Had an emergency breakdown in my brake system. As an emergency responder, brakes are a necessity!!! I was told about Bobby's Automotive, I called and they were able to not only look at my issue, but called me back in a few hours later to let me know I was back in service and the price was well below anything I was thinking! Brake line fixed and I'm back in service! Thanks Bobby! read more

Bobby's Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

See all

100/10 - Absolutely love the team at Bobby's. They are trustworthy, fast, and do great work!

Took my Nissan in for a major A/C issue after having a few other shops look at it and give me estimates. Bobby's was definitely more affordable and they were able to complete the repair in just a couple of days while the other shops said they wouldn't even get to my car for a month or more. The A/C went from practically non-existent to Eskimo mode, so I am super happy with the work they did including the turnaround time. Very good customer service, and easy to work with. Would definitely use them again. read more

Paul caught me having car troubles at buccees, helped Me understand what was going on, gave me peace of mind and invited me to come in and have the shop fix it. Arrived at 8 am, replaced the valve, also diagnosed a nail in my tire that discount tire missed in two different stops in there. the shop itself is clean, accommodating and the service is impeccable! Great value, great service. read more

Always have fast and fair service. They explain things I don't understand, and know I have the best service I can get locally.

Best place in town to have car repairs. They are fair and honest and don't try to stick you with unnecessary charges. They are fast, friendly and most of all honest. I would recommend them to anyone that needs repairs. read more

I wanted to share a recent experience that I had with a local automotive repair shop in the hopes that others do not fall prey to this tactic. In early August of 2024 my Chrysler Sebring developed an over heating issue on the way back to Smithville. I was close to Bobby's Automotive so dropped in to get an estimate and left the car for almost a week to have them develop an estimate for the repairs. When I returned to get the car I was told that the engine had a head gasket leak and it would be very expensive to perform the work but due to the extremely low mileage (53k original miles on a 2010 Chrysler Sebring Convertible)they offered to buy the car and offered right at $3K saying they could fix it at cost and resell it. I declined at that time and had the car towed home where it sat for several months while I debated the expensive repair. My son, a heavy equipment mechanic, said he would take a look at it. After about 15 minutes of looking at it he discovered that the issue was a clogged radiator. He replaced the radiator and there have been no further issues with the car. I have talked with other people who also had Bobby's, and other shops, offer to purchase vehicles after giving a bad news expensive estimate on their car problem. I am not suggesting that they are dishonest but it seems that a pattern is emerging. Please be cautious and get a second estimate before making a decision on an expensive repair that comes with an offer to buy your car. read more

BAD!!! CHARGED ME 200 DOLLARS FOR OIL CHANGE/CHECKUP AND DIDNT DO IT!! I have been driving my car and started hearing a loud noise when i took it to a new shop i was told it had no oil!! read more

I've taken all of my vehicles to this shop in the last 5 years and I've never had a bad experience. They take good care of your vehicle and keep you updated, whether it's something simple like an oil change or they're putting in a new transmission they've got you covered... I've never been to a better mechanic shop! Me, my buddies and my family highly recommend Bobby's Automotive if you're having car troubles... read more

Paul was absolutely honest & straight forward about my AC blower on my F-250. Another mechanic in Bastrop (not to be mentioned) told me it was my blower and not my relay. Paul ordered the part and quickly called me after I dropped off to tell me it WAS the relay. This changed my $1100 job to just a $145 job. Most mechanics would not have said anything and just replaced the blower but not these guys. They have always done us right and that's why they have earned our continued business. This as you know is very rare these days so I encourage you to try them out. read more

In my humble opinion, 5 stars are not enough for this business. I see a few negative reviews posted, and I'm stumped as to the true cause. 30 minutes after dropping off my car, they isolated the problem and called. Next day the part came in and the car was fixed. In fact, it runs better than it used to. This will be my mechanic from now on. As an aside, prior to visiting this shop, I called a 'need' auto shop that said it would be 4 days before they could work on my car, but indeed, for just $115 they could diagnose the problem. I had called them because a friend recommended going to another mechanic on hwy 71, only to find the shop closed during business hours and no one to answer the phone. The folks at Bobby's automotive are pleasant to talk to, fast and highly skilled. Look past the few odd negative comments and give them a try. You'll be glad you did. Anyone who knows me understands I do not give positive comments or praise when it is not deserved. read more

I am new in town and Bobby's has worked on my truck on multiple occasions. One time, they were fixing several things and forgot to put my shocks on as paid for. They were very apologetic and went above and beyond to make things right. Because I have no friends or family in town, they bring me home and pick me up after they complete the work. I have really appreciated that. read more

This automotive shop is the best hands down. Not only are they genuine when you walk in, they do not rush, nor hike the price for minor repairs. I love this place and will continue to return. read more

I am SO impressed by the work done at Bobby's Automotive. I was having issues with my car and took it to another local mechanic and they tried charging me for a bunch of unneeded work that totaled to over $6,000. After talking to some neighbors, they recommended we take it to Bobby's for a second opinion. I am so happy we did. I ended up only having to pay a little over $600 for the work needed to fix my car. I will never use any other mechanic in Bastrop!! These are some honest folks who aren't going to scam you out of money. The customer service here is amazing. Thank y'all so much for the great work! read more

Great staff and great service and prices. Lobby is nice and 5 minutes from Bastrop. I much rather support this local business than a chain.

