I visited this location on a Wednesday and arrived at 4pm to ask if they had time for a battery replacement. I spoke to Fernando and received really friendly service. I was surprised given the low ratings here, but I understand many people only write reviews to give low ratings.

So I was told there were two people ahead of me and it would be a 2 hour wait. The check in process was seamless and they sent me a text saying my vehicle was checked in. They sent me another text 10 minutes later to notify me the service has been started. I did my grocery shopping and the service was finished within 1 hour. I was pleasantly surprised how quick it was (mostly because of coming in with low expectations) and I checked out quickly as well. Really appreciate the friendly and seamless service provided by Fernando.

I did try calling the auto care center multiple times to try and get an appointment but never got through. This was the case for multiple Walmart auto care centers around Austin as well. So this was the only frustrating part. I ended up just showing up, I think it is first come-first serve for battery replacements anyway.

Also there is a small waiting room you can sit in while you wait.

Hillside farmacy has great brunch and evening environments. It used to be a pharmacy back in the 1950s, and was restored as a restaurant. It still has some decor as a hint to its past. I dined here for dinner on a Saturday evening and it was a really popular time. There is street parking on the roads nearby and a small parking lot.
