As noted I had only had excellent experience previously at A&B. Ash - owner and business coordinator, went above and beyond to make things right. As a whole, a very reasonable and fair service provider. I think the high demand and turn over can let in some less than professional folks who are not fair mouthpieces for the business. I would feel confident in returning to service with the agreement to have another mechanic do the work. read more

Amazing work, excellent service & communication skill. Got a couple of delays but the reason for that is valid like shipping. Everyone was nice and friendly, and is willing to figure things out for those who is on a really tight schedule.10/10, highly recommend read more

Bad experience with these guys today. I take both my foreign cars there to be serviced. Always goes very well. Owner is cool. Today I got stranded down in Westlake area and had to have my vehicle towed. Also had my sick 15 month toddler with me. Here's why. . Had a large screw in my tire. I have a 2018 Porsche Macan and the spare needs to be inflated. I don't have a compressor. I told Juan I'm going to have to use a sealant in order to drive my car to the ship. Juan was rude to me. Told me not to use sealant to avoid " getting that mess all over my machine. " really? I don't do business with selfish and rude people. I'll take my 2 vehicles elsewhere. Excellent customer service is the absolute most important aspect of doing business for me. read more

Horrible waste of time and money. Nobody working could give me basic answers about my vehicle- and after keeping it all weekend, I found out they never even started! Refused to give me my keys unless I paid. Reply: several techs were given the green light multiple times to do this work. read more

*AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE* Well I brought my vehicle here the first time to get the alternator replaced and all went well so I decided to bring the vehicle back for more repairs . Plus they have a cat and I love cats ... Let's just say I drove the vehicle there running and within 2 days the car had to be towed out of there . I made a tiktok video of the whole experience and i'll try to share the link below . If I am unable to share the link just look it up with my name and you'll find it. So in the first video you'll see I am picking the car up from the business after the harmonic balancer was supposedly " fixed" and I record the sounds before driving it off the lot after hours. I call the next morning and they said to bring it back at 10am . Well before I am able to bring it back the car breaks down. I show in pictures and video that everything was still intact except the belt. I then towed the vehicle back to them. After they look at the vehicle they said the AC compressor was dangling basically by a thread and that 3 of the 4 bolts had broken off into the block . That is untrue considering I took many pictures of the ac compressor just moments before the tow truck came to get my vehicle and it was still intact. I couldn't afford to fix the car because the price was unknown and they couldn't promise they would be successful in attempting to fix the car. The worst part (besides the car not being able to run and that the car smelt like cigarettes and was covered in oil) is that when I had the car towed back home the ac compressor was not secured and was dangling to the ground . I had car parts in my front seat and they kept my hardware(bolts) from the ac compressor which are hard to find because my car is 17 years old . I believe they kept the bolts on purpose so I wouldn't have evidence. I sent my ex up there while they were working on the car and he said the bolts looked like it was cut at a 45 degree angle . Bolts dont just break like that . I will be calling today to get my bolts back or they can buy new bolts . Either way I need the hardware . I ended up having to buy a new car . *LADIES DONT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE . ESPECIALLY IF YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS * I should have went to our family mechanic but he is all the way in Austin off Lamar . Im sure the business will reply with some smart ass comment trying to defend themselves. Their mistake cost me $12,600 in the end and trust me when I say I didn't have it hence why my car is 17 years old . Always take pictures and videos of your journey when going anywhere . Paper trail is always good to have as evidence because with mechanics it's their word against yours . The pictures are in order and captioned . As for the videos of the sounds you'll see that on the tiktok video . https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8YpcwMg/ read more

Normally don't have any issues with A&B but in this case they really dropped the ball. Charged me $500 for a door switch that cost $24.99 online. I called and got a crazy explanation, which changed several times. Just a phone call to me before they got this item would have solved the whole thing (because I wouldn't have authorized the part or work). Probably looking for a new place to take the cars. Funny, the owner just called and instead of an apology.... defended the fact that they charged me $500 for a $25 part. All I wanted was transparency on what they were fixing...essentially they charged the same as the dealership (same one as where I bought the car and they got the part). Learned an important lesson though...don't assume that A&B will be looking out for your best interest when fixing/charging you for auto repair. read more

