I have been going to Alpha Automotive with my vehicles for the past 3 yrs. A couple of weeks ago my 2008 Ford Expedition stopped suddenly in Atlanta. After getting towed home on a Sunday, I called and left a message for Alpha Automotive about my situation. The next morning Shannon from Alpha Automotive called me. My Expedition was picked up by a tow truck noon that day. After diagnosing the problem, it was fixed by Wednesday morning. I picked it up that afternoon. I drove the vehicle a few hours to get some errands done and it was stalling (misding) a little. Thursday morning I took it back to Alpha, they put it on the diagnostic machine, in an hour they had fixed my vehicle, and I was back on my way. Kevin and his team didn't hesitate to make sure my vehicle was 100% fixed. I will continue to have Kevin and his team at Alpha Automotive to service my vehicles. Thank you Alpha Automotive! read more

I got in to a minor accident and needed to get 3 quotes. I decided to go with Alpha since their quote were more in line with the cost of the replacement mirror and labor, compared to the quotes that were half the cost of their quote. I tried to work with the owner of the company that I got in the accident with and Alpha and they could would work out the payment arrangement. Big mistake. I visited Alpha for the initial quote which I received. They were going to order the part and let me know when I arrived. I went back about a month later. They looked in the system, said that there was note and he said he would have to call me back. So I left. Another month went by and I did the same thing and left with the same result. My guess and its just that, the owner of the company that cause the accident and Alpha got together and decided not to work with me. I don't know. Only my mirror was damaged after a work truck crossed into my lane and decided not to stop. I filed a police report and I should have just called a lawyer. Lesson learned. Thanks for nothing Alpha. Too much time passed and now will have to replace my own mirror and I accept my mistakes for not stay on both companies. read more

Beware of Misleading Diagnosis - Get a Second Opinion! We recently took our 2019 Lincoln Nautilus to Alpha Automotive in Locust Grove due to sluggish performance and visible exhaust emissions. After a quick inspection, we were informed the vehicle needed a brand-new engine--a repair quoted between $9,000-$10,000. The staff insisted this was the only option, and they removed the engine cover during the process. Thankfully, we sought a second opinion from a trusted mechanic and took the car to Legacy in McDonough, where we were told an engine replacement was completely unnecessary. The issue turned out to be a known and documented problem with that engine model (supported by a Ford service bulletin), not a catastrophic failure. Legacy handled the fix properly, professionally, and at a fraction of the quoted cost. When we contacted Alpha Automotive about the removed engine cover, they did apologize--but that didn't change the fact that we were nearly misled into an expensive, unnecessary repair. Our recommendation: Always get a second opinion, especially when faced with high-cost diagnostics. This experience raises concerns about transparency and trustworthiness. Consumers deserve honesty, not what appears to be pressure tactics or oversight. read more

They get the things done that are required to get your vehicle running good again, also they do total a multi point inspection. To give you an idea if there is anything else that is needed. For your vehicle. Thank you. read more

I took my car in by appointment on a Thursday 9 am. Friday Still outside. No one looked at it. Next day Parts seem to be a problem. For a check engine light on. Did not run hot. Needed a thermostat. Told 855. Mother's Day weekend. Disappointed. Made arrangements to see my mom. Told I would have by Monday. Monday morning came around my calls went to voicemail all day. End of the day closing they told me a problem getting the correct sensors that were incorrect in the beginning. Manager drove to chamblee Tucker to get the correct sensor They Offered to stay that night to have ready. I was polite said no. Tuesday I told sorry. It's now 950 I'm disappointed. I've used them for my maintenance. read more

Extremely upset. They had my truck for 3 weeks and did absolutely nothing with it. Excuse after excuse. charge me a diagnostic fee which states "multiple codes". '. Which were the codes I already told them i had and just needed fixed. Over the 3 weeks they had my truck I only received one phone call from a tech who stated "i probably needed a new motor because he looked at the car fax" what ever that means. Then proceeded to let me know he hasn't even looked at the truck yet. The guy at the front desk then calls me a liar and said no one ever called me. Which I pull my phone out and show him the call. I called every Friday for 3 weeks on updates and every week it was the same thing, oh yea we're working on it. Or no we actually haven't started on it yet. They don't have a clue what's going on. The guys at the front desk have no idea what's going on at the shop. I don't understand how other people have these nice things to say about the place and I end up having service as horrible as this. They tried to act like I'm wrong for being upset that the 3 weeks they had my truck they did absolutely nothing with it. I arrived there giving them the 4 codes. I left 3 weeks later with the exact same 4 codes. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

Absolutely unacceptable service. I brought my car to this shop hoping to get it looked at while out with my wife and kids. They told me they'd take a look, but my car ended up sitting there for over a week with zero communication. I called multiple times and could never get a straight answer -- it became clear no one had even touched my vehicle. Frustrated, I took it to another mechanic who diagnosed and fixed the issue in under an hour. Completely wasted my time. I wouldn't trust this shop with anything important. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

