Salazar urged to not delay upcoming OCS lease sale
Fifteen US House Republicans asked US Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in a Mar. 5 letter not to delay a Gulf of Mexico oil and gas lease sale that is scheduled for Mar. 18. "Later this month, the Department of the Interior will conduct a lease sale in what is believed to be one of America's best untapped areas, the 181 South Area of the Gulf of Mexico," said Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), ranking minority member of the House Natural Resources Committee. "Today, I lead a number of my colleagues in sending a letter to Secretary Salazar stressing the importance of moving forward with this critical lease sale." In his opening statement at a Mar. 5 hearing by the committee's Energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee on energy outlooks and the role of federal onshore and offshore resources in meeting future energy demand, Hastings said that Salazar's Feb. 4 cancellation of successful leases from a December lease sale in Utah, his Feb. 10 announcement that he would delay development of a 5-year Outer Continental Shelf plan begun last summer, and his Feb. 25 withdrawal of a Jan. 14 oil shale lease solicitation "show a clear trend against oil and gas development and job creation." Hastings said, "My colleagues and I are concerned that should the department act to delay [Lease Sale 208], it will further establish a dangerous trend of blocking new American-made energy and the creation of new American jobs. Additionally, a delay of this sale would throw obstacles in the way of providing American oil and gas that the [US] Energy Information Administration says the nation will need well past 2030 and also discourage energy companies from pursuing new opportunities in our country," Hastings maintained. The letter, which also was signed by Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), the ranking minority member of the subcommittee, and 13 other House Republicans, said that the sale "may bring in billions of dollars to the US Treasury, open an entirely new frontier of the Gulf for oil development, and save and create thousands of jobs." Revenue from this initial leasing in the gulf's 181 South Area will be shared with Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, thereby helping the states deal with the current economic downturn, it continued. The US Minerals Management Service's own estimates say that this lease sale could result in production of 800 million to 1.3 billion bbl of oil and 3.3-5.4 tcf of natural gas, "resources that are critically needed by American consumers and which will help us offset our future energy needs," the letter said. Not proceeding with this lease sale on schedule could threaten not only future leasing in that part of the gulf but also the entire OCS program, it warned. "Preparation for a lease sale as large as [Sale 208] requires a massive commitment of human and financial capital by dozens of companies. If these companies no longer trust that the government will hold the lease sales that it announces, many will no longer bid or they will reduce their bids, resulting in lower government receipts and less energy produced," the 15 House Republicans told Salazar in their letter.

SEATTLE — Catcher A.J. Pierzynski said he was more nervous Saturday than he was during any juncture during the White Sox's 2005 World Series.
"There's no buildup for this," Pierzynski said after retrieving Humber's sharp slider and throwing to first base for the final out in Humber's 4-0 perfect game. "It just happens. You want it so bad for the guy on the mound and you want him to have that achievement forever and want him to be remembered."
Humber gave plenty of credit to Pierzynski for his pitch selection, but there were other key plays that made Humber's final strikeout of Brendan Ryan and Pierzynski's subsequent throw meaningful.
With one out in the fourth, Dustin Ackley hit a deep drive to right that forced Alex Rios to sprint back and make a catch above his shoulder.
"This is the biggest rush I've had in baseball in my career," said Rios, who had no inkling that play would lead to a perfect game. "I was a little nervous at the end of the game, but it was worth it."
Rios said he and several of his teammates were extremely motivated for Humber to get his perfect game, and a defensive move by manager Robin Ventura before the bottom of the eighth inning paid off.
Ventura inserted Brent Lillibridge in left field to replace Dayan Viciedo, who is in his first year in left. With one out in the eighth, Kyle Seager hit a line drive down the left-field line, and Lillibridge, who is much quicker than Viciedo, made the catch.
"It ran through my mind that I would take a chance on any ball," Lillibridge said. "First of all, be very aggressive. You're not going to let one (fall). Try to break hard on it. I moved over with two strikes to play the fade, so I was in good position to be able to make the catch.
"When you come in there as a defensive replacement in a game like that, you're thinking 'don't be that guy.' So I was glad I wasn't that guy. It was so awesome. Phil deserves it. That's what baseball is all about right there."
Pierzynski had two things on his mind after home plate umpire Paul Runge ruled that Ryan swung and missed at Humber's 3-2 slider with two out in the ninth that skipped away from him.
"Get the ball and get it to first base as fast as possible," Pierzynski told himself. "Because if I screw it up, I'm going to be a goat forever."

Recommendations for tree watering during drought conditions
DES MOINES– As drought conditions continue, Iowans are concerned about the amount of water their yard trees need. Drought conditions can lead to tree decline, pest problems and, in extreme cases, tree mortality. Supplemental watering for mature trees will help maintain tree health during drought.
The best way to provide supplemental water to trees during a drought is manually. A bucket to measure how many gallons is best, but a garden hose, moved often, can provide a good soil soaking. Sprinklers are less efficient.
Water the soil surface within and just beyond the canopy, one gallon of water per square foot. For newly planted trees, apply water directly over the root ball.
Water trees at night or in the early morning. This is when trees will be able to receive the most water with less evaporation.
Water one to three times a week, based on temperature and soil type, if there is no rainfall in that week. One or two deep and heavy watering times are much better than many light, shallow watering times.
Trees that have been in the ground for less than five years should have priority over older trees. Smaller trees need about one inch of rain a week. That is equivalent to about 10 gallons of water.

Timely back-ups of your important files is a must! One of the free methods to make backups is to use online solutions that offers free file storage.
Yes, there are popular file hosting services like Rapidshare, mediafire and so on, but they never guarantee privacy as the files are open to public. Addition to that, the upload/storage limit is relatively lesser!
So, which are the best file storage solutions offering huge capacity (GB's) of online Storage?
I've found 2 websites that offers free storage for files. The first one: Skydrive, from hotmail. Skydrive offers a decent 25 GB storage space with windows live, for free.
With Skydrive, it's easier to upload and store files online and files can be password protected. You need a windows live ID to sign into Skydrive and make use of the 25GB storage space.
The second one, offering 30 GB storage space, is Glideos. Glide OS offers free and premium storage solution, you can opt for free storage that offers 30GB storage with an intuitive interface and panel.
You will have a unique Glide os account where you can store the files and download them anytime. Call this your own virtual computer on the web – Check out Glideos.
Few more websites that offers online storage space has been listed here. Go through it if you haven't.

Today, JavaScript is a critical skill for developers. And although it's still easy to get acquainted with, it isn't trivial to master its more powerful present incarnation.
JavaScript And ECMA-262
So what's all the fuss about?
As you will see, confusion about JavaScript goes deeper than the name.
The JavaScript Dialect
A programming language's dialect is subordinate to its standard language. This subordination produces slight differences (mostly extensions) to the standard. For example, JScript offers some additional commands to support access to ActiveX objects and the local computer. This support isn't in the ECMA-262 standard but is supported if you use the dialect. The same can be said for ActionScript.
So what about the JavaScript dialect? It's a sort of sub-standard managed by Mozilla. JavaScript standard follows its own versioning, which indicates which edition of the ECMA standard is being targeted. JavaScript, JScript, ActionScript, and other permutations rely largely on the same standard and can be considered the same.
In 2002, Microsoft shipped the first version of the .NET Framework and included an ad hoc compiler for an adapted version of JScript called JScript.NET. It's safe to say that JScript.NET never conquered the masses: There's no tooling for it today, not even in Visual Studio.
We've seen this pattern too many times to consider it a mere coincidence: Microsoft will produce a great idea but a not-so-great first-time implementation of that idea. Using a Web-friendly language to develop applications for the new .NET Framework was an excellent idea. However, it was challenging to target much more than just the elements in the host document. As a result, Microsoft came up with a managed language that provided direct access to the .NET Framework classes. This allowed use of the syntax of JScript to author, say, Windows Forms applications however, using the Web paradigm centered on HTML and CSS to build the same Windows Forms application was out of question.
With Windows 8's release, Microsoft is now making JavaScript a first-class platform for building applications: It wisely decided to allow for the classic Web paradigm. Developers use HTML5 to build layout, CSS3 to style it, and quick-and-dirty JavaScript (or, more precisely, ECMA-based script) to manipulate page elements. Developers also have access to a variety of system-provided libraries that offer UI widgets and tools to access Windows 8-specific capabilities, such as live tiles. Microsoft's full embrace of JavaScript in Windows 8 is indeed quite late, but it's most certainly quite welcome.
Dino Esposito is a frequent Dr.Dobb's contributor on Microsoft developer technologies.

Do you want a LLOOGG invitation? Ask us
Hi everybody, for a while we weren't having fresh invitations to test new services. In the last days I got five invites for LLOOGG.
If you are asking yourself what the hell is that double lettered service I think that I couldn't have found a better way to describe it than the way its authors did: your web2.0 tail -f access.log.
Nothing simpler than a page where you can find live who's reading your pages, what pages and where did he come from. Looking at your visitors coming to your last post minutes after you wrote it could be a pretty thing.
Although the main aspect of lloogg is that allows you to see what's going on live on your pages it provides you simple charts of records of past days visits. By sure it is not as detailed as Google Analytics, but do you really need all that data for a personal blog?
