Hear from Our Customers
When your car runs properly, everything else in your day flows smoother. You’re not wondering if that noise means trouble or if you’ll make it to work tomorrow. You’re not calculating repair costs in your head during meetings.
That’s what proper auto repair gives you – peace of mind and reliability. Your transmission shifts smoothly. Your brakes respond when you need them. Your engine starts every morning without drama.
No more crossing your fingers when you turn the key. No more emergency roadside calls that mess up your schedule. Just dependable transportation that gets you where you need to go.
We’ve been serving Watkinsville and the greater Athens area for years as a family-owned shop that actually cares about getting it right. Our team includes Master ASE Certified technicians with over 30 years of combined experience.
We’re not some corporate chain where you’re just another ticket number. We know our customers by name and remember what work we’ve done on their vehicles. That personal touch matters when you’re trusting someone with your biggest investment after your home.
Watkinsville drivers choose us because we specialize in everything from daily drivers to classic muscle cars, and we back our work with warranties that actually mean something – like our 18-month unlimited mileage guarantee on transmission rebuilds.
We start with a thorough diagnostic inspection to figure out exactly what’s wrong – not what might be wrong or what could eventually become a problem. Our technicians use professional-grade diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the actual issue.
Once we know what needs fixing, we explain it in plain English and give you a written estimate before any work begins. No surprise charges, no “while we’re in there” upsells unless you specifically ask for them.
Our Master Certified technicians handle the repairs using quality parts, then perform a final inspection to make sure everything meets our standards. You get a detailed explanation of what was done and why, plus your complimentary exterior car wash before you drive away.

These aren’t just feel-good promises – they’re backed by our commitment to doing the job right the first time and using quality parts that last.

Simple services like oil changes and brake inspections usually take 1-2 hours. More complex repairs like transmission work or engine diagnostics can take 1-3 days depending on parts availability and the extent of the work needed.
We give you realistic timeframes upfront and call if anything changes. For major repairs, we can often arrange temporary transportation or work with your schedule to minimize inconvenience.
Every completed service includes a complimentary exterior car wash, so your vehicle looks as good as it runs when you pick it up. We want you to drive away satisfied with both the repair work and the overall experience.
