Been a customer for YEARS. Nobody is better at what they do, while being honest at the same time. Highly recommend.

-Tom L.
We've brought our vehicles to Jerry Dixon Automotive for years. They treat us like Family. They fix what's broken and give you heads up of other possible items. They've worked with us to get our vehicles repaired. As long as they're open and our vehicles aren't under warranty, this is the place. Thanks Jerry Dixon Automotive.

-Daniel H.
This place is absolutely the best!

-Elizabeth C.
Honesty is the most important thing about a Auto Repair Shop, besides expertise I have had experience with hundreds of places through my 40+ years and you can't find a place so honest! They have saved me and many others thousands of dollars in unnecessary repairs.

-Taylor H.
Jerry and his crew are THE BEST! True car nuts who can handle anything from routine maintenance, to collision repair, to complete classic car restorations. They're honest, frugal with the customer's money, they get it done right the first time. They're just really pleasant to deal with. They've saved me lots of money on a Dodge truck and an Acura, and have done the same for other folks I know who've taken both Japanese and domestic cars there.

-John R.
Mr. Jerry Dixon and his team are truly one-of-a-kind! They are knowledgeable; recognized and respected in Austin (several auto shops around town send customers to Mr. Dixon because they know he's honestly the best at what he does); honest and genuine (I've had Mr. Dixon and Mr. Tommy both ride in my car with me on more than one occasion to hear the sound my car was making so I didn't have to imitate it and make an ass of myself; reliable (they replaced my compressor about 5 months ago at the best price possible & didn't screw me around). I replaced my battery a few months ago (after new compressor was put in), and the computer stopped "talking" to the compressor recently, so it needed to be reset. They figured that out and fixed it at no charge in about an hour today - despite the fact that they are short-handed and have a ton of cars they are working on right now. They are old-school in every way and very consistent about taking good care of their customers.

-Diana S.
My mother and I have always used Jerry and have never been done wrong! Since I've moved away I still have trust issues with other mechanics.

-Donovan M.
hese guys are simply the best! They are the most decent, honest and reliable guys I've ever dealt with. We've done business with them for over 2 decades, and I'll never take my vehicles anywhere else. Thanks Jerry and crew!

-Oscar E.
I have brought all my vehicles to Jerry for YEARS. Everything from a 40 foot diesel motor home to a Jeep. ALWAYS got the best of service. Everything got repaired right the first time. But, honesty is Dixon Automotive's biggest selling point. They charge a fair price for their repair work; you never have the feeling that you've been "taken to the cleaners." Even though Jerry has passed on, those same attributes continue with the Dixons, Kay, Kelly, and Aaron.

-Thomas L.
For years, your repair shop has been our go-to place when in need of car repair and maintenance. Your crew has always provided excellent service and honest pricing. Affordable rates, quality work, and timely repairs are just few things that make me choose your repair facility time and again.

tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
