Vick’s Expertune Automotive

Israel stayed after closing to do me a big favor and was so nice about it. Such an honest, hard-​working guy.

Talk about not judging a book by its cover! I was a little hesitant to give this place a try but the numerous positive reviews here convinced me to give Vick’s a shot for an oil change. Boy, was I impressed! The guys were all very friendly and open about what needed to be done and what it cost. They made sure I was comfortable while they were taking care of my truck and kept me in the loop about everything. It was great! My only complaint is they were so fast and thorough, I didn’t get to finish my Star Trek episode I was watching while waiting. Ha! Keep up the great work guys!

I have been here to get my oil changed twice, and I will never go anywhere else! They are super friendly, fast, and their price will beat any other in town. Plus, their waiting room is clean, cool, and comfortable, and they always have a cold beverage waiting for you! Make sure to check in and receive $ 5 off!

Excellent customer service. I spoke with Dane, the owner, on the telephone earlier in the week and he was very personable. I met his son on Saturday when I took my car in for the safety/​emissions inspection required for the annual vehicle registration. These guys are super! Open on Saturdays which is great when you work M-​F and can’t take off work to get stuff done. The business has a nice little waiting room with coffee, water, TV, and comfortable chairs. I had barely brewed my coffee and added cream/​sugar to it when the guys were done with the inspection, so I asked them if they could fit in an oil change (unscheduled, on a Saturday, mind you). They did, and in less than 15 more minutes everything was done and I was out the door. Very quick, great prices, and polite too. What’s not to love about this place?

Vick’s Expertune Automotive is an all-​star shop!!! I own a Honda Odyssey and Honda Accord and every time I brought these cars to Vick’s, they were able to correctly find the problems and fixed them at a very reasonable rates: from AC issues, alignment, car-won’t-start, etc… you name it, Vick’s fixes it. So any major problems that I have with my cars from now on I will bring them to Vick’s because I know that this shop can fix them. I found Dane Vick, the owner, to be trustworthy, reliable, and most importantly FRIENDLY. So Dane if you are reading this, I just want to let you know that I am a fan of you and your shop and you are doing a great service to the community. I will support your shop whenever I can and will tell all of my friends about your shop. Thanks.

Just went in for a regular oil change (1 week ago) was informed about somethings i did not know, like my car is suppose to have only synthetic oil lol umm good to know :) the guys were amazing very nice and patient. Will be back for a check soon. Thanks again!

What an amazing experience today! I went in for a state inspection, I called ahead of time to make an appointment and I was few minutes late due to traffic and a needy toddler! By the time I went into the waiting area with my slow toddler, inspection was over! Will definitely recommend this place to as many peeps as I can. And the owner and his son are so delightful! Thanks guys and hope to not see you soon, but if I do, I know my car will b in good hands

I was in town visiting my mom for Thanksgiving and I wanted to get her an oil change on Black Friday. I called around and most places were booked up. Vicks was also booked up but still got me in. This was the best service I have ever had at a mechanic. They fit my moms car in and completed the oil change quickly. They were also the most friendly and polite people ever. This place is the place to go to for great customer service. I know my mom will be going there moving forward and if I ever moved back to TX. This is the place I would go for all my vehicles.

Went to Vick’s for the third time without a appointment. Service was excellent. Very speedy work.

Most mechanic shops are run down, sketchy, and you are there because you have to be. Luckily with Vick’s it isn’t a bad experience.
Dane, the owner, is very friendly and will work with you to get you car working. I’ve been coming here for two years to service my accord; everything from oil changes to «my car won’t start» and every time Dane has taken care of me. His prices are fair and I haven’t had any issues with the work to date.
Given what most experiences are with mechanics, all I can say is I’m thrilled to have found a good, fair, shop around Austin.

Car repair is a difficult business since none of us ever WANT to see a mechanic. The car is broken down, often requiring a tow and it complicates the entire day.
But if the inevitable happens and you need repair, this is the place to do it! Vik and his team are personable, honest and fair. They do great work, have a nice waiting area and keep a clean shop. I highly recommend this shop to bring your car for repair or service.

