I've been taking my vehicles to Labor Only since 2021, and they have consistently earned my trust. From routine work to custom jobs and even helping me out of a difficult situation with my ProMaster, they've always gone above and beyond to make sure I'm taken care of. The owner stands behind his work, is responsive when I need help, and has built a team I can depend on. It's increasingly hard to find a shop that combines skill, integrity, and genuine customer service. Labor Only has been that shop for me for years, and I highly recommend them. read more

I used coupon to get oil changed and check alignment. They did not check tire pressure or checked my lights. I went to Discount tire for tire rotation the next week and found my tires were at 21 lbs. my headlight bulb was out and was not advised on this when I drove the car out of Labor only. As a widow I depend on others to help me keep my car up to snuff. Don't know if fluids were checked. I will not return. read more

I've been going here for years. I was new to the area and had snapped an axle. Devin took care of me. I didn't know what I needed, he helped me sort through options. Since then for the last several years I've only got but the best service. Most recently I brought in a new to me car. I needed some fluid changes done and while they were doing that they took a once over and quoted me on what could go wrong with such a high mileage car. This was so helpful in understanding what I might have to pay. It was really clear none of it needed to be done now, but like all cars of this mileage, it might be needed one day. This way nothing would be a surprise. They also know I like to tinker on my cars and do a few things myself. Always encourage me to do so but also willing to do it for me. Its a family run business and a real gem. I cannot say enough about these folks. read more

I recently had my vehicle serviced at Labor Only Auto Repair in Hutto, Texas, and the experience was consistently professional and reliable. The experienced team handled the initial diagnosis completely, methodically identified the issues, provided a clear, detailed explanation of the diagnostic findings, recommended repairs based on manufacturer specifications, and outlined the labor required without unnecessary additions. The approach was straightforward, transparent, and focused on accuracy. The repairs were performed by their ASE-certified technicians to a high standard: precise execution, use of quality OEM parts where appropriate and upgrades specific to my needs (we like to offroad), and thorough post-repair testing to confirm resolution. The work was completed efficiently, ahead of schedule, and with excellent communication throughout (no surprises, no upselling). The pricing was fair and competitive, delivering real value through expertise rather than inflated costs. Evan and his team operate with integrity, treating customers with respect and straightforwardness. Thank you, to the entire crew for the competent, honest service. This shop has continually earned my trust for several years and any future maintenance and repair needs. Highly recommended for anyone seeking dependable automotive work in the Hutto, Round Rock, Pflugerville, or greater Austin area. 5 stars. read more

My experience with Labor Only was top notch. I worked mostly with Adam, but with Ian a little. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. I feel like they went the extra mile in communicating with my extended warranty company and working with me on my out of pocket. I felt valued and heard. read more

Never have I been overcharged as much on a mechanical job. Although the job was done correctly and the problem was solved, the amount we had to pay was ridiculous. Over $2700. to swap out an $800 computer that was held in by 4 bolts and had 3 electrical connectors (all easy to get to). This could not have taken more than 10 minutes to accomplish. I will never bring any vehicle to them again. read more

Labor Only is the best vehicle repair shop that I have ever used. From the time you walk in until the time you leave you are treated with fair and HONEST diagnoses and repair costs. They DO NOT try to "Up Sell" anything, instead they give their opinions and allow you to make the repair choice that you want. The stand behind their work. read more

I sent an email asking for a ball park estimate for a repair. I described what the issue was and never got a response. They don't care to follow up with potential customers says a lot about them, maybe they only respond to certain ones. read more

Wildly inaccurate over-quote on multiple occasions / vehicles / service type. Evan was my entire family's mechanic for two decades - never again - extended family, friends, veteran and service orgs notified to avoid at all cost. Most recent quote ~$7000: no part was marked up less than 100%, some as much as 800% - verified all were available locally for immediate pickup using premium OEM parts - all hourly estimates were at least doubled - all of this was verified against official Honda dealership, AllData and Mitchell service estimators. There is no way to mistake the absolute blind abuse clearly intended or that my trust was the only thing that emboldened such a malicious scheme. I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income and Evan wanted to do very serious damage to my future. Everything on Evan's quote - plus two more major jobs and one minor one - were all completed for $1795.04 including highest quality parts, labor (@$150/hr), and warranty - rough guess is if Evan had included those it would have been a $10,000 quote for work he darn well knew would appropriately cost less than 1/5 of his estimate. Usurous clown entirely devoid of integrity SHAME read more

