Amazing service! I took my 2014 Volkswagen in to have some maintenance repairs done and they were able to work me in immediately and quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff are so friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plus they charge extremely fair prices. I highly recommend taking your car here for service, I know I will be back in the future. read more

I have a finicky '15 Jetta VW wagon which the previous owner did a ton of after-market things to, which resulted in a lot of damage. Roger went above and beyond with spending time problem solving as well as not upselling me. My experience with shops is that every time I go in the mechanics find yet another issue, but Roger was transparent and even shared with me things I could do to save money. I highly recommended Motormania- they're gonna treat you right. read more

If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. I found them a few years ago, and since then, they've done a great job fixing my car every time I need something. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've had a challenging issue with my air conditioning (which is a thing that's known to go wrong in my car) and they've been great at communicating with me how they're trying to diagnose it and trying different fixes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's an old-style, no frills kind of shop. I appreciate that they know cars and get the job done. Their prices are fantastic, and they're always transparent with their pricing, offering options for lower cost when available. Recently, I took my car to the dealership to see if they could do a better job chasing my AC issue, and they let me know I had an oil leak that would cost $1200 to fix. Being the skeptical sort, I took it to Motormania and let them know exactly what the dealership said was wrong. Motorman let me know there was no current oil leak, that the oil leak the dealership had showed me was dried oil from a previous issue, and that my car was functioning perfectly. I trusted them before, but I obviously trust them even more now. Basically, I can't say enough good about the folks at Motormania and I will always take my VW there. read more

Best mechanical service for your Volkswagen in Texas! Thanks guys for keeping our Kafer (Beetle) safe and running great for the last 10 years. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Roger and his team are absolutely amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been taking my vw cars here since 2006 and I have always been told the truth and been given a fair price. Roger shows that there are still mechanics with integrity and a lot of humor left. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely amazing people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had received a bogus quote from a chain auto shop. I went to Motormania which a friend had told me about. They were able to diagnose the issue on my VW almost instantly and for a way better price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Customer service was top notch I'd even say better than the dealership.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I own a 1971 VW beetle and live in Fredericksburg, Tx. I have been using them for years.For minor service up to a complete motor and transmission repair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great work and they always treat you like you are their only customer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rick. read more

I've been bringing my Volkswagen Tiguan to Motormania since high school and now well into my mid-twenties, they've never let me down. Roger and his team consistently go above and beyond, every visit has only ever been a positive experience. I completely trust them with my car and truly appreciate their honesty, expertise, and care. read more

I'm from San Antonio and haven't even trusted people over there with my car, and they got me in on my schedule even though I work before they open and even after they closed. They were still able to get me in and out during my lunch and was on time for work. Definitely recommend this read more

Lesson Learned.........You go to a place and the first time, they knock it right out of the park. Great pricing, great service, quality parts, a perfect sale. The next time you go back.......same thing........ Time after that........Same thing........(WTF?????) Then you find the root cause........ Yup........They are ACTUALLY a quality shop that does great work and uses quality parts. A shop that cares. Truly a Unicorn in a business filled with jackasses......Remember the name, remember where they are. Motormania Rare indeed. read more

I love these guys. Honest, great work and super fair prices. In my experience these days it's really hard to find a mechanic that is honest and doesn't try to sell you stuff you don't need. [[HIGHLIGHT]]These guys would never do that. I trust them completely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Good and fast service. They diagnosed a fatal condition suggested by QualTech and fixed it in a few hours. Very nice staff.

In a world where many mechanics are deemed as untrustworthy/pushy and do a good job of showing it, Motormania off 620 in Austin is the complete opposite. They are honest, caring and we will never take our VW's anywhere else! Not to mention, they have adorable dogs, play Frank Sinatra while working and the OG owners are there everyday and are seriously the sweetest. I have never been treated so well at a mechanic shop, they wouldn't even let me plug in my own laptop cord, literally got on the ground and did it for me. They quickly fixed an issue that another shop left me with and I just have to spread the word that these guys are the best! So blessed to have found them and they forever have my business! read more

Roger at Motormania worked on an electrical issue on a used 2009 Passat I purchased some years ago. I brought it in several times, because after each repair, the issue returned within days. Ultimately, Roger told me that it wasn't fixable, and had an cash offer waiting to purchase the vehicle as junk. At the time, I appreciated him going out of his way to make it convenient to get rid of the car, as it appeared I had purchased a lemon. About a year later, I had moved to Seattle area and started noticing regular TX toll tag charges to my account, on the same vehicle and license plate. Someone was driving my irreparable lemon on the toll roads, using my account. I'd love to hear an explanation for this, and if I'm satisfied I'll update my review. read more

