Thank you for visiting our website. We are owner/operators Hugh Prifogle and Brian Perlinger. We are ASE certified master technicians who have been working together since 1989 and have been servicing customers in the NW Austin area since 1991. In December 2001, we opened our own 10 bay repair facility to continue our high level of customer service.
When you bring your vehicle to our shop, we are looking to make a long term relationship. Many of our customers have been with us so long that their children are now also our customers. We will never pressure or recommend repairs or services that are not absolutely needed, or required by the manufacturer. We do proper diagnosis and give exact estimates on the services or repairs that you need. All of our repairs have a full 12 month, 12,000 mile nationwide warranty.
Our goal is to make your vehicle service and repair as easy and cost effective as possible. Our record keeping is computerized, allowing for easy follow up and tracking of expenses by the mile. To ensure timely service, all of our work is by appointment only. If we are servicing your car, and you need to be somewhere in the local area, we can drop you off and pick you back up to retrieve your vehicle once everything is complete. Also, there is after hours vehicle drop off and pick up for those who can't make it during our normal business hours. For those quick services, such as oil changes or inspections, we have a waiting room with many amenities: couches, satellite television, wireless network access, soft drinks and fresh ground coffee.
ASE Certified Master Technicians
Serving Northwest Austin since 1992.
The A/C has to work harder to compensate for any lack of refrigerant, this can lead to premature failures in compressors, relays and fans. Our A/C service will test your system pressures, cooling efficiency, fan operation, belt and hose conditions and mode functions. We will fill your system to capacity and add a fluorescent dye for future leak detection. We do complete A/C repairs with a full 12 month 12,000 mile warranty.
You want the best qualified person working on your brakes. You want quality parts that you know will work when you need them. Auto Techs inspects your brake system starting and ending with a thorough road test. Our visual inspections include measuring and testing conditions and function. Auto Techs will only sell you what is needed to make your brake system safe as new. We warranty all our brake repairs against any noise or pulsation.
In the early 80s manufactures were worried that a light that said "Check Computer" or anything related to the computer would be ignored by the owners. The new political correct term is "Malfunction Indicator Light" or MIL. The light relates to the control systems for emission controls. Vehicles 1996 and newer have the second version or OBD2 (On Board Diagnostics 2), and will not pass emission inspection if the light is on. Auto Techs has the training and equipment to properly test and repair all aspects of your OBD systems.
