Customer Reviews for Frieze Automotive

“This place is top notch. From the front desk to the one on one you receive from owner. Earned my trust.”

“I have been taking my cars to Frieze for a couple of years now. They have always been fair and upfront with me on all recommendations. And the owner has always been very honest when I ask him for alternatives. As a previous 1 star review pointed out, they do make an occasional diagnostic mistake, but they have always owned up to is as soon as it is discovered. Their prices are better than most shops I have checked out in the area. And the quality of work and turn around times have always been exceptional. All in all, I would highly recommend Frieze for anyone needing repair services in the Leander area.”

“They were VERY helpful in getting my car a back to me before the weekend. Single mom out here with not any family, my car is so important. I appreciate the extra mile they took to get my starter replaced. Between the mechanic and the front office lady -- very good experience all the way around. They've helped me in the past as well - affordable (even though a starter is generally expensive) I know they gave the best price around. 100 Stars.”

“Recommended to me for A/C repair. Friendly to work with, in my case they even worked late and let me pick up the car the same day. Totally unexpected and complete appreciated. I'll be bringing all my vehicles to them from now on even though I live in South Austin.”

“Very honest, and half the price of the dealership. Thank you!”

“What can you say about a guy that is usually the only mechanic in the shop? He is always busier than a 3 legged cat at the dog races. Gregg is very fair in his prices and only uses high end parts. We have used him for several years and only had to go back twice, once was my fault, should have done both cats at one time and the other one was one of his, no longer there, helpers did not tighten the emergency break cable properly and that created an issue. Gregg ended up doing a complete break job for no charge. We even had him replace the motor in a 2004 Monte, yes Mr. Chevy 5.7, it really was bad, and he was less expensive and even went with a 2005 Malibu motor with 20k fewer miles . . .Sadly some guy on his cell phone in a beamer knocked the front end off of it.”

“I have found the best mechanic in Leander! Took my truck to get fixed the owner was professional and gave me a great price. I highly recommend if you need a mechanic!”

“Frieze is the best! Single mom, without a car is VERY difficult. They did not delay troubleshooting the issue on my Honda Element. Ended up being something simple (was afraid it was the Fuel Pump which you know is a major repair cost).. They are very kind, gracious, and affordable. 100 Stars. Someone I can TRUST.”

“Very honest shop. We got an alignment here today. It was quick and they did not try to over sale us on anything. That felt gteat. We also met the owner. He is very professional and trustworthy. We will be back!!”

“first time I came to Frieze automotive and quoted me a better price for wheel aligntment than other places, there was no waiting time and saw them work on my car like pros.”

“Great service very fair and honest. Did take a couple days before they saw my truck once they did figure it out quickly and did not overcharge me”

“I took my car to Gregg Frieze for a special A/C procedure that he does with regularity (Cryo-Chem). One thing that I liked about Gregg, is that he is willing to communicate over email, which works great for me as I am always on the road and am very busy at work. I brought my car to him and everything was done as promised and on-time. I am very happy with the work thus far. I would not hesitate to recommend or go back to there again - they seemed very fair and were good communicators.

-- Update --

In a last ditch effort to save my AC on my Mercedes Benz, we tried this special product for which Greg installs. It is warrantied for one year. When it failed nearly at the end of the 1 year warranty, Greg took care of calling the company, getting me another kit, and put it in for free. Greg is very honest, and wants you to feel good about the work he performs. If I didn't live in south Austin, I would bring all my vehicles to him for service. I think very highly of him.”

“Awesome service. The front desk person was real nice. The mechanic solved the problems on our spectra. Definitely going back.”

“Greg Frieze is a honest guy. I recommend him to anyone.”

“Have taken both our cars to Frieze. On my Infiniti we had gotten a REALLY expensive estimate from another place for a potential issue. I went to Greg based on yelp reviews. He fixed all the issues and determined the expensive issue really was a much less expensive fix. Car is running smoothly now.

Hubby's Jeep left me stranded a few days ago. Had it towed to Greg, he pinpointed the issue which was what we thought it was and got it all taken care of and worked hard so I could turn in the rental I was driving. I did have to take it back the next day because the radiator cap wasn't on tight so it leaked fluid but the team checked all the seals and put a new radiator cap on.”

“This is the first time I went to Frieze Automotive. My truck is 12 years old and has never needed any type of mechanical work except for the normal wear and tear issues (plugs, belts, battery, etc). I was not sure what the problem was, but my truck's engine was running very poorly and I was concerned it might be a cracked or warped head.

For $42.00, Gregg performed a diagnotistic and determined the issue was an idle air control valve, the O2 sensors and the truck needed new plugs. There were some issues with the truck losing coolant and Gregg was able to determine my radiator cap was failing to hold adequate pressure. Needless to say these are relatively inexpensive issues and I had Gregg repair them along with a radiator flush and top and bottom hose replacements. The radiator has never been flushed and the hoses were from the factory.

He was able to get to my truck quickly and it appears to be running very smoothly. The only issue is that my check enging light came on later in the day. The OBD II reader indicated that the 3rd cylinder is misfiring. I have contacted Gregg about the issue and I am confident Gregg will be able to resolve the problem. I will update this review after Gregg has addressed this issue. I gave him four stars for this review. It would have been five if the check engine light had not come on. Stay tuned for the update.

UPDATE: I brought my truck back in and Gregg looked at it. He made a few adjustments and my check enging light was fixed at no additional charge. I have not had any further issues. Gregg did a fantastic job and i recommend him highly.”

“The people at frieze were great they had my car fixed in the time frame that i asked for they were about 30% percent cheaper than the 4 other quotes i got and when i got my car back it wasn't caked in grease (on the edges of the hood and steering wheel ) like the last place i got it serviced i would definetly recommend them to anyone who asked!”

“What a great local mechanic...I had a confusing problem with my truck...he was able to figure it out and fix it in one day...and he's affordable. I recommend him!!!”
