I was traveling back to Dallas and my truck started shaking like crazy. Had a friend look up mechanics in the area and Hulk Auto showed up. Called and spoke with Brian. Told him my problem and he said he had a good idea what was wrong. Brought it by just before closing and he and Israel took a look, confirmed it was my drive shaft coupler. I left it there overnight and spoke with them the next day and they informed me that u-joints were bad (as I suspected as well). They worked all day and called me 30 minutes after closing to inform me that after a test drive, the shaking was worse. They lifted it up and found a bad rear (dually) tire bubbling. He told me to come by and pick it up. I arrived and they changed the tire and popped on my spare. This is probably an hour after closing. These guys are top notch! Great customer service, extremely helpful and kept me informed. If I lived in the area, this would be my automotive shop of choice, hands down! read more

Got my water pumped replaced the same day on November 29,2016. When I dropped off the vehicle, a front desk co-worker asked if I needed a ride( a very nice lady; seems like my family). Of course back too work I go. That was nice and considerate. Arianna did a great job. Actually I talked to her today about bring my vehicle back in for a different service in the morning. Thanks Hulk Automotive. Friday, February 24, 2017 picked up my vehicle for regular maintenance at over 218,000 miles and same great service. Bonus was a loaner vehicle that was available. Hulk Automotive I'll be back and keep that family oriented staff feel in your business; even though your family. read more

I've been using Hulk Automotive since 2012. If you're looking for a good, reliable, and honest mechanic's shop I highly recommend Hulk. I've had a couple of occasions where I went in thinking I was going to have to do a major repair and even told them what I thought the problem was. Both times ended up being just minor repairs that they were honest about and didn't try to take me for a ride with. I've even had Henry, the owner, come out and personally help me w/my car when I got stranded. And every mechanic I've dealt with in the shop has been great at explaining what is going on and what needs to be done w/out doing unnecessary work. Even going above and beyond by calling the manufacturer for me to get me money back on a battery. I always recommend Hulk Automotive when someone asks about mechanics in Austin. read more

Just walking into the office building I felt at home. There was a nice gentleman waiting there who highly recommended this place for me and my company. He said he brings all his work vehicles there too! I've taken my work truck to get fixed several times over the years at another place and I never seemed to get through to them what the problems were. I would sometimes get the truck back and still have the same problem. Not this place, I explained my concern and problems. After a test drive they found the problem. The staff there were very knowledgeable and generally concerned for my safety. They ordered the parts and despite the nasty weather we just had, got my truck fixed and on the road in no time. And guess what? The problems were fixed! Thank you to Brian and the rest of the staff there for making me feel at ease and taking care of my truck. I will definitely be doing business with Hulk Automotive Service in the future. read more

Great work and fantastic customer service! We have been bring our cars here for some time now. They aren't the closest shop to us but we will always bring our vehicles here. They take time explaining to us what exactly our car issue is and take wonderful care of us as customers. Every one of the employees here has excellent customer service skills. We always drive away knowing that our issue was fixed right and with great care. They are truly a blessing to the auto repair industry! read more

Hulk Automotive Service saved the day today. Dead battery. Dead car. I called Hulk in the morning and they provided mobile service at the house to replace the battery. Customer service was great! They had my car up and running by noon. Thank you! read more

Bryan, Edwin, Arriana, and the entire Hulk Team is A+. After moving I changed my regular mechanic because I needed something close to the house. I'm so glad I did. The first time I went in, the lady up front (I forget her name but she's the BEST!) was super warm and grabbed Bryan. He shook my hand, introduced himself and listened to the description of the issue...and my hesitation to try/trust a new shop. He promised to take good care of the car and not let me down - and Hulk has kept their promise. Since then, this crew has worked on both my car and my husband's, given me rides home, provided loaners, been quick to answer the phone and diagnose problems...everybody there is super nice, trustworthy, professional, and gets your car back to you fast and affordable. This spot is a real gem. read more