More useful the data about Top referrers (Come on, link us! :-D) Top search (Sometimes it could be funny) Top pages (Don't you want to know what is your most read post?) and of course Browser war.
If you want an invite as usual, post a comment. And be quick since I have only 5 invites to share!

Bearden is the best quality work you can have done on your Toyota/Lexus for 50 miles, easy. If you're in the greater Austin area and in need of maintenance or repairs, this is where you should find yourself.
I know my repairs are well taken care of with these guys.
Very knowledgeable and honest. I have been going there for years! Recently did oil change w contactless delivery. Worked very well.
Josh is very easy to deal with and an all around good guy. They work on all models of Toyota/Lexus vehicles. Today there were four Land Cruisers there! When was the last time you saw four Land Cruisers at the same shop at the same time? When it comes down to it the question with any business is, Do I trust these guys? Yes! I trust these guys to maintain my vehicles.
We recently moved back to Austin and needed a shop almost immediately. We found that Bearden had some of the best reviews out there so we chose to give them our business and boy are we glad! Josh and everyone at Bearden were extremely easy and pleasant to work with, had a very transparent process and they took care of us in very quick time. If you're looking for an honest, professional shop that'll get the work done right, look no further! Thanks y'all!
Only fixed what was needed. Didn't add on stuff like other places I've been to
Josh and the guys at Bearden are great - I will always bring my Lexus here, they can help with any type of service and general troubleshooting. I've never felt over charged and am often pleasantly surprised. I really like that they will give you a ride to where you need to be when you bring your car in.
I look for three things in a mechanic...honesty...fairness...and excellent work...these guys are the trifecta and I honestly can't say enough good things about them...Id recommend them to anyone that owns a vehicle...do yourself a favor and deal with these guys as much as possible...good folks here...
Takes excellent care of my car when needed. Great staff and service.
Worked with them for 20+ years. The only place I'll take my cars! If you're taking your car to the dealership, you're paying way too much! These guys are all Toyota/Lexus certified, and their work is excellent!
Good people. Great service. Took care of my truck.
These guys do great work on your Toyota or Lexus.
A couple weeks ago, my 2007 Toyota Prius needed a 12v battery replacement. It was the first replacement I needed for it since I bought the car in the middle of '08 and I have about 125k miles on it. Even though Batteries Plus said they would do it, when they took a look at what would have to be done in the trunk to replace the battery, they immediately changed their minds. Frustrated, I went to Bearden who I have worked with for years, and they knocked it out in under two hours at a great price. Today I took it in to see about getting the parking brake line looked at to pass state inspection, and they were able to diagnose and adjust the cable in the morning and I picked it up in the afternoon without a problem, and as always, very affordable. These guys are so good at what they do, I told them if I lived outside of Texas and I was able to drive my car into their shop to have anything worked on it, I absolutely would. In fact, they're so amazing, I'm having a difficult time considering upgrading my car to something other than a Toyota or Lexus! When it comes to being professional, friendly, timely, and affordable, there is nobody else on the planet I can think of to take my car. Could I have taken my car to a shop closer to my home? Absolutely. Should I? Never. Not a chain repair shop, not another mom and pop shop, not even a certified dealership comes anywhere close to how incredible these guys are. I have no doubt in my mind my car would make it to a million miles with their help, and I just might see if I can make that happen. Thank you Josh and crew at Bearden! You have a customer for many more years and I'll be sure to send anyone who owns a Toyota and/or Lexus your way without hesitation!
Excellent experience! The Service Manager, Josh, made the whole process seamless and smooth. The tech knocked out what I thought would be multiple days worth of mechanical problems on my 07' Toyota FJ in only a couple of hours! The estimate was accurate with no surprises and was a fair price considering the problems. I wouldn't bring my Toyota anywhere else in Austin. Thanks!
Reliable, honest, reasonably priced. Can't ask for more
Josh and team are awesome. I had an issue with my starter and Josh helped out a lot through out the whole transaction. They are very honest nice people. I highly recommend this automotive shop
Charles Maund Toyota: "It will take $6,500 to fix your car." Bearden Automotive: "Hold my beer..." Stranded in a Whataburger parking lot, I towed my car to the only place I could think of at the time... Charles Maund. The service manager Angel, was very nice and helpful. They diagnosed my car the same day and came back with a solution to the problem. Or perhaps I should say that they "diagnosed" my car the same day and came back with a "solution" to the "problem". They claimed that battery corrosion ate through at the wires connecting the alternator to the battery. Due how the car was made, the only option was to replace the "complete wiring harness" and it was going to cost $6,500. Needless to say that was a hard pill to swallow. I called another shop and they said they couldn't take on a project that big, and then referred me to Bearden. I called Bearden and I felt much better about the situation within a few minutes of talking to Josh. He said he had no guarantees without seeing the car, but he could likely do it for considerably less. So, I took a risk and I paid to tow my car to them. THANK GOD I DID! Guess what ya'll? They tested the voltage going into that wire and the voltage coming out of that wire, and there was nothing wrong with the wire. So what did they do? They slapped a battery in that sucker and the car came back to life! They continued to test it and even took it for a lengthy stroll, and it runs perfectly! I'm not sure if Charles Maund just thought "oh, she won't bother towing it anywhere else..." or if they actually DO think there was corrosion in the wires. But honestly, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Josh had the opportunity to charge significantly more for the repair. And instead, he simply fixed what was wrong. In an industry that is notorious for taking advantage of unsuspecting people, Bearden is the place you can trust. Bearden will not only be the place we take all of our vehicles, but it will be the only place we recommend to any of our friends. Thanks for being the rockstars we badly needed! We appreciate it more than you know!
I was given a quote for the cost and the time it would take and they delivered on both. It was also quite nice that I did not have to wait there while they serviced my car. Their shuttle took me home and I was able to knock out a few to-do items while they worked on my car. A real treat!!
Excellent service or Toyotas and Lexus. Never tries to add on unnecessary items.
Great service. Friendly staff.
This place was exactly what I was looking for! In my 16 years of auto ownership I'd never had to pay a mechanic for services, always turning the wrenches myself, but the job on my LS460 was well out of my depth and I felt it better left to the pros. Josh and the guys at Bearden are just that, and they were more than happy to accommodate my own parts hunting in order to allow me to keep my costs under control. I found the parts, had them shipped straight to Bearden, and the guys there turned my car around in just a few days time. The bill was exactly as I'd expected it and the car has run phenomenally for the past 5 months/8,000 miles. I can't recommend them enough if you're a Toyota or Lexus driver. They'll be my go-to mechanic for any and all future work that I can't (or don't want to) handle.
Great place. Love the work, customer service and care for the client. Jeff and his team do a great job. Thanks for getting me back on the road in a few hours.
Josh and everyone provided a wonderful experience as always. My vehicle was serviced promptly. I appreciate the ride to and from work so I did not have to stress about finding a ride. Thanks guys!!
The BEST. Honest, knowledgeable, reasonable and friendly. I will always take my Toyota here. I am so grateful I found this place! Each time I take my car to the dealer (occasional recall issues), the dealer makes tons of recommendations for repairs that are not needed. Bearden always steers me right and I have saved a lot of time and money because of their honesty. Thank you!
If you have a Toyota or a Lexus, take it here. The best place in Austin for Toyota's
Great team at Bearden!
Growing business. Owner very involved directly in all aspects to assure quality. Maintenance Special done by appointment. Went smoothly. Consulted on tires. Alerted to mfr. recommended service and status of brakes, tire wear, etc. No complaints. Always enjoy doing business with Jeff. Highly recommend. Been customer for many years. Not cheap, but fair price for top quality, competent, honest service I can trust. 11/9/17.
Great service and the front office was very friendly.
I have a 1995 ES 300 and my plan was to drive it into the ground. As long as Jeff and his entire crew are around, I'm afraid I'll die before the car does. I've been using Bearden for over 15 years. I get a list of what needs to be done now and a list of what's next (when I'm ready). Honesty and Integrity go a long way in my book.
After multiple very impressive experiences with Bearden Automotive, we have added our next car to the fleet they maintain and service for us. Since we are very sensitive to such a trustful relationship, we feel safe that all our cars are in the best hands, from regular maintenance to any service issues. Thanks to other honest reviews we tried out Bearden Automotive a year ago and we will definitely stick to them as long as we live in Austin. Customer service is fantastic, technicians are perfect and very experienced, and prices are very fair as if they would be just family relatives. All too good yet also true.
Lexus CT200h - Best non dealer Lexus/Toyota shop in the country, no kidding. Not to mention a super friendly, down to earth crew. Shout out to Jeff & Josh!
I'm really impressed with these guys, they know their stuff and caught legit maintenance needs on my ride that others had missed while dismissing the needless dealer recommended schedule items. They are ready to go when you come in, finish work on time, do a quality job and the prices are reasonable for the expertise and level of work they perform. If you have a Toyota, Lexus or Scion, this is the place to go when your warranty expires. Nice folks to boot!
The people are friendly and they don't upsell or overcharge.
