Austin Auto Repair

Great service, fair pricing, and Paul only does the work that needs to be done. It is a pleasure to deal with a true professional.

Rational automotive had replaced the ac compressor, ac system and electric fans on our 2005 Honda crv around a year ago at a cost of $1500. Last week the ac quit working and the the main belt came apart. Had to have the car towed to Rational auto. Rational auto mechanics checked the problem and initially said the belt and tensioner had to be replaced at a cost of around $330 dollars. Later Rational auto called and said the ac compressor had locked up and would have to be replaced. They indicated that the part and labor for the initial ac work was still under warranty. They replaced the compressor (with a better part), ac system, tensioner, and belt for $330 dollars. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Thank you so much for the expert care and service you provided for my older Honda. I appreciate your advice that my car, given proper maintenance, will last up to 250,000 miles!

Great turnaround, accurate pricing, friendly service - 2nd time there and same results both time, Paul does a great job.

Great service

As always, Paul and his guys exceeded my expectations.

This is the BEST place in Austin for automotive repair! Paul is honest and fair, and he has been the most helpful person in my entire history of owning cars, and I have been around for some time. I highly recommend Rational Auto Repair for anything from oil changes, to diagnostics, to new tires, to major servicing like tune-ups, and really everything they do. Of all of the places I have gone when I lived in Houston, and also in Austin before discovering Rational, this is the ONLY place that I have no worry that someone has a sales pitch waiting and someone is trying to take advantage of me to make more money. Thank you, Paul and Rational. You guys are exceptional!
