Hi, I'm Tomas Dalin owner of Ben White Automotive Service Centers. I have been repairing cars since 1978, moved to Austin in 1985 and went to work at Sunbeck Automotive on south Congress. Sunbeck's was one of Austin's oldest and most reputable shops, it was at that time that I became a Master Technician. In 1993 I opened Ben White Automotive on Ben White Blvd. With the increase in complexity of fuel injection and computer controlled emissions I quickly certified as an L-1 Advanced Level Technician. After several years of building a great customer base in south Austin I decided in 2001 to open a second location in north Austin. In January of 2002 Ben White Automotive North opened its doors. All of the employees of Ben White Automotive are friendly, highly experienced professionals who can properly repair and service your car, no gimmicks, no run-around, I guarantee it.
My husband and I have had our 1996 Yukon serviced by the north location of Ben White for the last four years. During that time, we have been quite happy with the service received. Approximately two-three...
