I was in a car accident and did not want to go through insurance. They fixed my vehicle same day and at a cheaper rate than 6 other collision shops I had went to after being told it would be a three day to two week wait from several other collision shops nearby. Recommend 10 out of 10 and this will now be the place I repair all my vehicles! Thanks so much!

Unfortunate occurrences and an ongoing pandemic aside, my car looks better than the day I got it which isnt too long ago. This is my second bad accident this year and hopefully the last for quite some time, but if not, I would return car in tow. Thank you.

I am a repeat customer at Buckhead Auto Center and I love my service every time. I would recommend anyone and everyone to go here. Every time I go, employees go out of their way to make my experience amazing. Today, a nice gentleman named Josh changed my oil. My experience was quick and easy. He changed my windshield wipers and identified areas which I may need to pay attention to in the upcoming months. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

I had a dented bumper and spoiler on my Honda Civic repaired here and couldnt be happier with the result. Maurice is friendly, professional, and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. The dent he pulled out of my car was pretty impressive - I had 3 other reputable places tell me they would have to replace the whole bumper, and I wasnt surprised that they did. But somehow Maurice was able to pull it out, do a fantastic repaint job, and now my car looks like new again.

Maurice was great from start to finish. I have used him several times to fix things on my vehicle. He is honest and genuine. He never over charged me for anything. And figured out ways to save me money but still get the job done. He will be the only person I use to make my repairs going forward.

Ive gone to Larry a couple times now for car-related troubles. Both times, he absolutely went above and beyond to make sure to help me as quickly as possible. He always kept me updated on what was going on, was super friendly, and did his best to keep costs as low as possible. Ill definitely keep going to him and will make sure to refer my friends as well.

(Because we cant give zero or negative stars). They WRECKED MY VEHICLE. Not a ding, or a scratch or a small dent. The entire quarter panel was smashed in when they had it for an oil change, and Larry Johnson has refused to pay for damages or even respond after first acknowledging the incident in email and first saying he would take care of it. His manager on duty acknowledged the obvious damage when I picked up the truck, and his demeanor showed that he did not care a bit. It was almost as if was just business as usual there. He did not even offer to call Larry to let him know of the significant damage. That is not all! The same time I took another vehicle (SUV) in for A/C work, battery and an oil change. After an initial inspection, Larry called and gave me very specific details on what needed to be done and the cost of each separate item. I approved the work. When I picked it up, the bill was over $200 more. It turned out that in addition to obviously padding the labor they tried to charge me $100 or so for rotating tires. Tires were never a part of ANY discussion. In fact, the tires were fairly new (which is obvious) and had about 5K miles. This was an obvious attempt to pad the bill (and I don’t assume the new tires were actually rotated). The same manager had no explanation for any of this and did not even say a word as I demanded changes. He just looked down. Finally, before they wrecked my truck they offered, and I accepted, a $90 detail. The “detail” was, at most, a quick wash and polish that lasted a week. They did not even touch the interior. Maybe they were going to get to that before they wrecked it. As I type this, a lawsuit is on its way to Larry Johnson. I gave him a couple weeks to make it right and his response is to ignore it. He can now pay a lawyer or higher insurance, in addition to me. These issues are not failed repairs or parts, or merely a bill higher than expected. It is a pattern and practice.

I have needed a lot of work on my 98 Toyota Corolla, and by far Larrys Place has been the best place I have been to, and the only place I will go to from now on. When I first visited his fine establishment, it was on a friends recommendation and I needed my alternator replaced. Sure the price was great, but most importantly, him and his staff are the most personable, honest, and accommodating people that I have had the pleasure to deal with. I always recommend him to my all my friends whenever they have an auto issue. This is really a once in a life-time place with wonderful values and an enormous amount of care put into their customer service!

I have been going to Larry Johnsons Buckhead Auto Center for about 6 years now and I have never been disappointed in the service and quality of work that they offer. They are proactively able to diagnose issues and get repairs done in a reasonable amount of time. Prices are reasonable and competitive with other local repair shops. Larry cares about his customers and goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.

Review №18

Had my car in his shop for over a week. It was returned late, damaged, and incomplete. A list of empty promises later maurice refused to pay or fix the damage or reimburse me for the extra time and work I had to spend. I’ve lost an extra 68% in repairs on top of what I already paid. I would give 2 stars instead of 1 is because he used to run a good ship, but those days seem to be long gone (back in 2017 was my last visit prior to this). He’s serviced 4 of my cars and referrals. I will not be referring anymore, or wasting time dealing with someone who’s regressed to an amateur. He’s lost his best employees as well. Bummer.

Buckhead Auto Center has always been great to me! Always super nice on the phone when I call to make a reservation and are always trying to get me in as quick as possible! Def ask for JOSH to work on your car! He is nice, passionate about cars, does a great job and always honest about what your car needs! Def a good thing for girls! I always request him when I get my car serviced!

Larry did a great job on my Cadillac Esclade. He did what he said he was going to do and ordered the part I need for my car. Then when I showed up to bring him my car he remembered my name and had everything ready ready to go. He was $30 cheaper than everybody else and did the work better and more thorough than any other mechanic I have ever been too. It was a pleasure doing business with Larry and he knows so much about cars. He was very personable, honest, and gave me a great deal for the work he did. I will definitely be recommending all of my family and friends to him in the future. He is truly a mechanic you can trust and rely on!

Larry Johnson has never disappointed me. He cares about you, your car and his work. He has done several jobs on my Lincoln Towncars from air conditioning to dent removal. Prices are fair and work is done in a timely manner. The new shop is just around the corner and much easier to find than the old shop. He truly is a mechanic you can trust.

