It’s virtually impossible to find a mechanic that you trust implicitly; believe me, I’ve spent years trying. Clay Holmann and the staff at Austin’s Automotive Specialists of Cedar Park earned my trust from the very first time I walked into their shop, thinking I needed an extremely expensive brake job. They could have done the repair that I specifically asked for, and I would have still been satisfied with the prompt and friendly service and the high quality repair. Instead, they told me I needed a much simpler and considerably less expensive fix, thus ensuring my loyalty from that time forward (which may have turned out to be a burden more than a boon, considering my ancient and cranky Kia Sedona). Time and again since that day they have saved me - both money and sanity - through their honesty and their kindness. I have been a loyal customer for many years, and I’m actually embarrassed that I haven’t written a recommendation long before this, because they have certainly earned it repeatedly. Clay has good-naturedly supported me through some of the toughest times in my car’s life - and there have been many of those - which, as Murphy’s Law dictates, have coincided with some of the toughest times of my own life. Far from taking advantage of my various desperate situations (which many mechanics in my experience have done), Clay has frequently gone above and beyond to make sure that my car, at least, was one thing I didn’t have to worry about. He treated me as a friend, not just a customer, in a world where true customer service is vanishingly rare. Clay and his staff treat every customer with friendly professionalism; the resultant relaxed, upbeat atmosphere in the office makes it pleasant to hang out there while my car is checked. The waiting area is clean and bright, coffee is provided, and the staff are genuinely nice. I recommend Austin’s Automotive Specialists of Cedar Park to anyone and everyone who asks; I cannot speak highly enough of them. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, and will continue to be for as long as they are in existence.

Speedy and reliable service! I always trust my car to the guys at Austin’s automotive specialists. I’m always greeted with a genuine smile and always receive service that exceeds my expectations.

The guys are so honest!! Handsdown THE BEST!! JT is awesome!!

Great Place - Easy to work with and met the committed time line.

I was looking into buying a new vehicle and wanting to have it checked out. Clay was great about fitting me in and gave me honest feedback about purchasing the car. I will definitely go back here for any car issues I have.

Clay and team are great. Provide transparent feedback about what needs to be done to the vehicle and work with you to get it done in a timely manner.

I have nothing but great things to say for this business and the people who work here. All around cheers. Its so refreshing to find a place that is actually 5 stars plus more. :) Our family will gladly be driving over here from Leander anytime to get this customer service. :)

Clay and his team are simply amazing! My 71 year-old mother took her car to Christian Brothers last week and came out with a $621 quote for brakes. Today we brought it here for a 2nd opinion at someone's referral and came away so grateful. Brakes did not need any work and they cleaned out the wiper fluid lines at no charge for her. It's refreshing to find honest people with integrity who care about helping customers over making a dishonest buck. Our entire family will bring our business here from now on. Thanks so much for your kindness!

I went to Take 5 Oil Change by Lake Creek and 183 for an emissions inspection and was told I needed to brand new brakes because my brakes locked up during the brake test. Luckily they did not provide any brake services and told me to come back after I got my brakes replaced for the Emissions Inspection. I called Austin Automotive Specialist in Cedar Park for a price quote on replacing brakes. The gentleman, Clay, was super nice and explained to me that brakes locking up doesn’t necessarily equate to needing new brakes. They provided a free brake inspection and found my brakes to be perfectly fine. They also do Emissions inspections, and went ahead and completed one for me. I was very satisfied with their customer service and my experience here. The guys that work here are good honest people, super friendly, and saved me a whole lot of money and trouble! A big thank you to Clay and his team!

Clay and Todd are awesome! Techs also know what they're doing and fix it right the first time. I've been to this location several times and always treated well. On one occasion Clay stated they could not fix my issue and recommended I take it to Ford in which I did. Had they known what the code was exactly no doubt they could've done the work, but not all information is retrievable some times. They shoot customers straight as well, while waiting on another vehicle of ours to get repaired a customer walked in and wanted an oil change in which there was at least a two hour wait. They were prepared to wait in the lobby for it, but Todd told them the chairs were not that comfortable (which is true, lol) and if they'd prefer going home and waiting comfortably then return in two hours he would get them right in! That's top notch service in my book people! I highly recommend them for your automotive needs big or small! Great service guys!
