Century Automotive

Excellent, friendly, kind, & honest service!!!
And that is an understatement, to say the least.
If you are looking for a great mechanic in ATX, trust me, when I say, your search is over.
Mr. Joe, & Travis know what they are doing, & will not quit.
Am I saying they know everything, I would be lieing, only God knows everything, but I will say this, Mr. Joe & Travis will not quit until they have an honest answer for you.
They take pride in their work, love a challenge, don’t challenge them when it comes to automotive, because you will lose.
Price is reasonable as heck!!!
They will not bleed you, they understand people have other bills to pay.
I have no band-​aids on my car, I have repairs.
Plan to take my younger brother to Mr. Joe & Travis for repairs on his Mini Van in the future.
If you don’t go to them, don’t worry, I will take your spot.

ALWAYS my «go to» mechanics! Can’t wait for the new year and our new project. Can you say bring my 51 Ford back to life?

These guys are AMAZING! I brought my car in after I went and had the oil changed at Groovy Auto and they said that something was wrong with my car but they didn’t know what (??). Joe and Travis looked at it and had it fixed for a great price in under an hour! Highly recommend!!!

Question: How do you retain a lifelong customer?
Answer: You build a relationship with your clients based on trust, commitment and by providing quality service.
Joe and Travis operate a family run business (they are father and son), and they know how to take care of their customers! I came in and spoke with Joe assuming I needed replacement brake pads, and he did an assessment and advised me they still look good. *Trust* Then I told him about another suspension issue I was experiencing and although they were very busy he immediately offered to take for a test run, drove it around the block, and came back with an accurate diagnosis, a ball bearing that needed replacing. They did the replacement and now my car drives great! *Quality Service* The work was completed same day as promised, the initial quote was exactly what I paid and Joe showed me on the computer the cost for the replacement options. *Honesty*
As I was leaving Joe said, «see you the next time!» Because he knows I’m not going anywhere else, ever again.

These guys are the literal best. My husband got a quote from the dealership for fixing his A/​C for over $ 1700 (claimed the compressor had to be replaced) and we went here on a recommendation for a second opinion. Turned out he was low on refrigerant… cost us $ 150 for a few pounds of cold juice. Every experience since then has been similarly awesome and straightforward. They explain everything that needs to be done and why. We won’t go anywhere else for either of our cars as long as we live in Austin. I recommend these guys to everyone I know.

Took my car into Century Automotive. They gave me a quote well below the quote I received from another independent shop, and stuck with it! They also inspected the timing belt at my request, since I had recently purchased the car. I assumed I needed to do it, but was pleasantly surprised when I learned I didn’t need to. They very easily could have told me it required repair, since that is what I expected. It is nice to find a shop that has a high level of integrity. I’ll be back for sure!

Had a funny noise in my car and Travis fit me in, figured it out, added fluids and now it’s fine. Didn’t charge me a thing for his time and the fluids. Seriously! Soon I am going to need something big done and I’m going right back to Century Automotive.

This shop is recommended by my friend. I would like to recommend it to my other friends as well. Excellent place to fix car problems! Joe was really honest, helpful and knowledgeable. The price is fair and the quality of their work is great.

After having been a customer since January 2013, I have paid Century several visits for my automotive repair needs. Their service is very good and personal. They go out of their way. Work around a busy schedule. Will fix just about any make or model.

Honest people doing honest work. Kept me in the loop for every step of the repair and didn’t put any pressure on me to fix some things that could wait.

great service and very thorough. Let me know what needed to be done on my car without putting on the hard sell. I thought the price was very fair. I’ll definitely go back.

Honest and honorable. The guys at Century diagnosed and adjusted an alternator belt they had replaced for me last year, saving me hundreds of dollars the dealership wanted to charge me to replace the wrong belt. Thanks!

If I could give more then 5 stars I would! Joe and Travis are the most honest and knowledgable people I have ever worked with. I have been using them for years and you can be assured that whetever the issue, it will be taken care of.
They really do care about you and your vehicle, they take alot of pride is their work.

These guys are the best mechanics that I have ever had. They are so honest and you never feel cheated. I have taken my car and fiancée’s car her for a variety of fixes (sunroof issues, radiator drain, clogged drain, etc.). One time, while they were fixing another issue they noticed a oil leak that they would quickly be able to get to and would charge no additional labor costs to fix it. I didn’t feel strong armed into the additional repair, and the price they gave me was what I felt was really reasonable and would save me in the long run. They are just genuine and honest guys.

Extremely knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. Travis knew everything there was to know about my 2003 Infiniti g35, solving my check engine light problem and changing my oil in less than an hour. He was AWESOME. Pricing was very competitive too.
I just moved to Austin and was worried about not having a local mechanic that I could trust and rely on. Problem solved. I will only be taking my car to Century Auto as long as I live in this town.

I have a BMW 3 series, and it was having shaking problems. Cylinder five was the one acting up and it was misfiring. The guys at Century Automotive were able to order the part that needed to be replaced and fix it very quickly! They didn’t even charge me to find out what was wrong with it! And they are all super nice! Excellent service, reasonable price! Definitely going back here for my next service :)

Both Joe and Travis are SUPER NICE guys. They are very friendly, trustworthy and knowledgeable. They treat every customer with respect.
I had a pretty bad oil leak in my 1996 Lexus, they did a marvelous job to fix my car at a reasonable price.
SUPER HONEST, TOP QUALITY WORK and EXCELLENT SERVICE. Joe and Travis are the best mechanics that I have ever found in Austin. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them without hesitation.

I have been going to these guys for somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 years. Incidentally my Infiniti G35 has 273,311 miles last check. It has been exclusively maintained by Century and beautifully done so by the way. They provide the best customer service experience of any business I have ever dealt with period (may I remind you they’re in the car repair business). These guys know cars, solve real problems, and love what they do. If that doesn’t sound great then you can go to the guys with the big signs, and big radio ads. I stopped falling for that about 1993.

Honest guys.
Light went out on my bmw, told them I’ll bring the part just install it. Paid the same price they quoted me on phone, no lies, add-​ons, shady business.
A plastic piece broke while putting bumper back on, Travis got the part and said he’ll put it on today.
Would recommend them. Thanks Joe and Travis.

If you have a BMW, take it here and forget the BMW Dealership. What I like about these guys is their honestly and transparency. They are not going to nickle and dime you like other places. I took my 335i here and got the brake pads and rotors for waaaay less (like 50% less) than the BMW dealership.
Keep up the good work guys.
