The most honest mechanics I have ever worked with. I have taken my car here twice for brake pad replacements and both times they were transparent about what services I needed, and they will take the time to fully explain to you why they recommend the services that they do. Recently I came in to replace the rear brake pads because my Mini Cooper gave an automatic warning to replace them based on mileage. I brought it to Auto 7 Tech; rather than simply replacing the pads they inspected it and actually told me that the pad thickness was fine and that I didn't need to replace them yet - the prioritized being honest over getting me to pay for potentially unnecessary service. However when I went to pick my car up, they let me know that they had inspected more closely and found that the inner surface on the left pad was indeed worn down. I appreciate this attention to detail and transparency. I also asked them if I needed to replace the rotors, and they told me that they had driven the car around and concluded that the rotors didn't need replacement (in contrast two other shops insisted on bundling the pad replacement and the rotor replacement). In my experience Auto 7 also gives very fair pricing compared to other shops. At Auto7 they will inspect your car carefully and thoroughly before recommending service, and they will not try to upsell you or take advantage of you. read more

INSPECTION ONLY. DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE WORK ON YOUR CAR. went to another shop to check their work because my car wouldn't stop making noise , i was able to find out that the screws were LOOSE. The owner even told me to get my car checked somewhere else and come back to get it fixed... who does that? read more

This review concerns the annual state inspection service at Auto 7 Tech, just west of Mopac off Parmer Lane in North Austin. We live nearby and have used Auto 7 Tech exclusively for our state inspections for the past several years. Our experience has been fast and snag-free each time, so we keep coming back. Generally, the wait is brief or non-existent if you arrive when they open for the day at 9 am. Keep in mind, this is a family-owned, independent small business, so occasionally, life may get in the way of perfect service. For example, on my last visit, the shop was not open until the owner showed up at 9:10am to unlock the doors, but he then got right to work on my inspection. I was out of there by 9:30 am, still better than I would have done at one of the big box stores. Even better, my inspection result was immediately uploaded to the state's system so I could immediately order my new window sticker with no issue. Thanks, Auto 7 Tech! read more

Mohammed is such a cool guy. We were clients due to the inspections but now we take our cars there just because the price is right and they are very prompt. He is a life saver! read more

Had my front axel and struts replaced here. 1 month later and our car has zero issues after the repair. The owner was very kind and professional. His team did a fantastic job and I will return for more car work in the future. I was recommended to come here by many people. Glad I did!! Thank you. read more

Professional, friendly and honest. Would absolutely return! Did a same day drop off for brakes and an oil change. read more

I have known the owner and his family for over 15 years and me and my adult children rely on them for most of our car care needs. They are honest and very helpful with recommendations to other local businesses for any service they may not be able to provide. You can't ask for more than that honestly. I will always trust them and the prices they quote are always fair! Thank you gentlemen for all you do for your community, keeping us safe on the roads. I consider them as family! Love this little shop! Monica H., RN read more

Auto 7 saved me from going without a car, quite literally. My car started acting up randomly on a Friday afternoon and barely ran by the evening. Turns out I had a burnt sensor in my engine. I bought the sensor from Advanced Auto Parts and took it to Auto 7 to replace. I had read great reviews online and they did not disappoint. My car was taken in and fixed within an hour and costs me about $70. The owner is incredibly friendly and his son did a great job on my car. They even offered to inspect it for me too for an extra $18. This saved me a trip on a separate day. The waiting room was also very accommodating... there were vending machines with water/sodas, a tv showing the news, magazines, and comfy chairs. Overall, I'd highly recommend this shop. It's a local hole-in-the-wall operation, but above average in service. read more

I've taken my car here twice for an inspection and service. They seem to charge fair prices and provide quick service. Most recently, I dropped in without an appointment around 5PM on a Friday for an inspection. The mechanic who worked on my car completed the inspection & then explained in detail while showing me on my car what was most urgently in need of service (but not required to pass inspection). He didn't push anything, just simply explained and gave me a quote for future reference. It was something that I was also told by a mechanic in the past that I would need to get serviced soon, but I had forgotten about it. I liked his honest, straightforward approach and decided to get the service done immediately. He was able to get everything done in an hour. read more

In and out very quickly for an inspection. Gave a quote for a needed service but 0% pressure. I'll be back!

Got me in and out when I needed an inspection. The employees were nice and were quick!

