Austin Auto Repair

I have been using Paul and his shop for many years, on many vehicles, since they were originally further south on Hwy 183- I would highly recommend Paul and Rational Auto for car repair.

I'm so glad to see another review of Rational. My husband turned me on to this place when I was due for my 50,000 mile tune-up. I called Paul and told him the make and model of my car, and he told me I didn't need to come in until 75,000 miles. Um, WHAT???? An HONEST MECHANIC?!?? Dude could have brought me in there and charged me a hundred bucks and I would never have known the difference. Since then I've brought my car in for a slippy transmission (which he doesn't fix, by the way, but he will refer you to Longhorn Transmission, review coming soon) and a brake job. We refer everyone we know to him, and they always have good experiences. If you've read my other reviews you know I also have an honest general contractor, so basically I'm the luckiest person in the world. Thanks, Paul, for being a good guy and a great mechanic.

Paul Sims is one hard-working, honest mechanic who happens to own the place. We live in Bastrop, one of us works in Buda and his shop is on the other side of Austin from us - off of Hwy 183. Yet, we keep going because he's good, he's efficient and if he can't fix it, there's no B.S. involved. Really knows his stuff and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Believe me, with the price of gas, we think about going some place closer to our hive of activity, but don't because Paul and his guys do great work. It's very difficult to get consistent quality these days in ANYTHING, much less an auto mechanic. Much less with an HONEST auto mechanic. Have you had a tune-up lately? I'd just call Rational. He'll let you know what's up with your car/truck, whatever. And he's a really nice guy.
