Had trouble finding someone when I first walked in, but thats because Michael was hard at work with another customer. (Just look for the Austin DiY t shirt)Michael was so friendly and got me into a spot, seamlessly transitioning between myself and the other client. We got my car up on the lift and I was able to get to work. What a great experience.

I cannot recommend this company enough.Before coming to Austin DIY, I had my cars AC checked out at another shop. The shop told me that it was going to cost me roughly 1,200 dollars for the repair; ~300 dollars for the part, ~700 for the labor, and ~200 for the Freon.I thought that seemed to be a little high so I took my car back and did some research. I ended up buying the part online for 70 dollars (less than 1/4 the other place quoted me). I then remembered Austin DIY and called them to see if they would like to do the work. They quoted me 400 dollars to install the part for me and that included evacuating and adding Freon to the AC system.So, $470 or $1,200, easy choice.The staff were friendly and professional.The only thing I would say about this place is that its a classic mechanics shop. Its a little dirty and you wont have salesmen in a polo shirt and slacks meeting you at the front. To me this is kind of a bonus as I would rather talk to the mechanic anyway instead of dealing with a salesman.Anyway, I would absolutely recommend (and have more than once) this shop to a friend or family.

Had Groupon for oil change. Owner was very helpful and efficient. Was hard to reach via phone, but eventually got through. So is only diy in Austin. Can rent lift bays and tools are part of the package. Great if you need a place to work on your car.

Needed more power to break my caliper bolts loose, used their air tools to get the job done. Will definitely be back!

None like it anywhere. My son runs his own shop in Washington state but thats too far for family to go for his excellent skills. He flies in and works on car issues for the family. Great tools, great lifts, anything else my son needs and very affordable. Thank you Mark and team at DIY of Austin.

If you like to work on your vehicle or want to learn, this is the place to go to. Relaxed atmosphere, good rates and great folks.Highly recommend!

I have what I would call a freshman level of skill at Auto repair. When my truck needed a new alternator installed, I found it as a personal challenge to install this, but I dont have access to a garage and felt I needed help. Austin DIY to the rescue. Mark was extremely helpful in getting through the parts where I got stuck, and was gracious in helping me out. Thank you Austin DIY Garage.

Awesome folks work at Austin DIY Shop; friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. What an amazing experience. Even got some great travel tips! I definitely recommend Austin DIY Shop.

Great rates and all the tools you need for just about anything. If you dont have the time to diy, they offer full mechanic service.

Great place that saves me money on basic maintenance and repairs. The employees have always been super helpful and courteous.I feel a little like a duck out of water because most of my mechanic knowledge comes from YouTube about 30 minutes before I show up at the shop, but they’ve never made me feel like the newb I am.I wish the tool boxes and equipment were a little better organized, but it isn’t a deal breaker.

This shop is great in every way. Good space, good tools, great lifts, really awesome people. Everyone there is helpful, nice and not judgemental if you dont know absolutely everything. If youre handy but need access to a lift, tools or a little expertise, I cant recommend enough.

Love being able to work on and fix any issues with my car by myself, and having access to pretty much all the tools youd need to build a car outta parts

If I could give this place and the people that work here 10 stars I would! They are nice and so helpful and its such a well stocked shop! Being able to do your own car work with a lift and pneumatic tools, out of the sun is priceless! Use them! You wont regret it!

This place has everything you need to get your job done easier. Lifts, jacks, and handy toolbox. This is my go-to DIY shop forever !

I went to this shop to take advantage of the lifts available no where else in town. I self-installed a trailer hitch on our Subaru, and having a lift made it so much easier. The price is extremely reasonable for the service provided, especially with the tools available and the extra pair of hands if necessary for minor issues. Ill be back next time I need to do any small work on our vehicles that is in the realm of things I can handle on my own.

Great place to work on your car, or get other quality mechanics to help you. The guys that run the place are really nice and helpful.

The only do-it-yourself shop in Texas. You can rent a lift or they will repair it for you. They’ve got all the latest Snap-on scan tools and expert mechanics that can diagnose your vehicle in minutes. They can even fix your camper, bus, or limousine! There’s about 8 mechanics that work there and each of them seem to be factory trained by different auto manufacturers. There’s a reason that all of their reviews are so good, because they are truly the best all around shop in Austin.

