I was originally going to Axent to have them install tires that I was going to purchase from a different source, but instead, Joseph found some Bridgestone tires for me at $55 each! They installed my tires, I got an alignment, and my state inspection, all for under $450!! I'm a super happy customer! On top of it all, they had it ready for me the same day and were honest and communicated with me about everything! I asked them to give me a brake estimate as well. I had taken my car to North Austin and was told that all my brakes needed to be replaced immediately at an estimate of $600. Axent looked at my brakes and said, they still had few more thousand miles on them and didn't need to be replaced right away. I WILL however, take it to Axent when I'm ready to get my brakes replaced! Thanks Axent!! read more

Bought my 2005 Excursion from these guys and had some mods done to it. These guys have got to be the best shop that I have found in decades. Customer service is key...and these guys have it. If your looking to get tossed around like a number...This is not your shop! If you want to be treated with respect and honesty.... then kick back and relax and let these guys solve your problems. Allowing someone to work on my vehicle can be one of the most stressful decisions for me..( I know my way around a vehicle) these guys got it going on! Thumbs up! read more

As a young woman who doesn't know anything about cars, I'm normally intimidated and nervous about going to an auto shop worried that I'll get ripped off. I have never felt that way here. All the employees are amazing. They take the time to walk me though what they are doing and watch the charges are. They make me feel confident and knowledgeable about what needs to be fixed. Their prices are also fair and they are speedy. I HIGHLY recommend Accent Auto. They're great people and do great work for a great price. read more

Very helpful and friendly. My car needed other work, but they simply made me aware of it without trying to upsell me on it. Also obliged me on looking at one of the cars they had for sale. Very respectful and helpful all around. read more

Been to Eddy's shops a few times . Great service dropped my car off today to get the breaks fixed they fixed it 2 hours ahead of schedule. Great shop no cheap shit done here, just quality work and honest opinion and price. read more

These guys are so nice! Checked my brakes for free and when I got an oil change a couple weeks ago they didn't try and up charge me on anything! Thanks! read more

Had a wonderful experience at this dealership! George (who is the owner) was very kind and understand throughout the whole process. I had tried to get approved other places and was turned down. George made me feel at ease and got me approved just like he said he would. The 2009 Mercedes ML 350 that I bought is in immaculate condition and the carfax report came back perfect. Always serviced at the Mercedes dealership and only 2 owners. I couldn't have asked for a better vehicle or better people to help me. Thanks George and everyone at Accent Auto! read more

See all

I would give them 0 stars if I could. Do not take your car here. They are extremely rude and I've never experienced worse costumer service. They have had my car for a month now haven't even bothered to return my calls. They told me my car would be ready in two weeks! They gave me a quote that increased by 2000 dollars when they saw the check my insurance gave me. Please don't go here! You will regret it. read more

I had a phenomenal experience with Axent Auto. Staff is professional, knowledgeable and HONEST, Perhaps most importantly, they took the time to explain what they were doing with my vehicle and why. Today's experience was uniquely superior in terms of quality, atmosphere, and customer satisfaction. The AXent Auto staff is genuinely in the business of delivering excellence. I spoke with both management and mechanics alike; they are dedicated, knowledgeable, and professional and will be successfully serving Austin for many years to come because management fully embraces a most simple premise: Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you can give to others." That sums up Axent Auto, which is a rare find! Thank you AXcent! read more

I bought a second hand SUBURU from Axent Auto and they have helped keep it on the road with professional application of diagnostic and repair skills.I commend them to anyone either seeking a car,or needing to keep your car maintained and functioning.Excellent and intelligent local service!Friendly,too! read more

FRAUD ALERT!!! FRAUD ALERT!!!! A few wks ago a man came in my store selling large laminated discount cards for Axent Auto''s two locations(they seemed legit,the cards even had photos of the Axent staff). I bought one for 40 bucks. Today i called to set up an appointment with them and a man with a mid-east accent answered the phone and then proceeded to tell me he had no intention of honoring the card. He suggested i call the number on the card for a refund. Called the number and got some guy's voicemail. I doubt i'll hear back from them. THESE GUYS ARE SCUM-OF-THE-EARTH CROOKS! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! I will be notifying the Better business bureau of this fraudulent activity. read more