While the team there is very nice, unfortunately that was not what I was paying for, and they charged a LOT for what I paid for. My A/C was acting up, so I took it in to have it worked on, where I learned that my compressor and hoses were in bad shape. There were some incidental issues in getting to the compressor, but otherwise it should have been a standard replacement for my 2010 GMC Acadia. The cost ended up being fairly exorbitant, to a degree that I would not have had the work completed were I not in need of a working A/C for my vehicle for my kids. However when I took it home I found out that my fan was also acting up, causing a short that was causing the compressor to shut down. It seemed strange to me that the repair hadn't been tested to a degree where this would have been discovered, given that I experienced it almost immediately after leaving, leading me to have to incur additional time and repairs that could have been combined with the earlier work. I am not looking for dirt cheap shop work, but I ended up paying a lot more in comparison to the national averages, even allowing for the more compact nature of my GMC. While the A/C is working now, it's hard knowing that it came with such a hefty price tag that I no longer feel comfortable taking my vehicle to this mechanic. The team there were very friendly, and I appreciated them answering my questions, but ultimately it makes it hard to want to come back based on this experience. read more

I was having trouble with a starter on my wife's 2013 Honda. I had not had good luck with the local Honda dealer and wanted to give a small shop the opportunity to fix us up. I pass this location almost every day and the sign is getting a little worn. I checked the reviews and made a call. They gave me a price that I was expecting and we scheduled the repair. I got 2 reminders which I appreciated. I dropped the car at 9:30 and had it back same day by 4:30. I will be back. I hope not too soon though. read more

After an extensive wait on a AC fix, we began to realize that they were finding and fixes issues that they had not diagnosed from the beginning. Find a mechanic that genuinely can test and diagnose issues. We are out a lot of money and the fix didn't last a week! Beware if this little shop with big prices in money and time read more

I would highly recommend this auto-shop! The customer service cannot be beat and they get things done quickly and correctly. I felt that they were very honest and reliable. I am so glad I found this shop, I'll never go to anyone else again! read more

Great little place for repairs & very trustworthy Evan, the owner, is a super nice guy & very helpful.

Super nice guys, quality work can only highly recommend them. read more

Best shop I've been to in Austin area. They were quick, didn't try to oversell me, and were super honest with me and how to fix it.

They went above and beyond to accommodate my complicated situation and were very reasonably priced. I will be back with a basket of cookies to thank them for sure! read more

Have been knowing Evin for several years on the business side thought we had a good Repor. He has done work for in the past on my BMW was very pleased with the work he done. So I trusted him again and took my grandkids GoCart to him brand new to fix it. When he was done with the work on it he left it out in the weather and it got Deoxygenated. he had other scooters out there under a shed so that's why I asked him to work on mines, I told him I lived in an RV at that time and i him to hold on to it until I got out the RV. I then took him my 1977 Nova for a transmission overhaul while it was there a 248.00$ battery was replaced with a used battery. Long story short he stated it wasn't a battery in the vehicl, so I advise you to take pictures of your values that's left in your vehicle, he has some untruthful employees working for him. I am really disappointed in the way Evin handled this. You don't stand in another man's living room and call him a thief unless you ready to have a shoot out. I wished he had been fare. I can't believe you Evin as much money as you charge you should be more responsible. I am pissed the more I think about it. It's not you involved in the thiefer then you need to check your people. Because more than likely they are stealing from you also. I'm pissed. read more

Evan and his crew have always taken care of me and my vehicles. We've been using him for over 9years and he will always be our first choice. read more

Very honest, dependable, friendly and patient. Recommended by my father in law and now my only mechanic unless the dealer refuses to put my vehicle back together for "safety reasons". Very trustworthy! His reputation is impeccable and it shows by the growth his business has gained. read more