I did install my hitch in an hour. It makes the job on SUV so much easier when you have all the tools and lift. And when you need help, you have always someone to ask. And all of that only for $30. I will definitely come back!

Awesome Shop! Fantastic Stuff. Shot out to Scooty&Mike. If you are thinking about doing something by yourself but is afraid of somethingwouldgo wrong. Just go do it at this shop! Helpful advise from the Stuff, good tool collection, and if you run into any problem, mechanics here gets you covered!

100% Professional service. Will only make your spend money if needed, Good people

Most amazing experience I’ve had working on my car. The lifts are extremely convenient and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend coming here to work on your vehicle.

This was a great place to repair my truck! Its a great asset to the community.

Helpful staff, complete set of loaner tools and hydraulic lifts for 30 bucks an hour. Biggest hurdle to DIY auto repairs is the equipment and these guys have that covered. Plus they have staff in the bays to help with technical issues. Highly recommended.

I cannot say enough positive things about the DIY Shop, I pulled up and someone helped me get my car on the lift right away. Throughout my install I had a couple questions and Mark was extremely helpful in giving me tips to handle each task. The value is excellent, and the people were very nice and helpful. I will definitely be returning for my next install needs.

Awesome place if you enjoy working on your car and not squirming around on your back. Definitely coming back in the future.

Awesome place to work on cars if you dont have a lift/tools. Staff super friendly and helpful.

Stellar customer service from the phone call to make the appointment to reserve the lift bay until we completed the oil pan replacement. Will definitely be back!

I came in as a nervous nellie ... not super experienced but wanting to do rotors and pads and I cant imagine a better experience. not intimidating just friendly and helpful. thanks so much ill be back.

Fantastic rates on DIY spaces/lifts for working on your own car. Not automobile repair savvy? They also do repairs at very reasonable rates, and you can bring your own parts! I recently had my brother check it out for his car repairs and he was so happy with their affordable rates, saving him hundreds of dollars over conventional repair shops.

Nice experience, very helpful staff. Nice inside area to work, with any tools you may need readily available!Very reasonably priced flat bay for $15/HR. Staff available if you need help.Thanks guys!

Absolutely awesome place to learn how to work on your car !!Excellent service !

This place is awesome. If you work on your car but dont have space or a lift this is the spot. The owner is a nice guy and very knowledgeable. They start you with basic tool and will rent you anything else you need.

An excellent wide-variety of sources to work with

Ive been bringing my transact to mark for about 5 years he always takes exceptional care of my vehicles!! Its hard to find a trustworthy and good mechanic these days mark is one of the best!! highly recommend him and his crew.

This place was amazing. The shop manager was helpful and had a few extra bits we didnt have (100ft/lb+ torque wrench). Using the lifts we were able to knock out replacing wheel hubs in like 20 minutes instead of hours of back aches at home. Every tool you should possibly need plus air tools made it so fast.

Will be coming back here whenever I need to get underneath my car. This place is great! I got quoted $500+ to install new shock and springs, and it only cost me about $200 to do it myself (even less if I had gone quicker.)

Great space with lifts, tools, and super helpful folks

Very good concept and very helpful guys. Greatly appreciated.

A/C system was old and the compressor was leaking. Went ahead and replaced the compressor, condenser, and accumulator. Austin DIY had everything I needed to safely evacuate/recharge the system before/after I replaced the parts. A shop told me it would be $1300. Parts and DIY fees: less than $500.P.S. Terry was awesome!

This place is so great, dont know what I would do without them.

The guys are really helpful and theammenities are great. Really convenient to have a lift👍

Im new in town and Im always sceptical when choosing a new mechanic shop to work on my vehicle. These guys are great. Prices are fair, they are knowledgeable, they dont try to beat extra money out of you. You can use their shop and tools to work on your own projects or repairs. They answer questions without making you feel like you are inconveniencing them. Im glad I was referred to them first and didnt waste my time and money elsewhere.

Great shop and clean. Very friendly and all the tools you need. On a 100 degree day they offer everyone waters and fans to stay cool. Highly recommend for all the diy out there!!

Great place to work on your car if you dont have the tools or a jack

Excellent shop, like having military base access to their DIY shops. Little spendy but has many specialty tools. Great resource

Mark and his staff are very helpful to repair my cars.

This place is great. I saved more then $700 replacing my own struts. They issue you a full tool box and if you need special tools they lend you those too. The guys that work there are helpful and check up on you every so often in case you need help. Definitely coming back here.

