Our Story
18 Years of Keeping
Austin Moving.
Auto Edge Car Clinic was born out of frustration with the industry. Founder Marcus Rivera spent years watching customers get overcharged and under-informed. In 2006, he opened Auto Edge with a different model: written estimates, honest timelines, and technicians who explain the work in plain English.

What We Stand For
Values That Drive

ASE-Certified Team
Every technician holds ASE certification. We invest in ongoing training so your car gets current expertise.

We quote realistic timelines and stick to them. If something changes, you hear from us before we proceed — not after.
