The waiting area was clean and the Customer Bill of Rights regarding emissions testing was prominently displayed, which I read as I waited. The person who served my car was friendly and competent.

Yelp led me to this Dekra location for my latest emissions inspection. The reviews are polarized --…read morea bunch of five-star reviews and a few one and two-star reviews. My three-star rating is because I waited almost 1.5 hours to get my emissions checked here. That's by far the longest I've waited at any emissions place over the last ~25 years. I came here because the place I'd been going to in recent years was temporarily closed. I pulled up to the lot at 2:18pm on an ordinary Thursday. The time printed on my report was 3:39pm. When I pulled up, there were nine cars ahead of me. The cars were packed in and the tail end of my car (just a little bit) was sticking out onto Collier Rd. It wasn't clear where else go to because the Goodwill next door doesn't want Dekra customers in their lot. The guy in the SUV ahead of me got tired of waiting and left. A woman in an SUV behind me looked agitated and annoyed with the wait. If you come here, be prepared to wait. Hopefully, you'll get lucky like some of the other Yelpers here. This is a one-man shop. I was seen by the manager "Mr. Ben" Benjamin Floyd, who's mentioned in many of the reviews. I believe it's just him and one other inspector who works at this location. Mr. Ben is a personality. He's a talker and we hit it off immediately, joking around and shooting the breeze. I could tell he did the same with others ahead of me, because some of their faces lit up, as well as with others who left reviews (hence all the five-star ratings). He runs a tight ship and isn't afraid to put people in their place if they give him a hard time. He is trying to get cars through as fast as he can, but this location is very busy. This is a tiny place. I saw Mr. Ben had a deal where he'll do your emissions test ($25) and install two Rain-X wiper blades for $65. On-site is a porta-john and a quick hand carwash. I saw two small ladies working the carwash on the other side of the emissions testing structure.

The "Deutscher Kraftfahrzeug" is where "DEKRA" comes from. Read their Wiki for some interesting history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekra I had time since I was waiting in line. At the time of writing this review, Dekra has 20 inspection stations in Georgia, all in metro Atlanta: https://www.dekra.us/en/georgia/georgia-inspection-stations/ Mr. Ben told me wait times are much better if you come first thing in the morning: 8am, Monday-Friday and 9am, Saturday-Sunday. He told me this Dekra location was experiencing an unusually higher demand than normal at the time.

This group of guys are just the guys you want to be working on your car. They are knowledgeable,…read morefriendly, and fair. You can tell they not only have 'official training' and all the toys to do a great job on figuring out what is wrong and repairing your car, they have the thing that is harder to measure but much more valuable - experience. They have worked on new cars, old cars, red cars and yellow cars... little humor there. My air condition suddenly stopped working. I was fearful of a big bill. They started with the basics, checking freeon, it was low... so does that mean a leak? Instead of charging me to do all the tests and colored ink to find a leak, they did the simple blow and pressure test, and refilled with freon. So my total was under $200, on what could have been $500 at another garage that was all about testing and labor and driving the invoice up. A week or so later, I started hearing a sound with the air and took it back in. They hooked it up to a machine and did the dye test and refilled with freon again. No charge... 'let's see if it leaks again, if it does, we'll know where". So far so good. I just thought what a great group of regular guys you can trust.

These guys are great. Let me just start off with: They do phenomenal work at very reasonable rates,…read morethey're generous with their time and take responsibility for their work. They are 100% no nonsense. As a walking stereotype of a victim (young/single/female) I am always on the defensive in auto shops, but I've worked a lot on cars from changing a distributor to tearing apart the entire front end of a jeep, so I know nonsense when I hear it. Also, as I have a foreign car, I am particular about who I let work on it (as not all mechanics are familiar enough to do the work efficiently/correctly). These guys completely negate the stereotypical notions of auto shops. They weren't excessively friendly, meanwhile trying to swindle you out of every penny, they were direct, and honest. I like that from a auto repair shop. As long as I am in the ATL area, they will be my go to. One last comment: another review mentioned the state of their establishment as being unsatisfactory. But I appreciate that it is not a posh establishment. If it were, the customer would, in turn, pay for it. They spend money where it counts. Quality mechanics, tools, and parts.
