Called because I needed my battery replaced- the man on the phone seemed less than enthused. Ended up taking my car in because they were able to fix the same day. Upon checking in I was not greeted, no smiles- the same "I hate this job" attitude - this time with an estimate for me to sign. Because my car has 2 batteries and I knew that the aux battery was also probably in need of replacement I asked if they could please check that battery's health as well. Two days later my car does the stop-start at a stop light but COMPLETELY DIES. Obviously the second battery was not checked and needs to be replaced. Now it's causing strain on the main battery that I just replaced!!! In conclusion, I won't be taking my car back here nor will I recommend Austin Automotive to anyone I know. I understand you have 1 guy answering the phones and running the front desk- but maybe it's time to replace him with someone more interested in doing their job?
I am sorry Jara. Our Manager is a great guy and has a 4.7 star rating which is exceptional in the automotive industry. As far as a technician failing to check your secondary battery I apologize. The secondary Battery is for the auto stop and start portion of your system and when it goes bad it can in some cases not restart the vehicle after it shuts down at a stop. They both have been updated on the stop start system.
