About this business

Home of the Groovy MechanicsTM Back in July 1993, two mechanics founded Groovy Automotive with the objective of bringing back the "honest, neighborhood garage". The down to earth atmosphere & musician-mechanics at Groovy Automotive earned it the slogan "Home of the Groovy Mechanics", and this outlook works well with the community spirit in Austin. We have locations all around Austin which provide immediate access from the university, downtown and IH-35. Principals The principals of the corporation are all native Austinites w... read more

I had 200 dollars stolen out of my car during a routine oil change. The money was in a sealed, white, unmarked envelope inside the center console of my car. There is literally NO reason why they should be in my center console - they literally searched just my car for money. When I got to my meeting after the oil change, I quickly realized that it was gone. It took them DAYS of "looking at the cameras" and "investigating" to get back to me. But then the General Manager, Jim, just said that he couldn't give me my money back be... read more

Accelerate fast and keep going – My girlfriend brought her car in for an oil change and now it looks like there is an oil well under our driveway. We have 3 large stains from leaking oil and the crankcase was also overfilled with too much oil. She took it back to complain and they said it must have been leaking from the top of the engine as everything appears tight. They said it should stop in a few days. I would not give these guys the chance to fill a bicycle tire with air !

Great place for honest work – Even though we all know that car maintenance is expensive, whether you go to the dealers or a regular automotive store the difference is in the service. Well Groovy Lube is far above and beyond most places when it comes to customer service. Not only do they check your car for free but they kindly take you to and pick you up from work for FREE. They take great care of their customers and that is what makes me keep coming back time after time again!

Best service in town – I have been to several shops in Texas and around Austin and feel that Groovy is the best in class.

Use to Love them, now can't stand them. They will rip you off! – I have been going to Groovy Lube for years. I loved them. They were always very helpful and trustworthy. Apparently, they are under new management. They are disrespectful, they arrogantly try to play a game of up-selling you on unnecessary services. However, they don't even complete the original service you asked them to do. It's not too much to ask that they check the air on my tires, before they try to upsell me on unnecessary engine cleanings that they know ... read more

Lost another customer – I originally wrote a long review of our bad situation with them, but decided they weren't the negative thoughts, so the sweet and short: We took our many cars there, they decided customer service wasn't part of their business and lost our many cars. We used them and only them, and I just found out they've really done a bad job not only for our oil changes but basic vehicle repairs (belts). I wrote the main office from the website, and no reply. AGAIN no customer service. Will NOT be going back, will N... read more
