Mike and his guys there are awesome, honest, and do a great job. I was recommended there by a friend who had repairs to his car worth from $480 to $560 in many other places. Friendly charged him an outstanding $360 for his repair and it was ready the same day. I took my car the first time to get my breaks checked and they told me I was good on breaks and that they would last for a good while more. They did detect another minor problem but they didnt try to persuade me to fixing it right away. I still ended up going the following week for a spark plug change around 10am. I was given and estimate to come back around 1-2pm to pick up my car considering they had to let the engine cool off a bit to work on it. AN HOUR after I left the place Mike calls me to let me know my car was ready. The mechanic didnt give a darn that the engine was hot and worked on it as soon as he had a chance! Thats pretty darn amazing!! I have never had that type of quick service in any other place. RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE!!

Finally! An honest mechanic. Straight shooting, knowledgable and genuinely friendly. Best car care experience in Austin in 25 years.

My Wife's Land Cruiser was overheating in this hot summer weather and she had to pull over near the Domain to let it cool off. We poured some water in it to see how far we get it down the road to our regular car shop to check it out. We did not make it too far as it the engine started overheating again and we pulled it into a gas station on Burnet Rd. As I sat there waiting for it to cool off again so we could attempt to get it to our usual shop further down the road, I noticed the big Friendly Car Care sign and building that shared the same parking lot as the gas station we pulled into. I asked my wife to "Yelp" them and see if we should take it there rather than chance it getting on down the road and making the situation worse. Turns out they had GREAT reviews, so I walked over and asked them if they could take a look at it. They did, estimated what may be the issue could be, told me my options and approximate price to fix. We ended up leaving it with them overnight so it could cool down and they could replace the thermostat and make sure there were no other issues that may have occurred because of the overheating. It turns out we were all good with just the thermostat and it was ready to go the next day. The guys at Friendly were awesome to work with, knowledgeable and nice as can be. The reviews you read here on Yelp about these guys are true and accurate. By chance, I think I have found my new auto care guys here in Austin and I have already recommended many of my friends to take there cars to Friendly as well.

I went to Friendly to finally get my car up to inspection par after three years of delinquency and a check engine light. Gregg and crew gave me a diagnostic test where they not only diagnosed my car issues, but even threw in a couple quick fixes to get my check engine light right. Went back a couple days later to finally get my car inspected, and it passed (YAY). Car runs so much more smoothly and I've saved a ton of gas as a cause of those minor repairs.Thanks so much guys. When I am rich one day I will come back and get those other repairs....

I just stopped in for an inspection and couldn't have been happier with the service. They really are great!

5 stars..that's right! And well deserved! I had taken my suv to two other mechanics (NTB & Car X) before I found Friendly. I spent hundreds of dollars and still not fixed. My check engine soon light was on since 2011 and that meant I could not get my vehicle inspected. Word to wise - go local. Greg really took the time to help me understand the codes, the issues behind the readings, the cost of fixing before ever trying to rectify the problems. Needless to say, my suv is fixed and now legal for the road! They even provided me a ride to and EVEN from work. Great location just off 183 & Burnet too. I have finally found a "hometown" mechanic!!

Friendly Car Care is amazing. Not only did they answer ALL our questions (we had many, we're auto-idiots!), they really gave us the attention we needed to put our minds at ease through a lengthy & possibly expensive repair. They gave us a better rate than two other places we tried first. Since our major repair, we visited again just to get information on a little fix-it, and they are always super helpful. Plus, they answer me on Twitter! Thanks Friendly Car Care, you have customers for life!