As a woman, it's been tough for me to find a mechanic who I trust and I have lived in Austin for 17 years, using friends who are mechanics or driving to DFW where my cousin is one. The guys at Auto 7 Tech are super friendly, fair, helpful and hard working. The long hours also accommodate busy schedules and speak to their dedication to completing the job and doing it well. I would recommend anyone who is needing auto repair go to them. Glad to have found someone local and more importantly people who CARE! They are stuck with me now ;) read more

I usually take my BMW to the dealership just cuz. Off late since Covid BMW has been scheduling for service too many days out. On 2 separate occasions I had to get inspection done and top off the oil. Called BMW and they gave me run around with appointment. Ended up bringing my BMW to Auto 7. Both times they were very quick and took care of me right away without any appointment and got me off to work in a jiffy. One of my businesses is 2 doors down so it is a super convenient location for me. For the stuff they did for $30 BMW would have charged me $300 at least. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for good auto shop. read more

A friend told me about this local car shop that has treated her and her family well for years, so I decided to check this place out and I have to say Im so glad I did!! They are very friendly and helpful I just to support their success . I've never felt more confident that I'm in good hands. They obviously go above and beyond for their customers and I will be referring this business to everyone everywhere. read more

Auto 7 Tech - Plenty of seats and a very neat waiting area! - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

Omg this shop is saving my life! I have gone to this auto shop in the past for oil changes and inspections, and I knew they were great, but tonight's situation truly showed me how wonderful they are! My car wouldn't start when I tried to leave the Walgreens one block away on a Saturday at 5:30pm. Luckily, I saw Auto 7 was open until 7, so I walked to the shop and told them of my situation. They offered to drive me over to Walgreens and check out the car, which was so sweet! Not only that, Mo offered me an ice cold water while I waited for him to finish up at the shop before taking me to my car. When we got to the car, Mo tried everything he could to get it started, but he said the starter was dead. I have to get it towed to the shop so he can replace the starter. He told me what to say and what to ask to my insurance agent so I could get a good price on the tow, and once that was squared away, he asked if I was comfortable waiting while he ran to a store to get the necessary parts. He offered his number so we could stay in contact. By this time, it was already 7:15pm (after closing time), and Mo is waiting at the shop for my arrival with my car to get it fixed tonight. I KNOW he doesn't want to spend a Saturday night working on a starter, but he is going to stay late for me since I was planning on going on a road trip tomorrow (what timing ). All I have to say is, thank goodness for Mo and the crew at Auto 7! They really do go above and beyond for their customers, and I couldn't be more thankful! read more

Extremely nice and helpful. Made my inspection appointment a breeze. In and out in 30min! Thanks

Quick, easy, and professional! I appreciated how quickly they were able to see me, answer my questions, and send me on my way. I got my state safety inspection done. read more

Had a horrible customer experience at this place. The person at the counter was extremely rude and unhelpful. I came for a state inspection after reading some positive reviews, but now I suspect they might be fake. It was the worst experience I've ever had, as the guy seemed like he was doing me a favor. I suggest not wasting your time here!!! read more

I've been coming here for years and I certainly appreciate the honest work. Family owned businesses will always need our support!

The NICEST people! Awesome family environment and honest work. They just made me a customer of theirs for life! Highly recommend!

We got inspections for two cars today and had a great experience. The service was quick and straightforward.

I got in right away on the weekend for an inspection for my Tesla, and I was afraid I was going to have to wait. It only took a few minutes and the inspector was incredibly nice. I will come back here in the future, no doubt. read more

Very honest owners who go beyond what you could ask for. The owners had a mechanic do a thorough diagnosis on my car. Since I get my oil change done here regularly they helped me with a free tow to my apartment (close by) from where I was able to sell it. read more

I wish there were more stars to give. Muhanad treated us like family, like he's known us for decades. I'm 16 hours away but my UT Austin student needed emergency front end/suspension/axle/alignment work done on a 2007 MInI Cooper. We took a chance and could easily have been taken. He kept his store open so my daughter could get the work done. We went in blind but this shop and it's professionalism was beyond words. Was way cheaper than I anticipated and he communicates every step of the way. He really treated her like family. He worked around our timing and was finished before he said he would. Total integrity. read more

Excellent service, left my car in better shape than before my accident. They are very responsive when enquiring on the status of the vehicle. read more

Excellent and honest service. Fixed my brakes and was completely honest without adding more to what was needed. Great guys.

This review had a long time coming. I owned a 2005 Ford Escape gray. And I say this specifically so the owners know I was a legitimate customer. This shop was close by so I took it there when I was having problems with my ford. They told me the issues so I paid and got it fixed. 2 weeks go by and my ford is having issues again. So I take it back in because it was quick and easy last time and pay them to fix it. 3-4 weeks later I have more issues and have to take it in. I've never had so many problems with this car in the 5 years of owning it. And having only 115,000 miles on the car. This was the biggest bill to fix and at this point I've spent around 40% of the cars value when this final transaction was done. They said they would get right to it. After sitting in there shops for over a day and a half I call them asking what's going on with my car as I need it for my work. And they have not even looked at it. They said they ran diagnostics on the whole car and I was good to go when it was finally completed. When I came back to get it I specifically remember I think what was the owner saying, "if you have any problems you just bring it back right here" 1 day later my car breaks down completely on the highway. I get my car towed to the neighboring shop All Tune & Lube. They looked at my car and revealed that my radiator cap has been leaking and I blew a gasket further needing a new engine.My car was totaled. I told them my car was just recently looked at and repair and asked how could this have happen. They said either it has been leaking and they missed it or it just all of a sudden happening after I took it there. The fact that as I go on Yelp to write this review and I see another comment that is the same story as mine is seriously concerning. The lesson to be learned here is if you want to have your car totaled with insurance not able to help. Then this is a 5 star shop. If you want anything other than that then I would never go there. read more

