Best shop in town. Theyre accurate, fair prices in their estimates, and work quickly. Ive been coming here for 8 years and theres no need to look further.

Brought my outlander in for a window issue. Turned out not to be anything. Lubricated the windows and charged me nothing. Professional company. I will be back for work if needed!!

Came back from a trip and rodents had chewed through some wires in my engine AND the a/c was not working. What a drag! Yost was awesome, though. Service was 10/10. Friendly folks on the phone, saw my car very quickly (within 2 days), emailed a clear and detailed report and estimate, fixed things quickly. I also really appreciate that they keep customers in their lobby to one at a time -- helps me feel safe during COVID. Totally recommend!

I had the transmission light come on in my car and brought it to Yost. They determined that the transmission cooler was leaking and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the part was backordered from Honda with no available date. Due to this, I wound up having to have it transferred to the dealership to get a long-term loaner and did not get it repaired with Yost. However, I give them high marks for honesty and professionalism. They explained the problem clearly, did additional checking to try to find the part, gave me tips on how to approach it with Honda and let my car sit on their lot for over two weeks at no additional charge. And, everyone I dealt with was courteous, responsive and professional. I would definitely go there again.

The most honest and reliable auto repair shop I have ever come across. I like fancy coffees and comfy wait room couches as much as the next guy, but Id rather take the $100s Ive saved at Yost and spend them on other things.My 2006 Mini Cooper rides like new and simply thrives under the care and TLC that Yost has given it over the past 4 years.Jake never pulls any punches and tells me the bare truth. He saves me money every way he can. Hes respectful of my time. He has funky old Prius loaners. His staff is awesome.

Ive been a customer of Yost Automotive for a couple years now. Their team is friendly and welcoming. They do great work, and most important of all, I trust them to give me the straight scoop on what is going on with my car and what I need to have done. I never feel like Im being sold something I dont need. I highly recommend them!

I started to take my car to Yost a few years ago after a family friend in town recommended them to me. Before Yost, I have only had negative experiences with mechanics before. Being a woman, and never being taught about car maintenance, I truly feel these people dont take advantage of the fact that I am a woman. Yesterday was the first time I went into the office during Covid-19, and they take precautions very seriously as well. One customer in the office at a time, mandatory face masks, etc. I have and will continue to spread word of mouth about this place.

Great service from Yost on a used car that I recently bought that had an oil leak. They gave me a detailed assessment after running diagnostics on my car and explained the items that absolutely needed to be fixed, versus those that were nice to haves. They also gave me a detailed explanation of the work involved in the fix that I agreed to - so overall I felt very confident in the price that I paid, which was great for a first-time car buyer like myself! Very professional and helpful - would recommend!

Been going there for years, they are our go-to mechanic. Theyre super responsive, convenient, trustworthy, true professionals.

I wont take my car anywhere but Yost. They are always so kind and knowledgeable, and Jake is always willing to explain everything that needs to be done and why. I recommend Yost to everyone I know who needs any kind of auto service or repairs. 🙂

They did what they said, at a fair price. Everyone should get their vehicle serviced at Yost.

Thank you so much for helping me out! Great customer service! Honest! Friendly! And most importantly, great results on the work! Richard and Jake...you all Rock!

Speedy and efficient replacement of catalytic converter on Prius, disgracefully stolen out from under it.

Some shops perceive a lack of knowledge regarding general automotive knowledge when youre a woman and they never did that. They spoke to me with honesty and respect. They gave me choices and explained everything thoughly. They also have really fair pricing with a quick turn around time. Only place I will be taking my cars from now on.

Very shady about how they pay their employees. They took 95% of my final paycheck without reason or notice. On the stub it states for a “Cash Advance Repayment”. I had not borrowed or owed any money. So here I am left with $180 for 2 weeks of work. I have tried contacting the Yost’s about them keeping the money I worked for, but they are ignoring me.

Very professional, and kind. Honest and reliable. Very knowledgeable. I am definitely going back for future repairs and I would highly recommend.

