    I had tire issues and had to have them replaced and Brandon who did my tires and brought my car to…read moreme when done was super sweet, friendly and highly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place, I hope to see Brandon again when I bring my vehicle back for service. Maybe next time I will get to chat with him a little more and leave him a bigger tip. I was tempted to stop back by to chat him up. Also, the prices are great too.

    We took my husband's truck for an alignment and a variety of other services totaling over $1700. He…read morewas about to travel for work and wanted to ensure everything would be good for his upcoming trip. Within 500 miles, he had to buy new front end tires (another $600) due to the miscalculation of the alignment. We just bought these tires brand new on March 30th of this year. He also had to pay a different shop to do another, proper alignment, and we've had no issues with the truck since. When he called to tell Turner Tire about it, the woman who answered was very nice and told him to bring the truck in along with the paperwork from the shop that did the second alignment. He did that today and again, she was very nice. However, a man came out to speak with him and basically said too bad. It's the other shop's word against his and he won't do anything about it. So don't go here unless you like wasting money on services and want to buy new tires right after having an alignment. $700 down the drain is an expensive lesson for average people like us.

    Allow me to share a long but very interesting story about my first experience with Mountain…read moreEuropean Auto Repair. My 2008 Porsche Cayman S recently incurred a problem with its Air Oil Separator (AOS) so I parked it pending resolution. Before this could be addressed, the frunk (front trunk) latch mechanism began to click periodically and the frunk (where the battery is located) would no longer open. Shortly thereafter, the battery died and the car would no longer start. I attempted the two emergency opening procedures outlined in the owner's manual (jumper cable to fuse block and release cable inside driver's fender well) but both of those failed. At this point I was faced with a seemingly unsolvable problem. Since I had encountered poor service experiences in years past with 3 different Porsche dealers, a neighbor recommended that I call Dimitri at Mountain European Auto Repair to discuss the Cayman's problems. I was immediately relieved when Dimitri said he was CONFIDENT they could fix everything, so I towed the car to their shop where it was quickly verified that no conventional procedure could be used to open the frunk. He then informed me that they would have to use an "invasive procedure" to gain access to the battery, which would unfortunately damage the hood. I quickly agreed (because the car was basically a door stop at this point) after which Dimitri and Jesse set out to devise a method for safely cutting the hood to access the defective latch without damaging any other components. I was both impressed and comforted by the way they shared their plan IN GREAT DETAIL before proceeding. Since the hood would be damaged by the procedure, they started by sourcing a used replacement hood in great condition that also happened to be the correct color (Midnight Blue Metallic), thereby avoiding repainting costs. Only after the replacement hood was procured did they begin working to access the hood latch mechanism so they could repair it and then service the AOS. After the repairs were completed, they showed me every part that was replaced and told me why. (They also showed me VIDEOS of their hood cutting procedure and explained that the original frunk latch issue was caused by a mouse that had chewed through the insulation of the actuator wiring.) Their work was flawless and my car now looks as though nothing had ever happened to it. And the price I paid was nothing compared to the amount of work and original effort that must have gone into fixing it. I could not imagine a more pleasant experience or a better place to take my European car for repair. Thank you so very much, Dimitri, Jesse and Joanna.

    Wonderful people but...they charged me $2,267 for the replacement of suspension and control arm…read more GPT 3 said the top price for an independent dealer in our zip code should be $1,700. This sentiment was echoed by the next mechanic who, unprompted, remarked that I had been charged a lot for the suspension repair. After getting the van back, my daughter ended up on the side of the road the next day after $3,200 in repairs (oil, battery, filter, suspension, brakes). Brought it back to North Georgia Tire. They repaired the issue, again?, and assured me this time I would have no problem. Last night my daughter ended up broken down again. I've now gone back to my usual auto repair center (Hell on Wheels here in Cleveland, GA). Below is GPT 3 analysis: What a Fair Price Looks Like in 30528 Item Cost (both sides) Notes Control-arm assemblies (incl. ball joints) $280 - $380 aftermarket (e.g., Moog, Dorman)$460 - $550 Toyota OEM Advance lists each arm at $140-$188, so two run $280-$376 Labor to remove & replace 9 - 11 book hours × $95-$110 independent $855-$1,210Dealer rate ($140-$150) $1,350-$1,650 Toyota's factory labor guide logs 10.6 h for both front lower arms Four-wheel alignment $90 - $120 independent$120 - $160 dealer Alignment is strongly recommended after any control-arm change Taxes / shop supplies $70 - $110 GA parts sales-tax 8 % + shop fees Independent shop total: $1,250 - $1,700 Toyota dealer total: $1,900 - $2,500 These figures fall between the national Sienna average of $1,183 - $1,655 and big-city quotes like Los Angeles ($1,987 - $2,874) --reflecting north-Georgia's lower labor rates (typical $75-$130 /hr) . How the Numbers Were Derived 1. Parts: Local retailers (Advance, O'Reilly) price quality aftermarket arms with integrated ball joints at ~$150 each; OEM arms are higher. 2. Labor: Toyota's flat-rate manual assigns ~10-11 hrs for both arms because the engine cradle and sub-frame must be shifted on 2011-2020 Siennas; independent techs sometimes finish faster, but most shops bill book time. 3. Alignment: Replacing the arms changes camber/caster; a 4-wheel alignment protects tires and ensures VSC works properly. 4. Regional variation: RepairPal's generic control-arm range for Cleveland, GA is $744 - $895 (all vehicles) . A Sienna is larger and AWD versions add labor, so the estimate is adjusted upward.

    We were doing research on where to get the best and most economical tires for our Volvo. We went to…read moreSam's, Walmart, Costco and all of the local tire companies here in Cleveland. We couldn't get much help. The people around here didn't want to talk to us. They were too busy, "come back at 1pm I'll try to fit you in," etc. So, defeated, we headed to Gainsville to see if we could be more successful than local which saddened me. We always try to give our business to local but didnt feel that was going to happen that day. We just didn't feel it. Heading out of town on 129 we saw North Georgia Tire along side of the road. I told my husband, 'what did we have to lose' so he turned around and went back. He went in and met with Angie. She said, "Well let me take a look at what you got." We were hoping to just get our tire patched but felt deep down that we could use a new set. She said she could patch it but if we got out on the highway and something happened and that tire popped, she'd have to live with that and she'd never forgive herself. Well that made us feel that she really cared and wasnt just trying to sell tires. North Georgia Tire isn't the cheapest, by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes that's not all there is to life. You can't put a dollar figure on caring about your customer and the passion deep down inside your heart to be the best you can be for them. Customer service is so important in this big bad cold world and Angie showed us a fine example of that. We bought a set of tires that day. Bit into our budget a little more than we expected but that didnt matter. We were happy and we felt secure and confident when we drove out of that parking lot. Thank you Angie. You went over and above for us that day and I'm sure we weren't an isolated case for you. I think it just comes natural. They don't come any better than you and North Georgia Tire. Give them your business folks. You'll be as satisfied as we are, I promise you.
