Great experience with Ryan - had (what we thought) was an issue with the starter on my Toyota Tundra. Ryan diagnosed the actual problem quickly and ended up saving me ~$1K (only charged for the hour or so he spent during diagnosis.) Very professional, fair, and trustworthy. Will certainly be coming back for future service requests.

A couple of weeks ago, I hit a patch of gravel while driving, temporarily lost control of the steering, and skidded into a curb. I wasn’t going fast, but it was enough to break my front right lower control arm. Oh—at the time, I had no idea that’s what I had done. All I knew was that the tire was completely cattywampus—crookeder than a dog’s hind leg, as your grandpa might have said—and it was not moving.  As I was frantically trying to arrange for a tow while my fellow morning commuters expressed their sympathy with honks and colorful hand gestures, a guy passing by in his work truck pulled over and asked if I needed help with a push. I explained that I was pretty sure the front axle was bent, the car was immovable (and possibly totaled). That’s when he introduced himself as Johna, a mobile mechanic with MD Automotive, and offered to assess the situation.  Braving traffic, he crawled under the car, immediately diagnosed the problem, and even gave me a rough estimate of how much it would cost and how long it would take to repair. Truly, if I was destined to have this particular accident on this particular day, it was a godsend that someone so friendly and knowledgeable happened by. Johna helped me get my car into a safer place (I could drive a very short distance in reverse), gave me the owner’s business card, and bid me a good day.  I called Ryan Mura shortly thereafter, and Johna had already apprised him of my situation. Ryan was also very professional, quoted me a fair price for the repair, and set up a time to fix my car as soon as the part could be ordered/retrieved (a few days later). I had never used a mobile mechanic service before, but it made sense that their lower overhead meant they could charge significantly less than a brick-and-mortar automotive shop. I was so impressed by both Johna and Ryan that I decided to green-light the repair.  Come the morning of the repair, Johna arrived punctually, installed the new lower control arm efficiently, and checked related systems like the brakes. Upon test driving, while the car was once again drivable, it was clear the alignment was significantly off. Johna explained that alignment jobs require highly specialized equipment and precise calibration—something best done at a shop with the right machines and tools.  I really appreciated his frankness and honesty about his limitations as a mobile mechanic. When I took my car into the dealership the next day to get the alignment fixed, they told me that whoever had repaired the control arm had done a really good job.  Ten out of ten times, I would work with Johna and Ryan again. They were highly personable, highly skilled, and displayed a high degree of integrity in how they conducted themselves and their business (my repair was guaranteed for a year, by the way). While I hope I don’t need any more car repairs anytime soon, I feel like I’ve found my forever mechanics with these guys.  If, like me, you’re hesitant to use a mobile mechanic, consider this your word of encouragement. Five stars all the way.

Thanks again to Ryan. Called him thinking I had a problem with my starter. Ryan’s team was gonna be available to come within a handful of hours but after further conversations, he was able to determine that it just needed a new battery. Super knowledgeable & honorable! thanks again for the help and fast response. Will definitely be calling them if I have any car problems in the future!

NEED A TRUSTWORTHY MECHANIC? READ THIS BEFORE YOU GET SCAMMED  As I was racing against the clock to get my mom’s car back on the road—her only means of transportation after years of teleworking—you can imagine the anxiety of trying to revive a completely inoperable vehicle in under two months. I had to consider who would do the repairs, how much it would cost, and whether the timing would work out.  MD Automotive tackled every one of those concerns. I first heard about them through my boyfriend, who was referred by my roommate, and after seeing how satisfied they were with their service, I knew they were worth checking out. And let me tell you, they delivered.  From my very first visit, MD Automotive solidified my trust. Over the past two weeks, my car went from completely lifeless to fresh and ready for the road—without breaking the bank. The affordability alone was a huge relief.  Unlike places like Firestone or Lamb’s Tire Shop, where you’re hit with sky-high prices, an overwhelming list of unnecessary “repairs,” and the feeling that you’re being taken advantage of because you don’t speak mechanic, MD Automotive is different. They focus on getting your car running at its best for the long haul. More importantly, they operate as a team—supporting each other to make sure the job gets done right.  And the best part? They’re mobile mechanics! No more sitting for hours in an uncomfortable waiting room with no food, no entertainment, and nothing but time ticking away.  I have to give a huge shoutout to Brian—his expertise with my Nissan was outstanding. He didn’t just fix the car; he took the time to teach, inform, and be realistic about what needed to be done. For the average person, the inner workings of a car are a mystery, but Brian provided transparency, valuable maintenance tips, and a level of patience and collaboration that is rare to find in this industry.  Now, I know it might sound like I’m hyping MD Automotive up a lot, but trust me—it’s well deserved. I rarely feel compelled to write reviews like this unless a company truly earns it. If I had one minor critique, it would be the occasional two-hour delay for scheduled appointments. But honestly, when the trade-off is having a mechanic who is reliable, skilled, and transparent, that’s a small price to pay.  MD Automotive, thank you for serving the Austin community with passionate, trustworthy mechanics who genuinely care. I hope as you grow, you continue to provide this level of service because, in a world of financial uncertainty and limited options, it’s a relief to have access to a mechanic that actually looks out for you.  Don’t’ believe me? Give them a text/call TODAY and check them out for yourself!