I recently visited Hulk Automotive from Yelp regarding my coolant leaking Henry was very swift at responding to my issue while other automotive places took the next day. As soon as I came they were polite and checked my vehicle right away! They gave me detailed billing on what needed to be fixed and Nelly which is the sweetest lady gave me a ride home so I didn't need to call an Uber . They fixed my car within the end of the day and my bill was reasonable. I am so grateful for them working on my car and was able to go out of town the next day and came back home safely with no issues. Thank you Hulk Automotive! read more

Absolutely the best car repair shop in Austin. I have used Hulk Automotive for over 20 years. Excellent repair work and very honest mechanics. They only do the work necessary. I used to live closer to Hulk automotive but move out to the lake. I will still drive an hour to get to Hulk. Henry and all the mechanics are excellent in what they do. Thank you for being my only mechanics!! read more

5 stars for sure!! We were very impressed not only with Brian and Henry's expertise in cars, but also there understanding of our budget. They worked with what we could afford and gave us honest work for a great price! Thank you for your great customer service and great work! We'll definitely be back! read more

I have brought 2 different vehicles to Hulk Automotive and received excellent service each time! We had a really bad experience at a different repair shop with our 12 valve diesel truck (which is not something many shops know how to work on) and we brought the truck to Hulk since the other shop couldn't seem to find the problem. The guys at Hulk were able to pinpoint the problem and correct it quickly and the truck has been running great ever since. I also brought a Ford Escape to Hulk for some work on the breaks. I'm glad I have found a place to take our cars that can be trusted! read more

Hulk Automotive and especially Ari-my female mechanic gave me the best auto repair experience I've ever had. My Toyota Tacoma has the check engine light going off and on for two months.. I had taken it to three other shops and no one could figure it out- but hulk automotive did. Hulk automotive and Ari needed to keep my truck for a while bc the problem was so elusive, but they had a loaner car that I used-hassle free- so I wasn't put out by rental car fees or loss of wheels. Ari really put in the time and effort and saved my engine. Now my truck is driving like the smooth purring engine she always was. Thank you so much hulk automotive. Where other shops gave up hulk automotive and Ari figured it out. This is the best shop in town. I can't say enough about my great experience. read more

Overall I had a great experience here. I had an unusual problem with my brakes that required me to go back 3 times. Each time they took care of me very well. My brake problem was off and on and each time I went into the shop, the problem would not happen. That is part of the reason for the multiple trips. However, they did not nickel and dime me. Most places would have charged me for every visit and every little thing they tried to fix the problem, but Hulks did NOT do that. Henry was very informative and patient with me. His mother who runs the desk was wonderful and kind. Only one slight negative and the reason I gave 4 stars: on my first visit, I was helped by a couple of employees and I was unsure if they understood my brake problem correctly because of a language barrier. For probably 99% of mechanic problems, this would not be a problem. My problem was just complicated and required a lot of details to be communicated. The guys were great so absolutely no complaints about their work! read more

I have had many of my vehicles repaired at Hulk Automotive and they have always been good to me and fair. The Hispanic lady that one reviewer is referring to is the owner's mom and she is the sweetest person. She's not Hispanic and it doesn't matter either way...she's from Bolivia and would jump in front of a train for a total stranger. I will continue to bring my vehicles here. read more

Henry came out on a mobile service call for me and is definitely a knowledgeable and honest mechanic. Two words I wouldn't normally use in a sentence when talking about a mechanic. Very personable, professional, and his service was invaluable. He was able to preform the necessary repairs to my truck. I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I had an issue with how my vehicle was treated over at Hulk automotive and the staff bent over backwards to make sure that this would not happen again. I was assured that their processes had been changed and that Hulk Auto was more than willing to make my issue right. The staff and technicians are helpful and friendly and will do what it takes. Thanks for renewing my faith in local business. read more

Just called for an estimate on AC repair. 1. The front desk lady is Hispanic and very bad at speaking and articulating things. Probably not the best person to handle calls into your business. 2. After 10 min of explaining what I was wanting (an estimate....) she took my number and said they would call me back with an estimate. I asked if they would call me back today and she said yes, today, or maybe later. She said they are busy, they might not call you back. Literally made me laugh out loud. First impressions are big...fix yours. read more