I came here for an oil change, it was a short wait in which I was greeted professionally and escorted to the lounge. The job was done to extreme satisfaction and in a timely manner. Great job
I've been taking my Lexus to Bearden's for about 16-17 years and they have always done an excellent job. We moved a few years ago and I took my car to someone else but then had to take it to Bearden's to fix what the other car repair shop messed up. I HIGHLY recommend Bearden's for any Lexus or Toyota repair.
2007 Lexus RX350. Found 'em on the web. Were helpful, courteous and informative. My car was ready when promised at the price agreed upon. What more can a guy ask for. Thanks and I'll be back the next time I need anything for this car.
Bearden Automotive has been servicing my Tacoma for 6+ years and I will not take my truck anywhere else. They have always done an amazing job and I've never had any issues or complaints whatsoever. The work is done right the first time (never had to come back) and they really take pride in their work. I wish more shops operated like Bearden. They always call and explain whatever is wrong and let you know decide what work needs to be done with no pressure. There is never any "upselling" or shady BS. They've even shown me a few things I can do personally to AVOID replacing an expensive part. I've dealt with many dishonest auto-repair shops in the past and I am so glad I found Bearden. Just recently, I came in for a check engine light. They initially thought it might have been a leaky valve in the exhaust (~$250) but later discovered it was just the gas cap (~$25). A dishonest business would have tried to screw me out of that extra money but not Bearden! I really trust these guys and everyone is always extremely kind and professional. You will not be disappointed!
Great work as always and I can trust what work is being done on my vehicle being necessary. These guys are certified Toyota mechanics and I feel the work that is performed is being done right. Bearden Automotive provides quick, friendly, professional service.
These guys stand by their work and are a pleasure to work with even during trying situations. I will not go to any other shop.
We had expected a simple disc pad replacement, but teardown revealed severe damage to one rotor. They immediately ordered replacement rotors from WorldPac where I used to work, and where they were my customer. They showed me the damage and I approved the additional repair. Because of their prompt action it only took a short time to do the extra work while I waited. I will continue to use Bearden for any additional work on this second Prius.
Bearden Automotive is the best car repair shop in Austin. I have had Brakes done, wiring harnesses fixed, new starter, broken door handles, an overhaul of the radiator system, a nightmare oil leak, a fuel pump repair and more! I have always liked Toyota and Lexus but cannot stand using the dealership repair shop. Since finding Bearden automotive I will only buy Toyota and Lexus because that is what they repair. If Bearden told me tomorrow they only fix Fords I would sell my Toyota and Lexus and buy a Ford, they are that good and they are my repair shop period. Some news has been good like today all we needed was a new battery, and some has been bad, that oil leak nightmare, but the best part about Bearden is I have never ever felt ripped off. They are not the cheapest but they are the best mechanics I have ever used and they have always been honest and done a good job.
They did a fabulous job with my Land Cruiser. I never had to wait for a response and never felt I was being mistreated. They caught small issues that were missed by others and made sure to discuss them with me before attempting to fix them. Overall, the work and customer service was fabulous.
This was my first visit to Bearden Automotive. Jeff, Josh and the whole staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. They were patient and very good at listening to my problem with my car. Because of my experience I will be back and refer all of friends and relatives to them. They have earned my trust and my business.
Great service! I am typically one to go to the Lexus dealership, but as my 04 and 05 Lexus' get older I decided to take a chance and skip the fancy service and free muffins. Little did I know the team at Bearden really goes above and beyond to take care of your car. There is no upselling and they give great advice on what is truely needed to keep your car running. I plan on going to these guys from now on for any major maintenance issues.
I've been taking my '99 Lexus RX-300 and my Toyota RAV4 here for at least the last 8 years. I'm somewhat of a do-it-yourselfer and these guys are always willing to help me troubleshoot. And I know that when I'm in over my head I can take my vehicles into the shop and they'll provide reliable and honest service.
You wont find a better place or better people in Austin
I've been a long time customer of Bearden and I won't trust my car to anyone else. The work is always done right and the people that work and own the business are friendly and trustworthy.
The only place I'll take my cars
I've been working with Bearden Automotive for about 20 years, and I won't take my car anywhere else. We have to shop for Toyota or Lexus autos because we don't want to change auto mechanics! They are friendly and easy to work with, and the cost is always fair.

I found Bearden 2 years ago. I told them to adopt it and keep it running like it was their own. They are doing a great job.
High Quality service and amazing customer support
Josh is always amazing and ready to help us. We service all of our car with him and don't mind driving from downtown as their work quality separates them from other competitors. Thank you Josh and Bearden Automotive for always giving us A+ service

I have been coming here for 3-4 years based on a friends recommendation. Having a 2008 Lexus, this place is a hidden gem versus Lexus dealer prices. Most importantly, you don't have to endure the constant "up-selling" and "wallet mining" like at a dealer. Made an appt. to "wait for vehicle", was in and out in 50 minutes for synthetic oil change and inspection. If something NEEDS repaired/replaced, they will suggest lower cost alternatives if the Lexus/Toyota parts are cost prohibitive. They have tons of Lexus experience as many are former Lexus/Toyota dealer employees and supervisors. Josh and Jeff are always great, service is top notch. Highly recommend you give them a shot at your business!
We're back!
We had used Bearden many years ago for our Lexus automobiles, but at some point began using the Lexus dealer because when we bought new cars, a great deal of service was included. Recently, our Lexus RX350 had a headlight out and this repair was not going to be covered by any warranty or service agreement. Soo...we returned to Bearden and were not disappointed. The repair was made promptly at a reasonable price (much less than the dealer would have been). Very friendly employees, great service. We will be back.
They were able to schedule appt and resolve problem promptly, very reasonable pricing, courteous staff. First time using, but will return.
Exceptional Service
I've been a long time fan of "dealership only" service for my vehicles. After a recommendation to give Bearden a try, my only regret is I wish I had found them much, much sooner. Top notch in every aspect. As other reviewers have indicated, they diagnose the problem, fix it correctly, all at a fair price. No up selling, no misleading diagnosis. I run my 4 Runner hard. I also take great care to ensure it lasts. I am confident Bearden will be with me on the road and trail for many more miles. Thanks again Josh. You run a solid, honest business sir.

Well done
Seemed like an unusually light Monday. I had an appt. for a maintenance special and asked them to check carefully for potential road trip issues. I was very glad they did because there were a couple of serious problems which they fixed that day. I gave them a deadline, which they worked hard to honor, though their parts place sent them the wrong part, and they had to get that replaced at the last minute. Deadline missed by 10 minutes, but I was able to make it work. Because it was so rushed at the end, they told me to bring it back for a final check and sticker when I could.
Always a positive experience
Bearden is the best. Josh goes beyond to help and never lets you down.
Professional and Trustworthy
Josh is great. He provided a thorough explanation for all recommendations and let me know what was necessary vs. nice to have. Priceless to have a trustworthy mechanic.
No Upselling - Just Good Service
Here's a nice story about the friendly service at Bearden: I have an older Lexus SUV, many miles on it. I was planning to drive an elderly friend some distance and I decided to take my car to Bearden for a look, just in case something needed attention before the trip. They gave the car a good look, including up on a lift, and pronounced is in good shape - NO CHARGE.
Honest and fair
I have two Toyota trucks I would not take anywhere else. They do what needs to be done and don't sell you a bunch of stuff that is unnecessary. Josh is great to work with.
Still the best
I've been using Jeff Bearden's service since shortly after moving to Austin in early 2000, when I think he'd been open only a few months. I won't go anywhere else. He and his crew know how to solve problems and keep great old cars running well. Always fair and straight with me as an owner.
You guys made my Highland brand new. Thanks. Josh was really great to work with! -Kevin
These guys are the best!
A couple weeks ago, my 2007 Toyota Prius needed a 12v battery replacement. It was the first replacement I needed for it since I bought the car in the middle of '08 and I have about 125k miles on it. Even though Batteries Plus said they would do it, when they took a look at what would have to be done in the trunk to replace the battery, they immediately changed their minds. Frustrated, I went to Bearden who I have worked with for years, and they knocked it out in under two hours at a great price. Today I took it in to see about getting the parking brake line looked at to pass state inspection, and they were able to diagnose and adjust the cable in the morning and I picked it up in the afternoon without a problem, and as always, very affordable. These guys are so good at what they do, I told them if I lived outside of Texas and I was able to drive my car into their shop to have anything worked on it, I absolutely would. In fact, they're so amazing, I'm having a difficult time considering upgrading my car to something other than a Toyota or Lexus! When it comes to being professional, friendly, timely, and affordable, there is nobody else on the planet I can think of to take my car. Could I have taken my car to a shop closer to my home? Absolutely. Should I? Never. Not a chain repair shop, not another mom and pop shop, not even a certified dealership comes anywhere close to how incredible these guys are. I have no doubt in my mind my car would make it to a million miles with their help, and I just might see if I can make that happen. Thank you Josh and crew at Bearden! You have a customer for many more years and I'll be sure to send anyone who owns a Toyota and/or Lexus your way without hesitation!
Great Service, Great Price
Got a tuneup for my Camry, they were able to get me in/out at a great price and on time.
Beardens did everything I asked for quickly, fairly($.), and trustworthy. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Service was good and timely. Josh answered all my questions.
