Century Automotive, Austin TX

This has to be the most honest mechanic shop ever. My wife and I have been coming here for years to service and repair our vehicles for a fraction of the cost. When the dealership told me I needed new brake pads I balked. I brought my car to Century and Joe (rip) took a look and told me come back in 6 months. We finally changed the pads 18 months later. He never charged me for the intervals when I brought it in to check pads. I was a customer for life by that point. Joe’s son Travis has taken over after working side by side for years with his Dad. He continues the friendly honest reliable service tradition. Austin is lucky to have this gem.

Extremely helpful and communicative on everything amazingly priced, and wonderful service that felt friendly! You won’t retreat going

I have been going to Century for over a decade now. I send people there anytime they experience vehicle challenges. Travis is an honest small business person that knows anything/everything about any issue I have encountered. It's great to know that I have someone I can trust with my cars.

Best shop I’ve found so far in ATX. No place is perfect but last shop told me to junk my car and Century just fixed the clutch issue for $200. Still rolling 3000 miles later.

Travis and his team are great. They fixed my A/C in one day after a summer without it. Couldn’t recommend Century Automotive more.

From the first call I knew we were going to be taken care of. I had talked with multiple other shops that gave me crazy quotes for AC repair. Once I got on the phone with Travis he gave me realistic numbers for different situations without even seeing the car. In the end it was 30% less than he quoted which was a wonderful surprise. 11/10 recommend this place. Also nice to support a local family business.

I was trying to find a trustworthy shop to figure out an A/C issue with my car, and read some good reviews about Century Automotive on Reddit. Travis set up an appointment for me and advised me to show up early because they were very busy, and now I see why. I have a decent level of experience working on my own vehicles and I knew right away I was in the right shop. He diagnosed the problem pretty quick, and gave me a quote under what I was expecting and told me he would have it done the same day. Later that day I picked up my car and the A/C is blowing colder than it ever has and operates perfectly. I highly recommend this shop, these guys really know cars and do good work at a fair price, they are a great example of how automotive shops SHOULD operate. If I have any other issues with my vehicles outside of my own understanding I will without a doubt be back. Excellent service, Travis is the man!

I had some issues with my 4Runner's AC just in time for summer. I called Travis on a Monday and he said I could bring it in the next day. Not only did they get the AC blowing cold again in a matter of hours, they also fixed a number of other small issues with the car that had been bothering me for years - all at an extremely fair price. Honest, humble, friendly guys. Can't beat it.

A 'hidden gem' for auto repair. If u blink you'll miss the street u need to turn to get to this great auto repair shop.it's my go-to auto maintenance place from now on. I previously went to another shop for many years and never thought I would change. But I did and I'm very satisfied with my decision.

Great and speedy service at a reasonable price. I was seen same day I called and was out of the shop within the hour. Highly recommend and will come back for any future repairs.

Honest, friendly, hard working. And they like explaining what the issue is which I really appreciate.

I've been going to century for years now. They have been honest and helpful. My ex-wife, children, and friends all go to Century for car repairs. They are friendly, helpful, and most of all straight forward. They have an excellent network for referring work out that isn't work They do in house.
They will give a fair price and the time frame for completion of a job. Multiple times They have told me what I need to do.
Since they are not a corporate franchise they don't have the quota need nor do they have to worry about it since the customers they have are loyal and consistent.

This is the BEST, most trustworthy mechanic shop I've ever been to and I've been to several around TX. Joe, Travis and the crew are very helpful and fix what needs fixing and that's it. I completely trust them with my car. I've had to have several things down to my little old car and they have always came through for me with professionalism and won't overcharge!
My Dad uses them and I've referred others that use them as well.
I wont take my car anywhere else. As long I'm living in Austin, I will use them to service my cars. You won't regret taking your vehicles here, I promise!

Travis & co.are the best! They're fast, reliable & affordable, highly recommend!

Travis and Team have kept my 2009 Rav4 in PEAK condition since I started visiting them in 2017. They replaced my oil, alternator, brakes and flushed my transmission over the past 6 years and have ALWAYS done it for a fair price (cheapest I've found around Austin.) They typically have me in and out in 6 hours and recently did an alternator/belt repair for me the day before thanksgiving on last-minute notice. Other shops quoted me $600, Travis charged me $440. Cannot recommend this shop enough!
