The guys on 41st Street have treated me very fairly in my last few visits. In two cases, it turned out that a very simple fix got my vehicles back on the road. They didn't charge me for their trouble. "Pay us when you have some substantial work for us to do. We're happy we have your business." I have no reason to even think about going anywhere else.

Been taking 3 cars into Groovy for several years now since we moved into the neighborhood. These guys are great. Expert, fair, communicative and timely. Recently they helped my wife out with her car with a minor issue at no cost just because they're great guys. Thank you Groovy!

Groovy has been my shop now for almost 10 years. After just OK to mediocre experiences at other shops around town, I tried Groovy and haven't went back since. Friendly (easily the most friendly shop I've been to over the years), prompt, and helpful. Everybody at Groovy who's helped me over the years has went out of their way to make me a happy customer, taken the time to answer any questions or explain things, etc.

My husband and I both come here. I recently had an issue with my check engine light after going to jiffy lube, they helped me out. I had a really positive experience and will continue to bring my car here.

Great experience! Instead of trying ways to get more money out of me we worked together to find the best way to get my car fixed in a timely manner. Special thanks to Jim!

My experience with Groovy Automotive with the assistance of Frank Rodriguez was very excellent. I had brought in my 1974 Oldsmobile 98 for some work to done. They had changed out my radiator and radiator hoses upper and lower. Changed out my brake system new brakes rotors and brake calibers. New suspension shocks. They also changed out the spark plugs and did a full tuneup on my vehicle. Changed out the transmission filter. They did a awesome job they are very knowledgeable at what they do and answered every question I had for them. They fixed my vehicle in a timely manner and affordable for me. They worked with me on parts and labor. Frank Rodriguez was very helpful and friendly found all parts for my vehicle. If you have a classic car and looking for work to be done i highly recommend Groovy Automotive to anyone and ask for Frank Rodriguez

I can't say enough good things about Groovy Automotive the people there. Always up front and honest which is what we all want when it comes to car repair. I've used them for years and can highly recommend the place.

Came in for a tire patch and they were able to get me in and out in under an hour! They even made sure my tire was inflated back to the correct pressure after they patched it. Great service and super friendly staff!Service: TiresService: Tires

A chain shop told me I needed a new CV boot and quoted me $1100 for the repair. I called Groovy Automotive who told me they could do it for $600. I brought it into Groovy Automotive and they told me it didn't need a new CV boot at all: the chain shop confused the oil they spilled during their shoddy oil change with grease from the CV boot. Groovy saved me $1100 and I found my new auto shop. Support this local Austin institution. They're honest and nice guys to boot.

I highly recommend Groovy automotive! I stopped by to see if they could fit me in for a quick check of my battery connections. They didn t have a spot til later in the afternoon but Paul was able to look at it quickly and all it needed was something to be tightened and the problem was taken care of. He took just a few minutes and saved me a lot of time and hassle. I ll be bringing my car back the next time I have any issues!Service: Battery

Groovy Automotive is AMAZING! I am a girl in her early 20s who frankly hates having to deal with anything car related. Before my experience at Groovy, I felt like every place I went to in ATX would try to scam me because I was a young woman. Recently a car side swiped me downtown and busted my headlight while leaving a wicked mark on the front of my car. My dad called a previous automotive shop and received a super overpriced quote for the repairs. In a desperate measure, I took my car to Groovy just to see what they would do. They were super professional, talked to me like a human, answered all of my dad's typical parental car questions over the phone, gave us a super reasonable price for the repairs, and had my car fixed and detailed the same day I took it in. Plus, they gave me a ride so I wouldn't have to pay for an Uber! Jim was so great to work with and made the entire experience enjoyable. I will ALWAYS recommend them to anyone!

These guys are great. Paul is super friendly and helpful, We have have a German Audi, but I would never take it to the Audi dealership - Groovy is always there for me, they make things easy, communicate well, and understand the problems proficiently. I m so glad they are right here in our neighborhood!

I can't give anything other than 5* after trying out Groovy Automotive recently. I own a fleet of cars and one of my cars was at my regular mechanic for some suspension work, and unfortunately my mechanic couldn't complete the work. I called around, and Groovy had a decent price for the work, so I took my car there. The next day I received a call explaining the work was unneeded... I just needed a new tire. My whole car was shaking, and my last mechanic misdiagnosed it. I went across town and got two new front tires and like they said, that was all the car needed. I don't know how much money I sunk into unnecessary repairs on this car and so much time wasted, but Groovy obviously knows what they're doing and I'll be moving a lot of my business to them. Didn't even charge me a diagnosis fee for figuring out the actual problem. Great service!

Yesterday I had 4 wheels of tire replacement and I was satisfied with it AT LEAST ON THAT DAY. But just on the next day, when I was driving on the road, a cover of a rim of the replaced tires got dropped away from my car. I even didn't think it was from my car, since I just had a new tire replacement a day before. Anyway, after losing the cover of a wheel rim, I went to groovy to ask about this happening. And the owner said it is not our responsibility to care of the wheel trim condition, even though he detached the covers to replace my tires and attached them again. Excuse me, you were the only one who touched my tires!! Anyway, as a customer, and according to the general clues, certainly I could guess the dropped cover happened due to a careless tire replacement by the engineer, since such ridiculous thing never happened before in my driving experience. But the owner's attitude was very stubborn and keep saying that we are very professional and always doublecheck for their repair so such mistake won't happen ever in his career. How can there be "perfect" repair in this world? They are also human beings who could make a mistake. I was very very disappointed with their attitude and the feedback for such ridiculous issue on my tire.PLEASE BE PROFESSIONAL NOT ONLY FOR YOUR WORK BUT ALSO FOR YOUR "RESPONSIBILITY ".
