I cannot recommend this Garage enough, especially for women; they have always treated me kindly, respectfully, and with uncommon honesty. We never go anywhere else!

Been going to Buddha’s Garage now for 2 years. They’ve helped me with everything. From simple oil changes to headlight replacements to complicated projects costing $2k. If they say they can do it, they can. Communication is great. Josue or Dave will always call after they diagnose the problem and give you a competitive quote right off the bat. The 4.8 stars they currently have is well deserved and I will continue to use them for my automotive needs in the future. Thanks Dave!! (I did not receive any perks for posting this review FYI. They’re just great guys and I appreciate them)Thanks Dave and Josue and all the mechanics who work in the garage with little recognition from the public. Yall rock!

Buddha's Garage got my car in quickly, was straight forward, diagnoses, and fixed. Affordable for their time and efforts! The team was awesome! I will be back!

Was new to town in 2021 and didn't look at other mechanics in town. They claimed to be the best mechanics in town. I visited them several times. They can do a good job but their labor is expensive and they mark up the part prices. If you can buy your own parts and get them installed by someone, do that. You'll save some good amount of money.

I was recommended Buddha’s Garage from multiple women in a ladies group I’m in when I was first searching for a mechanic in this city. As a woman, we’re all warned about going to the wrong mechanic and getting scammed, so it was a fear of mine.I was nervous when I walked into the little office the shop has, but I was greeted by a very kind man and felt like I was in a safe space-shoutout to Josue! Right next to their desk is an LGBTQ ally statement and after reading it I knew I came to the right shop ?Buddha’s Garage has worked on my 12 year old Corolla about 5 times now, great experience every time. I just got a new car and I will continue taking it to Buddha’s for any maintenance needed in the future.

Brought my 2020 Chrysler Pacifica here for routine maintenance and an issue with the auto-stop-start. Very friendly folks. They called me up to review issues found and recommended service, did the work as quoted in the time they said it would take. I'll be back.

First time customer coming to Buddha's Garage and decided to try it out based on the positive reviews. Really appreciated Josue's help getting scheduled and really appreciated the thoroughness the mechanic took on my 2011 Tacoma. Multi-point inspection seemed to be spot on, and I appreciated the honesty on some of the items that I could replace myself, like the engine filter. Highly recommend Buddha's Garage.Services: Steering & suspension repair

When the head gasket blew on my 2012 Honda Accord, I took it into Buddha's garage. Let me tell you -- I have worked with at least 4-5 mechanics in Austin, none of them come even close to the service I received here. Every time I called in with a question, I spoke to Josue, who always had a helpful, can-do attitude. If you are looking for excellent communication, mutual-respect, and transparency -- take your car in to this shop. The owner, I believe his name is David, even spoke to me for 15-20min answering my questions and walking me through all the possibilities of the project -- he had personally looked at my car with the head technician.They give solid, reasonable prices. They won't hit you with insane highballing. Nor will they give questionably low prices suggesting sketchy corner-cutting or rushing. These guys took the time to do it right and communicated with me about it all the way. And they were also, by the way, extremely fast -- they rebuilt the whole top half of my car in 5 days and still took the time to meticulously road test it.Save yourself a headache and take your car to a real old-school, professional mechanic -- they will take care of you here.Thanks for getting me back on the road Buddha's garage!

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing their car serviced! Everyone was very friendly, especially Josue and the owner Dave. The guys fixed my car quickly and were even willing to stay open past hours to address a last minute issue. Their customer service can't be beat!

Dave and the team at Buddha's garage were amazing. They quickly and honestly diagnosed our used truck and identified both critical areas to fix, and also optional areas that we could wait on to repair. Truly professional and honest throughout the entire process!

My radiator was toast so I went to 766 cause it was close to my place and could handle a refill with water before me stopping again.Diagnostic fee was $135. I did need to replace the radiator for an old Honda Civic so it ended up being $1000 total. They did have time to do it and I could pick it up the next day (I was in a hurry to drive out of town that weekend so that was appreciated).Called another shop, Buddha's Garage and they didn't need a diagnostic run, and total would have come out to ~$700 total. However, they were booked for a few days.I'd definitely come back here and pay the premium for time but I'd try Buddha's first if you have time. They were great on the phone and super helpful about what part I needed before I even walked in the door.

I'm thrilled with my Buhda Repair Shop experience! Josue is a wizard who provided great pricing and fixed my car issues. After frustrating visits to other shops, Buhda was refreshing. Warm staff, especially Josue, who's knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He explained things clearly and fixed my car for much less than others. The whole experience was fantastic; they communicated well and showed honesty. Notably,Josue accommodated my budget by reducing the price to fit my range while addressing additional needs. I highly recommend Buhda Repair Shop for honest, affordable, and skillful service. Thank you, Josue, for excellent service!Services: General repairs & maintenance

I really appreciate the friendly and honest mechanics at Buddha's Garage! Josue kept me in the loop with updates about my car, and the parts that needed to be replaced. It's also a great feeling when you compare prices of parts online to the mechanic's quote, and discover your mechanic's estimation is the same. When I arrived to pick up my car just before closing, a different mechanic kindly checked the tire air pressure on our other car and aired them up. This shop seems to be full of kind, reliable, helpful people!Service: Auto battery replacement