Well, I'm not sure how often someone receives a 5 star rating for charging you the same but getting less - but that's what happened here. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I asked Motormania / Rodger for a quote to replace front and rear pads + rotors for 2014 Mazda 6. The response was $430. So I read that and thought that's a pretty good deal. We had called around and received quotes for the same from $600-$1000. I just figured they were reasonable in their labor. The reason I picked them was not because they were the cheapest, but because they were the ***only place*** that revealed what brand parts they used. You have no idea how important this is. I don't want cheap parts, especially stopping parts going into my wife's car! Most places said they use quality parts. If they can't tell me the name they are using the cheapest parts from autozone and they are CRAP. Anyway Roger got my business because he used good parts. That was my decision mark. Not price. I'm ild enough to know that cheapest usually isn't the best and most of the time you get what you pay for. So my wife takes here car there to get the brakes done. They tell her ahead of time ( on the phone) her appointment is at 1 and it will take roughly 4 hours. They also said they might have to replace the brake fluid for x amount of dollars. I forget the exact amount but it was reasonable so I said sure. Anyway she gets there and they inspect the fluid and say they it does not need to be replaced. ******Sweet! You know they are honest.******** Anyway, they drop my wife off at MOD pizza and Starbucks down the street and continue to work on the brakes. ****nice little bonus surprise - glad she didn't have to stay in the shops**** Anyway, when they are done, they pick her up and told her rears brakes were just fine and did not need to be replaced. ***interesting part coming up*** She got home and told me this and she's excited because her car stops smoothly now. She shows me the invoice and I was like WTF!?!?! They charged $430 to fix only the front brakes and that was the price quoted for front and rear. So I immediately called Roger. He answered and I explained the situation to him. He said that quote sounds awfully low but send him an email and he will look and call me back as he was driving at the time. I sent Roger the screen shot of what I asked and what he replied. About 5 minutes later he called me back. He said the completely understood why I thought they did us wrong. Anyway he explained that what he forgot to include in that response was that he didn't think back brakes would need to be replaced and total cost for front was that price. He also explained that he had to take a hit in some of the parts for that price. He asked what I wanted to do. I told him had I know It was that much I would have done the job myself. I did my truck brakes about a year before. We had a pretty in-depth conversation about this. He understood my point and I got his. I'm a responsible person. He asked what I thought was fair. I could have easily said $215. Roughly 1/2 the quoted price( front and rear cost is roughly the same - $430/2=215, this $215 for front and $215 for rear, but I also know that's not right as the parts were close to $200. He asked what I thought was fair as far as a refund. I said $50. He disagreed. He thought $75. ***again, honestly and integrity**** He could have said I'm good with that, but he understood the miscommunication and wanted to do right by his customers. At the end of the day, we paid more than anticipated. Had I know the "original" price from the beginning I would have done it myself. But I'm happy We came here. Will I be back, it depends on the job. However, can I recommend Roger and his company who do quality work? - absolutely. Do I think he cares about his customers? - absolutely. Does he only sell you in what you actually need with quality parts? - absolutely. He could have told my wife she need rear brakes and a brake flush but didn't. FYI, the dealer told her she needed them. So while a miscommunication happened and I did not get my original deal I'm still happy that there are sensible people out there which have honor and a great moral compass. The world would be a better place if there were more people like this. read more

Roger and the rest of Motormania deserve 5 stars. The service is always fast and comes out at a great deal compared to what the dealerships have to say, Ive never had any problems with the services they provide in fact they have exceeded my expectation, and Roger has always made me feel comfortable in the shop whether it's the car we are talking about or the scorching heat. This place has impressed me to say the least, thank you! read more

German cars are as reliable as Japanese if you follow the maintenance schedule and common sense. I own VW and Audi and both cars are awesome. Turbo engines require more attention, especially in Texas, where summer heat adds more pressure on top of the modern engine precise engineering. I was looking for a place where people have knowledge and experience how to take care of VAG. Roger and Tom are great professionals and honest people. Reasonable price, original parts, everything was completed in a timely manner. I recommend this shop. read more

Roger and Tom are great to work with. Tom serviced our 1962 VW and got it running well again! I have a long history with this VW and am very thankful to have located Motormania. Thank you guys! read more

Roger & the entire team at Motormania are awesome. They are reliable, efficient, knowledgeable, fair and kind. I've been struggling to find a mechanic I like in Austin for my Volkswagen, but I can wholeheartedly say I'll continue to go back to Motormania. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the greater Austin/Round Rock area, whether it be for routine maintenance or larger car issues. Thank you Roger & team for a great experience! read more

