Austin's Automotive Specialists in
Lakeway (TX)

I dropped off. They called and explained the problem. Far less price than the dealer. FAR LESS. It’s fixed. I paid. I drove off. I’m happy. REAL HAPPY! Thanks boys!

They did a great job quickly fixing my car. The report they send you is very thorough and transparent with pictures of the car.

I’ve been coming to Austin Automotive Specialists for years. I have always received the best quality service here!

Since moving to the Lakeway area, Austin Automotive Specialists has been my go-to for anything connected to work my cars & truck. They are hands down the best. Everyone there is professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly, I trust them completely. They always go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right and that you’re taken care of. It’s such a relief to have a shop you can rely on. Highly recommend!

Chris and his team are fantastic and provide truly excellent service. They're transparent and thorough, going above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I dropped off son's car for a suspected oil leak. Really appreciate that they sent their findings and recommendations with pictures before starting any repairs. Not only did they fix the leak, but they transformed the engine by cleaning it (see before & after pics). Such a thoughtful surprise! Cannot thank them enough for the first-class treatment and helping keep son safe on the road. Highly recommend Austin's Automotive Specialists in Lakeway!

I have one more good reason to love Lakeway, TX, and that's finding Austin's Automotive Specialists on FM620. No lie, I had the same personable, quality experience as the dealership VIP treatment from Mercedes of Austin, and I didn't need the personal concierge to get it! Now I'm retired and back to driving Toyotas. I picked Austin's Automotive Specialists for their solid reputation and the short walk up 620 to my "Let's give back" work for charity. Here are the reasons I will keep coming back: Easy online scheduling (or by phone if you wish). Same day service and fast check in when I arrived. Work got busy, so I missed the text and phone call that it was ready to pick up before close at 5:30. The manager even called personally to say there was 10 more minutes hoping to save me an Uber home. These folks genuinely care. In closing, I have always been a "Pay it forward" kind of guy. Since I currently don't have more repair work to reward their excellent treatment of me, I'm writing this review so that maybe one of you will do it for me. haha! Be well, SW

Finally found an honest and competent mechanic. Austin’s Automotive Specialists was recommended by a friend of mine who also had a great experience with them.

These guys are the best! They’re honest, helpful, prompt, and they don’t try to sell you unnecessary services. The also offer many complimentary inspection items. This kind of relationship is rare in the industry.

I had a catholic converter go out on my Nissan just as I also need tan inspection. Austin Automotive Specialist in Lakeway was able to handle it the very next day. Incredible service and the staff were professional … Ok, fantastic!

This place is one of the few I trust to perform any work on my car. I was just in to get my transmission fluid serviced on my Volvo SUV. Chris and the full team are very honest, reliable, and they do great work every single time!! It is hard to find trustworthy shops these days, thank you guys for running a business the way it should be run!

To say that Chris and Austin's Automotive Specialists in Lakeway always take care of you feels like an understatement. After dealing with unnecessary repairs and high prices elsewhere, finding this team was a relief. Chris is an honest, clear communicator and an overall great guy to work with. I’ll keep coming back for any and all repairs on my vehicles. If you’re looking for one-stop service where you feel welcomed and confident in the recommendations, look no further. Thank you, Chris and the team. Y’all are the best in the area at what you do.

Another shop gave me a questionable diagnosis and quote. When I brought my car here, they told me they were not seeing the same issues. I was able to wait an entire year before the services were actually needed. This built trust for me. I did not hesitate to return. Cost and priorities were appropriate. Services were completed efficiently. Communication was professional and friendly. Thank you!

Kit and the crew were very helpful! Honesty is hard to come by in the auto business. I would highly recommend this Austin Automotive location to take care of your vehicle’s needs.

These guys are great! They are smart enough to use the Internet to research "Never saw one of these before" issues, saving clients thousands. I've never had them try to upsell me anything that was not needed. If you're no longer under warranty, this is the place to go. Look in the shop - you can't go in - and notice it's clean, organized, and the tools are all where they should be and not lying around on the floor. The techs are all graduates of training. There's no reason to go anywhere else. Ever.

I went to get my charcoal canister fixed which was quoted by Toyota at $1500! Chris and Kit were amazing and were able to solve the problem at no cost! They even topped off my windshield washer fluid which was overlooked by Toyota. I even overheard a gentleman saying how impressed he was with their quick and efficient work. I’d recommend anyone go here.

Great Service and Employees. They go above and beyond service. They always have made sure I was satisfied or needed anything including adding air in my tires when I had to get them filled quickly cause of another appointment I had to go to.

November 11thI’ve been coming to Austin Automotive Specialists for a few years now, and this is a business I 100% trust. I just had oil changes done on both of my vehicles, and as always, I’m very happy with the turnout.

Every visit is positive — the staff is friendly, smiling, and always willing to help. It’s rare to find a place that’s this honest, professional, and welcoming.

Brought the car there to replace the front rotor and it was a job covered under Carvana 100 days warranty. The job was completed the next day and they took care of all the paperwork. The car runs great. Would definitely recommend

I service both our cars with Austin's Automotive Specialists in Lakeway. My interaction with everyone I've met has been very good. They've been sincere, empathetic, provide honest advice and deliver what they commit to. Pricing is fair and they treat their work as a craft rather than churning out a job. I recommend them if you're looking to build a long-term relationship between your car and it's caregiver.

I had a great experience at Austin Automotive Lakeway. Chris and the rest of the staff were courteous and attentive, the service was completed promptly, and the pricing was very reasonable. Highly satisfied!

I’ve had them do headlight replacement and 4 wheel alignment. They’re prompt and helpful and do quality work at good prices. I was especially impressed with Kit. I will definitely be a regular customer.

Bought a battery next door at O'Reillys who waited until after I checked out to tell me they didn't have anyone to install it. Called up AAS and they put it in FOR FREE, zero wait. Amazing service and will be a customer forever now!

I have been a customer of Austin's Automotive Specialists for about a decade now. They are thorough, detail oriented and their prices are quite fair. They backup their work and honor warranties to the letter. Most recently my starter caught fire and I had to get the car towed. They fit my car in a day prior to the scheduled appointment and got my car fixed and back on the road that same day. Love the guys over at both the Lakeway and Cedar Park locations.

Had an awesome experience with this shop! The crew helped put ol blue back in working order even installed a part last min so I could have the truck running for the weekend! Special thanks to Sid for helping coordinate parts and the works Fair Price Above Standard Service Awesome Crew On Time Highly Recommended

Chris and his team did a great job on some major repairs for my van. They gave me an estimate and Chris took the time to go over it with me before I agreed to have the work done. They went above and beyond just good service. I asked a lot of questions and needed some special attention. Their courtesy driver was very efficient and I enjoyed my ride home. I highly recommend this company. It's my 2nd time using them and they did a great job with both of my cars.

These guys are really great. They were very upfront, down to earth, and honest about what all my car needed, what was necessary, what could wait, and what they recommend. They gave me their honest opinion that I'd be better off selling my car then slowly sinking a few hundred or a few grand here or there for something that wouldn't last another year. They didn't try to lead me on or suggest temporary fixes, like I've experienced with other places. They spoke to me like I was a person not a wallet. I will definitely be going back with my newer safer car, because I know what I'm getting.

I had an excellent experience with Austin Auto Specialists. I was grateful that Chris took me in quickly when my Mercedes’ air conditioning went out on a 90+ degree day. They were prompt and professional in all their communication with me, fixed the problem at a reasonable cost, and treated me very respectfully. It was a refreshing, first-class experience. I usually go exclusively to the Mercedes Benz dealership for repairs and maintenance, but these folks have won me over.
