Service was quick! James and Kevin were great and very helpful about what needed to be done. We didn’t have to be without our car for longer than 4 hours and the AC is working perfectly. I would definitely recommend AAMCO!!!

James has been great over the years helping us to keep my son’s car running through college. He gives us great advice on what’s important to fix in the moment and what we can hold off on for a little longer. Always gets us in and out and has made lots of great recommendations! 10 out of 10!

This repair shop is poorly run and I highly recommend you use another service and business. They repaired the transmission on my car and we had to take the vehicle twice within 6 months for them to replace the transmission again. During this warranty repair service they broke the 3 engine motor mounts and refused to fix and repair what they had done.

Fast service, honest service, and great prices. Good mechanics are worth their weight in gold and I so appreciate the transparent service. I also look very young and naive and they didn't take advantage of that, which, many mechanics have in the past. I intend to make them my go-to for car repair from now on.

A couple weeks ago my truck was having trouble shifting into higher gears, I took it here and they performed a more thorough diagnostic at no cost and in less time than the dealer, they found that a sensor had gone bad and needed to be replaced and the truck was back on the road for less than $900 and a couple hundred miles later it's still shifting great! Before I took it here I went to the Toyota dealer in South Austin, even though I had an appointment it still took them a whole day to look at my transmission fluid and determine that my entire transmission needed to be replaced for 8k... and they charged almost $200 for that. So I'll be back to AAMCO!

I have gotten my car worked on here several times now, for multiple issues, and each time I have been beyond impressed. Every employee I've spoken to is friendly and kind. They explain things clearly. They do good work and they do it quickly. And they make sure to give you the very best deal that they can every time. I will always recommend this shop!

The customer service I received there was excellent. They were friendly and I felt very welcomed. AAMCO was able to diagnose precisely what was wrong with my car. They were able to get my car fixed within days. The prices to get my vehicle fixed were very reasonable. It didn't break me. I really enjoyed their customer service and I had a great experience with their service in getting my car fixed. My car now runs a lot better thanks to AAMCO.

This was probably the best car maintenance experience I’ve ever had. James was incredibly kind and educational, he thoroughly explained the “why” behind his recommendation and the price was very reasonable. I recommend this business to anyone in the downtown Austin area who is needing service. You won’t be disappointed!

Brought my car in for a repair. I initially suspected a problem with my clutch, but it turned out to be the brakes. They were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process. James and his team diagnosed the issue quickly, communicated with me at each step, and repaired my car the very same day, all for a very fair price. They have more than earned my business, and I'll be back.

My transmission went out while working in Austin. James assured me they'd take care of it asap. Turns out he had my transmission fixed and ready to go much faster than quoted and in time for me to attend to clients the next Monday. He's honest, super smart and experienced in all things automotive. I'd trust them with my wife's and kids cars and my experience was excellent. I highly recommend AAMCO and especially James for your vehicle's issues.

I love AAMCO of Austin. I take all of my cars there from my old Jeep CJ to my wife’s BMW. James and Freddy are courteous, prompt and very knowledgeable. Car repairs are expensive but these guys keep the prices reasonable and they are very timely on the turnaround. If they say it will be done on a certain day, it is. Can’t say enough about the service they provide.

I had a wonderful experience (or as great of an experience as one could have at a repair shop). The dealer quoted me $500 for front and rear differential fluid change and I knew that was overly expensive. I called around to several shops and while other prices were lower, the shops seemed unsure about changing my differential fluid even though it was listed on their websites. Upon calling AAMCO on South Lamar, James greeted me warmly and was patient while pulling up a quote. He had availability the next day and said he would be able to fit me in and it would be done before the end of the day. I dropped my vehicle off at 11 pm and picked it up at 5:30. The price wasn’t far off from what he quoted me (it was a little less than half of what the dealer quoted me). I was extremely happy with the overall experience and if I ever have any transmission issues, I’ll be sure to bring my vehicle back to AAMCO.

Great customer service. James went above and beyond, was very helpful in making sure I chose the best option for my transmission repair. The shop completed my repair in a timely manner considering my problem was the transmission; ordering the parts and labor was done within 4 days. James communicated throughout the process and was very transparent about what my options were and what was needed. He was very pleasant and showed great customer service.

This place is great! I moved nearby and needed to get some things looked at in my car. After reading other reviews, I decided to give them a try since it would be super convenient. Since I know nothing about cars (a mechanics dream customer), I had to place a ton of trust in what I was being told and could only hope I wasn't being ripped off. I'm glad I did and won't hesitate next time. I had an unfortunate minor accident and did not realize the damage until after they did a thorough inspection of my car, which they did. Once I was educated about the extensive repairs that were needed, Phillip also made sure that I could afford to have it done. Within a couple of days, they had her back up and running and just like new! They are a bustling place (that alone should tell you that they are good), so you may need to wait a little longer than your typical mechanic, but I assure you that they make sure everything is done correctly and not just rushing to get you out. Phillip, in particular, is accommodating, and from the little I saw that man deserves a raise! Thank you, AAMCO!

PHILIP AND HIS CREW ARE AWESOME!!!! I took my car to 4 different shops before these guys properly diagnosed it as the transmission being done. I shopped around and AAMCO was not only the fastest but also a fraction of the price. Even though it was way more affordable than others I still couldn't do it because of a tight budget. Philip was not having it! He went above and beyond to help me out. This was big because I use my car for work. I was communicated with about every step and my car was ready a day early. I highly recommend Philip and the great team at AAMCO!

James is super friendly, as well as every other person that works there. I was getting my oil changed and they found both from tires were loose and about to fall off! He quickly came back with an itemized quote and gave me a card in case I had any questions for later. I came back the next morning to get it fixed, and they had my car out of there before 2PM. These are great people and I completely trust them.

Brought my overheating car in with no appointment, plus had a recurring issue other places hadn’t been able to adequately repair. They listened to my concerns, were upfront about pricing, explained the issue clearly, were super friendly and courteous, and got it fixed faster than i’ve ever seen anywhere take care of it with no appointment, and this has been giving me trouble for years. Will definitely be returning for any future issues.
