I don't have alot of money and when my window of my car was unexpectedly smashed out I called my dad. He said to get the part myself from A1-Imports. The guy Matt there was so friendly and helpful. He pulled the part for me from their junk yard that day and had it waiting for me when I went to pick it up. The part cost me $25 when new it would have cost over $100. He even told me where I could take the part to have it fixed. Most repair places won't let you do this, they make you buy a part from them. So I save a bunch of money. I'd go back there in a heart beat if I ever needed too. These guys are straight up.

I'm kind of ambivalent about talking about my favorite auto mechanics online. I wish them the best for keeping my car running all these years, but if they get TOO popular, it might mean a longer wait the next time I take my car into the shop. Oh well, they deserve the business.
I got my first car nearly 10 years ago. It was an '87 Chevy Cavalier, and I paid $100 for it. Within a week it developed a coolant leak, and I took it several places to fix it, but the fix never lasted. When it leaked again and I had to pull my car over on MOPAC to avoid baking the engine, I called a tow truck, and the driver recommended AALOTUS. They repaired it, and I never had another coolant leak.
AALOTUS is in South Austin where the clientèle aren't exactly rich, so they tend to error on the side of keeping repair costs as low as possible. They've managed to keep my $100 car running for almost a decade, without me going broke in the process. Most repairs were $100-$300. Once a few years ago I was forced by circumstance to take my car to another shop in a richer part of town. I was told my car needed a new engine, which would be several thousand dollars. They charged me $75 for this diagnosis. I couldn't afford that, so I dragged my car to AALOTUS, where they fixed my car for $60 (the main problem had been a loose spark plug). The engine has been fine ever since. I got a refund for the $75 diagnosis from the other shop.
I'm writing about the location on South Congress managed by Bill Cox. There's another location on 615 Burnett and I have no reason to think they're not good too, but I've never gone to them.
I've been so happy with AALOTUS over the years that I wrote a letter praising them to the Better Business Bureau. You'll see it on the wall in their shop, along with others. If you go there, tell 'em Goodman sent you.

Ok, so I have been to a Lamb's before, but not like this one! It is very nice and clean with comfortable chairs and friendly employees as usual. I went in to get some routine maintenance and was very suprised to see how nice this auto shop is! Usually getting car repairs done is an annoying errand, but this time I actually didn't mind it. Good job Lamb's!
Pros: Nice and New
Cons: none

I recently purchased a Mini Cooper from Lone Oak Motors. Bruce was so very attentive, straightforward in answering questions, helpful with information about the car, financing, and paperwork, and pleasant. I typically hate dealing with car salespeople -- Bruce is no typical sales person. No pressure, no hassle -- just plain honest business. I thoroughly enjoyed buying my car from him.

I visited this store for the first time because my tire was rapidly going flat.
The gentlemen behind the counter were very nice. The waiting area had new magazines, newspapers and free bottled water and coffee.
Imagine my surprise when a gentleman call for me when my car was through He said NO CHARGE for fixing the flat.
:-)
Pros: Professional personnel, free water and coffee, new magazines