If you have a air-cooled VW engine, this is the ONLY place you should bring your car. Tom and Roger are truly masters of their art and I wouldn't trust anybody else with my car. They really are a treasure and treat every car that comes through their shop as if it was a dear family member. Worth absolutely every penny. I dread the day they choose to retire! read more

Roger and the motormania crew are experts in the niche of German made cars. they know their craft and the nuances of these better than anyone!! better than the dealership! they're fast, their workmanship is that of the kind of men that take pride in their craft. their word is good, and the way they treat customers is indicative of why they have been in business 41 years. these gentlemen are the best at what they do. don't waste your time going anywhere else. these guys are the absolute best with German made automobiles!!! read more

I've never had many issues with my car however this past year I took it in for an oil change. After the service the mechanic working on my car Tom (who was also a pretty fun guy imo) was able to point out there may be an issue with my rear wheel-- I needed a wheel bearing replacement. Im not too familiar with cars, but the owner Rog was able to break down what work needed to be done in a language that made sense for a newbie like myself. I was quoted at a fair price and had a reliable team working on my car. I also live across town, but the 40 minute drive is surely worth it when you have people you trust working on your car. Highly recommend this shop! read more

Couldn't thank them enough they've always been able to squeeze me in to look at my car. They're kind and honest with all the work. Probably the most reasonably priced for VW repairs. read more

These guys are AMAZING. Theye quick, courteous, friendly, straight-shooters. NO WOMAN TAX. they always go the extra mile. Like wiping down my interior perfect and/or topping up my fluids. Highly recommend. read more

I would trust the guys at Motormania with my life. And I guess in a way I do, since I trust them to work on my car - the screaming metal death trap that carries me to and from my life destinations. I have owned three Volkswagens. And as any German car owner knows - finding a mechanic that works on them and works on them WELL is nothing short of an impressive feat. After leaving my home state a few years ago, I knew I'd have to find someone new and after begrudgingly allowing Firestone, due to convenience, to change my oil for about a year (of which had the wrong model written on my car's file - despite how many times I corrected them) - I finally decided to pay a visit to the little shop I pass almost every day. The office is classic and quaint, guarded by a friendly Shepard dog (sometimes another little dog too!) and adorned with thank you notes from an array of happy clientele. Roger greets you, asks what they can help with, offers his input, and then heads into a more formal diagnostic if needed. Sometimes people seem like they know what they're talking about simply because they exude faux confidence, but with Roger you can tell that this guy is just genuinely knowledgeable. His best guess is usually right and if not - he's not far off. If I'm out and about and have a question or a problem - I'll call and Roger is more than happy to assist over the phone. Moving on from the office to the garage scene - I'm fairly certain Tom has done the majority of repairs and services on my cars. I've met him a few times, but they're a busy shop and I know he's often in mid repair. Despite the volume of cars they see, even my most complicated repairs are done in a day, if not less. I've lucked into walk-in availability for oil changes, and they're usually more than happy to take a quick look at a squealing belt or mysterious leak. Most parts are kept on hand, are genuine VW parts, and are offered with a warranty. I don't bother getting second quotes for pricing anymore with Motormania either. I know I'm getting the best price hands down - and even if not, I know at least it will be done right. I also know that if they're telling me a repair is urgent - it is definitely urgent - and is not just a cheap scare tactic to make me drop money on my car right then and there. Anyway, this is quickly becoming a novel, so I will cap it here. Motormania has been a blessing, and I'm grateful to have found such a respectful and knowledgeable shop for my VW here in Austin. A big thanks for Roger and Tom and the rest of their team who continue to excel in service and business. You've made me - and my car - very happy. read more

These are the best mechanics for VW's in this town. My 20 year old Passat had many problems, and they fixed them all. She's running like a new car. Thanks Guys!!!!! read more

These guys are the best. Very trustworthy and better than any VW dealership. You cannot go wrong with them.

MotorMania went above and beyond to get my Volkswagen Passat running smooth again. Roger was proactive and kept me in the loop with everything my car needed done. With their help I have successfully driven from Texas to California without a problem. I can't thank them enough! read more

This is the BEST place to take your VW or Audi They are trustworthy, honest, reliable and fair. The Audi dealership quoted me an astronomical amount to fix my car and Motormania identified the same issue and repaired it for a fraction of the cost What else do you need to know?? They are nice guys too! I wouldn't trust anyone else to repair my car read more

Roger and the guys are the best. Seriously. I'll never take my VW anywhere else again. These fellas are honest, friendly, communicative and, most of all, know their stuff! My bug went haywire and acted like it was possessed. The driver's side window rolled downed wouldn't roll back up. Took it to these fellas and they got my window up asap so I could make the trip to Houston to meet with client and not freeze along the way, got parts ordered so I can bring it back next week and get everything as it should be. I'm not so in love with my VW Bug, but I sure am in love with these guys! Thanks, Roger! read more