I have taken my car there 3 times! First time I was happy. Second time they found out what was wrong and found out what another noise was that was coming from my car. Third time they fixed everything I had an issue with. I will 100% choose them over Firestone any time!! They're extremely friendly and respectful!!! If you need something done to your car, then this is the place to go to, no questions asked. They made my every experience freaking amazing and perfect!! read more

Great experience overall. Made an appointment for early morning, done as promised by early afternoon. Cost reasonable and within range of estimate. Fixed the window problem perfectly. Highly recommended. read more

Awesome staff, always friendly and helpful. Never pressured to do anything that might not be needed. I HIGHLY recommend them for car services. read more

Service was horrible, i came here just to get a rounded 8mm bolt off and they tried for over 2 hours to get it off. They supposedly welded a bolt to take it off. they showed me the work in progress and i saw no weld marks!! I am positive that these "experts" could have a taken out a measly rounded bolt. Obvious could have taken out the bolt but you rather make it seem like its impossible so you can change the whole part just to try and charge me more but thank you for the discount . Thats what you guys get for trying catch me. read more

They took over 6 weeks to diagnose the car needed a new engine. Had us buy over $600 in parts before they came to that diagnosis. They kept saying the car would be ready on Friday. After getting upset with them they told me to come pickup my vehicle or they would have it towed and impounded! They do not care about the customer. read more

Just moved to the area and needed a car inspection. Walked in without an appointment. Inspection was quick and easy. The guys working here are friendly and are thorough and informative with what you need done to your car. They provided the vehicle inspection report without any hassles. Tip for those coming out of state: make sure you transfer your auto insurance over to Texas as they will ask for proof of this before starting work! read more

Been taking my car to this guys since I moved to Texas 4 years ago. I couldn't be more happier with their service. Juan and staff are great guys who take care of my car when needed. I would totally recommend them. read more

Long story short, my hybrid Ford escape broke down in Grapevine Tx. I towed it to a Ford dealership, they told me it was going to cost over $11,000 to replace my Hybrid battery. I called A&B (they have worked on this vehicle before) and they told me they didn't think that the hybrid battery was bad, they even went so far as to call the dealership and ask them what the codes were. After some vague information from the dealership, they suggested I have the car towed to their shop for a free diagnosis. After paying Ford almost $200 for a diagnostic fee I did just that. A&B fixed it on a Saturday and with a fresh inspection all for just over $400. These guy saved me the cost of buying a new car I honestly have never taking a vehicle to a more honest garage and they have earned a lifelong customer. read more

1. Joe is a doll. I am sure he doesn't want to be called that, being a mechanic and all, but it's the truth. 2. These guys are friendly, helpful and their prices are more than fair. Need a used tire? Go here first. Need some auto work? Go here - these guys won't steer you wrong! (Steer, get it? See what I did there? Ok, fine - it's corny I know.) We were stranded in Round Rock with a flat tire, they were right around the corner and we scored a tire for a Jeep for just $35 that was in awesome shape. Thanks, A&B!!! read more

I don't give 5-star reviews likely, but this little independent shop really does deserve top marks. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional and got my parts there quickly to service my European car. I will be going back f for brakes in a few months. read more

We won't take our vehicles anywhere else for service. It's that simple. The owner, Ashref, is a fair and honest guy who we trust, and that's the most important thing to me when choosing a mechanic. And they do great work! They even took on a specialty project for me that no other mechanic would do - they installed a winch for me on my ATV. Huge thanks to Juan and his guys on that one! read more

I've gone here twice for my OLD car (2002 VW Beetle) and they were so kind and quick and a great value! All the workers very kind and easy to work with, as well as the other customers! Everyone there was so kind and it was very refreshing to see from car place when most of the time at auto establishments they are rude and SO EXPENSIVE!! Not this place! Definitely coming here for any future service I need!:) read more

