I gotta give it to Tim & Gabe their customer service beats all customer service industries combined. They are some of the most professional people I’ve ever come across. Thank you both Tim, Gabe and staff for taking care of my car today! I greatly appreciate all of you.

This is the best shop in SA. Staff is always super generous and transparent. They appreciate guest re visits and offer advice on upcoming things to look out for. They dont do tires/brakes but they are fast, furious, and always go above and beyond for car repairs. Customer for life

I was recommended by a friend. I coordinated with Tim and it all worked out well. They didnt try to push me into expensive repairs that I didnt need and actually advised me on some things they say that I could do myself. I will probably be back for any repairs outside my abilities.

Friendly knowledgeable staff but premium prices on ANYTHING they do. If you have the cash and want it done by experts then go for it but if not best go someplace else.

Without a doubt the absolute best mechanics in San Antonio. Honest, knowledgeable, friendly, highly skilled and did I mention honest, I really cant say enough good things about this shop and the people who run it.I personally have been a customer for around 10 years and they have never done me wrong or started work without approval or any of the dirty tricks bad shops pull. They fix it right and make it right if there is any problems. Thank you guys for being you

Gabe & his team is the best in San Antonio. Most honest people I know. They’ve done work on all of my company vehicles plus personal vehicles . Never had a hidden charge or a “you need this or that “ scenario. Highly recommended. I give these guys 10 stars. Quit wasting time and money with other mechanics and save yourself sometime and comeHer. The best part is they’re usually quick and thorough!

I have been going to Busted Knuckle for years and do business with them exclusively, as they are the rarity known as a bunch of honest Joes. They have always given me only the services necessary at fair prices and do meticulous work. If youre sick and tired of getting screwed over by stealerships, then come here to experience some old school customer service.

Great service and great stay. Called to get my husbands truck running good for a trip. Person on the phone said bring it in to check it out. Husband had a list of concerns as its an older truck. The guys looked at it and said truck was great charged us for labor and a few minor fixes. This makes me feel good to know that they are honest hard workers.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. I have been to the Busted Knuckle many times for repairs ect. The owner Tim was great . Gabe was extremely professional with all the specifics . Even the mechanics that worked on my car came and made sure everything was going well with car after the great job they did . I can’t say enough good things about his shop. If you are tired of Other shops taking advantage of you, this is THE place to go . Thank you guys for treating me with respect and kindness. I see why y’all are so busy all the time . Proof is in the great and professional work ethic.

Great auto repair shop! Gabe and Tim were fantastic to work with, and even when there was a hiccup with one of the repairs, Busted Knuckle did what was in my best interest and not theirs. They took care of the hiccup and my 20 year old Jeep has been running great since! Highly recommend!

Absolutely phenomenal service and honest pricing, finding a good mechanic is always stressful, especially when moving to an area where you dont know anybody. I was recommended to them by someone at Discount Tire nearby. While waiting for my car to be fixed as it was just a quick job, I witnessed a multitude of their clients come in and it was like they were all family, everyone was happy with the prices, work being done and the staff at the counter. Overall very satisfied and was left with a great impression. If I need work done that is outside my vehicles warrenty(my warrenty unfortunatelyis specific to dealerships of my vehicles manufacturer), I will definitely be coming back.

These guys are amazing!!!!! I had been using Kens Goodyear on Austin Hwy because it is close to my house but they are pretty shady guys (NEVER use them if you like your money)... so I googled mechanics and came across The Busted Knuckle. After reading all of their reviews I decided to take my car to them. They fixed the brakes, replaced the shocks and recommended that I replace my catalytic converter at some point in the future. All at a reasonable price. So - yesterday I walked out of the grocery store and saw a puddle of anti-freeze under my drivers side front tire - fearing the worst I took it across the street to the Goodyear - they told me my radiator was cracked and it would cost me around 400-500 dollars. I didnt believe them so I said I would think about it - I called Gabe - he said if it actually was the radiator that they could do it for around 300. Today I took my car to Gabe and guess what??? The radiator was fine - it was a hose with a leak. They replaced the hose and had me back on the road in no time - and saved me a lot of money in the process. Trust me - you can trust these guys!! Best mechanics in San Antonio as far as Im concerned!!!

I came here when discount tire referred me to get an alignment done. This was the first time being here. For the longest time, Ive been looking for a great auto shop to take my SUV to, (being a 10 year old vehicle with over 150,000 miles on it) and gives reasonable estimates. These guys not only thoroughly checked everything, they actually explain and showed the damaged part that was replaced. For a person that has slim to none knowledge about cars, they took their time with me. I am very impressed with them and love them now. I finally found my auto shop!! My SUV drives now like when I first bought it!!!! I havent felt this way in such a long time!! (10 years!!!!!!) Told my family how happy I am and now my dad will be taking his SUV to them!! You wont regret taking your vehicle to them!!

Tim and the guys do solid work. I will only go to them for oil changes because they do a good job and had a much better price than Jiffy Lube and company. In general I will only get my car repaired with them. I live far away but it is worth the drive

Worked with this place for my Pathfinder after a friend recommended it to me. Gabe works up front and was professional and fast. Unfortunately I had some significant expenses on my car, but after checking with two friends who are mechanics, it was a really fair price he gave me. Called me to let me know when it was available.I pick up the car the next week and Gabe has had it washed, tightened the steering wheel, and fixed a few other small iotas free of charge. He showed me the bill, and even lowered it a bit on the basis of wanting to take care of us.I had another incident a few days later and Gabe helped me out again.Highly recommend this place, it’s local, friendly, and trustworthy.

