Reliable, nice and knowledgable professionals. Highly recommended. Been here with 3 different cars for different issues amd/or mnt with no issues. read more

I had a very disappointing and disturbing experience with this RepairPal-certified shop. I brought my vehicle in for diagnosis of an ongoing "Engine Maintenance Required" issue and paid a diagnostic fee. I was told the problem was due to the original filters that came with the car, so they replaced both the engine air filter and cabin air filter. However, the actual issue with the vehicle was not properly identified or resolved. After the unprofessional service, the "Engine Maintenance Required" message continued to appear on my dashboard, and I was not given a clear explanation for why it was still showing. I still had to take the vehicle elsewhere for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. I would advise others to be cautious with this shop, as in my experience they did not address the root cause of the problem and focused mainly on basic maintenance without resolving the actual issue. read more

Since we had our big freeze in Atlanta, my windshield wiper fluid was no longer spraying on my windshield. I have been putting off going to see a mechanic, but today I passed in front of Atlanta car care, Andy greeted me, and he took care of my problem in about 10 minutes. He was absolutely fantastic, very professional, I'm very thankful that he was able to fix my problem and I cannot thank him enough. read more

great service from patrick! he was able to diagnose and fix my kia soul all in a day's work. he gave me an honest price and i will definitely be returning! read more

I came here for an oil change but this place was backed up on work. I will not penalize a company for having a lot of customers. It is best to call ahead and set an appointment. Also, this place has a sign up front that says "Be prepared to leave your car here for hours". read more

These guys really care! My mom takes her car to Patrick, the owner, because it is very close to where she lives. She decided to have her 2007 Chrysler Sebring Convertible updated to surprise my son with his first vehicle. Patrick and his crew did an amazing job! Knowing that my 83 year old mom and I were going to take a road trip from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale to deliver this car, he and his team made it their priority to ensure "lil Red" was in tip-top shape. She drove like a dream the nearly 700 miles of our trip. Now my son is the proud owner of his very first vehicle, and a convertible at that! I feel so safe knowing it was Atlanta Car Care that took care of us and also that my mom has a tried and trusted local mechanic. Thanks guys!! read more

I wish I could give no stars. Went to them for my driver rear window. I already had the part for it that a mechanic friend recommended from amazon that was a match. Talked to Patrick and convinced him into letting them install it because he stated he doesn't install parts he doesn't provide. Which I understood. The part didn't fit & they sent me an estimate for 394 including their part. I did not go forward and was charged 192.14 for labor , shop supplies etc which he stated took 2 hours & that I didn't want it inspected I wanted the part installed & that's what he did and took it out when it didn't fit. Just because it's more expensive doesn't mean better. I went directly to another shop 20 mins later down the street they took my door panel off quite frankly for FREE to inspect my door and in 10 minutes to look at it and see what the issue was and what I needed to do to go forward, addressed it and ordered the part. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL especially if you're trying to save a few bucks AND time, got my part ordered for tomorrow gave a price that was significantly lower (245) and I was there 38 MINUTES! I'll end up still paying more than 394 but I would rather give my money to a mechanic shop that is considerate than these people. read more

DO NOT GO TO HERE. I wuod give 0 stars if I could. When I took my car here and the airbag light was NOT on, however when I picked it up the airbag light was on and now they want to charge me $400 to turn a warning light off that THEY turned on!. They are super dishonest in this shop, the techs dont know what they are doing, and you will probably get your car back with more issues than when you give it to them. The people in this shop are liars, dishonest, and try to get over on people, especially women! Save yourself the headache and just go somewhere else. Maybe even try Katherines Car Repair on Piedmont. Ive been there before and I regret not taking my car there again. This place was a little closer so I tried it. Big mistake! Just go somewhere else! read more

They are amazing! Im a student on a budget and they have been super cheap and super timely Not to mention they do a good job. I've taken my car to other shops who they say they will fix it and it just lays around for a week then they call me to say "hey we looked at it and it will cost 2k for new engine mounts but if you pass it's $400 for the time." Then take it to Atalanta car care first thing in the morning and they literally called me up 4 hours later saying "hey it's going to be 1k for the engine mounts and a new radiator also it should be ready by 4pm" read more

Came here to have my spark plugs changed. Service took a few hours and was considerably less than what the dealership quoted me.

