Being relatively new to Austin, I tried three different auto shops for maintenance repairs. ATL's customer service exceeded my expectations, both in kindness and prices. Austin, the gentleman who took care of me, was super welcoming and helpful, finding ways to save me money and thoroughly explaining in detail what was wrong with my car. He went over what was more important and of higher priority. Compared to the other places, which quoted me ridiculous prices before even looking at my car, ATL's approach was far more satisfactory. In short, I've recommended this place to my friends and family and have had my cars serviced here several times. I do not work for them nor do I have any ties to them, so take this as a genuine review. Thank you, guys!

IMO, Frank is the worst "Shady Tree Mechanic" I've dealt with in Austin in 17 years of living here…read more Coming up on two decades, I've owned an average of 3 to 5 "steeds" in my "stable" and need reliable service and repairs on cars from vintage, current models, and everything in between. That all said, I don't often write reviews, but when I do, they're likely a 1 or 5 star review. This is... unfortunately a 1 star. I'd give him a zero if possible. For some context, I'm an IT professional with more than 25 years of experience, as well as a "car guy" since I was was 5 years old, and have wrenched on my own vehicles before I even had a learners' permit. I called Frank on Wednesday March 5. He said he personally would be coming to my home on the following Tuesday morning, which would be March 8th at 10am. I told him exactly what I needed, we sent several texts back and forth and we agreed on labor per hour. As I was providing my own parts, he said there would be no warranties and I agreed on that as well. After I mentioned I'd been here since 2008, he asked for, and I sent him personal opinions about various in-person mechanics in Austin. I sent him a long list of great (and one not so great) mechanics. I then submitted to take time off work to be at home to help out and/or learn about installing a completely new brake system on the following Tuesday. I could _probably_ do this project myself, but I would rather have someone who was certified and had a good reputation to make sure it was successful--and that I wouldn't kill myself due to a brake failure. On the scheduled date of arrival on Tuesday at 8:43AM, Frank text me that his guy "Josue" (instead of Frank) will be arriving an hour late. Fine by me. Shit comes up every once in awhile, no big deal. On Tuesday at 10:21, he sent me a text along with a picture that said "Josue's" truck had broken down (in my opinion, not a good sign of a "good mechanic" having a breakdown) and "bunch of oil", but he would (AGAIN) personally come to help me out ASAP after finishing a job in Georgetown. My spidey scenes started tingling a bit and I suspected Frank or "Josue" might be lying. Mechanics do regularly have a bad reputations, which I don't think is always deserved, but in this case--it most definitely was. As previously mentioned, I am a Senior IT professional. I inspected the meta-data of the photo Frank sent me and found that it had been taken the previous Friday, and not when he was arriving, which was Tuesday. At that point, I KNEW for certain either "Josue" was lying (by proxy) or Frank was jerking me around. I sent him a text with that the photo wasn't taken today. I received no immediate reply. I waited a beat, then called Frank and explained how I knew that story about their truck breaking down was a lie. Frank said "Josue" was not replying to texts, but he would (AGAIN) personally come to help me fix my car as soon as he finished a job in Georgetown. At 1:00 PM, Frank said he was on his way from Georgetown. That's normally a 45 minute drive, even in bad traffic. After waiting over two 2 hours for his arrival, I was fairly concerned that something may have happened, and was not quite pleased in the lack of communication. Again, I had taken the day off to make time for him to arrive early in the morning.I called Frank to find out what was going on. When he picked up, I said "I don't know if you've lied to me once or twice at this point, but I am not interested in your services going forward." Frank said he had just arrived and was, "right outside my house." I asked why it had taken more than 2 hours to arrive instead of reasonable 45 minutes, and Frank replied "Traffic was crazy." I checked Google Maps. Traffic was NOT crazy. At that point, I knew he (or "Josue") had lied to me at least three times at that point, and I politely informed Frank of the facts. I said he had broken my trust and to leave and go away. He insisted that he was right outside my house and could get the job done. He even described the color of my house to convince me. I said "No Frank, you don't understand, you, or your employee have now lied to me more than several times. Please leave. Your services are no longer wanted." He replied, "Okay.", and hung up. I would suggest you look for anyone else other than Frank. He (and/or his associate "Josue") are liars and fundamentally responsible for the "good guy mechanics" having a bad reputation out of the gate, which is quite a shame. My opinion is to avoid doing business with Frank. As a "car guy", I've been swindled before, but you can likely find far better than this business. Please look elsewhere! If this ass has the balls to reply to this review, he'll definitely deny, deny, deny. Look at my review history. I don't tell tall tails. Thanks, Wayne

