I am so grateful to Joaquin and the fantastic team at Lopez Auto Repair - they've always taken great care of my vehicles, and are honest, very reasonable with their pricing, and don't take advantage of their customers! Such a relief to have such capable and kind people doing good work in this world. Highly recommend their services.

Dropped car off and car was ready earlier than expected. Needed transmission fluid changed and tires rotated. Reasonable prices and seem to know what they’re doing, unlike some of these quick lube shops.

Very honest, quick response, and great service! I always prefer to bring my car into a small family business like you guys instead of a big franchise. Keep doing a good job! Thanks for helping me out with my car!

I'm traveling through and my car stalled. They replaced a piece and everything was dandy. A couple miles away the check engine light came back on, it was verified by another mechanic it was fine and just a glitch in the system. A good place for sure. The car is working good, even after my 17 hour drive home. This is the place to go to.

First off I'm not from Austin and l was up here when my truck broke down. The thermostat on my truck just went hot. I had to rent a room for the night and looked up places to fix my truck. This location popped up with good rating and reviews. I guess most people don't know much about fixing cars but just need to get their car fixed. Which is why I'm gonna leave it 2 stars. I should of follow the repair me website instead and went to a certified place. I barely made it to this place because my truck was running hot and could of destroyed my engine. Being said l just wanted to fix

Great service! Great turn around time! Great Price!

Juan is super friendly and knowledgeable. I was promised my car by Friday and I got it back on Wednesday. He calls with updates along the way and I never had to wonder what was going on or when I would hear something. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

They were so great in helping me out with a very odd request in a timely manner! I like that it is family owned and I would trust them with any repair if they serviced my brand of car:) Great service and very helpful- 10/10 recommend these guys.

Amazing work from these guys and they don't try and up sale you on your car and all this non sense that most car places try and do. They are 100% business which I appreciate.

These guys are great. Listened to my tale of woe, offered hypothesis and stated clearly what tests they needed to run. Told me they would call in 3-4 hours with an estimate and did so. When they called with the estimate, told me they would have it ready by the end of the day, and they did. They even hung out a bit after closing time to give me the chance to arrange getting myself there to get the car. Cost was as estimated. Everything about the experience was excellent.
Of course, I would rather not need repairs again, but when I inevitably do, I know who gets my business.

They did a fantastic job in repairing my Jeep Cherokee. Very reasonable rates and was done the same day as I dropped it off. Would absolutely use them again!

Excellent experience at Lopez Auto Repair over the past day or two. The nearby dealership quoted me an outrageous price on some straightforward repairs. Juan at Lopez Auto gave me a fantastic price, their customer service was impeccable, and the car now runs great. Lopez Auto has secured my future business ten times over, can't overstate how happy I am that I contacted them.

I went to Lopez Auto Repair for a 100k maintenance and some odd jobs on a 2011 Cadillac CTS. I was walked through several potentail outcomes of work that might be needed. I dropped my car off and received a call several hours later that much of the work that was quoted, did not need to be completed.

I appreciate the honesty, service and promptness! I will be using Lopez Auto Repair for future servicing.

You know when you're on the side of the road nervously waiting for the tow truck after your car starts smoking on the highway? Well wouldn't it be nice if a kind man approached you to inform you that you were in fact only a few doors away from their garage and they'd be happy to take a look at it for you? Wouldn't it be even better if they fixed your car right then and there and you were able to safely drive home, turning a potentially terrible situation into a happy one? Well, that just happened to me and I'm very grateful. His name is Joaquin and he deserves a cape because

I recently purchased a used car and was looking for a place where I could get a pre purchase inspection last minute.

I called Lopez Auto Repaid and they let me know I could bring my car in the same day.

Not only was I able to bring my car in to get checked the same day I called, the inspection was completed within two hours. This is a no frills repair shop that was easy to work with, especially when I wanted something done last minute. They did a full inspection and made me feel much more comfortable about my purchase. It turned out they ended up being the cheapest quote I received as well

Quick and easy replacement of my blinker bulbs. They were helpful, honest and the price seemed quite reasonable. I would definitely go back for other car needs based on my first experience.

Juaquin is the business owner and I trust him and his crew as they have always taken care of my car needs and never cheated me (I am a woman that does not know anything about car servicing or maintenance). I am greatly appreciative of his work and his business. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy mechanic.

Called on a Saturday morning to see if they would be able to repair my car (wheel bearing/hub replacement) and they said yes and sure enough they were able to complete the job and I had my car back that afternoon! Will use them again.

10 stars for Lopez Auto! Honest, hard working, and great mechanics. I called to have them replace my headlight bulbs (unfortunately my car was manufactured to have the bumper removed to replace the headlights... ridiculous!) and they quoted me the best price in Austin and stuck to that price when I brought it in.

Will come back for all my repair needs!

Thank you!
