    Patty Day

  • Thank you to the wonderful people at Riethmeyer's for your friendly and excellent service. I'm a customer for life.

    Amanda Smith Johnson

  • I was referred to Reithmeyer's by a happy customer. The first time I visited Reithmeyer's, my car had a pinched A/C hose that was leaking on the floor board. Keith fixed the hose, didn't charge me, and said just come on back when you need something more. Needless to say, I have been back ever since.

    Audrey Nimmo

  • If you are looking for a very honest family owned shop to do work on your vehicle, this is the place to go. Shawn and his staff are very outstanding and very knowledgeable, and their work and customer service are first class. I don't mind driving 17 miles to get work done on my vehicle(s) and I will highly recommend them to anyone.

    Mark Foster

  • I originally went to Riethmeyer's to rent a U-Haul trailer, but while attaching the trailer, we discovered that I had lost the voltage output from my left rear turn signal through my vehicle's trailer lighting module. Kieth went way above and beyond in helping me resolve the problem in short order. He and the entire staff are friendly, stand-up folks who know what they are doing and are big on customer service.

    Chris Leonard

  • My 1995 Chevy Caprice Classic had no A/C in it for two years. I was afraid to go get it looked at due to what I thought it would cost to repair it (more than the car is worth, for sure?). I took it to Riethmeyer's, they had it fixed quickly (an hour maybe) and charged me $160 for the recharge, labor, and valve covers that needed replacing. That was over a month ago, and my A/C is still blowing ice cold. I'm taking Floe back next week to get the windows fixed.

    Tamara Teigen

  • I've been a customer of Reithmeyer's for about 4 years now. They always take care of you, no matter how big or small the job is. They'll offer free rides to and from the place once you've dropped your car off, and they're very prompt about getting back to you with estimates for repair.

    Evan Dozier

  • Owned by a family with racing history. They fixed my car in a day and were really polite and knowledgeable.

    Dimitar Dimitrov

  • Excellent service! Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

    Mark Blankenship

  • I came here based on the positive reviews and felt the need to post one also because my experience here was better than expected. Their honesty saved me alot of money. The work was done quickly, and very thorough and for less money than I expected. I won't take my car any where else now after bringing it here.

    Travis Cameron

  • Took my car here to fix a stuck window. Cost me $100 and it was quick. Then I took a used car I was test driving. They took about an hour and checked everything. Terry gave me his honest opinion on the car, and based on his advice I ended up buying a different, brand new car and I'm glad I did. Very honest people. If you need to test cars they have good deals.

    Estela Aragon

  • They're honest, friendly, and helpful. Their prices are much better than the dealership. It's obviously a family business, and they take pride in their work.

    Kathy Blankenship

  • Had my Pontiac Fiero that needed a little bit of work taken here and they did a pretty good job. The quality of service at Riethmeyer's is above average, and they have a very low sales pressure staff which was nice.

    David McCoy

  • These people are as Honest as the day is long. If they tell you something is broken you can bank on it. I went in willing to pay for a new water pump. Turns out it was a loose clamp on one of the hoses. They charged me an hour's labor, and I would have willingly paid more. If they tell you your blinker fluid is low buy a quart! HaHa!

    John Dolan

  • Came here for a variety of car fixes because a family friend suggested it. They worked incredibly fast given all that I had them fix. I asked them to call for estimates on some of the repairs, and they did just that. They didn't try to sell me fixes for any other problems they might have found! They were also incredibly affordable! I would recommend Riethmeyer's Auto Repair to everyone!

    Christal Haskins

  • Extremely good people to work with, knowledgeable mechanics and office staff.

    Charles Schiller

  • Came here because the engine light came on. They fixed the problem for free. Came again for them to fix my driver's side door that made a terrible rattling noise. They fixed it quick and for a good price. Hasn't made noise in months.

    Zack Murray

  • Best auto shop in Austin.

    Cody Bonner

  • llen was ready to jump in his repair truck and help my 89 yr old mother who had a dead battery there in Austin. Was very friendly and helpful. Ended up calling him off before he left due to AAA insurance sending someone. Thanks again Allen!

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don’t forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

Check your owner’s manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car’s engine needs then buy it.

Inspect the engine’s belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.

Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.

Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.

Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.

Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.

Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.

Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle’s tires.

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don’t forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