If i could give less than 1 star I would! 2/13/24 My daughter went there and was charged for an oil change. 2/18/24 I check her oil and it was dirty. I personally change her oil and it was pitch black and never changed, neither was the filter. I guess they thought, since her tags are out of state, they could get over by robbing her. THANKFULLY I checked before driving 1,000 miles north or we'd be getting towed off interstate 95 somewhere. Save your money and find a place that doesn't take advantage of women. read more

John is up front & honest when it comes to repairs. He's straight to the point, & gets your car in & out quick. I was worried about a transmission issue, & he determined it was a faulty battery, which when replaced, had the car running as good as new. All in under 24 hours! No hassle, no nonsense. Just honest auto mechanic work! So glad I chose to use Atlanta Auto Care! I will DEFINITELY be back! read more

I really appreciate the service I received at Atlanta Car Care Auto Shop. My 1998 Toyota Rav4 is running better than ever and this horrible noise that was coming from my car every time I stopped is gone. Toyota service center didn't even do that for me. I still have many other repairs that are needed, and I will soon be headed right back to Atlanta Car Cate to have each and every one of them done. The customer service and attention to detail are perfect and they didn't price gouge me like I get every time I take my car back to the Toyota service center, I really appreciate that!!!! read more

I've trusted my car to ACC for a while now. They are honest and I don't feel pressured to fix issues that aren't dire.

I called before I brought my car in and spoke to the associate on the phone who told me to bring my car in and he fully explained that I would need to leave it (no waiting room access due to COVID-19 protection measures) and that he couldn't tell me how long until they took a look. I appreciated his transparency. I dropped it off and less than 15 minutes later, I received a call with my "diagnosis," a time estimate (that ended up being longer than it actually took), and a price estimate (that ended up being spot on to the cent). I was told it would be ready to pick up the next morning but to my surprise, they called back in another 15 or 20 minutes and said it was done! I went to pick it up and the associate carefully explained what they did and advised me on anything I should look for or be careful with then I was on my way. Two days later, they called to check up on the service and make sure everything was running smoothly! I've never had quicker service and it was extremely refreshing that the employees of this business actually cared about me as a customer and the work they did. I would HIGHLY recommend taking your car here for service and I am so happy I found a new place to go that doesn't give me the run around like so many places can. read more

If I could give a zero star I would recently I went and staff gave bad attitude didn't receive no type of help never go to this place very bad service and over expensive read more

Fast and professional service. Didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of. I'll be back.

Just moved from Minnesota to Atlanta when our truck brakes started singing the song of their people. Unfortunately, it was a metal-on-metal song. John was able to get me in right away and was very kind to explain a few things in terms that I understood. He gave me a thorough list of recommendations and did not pressure me when I decided to wait on a few items. He is knowledgeable, fair, and takes time to make sure you are satisfied. Good experience. read more

Great shop; helpful and friendly. They always follow up a few days after the work is completed to check how things are going and if you are experiencing any issues. Highly recommended! read more

Please don't come here if you are or any ethnicity than white. I stopped by with a friend to get her tire looked at. He refused service to us saying that he had no one to look at the tire. Keep in mind when we pulled in he was on a computer and another employee was on his phone. They were not working on any cars. He was very rude and his face was covered in disgust. He really hurt my friends feelings and when i expressed to him that he was coming off racist he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care and we could leave. read more

The service and care given at Atlanta Car Care is outstanding! John was honest, gave great advice and the work Philip did on my car has it feeling brand new! I highly recommend, and will definitely take my car there in the future! read more

It's a bit hit or miss with service here. I've come here a few times to get my oil changed and it's very cheap, convenient, and super quick! However, I recently went in to get an oil change in addition to getting my spark plugs replaced and my engine stalled on idle a few hours after I got my vehicle back. When I went to pay and showed them my coupon for service, they did not seem happy and one of the workers muttered under his breath. As a woman, my experience has been that most car places can be intimidating if you don't know your stuff completely and with that attitude, I was too nervous to say anything. I also noticed my engine more jumpy than usual as well so I took it back in a week later. This time, the older man was very patient with me and listened to everything I was saying, even if I was describing the slightest thing wrong in words that may not be normally used because I was nervous. He sat in my car and told me nothing seemed to be wrong but to come back if I experience any more problems. He even assured me that there's nothing wrong with bringing in my car with any questions I have. So that experience made up for the earlier time. I'll definitely come back here for oil changes and other more simple repairs. read more

