The customer service is top notch. Robert is so knowledgeable and was patient to take the time to explain and present all my options. As a single mom I have been burned by other mechanics. Robert was able to reassure me that the repair was not urgently needed allowing me to plan ahead and budget. I am very grateful for the care and consideration they showed me in light of my situation. Thank you Gabriel. I highly recommend Vinyard Bay Automotive.

Excellent, Honest and within budget. Easily the most honest mechanic I’ve ever been to…Brian, Gabriel, Josh and Robert really took care of my needs. Working on a 6.4L Ford isn’t easy; in fact, it sucks. Ford crams so much crap under the hood, you have to remove the cab to do most intake repairs – I mean really? These guys took great care of me and my truck and made me feel valued. They called me with updates and came in exactly at the amount quoted. My go-to shop from now on.

I took my Chevy Tahoe into Vineyard Bay Automotive and am very happy I did. Gabe the owner was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. They were nice enough to shuttle me back to my house and also picked me up and brought me to the shop when the repair was complete. My Tahoe is fixed and running great now. During the entire process I felt like I could trust Gabe and his team and I will definitely use them again!

Dropped into this shop via warranty work from a local auto sales location. Found a wonderfully knowledgeable and transparent staff and owner. They spent thier own time diagnosing serval issues with my Toyota that another shop in Lakeway just could not figure out. Repaired my car on time, exactly as quoted. Perfect. I have finally found an auto repair shop in Lakeway that I can trust. These guys will not try to upsell you like the multiple location franchise repair shops. I trust Gabriel May the owner…he’s a great guy!.
I recomend Vinyard Bay Automotive without hesitation.

I have a 2002 Thunderbird. I love this car! I was having a problem with my windshield wipers working/not working. I had been taking my car to Covert Ford since 2007. In the last few years, from 2012 to 2015, I went to Covert 10-15 times specifically to get my wipers fixed. Covert replaced the switch on the wiper lever twice and then replaced the wiper motor. Nothing changed and the motor, the final solution, cost around $500. Yikes! My wipers still didn’t work, so I just didn’t drive my car if it looked like it was going to rain, and I started looking into getting a new car. I really didn’t want one, and I couldn’t find anything that I liked or wanted. I really like my Thunderbird and really wanted to keep it. In April of this year my car needed brakes. I did not want to go back to Covert and so I started looking for someone else to work on my car. I went to Vineyard Bay Automotive and found Gabriel and Robert. Yay!! Gabriel was terrific! They got me in and out really quick. Best brake job I’ve ever had! I asked them to look at my wipers and Gabriel said he would order a part for me. A couple of months went by and I needed to have my car serviced, so I went right back to Vineyard Bay. I asked Gabriel if the part for my wipers ever came in and I also mentioned that my windshield wipers had been working perfectly ever since they fixed my brakes. It was then that Gabriel told me that Robert looked at the wiring to my wipers and made a little adjustment. I was floored! And also thrilled! Robert had fixed my wipers. They didn’t tell me, and they didn’t even charge me! I will never take my car(s) any place else. I’ve been around for 60+ years and was always the person in the family to get the cars serviced. Vineyard Bay Automotive is the best place I’ve ever been and I’ve lived in and been to a lot of different places. I’m so happy I’ve found a place that can keep my car going hopefully as long as I can keep going! I’ve always told everybody, especially when they comment on my car, that I hope I die before the car does. Thank you, Gabriel, and, thank you, Robert! These guys, and this place are ‘Simply, the BEST!’ P.S. They also fixed my son’s side view mirror on his truck and it solved a wind noise problem that his truck has had ever since he purchased it in 2007. Maxwell Dodge has always maintained that the problem could not be fixed! Thanks again guys!

I went to Vineyard Bay Automotive because my car was over heating. The owner, Gabriel, and his employees were able to quickly diagnose that my water pump was not working properly . They were able to replace the water pump, within a couple of hours at an affordable rate. The customer service was sensational, and this is my first time being at an auto repair shop where i didn’t feel like i was being swindled or up sold. They definitely earned my trust. If I have any future car issues, I have no reservations taking it back to Vineyard Bay.

I will never take my van anywhere else after going here. Gabriel showed professionalism as well as a caring heart for his customers. I was totally screwed over by another automotive place and Gabriel was very honest with what needed to be done in order to fix all the mistakes. I wish I had known of this place sooner but I am glad to finally have my van in good honest hands. I highly recommend this place for all your automotive needs.

I have an older car that I knew was expensive to repair so I asked for an estimate. I knew there were some problems and was probably going to sell the car if the estimate was too high.

So I talked to Michael and of course the repairs were probably more expensive than what the car was worth. Michael mentioned it was a really nice car besides that issue and I should probably consider keeping the car. He asked what I was willing to spend to keep the car. He checked with the owner and they actually met my budget to repair only the critical problems! I have never had a mechanic listen that well and felt like they did everything to earn my trust and business. Car runs fine and saved me the hassle of buying a car and making car payments for another time!

Very happy I found this shop, my Lincoln has been having a abs issue for a couple of months where it would activate 50% of the time when it shouldn’t. I brought it both covert ford and maxwell ford. First dealer told me I needed new rear brakes, so I had the rear brakes done. They said no issues with abs.

So a day later had same abs issue happening so o thought bring it into another ford dealer. They looked at me as if I was crazy and after a $89 inspection fee they told me no issues found

I have to say a person knows their car and issues it has. I knew the problem was real and when it comes to brakes I do not fool around.

A neighbor recommended vineyard and said they are top notch. So off I went. I met Gabe who I think is the owner, firstly I was delighted that they were willing to diagnose at no charge. Not sure if that is normal and maybe he felt bad about the dealer troubles I just had

Well after having the car for under an hour they found the issue as it was a right rear abs wheel sensor that was not reading the wheel rotation causing the abs to rapidly pulsate my brake pedal. I was also very happy with labor costs, much lower than ford dealers

Work was done in one day. Very refreshing as every place else I have been to here in Austin can range from 1-2 weeks with painful wait times to even get your car looked at.

I recommend these guys to anyone I can. Happy to have found such a to notch shop

Oh and also great that my car was returned as clean as I left it. Every time I have had my car in for service at the big ford dealers it was always returned to me with at least one grease mark on my leather interior