We all know getting a honest estimate and getting what you pay for is based on trust. Bobby's Automotive is the only auto repair facility I will ever take my vehicles. You get honest pricing and the repairs are accomplished the right way. They have worked on every vehicle we have owned. Do yourself a favor if you need auto repair, take it to Bobby's. read more

We live nearly an hour away but it is worth the drive to save thousands especially now when everything is going up in price. We take all of our vehicles to Bobby's and have been for years! They are one of the few honest repair shops trust. read more

Great Automotive Shop! I moved to the area a couple of years ago and couldn't be happier with the service I receive at Bobby's Automotive. Quality workmanship and honest as the day is long! read more

Just passing through the area and damaged the steering of my truck running over someones car, not my best day. I used Yelp to chose Bobby's because the services listed seemed to indicate they could help me. They were knowledgeable, friendly, prompt and affordable. Being from out of town I worry that it would be easy to take advantage of me but they treated me like I would expect if I lived near by. They fixed the problem, explained what happened and charged a reasonable fee. What more could I ask for? read more

Had interlock device installed in vehicle (smart start). Was seen during the appointment time, very friendly staff and respectful. No hassle whatsoever. Clean restroom, very quiet waiting area(maybe the radio can be on low for background noise). They also offered many other services that we WILL come back here for when the time comes up. The people are definitely more respectful to the public here compared to how the city people treat others. read more

My son and I had trouble with our Jeep while passing through Bastrop. Googled auto repair and started calling around. When I called Bobby's, I spoke with Paul and explained the issue. Got a tow truck to take it in. Paul personally checked the Jeep out, gave us his diagnosis of what was needed, helped to quickly get it in shape to ensure we got home safely, and listed out what needed to be done when we got back home. No smoke and mirrors here. Helpful, courteous, friendly and the most important - HONEST. I wish they were closer to my hometown. Highly recommend Bobby's Automotive to anyone looking for a professional and honest auto business. Thanks, Paul! read more

Best automotive dealer in Bastrop. It's hard to find mechanics you can truly trust. Bobby and his guys give nothing but their best.

Dishonest and unprofessional! Took my car in, they charged quite a bit to fix the problem, as I drove home, my car still had problem and stalled on highway. Drove straight back and he swore it drove like a new car but to bring back if same problem. Tried calling once I got home to discuss when I could bring back because I would have to make more money to further repair car and the business never answered my phone call again. Also oxygen sensor was cut off. And told me they put on machine and it was functioning perfect. Had another acquaintance tell me the same issue happened to them. Too bad more people do not rate the the problems I've heard about this business, I'd had chosen another company to use. Since, have gone to another mechanic and was told that Bobbies Automotive most likely did not use machine as there were very obvious problems. I guess my money wasn't nice enough for this company as i would've kept giving it to them to correctly repair my vehicle. I've never been ghosted before by a professional service like this before. read more

Bobby's Automotive installed a rebuilt transmission in our truck 1 1/2 years ago. We have put less than 20 thousand miles on our truck and the transmission is slipping again. We took the truck back to Bobby's Automotive and the refuse to stand behind their own work and made excuses that the employee who did the intial work is no longer employeed and they do not know how many miles was on the truck at the time of the original installation. They were trying to charge $1,800 for a used transmission and $2,400 for a rebuilt transmission to fix their own poor workmanship from the previous installation. We are absolutely shocked from the lack of work ethis and professionalism shown by Bobby's Automotive. I DO NOT recommend taking your vehicle there. The do not honor or stand behind their work!!! read more

I do most of my own car work. About 50-75%. What I can't do, the only mechanic I'll pay out of my pocket, is the guys @ Bobby's Automotive.

I used them for replacing the alternator, starter, and several oil changes. My car needed to have the transmission replaced, and they agreed to do the warranty work. I paid $423.13 for the transmission work. #1. Shifter cable snapped off, car was tolled back to them by AAA. I paid $286.66 for new shifter cables & labor. #2. drove the car off the lot, made one stop at the store, and wasn't able to shift into any gears. My car was tolled back to them by AAA. #3. Picked up my car, parked car into garage, and couldn't shift car into reverse gear, had car tolled back to them by AAA. Each time costing me more money. I was still having and this time I decided to go to AAMCO. My car was missing two bell housing bolts. This is a big deal because the bell housing bolts holds the transmission onto the block. Also, I had to replace the air boot, pigtail, belt because there was damage to these parts from not properly removing and replacing the transmission correctly.. When it comes to any major auto repair use a shop that is known to do that type of auto repair. This was a very costly lesson for me to learn. I will use AAMCO from now on. read more
