Cornerstone Mobile Auto Repair

So I called Nick today to see if he could help me with a programming issue after i replaced the steering column in my truck. He helped me resolve the issue on the phone by simply knowing what to look up and gave me that info. This kind of business practice is a rare trait in mechanics and many other service industries. He basically saved me 120.00 dollars.
Thanks nick for the integrity you showed Me! Keep up the good business practices!!!

Awful experience. Would strongly discourage hiring them. Nicholas came out and did nothing to actually diagnose my problem, such as checking for the source of the power steering leak. He jumped to the conclusion that I needed a new power steering pump. I told him I couldn’t afford to pay for this repair if he wasn’t 100% sure but he assured me this would in the problem. When I had zero power steering 24 hours later, he first ignored me for 48 hours until I told him I’d be leaving a review here. He came out and found one leak and repaired that. He claimed that the new pump must have caused my line to burst. Whatever. He left the car a mess, fluid leaking all over my driveway. Took it to a real mechanic the next day and they found other leaks throughout the power steering line. Bottom line: he was lazy and wrong about what needed to be replaced so I threw away nearly $ 300 and then had to spend another $ 240 to have the correct part replaced. I gave him the opportunity to make it right and he said he’s been a mechanic for 20 years and he already came out to fix a leak he didn’t have to fix. This guy runs a shady business. I hired him because of his high Unilocal ratings and now I hope I’m saving others from making the same mistake.

Wow! I cannot say enough good things! I was in Austin from the Victoria area with my autistic daughter, and my friend who just recovered from breast cancer when my a/​c went out, making it more of a medical issue than inconvenience. They came to my motel, after they were finished for the day, across town, and were incredible!!! They didn’t just fix my car, they made my daughter’s life better! They were such a blessing!!! They were kind and went above and beyond! God Bless Them!!!

My car failed inspection because the parking brake wouldn’t hold. Nicholas came over within an hour of my call and fixed it. He’s so sweet and I’m thrilled to know about him.

I called Cornerstone because our car wouldn’t start. We thought it was the starter or alternator. Because it was stuck in a parking garage, we called them because of their great reviews. After leaving a message we were called right back and informed that the mechanic would give us a call. Well Randy called me promptly and asked me all the symptoms and then gave me advice as to what the problem might be. Well low and behold he was right and the problem was fixed right away with out any cost! I thanked him profusely and he told me he was happy to help without us having to waste the cost of the visit.
I guarantee if a real problem comes up with my car, cornerstone will be my FIRST call! Thank you!

Great service here. And they fix your automobile quick! 5 stars

Very convenient! They come to you!

Nicholas is «my mechanic!» He is extremely capable and talented about all things automotive and what is even better… he is honest! He will explain the whats and whys and then show you both before and after. There will be none other than Nicholas to work on my car. Following is more of my story if you care to read more. I believe Nicholas deserved more of my time in this review. Once upon a time, Mechanics would work hand in hand with their customers regarding the care of their vehicle, much like Doctors work with those that are ill. However, that kind of treatment is now thirty plus years in the past. When was the last time you had a conversation with the actual mechanic; the person inside of your vehicle? Why does the customer need the polo, khaki attired, non-​calloused handed person to «take their order.» I view the automobile repair industry as yet another service that thrives on keeping their customer ignorant. Thrive and take advantage of the ignorance is the standard operating procedure. Truly — when was the last time you priced a gas tank? I did and found the most expensive to be $ 170. I did this because I was purchasing a classic car. Before actually purchasing I needed to get an idea what it would cost to get it to running order. My very long parts list came to just under $ 2k. I took it to the shop and the charge for my top four parts came in at $ 1,500. Remember that $ 170 gas tank I found? For some reason the exact part without the hardware was priced at $ 700! When I challenged this price they said «ok, we will charge you $ 400 and not charge for the hardware.» I understand that there are upcharges to parts and I am perfectly happy to pay for the services to obtain the parts, but more than 4x the cost is truly taking advantage. Enter, Cornerstone Mobile Auto Repair, Nicholas Meador. He is a Renaissance man to the automobile repair world. A young man who runs his business the exact way mechanics did back in the day. He cannot, does not have the ability to use his knowledge for an advantage over his customer. He not only explained every small repair he completed on my car, but he empowered me. I am now extremely knowledgeable about carburetors and how a thermostat is supposed to work in a carburetor. I know all about brake boosters and master cylinders, and let me tell you when I see a braking system I can tell you if it’s drum or disc, which are the shoes, the functionality of rotors and cylinders. With every repair he made he showed me the old and new part and how each performed. We are a one income family with college tuition bills. This car was my gift after years of home schooling our children. We could not afford anything but a project car. Neither my husband nor I had the skill set to bring this project back to an everyday driver. I embarked on this journey in sheer ignorance and if Nicholas hadn’t come into my life I would have had to sell the car and hope that I wouldn’t lose too much money. Cornerstone Mobile Auto Repair, Nicholas Meador, is morally driven to provide a service that is fair, and of high quality.
