"I stopped by Meineke for the first time..."about 10 years ago after going to a Just Brakes and being told I needed $500+ worth of repairs IMMEDIATELY and if I chose to drive away they would not be responsible for me KILLING somebody. Yeah, right. I drove up the street to Meineke and ...

"You can trust this place!!"I read a lot of reviews before I decided on where to take our Kia to get the brakes repaired. I emailed Austin Auto Techs and told them what was going on with the brakes. Hugh replied very quickly giving some ideas of what he thought was wrong. He got us in very quickly and had the repairs done within 24 hours. The price was exactly what it should have been...no overcharging. We even left...

"Trustworthy & Fast"I have visited this location several times. I feel they are honest... they don't try to rip you off or up sell to the point of annoyance- like most car care centers. They are always friendly!
"brake service boo"I have had the worst time with getting my brakes taken care of with them. The first time I went they stated nothing was wrong with my brakes when it was grinding, squeeking ect. I asked for them to please take a test drive with me so I could have them hear. Once they heard the noise they said that maybe my rotor needed to be resurfaced. This was done and within a week it was grinding and...

"fast and reasonable"I took my car in for an oil change and wiper blade replacement. They fit me right in and were very professional. During my oil change they mentioned that I could use a new air filter and wiper blades. I said go ahead and then was worried that it would be overpriced. To my surprise, it was VERY reasonable and I did need new wipers! I will be back to this Brake Specialists Plus or any other...
"HORRIBLE SERVICE-STAY AWAY!"This place is a JOKE. My car was in and out of the shop for 2 weeks because they kept ordering the wrong parts for my car. They misdiagnosed a part, and were going to charge me $200 more for the part than it actually cost (i had to call around myself to get the actual price) They kept calling me to tell me my car was ready, then calling back and saying it wasn't. When I finally went to...

"NTB gave up -- Firestone on 71 West -- no problem!"After a totally frustrating morning at National Tire and Battery -- where I bought two of the tires on my 96 Ford F250 pickup -- I went to see Ed at Firestone on HW71 near the "Y" in Oak Hill.
I warned him that NTB had been totally unable to balance my wheels. (See review for NTB on 290 West). He made no promises in case there was some underlying problem but, in fact, I took my truck up to...
"Should have just waited 'til Monday to begin with"Went in and told them I thought I just needed a tune-up, they said they'd have to charge me $90 for a diagnostics check. 3 hours later they told me it was like a puzzle and they had to start by replacing this and keep going until it worked. They didnt even have the parts. I asked them to just change the spark plugs like I originally asked, they didnt have those either. Told me my struts were...

"Always provided good service"Located right by my house; so, we have taken both of our cars here for every possible thing you can think of. They seem to be some of the few honest mechanics out there. They have given me honest opinions on the need to replace my brakes and didn't always try to add work that didn't need to be done. They replaced an alternator on one of our cars that ended up going out not long after the...
"Stranded on the road after they fixed my truck"I took my truck into this shop to fix a brake leak. They were very rude & had an attitude with me because I would not fix all the different things extra that they wanted to charge me for. I overheard the tech that test drove my truck after the repair telling another tech that he had driven the truck with the emergency brake on, which of course he wasn't going to tell me. I then drove to work...

"Avoid at all costs"Do not go to this business. I took my car there for an oil change. The mechanic said that I needed new front struts, a transmission fluid flush, and a new cabin air filter. Fortunately, I took it to another mechanic (An Honest Mechanic: highly recommended) who told me that the struts were fine, the car doesn't have a cabin air filter and it didn't need a transmission fluid flush but...

"Good service, reliable by Steven L. at InsiderPages "We've taken four different cars to this shop for service and tires. We have had bad experiences with other shops in Austin, and these guys have consistently taken good care of us, given us breaks on cost, and done what they've said they'd do.
PROS: Price, service, consistency
CONS:
"Don't shop here for tires by Nicole P. at InsiderPages "We bought tires from them and they went flat from a manufacturer's defect. When we went back, they charged us to fix it. Then they told us they shouldn't have fixed it, they should have replaced it, because the traction was bad. They said it would last a few months. Had they told us, before they fixed it, we would have just replaced it, and payed $20.00 bucks more. Now were going to have...

"Avoid this business at all costs - Sole Objective is to fleece"Resisted my warranty very hard - had to pull teeth to have them honor the warranty.
Then they wanted 2.5X times the competition to do other brake work to cover their warranty costs...........I can go on how terrible my experience was but for you the bottom line is go some where else for your repair needs.

"Not Trustworthy At All"I went in to get an alignment. I came out with over $700 worth of surprise charges. And that's only because I canceled/stopped the remaining $650+ worth of "absolutely critical" work to get a second opinion. After all, my car had no symptoms of ANY of the supposed issues--and although I'm just some stupid chick who apparently appears to be lucky to even dress herself, I figured a second...

What started off as a $400/ 3 hour job ended up being $1800/ 9 day job! They essentially refused to give me my vehicle after the initial workup and I had gotten a better quote from another shop.

I was on my way back from one of the many rip off artists in town, a little jaded about some of the attitude and pricing i had been recieving, and decided to stop in to see if this place had anything better to offer.

"Bunch of Thieves and Crooks"My AC broke down and you know the summer is very hot, and I heard that this store was running a no charge special to check out AC problems. They checked out and said that it was the O'ring leak and the total for the parts was $46 and $170 for labor. I questioned the $89 / hour service charge that was displayed, the manager Tim said that it takes 2 hours of labor and he discounted some on...

The manager was nice and friendly and gave it to me in plain English. As a matter of fact, instead of gouging me he had prepped up several options to meet my budget. Not only that, he gave me the rundown on every little detail...