Theyve always done a good job when they worked on our cars. They are knowledgeable about cars, professional in their manner, and down to earth to talk to. They get the repair done when they say they will. When they recommend a repair, we know its for the good of the car and not for the good of their cash flow. Weve come to trust them to do a good job and theyve never let us down. Weve been going there for many years.

Reasonable cost and easy to deal with! They had Mt car diagnosed and fixed in 2 days!

They are so helpful!

I have been using Yost for about 20 years. I am female and appreciate their honesty, goodwill, and knowledge. They do a good job at a fair price and the job is done right the first time. Detail oriented when explaining required repairs and in terms I understand. I cant say enough good things about this shop and their crew. The entire operation is a well-oiled machine!

They repaired my emergency brake. Was pretty weak, now it works fine. Also gave me a list of other things they found wrong with the car, but werent pushy when I declined to have those done at this time. Overall, a much better experience than Ive had at other places.

They properly saved me lots of money by telling me that the car I was considering purchasing needs a lot of work.

Easy to make appointment, contactless key exchange, knowledgeable staff, fair price

Visited Yost I, to get my brakes repaired and receive a diagnostics evaluation. Very professional and mechanic talked to me about which repairs were most important and which ones could be fixed at a later time. Would visit autoshop again

Fantastic place. Very straightforward.

Needed a timing belt replacement and Yost not only had an unbeatable quote but they also helped fix my AC for free! Called them on Wednesday, they took my car in on Thursday and had it ready by Friday. Everything taken care of in one week when I was expecting to be out of a car for a lot longer. Great customer service and great work as well. Cant recommend these guys enough!

Laziest people ever, and the worst management in Austin....

What an entirely pleasant experience! If you need to get your car or truck checked out, you should go to Yost! They are polite and knowledgeable and helpful. They got my truck running and gave me tips on how to treat my gas, if I anticipated letting my truck sit for a long time. In spite of spending over $1000 to fix my truck, Yost totally made my day. Its so refreshing to be treated with respect!

Ive been bringing my cars here for years. Highly recommend their services!

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE WITH YOST!!! I have zero trust of mechanics in general but Jake and the rest of the crew are on point! Very level headed approach to the repairs I needed and didnt need. Jake also completely stood up for me to my insurance company upon discovering a problem from a 2 year old repair. He was incredibly professional and patient with the situation. I have only good things to say about them!

Ive been going to Yost for a few years now. Theyre always very clear when breaking down quotes, much cheaper than the other shops Ive serviced my car at in the past, their work holds up over time, and theyre fast. Would definitely recommend!

I went to get a multipart check before going on a long drive, and Yost was great. I appreciated how easy and clear it was to follow their no-contact COVID instructions, and I felt safer not having to go inside a lobby. Thank you!

Great first time experience! Was referred by Flamingo Automotive. Jake the manager was super helpful. Everyone was respectful, kind, courteous and knowledgable. The person working the check in said,Ill be right with you I like that, its important to me, something small like that. Very honest about my cars needs. Super excited to find someone I feel comfortable with. Will be returning.

They’ve always been great to me at Yost. Last time I came I needed a new battery in my key fob. I arrived late and they unlocked the door for me, and they stayed late to fix the key fob. They specially ordered parts for me and fixed it correctly after the last auto place just super glued it shut. When I thanked them for fixing it telling them it made me feel safer to have the alarm ready when I walk to my car late at night, they didn’t charge me!! Instead they told me they would want their daughters to be safe, and want me to be safe as well. So kind! I’ll be going to these guys for everything I need in the future just because of the kindness and consideration they’ve given me.

I cant believe that Ive been taking our families cars to Yost Automotive for over 15 years and I havent yet written him a review. I cant say enough great things about the service he has given us over the years unless I wrote a dang short story. Long story short, he runs the best mechanic shop in Austin. They are honest, fair and listen to your needs. Take your car here and you wont be disappointed!

In the past, my vehicle has been a frequent flyer here.Theyve always treated me fairly, patiently explained why something needed to be fixed when I didnt understand, and provided an incredible amount of help when my car sprung a fuel leak in the dead of winter.Dont think I could have kept driving my current car if it hadnt been for their hard work and convenient location.

