My daughter is a UTSA student living away from home. She calls me and says her 2018 Hyundai Elantra…read morewon't start but she knows of a mechanic close to her apartment. She has her car towed to Chad Miller Auto Care and calls me to say she needs a new battery and is being quoted $645. I ask her to hand her phone to an employee, and when I asked why this is so expensive the employee raised their voice at me. I asked for a manager and was informed it was Chad himself I was talking to. I would NOT suggest this mechanic. He is unprofessional and perpetuates the negative stereotype of crooked mechanics preying on young women.

So I read good things about this place. From what I read, they seemed like they knew what they were…read moredoing and maybe they do, but of the two vehicles I took there, both over 10 years old and with a variety of problems, they were able to fix some things,but not all. Mine has an oil leak at least 4 different places haven't been able to figure out. Chad's garage gave me some hope, but they were never able to fix it. I take pretty much all "guarantees" with a grain of salt. "Bring it back"...pffft why would I? You couldn't fix it the First time? More likely, I'll just be dumping more money in sonl you can "half fix it" a 2nd time. One mechanic even told my wife to "hit the dash when her A/C wasn't kicking on...AFTER they fixed it. GTFO... Really!? Cost wasn't exactly on the cheap side...maybe fair, but ONLY if they fix the problem. My impression is they had way more cars than they could handle and were trying to rush them outa there. Fair enough, but I will not be taking either of ours back. Fair warning to those that do.

Having a European car in the Texas Hill Country can be a challenge when it comes to getting it…read moreserviced. When that car is 18 years old, the challenge is even greater. I've taken my car here for a couple of issues, one was major and pretty straight forward, the second was even more time consuming because it was much less straightforward. The crew here worked with me to source the parts I needed at a price I could afford and stuck with the problems until they were resolved. Service like this does not come cheap however the value of getting it done right the first time with a shop that will back their work after you've paid for it makes it at least reasonable. These guys are direct and perhaps more unfiltered than you may find at other shops. They are also funny and passionate about getting your car back on the road working right. I highly recommend them to you.

I was referred here by a friend and I am quite happy about it…read more My Ollady was in a drive thru and got hit on my front quarter panel by someone rushing through the parking lot, and I came here for some body work. They laid out a few options for me with or without using my insurance, and since I had a low deductible we ran it through the insurance. They were great with communicating with my adjuster and even communicated ahead of time that my return date would be 2 days later than originally anticipated, which I really appreciated. I dealt with Arthur and Belinda and they were both fantastic. I even had them do an oil change while it was there and they washed and vacuumed it before returning it! The extra detailing and care they put into the job was amazing and I'll definitely use them again. Thanks so much y'all!!!!

Oh, did I mention that the front end alignment was half the price that competitors were charging? Well it was, and that helped out a lot.

Brought in my 2000 mercury grand marquis originally to replace the torque converter but after…read morediscussing it further, I decided to overhaul the transmission. The beginning of the process was pretty easy. The guy in the office was informational and seemed to know cars. Told me about a lot pricing and parts and the overhaul was pretty cheap because of the car I had. With it now being about a month after the replacement, I'd say they did pretty good. Definitely an upgrade from what it was before. Plus their inspection is pretty thorough so you can get an idea of how the rest of your car is doing. The only problem I had was the timing. I was told the job SHOULD be done in 7-10 business days. Now I know it's guess work to determine timing but the INSPECTION got finished on the 8th or 9th day. Then I unexpectedly had to wait another 2 weeks for the job to be done. I don't have a problem with waiting. It kind of a part of the business transaction but to underestimate the time that much was definitely impactful to me as a customer. I'm lucky to have my parents. Overall, after the finished job, I'd say this place is better than any big corporate office where you are greeted with a robot over the phone and then charge you the value of your car for an inspection.

I brought it back to them. "Your safety is my number one priority." - Pete The second time he gave it back to me the car had a used wheel bearing from another car in it that is covered in rust (verified this from an ASE master mechanic who took the wheel off and inspected it), my windshield was cracked, my car was out of alignment, brakes were very squishy, my E-brake did not work at all, and my wheel that had the work done on it is now making a very loud POP! every time I go over any type of bump on the road with it. (I had gotten my car aligned less than 6 months prior and the steering wheel was perfectly strait when driving strait) "Your safety is my number one priority." - Pete After bringing my car back to at least have the brakes bled and the E-brake tightened, Pete was not there so I had to call him to figure out who to talk to in order to be helped. He told me to ask for a particular mechanic (forgot his name) who should be working there. I went around and asked the mechanics if any of them were who he told me to ask for and they all brushed me off and shrugged their shoulders. Finally, he just told me to just hand the phone to one of the guys because he knew they were toying with me. I tried and tried and tried to keep giving this shop the benefit of the doubt. To be patient and understanding. But the reality of the situation is they charged me full price for a rusty part that they had lying around their car lot and messed up more with my car than they "fixed". I still do not feel safe driving this car. "Your safety is my number one priority." - Pete
