AT Automotive

Yes the place is a mess but wut do you expect? Cesar’s palace?!? They’re mechanics! Bring your Clorox wipes if your afraid of oil and a blind eye if your afraid of piles of car parts (they always have what you need)…they take walk ins and give estimates over the phone… I have been comming here since I moved out of my parents house 10years ago… these guys have always taken care if me. Parts… labor…customer service… it’s all here at a FAIR price. my father works for fleet maintenance for the city… I always check with him. and his buddies to see if prices are fair… they always are… the waiting area isn’t much but they accommodate with a flat screen and a fan for the summer and a heater in the winter… I’ve cried here and rejoiced here. Women: I’ve never met more honest mechanics… I see mechanics here that haven’t changed jobs in as long as I have been comming! Must be a good place to work… based on all of these things: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place…

Hands down the best exhaust work in San Antonio. They have done all my classics, 4x4s and stock vehicles. Never too long of a wait and very reasonable on prices !

First, I’ll agree with the other reviewer in that the shop is a mess. Stuff is everywhere. Even their TVs in the waiting area have cables just hanging with no effort to make it look clean. HOWEVER, I really don’t care. I’m there to get my car fixed, not be impressed with the cleanliness of the shop or waiting area (although a nicer place to sit and wait would be appreciated).
Alex is wonderful. He’s attentive and is always moving to get things done for his customers. For the record, I’ve been there for two different jobs myself and I’ve had my uncle and a friend go for other jobs as well. I say that so you can know I’m not writing this review based on one experience.

I had a quote at a reputable shop close to where I live. This shop is a franchise and is among the cleanest when it comes to the waiting area appearance. But, the initial quote was almost three times what AT Automotive charged me! They use quality parts (in my case, NAPA) and completed the job in a timely manner (I walked to Chris Madrids’ for a burger) and for the right price. The brakes performed better than ever!
Exhaust:
2006 Nissan Titan
After buying my truck used, I noticed that the check engine light would not turn off. I took it to the dealer and sure enough the catalytic converters had failed (there are 4 of them). The dealership wanted almost $ 6,000! Um, NO! So I called around and got some quotes. Finally, this is how I found AT. Alex worked with me and we agreed on a solution that included cats and a new muffler (one of the higher end after market brands). The total was barely more than ¹⁄₁₀^th what the dealer wanted!
Both times AT Automotive exceeded my expectations (price and quality of parts and labor — I didn’t set any expectations for cleanliness).
If you’re prepared for a messy place, then you should have no hesitations taking your car here.

Was recommended to use AT for exhaust work by another shop. Called ahead and spoke with Alex and worked out the details. The job took a couple of hours and the result was awesome! The muffler swap was a success and the sound note was exactly as ordered. The price was fair.
The only thing bad was the overall shop appearance. The store was messy and dirty. Outside had trash and crap laying around. Place needs a good cleaning and organizing.
