Jimmy's Top Tech Auto

Sep 27, 2024

Good service but I was charged $130 for coolant and a $60 for a serpentine belt that I didn't request.

$2000 then a few weeks later $1000 to fix the SAME problem. Misdiagnosed it the first time.

My car literally broke down in front of the shop (brakes issue), and they diagnosed and fixed everything the next day. Great service!

Called to check-in and delivered my broken car by 10 AM on a Thursday. They removed my high pressure power steering hose, took it to A/C Rebuilders, had it rebuilt and replaced it. They changed an O2 sensor cleared the computer codes and replaced a parking/bumper sensor, all in less than 36 hours. Surprisingly quick and all good work! Price was more than fair! I found my new auto repair shop!

Great guy, filled my tires for free. Danke

Nov 27, 2023

Great place to get a quick and easy vehicle inspection. Great price. $18. Great job!

Nov 27, 2023

Honest, smart, and friendly. This is definitely my new place. They diagnosed my car problems right away and fixed it so now it’s running great. I almost got ripped off at another place saying my alternator was bad but it was not and they showed me, so I’m very glad I brought it in here and found this place.

I have taken my 24 year old Jetta to Jimmy for over a decade for all kinds of things. I have never been disappointed - solves any problem, gets parts fast (how does he do it?), and always has it ready on time. Plus, if you wait at the shop, Jimmy and Papa Cal are great company. And the old Jetta just keeps humming like a youngster.

Nov 27, 2023

I went to Jimmy’s for about 7 years until I moved out of Austin. The guys are extremely respectful and efficient. If you’re lucky enough Cal will take you to work while your car stays at the shop. I really can’t recommend these guys enough.

Nov 27, 2023

I’ve been coming here for 20 years The service is excellent. Jimmy and his staff are friendly, accommodating and really know what they are doing. Without a doubt the best place you can go too. My 2002 Toyota Van is in top notch shape thanks to Jimmy.

Nov 27, 2023

Jimmy is fair and honest and his prices are reasonable. I have taken all of my cars to him over the years and I’ve never had any problems.

Nov 27, 2023

Jimmy is very knowledgeable in all aspects of car repairs. All repairs were done in a timely manner and I had no issues after my repairs. They have worked on my cars, trucks and SUV for more than 10 years. Kyle dose all of my State Inspections and let's me know if there are any issues or concerns right away. I recommend Jimmy's Top Tech for all your vehicle repairs.

Nov 27, 2023

Jimmy is a good dude and did fairly priced quality work on my Land Cruiser.

Nov 27, 2022

Awesome shop super speedy repair.

Nov 27, 2022

Cal is always great and fast with vehicle inspections. I can't speak to other services as I've only had them do my inspections for the last several years.

First, these are very nice people. Very courteous and I believe well intentioned. Not every shop will allow customers to supply their own parts, which saves money, but this shop does. This is a huge plus. Therefore, I might recommend this shop for minor work. However, my experience with this shop has been subpar. I brought my car in last year for leaking intake manifold gaskets. Turned out the timing cover was leaking too, which was unexpected but not an issue. The problem is after the work was done there was a large grease mark on the fender where the mechanic was leaning over the engine (no big deal, but annoying), there was a faint smell of burning oil (which is to be expected due to the nature of the work, but it never went away and in fact got worse), and a faint tick coming from the engine. I returned to the shop for other maintenance (transmission filter replacement, oil change, state inspection) each time mentioning the oil leak and told each time that it was normal. (Sure, the car is 15 years old, but the engine at the time had about 80k miles on it). The vehicle ends up leaking 1qt of oil between each of the two oil changes since this initial work. One of these oil changes was performed at this shop which probably should have noted the leak. I did tell them the car lost a quart of oil. During my return to the shop for the oil change, I was also told that my car was ready to pick up that afternoon/evening. When I went the next morning the car was still on the lift ,and was told that they were waiting on an oil filter. What???? I took the car to another shop that was closer to my home for the next oil change, and they let me know there was oil leaking from the front crankshaft seal and the oil pan, and that there was a bolt missing on the front of the oil pan (engine mount bracket?) that would have been removed during the timing cover removal. I brought back the car to this shop for correction since it had been less than a year. They were kind enough to replace the front crankshaft seal and noted the engine appears to have developed a rod knock. (I also mentioned the oil pan leak, but was told that was not a priority with the rod knock. I also mentioned the missing bolt, but nothing happened with that either.) I have since spent more time researching and learning more about automotive repair, and I cannot help but have suspicion that something was dropped in the engine during the intake manifold and timing cover repair that caused the ticking sound and has developed into a larger and very costly issue. Yes, the car is old. Yes, there was leaking coolant and oil prior to the initial service. But I had a very thorough inspection of the vehicle performed less than a thousand miles prior to this initial service. The difference in the engine sound prior to and after the service was significantly different and the summation of the other issues with this shop point towards a fair probability that negligence played a role in the deterioration of my vehicle. I wished I did a better job of documenting the state of the car before and after, but you live and learn and hopefully this review helps others make a well-informed decision.

These guys took care of what I can in for and also let me know what else to be aware of on my 4runner. price was fair and I'm back with my other car today.

Nov 27, 2022

Took my truck in to get a battery replaced. The owner was super friendly and helpful. They got my truck fixed quickly and at a fair price. Highly recommend using for your auto services in Austin, TX.