I read the reviews and decided to check this place out. First off dont let the appearance of the place fool you these guys are good mechanics. I needed a new wheel bearing and hub assembly for my suv and the dealership was trying rob the hell out of me so I came here and Gabe got the part I wanted and finished the job in no time. I recommend this place if your in need of a mechanic.

I have taken my vehicle several times to the Busted Knuckle, they have always been prompt to service and help any way they can. They are honest people as I have known these guys for years. My father was a mechanic for years and I advised him if he ever needed anything to make sure to call these guys, they are fair in price and again, honest. Which we all know in this industry is a hard commodity to find. I have and will continue to refer their services to anyone needing service on their vehicle(s).

Review №47

Found this place while looking around the internet for a good auto repair shop. I liked what the reviewers were saying about this place. I was mainly looking for honest and good. This was both, I went in to have my bearings replaced, was told the bearings were fine and it was another problem. They could have easily told me the bearings were bad and also the other problem. I would have been none the wiser. I rarely good to auto repair shops as all my experiences have been bad. I am needing to have my car serviced again and will definitely be going back here again. I recommend this shop to anyone asking about a good and honest repair shop. Thanks for the great service. Jesse.

Honest people are few and far between, especially when dealing when a company. The employees at The Busted Knuckle, however, are one of the few honest ones. My truck began giving me issues a couple weeks back, so I googled some mechanics close by, and decided on The Busted Knuckled, due to all the great reviews. I explained to Gabe the issues that I was having, and anticipated paying quite a bit of money. The next day Gabe calls me up, saying I just needed some grease! Although, it might not seem like a big deal to some, but he could have easily said it was the suspension, axle, or any other costly repair, just to make some money. My grand total was $30, which included him finding the source of the noise my truck was making, and tightening down those bolts, which he didnt charge me for. Overall, The Busted Knuckle is a gem, and I highly recommend it to all!

Review №49

The guys were more than willing to talk me through everything and make sure that I was happy. Even after I misdiagnosed my own issue, they called me up to let me know it was another part that needed to be replaced and it would be saving me money. These guys are the best mechanics in San Antonio and I would not take my vehicles anywhere else.

As an out of towner reviews are essential when something goes wrong. I Googled (the name definitely caught my attention...All good mechanics & their families know how that happens) and read the reviews. I called and talked to Gabe and he told me to bring in my truck that day. I did they checked it out for FREE and told me that while the noise could be annoying it wasnt affecting the performance. Tim talked to me straight forward about what could be done, how much it would cost, and how long my truck would work without the work being done.After a week the noises were more than I could bare & called Gabe again. He got my truck right in the shop and the parts were there within the hour. He estimated the labor would take approximately 5 hours and he was right on the money.The price was more than reasonable. Weve had experiences with shops all over the country and by far is The Busted Knuckle the best priced, best timely manor, and just all around good guys.I intend to only use this place while Im in town.

Our family (incl my dad & brother) have taken all our cars to them since 2010. Gabe and Tim are super nice. They never tell you to replace something if its absolutely not necessary. And their prices are always fair, he gives you a break when he can. I am telling you all this just after completing two major services on both our cars and having spent close to 1.5-2k (including timing belt, water pump, drive belt, struts, all fluid changes between two cars)We trust them completely. Will continue to fix our cars with them as long as we can. Thanks for service.

These guys are very reliable and trustworthy!!! I received a recommendation from a mechanic in San Marcos, he raves about this shop and I now know why.... initially i went to Mercedes Benz for a Check engine light and after a $5400 Invoice I thought Mercedes is crazy. I took the paperwork and my Mercedes to Busted Knuckle and couldn’t be more satisfied, period!!! They determined it didn’t need all the unnecessary recommendations, bottom line..... they saves me over $1300 dollars on what’s was Over $ 2000.00 cost at MB....they delivered exactly as they promised.Save yourself all the headaches and just get to these guys first.Thanks to the group at Busted KnuckleGregory Boaz

My first experience was over a year ago when my car stop a light ahead. Auto zone preferred them to me (i was just worried about getting my car fix so i trusted their recommendation). I call them the send a tow truck i paid 60 yes 60 for the man to take me threw one light in turn down a street. I didnt complain,so than i told them what was going on with the car they automatically assume it was my starter theyprofessionals right to i went ahead in brought the part come to find out it wasnt my starter the open up the brand new one in damage it,when i went to autozone the man wouldnt give my money back because it was a use product i was likenaw it cant be they said they didnt use it long story short they did in lied i had to raise hell to get my money back from autozone in the problem was simple that they charge an arm in leg forSecond experienceI came back after much hesitation because of the reviews on herein fb im thinkin hey ima give them another chance others had good compliments to say about them... Anyway my car was shaking the man told me actually the owner that it may be this or that in to comeback when it shake again ok fine. Couple days later It was barely 4 when i call to inform him i am coming to get my car look it you im the one who car is shaking off/on this man going tell me its to late they are about to close really at 4? How unprofessional you missing out on money!! let me say this the people who on their Facebook in here are people who are probably close to them so thats why the give them good reviews this was the reason i went the 1st in 2rd time because of people reviews they probably do a good job with others but this is my experience i will never go back to them again.
