Genuine Automotive & Diesel - Austin (TX)

Mike Walsh I have been going to Tony for 10 years now. Best mechanic I found in Austin when I moved here. He is honest to the core which is hard to find in an auto mechanic, especially the franchise type locations. Great work, shoots you straight and wont try to sell you something you dont need.

Rudraksha Survi Highly recommended!!! I had the best experience with Nas, he was truly fair and didnt make up extra problems when diagnosing the issue with my car, when I first went to them I was having steering issues and they fixed it temporarily for free and suggested to wait and see if its a real problem or not, it got bad again after 2 months , and this nas came up with a plan and he was really reasonable with the price and real quick with the repair. Im going to recommend everybody to go here when they are facing issues with their car. They are really wonderful and Im glad I found a reliable person

Steve Takata This has been my go to Mechanic for at least 15 years. This looks like a mess with cars and various states of repair scattered about the yard, but don’t let the appearances of this shop fool you. They have always been honest, fast, and reasonable. There have been plenty of times Where I’ve gone in to ask them about something small, and they have just fixed it and when I asked them how much I owed them they just kind of wave me away and don’t charge me anything. There’s no place else in Austin that I would take my car too, unless there was some sort of specialty repair on a car that they did not work on.

Shelby Lee These people are the best people!! I hit a deer in January in my BRAND NEW CAR. I was so upset but I took it to genuine and they took super good care of me and my car. They gave me updates as the work went on. Gave me a realistic timeliness of when my car would be done and now shes beautiful again!! Ill be sure to add photos of the before and after. They are awesome! Charlene was my girl in this whole situation. Made it super easy!

Jeremy Sanchez This mechanic shop has been here as long as I can remember. I’ve been In South Austin for 21 years. Just recently they have started working on diesel trucks. So after all this time, it’s my first experience with them. Very satisfied at the amount of time it took to diagnose, fix and return to me. After a few days of driving it, I can honestly say I have no complaints about the repair! Highly recommend these guys.

Raja Tamma Ive been using Maxs shop for many years to get my cars serviced and repaired. Very honest, excellent and affordable mechanic. Few shops will match the value he provides. The shop is cluttered and there is no receptionist to greet or answer the phone and its true that calls go unanswered as another reviewer said. If you drive to the shop hoping to catch his ear, he might tersely tell you to come another day. He doesnt mean to be curt but the man doesnt have time to shake your hand, exchange greetings, send you to a service advisor for an appointment and then charge an arm and a leg. Dont expect any frills if you go to him. This is the first time I am leaving a review for Max and hes been my first choice for more than a decade. If hes not able to do whats needed, he will tell you upfront. No gimmicks. Its hard to find a mechanic as honest as Max.

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.

Russ Shermer THE place to take your Toyota. Josh and Albert will take good care of your vehicle. Bearden is better and cheaper than the local dealerships who seemed way more interested in selling you a new vehicle rather than taking care of your older one.

Judith Breidenbach Eddie and All Points Auto Electric are the best! We took our Subaru on the recommendation of our regular mechanic because two batteries had died in a short period of time and our mechanic couldn’t find the problem. We needed an electrical expert and All Points Auto Electric found the problem in no time! This is where you need to take your car for any electrical issues. Highly, highly recommended! Excellent work! Thank-you, Eddie! Update: Eddie just checked in with me a month or so later to see how the car is running. Excellent customer service!!

Milton Corven This place is hands-down one of the best shops I’ve been to. The staff is knowledgeable, honest, and really takes the time to explain what’s going on with your vehicle. They specialize in BMWs and Minis, and it shows they know these cars inside and out. I felt confident leaving my car in their hands, and the work was done right the first time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for expert European auto care!
