Yesterday I had 4 wheels of tire replacement and I was satisfied with it AT LEAST ON THAT DAY. But just on the next day, when I was driving on the road, a cover of a rim of the replaced tires got dropped away from my car. I even didn't think it was from my car, since I just had a new tire replacement a day before. Anyway, after losing the cover of a wheel rim, I went to groovy to ask about this happening. And the owner said it is not our responsibility to care of the wheel trim condition, even though he detached the covers to replace my tires and attached them again. Excuse me, you were the only one who touched my tires!! Anyway, as a customer, and according to the general clues, certainly I could guess the dropped cover happened due to a careless tire replacement by the engineer, since such ridiculous thing never happened before in my driving experience. But the owner's attitude was very stubborn and keep saying that we are very professional and always doublecheck for their repair so such mistake won't happen ever in his career. How can there be "perfect" repair in this world? They are also human beings who could make a mistake. I was very very disappointed with their attitude and the feedback for such ridiculous issue on my tire. PLEASE BE PROFESSIONAL NOT ONLY FOR YOUR WORK BUT ALSO FOR YOUR "RESPONSIBILITY ".

Groovy Automotive is AMAZING! I am a girl in her early 20s who frankly hates having to deal with anything car related. Before my experience at Groovy, I felt like every place I went to in ATX would try to scam me because I was a young woman. Recently a car side swiped me downtown and busted my headlight while leaving a wicked mark on the front of my car. My dad called a previous automotive shop and received a super overpriced quote for the repairs. In a desperate measure, I took my car to Groovy just to see what they would do. They were super professional, talked to me like a human, answered all of my dad's typical parental car questions over the phone, gave us a super reasonable price for the repairs, and had my car fixed and detailed the same day I took it in. Plus, they gave me a ride so I wouldn't have to pay for an Uber! Jim was so great to work with and made the entire experience enjoyable. I will ALWAYS recommend them to anyone!

My experience with Groovy Automotive with the assistance of Frank Rodriguez was very excellent. I had brought in my 1974 Oldsmobile 98 for some work to done. They had changed out my radiator and radiator hoses upper and lower. Changed out my brake system new brakes rotors and brake calibers. New suspension shocks. They also changed out the spark plugs and did a full tuneup on my vehicle. Changed out the transmission filter. They did a awesome job they are very knowledgeable at what they do and answered every question I had for them. They fixed my vehicle in a timely manner and affordable for me. They worked with me on parts and labor. Frank Rodriguez was very helpful and friendly found all parts for my vehicle. If you have a classic car and looking for work to be done i highly recommend Groovy Automotive to anyone and ask for Frank Rodriguez

I can't give anything other than 5* after trying out Groovy Automotive recently. I own a fleet of cars and one of my cars was at my regular mechanic for some suspension work, and unfortunately my mechanic couldn't complete the work. I called around, and Groovy had a decent price for the work, so I took my car there. The next day I received a call explaining the work was unneeded... I just needed a new tire. My whole car was shaking, and my last mechanic misdiagnosed it. I went across town and got two new front tires and like they said, that was all the car needed. I don't know how much money I sunk into unnecessary repairs on this car and so much time wasted, but Groovy obviously knows what they're doing and I'll be moving a lot of my business to them. Didn't even charge me a diagnosis fee for figuring out the actual problem. Great service!

Groovy is a great choice for people in central Austin looking for a local, honest shop. I had initially gone to Midas on Guadalupe for a check engine light and was quoted $2,100 to replace the oil pump and oil pressure sensor, which I knew seemed too high. I took my Jeep to Groovy and they were able to fix it for just over $1,000 and very kindly offered me a student discount when they realized I had a UT email. Perhaps my only critique is that the repair did take a few days and that they weren't the most communicative shop in the world, but that's because they have a smaller staff and so many people know that this is the place to take your car, so I can't blame them for being too busy. The important point is that my car is fixed and I saved over $1,000 bucks.

Long story short, they are the real deal. An auto shop that provides their own level of hospitality. My wife and I have been bringing our vehicles here for the past two years and everyone at the shop has been so gracious with their time to help us keep our older cars running. They take the time to help us understand what NEEDS to be done and what WILL need to be done. They never try to over sell us when they easily could as both our cars are over 15 years old. They do the right thing even when it doesn't always benefit them right there in the moment. Because of this we will keep coming back. Thank you Groovy!

A chain shop told me I needed a new CV boot and quoted me $1100 for the repair. I called Groovy Automotive who told me they could do it for $600. I brought it into Groovy Automotive and they told me it didn't need a new CV boot at all: the chain shop confused the oil they spilled during their shoddy oil change with grease from the CV boot. Groovy saved me $1100 and I found my new auto shop. Support this local Austin institution. They're honest and nice guys to boot.

I highly recommend Groovy automotive! I stopped by to see if they could fit me in for a quick check of my battery connections. They didn’t have a spot til later in the afternoon but Paul was able to look at it quickly and all it needed was something to be tightened and the problem was taken care of. He took just a few minutes and saved me a lot of time and hassle. I’ll be bringing my car back the next time I have any issues!

