I bought my last car from Jim at Auto Depot. The price was great and it included a warranty that goes beyond what I'd found elsewhere. They've repaired my car for a couple of years, and now that I've bought a car from them, too, I would happily recommend them to anyone.
Pros: Honest people!

Very pleased with service at Dave's ultimate automotive. My car had been running with a pulsing, shaking feel for some time and Ive had other shops recommend fixing the transmission or starter. J.R. from DUA informed that I had a worn out hose that was causing to much air to be pulled in relative to fuel causing this now drastic pulsation. Really appreciated the detailed information, and now my car runs better than it has in a long time. I will definitely return to Daves for any future car problems.
Pros: shuttle, accurate diagnosis, car checklist

I took my '01 Montero in to have it checked out. Brakes were squeaking and not even and the engine was misfiring. Big job; but they got it done in 2 days even with a parts crisis! They are the only place I'll take it again, if I have to!
Pros: World Class Customer Service
Cons: none

I have a 2002 Audi TT Roadster that has had chronic problems, especially regarding the suspension, practically since the day it was brought home. My family and I became suspicious that Momentum Audi in Houston was not performing the work they said they were about 4 years after we bought it.
I found Pampered Auto Care in August of 2008, after a previous mechanic in Houston had forgotten to turn the reminder light off after one of the integral services. Pampered Auto Care didn't charge me anything for that so I decided to give them another shot when I needed more work done.
It turns out that that same previous mechanic had also forgotten to bolt on the driver's side sway bar after installing new struts, which had led to, among other things, that new left strut breaking. My mechanic Steve, who is their VW/Audi specialist, helped recommend a custom panzer plate (because the stock one was made of cheap plastic that did not protect the bottom of the car, and has led most TT drivers to experience a broken oil pan or two) from some custom part makers who he had worked with previously to design some jetta short-shifters.
Steve also did a custom install for me, on the spur of the moment around the holidays (because I only have one vehicle and can't afford to be without my car for too long), of some Koni Adjustable Yellows, Eibach springs, and specially made rear control arms. The car rides like a dream now; probably better that the day it was first brought home, and my TT is up for the daily challenges I put it through!
The prices always seem fair and reasonable, and Mark will call around to various parts suppliers trying to find you the best deal he can. There are never any surprises on how much things will cost...the estimates are always right on. If you have questions, the mechs will explain everything in layman's terms, and will even take you out into the garage to show you what's up.
If you feel like you are getting jerked around by your dealer's garage, be it anything from Ford and GM to Mercedes and BMW, I highly recommend Pampered Auto Care. I always talk other customers in the waiting room who have nothing but good things to say about this business, and I'm sure they will be able and willing to help you with whatever car problem you might have!

One of my cars was in Austin, I was in another city, with no knowledge of any local garage. The Barretts diagnosed the problem , kept in touch with me as they repaired it, and charged a very resonable price. I would recommend them to anyone.
Pros: Very good experience

Armadillo Auto Glass makes it painless and stress free to have your windshield replaced. Greg came out to my house less than an hour after I called to replace my windshield and was done within 40 minutes! He's a very friendly guy, professional, and fast. I had gone almost a year with a giant split across the front of my windshield only to find out it would take an hour and a half from when I called to have it replaced. I should've done this months ago!
I recommend Greg as THE man to go to for windshield repair. Thanks Greg!!
Pros: speedy service, great price, professional
Cons: None.

I have been going to McSpadden's for about 3 years and have never had a problem. They are honest, friendly and willing to take the time to explain how things work. If they aren't too busy, they will even take you back in the shop and show you the details of what they fixed.
Most importantly, on several occasions, they have had the chance to overcharge me and didn't. Once, my Honda CRV broke down driving to town and I took it to Howdy Honda to get fixed. Honda told me that the head gasket was blown and gave me a repair estimate in the thousands. They also pushed real hard for me to trade in the car for almost nothing and buy a new one. I was skeptical, so I took it to McSpaddens and they showed me that all that happened was that a nail on the road flew into my radiator and caused me to over heat. They replaced the radiator and the problem was fixed.
I've had a few similar situations where other shops gave me pricey repair estimates and McSpaddens showed me that the other shops were not really fixing the real problem. They are very knowledgeable and seem very honest.
FYI: The parts they use are from the dealer, so they may not be the cheapest, but they do it right so you don't have to have it done again
Pros: Very Personable
Cons: none really

I had a non-cooling A/C. Thought I might have some huge compressor problem, but turns out I just needed a dose of freon. Brian helped me on the spot (on a hot day) and explained dual a/c versus non-dual a/c and why the passenger side was cooler than the driver's. Maybe not the most exciting info, but good to know before you or an untrustworthy mechanic works you up about something that was just as simple as a little freon recharge and a little common sense regarding A/C's.
Pros: getting your car fixed quick by nice people
