    I need my timing belt to be replaced along with the water pump. I was wondering if anyone here can recommend a trustworthy mechanic in the Austin area since the mechanics I trust are in Houston and don't know of any here.

    Thanks in advance :).

    Since I already created this thread, what about a tire shop with good prices that will do a good job replacing my tires (need new ones).

    I've been using accurate auto works. he's very honest and has a loaner car you can use. Its up at howard/I-35 though but worth the drive in my opinion since I trust him.

    What part of town are you in?

    I've taken my vehicle to Stingray automotive (183 @ Anderson Mill) and have been very happy with the service and cost.

    I always liked Groovy Automotive (41st @ Red River) in central Austin, but haven't been there in a long time.

    I don't even remember the last time I had my car serviced in south Austin, so I can't help you there.

    Good luck

    I highly recommend Luu Auto near Lamar and Kramer. They're honest and really good with their work. Their rates are fantastic, too.