Ive taken my car here a few times, and Ive always been really happy with the results. Particularly, they were able to beat other shops estimates on 2 repairs (one time for power steering fix, where the other shop wanted to replace the entire pump when it turned out to be just the high pressure line). The repairs have also been much faster than I would have estimated. Would highly recommend, everyone was very friendly and helpful.

BEST MECHANIC I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.I have had my truck in to multiple mechanics over 15 times in the last year and a half and Yost has been the only one that provided quality work and over the top customer service. I have been screwed over by other mechanics that are not so Groovy so many times and Yost has always been able to clean up their messes and make sure that I am back on the road without any issues. Jason has always been exceptional. The first time I went, he drove me back to work in his personal car on his lunch break. He always acts as a trusted adviser and tells me what he believes is best for me. They are the best and only mechanic in Austin I would ever refer anyone to.

This place is amazing! They quoted me a reasonable price to fix my lug nut screws. When I went in the price was even lower than they quoted. Thats rare in a mechanic. I was referred to these guys by a friend and will keep spreading the good word. Thanks guys!

They always do a great job, have been taking my trucks there for over 10 years. The fix the problem, quickly, at a fair price. They dont invent problems and the limit the scope of the work to the issue I brought the truck in for. I have no complaints.

Ive been taking cars to Yost for nearly a decade. The mechanics always speak to me directly and are great about options. Ive never felt theyve done unnecessary work and in fact have had a few dropped on occasion because the only problem was I needed air in my tires. I kept one car about 2 extra years because Yost was so great about long-term fixes.

This shop has really nice staff. The mechanics diagnosed and took care of everything my moms ancient car needed to get it running like a top!Its a great daily driver now. : )

Ive been coming here for several years ever since a friend of mine suggested them to me. Im on my second vehicle now, since solely going to Yost.They are always very friendly and very transparent. I never feel like Im being sold something I dont need. They have even saved me a lot of money going the route of part cleanings and repairs vs needing new parts all together and doing rip-and-replaces.Jason and Jake are a pleasure to deal with.

I cant say enough about how awesome these guys are. They take their time and ensure that every detail of each repair is given the full and due attention that it deserves! Thank you guys so much for all that you do

Great auto shop. Ive had my CRV serviced here for a few things over the years and theyve always had great service and quotes.

Was referred by Muffin muffler for my Chevy equinox for exhaust manifold replacement. I am pleased with the clarity in the way the issue & work to be performed.

Three weeks ago I brought in a car I was thinking of buying for a “buyers check”. This is a $109. 95 inspection in which your mechanic tells you what is wrong with a car so you can use that information in your buying decision. I specifically asked that the car be checked for oil leaks. After the inspection, I was given paperwork that listed any potential problems. Under “oil leaks” Good was checked off as opposed to Bad. So I bought the car only to be surprised a week later when I noticed an oil leak. I called Yost Auto and was told that they neglected to give me Page 2 which said there was an oil leak. WOW. Page 2 would have changed my choice to buy this car. It was not mentioned in ANY way even verbally. Jake didn’t offer to refund me for the “buyers check” in which I was not given an important piece of information about an oil leak. What I was given was the cost to fix this leak $306.77. No discount for their mistake. On top of this, when I took the car to another mechanic I was informed this car also has a cracked serpentine belt which was not found in the “buyers check” that I got at Yost. So you won’t be surprised that after more than a decade of being a loyal Yost customer, I will now be taking my car to Juke Auto. Every family member and friend I have ever sent to Yost will not be returning. Not cool.

