Im new to Austin and finding a honest auto and body shop for the repairs needed on my vehicle after being rear ended was not something I was looking forward to. Thu was awesome from the get go. He explained every detail of my repairs along the way. He also gave me a discount due to the length of time and other expenses I incurred during the time my vehicle was in his shop due to the insurance companies. I highly recommend 5Star Auto.

5 Star auto did a great job of replacing my ball bearings. Really honest and transparent. Great and quick service. No delays and they truly troubleshoot the issue. They even did an alignment before returning the vehicle to me. Will use them again.

Honest professional work that is a worth every dime. There are many shops here in Austin that Ive been serviced by, but this one has done work to several of my foreign vehicles that has lasted and comes with warranty. They stand by there work and do quality work and walks you through whole process, thats what separates them from the rest! Five stars from me all the way! Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants great work done.

Thu, who I think is the owner, is honest and ethical. Much lower prices than dealerships. Ive used them for some 10 years and have never been disappointed.

I loved this place they are professional and friendly. Hes always available, very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and courteous. Ill recommend this ship to anyone, and the pricesare alwayss right. Number 1 in north Austin by far! 2Thumbs up👍🏽👍🏽

5 Star did a full suspension replacement in a day and a half with great custumer service. EXCELLENT SHOP!!!

Very friendly and professional, replaced my leaking power steering rack at half the cost the Honda dealership quoted - and had it done within the day.I will use them again and recommend them to everyone for sure!EDIT: I brought my car in for a routine inspection and they took care of it, didnt charge any diagnostic fee. Even cleared some of the brake dust without me mentioning it - above and beyond as always!

They earn their stars. Only visited them twice and pleasantly surprised by their exceptional service each time.

This place is fantastic. Fast, friendly and they do great work. Truly lives up to their name!

These guys have bern servicing everything me and my two buddies own for over 4 years now (except Tesla and motos) and even our grown kids bring vehicles to them. On time, on budget, every time. Nice, polite and they remember you and your vehicles and keep great records. A bit of a drive but only a $20.00 Uber back and well worth it for what I save every time. Never have had a single problem with a repair or an estimate compared to actual bill.

At 5 star, when I had my Mini, they always took care of me. They always made time for me to get in with my very busy schedule. Very accommodating to you and your time and their time mind you. A good price and place to help you keep your car running. This is the most honest and trustworthy mechanic I’ve ever been too, never doubted their word. I recommend this to all my friends to this day, it’s a great place to go to if you’re needing reliable and quick work.

Great service.. great communication.. fast work! Dont hesitate to bring your car in..

5 star auto is my go to place to take my car. As long as I am in a driving range I wont take my car anywhere else.

This shop is amazing, having a history of bad experiences with other shops my experience with this one was a breath of fresh air. I read lots of reviews for many shops because I love my car and I needed someone who would respect my car like I do and I found it. I had wheels painted, a dent the size of a dinner plate removed and new wheels mounted with an alignment and they aced it with precision and speed! I’m excited to take bring my vehicles to this shop and highly suggest others do the same.

Best mechanic I’ve dealt with by far! I went through another mechanic, and even a dealership, and they just kept giving me the wrong diagnosis, and failing to fix the actual problem. 5star auto not only figured out the issue, but they managed to secure an affordable part. Prices are transparent, service is great, and they actually know what they are doing.

Honest mechanics doing wonderful work at a good price, especially for Austin.

My dad told me to go here. This is where my dad always take his cars when need fixing & I’m glad I did he saved me a lot of money and is a fast turn around, Was very honest as well. I came all the way from Killeen Tx to come here and I don’t regret it. Definitely recommend this place. I’ll definitely be back if I never need a help with my truck.

These guys are very professional. They quote you a fair price. They are very fast in getting your car back to you. They tell you everything that is wrong with your car. You should be very comfortable in doing business with these guys.

I completely regret going to another shop which was recommended by a co worker in the past. They did not do a great job compared to 5 Star Auto! Comparing my two cars, I wish I couldve taken my first accident to this shop! I got into a car accident and couldnt decide where to go that would cost an arm and leg. After past awful experiences, I am scared to pick another wrong place.Of all the car shops on Lamar, I highly recommend 5 Star Auto!!! They did an amazing paint job on my car! Took the dent out and looks brand spanking new! The white color on this car is not an easy match either! Their service and delivery was on point! Communicated very well and friendly. Theyre even more nice then the actual dealership Ive been handling with the past week!!Before and after pics posted.Highly recommend!