Ray and Tiffany took great care of my car/ They cleaned it from stop to bottom and made it look brand new. They even shampooed the rugs and steam cleaned the engine. The car looks like it just came off the lot. read more

I do not trust this mechanic. The first time I went in, John Spilane (I believe he is the owner) quoted me one price for an oil change and then when I picked it up, he made me pay almost double the price because he was not aware about my engine oil requirements. I figured my first experience could have been an honest mistake so I gave it another try. I went back when my car reminded me that I was due for a routine brake fluid change. I told the worker Frank about the issue and I dropped my car off. A few hours later I get a call telling me that they diagnosed my car and that I need a more than $2000 repair. John goes on to tell ask me if I knew how important a Yaw sensor or something along those lines was. I told him that I only wanted the brake fluid changed and he said they didn't have time to do that service but I owed him about $150 for the diagnostics. I took my car and did not come back. I got my brake fluid changed elsewhere and I have not had any problems with my car since that time more than six months ago. I don't know if it was them intentionally trying to make money off of me or if they just use the diagnostic machine to find a problem without thinking or listening to the customer. I'm sure they are able to do repairs, but I will not trust them with my service again. read more

The work they did on my hub assembly looks to have been done properly and in a very timely manner. However one of the mechanics put a Brake pad ON BACKWARDS!! I called to see what John wanted to do about it and he said he wanted me to drop my truck off again so he can see what's wrong. I already told him what was wrong and I had already put on new brakes myself. I drive Lyft and can't afford to leave my truck for a day. If I have to replace the rotor because the backwards brake cause to much damage that's going to suck. Not sure if mechanics do this on purpose to get you back in the shop or not, but it's brakes. Very Basic to get wrong!!! read more

I've always had fast reliable service at Atlanta Car Care. We're on the third car we've taken there and have received fast diagnostics, quotes and service. John doesn't suffer fools lightly which makes complete sense in his line of work, but doesn't come up with other random "problems" like other less scrupulous car shops do. Super convenient location too on Buford Highway. read more

I just got my car repaired at Atlanta Car Car, and I feel like I have been ripped off as to the price. My check engine light was on and I had gone to Auto Zone and received the diagnostic code PO193 which also stated Fuel Pressure Sensor High Input Since the car was running fine I was pretty sure it was a faulty sensor, but they had no interest in listening to me when I brought this up. He shut me down the minute I said something about the code. While not ideal I understand that people come in all the time thinking they know whats wrong, but don't...I'm down with that. It was when I went line by line on the invoice that I have a big problem. I got ripped off. Remove & replace fuel Pressure Sensor...$325.44 (also * indicated shop supplies though that isn't broken down) New Pressure sensor...1 unit $201.71 (again the * not broken down and indicated tax with this item *S) Intake Manifold set...$56.05 (again with the *S supplies and added tax) There was also a 98.42 charge for diagnostics (but again with the *...what shop supplies are needed to plug into the onboard computer?). I'm not going to quibble with this one Now I have researched this online and the fuel sensor everywhere I looked listed this as between $200-$240 WITH LABOR...even some dealerships!! So 325.44 remove and replace sensor...is that just labor? Obviously not because there were shop supplies added. The highest price I saw for this online was around $400 for the whole thing. They are pretty obviously double billing for this. I found a video that goes step by step on how this repair is done. No shop supplies outside of the actual sensor should have been needed. Then at the bottom it says Total Parts $257.76 Total Labor $423.66 How in Gods name does that make any sense with the above numbers!!! There is obvious double billing going on here or some faulty software. If you need an oil change, they are fine for that, but I would avoid letting them do anything else. I'd like to think this is a mistake, and if so hopefully it can be rectified, but I seriously doubt it. This seems rather intentional. I'm guessing lots of people just dont look to see if it makes any sense. I should have done more research before bringing my car there. Learn from my mistake and save yourself some money. read more

