About Us

You know the best time to learn about a parachute is before you jump from that plane, before the crisis. This site is packed with useful information and how-to tips for almost every problem you’re likely to encounter: every situation requiring a service.

Austin Smart Consumer (ASC) is like having a friend who knows all about plumbing, car repairs, house renovations, tree removal, how to restore furniture---everything there is to know about almost any predicament that requires a service. Unbiased, accurate information. So you can make informed decisions about handyman services, bookkeeping help, computer repairs and a whole lot more.

We want to empower people to do things on their own, and through watching the videos, we believe this can be accomplished. For all those situations in which your own skills may not suffice, we are able to point you in the direction of trusty, local experts.

One of the most important things “about us” is the dynamism of this site. We are always adding new information. Consumers are publishing new reviews in the company ratings section and discussing topics in the community business forums. We are currently building our list of company service providers. And because we live in a world of moving targets, we regularly update our helpful hints and how-to pages. We are creating the most practical resource, the most dynamic resource, for Austin residents available online.