Groovy has been my shop now for almost 10 years. After just OK to mediocre experiences at other shops around town, I tried Groovy and haven't went back since. Friendly (easily the most friendly shop I've been to over the years), prompt, and helpful. Everybody at Groovy who's helped me over the years has went out of their way to make me a happy customer, taken the time to answer any questions or explain things, etc.

This shop should be everybody first thing in mind when it comes the need of take care of your car, whenever if is your regular maintenance or any king of repair you need. Paul take a really good care of my 2020 Nissan Sentra, always willing to help, honest and whit all the knowledge that is needed in his business. Do not hesitate to bring your car in

This was an awesome experience they took care of exactly what I needed and were great with their customer service! They were 30 minutes out of the way and happen to be the only shop that could see me next day so I made the trip over to them and am so very happy I did. I will continue making that drive so long as I get that great service!

These guys are great. Paul is super friendly and helpful, We have have a German Audi, but I would never take it to the Audi dealership - Groovy is always there for me, they make things easy, communicate well, and understand the problems proficiently. I’m so glad they are right here in our neighborhood!

I have always had great service here. Jim & the mechanic Moon have always been honest and I have never felt pressured to commit to a service that they weren't willing to explain to me. I have referred many friends and several of my own customers (parts store employee) to y'all because of this.

The best place in Austin!! Good prices and great people. Kevin has saved me and my truck several times over the past couple years. He's fast and always fair on the price. What else could you ask for in a Mechanic? A BIG THANK YOU TO KEVIN AND TOMMY!! THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!!

I took my Prius here after getting a very costly list of repairs from the dealer. Groovy checked and found most were much easier than the dealer said, or weren’t needed at all. They did the work for 1/10 the dealer cost, and they did it the next day. Honest guys here!

This place has great customer service and seemed efficient, but ive brought my car here twice for a check engine light and they say its fixed but then my check engine light comes on again the next day. Its very frustrating and expensive to keep going back

Every time I’ve had an issue with my car, this shop has been transparent, patient, and thorough with explaining my issues and pricing. They’re also communicative with timing on when my car will be finished. Definitely my favorite auto-shop in Austin.

Groovy auto is a fantastic auto shop that I recommend to all my friends and anyone looking for honest, good work on a car. They are not only efficient and fast with car repairs but they always make me feel welcome, explain what's going on,

I have nothing but positive things to say about Groovy Automotive. My band is on tour from New Jersey and our van broke down in Austin this weekend. We called Groovy first thing this morning and they took our van in immediately and had it

My experience with this shop was great. They didn’t try to make me get more work done than I needed. I took my car in for brake pads replacement and they said just the front ones needed to be replaced, rear ones were good. They could’ve

Went into Groovy with a nail in my tire. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly and helpful! They were able to take my car in, fix my tire quickly, and sent me on my way. Excellent customer service and speedy repair. I highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Groovy Automotive the people there. Always up front and honest which is what we all want when it comes to car repair. I've used them for years and can highly recommend the place.

Came in for a tire patch and they were able to get me in and out in under an hour! They even made sure my tire was inflated back to the correct pressure after they patched it. Great service and super friendly staff!

I went to Groovy for a break issue. I spoke mainly with Paul and he is a sweetheart! He was communicative and clear about the issue with my car and the pricing. I will definitely be a return customer.

These folks are awesome.... hardworking, decent, honest. Been caring for my cars since I first moved to Austin! In today getting Trip Ready & getting an oil change. They’ve never failed me!

The most outstanding service. Special attention to customer's needs. Strong sense of urgency. Kevin Black definitely best mechanic and gives thorough explanations of what is going on.

The team at Groovy is the best of the best. Paul was amazing. Was very communicative about the issues with my car and made repairs as cheap as possible. Very happy with my experience.

Best shop ever! Paul is exceptionally friendly and helpful. He goes above and beyond Would recommend this shop to everyone, great vibes, coffee, nice people, great work! …

Courteous, fast, and effective. They were able to take care of my flat tire so there was no impact to my day. I won't think twice to use them next time I have a flat tire!

I, love this place. Honest hard working guys. They repaired my truck, no sales pitch, etc. I, highly recommend Groovy automotive to anyone that ask. For a recommendation.

I’ve always had the best experience here! Friendly staff! A great group of mechanics! Will definitely be coming here more often for my car needs!

I have used Groovy multiple times and always had great service. They told me clearly what was needed, had fair prices, and delivered on time.

Outstanding service. Paul Masters is a great professional, extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend Groovy Automotive.

Jim was honest and straight up with everything on my Escape and helpful all the way through our repair work. Will use Groovy from now on.

Honest and straightforward. They give you an estimate and that’s what you pay! Only place I’ll take my car in Austin Texas

I’m grateful for Paul coming out to my gym and diagnosing my car on the spot. Stand up guy by far. Thanks again Paul

Tom is amazing!! He can fix any car correctly the first time around! Ask for Tom, you won’t be disappointed!!

Super friendly and nice! Helped me with a flat tire, and made me feel at ease. Great team working here

Amazing first time experience! Got my AC fixed with quickly and with great care by Paul, great guy!