I came to this place after a recommendation from a friend. I called on my way over to ask how long it would take to do an oil change, tire rotation, and state inspection. They told me less than an hour, which was great as everywhere else in town seemed to be much longer on the busy day. Sure enough, I arrived as the only customer in the waiting room. When I asked the man up front about how long it would take for the oil change, tire rotation, and inspection, he said 40 minutes, but they had just run out of state inspection stickers. I badly need an oil change, and figured I could take care of the inspection another time, so I agreed to wait, and was happy to do so. About 20 minutes later, a woman came in to ask for a state inspection. They seemed to know each other. The same guy informed her that they had just ran out of stickers, and she acted disappointed, but not upset, and asked him who else they would recommend going to. She also admitted that she didn't have her proof of insurance on her, which means that legally she could not have passed a Texas state inspection. He then poked his head out into the garage and yelled out to ask if they still had the one inspection sticker left. I was sitting there and could obviously hear him as he was able to confirm that they did in fact have a sticker left. He then told the woman that he would be happy to inspect her car. While I was able to get my oil changed and tires rotated quickly and without issue, for an affordable price, I was very put off by the person working the desk lying to me about being out of inspection stickers, and then openly giving one he knew he had to a customer who came in well after me. Based on the other reviews here, it seems like if you are a regular customer, you get treated well. Sure, this was my first time to come here, but I would have loved to have become a regular customer if the business was good. I won't ever be back, and I won't be recommending it to any friends. read more

the place is a complete joke and so shady. not only did they fix nothing on the two vehicles i purchased from them but one has been in the shop for 6 weeks now and i had driven it only 1 week!!! do not drive off the lot or sign anything until everything is fixed or get it in writing they will rip you off given the chance. To top it off george gave me a loaner vehicle after 3 weeks of no car then abruptly needs it back and threatens to file it stolen if i didnt return it that day, biggest problem i had with that was i just had my first born BABY boy 3 DAYS AGO! now i have nothing to drive him in and knowing this george still requested the car back with mine still in the shop going on week 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PEOPLE Update: After 12 weeks in the shop the finance company decided not to finance it because the car was too problematic so George did not return my deposit of $3500 he said it was a repo even though the bank would not let me make a payment until it got out of the shop. He is a theif plane and simple id make sure you do your research on him before buying and look at the laundry list of lawsuits. read more

Without a doubt the best, most personal service you will receive from an auto shopt in Central Texas. Ive taken my car (2000 Saturn) here for the past 4 years. Quality work everytime. What makes the experience with Axent even better....you will often hear the owner and his family (family owned shop) say, "We help people. We are in the people business." read more

Bought a Groupon for an oil change. I went on Christmas Eve w/ a 9am appointment. I arrived early & they actually took me in at 8:45 (thank you Jesus)! This is a family owned business and I get exceptional service every time!! They closed down their south Lamar location but this Ben White location is larger and better suited for this growing family business. They only took 20 mins for my oil change and they did a great job! Ps. You get 10% off car body services if you check in via yelp! read more

Great service! Very trustworthy! They always see me quickly and I am always 100% happy with the work that's done. Ask for Eddie. He's the best! read more

My wife and I bring our cars here whenever we need a repair. Joseph and the crew take good care of us and our cars. Excellent service.

Great service and professional staff. They worked exactly as an auto place should - friendly, informative and efficient.

I always come to Axent for all my vehicles needs. They're always extremely helpful, quick, and a trustworthy company. The manager Joseph is always also always so friendly, makes it easy to sit and pass time while waiting on your car. read more

Been here several times for my girlfriends car. They always have great service and quick turnaround. Thanks guys!

I took my car in to get an oil change, fluid check, and tire rotation and it all went well- except for the fact that they didn't add any water for my windshield wipers..? I know how to do it, but purposefully left it empty thinking I would get it done by them.. Maybe that doesn't include fluid check but to me it should! read more

I first used these guys to change my oil at their Lamar facilities and had a great experience back then. They have since closed that location and I'm here at the Ben White location. They kept my appointment time imagine that! That alone warrants five stars from me! They are very friendly and accommodating. I even had a Groupon and got the same great service. Eddie explained my options about an issue my car is having with no high pressure sales tactics. He was knowledgeable, fast, friendly and efficient. I appreciate this kind of service and will be back with or without a Groupon. read more

These guys are awesome. Fast service. And they don't try to upsell anything. They do what you want and got me out in less than 15 minutes for an inspection. read more

I came here because I had a Groupon. Nice staff, clean place and quick service! Will come back.