I have been a customer for a long time and trust the staff on their opinions. My transfer case had a seal that was leaking and they fixed it.
Great customer service !
Trustworthy, Quality Service
I have used Jeff Bearden exclusively since 2006 and I would rate his shop 5-star every visit. Trust and mechanic rarely go together but they do with Bearden. My Lexus has 246,000 city miles on it and it runs very well. I trust them to tell me what it needs, when it needs it. The list is usually short and minor. The car has never left me stranded and it's usually more than a year between service.
Always great service
Been going here for years. The guys at Bearden always come through. Very knowledgeable and friendly. No one likes spending money on auto repair, but they certainly make it less painful, and trust is something that you really can't put too high a value on. Good job!
Quick. Honest.
I brought my wife's Lexus in for an oil change and to check out a possible oil leak. I received timely feedback that was straight forward. I was told that there was no leak and the service suggested at the dealer wasn't not needed. This is why I bring both of my vehicles here. I trust what they tell me. That is rare in this day and age.
friendly, professional and reasonable cost
I had taken my Lexus to another repair service for headlamp replacement. Their cost was more than twice and they needed a day to fix it compare to Bearden and I waited for 30 minutes to get it done. This is not that my first repair shop was dishonest, it is just that Bearden knew how to get it done properly as they specialize in repairing Lexus and Toyotas. Thanks
All tuned up at 200k miles
I have been taking my 4Runner to Bearden Automotive for 15 years. They just keep this thing running great. They go above and beyond at a price that is more than fair. I was due for a timing belt, water pump, new spark plugs, etc. They did it all in one day and she runs great. They will always tell me what needs to be done, what doesn't and what can wait. They are very honest and I know that my vehicle is going to be well taken care of.
Great Experience as Always
Josh and the rest of the crew there did an exemplary job as usual - y'all rock!
Bearden Gets it Done.
These guys have serviced my Lexus for 5 years and they just keep doing a great job. Fair price and quality work!
High quality and reliable service
Have been a customer of Bearden since they opened for business. Always friendly service. Honest recommendations at a reasonable price. Josh is always reliable and honest. Have 2004 Tacoma and 2008 Lexus that have only been serviced by Bearden and they run great.
Great quick service
Excellent service as usual!
Great group of men. Always honest and forthright with me about my vehicle. I've taken 2 different Toyota vehicles to them over the years and they've never let me down, even going so far as to replace a missing brake caliper bolt that a previous 'brake professional' left out. You get your money's worth from these guys.
Been a customer for 5 years - trustworthy
I have been a customer for both routine matienance and major repairs of Toyota and Lexus vehicles over the last 7 years. Vehicles serviced Tacoma, Highlander, RX350, RX300. They have been very honest and trustworthy in all of my interactions. They know the vehicles and will do what they say.
Bearden Automotive is the best!
I was given a quote for the cost and the time it would take and they delivered on both. It was also quite nice that I did not have to wait there while they serviced my car. Their shuttle took me home and I was able to knock out a few to-do items while they worked on my car. A real treat!!
Great job on my car.
You guy's are awesome.
Servicing our Camry and Sienna at Bearden means peace of mind, just like owning Toyota's do
With all the regular maintenance and any service issues, we keep servicing our two Toyota's at Bearden Automotive, with great satisfaction. Owning two Toyota cars give peace of mind to us. Servicing them at Bearden adds even more to that. I trust them for their professionalism, experiences and honest and helpful customer service. They really know these cars! They even proactively fix and clean parts, after they got my green light, and our cars run better. Whatever they (luckily very rarely) find and suggest to resolve it, I can 100% trust them and let them proceed.
Honest Experts
I love that I've found a place where Toyota is their expertise. It's very comforting to know my cars are being fixed the right way with the right parts. Josh and the guys shot me straight, were very honest with me, and their price was very reasonable. This is the only place I'll take my Toyota and Lexus!!!
Love that we have Bearden's to work on our Lexus when needed.
I've used Beardens for 5 yrs now..I have had excellent service and been informed of everything being done too my car with cost .. My family also uses Beardens and will continue too do so.. I plan too continue too tell friends of the great service !! Thanks !!
fabulous as always! in & out in 45 minutes for the standard service.
Professional and friendly
Great people doing great work. Every time.
Quality service, friendly and fair
Bearden has always been fair. They do not try to talk you into services that are not needed. They are honest and provide great service at reasonable prices. Thank you.
Lexus Service at Bearden Auto.
Service managers Josh and Ken were professional and attentive to my needs. Work completed as expected and on time. Phone call to advise me it was done. Very courteous and I recommend these folks for any Lexus or Toyota services. I have been using Bearden for at least 10 years.
Quality. Timely. Fair Price.
Bearsen's reputation for quality service was met without question. My communication with Josh was always timely, friendly, and to the point. They were more than accommodating with my busy schedule as to offer to allow me to get inside the gate after hours, even though I found enough time and was not needed. My vehicle was dropped off, repaired and back to me within 24 hours. Outstanding. The price quoted was more than fair for what was needed to fix my truck. As a family with three Toyota/Lexus vehicles, it makes me feel good knowing that there is a quality shop with quality people avalible to me at a reasonable distance from home. I would not hesitate to recommend Bearden Automotive to anyone. I will without a doubt be a loyal and returning customer.
I love this shop!
Folks are friendly, prices are fair and they absolutely know their stuff. Thanks Bearden!
I have never been dissatisfied with the service and professionalism displayed by the folks at Bearden Automotive. They have taken care of my vehicles for about 20 years now and they have never failed to do their job very well. They do it all. Everything from engine overhauls to changing out windshield wipers. Take your Toyota/Lexus vehicles to them and you won't ever regret it. Highly recommended.
High quality and customer service
Josh and everyone provided a wonderful experience as always. My vehicle was serviced promptly. I appreciate the ride to and from so I did not have to stress about finding a ride. Thanks guys!!
Nationwide research
Bearden found us a replacement part at approximately one seventeenth the price of the factory new one. It arrived in a day and was in our car by that afternoon.
Excellent SVC, and I love the people here !
Good people, quality work, reasonable prices!
I've been coming to this place for over a decade and am driving my second Lexus vehicle. They are always very friendly and I feel like I can trust these guys. Josh is super sweet and happy to explain things in a manner I can understand. Jeff Bearden has been doing this a long time and knows his stuff! Bearden has internet, tv and some coffee too! So as long as you don't need a loaner car or carwash, this is the place to come save your hard earned money and get a quality repair or service well done! Thanks guys!
They have done a great job for me - Again!
Called mid morning, they were able to get me in for a look right away. They then drove me to work right away as well. The car had to stay overnight so they picked me up at my home and took me back to work the next day. The job was finished on time that afternoon and the car is running great! Not only that, but I have complete confidence that the job was done right! I completely trust this shop - great service at a great price! Thanks! Three out of four of my vehicles are Toyotas - I will not take them anywhere else.
Wish I would have dumped the Lexus dealer service decades ago!
I can trust Bearden for what's really necessary and have it repaired at a fair price. Everyone there is a pleasure to deal with. You know I'll be back. When our newer Lexus falls out of certification I will definitely be bringing it here too! Thanks guys!
I can't begin to express how very pleased I am with Bearden's. My car had a number of issues to be addressed and they were very helpful in guiding me to take care of the most critical issues. In all my 72 years, I can honestly say that I've never experienced such quality service! I would highly recommend them! Alice Parker
As always...Exceptional Service
I have used Bearden Automotive for over 15 years and the level of service provided this last visit was consistent with the high standard that I've received from day one. They take very good care of my vehicle and are quick to diagnose issues then get them resolved. I never feel taken advantage of or feel that their diagnosis or estimate is unnecessary or unreasonable. I hope to remain a loyal customer of Bearden Automotive for life! Love these guys!
Precision maintenance check
I'm leaving for Ca soon. Had Bearden check over my car for long distance drive. They found the radiator had not been replaced for years! And the battery should signs of deterioration ... So with rest of car in good shape I'm off with confidence! No better car maintenance service anywhere in Austin area!
Thorough evaluation of what needs to be repaired
Brought a 2002 Lexus in for a 100k checkup. I was pleased with all of the items that were found as I knew there were leaks. The biggest and more dire repar needed was a serpentine timing belt that if it breaks while driving the engine would probably be to at. It was 10k miles overdue and o had no clue🙄 So very pleased with their Lexus certified mechanic. He was first rate and my car is humming like it was brand new.They even gave me a ride to enterprise. Oh and the smiling fella behind the desk is a pleasure to work with!
Good service and friendly
I need a repair immediately and they got it done for me.
bearings, steering repair, & maintenance
Fast, fair, and repaired! Thanks to Josh!
Great quick service
Josh worked with me very well, seemed well informed and kept me informed on repairs. Car runs great again and will be my "go to" place for future repairs.
Professional, Friendly, and Assumed To Be High Quality
2005 LS 430 oil change/ 12/26/17. As far as I can tell, the service was just fine and didn't have to wait long -- did have an appointment.
Loyal and Happy Customers for Over 15 Years!
Bearden has maintained all of our Lexus and Toyota vehicles. Consistent quality service for more than 15 years. Highly recommend them!
