Ben's does great work but you pay quite a bit extra due to their 5th street location. I use Abdu's European Auto Repair. 512-879-8787. Although Abdu's hourly rate is the same as Ben's, I find that Abdu usually bills me for far less time than Ben's.

There is one trade-off. Abdu can be a bit hard to understand due to his accent where Ben is great at explaining to you what's going on with your car. Meanwhile Abdu fixed an AC problem for $800 that Ben estimated would run nearly three times that.

If Abdu doesn't do machine work in-house, I'm sure he can recommend someone.
