These guys are the best. One of those few businesses that breaks the old choose two; fast, cheap, good mould and gives you all three with a smile on their face. Shout out to Josh; super friendly, cool guy.

Honestly they are the best! Weve been taking our vehicles there for probably 20 years. They never fail to do their best for our wallet. You will be in good hands there. Theyve been in business for a long time. Good people there.

Bearden is a wonderful team of professional mechanics that deliver and stand behind their work. Fair and reasonable comparable prices for the area. They also offer a shuttle too.

Josh and Albert are super helpful and knowledgeable. Theyre patient and will answer any questions you have, and they clearly care about the quality of their craft. I wont take my car anywhere else to get it worked on... and if I buy another car, Ill make sure its a Lexus or Toyota so I can bring it here.

I purchased a used 2003 Lexus RX and needed some minor things done for a sensor, antenna replaced and speaker switched out. The team did a good job and the price was reasonable. of you dont have a brand new toyota/lexus or its out of warranty I recommend these guys.

I trust Bearden with my high milage Toyota pickup. All the techs are friendly and listen when I try to describe issues Im having with my truck. They never try to upsell me. I first came to Bearden for an estimate after a Toyota dealership quoted me something crazy for a repair. My tech informed me the dealership misdiagnosed my problem and the actual repair would cost less than half of what the dealership would have charged to fix the wrong thing. If you ever drive by there shop take note of all the Land Cruisers theyre working on. Those owners dont take their trucks just anywhere. You wont find a better Toyota shop in Austin.

Review №12

Do not trust this place, especially for major repairs. I brought my car in august of 2018 to have my car’s engine mounts replaced. My Toyota Solara convertible had 100k+ miles and it need quite a few repairs. As a young & naive college student that’s financially self sustaining , I was looking for a reputable shop. I came across Bearden with great reviews & thought wow this is going to be the place I come to for all my repairs! I was gravely mistaken for trusting this shop.They charged me 1k to replace all of my engine mounts but only replaced one — obviously the one that’s most visible.I remember having one of the shop members “show” me the repair after they were done and thought to myself “Bearden really goes above & beyond,wow.” I was a 20 year old girl with absolutely no knowledge of what an engine mount even looked like???I come to find this out two years later as I’m performing a repair that’s due to my car’s original engine mounts still being in place.Do not trust these people!

Josh is very easy to deal with and an all around good guy. They work on all models of Toyota/Lexus vehicles. Today there were four Land Cruisers there! When was the last time you saw four Land Cruisers at the same shop at the same time?When it comes down to it the question with any business is, Do I trust these guys? Yes!I trust these guys to maintain my vehicles.

Bearden is the best quality work you can have done on your Toyota/Lexus for 50 miles, easy. If youre in the greater Austin area and in need of maintenance or repairs, this is where you should find yourself.

We recently moved back to Austin and needed a shop almost immediately. We found that Bearden had some of the best reviews out there so we chose to give them our business and boy are we glad! Josh and everyone at Bearden were extremely easy and pleasant to work with, had a very transparent process and they took care of us in very quick time. If youre looking for an honest, professional shop thatll get the work done right, look no further! Thanks yall!

Josh and the guys at Bearden are great - I will always bring my Lexus here, they can help with any type of service and general troubleshooting. Ive never felt over charged and am often pleasantly surprised.I really like that they will give you a ride to where you need to be when you bring your car in.

The BEST. Honest, knowledgeable, reasonable and friendly. I will always take my Toyota here. I am so grateful I found this place! Each time I take my car to the dealer (occasional recall issues), the dealer makes tons of recommendations for repairs that are not needed. Bearden always steers me right and I have saved a lot of time and money because of their honesty. Thank you!

Growing business. Owner very involved directly in all aspects to assure quality. Maintenance Special done by appointment. Went smoothly. Consulted on tires. Alerted to mfr. recommended service and status of brakes, tire wear, etc. No complaints. Always enjoy doing business with Jeff. Highly recommend. Been customer for many years. Not cheap, but fair price for top quality, competent, honest service I can trust. 11/9/17.

After multiple very impressive experiences with Bearden Automotive, we have added our next car to the fleet they maintain and service for us. Since we are very sensitive to such a trustful relationship, we feel safe that all our cars are in the best hands, from regular maintenance to any service issues. Thanks to other honest reviews we tried out Bearden Automotive a year ago and we will definitely stick to them as long as we live in Austin. Customer service is fantastic, technicians are perfect and very experienced, and prices are very fair as if they would be just family relatives. All too good yet also true.