don't go for anything other than an inspection. I went to get my A/C fixed and told the person the system was more than likely overcharged because the low side psi was reading well over the recommended psi and the compressor wasn't engaging as a result. I waited 30 minutes for them to tell me the exact things I already know and on top of that, they told me I need to replace my compressor which I had already replaced about 5 months ago. when I got home I checked to see if they even tried to bleed the system and found that the psi was precisely the same. I have no idea what I paid 120$ for but i know it wasn't worth it. read more

Friendly, fast, and affordable. Great people. I have had two minor repairs to my element here, and I will keep coming back.

Came here for an inspection past 7 pm, they were able to take care of me with no issues! I truly appreciate it!

I had the misfortune of bringing my car into Auto 7 tech recently. After reading both Google and Yelp reviews I felt confident bringing my car in to be serviced after experiencing issues with my clutch. It was a nightmare from start to finish. The first sign that maybe this neighborhood shop wasn't the best option was the fact that though the neon sign read open there was no one in the actual office to greet customers. I actually sat in the office for about 7 minutes then wandered outside before finding someone to help. After explaining my issue I left the keys with the owner/manager and he let me know he would give me a call back once they had an idea what was wrong and how much it would cost to fix it. They were swift once they figured the problem and I agreed to have it fixed that evening. The next morning I recieved a call that the car was ready and I thought everything was all set. Unfortunately that was only the beginning of my problems. This past Sunday when the rain began to set in I attempted to use my windshield wipers. To my dismay they wouldn't work. On any speed they just didn't move. After checking fuses and not finding a fix I decided to bring my car into a neighboring shop (wasn't thrilled with my initial experience at auto 7) to find out the issue. After running a diagnostic test and finding nothing the mechanic discovered the windshield wipers weren't working because the "wiper connector" was left disconnected. The technician then asked if anyone had been "fooling" with the connector to which I said no. I then let him know that a few weeks prior I had taken my car to another garage to have my clutch master cylinder replaced. That's when he let me know that fixing the master cylinder required the connector to be unplugged and it was left that way by the last technician. I paid the cost of the diagnostic test and brought my detailed invoice to the owner/manager at Auto 7 to request a refund. He immediately told me absolutely not! His defense was that I should have brought the car back to him and he would "take care" of me. Why on earth would I bring my car back to the shop that fixed my clutch because my wipers weren't working?? The two aren't connected and my warranty( there was no mention on my original invoice) only covered the parts and labor from the clutch. After going back and forth with him trying to reason and explain how his staff created a problem for me at no fault of my own he still wouldn't do the right thing and refund the money I paid to fix their mistake. Only after having a technician come into the office and explaining that there's a real possibility that It was in fact left disconnected did he break down ad give me a "partial" refund. I can't comment on anyone elese's experinece with this shop but there's no way I would ever recommend anyone giving this establishment their business. If they don't stand behind their work there are plenty of local shops that will. read more

I went for vehicle inspection, they completed it in 15 minutes. Highly recommend this place for the same.

This is the best mechanic in austin! Super friendly and fast service and you can trust them with your car. They always take good care of their customers I would reccomend auto 7 to anybody! They have drove me home from the shop let my girlfriend have a car to borrow while hers was being fixed, cant ask for more. read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING. I needed new brakes for my Mini Cooper and it's hard enough trying to find someone who knows what they are doing and I came across these guys. Not only did they do a FANTASTIC job but they didn't try to pull the wool over my eyes by trying to up-sell me. They gave me an honest and fair price and were so amazing to deal with. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone. My Fiance even went with me to pick up my car and got his car serviced because of how great they are. Thank you Mo and Amer so much! read more

Chris Shepard is EVERYTHING!!!! He's honest, Fair, & Knows his STUFF! He even has a wrench tattooed on him! It blows my mind! I've been having him work on my BMW & Honda's for over 6 years now & im not going anywhere!!!!! read more

Awesome! Great staff that likes what they do and are good at it. No nonsense, straight pricing. Will be back!

I took my wife's 2011 Toyota Corolla to Auto 7 for some minor body work, there was damage to the rear bumper cover and right rear fender. I had already got several quotes from various body shops in the area. The owner, Moses, and I reached a good deal on the body work, about 2/3 the price of all the others. A couple days later the work was complete and my wife's car looked great. I recommend you talk to Moses if you are getting quotes on body work, you won't be sorry you did. read more