Called MD Automotive Mobile Mechanic for assistance with our daughter’s vehicle that wouldn’t start. Ryan was very professional from the initial call to get pricing and time frame. Brian the mobile tech was great in diagnosing the issue and getting it resolved quickly. Thank you we appreciate it and highly recommend this business. We will absolutely use them again if needed in the future.

My car is a work and progress and not being from Texas it has been really hard to find a trustworthy mechanic that’ll go above and beyond to make sure whatever is wrong with your vehicle gets fixed one way or another.  Antwon is very experienced in his field and I’m very glad we stumbled upon him and his business. My first experience with Antwon I really couldn’t even tell you what was wrong with my car, but after a consultation he was able to diagnose it and completely fix the issue. (Engine work; complicated strenuous stuff that I would never be able to do)  I was driving what felt like a death trap before Antwon and his team went ahead and saved me from inhaling toxic car fumes that I’d been inhaling because I had no resources I could trust.  He has worked very closely with me and my car and I will continue to work with him. Thanks for everything Antwon!

Antwon came through within 25 minutes of our call. He fixed my car gracefully and we were very impressed with his service and character. I highly recommend ATX 512 mobile mechanic mobile global to anyone who needs service ASAP! You will be served excellently and in record time. Do not doubt this company, as they are some of the best in the area. Shout out to Antwon for real. 🙏🏼🚙💥👨‍🔧⏱️

We had a great experience with AT X512 Mobile Car Repair. Our car stalled, and they came out quickly to help us. The technician was very professional and friendly. He did a thorough and efficient review of the problem and fixed the issue properly on the spot. The whole process was smooth, fast, and stress-free. Highly recommend their service if you need reliable mobile car repair!

Just trust the process you are in the best hands in the Texas. I'm a traveling bartending came from Houston to Austin to work Saturday and Sunday. My car started smoking as soon as I park at work. I got in contact with these master mechanic around 7pm on a Saturday. They are so passionate about cars that they break down and explain everything that's wrong with your vehicle with excitement to fix it right. They obtain parts on a Sunday ( the Lord's day when everything is closed ) and replaced my radiator and tests it out several times. I was back in on the road Sunday night. They don't make mechanics like this anymore..

This man is amazing ! As a struggling college student this man guaranteed he would start my car and he did just that ! He helped me out so much , now I can comfortably commute to and from work. My battery connectors were corroded and fixed me right up for a nice price :D this company will go far and definitely recommend to anyone ✨  Bonus points : he was very genuine and understand of me as a person. He even gave me a motivational speech when I needed to pick my head up!

Thank you Hometown Hybrid.  John did a great job replacing my G3 battery. John arrived on time and was very knowledgeable and professional.  My experience with y'all was great from the start when I scheduled my appointment.  I sure am glad I found y'all on the Internet.  I am very appreciative.  Jeff Koch Lott, Tx

Had to have the hybrid battery replaced on our 2011 Toyota Prius. They were super helpful getting it scheduled and answered all my questions. No hidden fees - the price was as quoted and seemed like a good price for a new hybrid battery with a 5 year warranty. John, the mechanic who changed the battery, came to us, was on time, quick and friendly. Highly recommend!

John & Carlos were very professional and competent as they worked to replace the Combination Meter on my Prius. They have the job down to a science and were finished in 45 minutes!

The perfect solution for a very specific issue with your car. They are experts in replacing hybrid batteries, fairly priced, easy to schedule, and John was friendly & efficient replacing our battery in around 30 minutes. Very smooth process overall

I had a wonderful experience with Hometown hybrid. Our mechanic, John, came out the next day after we called and installed our refurbished battery for WAY cheaper than the dealership quote. He was knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about batteries and their refurbishing process as well.

