Arboretum Auto Service

I have been going to Tony for 10 years now. Best mechanic I found in Austin when I moved here. He is honest to the core which is hard to find in an auto mechanic, especially the franchise type locations. Great work, shoots you straight and won't try to sell you something you don't need.

Great service and very trustworthy. Great spot in town for anybody who needs reliable car work done

I grew up in the family junkyard and heard the horror stories about some of the big chain oil change shops from employees who worked there so I'm always a little on guard, but Tony is very good. He goes out of his way to treat you right and look for the least expensive way to fix something instead of looking for the most stuff he can sell. And he actually knows how to FIX things and not just change parts. I trust him with my old beat up Tahoe and my nice sports car and everything in between. He's got decades of experience and does the right thing.

They do great work here for a good price. They stayed late in order to finish up my car and they took care of some minor body work for free in the process. I can't recommend them enough.

Best mechanic I have ever had work on my truck. Other mechanic was clueless and messed everything up. Tony fixed it and was beyond fair. Even if you have to drive a bit, this is the place to go in Austin.

Great Service offered by Tony! I had a noise issue with my car , Tony identified it quickly and he didn't ask for any diagnostic charges, also he filled up the oil to fix the issue with free of cost, thank you Tony! I would highly recommend his service

Highly highly recommend this place of service. If you're unsure about where to go to service your car...definitely go here. My car decided to break down while I was on the road, so I had turned into this plaza where, luckily, this auto shop was in. I had never heard of this place, but I went in and met this great guy named Tony, where I explained my situation. I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge, skill, and character as he inspected my car and soon knew what the issue was. My car's engine was the problem, and Tony explained how much it would cost to fix it and talked to me about other options. He gave me a very fair quote that was as low as he could make it. However, the story doesn't end there as I had a flight for work the next morning and wouldn't be back until a week later. I was put in a difficult situation but they allowed me to keep my car at their service for the week until I was back and when I offered to pay for that time they simply told me not to worry about it. I sincerely appreciate their kindness and left with a good experience. Again, I share that they have some great people with both skills and character here. I highly recommend you go to check them out.

I've been coming here I think about 20 years. They have always been very fair with me, never had a problem with things that they have fixed on my vehicles, and they also offer great advice when I needed it. I will keep coming back here for years to come.

This is the only place I will go to get my car repaired. I've been coming here for a very long time. QUALITY and honest work.

Tony and his mechanic's did a great job. I had a blown head gasket in my engine and a transmission leak, they showed me the service every step of the way and replaced the engine and all the auto parts that were needed correctly. While Tony was showing me the underside of my car I saw I had broken and leaking shocks, so I had him replace all of them at that time, there was no delay to the service for the added work I had him do. They are great mechanic's

Helpful, value for money and to the point

I've been and still a customer at Arboretum Auto Service for over 10 years. Tony was the person who maintained all of my family's vehicles including a 2004 Tacoma. From easy work like oil change to changing clutch, timing belt, oxygen sensors and so on. Never had any issues and never been stranded in my vehicles. I read some reviews about over charging, but all I can say is that Tony is the most trustworthy Mechanic I've known. In fact his prices are away less than dealerships and he gets more done as well. Thank you Tony!

My truck started making a strange noise while driving around. I called around with no luck to other auto shops to get it checked out, but was unable to find anyone who could help me out until I tried this business. When I arrived the mechanic was very friendly and helpful. He checked over the vehicle very carefully and let me know the possible causes of the noise, but reassured me that I should be okay to continue driving the truck for the time being until I could get it fixed. Highly recommend this place! Honest and reliable.

Most honest mechanic I've had work on my car in Austin. Determined problem and solved without a lot of unnecessary repairs.

Appreciate Lambs helping me out today with my car. Andrew went over and above to reso!ve an issue. Erik was friendly and helpful when I needed him to be. Lambs is great and handy for my location. Highly recommend.

I'm afraid to write anything here. If they knew how awesome Tony and his crew are, everyone will start crowding the shop and I'll never get in! So I'll keep this otherwise glowing review to myself.

Me and many friends have been taking our cars to Tony for over 20 yrs. Need i say more?

Feb 07, 2021

The owner did not repair my car properly and now doesn't answer my phone calls.

This is Wonderful

This shop has been great for years! I've taken mine and my kids cars there because Tony always looks out for us. Never an upsale just because. He knows what he's talking about and prices are more than fair?

Brought a beautiful car there 😍❤️😍 ❤️

I've used Tony multiple times, with a Honda and a VW. He is consistently the best mechanic I have had the pleasure to come across. His labor costs are fair and he doesn't inflate parts costs. And where other places will replace whole systems when only one part is necessary, Tony is honest with what needs to be done. In my experience Tony is more affordable and outperforms (specifically for my experience)Walmart, firestone, and Lamb's. He has saved my literally thousands of dollars. Worth a call in my book.

Tony knows his stuff. Good service and good price. You are my family mechanic. Thanks

Clean ,friendly , good sevice ,on time repair , step by step progress report will be there for you. They make sure the cost down and they treat you like a family. Mr. Tony is very good adviser and knowledgeable. Oral if I have any problem I should go to Tony I've already told her service he's in my good service tech shop.

I had to replace my brakes and rotors. I shopped around for estimates and Tony was an honest guy and quoted me a fair price upfront. He also restored my headlights free of charge. Would definitely go back
