Manchaca Service Center

If you want a good and honest mechanic, this is the shop you go to. Terry and Barry take great care of their customers, they communicate well and finish the work promptly. This is the only shop I trust with my vehicle.

I recently brought my truck to Manchaca Service Center after a frustrating experience at a larger GM dealership, and I couldn’t be happier with the service here. This place feels like a true local gem. They answer the phone every time, and you get the sense right away that they genuinely care about their customers. Unlike corporate repair centers that often push unnecessary recommendations, Manchaca Service Center reviewed the list of “suggested” repairs from my previous shop and let me know which ones were actually needed. They did the work quickly—had everything done in just 1–2 days—and their prices are much more reasonable. They replaced all the spark plugs and ignition switches that the dealership recommended, and they still came in $400 under the dealership’s quote. If you’re looking for honest, affordable, and reliable service, I highly recommend Manchaca Service Center. I’ll be coming here from now on!

Replaced rear airbags that failed after 3 years and less than 30,000. Used a cheap aftermarket company that no longer exists.

A bit pricey as far as labor but very professional. I just didn't like that I had to bring my car back the next day because it was making a noise. Then I notice metal shavings left behind on the floor board of the car.

I recently used their services for moving and transporting vehicle (via Uhaul 10x10 and a flatbed car carrier) from TX to CA. Terry and team gave EXCEPTIONAL service! Terry made everything so easy. He hooked us up and thoroughly went through ALL the steps for hitching and securing the trailer to the moving truck and securing the vehicle on the trailer. I highly recommend utilizing their services! Moving is so stressful and Terry put my worries to rest by being so helpful and providing excellent service. He went above and beyond. Definitely 5 star service!

I've used this service for A/C replacement, front stabilizer bar/end links replacement, and rigid collars installation. They make it real easy, you just tell them what you need done, and they will give an estimate. Based on my experience using their services, they get the job done fairly quick.

My car isn't new, but it's new to me so it was of the utmost importance that I make sure it's as safe as possible. I don't live close by so it's a big statement when they do my repairs. I can't say enough good things about how they do business here.

The older gentleman was very nice and professional. I was renting a moving truck from here. He also suggested to rent the truck by the mile not the day which is was cheaper for me... The people here seemed very honest and knew their stuff.

This auto repair shop is the absolute best! They are honest, professional and reliable. We have had our car here several times to be repaired and they are honest and reliable in telling us what's wrong and fixing the problem quickly even when they're busy. And they are very reasonable. I won't take my car anywhere else to be worked on. Highly recommend them!

I never set foot in the business and never met anyone in person. My daughter's car broke down at work in Manchaca. We had to leave it at her place of employment. Of course, it was the weekend and we live in Round Rock. I researched places around the Manchaca area and I called these folks on Monday morning. The car had to be towed and they recommended a tow service, which for a wrecker service, was quite reasonable. Terry called me later in the day and told me what was wrong with the car. He ordered the part and had the car finished the following afternoon and the price was lower than originally estimated. I paid by phone and my daughter went by and picked her car up after hours. They were fast, friendly, and affordable. I would recommend them to anyone in the area whether they are in a bind or not.

Awesome Christian people. Love the atmosphere and the service. I only want to come here to get my car checked out.

Barry blew my wife and I away with amazing customer service! First long distance PCS move towing behind a Uhaul - he helped load my pickup on the auto transport and explained everything along the way. Even made a special accommodation for my rental that really helped us out. Couldn't recommend this place more highly. Truly appreciate the help. Thanks Barry!

Excellent service , honest

I love this place. Other reviewers have noted that there is an air of Christian evangelism. (One even took personally his being handed a Bible passage on a card. My card had one too and I sure didn't take it personally!) I do, personally, love having mechanics who are more devoted to Jesus than money, and who I can trust to do the right thing by me. Terry and Barry (Terry's main mechanic I think) are always friendly, straightforward, helpful, competent and honest. So happy I found manchaca service center!

I’ve used Terry for years and absolutely recommend his and Barry’s service. They’ve helped me out of several situations; have had my truck towed for me among many other things. He’s right down the road from us, opens early, always takes my call / text and responds in a timely manner. There are so many con-artists, crooks and thieves in this business so Terry has been a blessing; someone with whom I communicate easily and fully trust. If you need some automotive love, don’t go any further - let’s support our local South Austin businesses. Heath C

We have used this business for a number of years now for our three cars. Terry and his staff are always fair with their pricing and timely with their service. an honest place to get your car worked on.

I had initially just left 1 star and left it at that. I decided that I didn’t need to go in detail about my experience since so little happened. After thinking about it, I’ve decided to at least share my experience at Manchaca Service Center. I had initially called in and told the owner what was wrong and what I was looking for. It was just going to be a brake fluid flush and possibly just do a normal inspection. I did not get a chance to speak at all and he went ahead and discredited my opinion on what my car needed. I brushed it off since this was a place referred to me by someone else. Fast forward to when I come in. He did allow me to show up a little bit before normal times of business since I didn’t have time to come during normal business hours. I thought this was also nice and was becoming confident in my decision to come here. Around 2 hours after, I get a call about what they found. Supposedly they ran my car for any codes and decided instead of a brake flush, I needed $1300 in replacement parts and when I asked for reasoning, they just told me that’s what they found. I asked if they could just do the brake flush and they told me no and to just come pick up my car. When I got there, the owner didn’t speak or look at me at all, just tossed my keys at my on the table and stayed silent. I left and immediately went to a dealership and paid half the price this “service center” was quoting me at and they were completely wrong about the problem. When they found out I gave a negative review, the owner called me directly and told me to take it down. Would never recommend, but if you do go, I do hope your experience is better than mine was.
