My wife only takes her car here. He's very knowledgeable and has fair pricing. It turns out her family (who owns their own shop in bandera) were close with Erik years ago! Small world! The first time we went to him, was to have our AC repaired. It works like new now and we've had 0 problems since then! Today we took it to him to have both front ball joints replaced, tires rotated, wipers replaced, and state inspection done. I was so surprised to hear it was under $1000. Most women don't like to go to the mechanic alone, but my wife has felt super comfortable, and not taken advantage of at all. This guy is amazing! We absolutely recommend him!

I was dashing delivered some parts to Eriks . Didn't get a signature page from dash. So I contacted dash & explained situation. Dash contacted store was told by an employee that parts weren't delivered. I went back to store guy whom I gave parts too had left. Another guy there claimed they didn't receive parts. That he was signing at his own risk.. I told him I left parts with guy he claimed had already left. They were trying to con me out of parts. They're pay to deliver was $6 Honest shop I say not. Cost would have come out of my pay.. WATCH OUT!! WHO KNOWS WHAT THEYRE CAPABLE OF. This is guys signature as he refused

Erik definitely looks out for his customers. My car needed a transmission. He saved me time and money. Tow guy he referred didn't charge me excessively and it was a long distance from where my car was located. Erik made sure and kept me updated every step of the way. My car is running like new again. Thank you Erik!

Needed a battery swap out before work, was able to get it done swiftly and without hesitation. Thankful to have a mechanic around the corner from work who is willing to go above and beyond for their customers.

Erik did an AMAZING job on my Harley Davidson! Kept me up to date, what it needed and what it will need. Prices were less than I expected for the work that was done! Super clean when I got it back and the workmanship was second to none. I highly recommend Erik’s Automotive!!!

I can't even begin to express how thankful I am that I found Erik and his shop. It's hard to find a mechanic who is honest and whom you can trust and I found that in Erik! (especially after relocating from FL and leaving my good mechanic behind). Erik took care of all the needs of my 18 y/o 350Z which was leaking oil from different places in the engine and who even a Nissan dealership was not able to assess properly. Erik educated me and showed me things about my car and its problems which as a female, I truly appreciate. He was kind to me throughout all the car issues and even threw in a couple of other fixes in the mix. He has a life long customer in me now. I will be returning to him for all my car needs. I would recommend him to anyone. Erik, may the Lord God continue to bless you, your family, and your shop!

The staff at Erik's Automotive were professional and friendly. They discussed local events and restaurants while I waited for an oil change. Complimentary car wash was the cherry on top for this business. Definitely would recommend this place to friends and family. Thanks for all you do!

Great service & helped me out with my vehicle inspection with my tesla. I'd be happy to come back if they are tesla certified in the future.

Erik replaced my oil pan with an oil change. Friendly service and great staff. I would definitely take my vehicles there again.

Excellent work and communication - this shop is honest and updates you throughout the repairs so you know exactly what's happening with your vehicle. Being a woman, I always worry about getting ripped off but this shop has never overcharged me in the past 5 years I've been using them. Highly recommend!

Excellent work and excellent customer service. Any time I have to take my car for repairs I am always anxious, however after taking my vehicle to Erik's Automotive I was put at ease. Everyone was kind, before the repairs began all details were provided and I was even taken to my car and shown the issues. The necessary repairs were explained to me in a way I could understand. I was even shuttled back home and picked up when the repairs were completed. I have found my new mechanic!! I am very happy and pleased with the service I have received. Thank you to everyoe at Eriks Automotive for making something stressful, very easy and stress free.

I took my vehicle in for suspension issues. The tech (I believe his name was Tom) did a thorough job diagnosing the problem. I received an estimate for suspension repair as well as other needed repairs. The hourly labor rate ($250) was at least a $100 higher than other comparable auto shop hourly labor rate. Also when I picked up my vehicle the employee at the front desk said when they started the vehicle earlier that day there was blue smoke coming out of the exhaust and that the vehicle was burning oil. Never saw any blue smoke before I took it in and haven't seen any blue smoke since I picked up the vehicle. Maybe it was someone else's vehicle and not mine.

I was referred over to Erik’s shop, I read the reviews and didn’t think twice of going elsewhere. Mark and Erik were great, they called me the same day with a diagnoses and estimate. I had my vehicle back and running better than ever in just a couple of days. Erik even called me a few days later to check up on my vehicle, now that’s outstanding service right there. Thank you Guys! Y’all Rock 🤘🏼

I've been a loyal customer of Erik's Automotive 2012. Erik runs an honest shop with fair prices. Would not go anywhere else.