What you should know: This place takes appointments but that doesnt mean your car will be looked at during your appointment time. Be prepared to wait.My experience: Last week I took my car in for an oil change and a diagnostic. This took about two hours and I was told that I needed a transmission fluid change which I had to schedule for a later time; I was also told the service takes about an hour and a half. I scheduled the service for this morning at 9am. I dropped my car off at about 9:10am this morning and was told I would receive a call with a final quote for the service (I dont know why I couldnt be given a quote upon dropping it off, I drive a very generic Honda Civic). By 11am, I had received no call, so I called. I was told the service would not be completed until 2pm. I decided to pick-up my car instead of waiting as I have a job and had not requested an entire day off to simply get my transmission fluid changed. When I picked up the car, I was told that they did not know I was waiting in the area, as if to say, the service would have been completed if I had informed them of this fact. However, when the employee went to pick up my keys, I saw there were at least eight other car keys ahead of mine. Needless to say, perhaps their mechanics are skilled, but their customer service is lacking. I would not be so displeased if the employee simply told me the car had to be dropped off or to come by later, these actions would indicate that they value my time.

The guys at Yost were a pleasure to work with. I had a fuel injector go out in my Tacoma. I already had the parts and knew what the issue was but did not have the time to fix my truck. They had no problem replacing my fuel injectors for a fair price and did not try to upsell me on anything. I knew what I wanted done and they did it faster than I was expecting. I will be a repeat customer at Yost.

I do most of my own repairs, but being in a pinch I ran by to ask if they had a special tool needed to tighten the crankshaft bolt on a 3.0 Mitsubishi engine. They were quick in coming out and looking at the pulley, unfortunately they didnt have the part. The mechanic stayed out and gave me suggestions on other ways to hold said pulley. I reviewed 5 stars because in my experience most shops in Austin will tell you leave the car which is ridiculous for someone like me who works out of my truck, these guys were quick and understood that the fix would have taken five min if they had been able to. If I ever had work I could/didnt want to do Id probably choose Yost.

Friendly and HONEST staff. Theyll tell you when nothing is wrong with your vehicle and not charge for the diagnostic, so I 100% trust them to fix it when something is actually broken. Thanks, yall!

Great place to take your Vintage Volkswagen! They can take care of you.

Dont let all the fake reviews on Yelp or the 5 star reviews from hipsters that dont know anything about cars fool you.This place charges over 400 dollars to change out a radiator hose on a Volvo. The Swedish repair down the street quoted just over half of that price, with much better reviews.Dont get caught up in the hype.

Had a flat tire on N Lamar in the pouring rain...rolled and parked in front of Yost. Edward helped me put on my spare free of charge. Nice folks, will take my business here in the future.

I dont do online reviews, but this is a lesson in not knowing your vehicle all that well while attempting to coast obliviously through life. I took in my car for a brake inspection. My change oil light was on too, so they gave me an estimate for that. When I picked up my car, the charge was double the estimate for the oil change because they realized it required synthetic oil, which I neither knew nor made an effort to know about this car that Ive owned for going on 6 years. But Im a little disappointed that they didnt update the estimate before doing the work. On the other hand, my brakes didnt need servicing yet, so I guess I still spent less than expected.

Had a good experience, Came out driving down I35 so fast, I almost went back in time. The wait was worth it & change my pruis transmission fluid. I am not sure his name but he was wearing happy hybrid uniform who is super knowledgeable & honest. Would come again for pruis.

A very great staff, who know and conduct highly skilled diagnosis, care and repair of your auto. They are fair, honest and you can count on them to have your auto running great when they return it to you!

After going here for a number of years and having great interactions with the staff, I took my car in for its 90k servicing a couple weeks ago. To preface this, I took it in a bit earlier than 90k because Im moving to Houston for school and I had recently quit my job, so money was tight.They came back with an estimate that was out of my budget, even though I knew I needed pretty much everything done on the list. We talked about it, and because they knew Id been a loyal customer for a few years they helped me out on the price. Saved me near $200, about what it cost me to move to Houston.I even talked to a buddy of mine who used to work in a vehicle repair shop and he said I got a good deal considering the amount of labor needed and some of the parts.I love this place, Im only sorry I wont be able to use them in the future while Im in Houston.

Surprisingly clean bathrooms, tell it straight mechanics, wifi works well enough for me to do homework the entire time my car was being worked on, discounts for teachers, students, ems, nurses, vets, police, fire fighters (10% off labour), they did the job, and let me bring in my own part.