Great Service.Awesome communication and in a timely and professional manner. I am pleased and will definitely return if any other electrical issues arise with my vehicle.Thank you, Hulk Automotive. read more

Great customer service as well as top notch diagnosis and repair ability. All the maintance I have done on my truck has been expertly done in a timely fashion. No complaints! read more

I am also an owner of a 12 Valve Cummins. My 95' has less than 160,000 miles & I would never allow another shop to look at my truck other than Hulk. They have worked on the fuel system, suspension, air conditioning system and other aspects of my pride and joy. They look for ways to save me money while doing the highest quality work in Central Texas. Henry and the guys at Hulk make life easier knowing that if the unexpected happens, they're there to help...... LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!! TRUST this place!!! They are the best!!!!!!!!! I have sent friends there and they come back relieved that they have found a shop that they not only trust, but love! read more

Back in February 2012 I asked my tow truck driver to take my car somewhere else, where they'd fix my transmission for $2500. He encouraged me to use Hulk,and Henry the owner said he could fix it for $1400-$1800. It was dropped on a Sunday and I asked them if i could have it back by Friday so I could take my fiancee to the airport in it. It was ready Saturday. It was indeed fixed properly but it cost me $2517. Didn't save any money so it would be a wash but then I swapped cars on that saturday and explained the problem. Turns out the mechanic fixed the wrong thing, saying I explained the noise wrong. I didn't, but nonetheless wouldn't you expect the mechanic to properly diagnose the problem? She spent $500 fixing the wrong thing. We let the tow truck driver talk us into taking it there again when it overheated and they wanted a whole lot more money to fix it again so we said forget it. They said it would be safe to drive the 9 miles home, and it overheated after a mile. After the first repair Henry said he'd look at it but I believe he never personally looked at it. Eventually we took the car elsewhere. The tow truck driver told me today he stopped taking cars there after March 2012, for reasons he didn't disclose. Would have posted this sooner but the one-year warranty on the transmission just ran out, and as I mentioned, the transmission was fixed right and didn't have any problems, but we had a lot of problems. Other things I like is they communicate via email and give you printouts (yes he did tell me it was $2517 before he fixed it but the car had already been towed there and Rick from Bullet assured me how happy I'd be). read more

My family has used Hulk automotive for a few years now and I've never been let down. They have always been very friendly, honest, and prompt in their repairs. They're a family owned mechanic shop which is nice because they always treat us like family. I only go to hulk now over other mechanic shops in Austin because they're able to handle any problem our cars throw at them and are always fair about costs. I recommend this place if you need anything done from minor maintenance to an engine rebuild. Thanks Hulk! read more

I have been using Hulk Autimotive for 15 years since Henry was a mobile mechanic. I trust him with my car over anyone else. He is honest and fair. He does right by his customers. Blake one of his mechanics is also patient and very clear with his explanations. We love that there are toys for my son to play with while waited on the diagnosis. I would not take my car to anyone else. He is the BEST. read more

Hulk Automotive is owned and operated by Henry who is an EXTREMELY honest and knowledge mechanic. He is extremely polite and does not talk down to his customers. Not only is Henry that way but his techs are all that way - they know their stuff but are not out to rob you or recommended repairs you dont need. I have used Henry's mobile service as well as taken my vehicles to him at his garage and both have been extremely positive experiences. I do alot of my own minor automotive work and what I cant do/dont want to do - I take to him. Recently I took my vehicle back to him for a follow up to a problem he fixed a month ago - he took it apart and looked and turned out to be another problem that I choose not to get fixed because it was more of an inconvenience than a functional issue - NO Charge - and this was about 2-3 hours of his mechanics time to do this. How many places do you know that would do that - at least they would charge you for an hour or 2 for diagnosis - but not Henry and his mechanics. I have sent co-workers to him and they are amazed by his honesty and his work. I cant say enough positive things about Hulk Automotive!!! read more