Larry Johnson and his Buckhead Auto Staff, have always been kind, courteous, and FAIR. I can ALWAYS depend on Larry to give me a competitive quote, dispel my (cost) anxieties, repair my vehicle(s) AND stand by his work. The shop has great work ethic. Thank you for being personable, yet honorable.

Larry Johnsons Buckhead Auto Center is one of the best auto repair shops in town and I know sometimes they get busy...but thats because everyone knows this and takes their cars there! I have called last minute for little emergencies a couple of times and always the answer is come on by. Larry does his best to make sure he can take care of everyone and if sometimes he is unable to accurately give me a wait time I am cool with it because I know if I need him in a jam I can rely on him. Seriously I would rather wait a little for someone to give me an auto repair major or minor that I can trust than a guaranteed wait time for some possibly sketchy work.

Absolutely the BEST place to go to in the Atlanta area - they truly value customer service! They did a great job, at a great price, and didnt charge me for the first visit when I came in with the wrong replacement part! Friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help - the ONLY place I will take my car from now on!

I recently moved to Atlanta, and needed a mechanic. Larry Johnson was the first one I tried, and I was very thankful. The shop has friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable service. I like the new location, too! It is closer to food and things to do while you wait for your car repairs.

Great customer service and really nice people. Larry even re-open the store an hour after closing because I was late to pick up my car.I came in for a flat tire fix, and they replaced both front tires because the ones I had was over 5 years old. Prices were reasonable and the job was fast and good.

Changing my review....I now own a brand new Jeep and I will take it here over the dealership. I trust them...period. They have been consistent and reliable going on 7 years now for me as a customer. Even when something goes wrong as usually does with cars, they fix the problem and come up with satisfactory solutions. I dont feel talked down to or like I am being taken to the cleaners because I am a woman and do not understand cars much. Trust is important to me and I trust them...end of story!

I needed a tire and fast. Hiram (hope I spelled it right) helped me out and didnt pressure me into anything. Replaced my tire and put it on in under a hour at a good price. Found this place when I searched tires buckhead and the reviews sounded good so I thought Id try them. Glad I did, thanks.

Thieves with a big smile.Short Story:-Took my car in for jerking issues.-Larry told me my car was acting up because I had aftermarket parts on it, and I needed dealer parts.-Car had worse jerking AFTER they worked on it-Was charged for dealer parts-Parts were actually from AutoZone-I confronted Larry. Larry refunded me for parts and labor-A reputable shop later found the issue was a rusted electrical wire. Replaced for under $100.Long Story:Took my car in for jerking issues. I told Larry about my previous experience with shops not fixing my cars problems, instead charging me for TRYING to fix the issue. He assured me he would not give me my car back until it was fixed.They installed new engine mounts and charged way too much labor. Takes literally 5 minutes and 4 bolts to replace these.When I came in to pick up my car it jerked worse than before. Larry recommended I give them another chance to fix the issue. He was not willing to refund me for the incorrect diagnosis and unnecessary work.The parts still had stickers on them with part numbers. I googled the part numbers and it turned out the parts were from AutoZone. I went back to the shop and confronted Larry, he blamed another employee at the shop. I was refunded.They will not let you look at your car while they work on it and show you exactly what is broken/needs replaced. Every reputable shop Ive worked with allows you to see your car on the lift before they work on it, so you can see exactly what the issue is.Stay far away from these over priced thieves. Do not believe these fake positive reviews.

Fair warning: Do some research before spending your money here. Keep records of the quotes given vs the bills received. They are local and available almost on call but if you do not understand cars and mechanical systems then AVOID this shop. They will take advantage of the uneducated customer and smile while doing it. Make sure to have them prove the repair and explain the work/show replaced parts. Their invoice system is ancient and lacks any details. Just a bunch of rough guys trying to make it

Review №43

They charge $90 just to look at your car; even if you dont need anything done to it, youll still get charged. The guy there told me that I needed new bearings in my engine for my 99 Mitsubishi Montero Sport or my engine was going to fall out. Well, one of my friends knows a mechanic that fixed my car for $500 and told me someone put my belts on wrong. Nothing was wrong with my engine! Then the guy there had the nerve to ask me if I was going to sell my car and he would buy it with a broke engine for $500. These people are con artist. Go somewhere else.

If I could give Larry at Buckhead Auto Care 6 stars, I would. I called Buckhead Auto Care as I was on my way to take my car to another, closer shop to get the rear brakes done. He quoted me a way better price than the other shop, and said that he would include an oil change as well. I brought it over to him in the late afternoon and told him that it may need a brake fluid flush as well, and if it did need it to go ahead and do it. I picked it up the next morning; the brake job and oil change were done perfectly, they had done the fluid flush as it was quite dirty, and the car was returned to me with both the exterior and interior cleaned. The fluid flush, brake job, and oil change still came in at less than the nearest competitor had quoted me for the brake job alone. Larry is a stand-up guy and Ill be taking my BMW 135i to him with all my automotive needs. Cant recommend this place enough.

Where do I start.. Larry is a true FAMILY man. Meaning, he treats his customers as if they are his kin. Thats the vibe I get everytime.I had 1996 Lincoln Town Car, needed an engine replacement. Most shops said it was worthless and a waste of time and money, but at Buckhead AutoCenter, they seen the potential and since then, my car has been running like new. Ive had a few major jobs done here and theyve always been very prompt in completing the job and always make sure its done right. The honesty here is amazing, Its a huge weight off my shoulders knowing I can go somewhere without getting ripped off in some way.

I had a Groupon for an oil change to Buckhead Auto and I got just that. Usually, one of those deals has the place telling you that something is dreadfully wrong with your car and if you dont fork over $500, its unlikely your car will get you home. Nope. They handed me my keys and thanked me for my business. HONEST REPAIR SHOP!!!