Great place to go when you need to work on your vehicle and a floor jack with stands wont cut it.Hourly rates for the lifts are reasonable and can make the job a fraction of what it would cost by taking it to the mechanics. The equipment on site is good for the jobs you need and the staff there know their stuff and can give proper assistance when youve got a problem that shouldnt be happening. Also have some extra parts you may need in the back that you can pay for.10/10 would work on (and probably will) my vehicle here again.

I honestly cant say enough about this place! Im pretty critical of businesses that could care less about their customers, but NOT THIS PLACE! Mark Jones and his guys are truly excellent and professional to work with. And thats a lot to ask for when youre working around most auto mechanics/shops. Mark is always accommodating, even remembers me and my car when I call, I mean, who could ask for more? When you need help with something, theyre right there. Need a specialty tool? Right there. Heck, Mark even shared their PIZZA with me one Saturday and I was hungry and it was PERFECT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Austin DIY and Diesel Specialists!

Youve never done a break job or an oil change until youve done it at a reasonable height while standing! All the tools and equipment that make it easiest for mechanic shops to work on your car is at your fingertips with Austin D.I.Y. Shop. They have professional mechanics to answer questions and in some cases even assist for free. And, if you get stuck and need a mechanic to take over for you during a more difficult repair, their time is metered in 15 minute increments so you dont have to pay for a whole hour when you only needed 15 or 30 mins of assistance. No good repair would be complete without at least one good mid project trip to the auto parts store... Austin D.I.Y. will even go get parts for you if you dont have what you need to complete a repair! Big shop prices can be inflated, wasteful, or downright rip offs. You have no clue what theyre doing back there or if they even did what they said they would! Get the satisfaction and peace of mind that only comes from doing things with your own 2 hands. If youre even mildly mechanically inclined or have the determination to see something through, beat the big shop prices and head over to Austin D.I.Y. Shop today! They offer 3 different types of bays and space is first-come-first-served. So, make sure to call ahead to ensure they will have the type of bay available that you need for your project. Good luck and happy repairs!

Always very helpful in solving problems with vehicles. Excellent.

Heard there were lines on the weekends, but that wasnt true for me.Got there at 9am on Saturday, and had a lift spot and toolbox right away. Terry set up my car on the lift then showed me how to do it. Very helpful crew. Also reasonable rates!

A very honest business with experienced mechanics. There are some situations that require professional attention and work. I send everyone I know to this place. What your problem costs is exactly what you pay for. That’s the way a good business should be

This place is amazing. Whether you work on your own vehicle or you need help, this is the place to go

I love this place. Finally a place to do your own repairs with the comforts of using a lift! I love using the lifts! I was there on a Saturday to change the transmission fluid on the 2008 BMW 328i. I used the lift that you drive on to. They operate the lift for you. I was quoted $375 to do the transmission fluid. I spent $70 for 2 hours and 15 minutes of bay time. LOVE Austin DIY Shop. Ill definitely be coming back here anytime I have to work under my car.

These guys are great. really knowledgeable and helpful. Honest and always give a good price.

Good place. Good price. If you know how to do a few things mechanically yourself you could save a lot of money here.

First time here today. It was amazing how easy it was to do my front and rear transaxle service when the entire car was level and on a lift. Ill be back!

Wonderful establishment and great service from Mark and his crew.

The owner, Mark, is really cool. He will help you troubleshoot if you get stuck on something and he bought pizza one time when it got really late. Place is clean and I had all the tools I needed.

My Honda had to get an oil pan replaced and the Honda dealership in round rock and they screwed me over or my car. The oil drain plug to be exact. They stripped the plug and I had to get the oil pan replaced. The fix was about $1600 so I decided to fix it myself and I came across Austin DIY Shop and was astonished how excellent the business they run is. You get to fix your own car, use the car lifts they have, along with all the tools accessible. If you don’t know how to take something off or are new to cars they will help you. Excellent staff and they are very honest. You will get your money’s worth here. Oh and next door is Perfect 10!

Friendly folks, fair prices, honest service

Got quoted almost $400 to replace parking brake cables on my car. Hubby suggested this place! Went on a Friday AM, no wait, did it myself! $25 + tax for a weekday lift! Mark was a nice, friendly guy, made me feel right at home. I brought my own tools, but they have plenty there to use. I paid $34 for the parts online and got the job done for A LOT less!!! GREAT place, hopefully I wont have to return but if I do, I know where I am going!

