Highly recommended

I had just moved to town when my car broke down. I was unbelievably fortunate to stumble on Excalibur. I really liked working with these guys. They are honest, friendly, do excellent work, and are reasonably priced.

Replaced My Engine

Needed a new engine for my car and they got the whole job done for less than Mazda would even sell me an engine. It has been a few months and it is running great. I had a favorite shop but they only work on German autos. Since I bought my...

Honest auto-work, Fair price, Good People

The gentleman at Excalibur are some really decent human beings who take pride in their work, they only do auto-work that needs to be done, and they won't over-charge you. In fact, they usually come in under-quote!

Both of my experiences...

This Place Is Horrible

They took advantage of me, lied about the estimate and did a sloppy job on their work. I ended up spending more money to take my car somewhere else to get it looked at again by ome mechanics that were not so lazy!!! would not recommend them EVER!!

AVOID EXCALIBUR!!

It's rare that I give an auto repair shop two shots at fixing my car when it does less than stellar work the first time. However, after I penned a less-than-positive review on another site, the owner, Brad, emailed me asking for a second chance to correct situation. When I first took my '94 Mercedes-Benz to Excalibur, I asked them to repair the heater/ac and oil lamp light sensor. Neither of those things were fixed but they managed to charge me $500! As you can imagine, I was not happy! Brad accused a newly hired mechanic for the incompetent service and that MY review prompted his firing. This time, he promised me that HE would personally do a thorough inspection of my car. It had been a few months and by now, my car was dying on me when I would drive it for more than 30 minutes. So I gave Excalibur another chance to redeem itself. Well what did Brad and the guys tell me this time: I SHOULD GET RID OF MY CAR!!!! Saying the repairs would cost more than the car was worth!! When I pressed the mechanic foreman, Anandas, about what specifically was wrong with my car and how much it would cost to restore, he COULD NOT tell me! Instead he showed me cell phone photos he took of the underside of my car; pointing out the rust and saying the gas and brake lines would eventually have to be replaced. (Had he and Brad actually taken a CLOSER LOOK, they would have found that the gas and brake lines had ALREADY been REPLACED.) Of course, this "diagnosis" and "advice" was on the house! Angry that these so-called mechanics wasted my time and money (cab fare), YET AGAIN, I took my car to another, reputable shop. They not only pinpointed the problem (a faulty air mass meter) but fixed it in less than a day. Plus the mechanic gave me a computer generated list of what needed to be repaired and said it would cost $2,500 (parts and labor) to totally restore my car. Brad called me a week later to ask if they resolved my problem to my "satisfaction"! Seriously?! I told him NO and asked for a refund. He tried to persuade me that I got "value" for the job they did, even though he admitted that the job his guy(s) did was "INCOMPLETE"! He refused to give a refund and stood behind his shop's lousy "work". Based on my experience, I don't know how Excalibur managed to get its five star rep. Do yourself a favor: AVOID these con artists!

Thank you soooo much Excalibur!!

So, we were in town from out of state and our a/c decided to go out in the middle of Austin, TX!! My husband and I were told to go to a well known repair shop that, I would rather not mention, who told us that they would have to replace the WHOLE a/c unit AND that it would be $1100 AND that it would take a couple of days to get the parts from the dealer!! Seriously?? We were on vacation and we didn't have a couple of days and traveling with a 6 month old with no a/c was out of the question!! We went to lunch to think about what we were going to do when someone overheard us and recommended Excalibur Auto Repair, and said it wasn't too far up the highway. As soon as we stepped in we were greeted with the very friendly office staff and they took our SUV in immediately! It was a very clean office and I felt safe taking my baby inside to wait while the other shop was a little scary. Come to find out all our SUV needed was a little freon and it was only $78!! Thank you Excalibur for saving our trip and saving us even more money!! We were in and out in one afternoon and the a/c is better than before!! Great Job guys!!

I love Excalibur!

We've been taking our cars to Excalibur for over 20 years and have always had wonderful service. My most notable visit was just after I had taken my car to the dealer to fix something that was under warranty. After I got the car back, the a/c did not work properly. I took it back to the dealer, and since the warranty had just expired, they said it would cost $1100 to fix because the dashboard had to be removed to get to the part. I took it to Excalibur, for a second opinion, they plugged a hose back in & told me it was ready. No charge. It worked perfectly. These are great guys and I love that they will drive the car around to get it to make the weird noise that you need fixed!

Exceptional Service

I recently purchased an older car for my teenage daughter and then after a month stupidly backed into it. I was told it was a total because the cost of repairs was more than the value of the vehicle. I took it to Brad to determine if it was worth repairing. I should have taken it to him before I bought it. He said we were lucky, the car was not safe. It had many problems and was not a car I should have purchased. I trust Brad, James and his crew implicitly. They never take advantage of you, they are honest, fair and you always know they will give you a good deal. They state the facts and let you decide. They take the time to explain everything to you. I am not one who understands cars but after talking with James and Brad I always know they have done right by me. There have been many times where if I had not had my husband to question a shops work I might have been taken for but NEVER has this happened with Excalibur. THEY ARE THE BEST!!

Long time customer

I've taking my vehicles to Excalibur for 20 years and have never had them be anything but honest and professional. My daughter goes to college out of state but I make sure that when she comes home to visit that she has ALL of her repairs and maintenance done by Excalibur. They never do anything more than needed but make you aware of anything that may be needed soon. Thanks for the GREAT service - keep it up!

"Excalibur" Great Repair Shop

Brad and the guys at Excalibur Automotive is the only place I take my cars and truck to have repairs done. They have always been very friendly and knowledgable.
I recently had my AC fixed and it was done within 2 days. Blows extremely Cold. Then I took my sons car in and had his AC fixed. We were in and out the same day as his appt. and his blows extremely Cold also. These guys are quick and good mechanics. I recommend them to anyone for their auto repairs.

Auto Repair at it's best

The guys at Excalibur are the only repair shop you can take your vehicle and rest at ease that they will take care of your car. They offer excellent service and accurate assessment of your problems and costs. I have teen drivers and college students in my house and I can always count on them just calling Brad, James, or Anandas and they are taken care of properly. In fact, while I was deployed overseas I spoke with Excalibur and they told me not to worry, they would take care of my family and if it was serious we could settle up when I return. When people say they "support our troops," Excalibur shows you they mean it!
