Retail tire service near Lago Vista, TX

David Newman was a longtime family friend so I write this with sadness. In October 2023 I was told by a Chevy dealership that i needed a transmission replacement . The auto strike was in full effect and the time without my car had already passed a month and now a completion date was unknown. At this time I saw Mr Newman and he convinced me to have my car towed to his shop with promises that I could trust him to have my back and count on much quicker repairs than Chevy. I had my car towed that very same day we spoke. As promised he was able to have a transmission installed and my car ready to pick up much quicker than Chevy but the dependability and trust ended there. Soon after I had my car I could tell it was not shifting correctly. I contacted Mr. Newman and he assured me that the car was good since he test drove it himself. I hoped that he was correct and maybe it needed some time operating iwth the new transmission before it was running smooth. This little issue made me uncomfortable enough to ask for a copy of the invoice for my repairs as well as a copy of the warranty for the part and labor so I made my first request with the service advisor and was sent the invoice on the transmission. The invoice reflected the transmission cost for Mr. Newman and when I compared it to the amount my warranty company paid out to him i was taken back at the difference. I fully expected to see a difference since the shop is due a profit but this large of a difference prompted me to call my warranty company who confirmed that they paid that much since he reported a remanufactured transmission was purchased and installed not a used one . I then contacted Mr Newman and requested a copy of my warranty once again and i was given a brochure that advertised a nationwide coverage for 36 month or 36,000 miles whichever came first. Mr. Newman had told me it was 100,000 miles and this made me call the company to confirm. When I did I spoke to an agent who informed me that they did not cover transmissions at all so Mr. Newman lied to me and when i have tried to discuss this with him he ignores me and will not return my calls. He has essentially left me with a used transmission that has questionable performance and absolutely no warranty. Now that I have become a victim to his shady business practices and he has commited insurance fraud to make a quick profit off me I refuse to ever take my car back here and want to warn all other potentional victims . Beware of this business !! He does not genuinely care for his loyal unsuspecting customers like he states. Your money becoming his is the only goal and how he will do that is his only concern.

Finally, I have found a mechanic that does a good job AND that I feel I can trust! Not only do they have the best price I have found in the Austin area for a synthetic oil change, but they went through the list of what my car manufacturer recommended for my service and then let me know what actually should be done and what is just extra money. They gave me a great price and an in depth explanation as to what they did, what I need to watch for, what oil I should use when doing oil changes and most importantly didn't treat me like a dumb blonde (which admittedly when it comes to cars, I am) I will be back and I recommended everyone in the CP/Leander area - especially those with import/European cars to do the same!

Most mechanic shops are run down, sketchy, and you are there because you have to be. Luckily with Vick's it isn't a bad experience. Dane, the owner, is very friendly and will work with you to get you car working. I've been coming here for two years to service my accord; everything from oil changes to "my car won't start" and every time Dane has taken care of me. His prices are fair and I haven't had any issues with the work to date. Given what most experiences are with mechanics, all I can say is I'm thrilled to have found a good, fair, shop around Austin.

It is WORTH every penny. They come out and don't jerk you around. They arrived AND repaired my vehicle within 45 minutes of my call. When you consider the cost of a tow truck, you actually come out ahead, and since they come to where you are, it barely puts a hitch in your day. Tommy was wonderful!

Angel was super nice and helpful. I had one day left before a big move across country, and after calling several shops, this was the only place that had time to give me an oil change and look into a problem with the brakes. I got it all done before noon, and he gave me a discount. I made it to DC without any car trouble! I don't usually write reviews, but this shop saved my butt!

Because of my long,great history with y'all, I am disappointed in my most recent experience. While repairing the wiper motor there was some collateral damage to a door handle and fuel hose. As the car is over 30 years old, I know that these things happen. However, it is not reassuring to see these issues overlooked. I am not really sure how to rate y'all this time. When I pointed these issues out, y'all were extremely quick to fix them. I appreciate your fast and thorough service and hope to have future great experiences.

Driving down N. Lamar one afternooon i happened to stop at the gas station on Lamar and sagebrush to get a drink and refuel. When i tried to restart my car the starter failed and wouldnt turn over to start my engine. i managed to get the car started which turned out to be the last time and just happpened to turn right onto sagebrush. right in front of mr cool shop my car engine failed which i concluded was a battery issue.......The owner of the shop Chuck Dyiess was in the lot and questioned me when he noticed i needed help.He looked my vechile over and concluded and informed me that a new starter was my fix. When i saw te price of $145 for a new starter my heart sank.I couldnt afford the parts living paycheck to paycheck. What a great time for this to happen.......Chuck treated me like he had known me for 20 yrs and informed me that he had a solution.......Chuck rebuilt my starter had me back on thr road inless than 1 hr for les than $45 !!!!! he saved me $100 treated me like family and made me feeel like he was geniunly concerned about my problem and helped me the best he could.i would tell anyone, that at mrcool radiator the customer needs are top priority and the world wouldd be a better place with more people like Chuck around..... Thanks Mrcool!!!