I needed my battery changed on my 2013 Ford C-Max. Many shops do not know how to work on hybrids but A&B car experts did. I brought it in the same day I called around 2 and it was done by 5. They did great work and were very friendly and honest. Highly recommend as I will be going back if I need any other work done! Thanks!!! read more

Horrible, I could go on for hours. But it don't want to spend anymore time then they already took from me. Still not fixed

Came to A&B for a simple state registration inspection. Was happy they were using measures to provide safety during COVID. Friendly service! Got in and out fairly quick! read more

Juan and crew were so awesome! We were passing through, on the way home from a mission trip in Houston when one of our vehicles had misfiring issues... we called one of the ONLY mechanics open on the Saturday of July 4th weekend... they were willing and ready for us... we got there and in less than 2 hours we were back on the road! I have no doubt, we were led there! Thank you, thank you! ~ Tina Glass. Director of Youth Ministries, Sierra Vista UMC, San Angelo, Tx!! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. A&B may look like a busy, overcrowded neighborhood repair garage. However, the true judging of this facility is not based on curb appeal, but, on their ability to perform a multitude of complex repair issues including exceptional body repair. Recently I needed to have repairs done due to an unwelcomed meeting my wife had with a FedX truck. My Insurance company estimated the repairs over $2000 short of what was truly needed. Thanks to A&B and their comprehensive assessment and experience working with major Insurance carriers they acquired the extra funds and completed the repair on time and on budget. A&B may be a neighborhood repair facility, however, their capabilities and customer-focused raise them above other shops where you are just a number and an invoice. And thats no Bull! read more

Excellent service from Juan. Honest and dependable. He helped me with a roadside emergency on a busy day. Saved my car from further damage. Great work! read more

These guys are always timely and honest about my car. I have gone to them for about a year now, and they have never once tried to up sell me on anything; I get oil changes and that's it. At most places, I feel like they're always telling you how badly you "need to replace your filter or your car might explode." Not with these guys! One time, I went in to get an oil change knowing the pressure in my tires was super low. I didn't mention anything because I kind of wanting to test them. YEP! They caught it! They filled the air in my tires for me and then said I should get new tires pretty soon. (I knew that too and was also glad they mentioned it.) They are thorough and they care. I will go to them as long as I live in Austin/RR area!! read more

Ashraf and his guys take care of me every time. I trust him 100% with his recommendations. A&B changed the tires on my Hyundai Sonata and they've been great. They've fixed the A/C in my Hyundai after taking it to another garage where they only temporarily fixed the issue. Needless to say I go to Ashraf and his team. I've also serviced my mother's Ford Fusion Hybrid and my good old Astro Van. Thank you for the great service. read more

Being a woman isn't easy to find in honest mechanics, since the first time Ashraf and his crew taking care my care with a such a respect and friendly service, always work ONLY what is necessary at that moment nothing more, today my car broke down and he help me more and beyond I ever spect. The sad part my car ended In the dealership cause the warranty, otherwise the shop will take care the problem. But for sure the dealership can't charge more. Thank you so much Ashraf and crew. read more

So grateful for the outstanding service here. Juan was not only patient and helpful, he was trustworthy. I'm clueless about cars and they could have told me I needed the gonculator replaced for $1,000 and I would have been like, "OK." Instead, he took great care to test the least costly solution to my problem and Lo and behold, it worked! He explained everything to me in a way I could understand. And you can tell they have a good workplace culture because everyone is nice and seems to be enjoying their job. And there's a cat. Ok, I'm done. Just go there! read more

I was very impressed with the service I got at A&B. I went in for a routine oil change and tire rotation and was helped quickly. The service took about an hour. The best part was that I wasn't bullied into any extra services. I told them what I wanted, and they gave me just that. When a problem arose with my car, they took me into the garage to show me the problem, but let me decide how to handle it without pressuring me into one decision or the other. At $45, the oil change and tire rotation was a bit more expensive than going to Jiffy Lune or another chain mechanic, but getting honest and courteous treatment is worth it to me. read more

