Alex

18 years of experience
Austin, TX

I've been a professional automotive technician since 2006, but worked on cars as a hobby for many years before that. My knowledge and professionalism helped me earn the titles of shop foreman and lead mechanic at several independent shops. I'm experienced with all kinds of cars but specialize in Domestic vehicles. Whether it's for a daily driver or high-performance race car, I'm ready to demonstrate my diagnostic and repair skills to my customers.

Alex is currently not taking new appointments.

We had a little hiccup with appointment time, but once we met Alex was very thorough and easy to work with. I would definitely hire him again.

Alex was extremely professional, easy to work with and took a relatively complex job, broke it down step by step so I knew what he was doing and was precisely correct with his time. Will 100% use Alex again.

He was great. Was able to work around my schedule and fix my car while at work.

Alex was very professional. He arrived at the apartment complex on time and was quick in installing my replacement exhaust manifold. He also took the time to inspect my car and point out some maintenance suggestions, i.e. brake fluid and engine oil. Of course, there was no upselling or pressure to pay for more than what was requested. I will definitely do business with Alex again!

New rear brake pads installed - Alex as early (after calling to confirm it was okay) and quickly installed the pads with no fuss. He reported on what else he'd seen and actually cleaned some gunk off of one of my tires. I've run now about 30 miles on the new pads and all is well. Just what I needed - fast and efficient, no fuss and not having to drive to/from a shop and waiting. Great stuff.

Alex gave me a courtesy call since he had finished early, he texted, then called. Alex knows his job and showed me the problem too. Alex is AWESOME and YES I will use his services again next month. The company itself is a 10+ in my book . Thanks

Alex is a very nice and polite young man. He had a cancellation today so he called me to see if he could come over earlier. He told me what time he would get here and was right on time. He was neat and finished in record time. Thank you!

Ever since my dad died in 2007 (he was an ASE master mechanic), I have been skeptical of who works on my vehicles. Well, I decided to give yourmechanic a try and couldn't be happier. They sent Alex Whitelaw to change my differential fluid and put on a new differential gasket and cover. Within the first 10 minutes of talking to him I could tell he was very knowledgeable as a mechanic and I watched how he took pride in what he was doing as well as he took the time to explain everything and why. I was so happy with my experience I booked an appt to have my spark plugs replaced in my 2004 F150 a month later. Just google it, it's not an easy task as they have a tendency of breaking. Alex came out on Monday and soaked the plugs with solution and came out the next day and was able to get all out but 1 from breaking off. Once the one that had broken off was completely out (done on the sameday he was here), you could see the rust and build up on it, so that explains why. Again, Google it...Well, my truck is running like a top and I couldn't be happier. I'm glad I found a mechanic that I trust and plan on having him continue to do any future maintenance to mine as well as my wife’s car. Do yourself a favor and try yourmechanic and be sure to ask for Alex Whitelaw. He brings his knowledge and skills to you, in which you can't beat!

I'm so impressed! Alex makes a normally frustrating experience less so and with confidence.

This guy is the real deal. He knows his trade and will be honest and straight with you regarding your vehicle. Changed my oil fast, did a solid inspection on it and let me know some things to keep an eye on. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know, and relay the message that he is an honest and affordable mechanic. Keep turning that honest wrench Grease Monkey!!

Great job by Alex and easy experience. Very convenient. He was quick, in time and communicated with.me about my car. Much better than the repair shop.

Listened to my problem and spoke plainly about what could be going wrong and what would fix the issue(s). Did not try to confuse me or talk over my head--was just a regular guy providing a service.
