Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
I've been using Lawson for over ten years now. Once our vehicles are beyond the manufacturer's warranty and it's no longer necessary to use the dealership shop, I use Lawson's. They are professional and remarkably honest, and will spend a lot of time with each customer.

Critical: Professionalism
Not willing to work with brand new, non-electrical customer provided parts (hubs, control arms, ball joints). Was hoping I could rely on them after being referred, but owner told me no. Unfortunately continuing to look for mechanic willing to lend a hand with labor.

They promised to do the 20,000 mile service, basically an oil change, just as VW did. They didn't. When I called in because the coolant light came on and I asked if they topped off everything, they were rude and told me to just take it to the dealership. When I took it to the dealership, they found they didn't top anything off and didn't change the recommended filter. I wasted about $200 at this place and won't go back. I can't trust them and they didn't even try and make it right.

I live out of state and work in Austin in the winter so I don’t have the benefit of a trustworthy network of service providers. That changed today. I was referred to Lawson by a neighboring business and let me just say, these guys are professionals. They properly diagnosed and fixed the problem, didn’t try to sell me any unneeded repairs AND accommodated me on short notice. I had a great experience and highly recommend them.

About 20-25 years ago, I happened to stop by Lawson Tire and Automotive’s shop on a lark to see if they would honor a coupon special from a different, nearby garage.
It was then that I met Scott at the front desk. The rest is pleasant history, as Scott and his mechanics have served us well while maintaining our various Mazda, Volvo, Hyundai, and Subaru vehicles during these past 20 years, or so.
Personally, I’m 73 years old and have owned probably 20 automobiles and trucks since 1965. During this span, I’ve never encountered a more honest, upfront, and reliable group of auto experts than

It's extremely important to find an automotive shop that instills immediate trust and confidence. I've found it here on Hyw 290 with Lawson's. It was a brake job. Sounds simple, and it is. But it can create an atmosphere with concerns of over-charging, over-diagnosing, and over-stepping what's immediately necessary. And what do you know -- this was the exact opposite. Scott acts as an instructor and patient customer activist, answering all the anxious questions that are so often the case. They took care of my most urgent needs and gave me an overview on what I needed to be prepared for in the next

I've been a big fan of Lawson for many years, and I recommend them to everyone I know who needs to have their vehicle serviced or repaired.
Scott has always been up front and honest with me about my vehicles, the work they need and how much it'll cost.
Lawson has consistently been top notch in their work, ethics and affordability.

These guys are top notch. Extremely fair and honest, very knowledgeable. They will give you a no BS assessment of what needs to get done to get your car running and keep it in good shape, and will do only what's necessary - no up sell. They will even pass up on jobs if they feel they are not the best qualified and refer you to someone who can do a better job. Heck, I even overheard them sending a customer to another tire shop because the types of tires they were looking for were specialty and they would get a better deal there vs. having them order them.

Exactly what you are looking for in an auto shop. These guys are very honest, do great work, and are fair with their pricing. They helped me with two major repairs after separate wrecks, and they were a true partner in maximizing my dollars spent in repair. Would highly recommend for any repair work.
