JIM owes me money too.

by HardworkinGuy at Citysearch

This guy asked for 400 down and guarenteed we could get financed. The next day, after we couldnt get financed, he refused to retun my 400$ because "He spent it".

He promised a return in 14 days with interest.

6 months later.... NO SHOW.

He is a smooth, old conman that is surviving these hard times by SCREWING us that DO work.

send my money.

Don't trust this old man.

Ex-Mechanic, I worked for Jim, he owes me money

by GLew1985 at Citysearch

Okay so I've seen come of the reviews and this is one of the few places that I should of looked at the reviews before I even considered working for him. My employment only lasted about a month when some crack head stole a part I took off and Jim tried to get me to pay for it and I refused. He owed me (still does) $500 plus and would not pay meevev after calling the police and refering him to OSHA. This guy buys the junkest cars in Austin and somehow gets them back on the road, but trust me they should'nt be. Anyway asked me to borrow money the first week he was going to pay me. Who borrows money from there employee? Also I've ran a business myself and anyone else that has would tell you that you pay yourself LAST not first. But as you can see on these reviews he takes a lot of money from people and has to be going somewhere. Well its not in the mechanics pocket I can tell you that. If anyone out there gets screwed by him I can testify any and all things illegal he does. God bless everyone.

Auto Depot's Jim Ernst has always treated me more than fair

by mod girl at Citysearch

I have been going to Auto Depot for about 12 years now, ever since I happened to find Jim Ernst of Auto Depot in the phone book. He asked me to trust him so I gave him a chance and he treated me like family. Jim saved me over $1,000 that I was quoted from someone else to fix my air conditioner. He has always been trust worthy with me. I'm shocked at some of these angry reviews. I just had my car towed there a few weeks ago from a place down south that had quoted me almost $800. Jim had his guys fix it for $260. I'm more than happy to have the extra money in my pocket and my car running great.

Thanks Jim,

I appreciate your help

The Auto Depot Austin CROOKS THIEVES SCUM

by Autodepotsucks at Citysearch

JIm Ernst and Janeth S Ernst own this scam operation. If you want to buy an overpriced used car 'fixed' up by a drug addict go here. If you want to pay FIRST, then get the runaround by Jim Ernst-go to The Auto Depot. 1997 Auto Depot inc. has been blasted by the BBB and has an F rating. He shafts his employees and borrows money from anyone stupid enough to let him. Do a REAL search and check the reviews not posted by his druggie/homeless employees.
