachel Espinoza Newmans Automotive was great from start to finish. Julian was very helpful. He showed me exactly what work was needed and broke down the quote for me. Travis, Andy and Cam were also really informative and assisted me throughout the process. I opted into using the financing option they offer as well as I used one of their loaner cars that was available. Overall, they took care of my car and made sure my life wasnt too disrupted by my car needing to be worked on! I will definitely use them again the next time my vehicles need anything. Thanks!!