Affordable pricing, quick service, and really good work. I’ve sent probably 6-7 friends here and all of them also had positive experiences.

Thu and the crew are amazing and awesome mechanics. Been taking my cars to them for years. Having different makes and models from Chevys, Fords, Lincoln, and Dodges in the family he takes care of then all. Very honest and reasonable on repairs.

Hands down the best mechanic experience I have ever had! Long and his team were beyond professional and knowledgeable. Brought my truck in to have a new A/C unit installed and now it works better than it ever had from the factory. If you are looking for a top of the line honest mechanic that will get the work done beyond your expectation look no further than 5 Star Auto. I am now a lifetime customer!

Good people to work with.

I love this place!Two is an awesome employee,Friendly,very professional and the staff is as well👊

My friend sent me over to get my clutch slave cylinder replaced. Not only did they do it for 300 bucks less than what others were charging, they finished it in about a day. 5 stars for 5 star auto.

I am constantly blown away by the level of service and integrity these guys provide every time I take my car in, and they have become the only place I will take it. Unlike other mechanics who nickel and dime you every time they have to turn a screw, these guys will actually throw small services in for free (e.g. went in for a schedule maintenance, asked them if they could look at a dimple in the back bumper plastic...when i picked up the car it was fixed and they didnt even charge me!). They do that in addition to having the lowest prices Ive ever found in Austin. They will even text you photos of problems they find, explain whats going on, and tell you the options for fixing it.They chose their name well. I couldnt recommend them more highly.

Awesome alignment shop always happy with the outcome great staff and friendly!!

Very impressed with walk in service, I was there less than an hr for AC work and price was very responsible. Definitely my new mechanic shop!! Very professional!

Its never a good day to have to go get work done on your car. However, it makes it all better when you have a team of people that you can trust and count on to get it right. The name says it all. They are a 5 star auto!!!!

These guys are great at what they do! Great pricing and service. Will be taking our cars there for any issue or maintenance. You guys rock!

Excellent service, good price and very professional. I highly recommend them

Hands down the best shop! I write several reviews, but if you only read one then make it this one. I have taken all of my vehciles here for about 9 years. Always great service and reasonable prices. I have referred many friends and coworkers here and they have always reached back out to me to tell me how happy they were. I have taken cars here for mechanical as well as body work. Highly recommended!

One of the best and honest mechanics in town! I’ve always had a great experience at Long’s shop and I recommend all of my family and friends to him whenever they have any car issues. He’s knowledgeable, efficient, and very professional.

Absolute best experience when having to deal with insurance and body work. Long is very detail oriented and does excellent quality work! Add me to the list of satisfied customers. Thank you 5 Star Auto!

My husband loves them

Great Experience! They were able to change my oil, clean my air filter on cold air intake and the also let me know that my 2 front break pads needed replacing. I was able to get some work done using their WiFi while they got everything done! Definitely going back if I needing anything else done on my car

5star is the place I trust best quality and done rightTrust me after years knowing this place I can guaranty this is the only car shop you need in you life.

Good service and good quality work, they take pride in their work...

Im a little late with this review but Long and them did an awesome job repainting the top half of my car considering the rough shape it was in. He even tried to work with me on the price some too. He also was able to FINALLY fix my leaking windows/doors, which myself and other shops have been trying to fix for years now.

A place that truly earns its name. Long has been amazing to work with. Theyre so busy but they find the time for you. They give you tips for things to try at home, and are honest and upfront with pricing.This is a shop you normally just dream of.

AN HONEST REPAIR SHOP!Its hard to trust a mechanic when you know they hold all the cards. My family vehicle had a flashing check engine light and wasnt drivable. 5 STAR team diagnosed and researched the problem to find it was covered by a dealer extended warranty. They recommended I take it straight to the dealership and didnt charge me a dime.Take your car here!

This is the best auto shop in town!!! Long is very knowledgeable, he seems to know everything aboutall vehicles, they have worked my Lexus, Nissan Titan, Honda Accord and Chevy Silverado.I wouldn’t take my vehicles anywhere else. Everyone at the shop is fantastic, very professional and friendly. The work is always done in a timely manner and done right. The price is very fair and you don’t have to worry about being taken advantage of here, that will not happen.

