Did great work at a decent price, great customer service. They have a quick turn around time and keep you updated on everything that’s going on. We agreed to get both of my clutch actuators replaced but only one ended up being necessary so they didn’t go through with both, saving me money and time in the process. If you need a reliable mechanic you can trust for a fair deal Lopez Auto Repair is the place to go.

I've had some good experiences here, but I recently feel like I got overcharged. Came in for an oil change and had been meaning to change an O2 sensor. I have all the tools myself but had an issue with ramps and figured I'd get them to throw it on for me.
For the downstream sensor you screw it off and unplug it- super simple, should take 5 minutes if there's no issues and maybe 10-15 if it's stuck. Worst case scenario you spray some PB blaster and let it soak for 15-30 minute before you come back to it.
I ended up getting charged $130 just for changing the sensor ( I believe that's their hourly rate)- which I think is outrageous for something that should be easy for a professional to handle in under 15 minutes.
Partly my fault for not asking about prices first, but I had had good experiences in the past where they had been fair so I assumed it would have been similar.
Moral of the story, always get a quote first.

After a very negative experience at another shop in Bastrop, I called Lopez Auto Repair for a second opinion. LAR was highly recommended as 'skilled, honest and reliable' by another well-rated shop in Austin, who said they would be better suited for the potential work my 2013 Tacoma likely would require. After taking the time to hear the story of my truck's mechanical issues and the issues we had at the shop in Bastrop, they told me I was welcome to bring it in for a diagnosis.
They were very candid about what we might be looking at cost-wise for repairs, from best to worst case scenario, which I appreciated. I decided to have them take a look at the truck and towed it to them on a Friday afternoon. They were able to look at it right away and called me back to gently break the bad news to me. Unfortunately my truck's engine would require a complete rebuild (several other mechanics speculated this as well) and they gave me the price range for the work. The diagnosis was complimentary because they were able to do it in less than 30 minutes.
I opted not to move foward with the work because it wasn't a sound investment considering the elaborate repair's cost vs the age/condition of the vehicle, but I would have definitely worked with them if the investment had made sense to proceed with. I will definitely be back in the future when needed, and would recommend Lopez Auto as a trustworthy shop to consider for anyone looking. They were easy to deal with, kind, professional, and no-nonsense.

Got my air conditioner quote on quote “fixed”by them for 1900 usda. The air conditioner ended up not working again a month later. Theres a rule of logic when it comes Mechanics that goes: fast and good= expensive, slow and cheap= good, and fast and cheap= not good. This place breaks that rule: I paid 1900 dollars for them to poorly fix my air conditioner and they did it at a reasonable time rate.

Professional but expensive. I would recommend shopping around before committing to service.

I highly recommend this shop. My SUV broke down during a camping trip to Pedernales Falls State Park. Rosalinda helped me over the phone and I made it fine to the repair shop. Joaquin took care of my car diligently, squeezing it between their other jobs. They really went the extra mile. They are not only professional but honest beyond expectations. I'm really grateful to them.

My AC suddenly went out on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, and I called this place randomly and they were able to get me in immediately and fix the issue within a couple hours. The front desk woman was very knowledgeable to help explain what might be wrong and what steps their mechanics and technicians would take to resolve the problem. She was also very communicative in calling to update me- I will definitely be going back to this place if I need to in the future.

I'm late leaving a review (seems to be a life theme of mine 😹😭). I brought my car in to Lopez Auto when AutoTek referred me when I needed repairs and was unaware that most shops now require an appointment that is usually 7-10 days out. Lopez was pretty busy also and more people were dropping off their vehicles during the time I was there explaining what was going on with my car so it gave me the impression that they had a trusted reputation.
When everything was all said and done, honestly, Lopez Auto will be my shop of choice. They were honest, didn't try to repair anything that wasn't broken, didn't try to upsell me, they were beyond reasonable, kind, helpful, and friendly. Not just all of that really, really important stuff, but they're also a local mom and pop shop! I highly recommend them!

I recommend this auto shop to everyone! The folks here are so conscientious, fair, and will go the extra mile to try to get your car fixed right. We've brought both our cars here over the years & wouldn't go anywhere else. Very grateful for this business!

They're great and, usually affordable – if they're willing to do the work for you.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. This is a great, honest shop. No frills, no lies, no upselling. I'll never take my car anywhere else.

My dumbass ran over a curb, so I brought here to get the car checked. They have done it so nicely. The front desk lady is super nice. Will visit again in the future when I get into any car problems!
