I'm coming up on 25 years as a resident of Austin, TX. Out of those years I have been fortunate to be working with Dwayne for 20+ of them. And the truth is that I never should have let anyone else do any kind of work on my vehicle at any time. It is a given that we should expect the work we get done on our vehicles to be solid. Check. It is a given that we should expect to have the work done in a timely fashion. Check. It is a given that we should expect the work done on our vehicles .. particularly when it comes to the various levels of importance ... to be warrantied. Check. NO matter where he has been or what he has had going on ... Dwayne has always taken great care of all our automotive concerns. The simple truth is that Dwayne and the entire crew at GAD are doing solid work at high levels. The difference is not just everything else they are doing to make your experience the best, it is not just the amazing car service, it is not just the above and beyond when you really are in a pinch ... it is the positive attitude from the people doing the work. It is the genuine desire to build relationships and do good things for all the people that come for assistance and work on their vehicles.
Go see Dwayne and The Crew at GAD, they WILL take great care of you!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Scott C.Austin, TX07663May 10, 2023
Have you ever been down on your luck, seems like NOTHING is going right? Recently my check engine light on my Audi A3 came on, and I needed an Oxygen Sensor Bank One. Dwayne & his team saved me a gob of loot on my car, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am. I trust you implicitly, a rare compliment I only pay to the people I hold in the highest regard. I'm very grateful to have met you, Thanks for your help, along with Abby and Liz, so much appreciated.

Here is what you need to know:
This is their only physical location in which they moved to from their original location a few blocks down.
They are one of the few that will in all of Austin pick up your vehicle and offer you a rental while they work on your vehicle!
They have done phenomenal work for some of my friends and clients in networking groups I am a member of.
Charles, and the gang there will make sure their team get you situated and scheduled on time with someone to meet your needs in a satisfactory approach.
Had my car repaired there last week and the experience beginning to end was absolutely one of the best I have ever received from any auto mechanic!
They went above and beyond to help me work with my budget get me financed and be able to get me a rental while they worked on my car and helped make sure I only got what I needed to continue to extend the life of my vehicle.
Dwayne the owner even took me to the back and showed me how they look at vehicles and what they look for and their process and showed me how to understand the age and the wear and tear of my spark plugs my rotors as well as some of the other mechanics of my vehicle.
Their knowledge of vehicles is unmatched and extensive and by far this allows them to ensure that they are able to adapt to any repair situation where they can under promise and over deliver.
Highly recommend them for your next oil change, tune-up, and repair needs of your vehicle as they are the only ones I know that go this far for their clients!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Hansen H.Pflugerville, TX012Nov 19, 2023Updated review
Horrible service and disgusting attitude . They try to deceive you anyway they can. If you write an honest low rated review, the owner keeps harassing you until you remove it. They are bullies and crooks.

Sadly Yelp does not help small businesses protect themselves from troll reviewers like this person who uses this pseudonym and others to hurt businesses with fake reviews.
Oct 21, 2023Previous reviewDwayne Saunders,owner is very rude , unprofessional , liar, and a scam artist. He will try to deceive you anyway he can. Don't believe anything they tell you. Nasty place!

Called to get my Audi Q3 in for a cylinder misfire and the lady on the phone was so kind and honest. She let me know they could get it in the next day but that she believed the issue to be covered under the warranty from the previous shop who did the work. She said she didn't want to charge me for something that would be covered. As a young girl who isn't always treated so nicely from mechanic shops I appreciated this conversation. Will be using them as my shop for any future needs!!!

Went in for a check-up on my truck. Professional, thorough, fair and friendly service. There is a reason I go to Genuine Automotive & Diesel for years. I seriously can't think of any other places in town. They recently moved but it's only a few blocks away (less than 1 minute). Thank you, guys!!!
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 1, 2021Previous reviewIf I could, I would give more than five stars. We had a major problem with our diesel truck before our trip. The way they handled the situation was beyond "Superb". Melissa was our main contact person and she was always there when we had questions or needed assistance or anything. The communication with her and the whole staff was pleasant and they really treated us with utmost care. We felt very confident about their service and they sure did a excellent job on our truck. From now on, this is the place we will take all our cars whenever we need service. Total Hands Down!!!

Found myself in a tough spot with my vehicle and ended up at Genuine Automotive. The team here is so helpful and so understanding of these stressful situations. I wish I could do more than write a review to show my appreciation. I will be returning!

Dwayne and his team did a fantastic job!!
We had a dreaded check engine light (for way too many months) and we knew it was some air sensors, but not which ones exactly and what needed to be done. We also had an oil leak, some worn anti-sway bars, and needed an inspection after they fixed it.
The first shop we went to gave us a quote for $2300, which included replacing the throttle body, mass air flow sensor, and another sensor.
We contacted Dwayne for a second opinion. Dwayne and his team picked up our car, offered a loaner, and got back to us later that day.
The price for each item was competitive, but they still saved me $800 by being good technicians that understand how engines and the sensors work.
Of the three sensors that needed replaced, two of them were downline from the throttle body. The technician suggested we only replace the throttle body and see if the other sensors worked after that. And they did!!
Some auto repair shops just check the computer and repair what it says. Genuine Automotive understands how it all works together and repair what needs to be repaired.
Thank you Dwayne and team!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