This is one of those hidden gems you dont want to tell people about because its so good, you kinda want to keep it to yourself.Simply put, Long and the boys at 5 Star Auto will take care of you at an affordable rate. Ive taken a Nissan and a Hyundai to long for really big repairs. These guys will take the time to talk to you and discuss what theyd like to do and if there are any issues with the repairs.Not only that, but every time Im there, these guys seem efficient and busy. Theyre already a popular shop and have a lot of customers, but they still seem to have a great turn around time for your vehicle.These guys are awesome

Great service and customer service🤓👍

Long is the most honest, helpful, and informative mechanic Ive ever dealt with. He was less than half the price of the surrounding mechanics, has my Tacoma running like a beaut, and had it done before they said it would be. I could recommend this shop anymore! Theyve got a lifetime customer in me.

I have 6 old cars and counting and this shop is the only place that I will allow to do my alignment or diagnose something on the car I cant figure out. Very reasonable prices, quick service, no jerking your chain when it comes to repair and cost. If youre looking for the last of the straightforward and honest mechanics, these are your guys!

Best service ever! I cant say enough good things about these guys! Friendly, fast, they guarantee their work, and so affordable! The only thing is that they are very booked so it can be hard to get in. Thanks guys!

Great service. I am so pleased with the recent job they did for me. They prepared everything they needed and did this job in one day! Will definitely recommend to family and friends!

Excellent service and it doesnt take a long time! Highly recommend!🤔

These guys know how to work on cars, had the best experience and their prices are right on point.

True to their name! Honest pricing and great communication. They were able to squeeze us in on a full schedule, finished working on our vehicle ahead of schedule, and they even stayed late at the shop so that we could come pick up our vehicle after a work day. Very friendly staff!

I cannot say enough positive things about this company. He is honest, fair, and great about communicating vehicle issues and how to repair. We live in Lakeway so it is a hike to get there but we will not use anyone else. He has worked on 3 of our vehicles and has always done an excellent job. It is refreshing to find an honest, knowledgeable mechanic!

If every business were as honest and amazing as this location, we wouldn’t even need reviews. I come here absolutely every time I possibly can. I live in Leander and I still make the trip. I would dare say that even if I lived in San Antonio, I would travel all of the way to North Austin to come here for auto repairs. If you come here more than once, the owners makes it a point to know who you are. I have also been able to get much more affordable pricing here than anywhere else and with QUALITY work! Others have recommended mechanics closer to me that they swear work for a good price but I have become a loyal customer: as long as I live in a hundred mile radius.

These guys are awesome. Very professional and responsive. They repaired brakes on BMW with no issues. Got me in and out in no time. Keep up the good work guys. We need more businesses like yours. Thanks.

Honest people. Always a pleasure to work with these guys. Long and Tu are quick to respond.

I recently had an accident with a practically brand new Honda CRV (~2500 miles) and cringed at the thought of having to go through the process of getting my car repaired. I visited almost all of the bigger shops for estimates and each interaction just made me more wary of the process. This was an out-of -pocket repair so I was particularly price sensitive but I was also not willing to sacrifice on quality given the newness of the car.Some shops were warning me ahead of time about expected delays and also telling me that there could be potential cost overruns if they were to break something during the process (as a consolation, I was told that I would only have to pay cost if that happened...two places told me this). Neither of these things is what one would want to hear before dropping their car off for repair.I chose to visit 5 Star Auto based on its reviews which surprisingly was almost all glowing. I went in without an appointment and Long was the individual who helped me with my estimate. He approached it in a fair and practical way by trying to find ways that could potentially save me money without affecting the integrity of the job. I was pretty impressed by his approach, his estimate and the reviews that this place had gotten so I decided to take a chance. I dropped off my car on a Monday and was told that I would get a call later that day with an update. I actually received a call from Long later that day telling me that he believes that he can save me some money on this repair based on his initial findings.As you can imagine, I was pretty excited about the possibility of saving money but was still wary about potential surprises. Well, I wasnt wrong about the surprises as I got another when I was called on Wednesday telling me that my car was not only finished 2 days ahead of schedule but that he was able to save me about 15% off of the estimated cost. The car was cleaned prior to our pickup and to my delight, the car looked great. This was by far my best experience with an auto body repair shop (FYI, they do mechanical work too).

This place has treated me right. I intend to keep returning and to refer my friends, even though this place is often too full up to be able to get in quickly. Be thankful if they can get to you. I consider 5 star auto trustworthy, and thats why I took the time to write a review after my 5th visit.