I’m giving it a 1 only because they showed up to do the job (putting on a simple 02 sensor) but the communication was horrible. When they said they were on the way the time kept being pushed back because they had to stop and eat and all these other petty excuses. The lights were still on and they advised my son he needed to drive it about 30 miles before the lights would go out & he did that they were still on so he reached out and no response. I like the convenience of them being mobile but their customer service sucks and the fact that when I asked the girl to reduce the labor she acted like she was doing me a favor; especially after they were 2.5 hours for the appointment time.

Nicole was great. Super professional and got the tire and battery back to normal quickly. Great service!!

I had limited money and wasn’t trynna do major repairs if I didn’t need to. so I paid for a diagnosis to confirm my starter did need to be changed. By having them do the repairs they  waived that diagnosis fee. Saved me money!! And they came to me!!

Literally called them and had them send some one over to me within 45 minutes. I needed a quick fix for my splash guard. John, helped me and explained to me very clearly what he was going to do and what usually the best practices were.  If you are asking for their help, specially after regular hours, be respectful to their after hours fee policy. I called them around 10:30 at night, and had my thing fixed by 11:20.  They are open to negotiate based on the job needed to perform.

Ken responds to his text right away. If you are stranded on the road he shows up and fixes it. However give him at least 24 hours to come out. Reasonable prices and saves us the towing expense if you are stuck. Highly recommended

It's not cheap, but they do come right to your house to fix your car--and it's not as costly as going to the dealer, especially if towing is involved. The mobile mechanic that came to my house is smart and capable. I'd use them again.

Curtis was an absolute life saver. The starter for my car went out while I was at Target getting flowers for my mom who is in the hospital and they very quickly came down at 8 PM and stayed until almost 10 PM fixing my car. They have no idea how much of a life saver they were. I would 100% recommend this service.

Just finished a diagnostic service with Curtis and Justin of Silicon Hills Mobile Mechanics and could not have been more pleased. The service was done efficiently, and scheduling an appointment was quick and easy. Both mechanics were very helpful and knowledgeable and they went above and beyond what I asked for. Going forward, if I do have any issues with my car I will be contacting Silicon Hills first.

The $300 jump. Be aware it costs a total of $300 for them to come out just to look at your car. I called Theo on Sunday evening and he texted me back. Seemed like a scam but he did call me and verify he was human and was at the time very cordial and professional. His texts about fees and a pick up servive(bc my car wasn’t at my apartment) were misleading (attached). The first text says there’s a $150 mobile service fee and then way down in a separate text he says there’s a $150 diagnostic fee which at the time I thought was one in the same bc the texts were pretty far apart. It would have been easier to understand of both fees were put in the same text. Shame on me for not catching that bit it is a little predatory. Saw other reviews saying he’s not good with women and this is 100% true. I had my friend who gave me ride to my car with me and he was trying to call me down because i was shocked that he was charging me another $150 after simply “jumping” my car. Basically $300 for a jump. I still need a new battery but now have to wait for pay day again and figure out how to get to work. As we were having a heated discussion he had all his 5 star reviews pulled up and honestly was unprofessional about the situation. He kept saying “we provided a service, did we not?” Also saying “if you towed your car it would be the same cost” bit I didn’t two my car. As a matter of fact I mentioned towing my car in a text and he said not to so this was a little narcissistic to say. He completely and deliberatley missed my point. He also said in the texts that a tech could pick me up and ended up needing my friend to give me a ride. During the heated discussion he claimed that it was a liability for his techs to pick me up but claimed that was a service they provided in the texts. My friend who took me to my car said he was willing to work with me IF I go over and apologize to him which I didn’t do but did go and talk to him calmly and he started telling at me again and saying things that were unprofessional so I gave up and just paid the $150. Wasn’t worth trying to deal with Theo after that point. He kept hanging around after the argument which was weird and even came up to us saying that I could still get 10% off my next appointment in which my response was “no thank you”. LOL! My car still isn’t fixed but hope he enjoys that $300 and it “serves him accordingly” and lesson learned for me.

These guys are the real deal. Honored all their own advertised assurance. My AC problem was relatively minor and every local shop wanted dramatic dye test, refills and diagnostics asking 3 to over 600 too just look for issues. I'm a mobile tradesman myself so evaluated them by my own standard of care and they exceeded my expectations. Thanks Curtis ( the tech who responded to this call)