Great place! For 25 dollars an hour you can rent a bay either with a lift or without and tools are included with that. I live in an apartment and had no way to work on my car until i found out about DIY Shop. Car gets fixed right, i dont have to pay the dealership or some shady mechanic over inflated prices. Cant go wrong with this place. If you know how to work on cars but have no space to do it or access to a lift, this is the place to go and save yourself a lot of money

Great place to work on your vehicle. Equipped with bays, car lifts, tools, mechanic on site and very organized. The fees to use bays and tools are very reasonable. This my work place to do my vehicle repairs and prevent maintenance.

Great place to work on your car. Lift and tools included for a min hourly rate. Knowledgeable mechanics around with one on staff to offer help for a min consult fee.

This place is truly top notch. They have friendly knowledgeable people who can help you if you get in over your head, the base tool sets have almost anything you could want plus you have the option to get more specialized items if you need, and the shop is kept tidy with plenty of space for you to work. Was able to complete an AC and suspension repair that together was quoted at over $1000 dollars at the shop for $100 and parts. Having a hard time remembering another business that saved me $900 right off the top.

Great experience

Super helpful staff, fair rates, and all the space and proper tools you need to tackle almost anything.

Friendly and helpful staff. Mark is the best!Try it out ...you won’t be sorry and you’ll save money versus dealer prices or Indy shops.

Honest and helpful

I had a great experience working on my car here. The staff places your car on the lift and provides you with your own set of tools and thorough instructions for lift operation.I am also an amateur when it comes to changing brakes but they were more than willing to answer questions and provide advice.I stayed there for six hours because I had many things to replace on my car yet I never felt rushed. They even provided a bottle of water for free. I will definitely return for future car work.

Very helpful staff anything you could possibly need tools and more!!

Just visited with a friend. Seems like a good place.

Its nice to have access to the lifts and tools. I changed the oil in my car and they had everything I needed. I will be doing more work here for sure. The guys are easy going and helpful when needed.

Had to do some suspension work on my truck and Austin DIY had everything I need. I just drove in and was directed to the closest open bay. After paperwork was taken care of I was asked what I need to work on to see if any specialty tools were required. Then came an in depth eplenation on how to use the lift. Dont be afraid to ask questions and gain some perspective from a more experienced set of eyes. It wont cost anything unless you require real hands on interventions. If your not sure how long it will take my suggestion is to start in the morning. Otherwise give em a call and feel them out. And all my Military brothers and sisters, be sure to ask for that sweet sweet discount when your all done.

If you want to do your own work on your own car and have the skills to do so but like what 99% of people do, a lift, this place is for you. Their prices are very reasonable and if you cant do the work yourself, they are able to perform most tasks, if not all, at an hourly rate thats much better than your local dealership. The folks that were in the place of very polite and they keep the shop pretty clean. Ive taken numerous cars here numerous times and always had a good experience.

These guys are great! Everything you need to do repairs on your car. Prices are great and team is very helpful. Ive been going here for 3+ years and every time it gets better!

Good reliable service and you can learn to work on your car. This is a very big open work space but come at the earliest time because thats when the staff is available to help you if you get there first.

This place has everything that you need to get your automotive repairs done, including knowledgeable and friendly staff. Someone is always around keeping she shop clean and organized. This shop makes me feel better as a woman, that I dont have to be taken advantage of by a mechanic who might assume I have no knowledge when it comes to the cost of parts and how many hours of labor a job might require. Save your money. Gain knowledge. Go to DIY Texas.

Always helpful and a great experience everytime!!! Thanks another Mike!!!!

I do all of my own repairs + upgrades, and recently acquired a very low to the ground sports car and found myself really needing a lift. Took the lazy route and tried a few different local shops for a simple axle back exhaust kit install and was quoted between $400-$700! Found the DIY shop and called to make an appointment a couple days ahead to lock down a spot. I knocked it out super easily, and was on my way. Cost me $75 out the door. If you wrench, you need to take advantage of this place.Its a little far north, whatever. Super cheap ($25/hr for lift, full assistance will cost ya more). Waters and tools complimentary. Was empty on a Friday morning, he said they get really busy on the weekends.

