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.