My truck was leaking water and water pump was making a noise. Saw the reviews on Yelp and a friend recommended that I take my truck to Atlanta Car Care. I've been in Atlanta for 2 years and could never find a good mechanic. Took my truck in on Monday afternoon and John and his team were able to diagnose the problem. I was very satisfied with the service I received at Atlanta Car Care. I'll definitely bring my truck back to them for an oil change and any other truck repairs. Awesome service!!!!! Doug read more

Unfortunately first & last time [may be never return ] Very Bad experience, I got with Atlanta car care. [ Specially Staff & their overcharging Quotes.] come on friends... $1880 you quotes for ELV problem, and when I say this is too much the same part is available online [ just $ 65 ] & i am not willing to fix my car here , you charge me $ 190 additional... [ even you are not giving me any slip for that work, and I pay twice for car lifting truck due to all this ] and same work I have finish by other outlet just $ 350. how can it big difference [ please don`t tell me Chinese parts & all ]... and yes My car is working well without any problem. Thank God for my right design. very bad experience & rude behavior by phone attendant.. !! never come back , I saw few more reviews of over charging of quotes. ---------- Carla M. 7218852 Elite '18 1/4/2018 I hate being taken advantage of, especially when I am a routine customer. I previously wrote a rave review on how this shop has fair prices and I didn't feel taken advantage of. Well, New Year, New review! I came in because I was told I needed a wheel bearing changed. I told them too. Frank had a tech look at my car and after spinning the wheel he confirmed I needed one wheel bearing. The owner, Then quotes me $770!?! I found the same part online for much less and ordered from Auto Zone, used a coupon and paid $189. Then I found another mechanic change it, again for a whole lot less than $770. To add insult, I was charged $47 just for the tech to spin the wheel lol. It must've been a slow day. I won't be back ever again. read more

Everyone here was so helpful! I'm new to Georgia and had never had an emissions test done. I failed the emissions test due to my catalytic converter, so I needed to fix it before I could apply for my Georgia tag. When I requested an estimate, a member of Atlanta Car Care was quick to respond and to let me know when I could bring my car in to the shop. I shopped around a bit afterwards, but no other place responded as quickly or in as much detail as ACC did. Two days later, I was greeted when I dropped off the car (Frank, I believe was his name? I apologize if I'm incorrect), and he was very friendly. I asked him if they would look at my brakes as well (they were squealing and another place could not explain why), and he said they would. My car was fixed before the end of the day which was exactly what I had been told in the estimate. John explained what they had done with my car, broke down the expenses in my bill (which matched my estimate excluding taxes), and told me how to drive my car for the next few days to properly prepare my car for my next emissions test. He even showed me what they had taken off my car and what everything was on the part. When I was preparing to leave, Phillip told me that he had fixed my brakes and explained why they had been squealing (apparently they were dirty and just needed a good cleaning; why another shop couldn't figure this out is beyond me). Long story short, my whole experience here was outstanding from beginning to end, and I'll definitely be returning here for any other car issues I may have in the future. In fact, I'll be back in a few days to make sure my car is ready to pass an emissions! Highly recommend to everyone who needs car maintenance and repair! read more

John and his team (primarily Richard) recently restored our 1985 Volkswagen Westfalia. The restoration included engine replacement, fuel system, brakes and related mechanical and electrical components, and required specialized knowledge and resourceful acquisition of parts. Throughout the process, John kept us informed of repair options, costs and progress. Completion required patience on both sides (due mainly to difficulties in sourcing parts), but the final product was worth the wait. Richard's expertise and resourcefulness amazed us, and we were so happy to find him after much fruitless searching for a mechanic with skills and experience related to our vintage vehicle. John's honesty, integrity, knowledge, thoroughness and pride in his business were evident to us from the start and contributed to a great customer experience for my wife and me.

