Tieken Auto Service was a lifesaver!We were on a several week trip, far away from home, and had been experiencing car trouble that was steadily worsening.David was very professional, listened to all of our concerns, and was able to get us in quickly. He and the tech did a lot of research, called several dealerships to collect more info and schematics, and isolated our issue to a couple of botched repairs by a prior shop.Quick turnaround, and a fair price. I would certainly use them for auto repair the next time Im in San Antonio!
In todays world of auto repair, it is very difficult to find trust, honesty, a fair price and reliable craftsmanship that will give you total peace of mind. I highly recommend you go see David Barrera, owner of Tieken Auto Services for ALL of the stated above, you will not regret it. Don Kopper
These guys are helpful and arent afraid to answer questions. They dont give up on problems but also are straightforward if they cant help you. They wont waste your money. Only warning is drop your vehicle while they are open and can get your car behind the fenced and locked gate. The area isnt the greatest and vandalism of your vehicle if left outside the gate is likely. However I have left my car with them to be kept gated overnight many times and no issues. These guys are honest and good at what they do.
I had a bad experience with this auto ace had to take my complaint to court. But i wouldnt recommend this shop but thats my opinion.
Very professional! I feel like Ive found a mechanic I can trust. They worked overtime to get my truck finished.
Traveling through San Antonio from PA my van broke down on Thursday leading into 4th of July weekend. They gave me an accurate diagnosis (cracked flywheel) and were able to pull the transmission and fix it the next day. Most importantly the owner and staff were honest and courteous. I didn’t know what to expect since the surrounding neighborhood is a little “rough” but I was pleasantly surprised. The price was fair for the repair. Thanks so much for getting my family back on the road!
Awesome. Honest. Thorough inspection of to find problems. They have helped me for years
The owner, David is a God fearing caring man. He is never too busy to explain every detail of what is being done to your vehicle. I watched him do that to 3 customers 1 by 1. Great respectable technicians. If you want excellent quality work on your vehicle, I recommend Tienkens hands down!!
I recently had issues with my wheel bearings, and the workers here were all so friendly and amazing. They saved me the stress of my car being out of service for a week, thoroughly explained the issue, and I was able to get my car back and be able to drive my son around safely! They have excellent customer service, and genuinely care. Very rare to find nowadays! My dad has been going to them for years. I never think to leave Google reviews, but they definitely deserve one!!
Words cant express how grateful I am to have finally found a reputable HONEST car repair shop. I have brought in my vehicle for three separate issues and each experience with them has been better than the previous. Ive had the AC compressor replaced, intake manifold replaced and my most recent repair was for a broken cv axle.Each time Ive had issues with my vehicle, I have called around and EACH TIME, Tieken will have lower estimates than any other shops Ive called, sometimes as significant as 30% savings. Every employee there is helpful and I feel as if they genuinely care for their customers best interests. This last experience was with David who was extremely helpful. He took the time to explain their other findings, didnt place any pressure on me to get these other repairs done. In fact, he explained that most of these issues were age related and could wait. He pointed out that I could take my time and when I was ready if I wanted to get one item at a time, then he would suggest priority at that time. I can honestly say this has been the most pleasant experience in dealing with car repairs and because of all the previous positive experiences, they have gained a customer for life.
They tried to tell me I needed a new transmission when it was just my oil pan and rob me at 4,000 screw this place.
The people were great. Their prices are very reasonable. Their parts for your vehicle come in fast, and they were able to fix my truck and have me back on the road in hours.
Very considerate.!
Never a poor experience and when its fixed its fixed!!
These gentlemen are very professional and commit to their job well. I sincerely appreciate their hard work and I know for a fact others should come here when their car isn’t at its best to experience quality service.Thank you guys so much!!! (-: military/veteran friendly
Called for an estimate to install a distributor on 93Chevy 4.3, price quote was very reasonable. Dropped truck off with David. Couple of hours later went to pick it up. Got there was greeted by Jacob behind the counter processed the paper work and I was out of there. Truck ran just like it did when I dropped it off perfect. Very professional, honest, and reasonable shop. Would trust them to work on any of my vehicles.
HONEST AND RELIABLEI was very worried that as a woman I would be taken advantage of going into the automotive shop alone, but that was not my experience at all. I was taken care of by Mr.. Barrera and he was very interested in making sure that I received the best care possible! I am not a rich woman and I appreciated them getting it right the first time. God forbid I have other problem with my car soon, but if I do I now know a shop where I will be taken care of, instead of taken advantage of.
David was great he explainded everything to us. our car acked like there was a ghost in it. horns going off/radio changing channes on its on. thsy figured out the problem and fixed it at a very reasonable price. Thank you guys for all your help. i recommend TIEKEN to anybody who is looking for a honest,fair group of people to help you and your auto.
Awesome service. In here on work. As loaded as there garage was still took me in and quickly got back to me. Appreciate the close attention to detail as well. Not just taking money. Awesome place will make sure to return and recommended. Thank u guys.