Long and his team did an amazing job with my vehicle - hands down best experience I’ve ever had with a car shop.

These guys are awesome, honest and do great work. I was extremely pleased with my experience here and highly recommend these guys.

I have taken My 93 MR2 to Long and his guys at 5 star for a few months now for various things from wheel mounting/balancing, alignments, and even an A/C conversion. Each time the turn around was quick, the work was quality and mostly importantly the price was right. I mostly do my own mechanic work but its awesome to have a place that can do the stuff you dont really want, or have time, to do at a reasonable price.

Great service! They make sure that your vehicle is repaired and dont just replace a part and hand it off to you. I definitely recommend.

I’ve been taking my cars to 5 star for years now. They’ve always been extremely professional with their work. It shows that they care for the car and the customer and work with you to get your car in top shape. I’ve recommended 5 star to countless friends and family and will continue to do so.

Theyre honest and fast. They charge parts at cost and you get mechanics worthy of any dealership without the exorbitant labor rates. Many times in the past when Ive had an issue or needed an oil change, I would call and be told to come in the same or next day when it was convenient for me and then would be helped right away. I usually deal with Long but both head mechanics know their stuff and dont try to upsell you like youll have to deal with elsewhere.

Excellent service. Fast, very good pricing on services (had my shocks replaced) and an extremely knowledgeable staff. They told me how to keep costs down on another repair I need to make. They have earned my trust! Ill definitely be back.

I brought in my 09 Honda Civic which was having severe suspension issues. This shop did all the repairs for nearly half the cost of other places I received estimates from. The car drives as smooth as can be now. They are very honest with exceptional customer service. I highly recommend 5 Star Auto to anyone needing repairs or maintenance.

Exceptional service and work. Thu was prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous. I was charged a more than reasonable price for replacing a side mirror on my beloved Honda Accord. I would highly recommend 5 Star Auto to anyone looking for excellent work at a fair and decent price.

Excellent service

I recommend this place for all your needs. My repairs were done fast. The final paint job looks great! Just ask for Long. Great job!

5 Star Auto has the best prices and quickest turnaround Ive ever experienced with an auto shop. Longs knowledge of cars is extensive and he goes above and beyond your expectations.I wouldnt trust anyone else with my car. Ive been going here for the last 2 years and will continue to for the years to come.

Dont hesitate to give these guys your business. They do quality work at a fair price; repaired my bumper and saved me having to replace it. The level of service is in the name.

Noticed uneven tire wear when doing an oil change. Called 5 star auto and got a same day appointment for right after I got off of work. They took my truck back 5 minutes early, brought me out a diagnostic print out of everything wrong with my alignment and an estimate of all the costs. Work was done timely and I got a second print out of all the corrections and no surprises on the bill. Couldnt be happier.

Honest pricing and fast service, a rare combinations for auto mechanic! The place can be crowded at times and parking is a premium, but employee there are always knowledgeable and courteous. Cant recommend enough. 5 stars and 2 thumps up!

The guys here at 5 star auto do an awesome job, try their best to fit you in even if you attempt to make an appointment on the same day. The prices are fair and are lower than pretty much all the shops in the area. I would highly recommend 5 Star Auto.

This place is awesome. I was referred by a friend after taking my car to Daves Automotive who wanted $5000!!! to fix the engine torque mount, power steering rack, valve cover gasket, and whole laundry list of fluid flushes and other unnecessary stuff on my 2003 Camry.Long (the owner) is straight up, no BS, no hustling for unnecessary repairs, or other nonsense that most auto shops try to sleaze hustle you for. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know.

Good guys. Good mechanicsIve used them when my regular place could not get me in for some small issues. Talking to other people in the waiting area they told me they were regular happy customers. If I didnt already have a longstanding relationship with my mechanic, I would definitely be going here.

Im a auto dealer and have brought hundreds of cars to 5star Auto for over ten years now. Its been a wonderful journey to see them grow. They have been nothing but honest, efficient, reasonable and super helpful. The type of company that will look out for you as a customer.

Ive been going to them for a couple of years now and Long and his team are top notch.. They never add any frivolous charges and service only what is required. They get to it quickly and get the job done with high quality and economically.** 5 Stars ***-Siva Rama

I was referred to 5 Star Auto by a friend after an accident. They are very transparent, do the job right, and only recommend services if you need them -- no funny business. They even gave me a follow up call after I picked up my car. I recommend them to anyone needing car work done.