Spent $600 on a radiator replacement and I feel robbed. My last mobile mechanic said he wouldve done the job for half the price. Im going to start using a mobile mechanic whenever possible. I save hundreds of dollars each time I use a mobile mechanic. I see radiators online for under $100 and I dont see how this job could take more than 2 hours max.

I’m new to Austin and have been having trouble finding a quality fairly priced auto body shop. After my experience here I will only get my oil changed here from now on! Staff were friendly, oil change was quick, and price was fair. Keep doin your thang !

This mechanic team worked on my car and delivered the services for a great price, but they caused quite a few additional issues in the process. They asked me to bring it back to have it looked at again, but they are not open outside of the hours most people work so its too difficult to get back there.I dont understand why service industry businesses cannot shift their schedule to accommodate 9-5 workers. Im afraid I cannot endorse them as my car is in much worse condition now.

My car overheated in the area last Friday and they were the closest shop to me. I spoke with Jason on the way, and informed him that I had an issue in the past with a heater hose. Jason said it could be that or a thermostat. Both very simply and inexpensive fixes. I arrived at Yost and spoke with a pleasant woman at the desk. She took my information and my keys and said they would call me with an estimate. The next day I receive a call from Jason saying they had diagnosed the problem as a leaking heater hose, and that he had to order the part from the dealer. This seemed odd to me, but I didnt have enough information at the time to question him. On Monday, an estimate arrived from Jake, the manager, and for a shocking $655. I immediately called and spoke to Jason to voice my issues with their estimate. He gave me a very hard sell about having to order the entire hose assembly from the dealer rather than just the part that needed to be fixed. They were charging me $173 for the part, plus he said there was 3.32 hrs of labor plus a $75 diagnostic fee (which I was never told about and I couldnt find mention of on their website) and $26 just to refill the radiator fluid. I know enough about vehicles to know when I am being ripped off, so I told Jason I would be towing the car to another shop. He became very defensive and then informed me that I would still have to pay the $75 diagnostic fee. I adamantly refused to pay, first because I was not informed of this mandatory charge nor did I sign anything saying I would pay it, and also because the estimate was so outrageous that I was forced to take my business elsewhere and would not be paying them to diagnose a problem I already told them I had. He repeatedly told me it was company policy and kept saying that I was taking money away from his repair guy that did the diagnosis, but I told him I was not paying and would be sending a tow company to get the vehicle to which he replied, fine. I found out the next morning that the vehicle never arrived at the new shop. I spoke with the tow company and they informed me that they were refused upon arrival, so I called Jason back. He was very rude and cocky, saying he told me they were not going to give my vehicle back unless I paid. I was then passed to Jake, the manager. He was not technically rude, but he just kept arrogantly repeating that the diagnostic fee was company policy and it was posted in the business and refused to release my vehicle until I paid the fee. At this point I was desperate to get my vehicle out and over to the next shop since it had already been 3 1/2 days since it broke down. I infomed Jake that I considered what he was doing as extortion and I would be disputing the charge and filing a report against them. It is now Wednesday, and I was able to get the same repair done for $205, parts and labor. Im sure they would have done the work, but overcharging 3.5 times for a simple repair and then holding a vehicle hostage over a $75 disputed charge is terrible business practice and possibly unlawful. Please do not support this shop.

Highly recommend. Worked with us to discover what our problem was....very fair and honest and fast service. Will continue to make them our auto service shop!

They even washed my car after fixing it!

