Default ATX Scion mechanic

Okay so I bought the car back in March and have already put 11,000 miles on my poor car. So I went in for my third oil change and my first tire rotation. I went to Charles Maund Toyota because that's the dealership where I bought it. Anyway, I get the car back and while on the road notice my tire pressure light on. So I called them the next day when they opened up and they basically gave me the "you're a stupid girl, what are you talking about" attitude and told me to reset the light. So I hit the reset button in the glove box. Sure enough about 5 miles down the road the thing comes back on. So then I pull over, thinking well maybe i am a stupid girl and maybe I need to put more air in my tires. Did that and the freakin' light turns on for a third time. So this morning I am just furious and drove over first thing this morning. So of course we go through the whole thing over again. "have you hit the reset button?" "Yes multiple time." "Well I'm going to drive your car around and see if it comes back on after I reset it." "Fine." So sure enough as I guessed they screwed up the sensor so they had to go and readjust the stupid thing. For FREAKING CRYING OUT LOUD. So all that said, anybody in Austin have a good mechanic?

Goto Champion. They've always taken great care of me, and others. Both sexes.

Plus, the mechanics are open until midnight on weekdays.


Champion Scion is on the motor mile off of 1-35