I dropped off my car right before closing on a whim since my friend was picking up his car. My AC unit on my car wasnt blowing cold and had gotten an estimate elsewhere which totaled $900. I brought it to 5 Star and they were able to quote me the exact same job including labor and save me about $600. Im now a customer for life!! Sending everyone there!!

Honest, very reasonably priced and committed to fix only whats wrong. I have been bringing my Lexus here for almost five years and have everything replaced from AC, window regulators to a timing belt. Long, the owner, cares about his customers and will only do what is necessary to get your vehicle back on the road. I would highly recommend 5 Star.

I trust them with a car which is getting old, until I manage to sell it. They are not ripping me off when they totally could, and they have been excellent at remembering and understanding what work has already been done. I keep coming back not because they dont fix things but because they extend the life of a car which has gone though a lot! Go to them. They know what theyre doing.

Ive been taking our cars to 5 Star Auto for over a year. I have a 2007 Saab 9-5 and the other car was a Hyundai Elantra with almost 200,000 miles. Long has kept both cars running a lot longer than other auto repair shops and at a very reasonable price. I recommend 5 Star Auto for all of your automobile service needs

I got my car aligned for such a great price and they were honest and very detailed with everything. They seem very knowledgeable. Definitely will come here again.

5 Star Auto is a place you can trust. These guys are talented, hard working, and VERY affordable. I was shocked at how little the bill was for all they did to my car. This is my go to shop in Austin.

I take all 3 of my cars to 5 Star. They are always friendly, quick, professional and have fair prices! Only mechanic I trust in the area!

Quality work for a great price. I now take my 04 runner and will be taking my 14 charger SRT in to be taken care of as well. Great job guys!

Fantastic repair shop! Its hard to find a good shop but I did, I wont bring my car to any other place. Great service and staff, very honest. Ask for Long!

Great service and fair prices. I take all my cars to 5 Star Autos. Honda, BMW, Audi.

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE - There is a real reason that this place is called 5 Star.I bought a 2016 jeep patriot with 40k miles on it in 2017.Around 100k miles the brakes started squeaking badly between 0-5mph and 20-30mph. I had the rear brake pad, rotors, and calipers replaced at Kwik Kar in south austin for like ~$450 parts and labor, a complete rip off, and the front brakes were still squeaking.A coworker recommended to go see Long at 5 star. Not only did Long replace my front brake pads for ~$220 parts and labor, a fraction of what I was quoted elsewhere, but when minor squeaking continued, a result of a rusty brake cable, Long removed my break cable, soaked it in lubricant for a week, and I have not heard a single squeak in almost a month. If that wasnt enough, he charged me nothing to work on my car when I brought it back to him.The team at 5 star isnt trying to work anyone over, theyve been honest with me, addressing ongoing problems free of charge. I would give 6/5 stars if I could.

I’ve been coming here for years, and the service has always been great. Dependable and honest shop!

This shop has taken fantastic care of us, and Ill be back if my car ever acts up. Fantastic attention to detail and service. Thank you!

Excellent service at 5 star auto. Mechanics are very knowledgeable and detail. No BS. Fair price

Very professional and super trusted!! Not like any place I’ve been too. I don’t ever write reviews but here we go They’re by far the fastest and best service I’ve ever experienced! I have a SRT8 Charger that got hit two days after getting exhaust work here plus custom work done here which was absolutely beautifully done in a day!!! The next day someone hit my car.. long story short they replaced the bumper matched the paint SPOT on and went above and beyond other things that happened from it. It was extremely quick too. I am actually a referral from my buddy who’s been going here for years, this is a place I will go for life! Thank you for you service

I have used them so many times in the last five years and they have always proved to be reliable, provide excellent quality of service and charge fair prices. I strongly recommend them.

By far my favorite Mechanics! Ask for Long, hes very knowledgable, experienced, and patient. The best thing is they dont overcharge! I highly recommend them.

Real mechanics who do real quality diagnostic & work, not just throwing parts at a problem.

They always take good care of me and my Chevy truck,for a great price and on time.

Gor my wheels aligned right at this shop. Reccomend to everyone.

Thanks for the timely, professional repair. I live in El Paso so they really helped out!!!

Great service, fair prices and allowed me to specify alignment settings.