Bizarre Customer DISserviceOne star for customer service, two because they didnt charge me for the diagnostic, back to one because they lied about it.When I dropped off my car for brake inspection and check engine light, the girl at the counter said I should expect an email about the diagnostic results in the afternoon. About noon, the mechanic called and I had yet to check for the email. He asked if I had seen the email, and I said no. The trouble started in earnest then as he launched into a rapid-fire rundown of the results with no regard to me understanding anything he was saying. He was obviously rather annoyed that I stopped him (only with great difficulty!) to ask a question about what he was talking about. At one point, he asked derisively again if I had reviewed the email. I told him again that I had not. Clearly, he wasnt listening 1 minute earlier when I told him the same thing. So then, this mechanic gets feed up and passes me off to his manager.With the manager, at first I just say to forget the brakes for now, and take care of the check engine light problem. The manager doesnt like this though and starts questioning me about the brakes more. I explain my additional concern about the brakes in addition to the rotors needing fixed, and the manager then goes into a spiel about how what Im saying about the past history of my car doesnt jive with what they were seeing at the moment as if I was crazy and just making stuff up. So again, I tell him to forget the brakes and just take care of the check engine light problem. At this point, he says they arent willing to work on the car and that I should just come pick it up.So, quite bizarre. I cant figure out if they are super busy and stressed out and cant deal with non-mechanic customers or if maybe theyre doing too much of the blue stuff. Who knows?UPDATE: PURE LIESIf you have time to waste on this pathetic drama and have read the response of the owner, you saw that it said you vehemently disagreed with the results. You said our technicians are incompetent and we were wrong in our diagnosis, which is absurd and points more clearly to Yosts poor communication skills and now brazen cover-up lie. The fact is, I totally agree with the diagnosis about the brakes. The brakes are exactly what I brought it in for! In addition to the rotors and pads, though, I had an EXTRA concern that Yost couldnt or didnt bother to address. However, when I took my car to a capable mechanic who could have a normal conversation, I found out that the caliper pin on the drivers side was missing its rubber bushing, and that was causing the caliber to be unstable. So there you go. My problem is solved. Looks like Yosts will be with them for some time. They should reach out to Marshawn Lynch for help with people skills.

Dont take a VolksWagon here. Presuming these guys are better at certain makes and models but clearly ZERO experience with Volkswagons.Starting off with positive feedback... they were communicative with their inability to diagnose my issue. They called every day to let me know they were still working to identify my problem, which I appreciated. Most mechanics are content to leave you in the dark.And for the critical feedback.Took my Golf in due to the positive reviews. Took a week diagnosing my issue while never clearly identifying the real issue, and another 3 days to fix the issue. Charged me $750 to replace a blow off valve, and related components which missed the underlying problem which was correctly diagnosed later as a bad CV joint.How do mechanics not identify a bad CV joint after a week of troubleshooting? The CV boot was clearly deteriorated, so maybe take a peek at the joint? Suffice it to say that was $750 down the drain and a week without a car.

Yost used to be a very dependable and reasonable place for auto repair; when they were on Reinli St. I never took my car anywhere else. Now that their business has expanded Ive seen a decline in customer service and quality of work. They made a mistake repairing my car, wouldnt listen to my complaint and did nothing to rectify the situation. I will never go to Yost again.

After the Toyota dealership offered to fix my Prius for $7700 I googled Prius repair and Yost came up and had good reviews so I brought my car and the estimate over to see what they could do. Jake got back to me the same day with an estimate and had the repairs done in less than 24 hours. I couldnt be happier with the service and the price which was less than 1/2 the dealerships estimate. Ive found a my repair shop.