I was given a quote for the cost and the time it would take and they delivered on both. It was also quite nice that I did not have to wait there while they serviced my car. Their shuttle took me home and I was able to knock out a few to-do items while they worked on my car. A real treat!!

Excellent experience! The Service Manager, Josh, made the whole process seamless and smooth. The tech knocked out what I thought would be multiple days worth of mechanical problems on my 07 Toyota FJ in only a couple of hours! The estimate was accurate with no surprises and was a fair price considering the problems. I wouldnt bring my Toyota anywhere else in Austin. Thanks!

I look for three things in a mechanic...honesty...fairness...and excellent work...these guys are the trifecta and I honestly cant say enough good things about them...Id recommend them to anyone that owns a vehicle...do yourself a favor and deal with these guys as much as possible...good folks here...

Bearden Automotive has been servicing my Tacoma for 6+ years and I will not take my truck anywhere else. They have always done an amazing job and Ive never had any issues or complaints whatsoever. The work is done right the first time (never had to come back) and they really take pride in their work. I wish more shops operated like Bearden. They always call and explain whatever is wrong and let you know decide what work needs to be done with no pressure. There is never any upselling or shady BS. Theyve even shown me a few things I can do personally to AVOID replacing an expensive part. Ive dealt with many dishonest auto-repair shops in the past and I am so glad I found Bearden. Just recently, I came in for a check engine light. They initially thought it might have been a leaky valve in the exhaust (~$250) but later discovered it was just the gas cap (~$25). A dishonest business would have tried to screw me out of that extra money but not Bearden! I really trust these guys and everyone is always extremely kind and professional. You will not be disappointed!

This was my first visit to Bearden Automotive. Jeff, Josh and the whole staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. They were patient and very good at listening to my problem with my car. Because of my experience I will be back and refer all of friends and relatives to them. They have earned my trust and my business.

They did a fabulous job with my Land Cruiser. I never had to wait for a response and never felt I was being mistreated. They caught small issues that were missed by others and made sure to discuss them with me before attempting to fix them. Overall, the work and customer service was fabulous.

I have a 1995 ES 300 and my plan was to drive it into the ground. As long as Jeff and his entire crew are around, Im afraid Ill die before the car does. Ive been using Bearden for over 15 years. I get a list of what needs to be done now and a list of whats next (when Im ready). Honesty and Integrity go a long way in my book.

Review №39

Im really impressed with these guys, they know their stuff and caught legit maintenance needs on my ride that others had missed while dismissing the needless dealer recommended schedule items. They are ready to go when you come in, finish work on time, do a quality job and the prices are reasonable for the expertise and level of work they perform. If you have a Toyota, Lexus or Scion, this is the place to go when your warranty expires. Nice folks to boot!

Review №43

This place was exactly what I was looking for!In my 16 years of auto ownership Id never had to pay a mechanic for services, always turning the wrenches myself, but the job on my LS460 was well out of my depth and I felt it better left to the pros. Josh and the guys at Bearden are just that, and they were more than happy to accommodate my own parts hunting in order to allow me to keep my costs under control. I found the parts, had them shipped straight to Bearden, and the guys there turned my car around in just a few days time. The bill was exactly as Id expected it and the car has run phenomenally for the past 5 months/8,000 miles.I cant recommend them enough if youre a Toyota or Lexus driver. Theyll be my go-to mechanic for any and all future work that I cant (or dont want to) handle.

Great service! I am typically one to go to the Lexus dealership, but as my 04 and 05 Lexus get older I decided to take a chance and skip the fancy service and free muffins. Little did I know the team at Bearden really goes above and beyond to take care of your car. There is no upselling and they give great advice on what is truely needed to keep your car running. I plan on going to these guys from now on for any major maintenance issues.

Bearden Automotive is the best car repair shop in Austin. I have had Brakes done, wiring harnesses fixed, new starter, broken door handles, an overhaul of the radiator system, a nightmare oil leak, a fuel pump repair and more!I have always liked Toyota and Lexus but cannot stand using the dealership repair shop. Since finding Bearden automotive I will only buy Toyota and Lexus because that is what they repair. If Bearden told me tomorrow they only fix Fords I would sell my Toyota and Lexus and buy a Ford, they are that good and they are my repair shop period.Some news has been good like today all we needed was a new battery, and some has been bad, that oil leak nightmare, but the best part about Bearden is I have never ever felt ripped off. They are not the cheapest but they are the best mechanics I have ever used and they have always been honest and done a good job.

Ive been taking my 99 Lexus RX-300 and my Toyota RAV4 here for at least the last 8 years. Im somewhat of a do-it-yourselfer and these guys are always willing to help me troubleshoot. And I know that when Im in over my head I can take my vehicles into the shop and theyll provide reliable and honest service.