If they can keep a Previa going for 480,000 miles...
I first found out about Bearden when I saw their Previa van driving around Austin. Toyota Previas seem pretty rare around Austin, and it was good to find a mechanic who had experience working on one. I had a mechanic try and fix my van, and tried fixing about 3 different things and nothing worked. After a month of calls back and forth to try to figure out if they had fixed my van or had any idea what was wrong, I took it to Bearden. They were able to immediately identify the problems: the computer was burned out(fortunately there are a lot of good used ones on Ebay) and there was oil leaking from the gasket into the distributor. I agreed to the estimate which seemed fair for the work. They were able to install the new computer and a new gasket and distributor. The van is running great now! I'll be bringing it back to Bearden next time I need a repair.
Quality Service and honest.
Josh was very friendly and honest answered all my questions. my new place to take care of my Lexus RX350
Doing it right
Growing business. Owner very involved directly in all aspects to assure quality. Maintenance Special done by appointment. Went smoothly. Consulted on tires. Alerted to mfr. recommended service and status of brakes, tire wear, etc. No complaints. Always enjoy doing business with Jeff. Highly recommend. Been customer for many years. Not cheap, but fair price for top quality, competent, honest service I can trust. 11/9/17.
Great experience.
Great service at a competitive price
Took Lexus in for regular maintenance service and some other work (rear brake job, reclamp CV boots) and , as usual, staff were cordial and honest about maintenance needs and estimated costs. Josh is great to work with and Albert is an excellent technician. Work always done when promised and this visit included a courtesy vehicle service which was handled very efficiently. If you have a Toyota or Lexus! You need to give Bearden a try.
Continued great work by Bearden
Correctly and quickly confirmed and repaired air conditioning failure on my Prius.
High quality service, professional and friendly.
Josh was very friendly and answered my questions. Bearden is THE place to take your Lexus to.
Honest and throrough
We took a car we are considering buying in to be checked out. They did a throrough and comprehensive check on it and gave us honest feedback about what the car will need. They were patient and explained in detail their pricing. We will be going back again.
Fast and complete
I always bring my Lexus to Bearden for maintenance and repairs. I trust their honesty and I have always gotten great service.
Best in Class
I've been using Bearden for maintenance and repair for numerous cars for the years. If you drive a Lexus or a Toyota there simply isn't anywhere else you should consider. These guys provide excellent customer service, fair prices, and a commitment to excellence that exceeds that of the dealers. Can't recommend them enough.
High Quality Service, Honest, and Friendly
I took my 18 year old Lexus ES300 to Beardon for my regular 5K mile service. Most places I would take my cars to in the past would ALWAYS find something wrong that "needed fixing". Not Beardon! They are Honest (only if my car really needs work does Beardon recommend it); They provide high quality service (my car always runs like a top after any work by Beardon); And Josh is the BEST! (always friendly and helpful, with a Great attitude). I can't speak highly enough about Beardon Automotive. If you have a Lexus or Toyota that is out of warranty, Beardon ohs the Best place to take your car.
Best Choice in Austin for Lexus Toyota
I was referred to Bearden by my friend who owns multiple Toyotas and Lexus' and is a "motorhead"- This was my second trip to Bearden. I am extremely impressed with the way they communicate and the manner in which the service options are presented. Josh one of the service reps is very dependable. You don't feel like you are getting "upsold" or taken advantage of, which is greatly important. I can assure you the Espresso at Lexus Stonelake is not free so bring your own from Starbucks and save $300-$400 on a simple service. On my trip today, my driver from Ride Austin was driving a Toyota Corolla. Without prompting he stated "I know exactly where Bearden is located, they have the best reputation in Austin for Toyota/Lexus. (He was a former car dealer.) Not the fanciest place you've ever seen. I'll take the savings and the down to earth real honest people service experience instead. 2008 Lexus LS460 95k miles
First visit
Highly recommend Nice people who are honest and do the right thing! And the love my dog too. Thank you
As usual great service as well and done in a timely manner. Office staff courteous and professional in explaining work to be done. No surprises!
Friendly, Efficient, Concerned
I needed transportation home and then back to pick up my vehicle and they made sure I was picked up. They were friendly and helpful, a nice thing for someone concerned about their vehicle. They did not try to sell me anything I did not need and gave me a fair price I believe. Will definitely return. Always good treatment of me as a customer. Got my vehicle on their schedule promptly. May thanks to Josh.
Great Service
I own 2 Toyota vehicles and have been bringing them to Bearden since I've owned them. Certified Toyota repair and good people. Beats the dealerships.
Good service
Good service...although they accidentally caught a nail in my front tire, but promptly patched it.
My car won't die!
I have a 1995 ES 300 and my plan was to drive it into the ground. As long as Jeff and his entire crew are around, I'm afraid I'll die before the car does. I've been using Bearden for over 15 years. I get a list of what needs to be done now and a list of what's next (when I'm ready). Honesty and Integrity go a long way in my book.
i brought my lexus in for a scheduled oil change, and also for a check over. i knew something was wrong enough to make me afraid to drive it. the mechanic found two major problems with the front wheel and knew where the repair could be accomplished. of course, every part of this experience , from rides to and from the garage to the final explanation of the bill by josh were handled with politeness and good will. i have been going to bearden's for over ten years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.
Top Notch!
The crew at Bearden are always top notch! Im a quite particular and I prefer to do it myself but I do know where to draw the line and thats when my vehicle goes to Bearden. They have always been honest and have never pushed me to do something to my vehicle that didn't need to be done.
Quality Service and Professional
This was my first time using Bearden, based on a recommendation from friends, and I was very please. I felt that they were very honest and I can depend on them to take care of my car care needs.
Honest, quality service
Jeff Bearden is my hero! And Josh and all the mechanics are top notch. I have been taking our Camry Hybrid and Prius there for over 5 years now and they always do a fantastic job. They don't try to do unnecessary repairs and give you an honest assessment of what is going on with your car and what needs to be done then and in the future as the mileage adds up. As a woman with very little knowledge of cars, I depend on an honest and trustworthy mechanic. Jeff Bearden has instilled that trust and I told him yesterday, he has a customer for life and that I will always drive Toyotas knowing he will be the one taking care of them. I highly recommend Bearden Automotive to anyone with a Toyota or Lexus.
Everything good. New engine seems to be working fine. No unusual noises or issues. Do ya'll do front end work and brake service? Thanks, Chris Crow
We have been bringing our cars to Bearden for years. They are always very friendly and provide amazing service. We honestly feel like Jeff and his employees are honest hard workers.
I had my car for a normal maintenance service. Their attention and service is always excellent.
Honest advice, friendly service
I've been taking my Toyota 4runner to Bearden for years. Always given me honest advice, telling me what is wrong and needs to be fixed now, what can wait, and what to be expecting in the near future. They have done a few repairs at no cost even though the parts were a slightly out of warranty. This last visit was bad news, leaking ac condenser coils. That's a two day job at $2000. I was running a little late picking the car up. I actually arrived at the shop just as the guys were driving out of the lot. They turned around, opened the shop up again, and let me pick up my car anyway. Not many places would do that. Even though it was bad news, and it is going to be an expensive repair, I drove away happy. I know they give honest evaluations, do quality work at a fair price, and understand the value of customer service. They even offer to shuttle you to and from work while your car is in the shop. Can you say that about your mechanic?
Excellent Service
First time visit. I purchased my Lexus SC430 new in 2002 and love this car !!! so have held on to it even though I have newer cars and don't get to drive my "lil-baby" much. Recently decided to fix 'er up, There have been several other auto repair shops work on my Lexus over the years, so it is with great emphasis that I state the following: the folks at Bearden are top notch pro's. Manager, Josh, was very attentive and clearly knows his craft. Communication was absolutely excellent from the moment I arrived, through numerous phone calls with Josh, and through their team of pro's working on this car, and through to my drive away from their facility. The entire process was fast and easy and I am so relieved and happy because I want to be able to keep and enjoy this car until the wheels fall off and the engine stops running, and now, I have this top notch team at Bearden that I can call on to take care of my treasured 'lil-baby. My experience with the folks at Bearden was all I could hope for, they proved to me that they are the go-to place for my Lexus, I believe they are everything I could hope for with an automotive repair and service business...professional, skilled, fast, reasonable pricing and honest. Also, I have been to numerous Lexus dealerships for service over the years, and I would not hesitate to bring my car to Bearden if it was new or not.
Great First Experience
I was looking for an alternative to the dealer, and Bearden was recommended to me. Great job, fair pricing, knowledgeable Service Manager, and reasonable wait time....... Keep it up and you will be my "go to" place for my two Lexus vehicles.
Skip the Dealership
A major Toyota dealership in Austin with commercials of questionable quality told me that my 2009 Corolla S was leaking oil and it would cost $1,900. I took it to Bearden, and in less than 2 hours they got back to me and told me that the REAL problem was an o-ring. I was out the door WITH an oil change and a tire rotation for $270. This is the place to go if you drive a Toyota or Lexus. Period.
