Allstate Brake & Automotive

Alex is so awesome! Honest as the day is long. He is the only mechanic I trust with my car. He does good work & I trust his repairs to be reliable.

Most honest mechanic you will find.
I have his phone number memorized. How many phone numbers does anyone have memorized anymore?
I have been going to Alex for 20 years. Over the years, he has saved me thousands by dissuading me from getting work I didn’t need, saving me money on parts when it was ok to do so (but steering me towards the better parts when it made the most sense). He has even let me describe problems (including making sounds!) over the phone, and then walked me through a fix or stopgap fix over the phone to either save me from work, or at least save me from a tow.
Alex is a man you can trust, 100%. My wife makes him tortillas. He is the real deal.
Go see Alex with your next car problem. Once you do, you’ll never go to anyone else.

Alex is a skilled mechanic who will tell you the truth about what’s going on with your car. I’ve been going to him for 5 years, and ALL of my experiences with him have been very positive. When he does routine maintenance, he’s very careful to explain what NEEDs to be fixed now vs. what can wait a bit. And when there’s a problem, he will explain it in detail in a way you can understand. He’s very careful to check with you first before working on any unexpected problems. And you NEVER have to worry about him «inventing» problems and taking advantage of you. (I’ve suspected dealerships of doing this before). Prices are very reasonable, and he will give you a good estimate of how long the work will take. Simply the best mechanic in Austin.

I’ve been going to Alex here for the last 3 years, and he’s fantastic. Probably the best mechanic I’ve ever had. I’ve always been nervous about trying to find a mechanic after moving cities, especially as a woman, but some friends of mine told me about him, and I have never even considered going to someone else. He’ll show you exactly what he thinks is going wrong, and what it could be, and will always check with you before he starts working on something you haven’t discussed yet.
He does a really top-​notch job, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good, honest South Austin mechanic who doesn’t try to take advantage of women because we allegedly know nothing about cars.