Ive been going to them for like 5 years, gonna go somewhere else from now on..... At the end of 2017 I had paid them a good chunk of change (over 3k) because I trusted Jake to swap my engine on my 2002 Honda Accord. This is objectively a bad idea, it is a 15 year old car. I was dumb. But I would not have done it without reassurance with a warranty with great service that I expect from an establishment that receives best of austin awards year after year.My biggest gripe with this whole situation is how incredibly rude Jake has been to me. He was combative and defensive when I started asking slightly technical questions about the procedure in person.Jake told me he didnt want my business anymore after writing an angry and impassioned yelp review (youre reading a more sober edit), essentially voiding the warranty I spent my money for in the first place. I called a couple weeks ago to bring up further concerns with the fact that the bolts on my exhaust manifold were broken, very possibly from improper assembly, and that my exhaust manifold gasket had blown. He said because of my yelp review bringing up these concerns I was no longer welcome on the property, and that he would have to talk to the bosses before seeing me again.Jake had somehow gotten the idea that this major procedure was just a stop gap for me, and therefore neglected to do a 100% job. Less than a month into my new engine it was already leaking oil pretty profusely. I brought it back in, they pinpointed the problem, and then said it was outside of the engines warranty. Jake claimed that the part in question, the VTEC Solenoid valve, was removed from my old engine and put on the new one. In the process of removing this part, he also claimed to have swapped a gasket which sits between the part and the engine block. It is concerning to me why an integral engine part would fail suddenly when those parts last around 100,000 miles, and it was replaced less than 40,000 miles prior to this operation by First Texas Honda.When I took it off the VTEC the gasket definitely looked much older than a month. I also was never charged for this gasket.When I asked why a new VTEC wasnt used, Jake came up with a couple excuses why. First that this would have added superfluous costs to a major procedure. This is ridiculous because even if they were to have bought the $250 part that would have been negligible to the overall cost and would have ensured my new engine was running as close to 100% for as long as possible. The second excuse was that they wouldnt have known how long the solenoid was there, because it was working there wasnt a reason to worry. This does not make sense if youre trying to do a good job. Third was that I never asked for it and it was my fault!I had a very hard time hearing this stuff from someone I trusted with my livelihood. I was a delivery driver for almost 7 years, and I have had to quit my job because of the uncertainty with my car. I have not been able to sit down to write this out since because it just really messes with my productivity, but now Ive gotten to a point where I can devote time to rectifying this situation.The funny thing with Jake not taking precautions on the VTEC is that I had replaced my spark plugs only couple weeks prior, and they replaced those. Plus the kicker is that they charged me 116.24 bucks for them, and the exact part number, OEM and everything, sells for less than 50 at Autozone.IDK sketchyPlus he was rude to me for just asking questions.Jake is nice until he is not. He wont be getting my business again. And I hope you wont be fooled by the Austin Chronicle awards as I was.

Hands down, the most honest and best shop in Austin. Bring your estimates and get a 2nd opinion.

Extremely satisfied with fast service and friendly faces!

An honest mechanic! Theyve never tried to up-sell me on anything.

Over the years Ive always experienced great service from the friendly knowledgeable staff at Yost Automotive.

Good service, didnt screw me on price

Timely service on my Toyota camry that was having trouble starting. They were friendly and gave me a ride home when I dropped it off.

Permanent fan. Highly recommended.

Yost has been my mechanic for three years. Very trustworth, and their pricing is fair and transparent.

Friendly, knowledgeable and oh so cool.

So I see a lot of different feelings on these reviews, and I will attempt to shed some light on them.I work on motorcycles for a living, and there are many similarities between our professions. Making an appointment does not necessarily mean your vehicle will be done in that slot, there are a great deal of variables that go into repairs, one of which is the honesty and level of knowledge of the customer making the appointment. If the booking is for something low level and turns out being more serious or specialized, the employee that may be needed to see it may be already engaged.Also, pricing for a mobile mechanic is lower, due to having no store front to work from. In addition, the reason why many people choose someone with a store front that has been around for an extended period of time is because you wish for someone to do it correctly and then be around to help out if things go wrong for whatever reason.Lastly, my personal experience with Peter and Jacob, whether working on my truck, or more recently on my visiting mothers car while I was out of town, whom I needed someone to look at it and shoot me straight about the problem from afar instead of selling (preventative) maintenance for an (active) problem, I trusted Yost automotive to do these jobs and do not regret it.So speaking as an informed individual on the subject, I would recommend this location for your repair and maintenance needs. Sometimes, it is worth the wait.

The current group does not live up to the good reputation. I found them to be inept, charging for services not needed and not taking accountability for obvious mistakes. Very poor customer service. Ill never go back.

$360 for a cracked coolant reservoir and a hose clamp? Thats absurd.

Honest and reliable.

Great reasonable shop

Best Mechanics in Town.

Yost saved us so much money on our repairs. SO RARE!!

Staff are uncaring and impolite.They use scare tactics to draw you in but dont tell you a clear time frame as when you can get your car back.

Simply the best

After calling and receiving confirmation to bring the vehicle over I was told the vehicle was too old and they would not work on it... waist of time and money I had it towed twice. I said the year on the phone. They acted dismissive and annoyed.