I went in with a Groupon and thought everything went fine, until I came back and saw that the latch of my glove box was broken. I called to Joseph, and he said that it was not his mistake. He said he may have a look at it, but didn't admit its his fault. Then he started saying that he is the owner of the shop and why would he lie. A simple statement admitting even a possible fault would have been good. The problem didn't end here. Today a week after, I opened the hood of the car and saw the gasket connecting the air filter hoses is not connected leaving a gap. It is hard to explain this, but think of it as a missing connector in the engine (non essential for a few days at least) missing. This is simply hopeless. I would never come here again. Do yourself a favor and don't waste money even on the Groupon read more

Went in for a simple oil change/inspection and left with good service. Everything checked out fine and no issues.

The customer service was good. The guy that helped me was nice and helpful. I paid almost $100 to have them do a full inspection of a vehicle, before I purchased it. They found two things wrong with it, not a big deal. I took it to a different shop after I bought it (the second shop is closer to where I live, I can walk there). They found that the wheel baring is bad and fairly close to giving out. Not quite sure how they missed that, seeing as I paid $100 to have them do a full inspection. Customer service is good but not too happy about them missing that. Inspections shouldn't be that expensive anyway, especially if you're going to miss things. read more

Went for oil change and get tires rotated. Called the number first and the man said he would call me when he opened at 8am. Waited for him to call, but he did not, so I called back at 10am to schedule a time for the services. They were thorough and helpful. read more

They tried selling me a TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE. They make you think that they are showing you ALL of the facts on the car but for some reason the website they show you the facts with, hides stuff! My bank called me to tell me that the car is Total loss and luckily saved me from making a horrible decision. Even worse that they truly acted like they weren't trying to screw me over and then never even called me back. They should have to find me a car with a CLEAN record for me spending so much time invested into one TOTAL LOSS CAR read more

I Really Really appreciate everything Accent Auto did for me and my car. Eddy and Steven went above and beyond to help me fix my car after a previous mechanic had completely destroyed it. I picked my car up broken from a mechanic that said he could do everything I needed done for my car and I did not know where to take it or what to do next. I was freaking out, then a good friend recommended Accent Auto. So I called and from the very start Eddy was great. He made me feel at ease and told me not to worry because he could fix everything that the other mechanic had broke. The customer service at Accent Auto is the best that I have ever seen, they really care about their customers and keep you up to date on what is happening with your car while it is in their shop. Steven the mechanic that was working on my car fixed everything that was broken with my car and I could not be happier with the way my car turned out. I have not had any issues with the work they did on my car and I am extremely satisfied with the work and the customer service at Accent Auto. Now that I have found this place I will not be taking my cars anywhere else! read more

Long gone are the days of one on one service. Going places where people remember you when you come in? Not true. I have been bringing my car to Axent Auto for the last two years, after a friend had boasted about them, and every time I come in I feel at home. This is my go to place for oil changes, tire service, brakes and basic trouble shooting and car inspections. Unlike other car places, you don't get that feeling that they are trying to screw you over marking up prices or doing unnecessary work. Yes, car repair is expensive in general but you get a good explanation of what is going and what they can do. read more