I highly recommend Motormania! These guys are great! They are honest, quick, and really care about making sure things are done right! My son ran over one of those fun concrete dividers in the road one evening, as it was hard to see, and ripped the transmission pan pretty good. I needless to say I was worried about what damage he did and how much this was going to cost. I called on a Monday morning and talked to Roger who was kind an patient with all of my questions. He quickly assisted me with a tow and had my car fixed the same day. Honest, Reliable, and Friendly. He even took the time to talk with my son about basic car maintenance and things to look for. Don't hesitate to call. read more

If you own any vehicle manufactured by Volkswagen, this is the place to come for service and / or repairs. It's not a real fancy place but they sure do know V Ws. You could go to a VW dealership and drive in and speak with the "Service Writer". I'll give you a clue as to what their job is: You want fries with that? Yes, their job is to sell you service or repairs that you really might not need. I have found motormania to be completely honest with V W owners. They will not sell you repairs that you do not need. They will do the service or repairs that you do need and the job will be done correctly and priced fairly. What more do you want? read more

Roger & his team are amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, honest & reliable. Thanks for taking such good care of my son's car.

Such a super place! As a single female, I am always apprehensive taking my Tiguan in for repair. Been scammed more than once!. Not here. Roger was honest, kind, and is one of the hardest working guys you will ever meet! Let me tell you, these guys know VW's! He knew what was wrong just by listening! And he was 100% right, once hooked up to the diagnostic machine. He also helped me with my warranty people...which is no easy task! Rates are fair, work is impeccable, (and fast!) owner and staff are top notch. If you need your VW repaired, quit wasting time and GO to MOTORMANIA!! I will never look anywhere else again. Thank you Roger and crew. You are truly appreciated. read more

Fair. Honest. Knowledgeable. Roger and his team are saviors for my of out-of-warranty German car. He's helped me keep my Audi on the road and running great. He's thorough in his explanations and honest in his assessments of what's urgent and what's not. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Roger and Tom are awesome. I had an issue with a noisy tappet/lifter and was worried I'd have to replace the lifters and possibly other issues I wasn't aware of. Called Roger and spoke to him and after listening to me realized the car had sat for a week (I had to replace a busted steering wheel bearing) after an oil change. Roger said to let it run up to temp and it would probably be just fine since the oil had probably just drained down from the tappet. Sure enough... 15 minutes after starting the engine the noise was gone! I know my way around a wrench and do a lot of my own work, but for things I either don't trust myself to do or just have a concern that I may make matters worse I ALWAYS take my car to Motormania. They know their stuff, they're honest, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car. They could have made a hundred or so bucks off of this job by just telling me to bring it in... but they didn't... just shows how amazing these guys are! read more

Let's face it going to the mechanic is like going to the airport during SXSW but sometimes it's gotta be done! I can think of no better people than the tried and true crew at Motormania! Roger, Tom, and co. have always done right by me. This time it was my wife's 2009 that we will run to the ground! It had an ignition cylinder problem which Roger quickly diagnosed. Once completed they took the car for a test drive and informed me the we needed new belts tensioners, etc. The car had been howling like a hyena but now it's purring like a kitten. Thanks gents! read more

Brought my 2008 Audi TT in with a difficult to diagnose noise related to the A/C. They spent time eliminating possibilities rather than just replacing parts. As it turned out the A/C needed to be evacuated and recharged. It was quite a relief to find out that was all that was needed. I expected a major bill for a 12 year old A/C system. You can trust this shop to repair it properly. Dave S. read more

I've dealt with Roger and the guys at Motormania on several occasions over the past 2-3 years with my 2006 GLI and they have always been honest, forthright, and fair. I just had a new turbo cutoff valve installed this morning and they completed the work in record time. Roger always offers a fair price, fine work, and a friendly handshake. If you decide to take your VW or Audi over to Motormania make sure you say hi to Kaiser the "guard dog" as well ... he's hard to miss at the front door :) I highly recommend Motormania for your VW/Audi service needs. read more

I've had our 2003 Eurovan serviced at the two VW dealers in town and have had experiences that ranged from so-so to nightmarish. In all of our dealings with Motormania, I believe I've always gotten the straight story from people who actually "get" what it is to service and maintain a VW. No pressure to "fix" stuff you don't need fixing. Your options are laid out for you, and you decide what makes sense for you. Seriously, if you have a VW - do yourself a favor and go to Motormania. Honesty, integrity, and competency are the three words I'd use for them! read more