Our whole family fleet in good hands now
After multiple very impressive experiences with Bearden Automotive, we have added our next car to the fleet they maintain and service for us. Since we are very sensitive to such a trustful relationship, we feel safe that all our cars are in the best hands, from regular maintenance to any service issues. Thanks to other honest reviews we tried out Bearden Automotive a year ago and we will definitely stick to them as long as we live in Austin. Customer service is fantastic, technicians are perfect and very experienced, and prices are very fair as if they would be just family relatives. All too good yet also true.
Outstanding service, honest evaluation, and fair prices.
Professional and Friendly
I came here for an oil change, it was a short wait in which I was greeted professionally and escorted to the lounge. The job was done to extreme satisfaction and in a timely manner. Great job
We had our Lexus in today for oil change plus a general check. Your guys found things we wer not aware of They fixed several problems. Per usual they were very professional. Up front & honest, I always feel they are trustworthy & as a woman that goes a long way.
Great Service / Better People
My wife and I have used Bearden for two of our vehicles over the last year and they have been professional in all aspects of their jobs. We bought a 1987 FJ60 Land Cruiser and they have treated it like their own. Additionally, when we have had issues with our newer Toyota, we take it to Bearden and it gets fixed fast and right the first time. Call them and you won't be sorry. We aren't!
I called Beardon for a quote on front brakes, timing belt and an oil change for my Lexus RX400H. Their estimate was $600+ less than the dealership. The work was done on time, as quoted and with a one year warranty. My experience was excellent and Josh provided great customer service! Thank you!
As usual superior service
Josh noted my tire pressure indicator was on due to low pressure in Spare! Great catch!! Been there since 2000...go only to Lexus dealer for call ins due to recalls.
A plus service!
Thank you, Josh, for taking such good care of my car and me! You have me for your customer for good now. One thing though. Just after I got home today I received a $50 gift certificate in the mail from Bearden. What do I do now? Deborah Bullock
Professional and Friendly
Just moved to Austin and brought my Prius in for an oil change. They were able to work me in quickly and were friendly and professional. I will definitely be returning with my other vehicle.
Relocated to Austin with 2 Toyota's
I am happy I have read many reviews before choosing after relocating to Austin. I had my first visit here and am very satisfied. Note: I do not think I am an easy customer to gain my trust.
Professional and friendly service
I was told ahead of time how much would the repair cost and there was no pressure or scare tactics and no up sell. Good place and I would recommend it
Aways fix whats needed and nothing else
Great service every time.
new clutch
great service
I love Bearden Automotive
Bearden Automotive has been servicing my Tacoma for 6+ years and I will not take my truck anywhere else. They have always done an amazing job and I've never had any issues or complaints whatsoever. The work is done right the first time (never had to come back) and they really take pride in their work. I wish more shops operated like Bearden. They always call and explain whatever is wrong and let you know decide what work needs to be done with no pressure. There is never any "upselling" or shady BS. They've even shown me a few things I can do personally to AVOID replacing an expensive part. I've dealt with many dishonest auto-repair shops in the past and I am so glad I found Bearden. Just recently, I came in for a check engine light. They initially thought it might have been a leaky valve in the exhaust (~$250) but later discovered it was just the gas cap (~$25). A dishonest business would have tried to screw me out of that extra money but not Bearden! I really trust these guys and everyone is always extremely kind and professional. You will not be disappointed!
Exactly what they said
I go to Bearden's for two reasons: First, they are competent and honest. Second, it is what they say it is. No bait and switch.
Finally a trustworthy group. The repair what is needed and just a nice group of people.
Everybody is so friendly
I truly appreciate the professionalism, thoroughness, friendliness of the people. That is so refreshing for an auto repair establishment. You're awesome!
Experienced and Honest
I totally trust Bearden. They are honest and know what they are doing. It's very refreshing to find that in a care repair shop. Josh is great.
Always appreciate the help at Bearden
Been coming here for years, and they've always treated me right. I know if I have to have something done it will done right. And if on the rare occasion it isn't accomplished perfectly on the first attempt, they'll always step up and do whatever it takes to get there. Good crew, and Jeff is really knowledgable on all things Toyota/Lexus.
Professional and polite.
I always feel that my local Toyota dealer is trying to sell me unnecessary repairs and maintenance. I brought my car to Bearden for a 2nd opinion. Turns out I was right. I feel that the staff at Bearden were far more honest and trustworthy. They were able to specify which repairs were necessary versus recommended. They repaired my car for a fraction of what it would have cost to have those repairs done at the dealership. This is my new place to go for automotive repairs.

Great job. Best place in Austin to take your car

The skinny on Bearden Automotive
I've been trusting my vehicle maintenance to Bearden Automotive for some time now, and it is always a great experience. They're very professional, yet they always make me feel like I'm family.
High quality service, professional, friendly and efficient
I had a really great experience with my recent maintenance appointment. I have gone to Bearden in the past with my Tundra and now that my newer 2014 Tacoma is out of its free regular maintenance period for first 2 years, I have gone back to Bearden to maintain my truck for the remainder of the truck's useful life. I feel these guys are honest and they are certified mechanics for Toyota products so I can trust the work to be done right and only the work that is truly needed to keep my Tacoma running great for years to come. Thanks again Bearden for working with me to take in my vehicle at last minute and get it fixed that day. I had a concern about maintenance schedule items from Toyota Motor Corp. and one of them that was not addressed by the dealer. Bearden was able to advise and guide me on what was needed and what really is needed to be worked on to maintain extended warranty and emissions testing. Regards, Ryan
Model shop
Called about 9 am for appt. for maintenance special. Took me at 11 am same day. Full report on inspection. Answered all my questions. Friendly, competent, honest timely service. Jeff wouldn't have it any other way. This shop only takes Toyota or Lexus vehicles and its excellent service is one reason I buy that brand of car. It's the way all auto repair shops should be. 8/8/16.
Bearden is the Best
For many years and through several Lexi, Bearden Automotive has provided excellent service for reasonable prices. Regular maintenance, major repair, repair that seemed major and turned out to be minor - like the time that suddenly the thermo went Red in downtown Austin rush hour traffic. I was sure the entire front end had gone totally irrevocably bad. Bearden diagnosed; a fan had quit working, easy fix. The shop is clean and well-organized. Bearden mechanics are professionals. They take pride in their work and are experts at what they do. Jeff Bearden adheres to the highest ethical standards. You're treated right and so is your car.
I ALWAYS have a good expierence with Bearden!!! I needed to have a quick checkup on my AC checked on my Toyota Land Cruiser and it was done quickly and efficiently with minimum waiting they are always helpful and courteous! I have been their customer for almost 10 years-and my Son and Daughter are customers as well.
Great service with total trust
As usual, I can trust that Bearden will not recommend services not really needed.
high quality service
We had expected a simple disc pad replacement, but teardown revealed severe damage to one rotor. They immediately ordered replacement rotors from WorldPac where I used to work, and where they were my customer. They showed me the damage and I approved the additional repair. Because of their prompt action it only took a short time to do the extra work while I waited. I will continue to use Bearden for any additional work on this second Prius.
On time and great service
Bets Mechanics in Austin and Best repair shop
Bearden Automotive is the best repair shop in Austin. I have had Brakes done, wiring harnesses fixed, new starter, broken door handles, an overhaul of the radiator system, a nightmare oil leak! I have always liked Toyota and Lexus but cannot stand using the dealership repair shop. Since finding Bearden automotive I will only buy Toyota and Lexus because that is what they repair. If Bearden told me tomorrow they only fix Fords I would sell my Toyota and Lexus and buy a Ford. Some news has been good like today all we needed was a new battery, and some has been bad, that oil leak nightmare, but the best part about Bearden is I have never ever felt ripped off. They are not the cheapest but they are the best and they have always done a good job. They are great people and great mechanics.
Always the best
Requested Maintenance Special for Toyota Tacoma truck and also requested to wait while the service was provided. Jordan handled my appointment with ease and Josh handled the actual work order very efficiently. Service was provided in a timely manner and all inspections were reviewed with me at checkout. Always a reliable, honest source for work being done on both my Tacoma and Lexus. You can count on Bearden Automotive to do good work at a reasonable price.

I can't believe I paid so much for that repair and instead of being mad...I am GRATEFUL! I trust these guys so much. They are nice, timely, and thorough. They never try to sell me some BS fix for my car and the few times it has broken...they were just so easy and knowledgable about it all. I would recommend this business to anyone that will listen!
Our car was taken in for a regular checkup. We are always pleased with the staff - very professional and helpful. The checkup was done in a timely manner.
As a thirteen year customer we can say that Bearden Auto gives professional,friendly and reliable service.
Fully professionlal explanattion of work neede and provided
Staff is cordial and professional in service(s) provided. I have experienced honesty in diagnosis of work needed on my SUV and also that which is not necessary.
As always I received quality service at Bearden. I got in and out in a timely manner. The guys there are always courteous and explain all aspects of the service rendered. Thanks guys for keeping my Lexus in tip top shape!
excellent service
As always, fast and courteous service
Responsive, couteous, professional and filled w/ integrity
I had another great experience w/ Bearden. It is evident that securing a shop that is trustworthy is invaluable. I went to Bearden again and was amazed at the service I received. They were not only responsive on the quote, the appointment, the consultation and the service, but they provided to me what is the most important attribute... INTEGRITY. As an example, another company quoted me a $1200,00 repair. Went to Bearden for a second opinion, It was misdiagnosed. It ended up being a minor repair saving me $1K. I fully support and recommend all Lexus and Toyota owners to experience Bearden. Ask for Josh...he is simply the BEST.
