The Wall of Prices
Same wall that hangs behind the counter, painted in 1994 and repainted every time a price changes. Which isn’t often.

Good through Sunday · one per visit · most cars
Wall prices cover most cars and light trucks. If yours is the odd one out, you’ll hear the number before we lift a wrench — never after.
Dealer average vs. the wall
The Penny Meter
Pick a job. The top bar is what folks tell us they were quoted around town. The bottom bar is the wall.
Dealer averages are what customers report being quoted in Austin. Your car may vary — the wall price won’t.
The honest part
Why we’re cheap (and good)
Nobody works on commission.
Techs get paid for good work, not big tickets. Your invoice isn't anyone's bonus, so nobody goes looking for problems you don't have.
Same parts, smaller building.
We buy the same OEM-grade parts the dealership installs. We just don't make you pay for their showroom, their lattes, or their forty-foot sign.
Flat prices keep us honest.
When the price is painted on the wall, we quote the job — not the customer. Same number for everyone, whether you drive a beater or a Benz.
Simple as that.

Letters from the counter
★★★★★
“They sent photos of my worn brake pads before doing anything, with the price up front. First shop I've ever fully trusted.”
★★★★★
“Dealer quoted $2,400. These guys fixed the actual problem for $410 and showed me why. Customer for life.”
★★★★★
“Booked online at 10pm, dropped off at 7:30, had my car back by lunch with a video of the inspection. Wild.”
★★★★★
“As someone who knows nothing about cars, they explained everything without talking down to me. Fair prices, zero pressure.”
★★★★★
“They turned away work another shop said I needed. Told me my transmission was fine. Who does that?”
★★★★★
“EV-certified and it shows. Fixed a charging issue two other shops wouldn't even look at.”