Amazing people! Always very nice and helpful. We always take our vehicles to them and they always do a great job! My only complaint is that they are closed Saturday and Sunday.
I normally dont leave reviews, but this place was so awesome I had to. As a female, Im always a little apprehensive worrying about taking my cars to the mechanic in case I get duped. I called Dave at Tieken and they checked out my F-150 for free, I ended up needing a clutch and after checking with family members who are also certified mechanics (out of state), I got the go ahead on pricing, per them, it was cheaper than most places as well as the fact I wasnt charged for the checkout.My truck is back to normal :) I did end up having my husband bring the truck down and the technician was great as well. I will now start bringing all 3 of my cars to Tieken and recommending them to family and friends. Friendly, honest, service. Female/military friendly
Very happy I found this place. They fixed my fuel leak in my Motor Home and went above and beyond with their service without charging me an arm and a leg. I will definitely be bringing my other vehicles here for service in the future.
It could just be my car but it takes a while here..Thats the only thing i dont like..But other then that I trust the work t
We were visiting San Antonio when the AC in our Buick Enclave died on Sunday. Out of town. 103°. Need a repair shop. 😪 The reviews for Tieken Auto were decent. Monday morning I took the car to their shop. First impression. Nice people. Clean shop. Talked to the service writer Dave. He took me back to where we were staying. A few hours later he called with a diagnosis that confirmed what I suspected. The compressor locked up. I authorized the repair. Before the shop closed Dave picked me up and we returned to the shop. Our car was repaired and the AC was blowing cold. The repair is covered by a 2 yrs warranty. So far I am very pleased with the shop, repair, and the staff. The other customers were all in a good mood. Current circumstances lead me to believe this shop is a great place to have your car fixed.
I feel they are reliable and I trust them with the performance and safety of my car. Thanks, guys.
Mr David is a good family friend and always goes out of his way to accommodate us. Hes worked on our 2004 Dodge Dakota and our 2009 Land Rover LR3 and the service is incredible. A quality job, done right the first time, and always friendly. What more can you ask for?
Traveling through San Antonio headed to Florida they took out and replaced our Transmission in 1 day. The Staff is professional, people we met in the waiting room 2 different families have been going to these guys for 25yrs. So I think we got lucky when our Transmission broke down. The cost for our new transmission in our 2004 Silverado seemed on the high side, but with a 3yr. 100,000 mile warranty is good with us.
Very professional and excellent services.
Great place professional
Third time visit, different car. The place would score excellent if the final price was a littles more stationary. The 2005 Mazda Tribute SUV died, a victim of alternator failure. The original quite was supposed to be high to cover any surprises, but it was not high enough. Final price was about 50% higher, but I take most of the blame for adding an oil change and requesting brakes inspection. The brakes inspection was free meaning the car does not yet need brakes, but I thought the cleaning fee of $40 was not quite kosher. So, oil change and brake cleaning added about $80 of the extra $140. So now I have a little better idea how to interpret the estimates in the future. Otherwise, pleasant shop, nice people, decent service, no issues there.
Good service and couresy drive to residence. Courtesy call for total estimated charge. And status check on repair. Highly recommend them.
I have been doing business with Tieken for years. Great people.
These guys found the problem with my truck very quickly, and even when no one else could. The also explained in detail, the problem and how they recommend how to fix it. And the price was very reasonable. They have earned my trust, as well as becoming my go to shop.
Have always been treated with fairness and respect. Accurate diagnosis and fair pricing!
David Barrera runs a great shop. We came in from out of town with a busted ac line. Davids shop was really busy and he quickly recommended us to another shop to get us on our way. Most shops wouldnt do that. A++ guy.
Nice people, OUTRAGEOUS prices!
Had to go back for warranty repair due to defective part. David handled the repair in a timely and professional manner. A professional shop.
Great place I let them work on every one of my cars, been in the same spot for as long as I can remember.
Stopped by to ask some questions about ignition control module, wiring, dwell at coil.. great people. Didnt rush me out the door, stayed and explained some things for me.
Do real good job always taking my vehicle is there to get worked on
Great service and friendly staff. Diagnosed the problem and had it fixed by the afternoon.
I have been using Tieken for many years. They are fair, dont upsell or charge more than needed, and they will give the best recommendations and the service is fast.
Very good service.
Best in San Antonio! Very professional and family owned.
Very good Service, good mechanics, and friendly staff
Wonderful service...the best mechanics in San Antonio area.
Honest, trustworthy and very reliable. Long time customer, wouldnt trust my vehicle to anyone else.
They charged me $65 to put 2 break light bulbs. Ridiculous.
Great Diesel work...bring all your Ford, Duramax and Cummins for all your diesel needs....
Great place to take your car, friendly and reliable
Good mechanics and great service
They were very fair and very conciderate
Awesome folks, went above and beyond, Highly recommend them.