I never write reviews but this deserves one. By far the WORST mechanic experience I've ever had. Brought my car in twice before and everything seemed fine. So I went back again because it was cheaper than other mechanics...now I know why. I had a check engine light on so I stopped by auto zone and had them read the code....came back spark plugs...ok fine. So brought the car in for a tune up. I had already bought the spark plugs, wires, etc. They got me in the next morning and said it would be ready the same day. No call...all day. So I call back at 5pm when they are about to close and get "oh yea, it's been ready". Awesome. I get there, pay for it, and get in to notice that the freaking dash isn't even screwed back on...so they come out and fix that. Then I get about 1/4 mile when my check engine light starts FLASHING...then my A/C cuts out and the car is SHAKING when I idle. I brought it back and told them what was going on. I find it very hard to believe that the mechanic did not notice the shaking and flashing light when he drove it out of the garage...it was BAD. Anyway, It takes them most of the day to "diagnose" it and I have to call back to get an answer. They are now giving me some long-winded story about how the timing chain is stretched out!? What?! Well I have a 5 hour drive ahead of me the next day for work so I have no choice but to leave it so they can fix it and RENT a vehicle. I'm told it will definitely be ready by Monday and they will call me. They quoted me $650 to replace the timing chain which is very cheap. So Today is Tuesday and I call them up (because no one called me of course). They say that it is ready, so I go to get it. I ask to see that it is fixed first and requested the old timing chain so I could see how it was "stretched out". He says OK and that he will be out to look at it with me in a minute. I turn on the car and everything seems fine . It's running like it was BEFORE the tune up. When the guy comes out he tells me that they didn't actually have to replace the timing chain (because I asked for it) and that all they had to do was do a timing "adjustment" whatever that is. Ok great, less money right? My bill is still $425 and I see that they charged me $94 for new spark plugs!!!?? I BROUGHT IN NEW SPARK PLUGS AND YOU ALREADY REPLACED THEM!! He says he replaced them with better ones (which I did not ask for) so I told him to go and get my brand new spark plugs that I brought in so I could take them back to auto zone. He disappears for a minute then comes back and says he can't find them. OH MY GOD. I finally lost it and he finally says he will take the spark plugs off the bill. I'm still out $300 plus a car rental for whatever the hell they did do....I don't even know if they actually replaced anything. I have talked to several people who know cars and they all say that what happened with the shuddering and the flashing light is exactly what would happen if the spark plugs were done wrong. My guess is sabotage then pretend to be nice by charging less to "fix" it. I had previously brought my car in for an inspection and they said the power steering pump was bad...now I'm wondering if that was true. I've probably lost thousands of dollars to these criminals. Don't get sucked in by the "niceness". They are vipers. read more

I stopped by yesterday and got an appointment for first thing today. I come in and got helped right away! The tech, Paul, even took the time to show and explain how my belt is starting to go bad and gave me a quote to shop around to replace it. Total time was about 45 minutes but that included a full inspection, an explanation of what needed work, and the oil change itself. Thanks guys! read more

Let me first say I found this place a couple years ago after spending a Saturday trying to find someone to do an inspection. I called and talked with Eddy and I was there within 15mins. It took a little longer than normal since they had to get an oil filter, but for the wait he discounted my wiper blades which needed to be replaced. I also had them do the brakes on my car and him and his team did such a great job, no issues. Then when I needed another oil change he didn't charge me at all! Then I had a mishap with my car--- I ran it off the road in the rain. Bent two control arms, needed new tires, an alignment, and new rim. Instead of easily telling me a rim would be $300+ he told me to check on eBay, bring it to him and he would put it on my car. Sure enough I called all over town and couldn't find one for less than $250. Found one on eBay for $140 he put it on my car for free, redid the alignment and he also fixed my splash guard under my car ! This is an awesome place if you need some work done. I can't say enough about the place. Take your car here!!! It's best to call and make an appointment. read more

This is the only place that has ever charged me extra for a "required premium filter" during an oil change. I've had my oil changed twice since then elsewhere with no up charge. In addition, the atmosphere was unprofessional, with the owner complaining openly about his business fallouts with his previous partner and other things that simply made the whole experience awkward. Avoid. read more

Bought a Car from them and then I had to fix it. I let them repair it and they didn't fix it right. I call and they put me on hold and then don't answer when I call back. They will make you car worse than it was when it first came in. I would not buy a car from them ever again or take my care there for any repairs. They are a bunch of lieing people and I do not recommend buying or getting your car repaired there. You have been warned. read more

The experience I had here was nothing short of awesome, honest and trustworthy. I don't have the best credit but Eddie wanted to make sure he could get me into something no matter the circumstances and he definitely did! I went there not knowing what I wanted and ended up driving off in a 2016 Toyota Corolla and couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thanks for the best car buying experience and making it as easy as possible! read more

Received an oil change. It was very timley, checked all fluid levels, and rotated my tires. Even took off the underpanning of my car as a favor because it was halfway off. I'm happy Groupon led me here. I will be coming back. read more

Although I have not done business with George yet, I know I will. I so appreciate his direct, clear communication without judgment. He let me know all options available to me and even agreed to work with me on the repair of my existing car. read more

I love this shop. They take great care of you and will make sure you are aware of everything before fixing it. They also let you know what needs to be done right away and what can be scheduled out. I will not take my care anywhere but to axxent auto. read more
