She stopped in Johnson City and the mechanic at Tony's garage looked at it right away. He was very helpful and informative.

They should have charged her for checking her transmission fluid but they did not. Thank you Tony's Garage. RJ Cavanaugh

That tire was so bad they wouldn't even put it back on. We ended up replacing all 4 back tires, and the only "issue" was they couldn't get them same day.

We would recommend them.

They are reliable and saved me from a 12,000.00 unnecessary repair the other shop had quoted me. Ask for Lucas Collier, he's your man if you are looking for a truly genuine repair man. We can't THANKYOU enough and will be sending all our business your way and sharing your shop with everyone. Please read below (if you have time but I highly recommend you take the time to read) what I had to post as a review on the other shop because this is why we love Champion. The whole staff there is wonderful. Thankyou Lucas, Blue and team again!! Below is the review I had to post on Lambs Automotive in Buda and you can read for yourself why we love Champion Auto in San Marcos ... Lambs Auto Repair Review *WARNING* First time bringing my car in here since it changed from McSpaddens to Lambs in Buda and wow I am SUPER disappointed. I brought my car in due to a gas smell it was giving- and for them to do a diagnostic test to see what may be the issue. Mind you my car has never over heated or my check engine light was never on. They called me after running a couple tests saying I had two options because they believed I had a broken head gasket. They said I needed a brand new motor For 12,000.00 or they were going to need to replace head gasket and surrounding parts for around 6,5000.00. I know nothing about cars so I call my husband in a panic. Thank God for my husband knowing things about cars. It just didn't seem possible my car needed all that work. So we took it from Lambs and found another shop recommended by some friends. Champion Auto Repair in San Marcos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking your car there instead. They are honest, experienced and do quality work. Ask for Lucas Collier, was so impressed with him. They ran all the tests and found NO broken head gasket! Turns out my jeep just needed a little tune up ( new spark plus etc) and more importantly IF my head gaskets needed replacing ,as Lambs had said, this new shop quoted us 2800.00 for the EXACT same repair. Doing research we found Lambs was BEYONd over charging us and charging us for repairs that weren't even needed!! feel pretty taken advantage of, and would still be trying to figure out a way to take a loan out to be able to pay for a repair at Lambs that was never even needed. Definitely won't be trusting this shop. Lesson learned 1. Always do research on cost of parts and 2. Always get a second opinion. *Also noticed that all the five star reviews are actually from the previous ownership which was McSpaddens. So do your research!! (512) 938-1122

The mechanic came, told us that the thermostat was replaced - even though it looked like it was not necessary. Of course he also managed to fish more work, outside of the company's purview, I learned later, to replace a serpentine belt. Total cost: $900. The punchline: I took it to Austin Automotive who informed me that the original thermostat was still in the car, and what's worse, the thermostat is part of the water pump system. You cannot replace just the thermostat in my car. Phone calls were not returned, and when I finally heard back, they asked me if I wanted a new serpentine belt... Unbelievable. Too bad that I cannot give them zero stars.

Since I'm on the outskirts of Austin, I picked a public location so I could run errands while he worked. Marcos showed up right on time, test drove my car, and fully checked everything out before working. I originally planned to replace all four rotors, but Marcos kindly let me know only the rear actually needed it and the others were about halfway through. That honesty goes such a long way. I still chose to go ahead and take care of all of them, but I really appreciated not being upsold. They also offer payment plan options, which made it so much easier and less overwhelming. By the time I finished grocery shopping, my car was completely ready! This literally happened today and I couldn't wait to rave about them.