I went to the Firestone on Clock Tower on Sunday, June 29, 2014, to repair a flat tire. After waiting several hours I was informed the tire was not repairable and I would need to purchase a new tire. I was asked to wait while they looked at the other tires and was soon told I needed to purchase two new tires. I was also informed that I had lifetime alignment and after the tires where installed the alignment would be complete. I ended up at the Firestone from approximately 2pm until 5:10 pm but the alignment was not completed. I told the location I had a 6pm appointment and could not be late. You would think 3 hours is adequate time to aligned and replace tires after they informed me I needed two new tires. I was told to come back later and the alignment would be handled. On Wednesday, I had work done at the VW Dealership and was informed the two obviously new tires were installed incorrectly: instead of being placed on the same side (driver side) they should have been placed opposite each other for even wear. The dealership strongly recommended I go back and have the people that sold me and installed the tires do it correctly. When I said it was done at Firestone, the dealer's service technician was shocked that the work was done so poorly. On Thursday, July 3, I called the Firestone on Clock Tower and asked about their availability to fix the problems caused by their work on Sunday. I was warned the work may take 2.5 hours. I agreed to the time and went in at 1:06pm. After waiting 2.5 hours, I was told they could not rotate the new tires from the driver's side to the back because I purchased directional tires. That the location of the tires was put in that location because it was easiest for the technician (he did not have to take off all four tires) and the alignment should have been done on Sunday. I am surprised that a location that has the posted quote on honesty being a key to doing business would give the excuse of doing what is easiest for the technician and not best for the vehicle, tires, or the consumer. I convinced the service manager that perhaps because I purchased the tires based on the recommendation of his store, he should figure out how to get the tires in the best location for the vehicle and for tire wear. After waiting until 4pm, I was informed the key to my wheel lock was stripped. Okay -- lucky for me I keep the spare. Although it does make me wonder what they were doing to my car between 1:06 and 4pm. After the tires were rotated, I was given the, in the service manager's mind, great deal of $20 off the alignment. Funny, because the guy on Sunday told me it was included with the work. I paid the additional $65ish amount. Happy to be free of the misery that is Firestone Clock Tower, only to get into my car with the oily fingerprints on the inside doorhandle, brakehandle, and passenger seat. Wonderful! Just wonderful. When I called to report this additional issue and got the laughing Peggy on the line - she would not listen to my issue. I lost my cool - I think I kept it as long as I could but 4+ hours on Sunday, 4+ hours today, and over $350 later, all I have to show for my "flat tire" is an extreme hassle, two new tires that I truly doubt I need, and dirty car upholstery. I called the corporate office and was transferred by Angie Jones to the front office so that I could file a complaint with Consumer Tire Affairs. I was on hold for over 33 minutes before I gave up and disconnected the call. I guess that is the way Firestone treats customers.

Ever since they fixed my dad's truck in 1992, my family has always gone to Car-X for everything car-related- even to ask their opinion on what model of car to buy! And they always smile and help us out. We really appreciate their professionalism and good prices.

They are great to work with and honest! That’s a big deal in itself. My go to for car maintenance.

They couldn’t even fix my AC and still charged me $500 for freon and then said it would cost $1500 to fix, for crying out loud it’s an old Toyota Camry, what in the world are they thinking, I bought the car for $300 , now I spent an extra $500 and the AC still does not work because they diagnosed it wrong, I don’t recommend going there, they are not honest

If I could give them a negative rating I would have. I received my car back with scratches, nicks and tool marks on several places in my interior besides the oil and grease stains on my floor and interior parts of my vehicle. Also to mention they didn't put everything back together correctly. They were very difficult to work with I had to call them to find out when my part would come in to be told its been here and called to find out the status of my vehicle with no response. I showed up for them to tell me I need to bring it to the dealer to finish the repairs and wanted me to deliver it to the dealer myself. They were very unprofessional throughout this whole process and I will never return to Firestone for any type of repairs or service. They should have stuck to fixing tires only, but Discount tire is still much cheaper and more easy to work with. The Manager Rolando Ramirez should have stepped up and made this right instead of passing these problems back the consumer, Firestone should have better management training for being such a large company or they chose the wrong employee for the job here. I would expect to receive my vehicle back in the same condition and repaired before I would pay and take possession back. They should have done the leg work to make this right.