Best auto service in Austin
Josh is very forthcoming in justifying all expenses; it's rare to feel like a mechanic isn't talking down to a woman. I value that kind of relationship and feel like my Lexus is in good hands.
Excellent Service
These guys are great. Customer Service is spot on, they always remember your name, your car and are happy to assist you. My first experience with Bearden was the purchase of a used SUV. I brought it in for evaluation and they documented everything and cleared it for purchase. Several months later I ran into an issue so I took it in for them to look at and they identified the problem. I explained I purchased the extended warranty and they said give us the information and we will take care of it. They worked with the warranty company which took the burden off of me, work was completed at no cost and the car runs like a champ. I have been back for all service needs ever since.
Excellent job fixing our Prius Plug-in
After driving over a large object in the road (could not swerve in time due to traffic congestion), it sounded as though our Toyota Prius was seriously damaged (heard a very loud thud as if a rock hit from underneath). Afterwards, every time we drove off somewhere, there was clunking noise and other weird noises coming from the back part of the car. As the car only had about 72,000 miles on it, we were hoping we didn't damage it too badly but were hesitant to bring it anywhere as we expected a big bill. However, we knew Bearden had done a great job with all of our cars in the past, so we brought it to them, hoping that the fix would not be too expensive. We are so relieved that they took a look, put back the heat shield, bent the arm holding the muffler back into place, replaced a missing clip, and all for a very reasonable price. We are so happy we brought our car to Bearden! We also want to give a shout out to Josh who is always very pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable.
Great Service
Have used Jeff's since he opened over 10 years ago. Always found them to be honest with their repair recommendations. Friendly, personal staff such as Josh, Service Mgr, have been the norm. Latest service was for maintenance special (oil change, etc.) and brake job. Anticipated replacement of pads but they discovered damaged rotor on front so replaced both front rotors. Called me to report condition, provided me with an estimate, and requested my approval before doing the work. Car was ready same day as promised. Courtesy van took me home and picked me up in timely manner. Always recommend them to my friends who own Toyota or Lexus vehicles.
The BEST!
I have been going to Beardon Automotive for many years to service my last two cars: a 1998 and a 2000 Lexus ES300. Jeff and his staff are honest, courteous, dependable, and do an excellent job in keeping my older Lexus' in tip top running shape. I HIGHLY recommend Beardon Automotive to anyone that has a Toyota or Lexus car over anyone else, including a Toyota or Lexus dealer. Beardon is the BEST!
The Best
This was my first visit to Bearden Automotive. Jeff, Josh and the whole staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. They were patient and very good at listening to my problem with my car. Because of my experience I will defiantly be back and refer all of friends and relatives to them. They have earned my trust and my business
great as always...
Fabulous as always! Were fast and honest. They team at Bearden does a great job and never tries to sell me something I don't need.
Easy to schedule, work done promptly, car ready to go when promised. Fair price.
Josh was very helpful when I came in, explaining what the problem was. My car was diagnosed and fixed by early afternoon. Don gave me a ride home which I REALLY appreciated because I was heading out of town and needed to get ready. Something that could have very stressful wound up just being a minor bump in the day. Thank you!
Dependable good work results.
Awesome service at a reasonable price
Excellent Service

Thank you Jeff and all the staff who make this business a good one! Got my brakes fixed, got a ride to & from with Don and all is well in the world!Thanks again! Polly
Excellent service and. good communication. We will be back.
Easy to make reservations and to be a "waiter". Friendly staff and knowledgable of maintenance requirements.
Gave me the right advice, didn't try to upsell me, fast and reliable. Their shuttle service is incredibly helpful as well!
The folks at Bearden are always easy to work with and do a great job.
Great job as always! The car is running like a top, thanks!
Jeff and his crew have serviced my Lexus for 10+ years and have always
Always great work on cars. But please hire a person to manage the front office -- Jeff is too busy!
Sure glad to have you on my team.
My car was sputtering and the "Engine" light came on.. Luckily I was close to Beardon's Automotive, and I made it without the car overheating, which I feared. Jeff (the owner) diagnosed my car with a bad spark plug coil and fixed the car while I waited. He was AWESOME!!!! the cost was a fraction of what I thought it might be. If you owns Toyota or Lexus, I HIGHLY recommend Beardon Automotive. They are honest and go out of their way to take care of their customers!
Jeff and the guys at Bearded are AWESOME. They communicate trust, they are transparent and honest, and they are dedicated to customer service. I will continue to be a customer even if I have to buy a new Toyota after my current vehicle no longer gets the job done.
As always excellence service!
Excellent service.
I have been coming to Bearden's for more than 15 years, and I wouldn't think of taking my car anywhere else! Jeff and his team are top-notch professionals, and I can always count on getting the best service at the best value.
I really, REALLY appreciate how quickly you guys diagnosed and fix the problem with my car. The service was excellent and the price worked great with our budget.
Nice people that do their work very well. Their service and attitude to customers are much appreciated.
As always staff was friendly and service was timely.
Very friendly knowledgeable and prompt.
Change my e-mail address to firstname.lastname@example.com
Convenient, competent service within budget.
Thank you Jeff and your team for all you do in making owning a Lexus such a pleasant experience by your service.
I have used Bearden for years. Wouldn't take my car any where else
Good service & trustworthy. Reasonable rates. I don't take our Lexus SUVs anywhere else for maintenance or repair.
As always very prompt & professional service.
Jeff is super accommodating, will never rip you off and is incredibly knowledgeable - can't think of very many auto shops I can say that about.
The service was done timely and the people are friendly and courteous. I was able to get maintenance and brakes for way less than the cost would have been at the dealership.
Easy to make an appointment. Work done timely and vehicle ready to be picked up when they said the work would be finished. Work appears to have done well and vehicle was washed before I picked it up.
As always, your service is tops, always reliable. Thanks for the years of being able to count on you when my cars need maintenance or help.
The guy that worked on my car was Jeff. He was very thorough in explaining what the issues were in my car and what needed to be fixed immediately.
Thanks for your care of my 22 year old Camry. At 223000 miles it needs that care ..so it reaches 300,000!
Great, honest, fast service!
Excellent professional service and very courteous staff. Been with Bearden for the last 5 years for our Lexus RX350 that has 80k+ miles on it and it is running like a champ! :)
Bearden automotive is one reason I only buy Toyotas. They only service Toyota or Lexus vehicles. Jeff runs an honest, highly competent shop. Over the years, I have had a series of Toyotas that he has serviced, and he has always done the job right and given me honest assessments of what repairs are or are NOT needed. Jeff's mechanics are specialists and only Toyota recommended parts are used in all repairs and service, so I know my car is getting proper care. Jeff Bearden owns the shop and is intimately involved in all aspects of it on a daily basis, ensuring that his own high standards of customer service and quality work are met. Prices seem fair and competitive. 6/3/14, 12:55 CDT
Your service is always the best, which is why we keep coming back.
They take excellent care of my MDX!!!
I started using Beardon in 2000. The Toyota dealer was all wrong as to my problem Jeff fixed it in 2 minutes. I have taken my 1992 Camry there ever since. I would trust no one else with this baby,. Each mechanic there is a master of his trade. I'm a Beardon customer forever.
Great service overall. My only complaint is they need to call me when service is done so I can pick up, not leaving me to wonder and wait.
Prompt, efficient, friendly. Much obliged.
Great service and timely!
Jeff and his mechanics are great. They are thorough and do what is needed at the time as well as explain things that may need to be done in the future. I've never been comfortable taking my car to other shops and hate being taken advantage of. I've always felt Bearden was honest and upfront about the work that needed to be done. And didn't try to do something that wasn't necessary. I take my 2008 Camry Hybrid and our 2011 Prius there and will continue to use Bearden for all our car service needs.
The work was done extremely well. The Bearden mechanics are quick to debug problems and solve them, and solve them well.
As usual, I took my Acura to Bearden Automotives and was pleased with the servicing.
Great Service. Friendly and honest.
Great work as always! My car is running like a top (knock on wood).
Consistantly great service and savings.
Great service.
I really miss the professional enthusiasm from Pamela paired with this excellent shop, but even without her running the day-to-day, Jeff and team are extraordinarily competent, fair and straightforward. Everything one needs in a repair shop! I'm still recommending!
Service was excellent and timely. However, 5 days post visit for a maintenance special, my warning light indicating "Maintenance required soon" came on. It evidently was not reset and even though I got a report that all was fine with the car, I will have to go back to get the service light reset.
Bearden knows its Lexus. On short notice they were able to diagnose and repair the problem within a day. I appreciate their service and honest advice.
Competent mechanics, convenient scheduling, fair pricing.
I take both my Lexus and my wife's Toyota here and wouldn't go anywhere else. Quality work at a fair price. Couldn't ask for more.
Service was good.
bearden has given us great service for over seven years now.