Great place to ring your car and work on it, say for example, you love in an apartment complex that...eh hem...frowns upon automotive repairs in the community parking lot, for example. Friendly staff, plenty of the random bigger specialty tools like engine hoist, Jacks, trans Jacks, etc, but for your own piece of mind, bring along your own toolbar with screwdrivers and sockets, only because the stuff they give you MIGHT be missing a few sizes or whatnot but otherwise, great place and much easier than using a scissor jack in your driveway to change a clutch. I did the clutch on my 2012 mazda3 in 1 full day and about 3 hours the next day, my total out of pocket was $360, and I had absolutely no help besides my BF bringing me food and my buddy coming along to sleep in my miata the 2nd day. Will absolutely be coming back within a month or 2 to do some more stuff but yea, highly recommended.

Awesome help. I bit off more than I could chew and they helped me figure out the rest. Very helpful. Had all the tools I needed. Will use this place again.

I brought my BMW here to change my engine, transmission, and differential lubes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They showed me all the tools and explained how to operate the lift. The tools and the lift were all in great condition and a pleasure to use. The atmosphere in the shop was very chill and relaxing. I dont have a technical background and have never changed transmission or differential fluids before. Yet I was able to easily get the job done for much less than what most shops would have charged me. As an added bonus, by doing the work yourself you get a piece of mind that the job was done right and a healthy feeling of accomplishment. Ill be back the next time my car needs maintenance.

The best place to work on your vehicle. Great staff and plenty of tools for any task

This place rocks! Mark is cool and very helpful. Rates are reasonable and they have tools available if you dont. Id give ten stars if I could.

Great shop for DIY work on your car. They provide any tool you might need for the job and help place your car on the lift. I was there for six hours and never felt rushed. They even provided free water and advice when I asked for it (I am an amateur). I will undoubtedly return for future jobs..they even have containers for your fluids, you dont need to bring your own.

My review is long overdue. There are multiple lifts, any tool you need, and very helpful staff. Ive done a completly new shifter, Springs, and shocks. For a fraction on what a shop would charge. Its never too late to learn how to work on your own car. This is the perfect place to do it.

Awesome place great mechanics who can help if you have problems

I just saved $1700+ on my A/C repair, which makes me ecstatic. My friend paid well over $2000 to have his BMWs compressor replaced this summer.Id never done A/C work before so I was a bit worried. Omar put my mind at ease and showed me how to use the equipment. They have every wrench attachment you could imagine and the guys were outstanding.I had plenty of room to work, a clean work bench and top of the line tools. They even ordered the stuff I needed from the parts store and had it waiting for me when I arrived.When I doubted myself, experts were within earshot to reassure me and for a very reasonable rate. They even pulled up the repair manual for me on the computer, so I dont need to buy the $120 book.Ill be back soon with my Peugeot 405 Mi16, as well as my 5 Series.

Excellent - great facility with everything you need and good advice on hand - changed my headlights out - used the lift to remove the grill and front bumper - all tools were provided and it is such a good place to work - will go back for sure - highly recommended!

Great place to do some work; very helpful staff

Awesome place! Ill be back

Mark And the guys are a great group to work with. I run a small service company and they always accommodate my needs even if it work I need done on a weekend. No one else will touch my diesel ram.

Came here to change wheel bearings on my Chevy Trailblazer. What a great experience. The staff is very helpful and walks you through how to use the lift. Tool cart had every tool I needed. I was able to get the job done in 2 hours, it probably would have taken twice that if I had done it in my driveway. The place was clean and well taken care of and even had a pretty clean bathroom. I will be coming back anytime I have work to do on my car!

Welcoming, efficient staff who knows its job. Open on weekend! Owner Mark is a passionate and it shows. Recommend this place 100%!

This is my first review, and I feel I need to appreciate the great work. The DIY shop staff are really friendly and made the repair in cost effective manner. I always wish to bring the vehicle back to you guys....

I spent 5 hours there with my son teaching me how to do some simple repairs on my 2004 Crown Vic. Knowledgeable, highly skilled mechanic/owners were always available for consultation, every tool we needed was available and at $30 an hour (as of the date of this review) the cost of repairing my car when I can became very affordable. Great DIY shop thank you Mark and Marty.

This shop rocks. Ive been coming here for a few years now and domt have a single complaint. New ownership has made it better than before as well.