Charles Maund Toyota: It will take $6,500 to fix your car.Bearden Automotive: Hold my beer...Stranded in a Whataburger parking lot, I towed my car to the only place I could think of at the time... Charles Maund. The service manager Angel, was very nice and helpful. They diagnosed my car the same day and came back with ​a solution to the problem.Or perhaps I should say that they diagnosed my car the same day and came back with a solution to the problem.They claimed that battery corrosion ate through at the wires connecting the alternator to the battery. Due how the car was made, the only option was to replace the complete wiring harness and it was going to cost $6,500. Needless to say that was a hard pill to swallow.I called another shop and they said they couldnt take on a project that big, and then referred me to Bearden. I called Bearden and I felt much better about the situation within a few minutes of talking to Josh. He said he had no guarantees without seeing the car, but he could likely do it for considerably less. So, I took a risk and I paid to tow my car to them.THANK GOD I DID!Guess what yall? They tested the voltage going into that wire and the voltage coming out of that wire, and there was nothing wrong with the wire. So what did they do? They slapped a battery in that sucker and the car came back to life! They continued to test it and even took it for a lengthy stroll, and it runs perfectly!Im not sure if Charles Maund just thought oh, she wont bother towing it anywhere else... or if they actually DO think there was corrosion in the wires. But honestly, it doesnt matter. What matters is that Josh had the opportunity to charge significantly more for the repair. And instead, he simply fixed what was wrong. In an industry that is notorious for taking advantage of unsuspecting people, Bearden is the place you can trust.Bearden will not only be the place we take all of our vehicles, but it will be the only place we recommend to any of our friends.Thanks for being the rockstars we badly needed! We appreciate it more than you know!

Ive been taking my Lexus to Beardens for about 16-17 years and they have always done an excellent job. We moved a few years ago and I took my car to someone else but then had to take it to Beardens to fix what the other car repair shop messed up. I HIGHLY recommend Beardens for any Lexus or Toyota repair.

We had expected a simple disc pad replacement, but teardown revealed severe damage to one rotor. They immediately ordered replacement rotors from WorldPac where I used to work, and where they were my customer. They showed me the damage and I approved the additional repair. Because of their prompt action it only took a short time to do the extra work while I waited. I will continue to use Bearden for any additional work on this second Prius.

Review №57

A couple weeks ago, my 2007 Toyota Prius needed a 12v battery replacement. It was the first replacement I needed for it since I bought the car in the middle of 08 and I have about 125k miles on it. Even though Batteries Plus said they would do it, when they took a look at what would have to be done in the trunk to replace the battery, they immediately changed their minds. Frustrated, I went to Bearden who I have worked with for years, and they knocked it out in under two hours at a great price. Today I took it in to see about getting the parking brake line looked at to pass state inspection, and they were able to diagnose and adjust the cable in the morning and I picked it up in the afternoon without a problem, and as always, very affordable. These guys are so good at what they do, I told them if I lived outside of Texas and I was able to drive my car into their shop to have anything worked on it, I absolutely would. In fact, theyre so amazing, Im having a difficult time considering upgrading my car to something other than a Toyota or Lexus! When it comes to being professional, friendly, timely, and affordable, there is nobody else on the planet I can think of to take my car. Could I have taken my car to a shop closer to my home? Absolutely. Should I? Never. Not a chain repair shop, not another mom and pop shop, not even a certified dealership comes anywhere close to how incredible these guys are. I have no doubt in my mind my car would make it to a million miles with their help, and I just might see if I can make that happen. Thank you Josh and crew at Bearden! You have a customer for many more years and Ill be sure to send anyone who owns a Toyota and/or Lexus your way without hesitation!Update 4/24/21It had been a while since I had my 2007 Prius looked at and even though I didnt drive it much during 2020, I knew it needed the care only Bearden could provide.I was worried last year would have been tough on them like it was for so many of us, but their being here only further solidifies their reputation!I needed a laundry list of things from them:Full checkupLeft front light outHybrid battery checkWindow seals replacedBrakes replacedSpark plugs replacedBack window wiper replacedAntenna replacedBack door handle replacedTPMS monitors replacedWheel alignmentAnd I needed to get my safety sticker renewed so they let me know about my front tires needing to be replaced.These guys went above and beyond and even changed the oil! I seriously cannot thank them enough for all they did at such a reasonable price and now my car runs like a dream! I have full confidence that my car will see its 20th birthday thanks to Josh and the Bearden team! They arent just certified master mechanics - they are literally the BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!!
