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.

Fast & friendly service. Did a great job replacing my truck door handle.

We were so happy we called Will. He did an excellent job, was very kind, was very thorough, great at communicating, had a ton of knowledge and we could tell he really wanted to help us and do the best job for us. He has the best prices and the best service. We will always be calling Will for any vehicle needs, you won’t regret using his services.

Did a great job at a great rate on my rear brakes and rotors. Will’s a good dude

Will helped me out of a bind when my truck broke down! He is a very hard and knowledgeable worker. He offered the best price in town and met me after hours. Could not recommend enough.

Very fast to get to me. Was able to identify the problem with my window and called different vendors for me. He let me know the prices they quoted and told me that I can order the part in cheaper online, which is always appreciated. Great rate, worked efficiently. He came back when the part arrived and got it installed in no time! So happy to have a working window again. Friendly and let's you know everything that's going on. If I have any other issues I know who to call!

Great mechanic, very nice guy! As a lady I'm always afraid to contact a mechanic and be taken advantage of. He did not. Diagnosis my vehicle and took care of it asap! Would recommend and will use services in the future.

Professional but easy going. Reasonably priced. He was out within 30 minutes of calling and had everything fixed super quick.  I'm used to mechanics talking down to me (I'm female) but he didn't. He was professional, easy going, treated me with respect, and acknowledged my own car knowledge (which is limited to only survival level).

I had took it upon myself to replace my brakes. I successfully changed out my front ones but ran into some trouble with replacing the rear brakes with pushing back the caliper. I called Mike, and I’m glad I did because he is awesome. He came when he said he would, and replaced both sets of rear brakes in 30 mins. Very reliable, very efficient, and very professional. 12/10 would recommend

Michael took care of me pretty quick. he was very patient with me coming home from work and getting stuck in traffic so I can give him the keys as well. I managed to diagnose the car (mostly) myself and deducted I needed a new starter. After informing him, he said the 140 diagnostic fee had to be paid, but he'd reduce it from the total after the repairs. He shot me a fair quote to replacement of the starter and got it done in quick!

Mike was awesome. He took care of our car repair quickly and efficiently. Since it didn't take him long to fix it, he didn't charge us anything. We will be going to him for all our future auto repair work. Highly recommend !!

Scott is the man. Came to my house and replaced my rotors and brake pads in a timely manner and at a very fair rate. Also shared some mechanic wisdom just cuz he’s cool. Will be reaching out to him again if anything comes up in the future.

I couldn't get my Chevy Silverado 1500HD to start. Scott showed up less then an hour after I called and got it running again! Thank you Scott I will definitely be recommending you in the future

Scott was awesome! He was on time, helped me to find the best price for the alternator I needed, and worked hard to help me get up and running again! He was kind and authentic and knows his stuff. I'll definitely be going back to him again.

We called Scott on a Saturday night when my daughter’s car broke down on west campus. He came out and replaced the alternator and got her going again. He was polite, professional, and very reasonable. We definitely recommend.
