MD Automotive MOBILE MECHANIC - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Andrew Hunsberger: Great experience with Ryan - had (what we thought) was an issue with the starter on my Toyota Tundra. Ryan diagnosed the actual problem quickly and ended up saving me ~$1K (only charged for the hour or so he spent during diagnosis.) Very professional, fair, and trustworthy. Will certainly be coming back for future service requests.

5 /5 Zipper 989: I was working on an air suspension project on my car and ran into a frustrating issue trying to remove a retaining bolt. After two days of trying everything I could think of, I finally gave in and reached out to MD Automotive, a local Austin mobile mechanic. Although they typically only service South Austin and I’m located in Manor, they were kind enough to make an exception—and I was ecstatic to hear that. Ryan kept great communication throughout, showed up on time, and was incredibly skilled. What took me two days to struggle with, he handled in just 10 minutes. While he was here, he also took a quick look at a fluid leak on one of my other vehicles and even gave me some great recommendations on pro tools I should consider if I plan on continuing to work on my cars. Highly recommend MD Automotive if you’re looking for honest, efficient, and skilled mobile mechanic service in Austin.

5 /5 Andrea Wilson: NEED A TRUSTWORTHY MECHANIC? READ THIS BEFORE YOU GET SCAMMED As I was racing against the clock to get my mom’s car back on the road—her only means of transportation after years of teleworking—you can imagine the anxiety of trying to revive a completely inoperable vehicle in under two months. I had to consider who would do the repairs, how much it would cost, and whether the timing would work out. MD Automotive tackled every one of those concerns. I first heard about them through my boyfriend, who was referred by my roommate, and after seeing how satisfied they were with their service, I knew they were worth checking out. And let me tell you, they delivered. From my very first visit, MD Automotive solidified my trust. Over the past two weeks, my car went from completely lifeless to fresh and ready for the road—without breaking the bank. The affordability alone was a huge relief. Unlike places like Firestone or Lamb’s Tire Shop, where you’re hit with sky-high prices, an overwhelming list of unnecessary “repairs,” and the feeling that you’re being taken advantage of because you don’t speak mechanic, MD Automotive is different. They focus on getting your car running at its best for the long haul. More importantly, they operate as a team—supporting each other to make sure the job gets done right. And the best part? They’re mobile mechanics! No more sitting for hours in an uncomfortable waiting room with no food, no entertainment, and nothing but time ticking away. I have to give a huge shoutout to Brian—his expertise with my Nissan was outstanding. He didn’t just fix the car; he took the time to teach, inform, and be realistic about what needed to be done. For the average person, the inner workings of a car are a mystery, but Brian provided transparency, valuable maintenance tips, and a level of patience and collaboration that is rare to find in this industry. Now, I know it might sound like I’m hyping MD Automotive up a lot, but trust me—it’s well deserved. I rarely feel compelled to write reviews like this unless a company truly earns it. If I had one minor critique, it would be the occasional two-hour delay for scheduled appointments. But honestly, when the trade-off is having a mechanic who is reliable, skilled, and transparent, that’s a small price to pay. MD Automotive, thank you for serving the Austin community with passionate, trustworthy mechanics who genuinely care. I hope as you grow, you continue to provide this level of service because, in a world of financial uncertainty and limited options, it’s a relief to have access to a mechanic that actually looks out for you. Don’t’ believe me? Give them a text/call TODAY and check them out for yourself!

5 /5 Margot Subscriptions: A couple of weeks ago, I hit a patch of gravel while driving, temporarily lost control of the steering, and skidded into a curb. I wasn’t going fast, but it was enough to break my front right lower control arm. Oh—at the time, I had no idea that’s what I had done. All I knew was that the tire was completely cattywampus—crookeder than a dog’s hind leg, as your grandpa might have said—and it was not moving. As I was frantically trying to arrange for a tow while my fellow morning commuters expressed their sympathy with honks and colorful hand gestures, a guy passing by in his work truck pulled over and asked if I needed help with a push. I explained that I was pretty sure the front axle was bent, the car was immovable (and possibly totaled). That’s when he introduced himself as Johna, a mobile mechanic with MD Automotive, and offered to assess the situation. Braving traffic, he crawled under the car, immediately diagnosed the problem, and even gave me a rough estimate of how much it would cost and how long it would take to repair. Truly, if I was destined to have this particular accident on this particular day, it was a godsend that someone so friendly and knowledgeable happened by. Johna helped me get my car into a safer place (I could drive a very short distance in reverse), gave me the owner’s business card, and bid me a good day. I called Ryan Mura shortly thereafter, and Johna had already apprised him of my situation. Ryan was also very professional, quoted me a fair price for the repair, and set up a time to fix my car as soon as the part could be ordered/retrieved (a few days later). I had never used a mobile mechanic service before, but it made sense that their lower overhead meant they could charge significantly less than a brick-and-mortar automotive shop. I was so impressed by both Johna and Ryan that I decided to green-light the repair. Come the morning of the repair, Johna arrived punctually, installed the new lower control arm efficiently, and checked related systems like the brakes. Upon test driving, while the car was once again drivable, it was clear the alignment was significantly off. Johna explained that alignment jobs require highly specialized equipment and precise calibration—something best done at a shop with the right machines and tools. I really appreciated his frankness and honesty about his limitations as a mobile mechanic. When I took my car into the dealership the next day to get the alignment fixed, they told me that whoever had repaired the control arm had done a really good job. Ten out of ten times, I would work with Johna and Ryan again. They were highly personable, highly skilled, and displayed a high degree of integrity in how they conducted themselves and their business (my repair was guaranteed for a year, by the way). While I hope I don’t need any more car repairs anytime soon, I feel like I’ve found my forever mechanics with these guys. If, like me, you’re hesitant to use a mobile mechanic, consider this your word of encouragement. Five stars all the way.

5 /5 Jaime Lovelace: In Texas, we know how hot it gets! I was driving around with a broken AC. Shops were quoting me thousands and then I found Ryan with MD Automotive! He came to me, fixed my AC quickly and the price was reasonable! Calling him for any future needs!