Very happy with my most recent car maintenance experience. Technician took the time to explain everything to me. Waiting area is clean and comfortable and everyone here is friendly and respectful.
Excellent and honest service.
Brought used car in on 2/21/14 for buyer evaluation at a very busy time. Needed it done immediately because seller was on his cell phone scheduling other customers to see the car in the next hour or so even as we were negotiating. Jeff Bearden dropped everything he, personally, was doing and reviewed the car himself on the spot and charged me a minimum fee. We were done in under a half hour. His price point recommendation gave me a strong bargaining position with the seller. We closed the deal, so we'll probably be bringing the car in for maintenance in the near future as needed. Thanks for being flexibly accommodating, competent, and trustworthy. I have been bringing my Toyotas to Bearden, who only services Toyota and Lexus vehicles, for many years. I think the competence and quality of service are better than a Toyota dealer would give. The work is always done right, and only work that really should be done is ever recommended. 2/22/14
my car was finshed quickly and professionally. getting a ride home from jeff was very appreciated
I can always count on you guys to tell me what I need to know about my cars so that they can continue to run their best. Thanks,.
Have used Bearden since they opened and have always found them to be friendly as well as honest when it came to recommendations for additional services. Easy to get appointments and very reliable in their timeliness if you want to wait on the work. Also have courtesy vehicle if you need to go somewhere else. Dependable service work and seek complete satisfaction from customer or they will make it right.
I am glad to see the Toyota specialist who can fix a Ford Truck that broke down on his lot!
Our check engine light came around 6 p.m. this past Wednesday night, just a few minutes after Bearden Automotive closes. We called on the outside chance that Jeff would still be around. Luckily for us, Jeff told us to stop on by and he'd take a look that night! We drove over, he took a look, he identified the problem quickly, and ordered the part for us that night. He also fixed our car temporarily so that we could get home and return in the morning. This is some great down home service that we don't feel we could find anywhere else. We are overjoyed to have Bearden Automotive take care of our cars and provide over-the-top service. Thank you Jeff!
Great service as usual.
A job wel done
I am grateful to have Bearden Automotive as my GO TO resource to repair & maintain my 16 year old Camry. Jeff & his team have integrity, are professional & do an outstanding job.
very professional, friendly atmosphere
My 1997 Lexus LX 450 was done when promised and right on budget! Drives great
Honest, efficient, dependable. As usual, Jeff and his team provided excellent service. For insurance purposes, I got an estimate through a dealership prior to taking my car to Jeff. The dealership was claiming repairs that were not necessary.I trust Bearden Automotive, and to me, that is the greatest endorsement that I can provide.
Loyal customer! Great service very trustworthy and wouldn't take my Lexus anywhere else
Our beloved 2000 ES300 was having transmission problems. Spoke to Bearden's on the phone. Had it towed to the shop. They inspected it. When it warms it works OK but has hesitation in shifting. They quoted how much the repair would be and when it would be done. They called at about noon on the quoted day and we picked it up. Runs great.
Excellent as always. I have never driven away dissatisfield.
Easily scheduled online appt; followed up by confirmation phone call. This is new and I like it a lot. Have always received good service!!
As usual, mechanical repairs done in an outstanding manner. Also, as usual, tires inflated to 40 psi which is close to Michelin's maximum. I automatically check them and reduce to 35 psi which is still quite firm.
Bearden Automotive always strikes me as embodying an ideal balance of personalism and professionalism. I look forward to getting my cars worked on because they make it painless and even pleasant.
Dear Jeff and crew: Yesterday we picked up our 1991 van, which has reached the end of its life, and said goodbye to Bearden's. At home we reviewed our records and saw we've been your customer for 12 years. We recalled the time you drove to Lamar Middle School to help us when one of our daughter's friends somehow pulled the van's sliding door off its bottom hinge. There were times, with teenage drivers, that we were bringing 3 cars to you. We always felt confident in your advice and your actual work on the cars. We appreciate your honest advice, and your dad makes a great chauffeur. We hope to find another car we can bring back to you. Thanks-
honest and good service.
All work performed as scheduled and on time. Results were excellent. Will continue to trust both our autos to Bearden's good work and good service. Dave and Janie Williams
Top Notch service, always!
Great service. Fast and efficient, as always.
My wife took her 2006 Lexus to bearden with several problems. They kindly took care of all of the issues quickly and at a great cost. We have been to bearden multiple times and they have always been extremely helpful.
Excellent value for Lexus.
Staff are friendly and trustworthy. Expertise in Toyota and Lexus and can always be trusted to provide honest feedback on vehicle conditions and not pressure you for repairs that are optional or non-urgent. Sad to see Pamela leave but she was there for a long period of time and I understand her need to change jobs. I'm sure Jeff will find a competent service manager and I know he will manage the job in the interim well.
Excellent experience every time.
No frills, low cost but excellent work.
Your mechanics are great. Pamela Hunt, service manager, is great! A note from long-time clients: Please update your facility. The office, waiting room, and lot shared with the spreading out body shop seem to have been neglected for years. This will eventually reflect in fewer clients choosing to stay with Bearden and to give referrals to Bearden. Newer clients cannot help but assume that what is outside the mechanics bay is reflected by the quality of work done in the mechanics bay.
Went in for a service special on our 2006 Lexus and had it done quickly while I waited. They noticed my air filter was dirty and replaced it. At checkout, the only thing they said for future reference was that my inspection sticker was about to expire at the end of the month.
Better than the dealership.
As usual the service was great. I always feel that Bearden Automotive takes good care of my car. The personnel there are friendly and courteous. I always get an explanation for the service that will be done and why I need to get it taken care of. I won't take my car anywhere else to have it service.
The folks at Bearden Automotive are always friendly, efficient and seem to be very honest. I have no fears in bringing in my Lexus to them for any work needed.
Excellent and dependable service, going beyond expectations. Thank you!
Pam and the crew are the best. Can not recommend them enough.
Pamela and staff are great!
They took GREAT care of my care and I as always. Pamela and the team are awesome! They've earned my trust in 3 years of going. I was a bit skeptical at first, but now I trust them fully. Prices are not outrageous either.
Always a great experience.
I've always had a positive experience at Bearden. Pam is very friendly, knowledgable, and professional and works hard to insure the job is done in a timely manner and at a pretty good price. They've kept my car running nicely for quite a number of years.
Quick service with no problems. The addition of an excellent hand car wash was a great idea.
Work is always done quickly and professionally.
Bearden Automotive has always provided great service for our cars. In our last road trip, we had some car trouble and called in to Bearden from over 500 miles away. They stayed late and advised us on how to fix the problem ourselves so that we could get home. We are also impressed by their service policy in that they only fix what they need to and try to save you money in doing so. They are always friendly, helpful, and provide great advice. I highly recommend this great group of folks and their service.
Thanks everything was great.
Great Service
As usuall, wonderful service!
Love the friendly and knowledgable staff and the ability to schedule convenient appointment times. Definitely can rely on Pam's honesty in recommendations. She is extremely knowledgable and takes the time to explain pros and cons of work proposed. Cost estimates are always accurate and you don't get surprises.
Outstanding, as usual.
After oil/filter change on 2001 Tacoma noted oil appeared to be at lower mark on dipstick. Hard to tell due to clarity of new oil and Toyota's dipstick. Brought truck back. Mechanic locked at it immediately and agreed it looked low to him. Oil added and on my way in ten minutes. No excuses.
My experience with Pamela and her team is always pleasant and professional. Communication is prompt and clear. Estimates are accurate and service is impeccable. I would definitely go back to get my Lexus services at Bearden's again.
awesome as usual!
Always a good job
Upbeat and thoroughly competent would be my words for the service I've gotten at Bearden. You guys make me look forward to coming to get my vehicles repaired! Thanks!
very proffessional service. I would recomend this company to anyone who loves their Toyota.
Always a pleasure.
Awesome as usual.
We have used Bearden since we purchased our first Lexus. They have provided excellent service and their pricing is reasonable. Their people are very curteous and professional. I can't say enough good things about them. I will not have my car serviced anywhere else.
awesome service, great prices & nice folks - what more could you ask for?!
Jeff and Pamela and great. They are very honest and will only do the work needed and you can feel comfortable knowing it will be done right. I have been going there for 3 pr 4 years with several different cars and have always had a good experience.
They were courteous and made a reasonable recommendation to replace brake pads.
Yes, changing a battery every 3 years is a very good idea. My battery was getting heavy use in the hot weather so changing at my last maint. Was appreciated
I have been going to see the experts at Bearden's for over 6yrs and they ALWAYS treat me fair, fast and with a reasonably priced service. They do all the service on my 3 cars; Camry (220k miles), Lexus GS430 (177k miles) and our new Sequoia (26k miles). With Bearden's help, I expect to have all 3 cars for a very long time!
The regard for my safety is much appreciated. Working a way to replace a bad radiator while super busy goes above & beyond excellent customer service. Thank you all, especially Pam.
Fast friendly expert service at a great price! Its a pleasure to take my LX470 to Bearden's! I have recommended them to all my Lexus/Toyota owning friends for Service and repairs.
My car was promptly repaired. The staff was very very knowledgeable and helpful!
Always helpful and knowledgeable
