Elite Import Auto Service

Excellent service for the over 10 years I’ve used Elite. Very convenient, timely. Everything is explained well by Dan (the owner) even if you don’t know that much about your vehicle.
Nothing about imports is cheap, however, so expect that. Usually they get needed parts at the time needed, rather than keeping a large inventory except for oil filters. Dan really knows his business!

Follow up! I recommended Elite to a friend of mine who took his vehicle in for service. He mentioned to Dan that I had recommended him. Dan remembered me and told my friend that I can have a free oil change for sending him a customer! What awesome customer service! That is customer appreciation at it’s finest!

This is a top notch shop that does top notch work. Friendly and knowledgeable with the latest in diagnostic equipment. They have solved several complicated issues on my vehicles. They were very helpful by giving me a ride to work and back when the job was completed.
You can not find better people than Dan, Phillip and Ed to work on your car and get it fixed right!
They have repair every vehicle I have owned and I have always been extremely happy with their work.
They resolved a check engine light, did a brake job and a purchase inspection for me.
While the name my lead you believe they only work on import, they do work on domestic as well.
They do full line repairs as well as regular vehicle maintenance.
Friendly, honest and professional. Those are the word that describe Elite import auto service

Elite is a modern shop with the latest gadgets.
Dan has reprogrammed the computers on our diesel trucks we work on, he even went out of his way to get a very difficult one done for us. The shop is always clean and the jobs are always done on time.

No stars! Rude. Liars. We desperately needed them were told they were good and was told by an employee that they would at least look at the car today. After 2 hours they did not look at the car and finally fessed up that they could not even look at the vehicle let alone fix it. Poor business practice and the old mans a jerk. Sweet dog tho. Also, it took him a year and a half to respond to me on Unilocal!He has no clue who I am or what I needed. Thanks for nothing!

I have had Phillip at Elite work on my cars for a couple of years now. He does outstanding work and the prices are very fair. I never have to worry about an estimate coming too high or with unnecessary repairs. I have had other shops, even the dealer, take advantage of the fact that I know very little about cars. Phillip and his bosses are all very ethical, and their work is impeccable

I’ve only dealt with them a couple of times, but both experiences were great. I have an old, odd and difficult 1982 Alfa Romeo that most garages won’t touch. Joe at Elite is an Alfa specialist and was more than happy to help sort out an ignition problem. The repair came in under budget and he also sorted out a couple of related issues without tacking on additional additional hours for the jobs (some places like to charge you a block of hours per repair, so even if it takes them 2 hours to fix one issue and 10 minutes to fix something else, they’re separate repairs and thus the 10 minute job is now a full hour of labor).
I was also able to buy some difficult to find parts from the shop to do some work on my own. Joe was kind enough to lend me some necessary, and of course impossible to find, tools, as well as detailed instructions.
My advice on mechanics is to find people who love cars. They want to see them on the road and making their drivers happy. These guys have that quality in spades.

Dan has been working on my cars for 20 years since his days at Bob Tyrone’s old shop. He has always done great work at a fair price. It helps that I am a car guy, and have a pretty good understanding of how my cars work — I usually know what is involved in every job and why it costs what it does. I really do not care for the modern car dealership service experience, where you never get near the person who is actually doing the work. Dan is always happy to explain what needs doing and why, and in the few times where a problem was not quite fixed they have always stood behind their work. I have complete trust in Dan, and he and Ed always go out of their way to make sure I am happy. I can and do recommend Elite without hesitation.

Ed + Dan are absolutely the BEST. I started taking my 2003 AUDI A4 there when it was no longer under warranty for service and soon realized how much dealerships overcharge. But not Elite! They are kind, courteous, extremely knowledgeable and above all, honest and fair. Plus, they help with tows and help set you up with Enterprise Rent-​a-​Car nearby, if needed. Referred to me by Austin natives, Elite is simply the best, for both imports + domestics.

These guys absolutely rock!
This past summer we had a problem with the car’s a/​c. Instead of ripping us off for a new compressor, as they could have, they figured out that the unit had been clogged with some insects. Cleaned it out, replaced a belt. Perfect repair really inexpensively.
Today we took it in for an oil change, tire rotation, and state inspection (which they sub out to their buds at Shreve Automotive). Failed the first inspection because the gas tank cap was apparently leaking. Replaced the cap and it passed with no problems. Again, they handled everything with no BS, and resulted in a *very* reasonable bill.
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how important it is to find an auto shop you can trust, especially when you’re new in town. They’ve made life-​long customers out of us!

Brought my car in due to two cylinders misfiring. The only thing that controllers the two cylinders is a shared coil. I suggested the coil was bad when I brought my car to Elite. Turns out I was right but for some reason I had to pay for six hours of diagnosis time.
I received my car back with the Check Engine light still on. I was told it was due to a seperate issue and would have to pay an additional fee for that seperate inspection. Since I was already ripped off I said forget it.
Took the car home and read in the owner’s manual that after a check engine light is on a fuse has to be pulled and replaced. This is suppose to be common knowledge for mechanics but Elite tried to charge me to do it.
To add insult to injury the guy on the phone said I needed an oil change. For a laugh I asked how much he would charge… are you ready for this…$ 68.99!!!
If you enjoy giving away money give this place a try!