This is FIRST time I have used this repair shop! I will definitely use them again.. Very professional and clean looking shop, well organized. These guys have their act together. I like the fact they have ASE Master Certified technicians. Work was on time and excellent. Outstanding customer service. You can't beat their 2 year warranty on repairs!! Don't let the drive out in the country discourage you-it is well worth the time. read more

Evan and his crew are awesome! I've had two of my vehicles in to him recently and both times the repairs were done promptly and skillfully. This most recent visit was to perform some last minute work needed on my truck that would have prevented us from making a trip. Evan worked it into his schedule on the morning that I called and finished the repairs the same day. I cannot praise these guys enough. They're honest, fair, reasonably priced and, terrific! read more

Our family has trusted the McDaniels with the maintenance of our vehicles for over 25 years. There is no other auto repair business that can compare to the quality service they provide to their customers. read more

They can not be trusted. They did a horrible job and refused to fix it. I will never go back to this place and can not recommend it for anything.they just caused us more problems than we started with on our car. I wish we never went here. read more

We have had nothing but problems ever since taking our car here. We had some one hit our car and scrape one of the bolts off the wheel. We had to have the whole wheel bearing replaced. They "fixed" the wheel, but now we have nothing but problems with the rest of the car the speed sensor is messed up, the abs light comes on and off, and the car is overall much more dangerous to drive. The car had none of these problems before we took it here. We took it back and they claimed to have fixed it again, but all these problems are still happening. This has caused problems for months. We took it somewhere else to have the speed sensor replaced and that still did not fix the problems they caused. We had someone else tell us that they most likely put our wheel bearing on backwards... Do not bring your car here unless you want to waste time and lots of money. read more

This place is great. The staff is extremely respectful, knowledgeable, and provide great customer service. I brought my BMW to this place for a starter replacement, it was completed the same day. They did a great job and the price was extremely competitive. This is probably one of the few places that I can send my wife and not worry about her getting ripped off. read more

My '92 K5 blazer with 180K miles needed a transmission. Both the reviews I read and the service I received will take me back to Evan and the gang. No nonsense people who give good, honest service. The only thing lacking is their puny sign on the side of the road. I suppose they don't need to update it since their reputation is all they need for advertising. I trust these guys and the rebuilt trans runs great. Thanks, Labor Only. read more

I have only been in the area for a few months and had a hard time finding a reliable, trustworthy mechanic. I'm not big on chains and the huge brand name auto shops because the service tends to not be great. But often, when you go with a smaller shop, you will pay a little more. This is a locally owned shop, and the service was EXCELLENT, without sacrificing price. They gave me a ride to where I needed to be while they worked on my car and also picked me up once it was ready. They even stayed late to make sure I could get my car back the same day. They seemed very dedicated to making the customer happy and doing whatever it takes to get the job done the right way. I would recommend them to anyone that needs auto work done. read more

Evan & his staff exemplify honesty & integrity in an industry not known for it. I brought my truck for repairs & the total was more than I could afford on the spot. Evan was understanding & allowed me to leave the vehicle & make payments towards the repairs. I ran into more problems in the interim & was unable to continue the payments, again Evan worked with me through the trying times. I cannot state enough how much he cares for & accommodates his customers. He is truly a straight shooter & compassionate business owner. I will recommend him to anyone. read more

By far the best auto mechanic I have found in the greater Austin area. Car diagnosed and extensive front end work done in less than 36 hours. Great communication, reasonable and fair prices, and customer service was top notch. Will be using Labor Only for all our vehicle needs in the future. read more

This is a family run business and could not be better! I was a new client who had seriously been messed up by a different (and indifferent) mechanic shop. The knowledge, professionalism, patience, and friendliness put me completely at ease. My car runs like a top! I highly recommend these guys to anyone who cares about quality care for their cars! read more

Evan is running the best auto shop anywhere around. Though I have given him plenty of opportunities to run up the charges, he has consistently given me low and fair estimates, and I don't have to bring a man along to get the fairness and honesty I deserve! He is quick and thorough and is the only mechanic I will use now. He is keeping the 'country mechanic' tradition alive and well and is doing great, honest work. read more