Found this place via Unilocal and I couldn’t be happier! Extremely professional and courteous and amazingly nice the whole way through.
The gentleman at the front desk was knowledgeable and down to earth. We will be taking all of our cars here from now on. Excellent service and prices.
Waiting room has comfortable couches, AC, tv, free coffee and bottled water. Our oil change was done in a timely manner. Very happy with our experience here! Y’ALL NEED TO GO HERE!

This place is great! It’s quick, friendly, and inexpensive. I’ll be taking my car here for everything!

I love this place. Dane has been nothing short of amazing and every time I go in everyone has been so wonderful to me. They always try to find the most affordable way to get the work done. I have had a couple oil changes done and recently got my ac fixed here. Highly recommend!

We had just moved to Austin and needed an inspection and oil change. Vick’s took us in with out delay and really took care of us. Professionalism is on point as well as their customer service and skills in the automotive repair business. I highly recommend this shop to anyone and will be bringing my business here whenever I need automotive work. Thank you, Vick’s!

Short version: One word for this place– Genuine. They are honest. The owner is a family man, not a salesman. He is great at what he does and his team has been at it a long time. Dane did not try to upsale, and they only provided additional information if I opened the door to it. You can trust these guys.
My experience from start to finish:
I called Firestone just for an inspection and oil change. The woman who picked up didn’t greet me, and when I asked about a wait time she said «we ain’t do no appointments for inspections. You’ll see when you get here». Not joking. So I went straight to Unilocal to find a new place. And here it is.
I called over to Vick’s and told the guy who answered the phone how I had a history of bad experiences with a simple oil change talking 2 hours at Multiple places, and the guy tells me «let me patch you over to my boss, one moment». Dane, the owner picks up. He empathized with me about my bad experiences, let’s me know he will take care of me no problem, and sets me up with an appointment for a few days later. I was immediately impressed with how sincere they were, and I hadn’t even arrived yet.
Do NOT judge this place by its appearance. When I drive up on the day of my appointment, I got a little worried. The place seemed small on the outside, nothing flashy, and looked old. The waiting area wasn’t anything fancy but the seats were surprisingly comfortable! Free bottled water, coffee, and wi-​fi greet you.
My complaint before coming was waiting a long time for simple stuff. 30 minutes in, I start getting upset nobody has come to speak to me yet and I’m getting ready to right a 2 star review for this place. Dane walks in, greets me by name, and sits down across from me in the waiting area. He is EXTREMELY friendly and nice. He looks me in the eyes and says «we’re just now getting to your car. I want to let you know this is not normal for us. My goal is to get you in and out in 30 minutes and I really apologize for the wait.» I tell him «it’s okay, no worries!» Already starting to feel better from how genuine he is. He says «well no, it’s not. I really apologize, I know nobody likes to wait. We’ll get you taken care of in no time»
Instead of leaving me there, we talk. And there’s not a single awkward moment! He answers every question I’ve ever had about cars, we laugh and exchange stories about driving, and he is just overall great company. I was very impressed. They had me out of there in no time, and when I asked he gave me great advice about my car.
I will definitely be coming back.

I called at 2:45 and they got me in by 4. Very friendly, very fast (just 20 min.) And only $ 22 for semi-​synthetic. I’ll be back!

I haven’t had to take my car to a shop for years due to having a certified «in-​house» Toyota technician do all my service for me at well below market pricing. Times have changed and I have found a new home to get my routine maintenance done… Vick’s Expertune!
Dane is probably the friendliest person you’ll meet this year, and he will do the work you want at a fair price. Fear of up-​selling? Not here. Not down w the man? It’s a mom and pop shop that shoots from the hip.
They have a nice waiting room with a table and free WiFi, coffee, water and a heater for those «Austin Blizzard Icemageddon» days. I was able to get some work done in comfort without feeling cramped.
Go to Vick’s if you want friendly, no-​pressure, service from your locally owned and operated business at a fair price.

The staff was incredibly friendly, and very professional! This was my first visit, I went in for an oil change and was prepared for the up sale (new air filter, fluids, etc) but was pleasantly surprised to be wrong! This is the first establishment that hasn’t tried to dupe me into spending more money. Love the honesty! I will be a repeat customer for many years.

This guy is awesome. He gave me excellent customer service. He looked at my car free of charge And gave me options on parts. Waiting area was nice and had me on my way in no time. I definitely found a mechanic I can trust.
