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

I do not advise purchasing a vehicle from this company! I bought a 2022 Dodge Charger February 2026…read morefor my son who is in the San Marcos area attending college and working two jobs. He is 6 hours away from home and needed reliable transportation. Prior to purchasing the vehicle, they had to flush/change the antifreeze/coolant, replace the radiator, replace the radiator cap, replace the thermostat, replace place the water pump gasket, replace the water pump, replace the battery, replace/repair the blower motor, replace/clean the cabin air filter, check the engine/powertrain computer/module and change the oil and filter. I am thinking we are making a good purchase due to the listed repairs/replacements. The car has overheated twice since buying it. The first time, we took it up there and they replaced the lower radiator hose and flushed/changed the antifreeze/coolant. The second time it overheated, they are now telling us it needs a motor. Purchased it in February and we now need a motor in June. This is extremely frustrating and very unacceptable. They stated because he has driven the car almost 7K miles commuting back and forth to both jobs and school, that they can't help us out. They had no intentions of helping me out. As a single parent of 4 children, it is already difficult enough taking care of my children on my own and paying for college out of pocket. The last thing I needed was for an auto center to take advantage of me as a woman. This is beyond upsetting.

SCAM!!! Do NOT send anything to this idiot. He might be fine with simple stuff but doesn't know…read moreanything about Mercedes and doesn't like to communicate. I sent him old ignition with 2 key plus new ignition with 2 keys to be cloned. First he says the new ignition won't work so upcharged me. Then says new keys won't work and upcharged me. $800 total. Got them back and didn't work. I had to tell him what he did wrong and that hurt his feelings. Sent everything back along with ECU. Got it all back and still didn't work? Keys wouldn't even unlock the doors and he only sent one new key back when I paid for 2! Now I have to go through credit card company for a refund. Absolute waste of time and money. I have all written texts and emails documenting his admitting where he went wrong. I'm a 53 year old Marine. Don't gamble on this company. Not worth it

But the great reviews, I thought. They said it MIGHT be ready later that day. But when I called... no answer. Texted...no reply. Over the next few days... NO responses, no replies... nothing. Finally, they picked up. Said it was ready. I drove a considerable distance and was met with a somewhat abrupt "you said you would call". It wasn't ready. So I waited, and about 45 minutes later he said I could take it. When I installed it...the ignition would not start (It was working fine before). I tried to contact Clusterfix and of course no answer...and no reply. My only option was to take it (tow it) to a dealer. Long story short, the damage they caused cost me an additional $1900 to fix. I guess I should have known with a name like ClusterFix, it would be a clusterf**k. AVOID!!!!!!!