Really? I'm driving down Buford Highway and a tire blows out. Thankfully, (I thought) this place was right there, practically across from where I was going. So I pulled into the parking lot and ask the guy if he would be willing to put the spare on for me. He say yes, but we charge $15 to change a tire. Really? Well me with my smart mouth says, you aren't changing a tire, you are putting on a spare. Well in his even smarter mouth, he says, well you can always call your roadside assistance if you want someone to do it for free. Touche. So, I had over my debit card and get charged $15 to have someone put on a spare. I could have called roadside assistance, but thinking it would have taken them an hour to get here, i just paid the guy, hopped back in my car and crossed Buford Highway to go to my office. After I got here, I thought I'm going to be a work for the next 8 hours, I really could have called my roadside assistance and saved $15. Lesson learned. Even if I had considered going here before I wouldn't now. When a man charges a woman $15 to put on a spare tire, he's no man in my opinion. read more

I had a pre-purchase inspection scheduled at this mechanic. Unfortunatley, it did not work out and did not get the vehicle looked at because the dealer changed their mind last minute and would not let the vehicle be looked at. After a conversation between myself, John and the dealer, John told me to walk away from the deal because it seemed so shady they wouldn't let the vehicle be inspected. Obviously, John lost out on earnings because I didn't need the inspection anymore, but that goes to show that he is an honest man. I definitely will come to this place based on that interaction when I need any mechanical work done or a pre-purchase inspection. read more

I have been taking my car there for some years. At times if I get a coupon I go elsewhere and then that other place will take much longer as they go all over looking for issues that may, or may not be real. I find most places have an unwritten rule that you wont get out of there for ANYTHING without them walking in and sitting down with you and laying out something you gotta do now. Not here. I can go in for an oil change and they do it quick with no fishing around to find something else to sell me. Rather than one price for the oil change the board lists six different options too. The basic is $17.95 They used to have online coupons on the website but those are fewer now. I can also take Marta train to Lindbergh and get the free bus transfer there to pick up the car or VV to get home. They offer to take me to Lindbergh Marta too if I want. For those that wish, a waffle house is right next door. They post prices online for standard things and have a print out price list on the desk. The dealership gave me a list of must do items and a price to do it all and I went here and the cost was about 40% less. I have been very pleased here and I believe they treat the customers right which is often rare in auto repair places. read more

My vehicle was towed to the shop because we had used the service before. When I called to ask about the diagnostic I was told they do not know but I owe them $200. I can't believe the lack of help. It was as if they did not want to help us. I have never been so disrespected by a service provider. So disappointed. I do not have $200 with no diagnostic for my vehicle. read more

I took some time before completing this review as I wanted to be certain that there were no issues with the repair made to my vehicle. I went in thinking I needed one thing, and they discovered it was something else. They notified me before making the repair and were clear about the costs. I'll use them again for sure. read more

So here is where the owner had us waiting outside at the dentist place next door!!! I had the owner tell me it didn't make sense for me and my fiancé to wait in his shop to get our car fixed ! He suggested we ordered a Uber or had someone pick us up when we were willing to wait hours for our CAR to get fixed since it was just less of a hassle WHY would someone refuse to let us wait ??? when we are paying over 500 to fix something so simple I would stay away from John and his shop they lack in costumer service I guess they don't like YOUNG INTERRACIAL COUPLES the service ended up taking 2 hours !!! Not the 5 that was quoted I payed 570 for shifted cable on my fiat 500 a classic mistake of listening to the "good" reviews I should have been more aware of the discrimination I could face coming to a place like this.... don't fall for the reviews!!! Very unhappy costumer never again be aware read more

Overall, I was ok with the price. But I didn't appreciate the service they provided. We spoke to the owner and agreed to have them do oil change, tire rotation, brake pads & rotors changes, and brake fluid and he provided the price breakdown and total. I also asked about the air bag light and he said that they were able to turn it off, but if it could be a sensor issue and better to take it to the dealer. He didn't mention anything about the price for the airbag in the price breakdown and total. Then when we picked up the car, the receptionist told us that they only did the oil change and tire rotation. We said we asked all the brake things and that was the main purpose. He spoke with the technician and he said he changed the break pads and rotors. So the receptionist added it to the price. But when we got a receipt, it showed that air bag diagnostics of $113, which we didn't agree them to do or the owner didn't tell us the price when he walked us through the price breakdown. Besides brake fluid was added as "deferred service", which we asked them to do and included in the price breakdown. But apparently they didn't do. We complained it again and the technician said he did. At that point, I didnt know what they actually have done and didn't do and even the price was accurate. I was not happy but I just left. read more
