A satisfied customer

I've done business with Auto Depot off and on since '03. I have bought cars from them, and had repairs done by them.

Dealing with Auto Depot is different from most other auto businesses, mainly because owner Jim Ernst wants to deal with...

THEY KILLED MY CAR!

After Jim Ernst and his chain-smoking-incompetent mechanic Cliff was done with my car it was gone forever. After two failed attempts in a month to fix my car I didn't have the money for a third try that would likely be another failure....

Previous negative reviewer a hater

I have done business with Auto Depot for the past 9 years and have been treated well and enjoyed the fastest service I have seen in a body shop in the 40 years I have lived in Austin. First -rate work. I have been so impressed I have...

Please DO NOT BELIEVE the positive reviews!!!

Read all of the negative reviews...those are true! I speak from experience and tell the truth - avoid the headache(s) and look elsewhere!!!

I only wish I'd have looked here and Yelp first! Check out the BBB site as well and Good Luck...

Worst Experience Ever

The positive reviews here are potentially fake. How do I know? I was told by the manager, Jim, that if I put up a positive review on citysearch, he'd treat me better.

I am not a person who only writes negative reviews. I am not...

Great place to get a used car!

I just bought my second vehicle from the Auto Depot. I couldn't be happier. I had purchased a Miata from them a few years back, which I loved. Zippy car only ever had to perform the regular maintenance on it. So when I returned to...

Best used car!

I bought a '96 Honda Civic from the Auto Depot after I liked what I liked what I read about them in the Austin Chronicle. I was impressed by the genuine care & concern the the owner Jim has for his customers. My investment is protected by...

Wow Jim you must be looking over your shoulder constantly with all the people you have ripped off in Austin!

The positive reviews of Auto Depot are all fake; posted by owner Jim Ernst, his partner in crime Jeff Radke, or their...

Worst place to do business

In January of 2011 I bought a Mazda Tribute for my Grand son from Jim that needed some work. I paid fully for the car and was promised that the car will be ready in 2 to 4 weeks. Four weeks later, nothing was done on the car. For the...

Nightmare Auto Shop From Hell - NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH JIM!!

Jim Ernst is the most dishonest "mechanic" I have ever met.

If there was a way to give this 0 stars, trust me: I would. My fiance and I have had the most frustrating and horrible experience getting a car through Jim & Auto Depot.

Let me...

I recently wrecked my 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. I was in desperate need of a new vehicle. I was browsing craigslist when i stumbled upon a decent looking car around my price range. This place is in a central location in North Austin. Jim...

Check this place out before you buy a coar

I bought a used Honda Civic with an engine that has only 9,000 miles. The rest of the car is as good as new.
My car payments are now $214 a month. If I had bought a new car my payments, with insurance would have been $650 a month. I am...

Simply the best car repair, car-buying experience in Austin

It's pretty simple really - Jim Ernst and crew will repair your car for less money and less hassle than anywhere else in Austin. My car needed major repairs and they beat a competitor's quote by over $300.

When it came time to upgrade,...

I like this place

I bought an Acura from Jim at Auto Depot last week, and I am very happy with it. I'm always a little wary when buying a used car, but the warranty that they offer is wonderful and helped make my decision easier. It's a very informal...

Happy with the car buying experience-thanks Jim!

So far I have been pleased with my experience. It was time to trade in my gas guzzling truck of 10 years and I went in to check out a couple of cars. One of them was still being repaired and I couldn't take it out yet so I took the other,...

Great deals - longtime customer

My wife and I bought our first car from them probably 15 years ago. It was a Honda Accord, and my wife got 371,000 miles on it. Anyway, every car we've bought since then as been from Auto Depot, and the deals are great, the warranty is...

Honest, reliable auto repair

I have had my car serviced several times. The people who work there are professional and very friendly. They go out of their way to take care of their customers. It's the only place I trust.

excellent service

I bought a '99 Mazda Protege from the Auto Depot recently. I chose them mostly due to the 1 year waranty on the car, which I couldn't find anywhere else in my price range. They also picked me up and dropped me off at work, when seeing...

We purchased a car from Jim several years ago and it has been fine. It came with a warranty but nothing serious ever went wrong. I recently wrecked my Toyota truck and Jim gave me a reasonable estimate. They fixed it while I waited; they...

One word to describe these guys - "Legit" -

From the time I set up time to have an estimate, until the time I drove away in my repaired vehicle, I felt like the folks at this place were going above and beyond anything I expected.

Austin's worst customer care

The worst experience ever with a used car dealer. Paid cash for my vehicle and had to wait 3 months to get it out of the shop. Jim did virtually nothing to expedite the process. He asked me repeatedly to loan him money! The transmission...
