This location is right next door to the Austell tag office. According to the associate (Ben), as of…read moreJuly 10, 2024, they have only been open for 2 months. Interior / Exterior The exterior seemed clean and I didn't venture inside. They are in that little building formerly occupied by Community of Faith Church, Not sure what's down the road that runs alongside the spot, but when I got ready to leave there were tons of cars extending back down the street. Luckily, a friendly motorist waved me in so I was able to pull out fairly quickly. Customer Service Ben was nice. Chatty and pretty aggressive sales wise. It didn't bother me at first, because I'm from the country but he is definitely very informal with his customers. I can't get mad because he definitely told me about some discounts I wouldn't known about otherwise - but I'm warning you to be prepared for him to REALLY try to get you to buy some windshield wipers. I explained to him, when I called yesterday, that I was on a budget because I inherited some vehicles that could not yet be sold due to probate and I was dealing with having to pay insurance and keep them tagged and titled. Their regular non-discounted price at this location is currently $20. Ben said the other locations, like Atlanta Rd are $25. I also like the fact that there is no surcharge if you're using plastic to pay. But what I didn't love is that I told him 4 separate times that I wasn't interested in purchasing wipers because I don't even drive this car. Then when I looked the blades up on Amazon, Dekra's RainEx blade price was $11 higher ($22 total). He would not let up. He kept on about how quick it would be, how he hated to see a $100K vehicle with crappy blades and how it really pissed him off. When I told him that I didn't think blades were even visible, he said he always notices blades. When that didn't work - he beat me over the head with the fact that he'd given me a discount on the emissions test AND he was willing to nearly match the Amazon price on the blades. Honestly, I felt guilt-tripped and I was ready to get the heck out of there because I had two more vehicles to get done, so I just said ok. Keep in mind, once I got all 4 vehicles tested, I had to spend over $1800 at the tag office because one of these cars is apparently NOT depreciating like normal. Laughing / crying emoji. I respect the hustle and I'm sure Ben is a nice guy, but I definitely felt the sales thing was way to aggressive. For that reason alone, I wound up taking the other two cars elsewhere. See other reviews. Price Value I already mentioned the $20 regular price but it might change to $25 in the future according to Ben (to match the other Dekra centers). Deliberately not mentioning my discounted price, but be sure to ask whether they have any military or first responder discounts. Personally, I feel like they will keep the $20 price because Austell Emissions (4612 -3 Austell Rd), located right next door on the other side of the tag office charges $18 for cash / $18.72 for card and Lincoln Emissions (4968 Austell Rd) charges $18 as well. Fuerza Latina Insurance (4788 Austell Rd) also charges $18. Overall Overall, I would go back - but only when I know Kimberlee or another associate is gonna be there. Ben is too hard to refuse / say no to. Lol.

The first two times I tried to stop by, they were closed. I found out later at least one of those instances was due to a funeral. Since there's no identifying signage (unless I'm overlooking it), I was unable to find a phone number for them to call to check their hours. The other day, when I tried to stop by, their machine was broken but I was persistent and was finally able to get it done. (One of our cars is in 'storage' and I don't feel comfortable driving it too far away from the house. To avoid the hassle of calling the insurance company and taking it out of storage mode, I wanted to take it here since this spot is less than 1/16th of a mile from my house.) Afterwards, I took my other cars to a different testing center because the prices are cheaper. They don't offer military discounts or multi-vehicle discounts or cash payment discounts - so I'm able to save $15 ($5 per vehicle) by taking the other cars to the to other testing center. I'm giving them 4 stars because the associates were friendly. Deducting stars because pricing could be more competitive and they're kinda hard to reach. *Before anyone messages me saying that if I can afford multiple cars then I shouldn't be trying to get any discounts ... please remember that not everyone with a bunch of cars actually purchased them. Lol. Thanks to Georgia law - I have several cars and a trailer that I have to keep tagged, titled and insured even though I inherited them and I'm just waiting for probate to end so they can be gifted and / or sold.

After seeing my friend and fellow Elite, Jeneen, and her great review on their Yelp page, I figured I was in good hands. I called in advance wondering if I needed an appointment, if I would be there for hours or what. I spoke to the kindest gentleman, Jon, who calmed my anxiety and answered all of my questions with total patience. He even told me it would take less than 3 minutes! (He told me the exact timed total but I forget lol) When I arrived, I was the only person who was in line for emissions and drove right up on. Another young man welcomed me along with Jon, and they informed me that the systems were down. I thought this meant that I couldn't do the test at all, but they assured me that I could, but there may be a delay in it being auto submitted to the tag office. All good for me! It's so good to know that in advance. Jon did his thing, all the steps needed to do this test and I swear, less than 3min later (I feel like it was even quicker than he quoted me) he was done!! What an amazing experience. At Wash Barn, emissions tests begin at $18 but for $2 more, you can get a car wash with the works. Sounded great to me so I quickly took that deal. Between the emissions test, chatting it up with Jon and the car wash, I was in and out in about ten minutes. Superior experience, customer service and value all in one.