Two words: UNPROFESSIONAL and DECEITFUL…read more I truly don't know where to begin. I despise writing a poor review for a locally-owned business, but after months of being led-on and ignored, I am writing this in hopes of saving someone else's precious time. My husband was in a car wreck in October 2025. The person who rear-ended him has terrible insurance, so we decided to file a claim through our insurance, Allstate. Capital City Collision provided us a quote that our insurance did not agree with. An Allstate negotiator went back and forth with the shop. Part of the issue was my husband's truck had after-market parts that were damaged. Our Allstate negotiator, Elizabeth, called us to confirm that she was able to get funds approved by her manager and they reached an agreement on pricing with the shop. A check for $2,207.66 was sent to the shop to start ordering parts. According to Allstate, the shop cashed the check on January 20th. It is now March 19th and the shop still has yet to reach out. I have tried calling the shop multiple times in the last two months. Each time I call, they answer and hang-up immediately. I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe they are busy. I tried calling the shop today, and again, same situation: answer, then hang up. I thought to myself, "hmm... maybe they really are ignoring our calls?" So I waited 15 minutes and called back with a blocked number. What do you know... Catherine decided to pick up and answer this time! She kept me on hold for 9 minutes before taking me off hold and hanging up on me immediately. I called back, and a man answered. He transferred me up to Catherine, who kept me on hold for 4 minutes this time and hung up immediately. While I was on hold the second time, I received a text message saying they wouldn't do business with us. They ignored my text, asking when they planned on returning the check they cashed for $2,207.66. My husband and I have been trying to get his truck fixed since October 2025. It is now March 2026. I understand that our insurance was being difficult to work with... we were annoyed by Allstate, too! That being said, Capital City Collision could have rejected our business months ago, instead of stringing us along. Rather than sending this text message 5 months ago when this all started, they chose to dodge our calls and waste our time. Unprofessional does not even begin to describe their behavior. They were avoidant, deceptive, thieving, and rude.

Great service and great quality!!

My husband and I have been customers of Juke with our two vehicles for typical maintenance and…read morethey've always been reliable, so when my brakes suddenly went out on my Jeep, I went to Juke for help. It was easy to make the appointment to have the Jeep towed in and they got back to me by the end of the day with the diagnostic. My brake line had blown out and they were going to replace it. The next day they called to tell me there were no brake lines available for my Jeep anywhere with MOPAR, or any other manufacturer. People in my situation are all waiting months for these things on back order. Most shops would have probably told me to come tow this Jeep out of their way until a brake line was available. Not Juke! They thought outside the box and let me know a hydraulic shop they work with could build the part for me, and it would only be $80 more! Perfect! Even though they had to run around town with these brake lines, and rely on another shop to hunt down parts and fabricate custom brake lines for me, they had my Jeep back to me after just 6 business days! The other great thing is Miguel kept me updated the whole time and I never had to worry about if my vehicle was being taken care of. The people at Juke actually care about their customers and I recommend them to everyone I know.

DO NOT TRUST this business…read more My family has been in the car business for over 75 years. I used to use Brownie's for everything for my car back when I had a car that often needed work (2008-ish) as my family always trusted Brownie himself. I recently moved back to Austin from out of state and needed brake pads and my back rotors to be machined. I went back to Brownie's because my family and I always trusted Brownie. However Brownie himself sold his business to a former employee and is no longer a part of the business although his name is still used. The new owner initially quoted me $285 for four new brake pads. So I took off work, drove my car to the shop, paid to Uber myself back to my apartment while I waited on the car. However when Jose at Brownies Automotive called me he told me my back rotors needed to be "sanded" and so the total would be over $600 to replace four Brake pads and "sand" my rotors. Talk about a bait and switch. Anyone who knows anything about cars would know this is criminally overcharging. As a single female he probably thought I was an easy target to scam. Took my car elsewhere and paid $255 for all four brake pads and to get the back two rotors machined (not just "sanded"). Absolutely unacceptable. Brownie would not be happy to know his name is being used this way. I hope this review helps save someone from this predatory business. The positive reviews here must be from friends and family of Jose trying to boost business because if he would try to scam me like this, he's definitely scammed others - they probably just didn't know enough about cars to know they were being scammed.