Met Erik years ago when I needed help with the convertable top mechanism on my 2007 Nissan 350z. And a year ago he replaced my entire AC system and it is working perfectly. Great people that care about getting it right. Really glad to have found Erik’s Automotive. My Z is 16 years old now and running great! Thanks Erik

My mother-in-law, husband and myself have been taking our vehicles to Erik's for several years. They always do an amazing job! They are great at communicating what they are doing and Erik will even send us pictures to help keep us updated with progress. All repairs have also been completed in a timely manner. They treat us like family and will work to help keep the cost down. They are the best choice for all of your automotive needs!

Replaced my motor at another shop and went to Erik’s to fix everything they did wrong and to come back almost a year later to have him replace my open door actuator and with the timing the service and the quality. Can’t beat his prices. My truck has 200,000+ miles and is running beautifully. I will always give him a five star rating, don’t know what we would do without them. Dropped my truck off in the morning and it was ready same day. My family has gone to him for years and we will continue to do so. If you’re considering his shop don’t even think twice. Erik’s Automotive is the way to go.

The best service I have received. Was very well greeted and was very taken care of. Highly recommend coming here.

Erik is a very reliable and honest mechanic. Super fast service and reasonably priced. He’s the one I trust to work on all my vehicles.

Erik took great care of us. We were in town from Wichita, KS with an air conditioner that broke with 100+ degree temps. He got us fixed up for a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

I had the misfortune of my Nissan breaking down, and I'm thankful Erik's place popped up on Google. He was fair in his pricing and transparent about the problems with my car. He kept me informed through the whole process (even sending pictures). He even went so far as to speak with me on potential options that were available to me regarding my car. It felt like talking to that friend/family member who knows all about cars. I greatly appreciated his respect and knowledge throughout the whole process. I definitely plan to continue using his services as long as I'm in the San Antonio area.

I've been taking my car to Erik's for a few years now. So many shops will try to upsell or overcharge women, but Erik treats my car like it belongs to his own family members. He only suggests what my car actually needs to have done. I mentioned going on a road trip when he was doing an oil change, and he even checked the spare tire to make sure it was good in the event I need it. He's an honest, hard-working mechanic and that's why he's the only one I'll take my car to.

In a large city like San Antonio, there are dozens of auto repair shops to choose from, but I urge you to look no further than Erik's Automotive. I moved to SATX in 2022 and needed a mechanic to do some work on my Ford Raptor. After a short conversation with Erik, it was an easy decision to trust him with my repairs. He is very communicative, priced fairly, and this is the only auto shop I've been to where I don't feel as though I'm being mislead or taken advantage of. I've had my truck worked on multiple times by Erik, and every time he goes above and beyond. As long as I'm in the area, I'll be a forever customer.

Stopped in during a roadtrip and Erik was able to fit me in for a quick replacement of a cable. He was kind and professional and priced well. Highly recommend!

Super reliable and first class service which isn’t the easiest to find in the area! Provided updates with photos during the whole process, constantly communicated throughout the repair process to make sure we were on the same page. Straight up and genuine on my first time experience. Did some big repairs to my vehicle and noticed later on that Erik hooked it up with a little clean up of the car. I’m new to this area and would recommend to anyone else looking for a mechanic that this shop is fair, honest, and provides first class service.

Very quick and polite. Got my inspection done within 15 minutes, washed my car afterwards too

Amazing team and shop! I reached out with an issue via email and in less than an hour, Mark was calling me to see how they could assist! They genere able to get my car in same day for an inspection. I thought it would take all day but about an hour later, got a call with the issue, an estimate, and promise that they would start working on it right away! I was able to have the car fixed and back to me all in the same day! Great work, professional and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Outstanding job on many repairs from memory: Valve cover gasket, relocation of a broken sensor, shocks, door handles and locks, bushings, various bearings, window motor, oil change, recharge AC. 2002 f150 2015 dodge journey All my lazy and big repairs go here. Great turn around time as well. Definitely recommend.

Sorry for the long review but it’s so worth it!! I absolutely love this place. I have never been to a Auto repair shop that has been this friendly, kind, professional, and honest. Mr. Erik and his guys are literally the best. I’ve been here about 5 times and each visit has been pleasant. Mr. Erik not only respects but he values his customers, and treats everyone like family. Mr. Erik goes above and beyond and he is there to help his customers no questions asked. He’s very patient with children as well. I usually have to bring my baby along with me who can be a handful and Mr. Erik is always so kind offering him popsicles and playing with him. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else, they always get the job done. 1000/10 would always recommend!!!!
