    They have moved their location to 951 E. Bitters rd. #401 78216 they are behind the sonic.
    Also i just realized the phone # they have is wrong the one on their business card says (210)545-1777
    This is the best shop I have ever been to. They are very helpfull they will give you a ride to where ever you need to go (i.e. to work or home) if you are dropping off the car they do all makes and models now. No one is on commission so the quality of work is great they are always busy so you need to have an appointment. They will also look at the whole car even when you are bringing it in just for an oil change. I was bringing my car in and they told me I had small cracks in my belt but that I didn't need to replace them just yet and they kept checking them every oil change until I needed it they will tell you if something needs to be done and if you can get away with waiting a while to have the work done when you can afford it. Overall the best shop I have ever been to. They use factory parts but cost less than the dealerships plus they save you the head ache of going through the dealership because those guys are all on commission so they make more money if there are more "problems" they "find". Any how I think this shop is the best they are all very trustworthy and for me being a female I notice that most shops think they can pull the wool over my eyes because I can't possibly know anything about cars being woman and all. I have also called this shop and talked to them when I am out of town and need work done to make sure the shop I am dealing with is doing the right work, because the dealer alternative keeps records of what your cars condition was they can tell you no you don't need that done and you can tell them why you brought it into the other shop (noise or what not). I hope this is helpful to you all.