Very honest reviews. I came from dealer who told me my Prius need brake replacement and oil leak. Ashraf inspected it very carefully and told me there is nothing wrong with my car and did not charge me anything. He taught me how to replace cabin air filter and I did it myself to save lots of money by buying parta from auto zone. I trust Ashraf and I will bring all my cars. read more

Very Best there is! Savings of hundreds and even thousands of dollars off dealer and other shop's prices for my foreign cars. Honesty and integrity is a given here. Ashraf is the best and most honest mechanic you will ever find! Glenn Alterman read more

Brought my 04 maxima in. Quick service, no up sell, no bs and a fair price. Highly recommend.

I take all my cars here and trust this place 100% to get the work done right and at a fair price. I have had everything from just an oil change to a full engine swap and it's been down right and they stand behind their work. read more

Ashraf is the best mechanic I've ever had. He is honest, will work with you, and I trust him implicitly with my car. I'm so sad to be moving out of the area because I know I will never find another mechanic as good as he is. read more

Let me start by saying that I have taken my vehicle in on three occasions and have spent close to 2 grand there. I have had mixed experiences, one good, one meh and on that is the reason I am posting this review.I had taken my truck in on a Monday morning for a check engine light. $350.00 and 4 days later, I called to see if my vehicle was done. The work had been completed, but I never received a call from A&B. I told the employee on the phone to put the key under the floor mat, because I would not be able to get there before they closed. He said, "I will make sure that I get the key there before we close." I walked over there about a mile from my home to get to A&B. No big deal, that's on me. I ended up getting there about 20 minutes after they closed, only to find my truck in the back lot, with the passenger window down, the doors unlocked and no key in sight...anywhere. So I walked to the front of the building and notice the lights are on the open sign is still flashing and there is a cat inside. I called their phone number and knocked on the door repeatedly. No answer. There was nothing I could do at this point, so I walked back home. My experience has been an inconvenience, and I can't trust a company that doesn't keep their word or show any respect for my property. read more

I enjoy doing my own car work, however sometimes things don't go quiet right and I end up needing someone more experienced. Such was the case when the bolt on my catalytic converter broke. As the bolt is pressed in it was much more difficult to work with. After several hours of using a punch on the bolt, drilling, and using torches I decided it was time to give up and call a professional. I showed up early next morning at A&B, a recommendation from a friend, and Ashraf got my car up and immediately started work on it. In less than an hour he was done. He had a great attitude, was easy to work with, and had a reasonable rate. I am very happy with A&B Car Experts. read more

These guy were great every step of the way. My car was towed to them and if fixed its self in the way!! They didn't charge me anything and still gave me advice and local places to buy parts. They do the right thing every time! Thank you read more

BEST AUTO CARE PLACE IN ROUND ROCK!!! Everytime I have an issue, I call around to get quotes & I always end up here. They have saved me so much money! Not to mention the quality of work is the same or even better than the bigger places. I have decided this is the only place I will take my car. The guys are very friendly & tell you if they find something else wrong, but without pressuring you. Very professional service! read more

Excellent knowledge about cars, honest at a very reasonable price, you can't possible have it any better. I took My Son's 2006 Dodge charger to have front end work and alignment after I have took it to two different places and got a high estimate, a friend of mine told me about this place and that I should check it out, so I did!!!. Friendly guys, honest they showed me what is wrong with the car and kind of knew how much it would cost from previous estimates from two different places. So, I got the best type of parts which are made by moog and they have a life time warranty and their price let me say, it's about 40% less than the two places I took it to. I am extremely happy with the service I got and defiantly will go back, they got my business. I would recommend giving them a shot and trying it for yourself, I promise you will not regret it. read more

Nice guys they are, but they will take your money without using it on parts that you paid for. My car was in worse shape when I got it back from them than before. Please do not go here at all. I hope they see this too!!!! I would give 0 stars, or negative! read more
