The Best Ever Service – I went here last week with an A/C issue. The guys are very cool and honest and will bend over backwards to take care of you. Prices are reasonable and they know what they are doing. Can't say enough about how helpful Kevin is. He is the guy to talk to when you want work done. The techs are awesome and will fix your problems quickly and accurately. I highly recommend this place.

Honest – I just drove by and have my car inspected for free for the AC and my axle problem. Ken is a very honest guy who tells me what the problems are, and the cost to repair them. Although I may not have my car repaired over there because of the high cost (it's an very old car, so...probably make some more sense to buy a used one), I feel his knowledge and expertise toward the car he (or his colleague) inspect and the time taken to inspect the car. Overall, I think if one day my other car has problem, I surely will have th... read more

THERE IS NO BETTER!!! – In the 23 years that I have done business with Carter's the work has ALWAYS been exceptional! Thru the years, I've purchased several used vehicles and this business not only checked it over to make certain it was a good car to purchase, I was given pointers on what needed replacing as far as parts and service. I was able to negotiate the price and drive away in a car that I was happy to have; no buyer's guilt here! Additionally, Carter's works on Imports & domestics and this prevents my husband & I fr... read more

Best Automotive Shop In Austin – I have a older Chevrolet S-10 Blazer I had taken it to several places before Carter's up in Austin. No one could duplicate the problems I was having, so time after time I was being towed in also more often. I had taken some repairs to Jake the owners of Carter's Transmissions along time ago and I was impressed on the quality of the repairs and the prices. When I called Carter's Jake was still there and he remembered me. I explained the problems and then I took the car up to Austin for repairs... read more

This is the place to go! – I have taken all my cars here when needed for the last 10 years. They are always honest with me, and WONT start working on it until they have explained all my options, prices etc. I have been to both locations, but I am closer to the North Store so I am more familiar with that. Great service, convenient, and NOT expensive at all. another major plus in this economy!!!

Such a good find! – I have had the hardest time finding an honest mechanic in this town! The last time I took my car for an oil change at an area car dealership, they came back and told me I needed $1750 worth of work done. I took my car in to Carter's on a friend's recommendation, and turned out that half of it was bogus. I got out under $900 (and that included them changing my timing belt!). My husband and I own an older Accord and a newer CR-V, and they have successfully changed timing belt, engine mounts, brake pads, and... read more

thanks for being so honest and fast – One day my car wouldn't start and I'm a DIYer when it comes to simple auto repairs, because in the past I've found that many mechanics cause more problems than they fix. So I went to Autozone with my battery, cables, and starter. I had them bench test all of these components to make sure everything was working properly. The first Autozone said everything tested good, but suggested I replace my negative battery cable as there was a section with extensive corrosion. So I did and went home ... read more

Carters Transmission & Auto Repair – The service at Carters was great. Found the problem and fixed it right away. I was not nickled and dimed to death. They were very reasonable. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They have my business....

Trustworthy Mechanics! – We've being using Carter's for 7-8 years. They did all the work on our '97 Villager, our '97 Chevy truck and now maintenance on our '06 Toyota. The Villager and the '97 Chevy are still in use thanks to the upkeep by Carter's over the years. Whenever we take a vehicle in they let us know what the problem is in a timely manner along with an estimate of the cost. They let us know what work is necessary now and what can wait. It's nice to have a mechanic you can trust.
