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.

Thankfully, Mullinax Auto and Marine Repair was only a few minutes away, and they completely saved the day! As soon as we arrived, they performed a quick diagnostic on the engine and determined that we needed a radiator replacement. Incredibly, they were able to get the part in stock right away and had the whole thing fixed within just a few hours. The absolute best part of our experience however was the unmatched customer service. When we explained our original vacation plans for the day to the owner, Craig, he went completely above and beyond and personally drove us into town! Thanks to him, our family was still able to grab a wonderful lunch and enjoy some shopping in downtown Dahlonega while the car was being fixed up. Craig and Stacy were incredibly kind, courteous, professional, and so deeply helpful to us when we needed it the most. They turned a stressful breakdown into "a minor bump in the road." They are incredibly honest and the price was very reasonable. Do not hesitate to take your car here for any work you need done, expected or unexpected!

I had used a couple of other small engine repair shops in the Clarkesville area in previous years, but they had been rip-off businesses, hanging on to your machines for weeks and weeks and charging enough to make you wonder why you shouldn't buy a new one! Then comes Tommy at Clarkesville Small Engine. He not only did the job within 90 minutes, he also charged us $20 LESS than the quote (which was in itself, already very reasonable). While your mileage may vary, based on your particular equipment or needs, Tommy is the guy to go see!