We initially came to Alpha to figure out why my girlfriend's Jaguar X-type was making some weird noises around the brakes. She walked in and they tightened her axle nuts for free. Soon after, they recommended we get front tires because the ones on there were used and old. At the time, they noticed our tires were wearing unevenly but forgot to recommend an alignment. We visited one more time and couldn't afford the repairs so we did it ourselves, no big deal despite the diagnostic being a little pricey at around 150$. Fast forward to this week, with less than 1000 miles on our new tires they had worn unevenly into dangerous territory and despite that not being covered by the warranty they replaced the tires and covered them for us due to their mistake of forgetting the alignment. Most shops would have told us too bad so sad. We highly recommend alpha and their location in Locust grove, David and Lindsey respectively did their best to work with us each time and we thank them for their services! read more

Great honest mechanic. First time using them. I had my a/c fixed. 2 year warranty parts and labor. Who does that. Very impressed. Great communication. read more

I may come in and change my review but as of right this minute, I am extremely angry. I was travelling from out of state and they did a repair for me, same day, yay. I returned home Thursday. My car stopped working Friday. With the time difference they had closed for the day. Now weekend. The store number states you can text it, but I still havent recieved a reply. The part is warrantied by autozone, but not to MY VIN, or phone, but to the shops. I am 1,000 miles away and spent HUNDREDS. read more

Listen to the other bad reviews and AAA needs to take their partnership I will be also taking this to the BBB. I cant even say they it was Paul as long as he's there that shop is going to lose business. Who tells someone to come get there car after it not being worked on for TWO WEEKS (but GAVE YOU THE OKAY THREE DIFFERENT times!) My estimate went from 1300 to 2500 to 2300 for one why would you give an estimate without putting it up, then after they put it up the said they gave me another estimate which again gave them the okay, so I think its being worked on then I call to see whats going on they havent even started! And Paul tells me to come get the car. Whoever the owner is I hope all this get back to you so you know whats going on over there. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. My car shut down here on Saturday and was able to get my car in neutral and into a parking space. I called on Monday informing them of my problem, I was informed they can't do anything without my keys, never informed of a diagnostic price. Dropped my keys off on Wednesday, Thursday they looked at my car and quoted me 3k for my brakes (just fixed elsewhere) and replacing my entire fuel tank/pump and my engine's thermostat (only accurate issue). I was informed my car wouldn't work until I replaced my fuel tank and thermostat. Something told me to go and put gas in my car, my gauge is sometimes incorrect. I get there, my car isn't in the spot I parked it in, strange. The front desk guy was rude when I asked as to why I wasn't informed of my diagnostic price PRIOR to giving the keys after stating I should've been informed on the phone or while dropping off my keys. Neither happened. I requested a call from the manager, David, never happened. Called him myself, he has yet to return my call. It's now been over a week. This company does not have it's clients best interest at heart. If you can go ANYWHERE else you should. Always get a second opinion. Even their parts are marked up 2x on top of their insane diagnostic and labor costs. 3k to fix my car when my only problem was gas and they knowingly told me my car wouldn't move until i fixed it. I feel bad for anyone who has fallen for this scam of a "business". read more

Very Disappointed. On 27 Dec 2023 they charged me $249.95 for a part they replaced. Identical part at Autozone listed for $136.99 - mark-up of 82% above retail (of course they did not pay retail). Spoke with the manager and he said they don't charge retail price - they use a computer generated algorithm to mark up all the parts they install. I suspect they use the same "mark-up algorithm" for labor costs. Will not be going back. read more

The whole team here was absolutely amazing and saved my trip! We are on a long distance haul with a horse trailer and ran over a nail with the trailer. They told us to come right over, swapped to the spare and patched the tire right away and we are back on the road for under $30! Bill and Rod were super funny, cheerful, and kind. Top tier experience, thank you!!!!!!! read more

I have used Alpha Automotive on 4 occasions & I can honestly say that they are great mechanics. I definitely would recommend the shop. The prices are reasonable & the service is great. read more

I've been a customer at Alpha Automotive for over 5 years and can honestly say times have changed since they've been under new management. Their new environment and energy comes off as if their only concern is profiting versus building good rapport with their customers (especially loyal customers). In my opinion, the new manager, as well as his team, could use a good customer service training course. Kevin and Brandon, the previous manager and desk clerk, would have never treated their customers this way. read more

Brandon does a great job welcoming and managing the process and communication. I am thankful to have technicians who shoot you straight and provide the quality experience often not available at other service locations. I plan my visit by making an appointment and drive over 60 miles to get the quality of service and repairs completed without the hassle. Thank you read more

Very honest and reasonably priced establishment. We've taken a few vehicles there after the dealership quoted us three times the amount for things AA fixed without replacing unnecessary items. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could give a half star or less. Kevin is no longer the owner and talk about a HUGE change for the worse. These people are thieves. I brought my car in and was told would be $199. Left the car at 8:45ish AM and had not heard anything at 2:22PM. Called and was told car being brought back to look at it then. At 2:54pm I received a text saying my vehicle was done. Called and asked Tron what was the findings and he said my car has lots of codes and they do not handle that. I asked what would be the charge for this 15 mins of work and he told me "exactly what I told you this morning". I asked for a mgr. When I arrived the bill was changed to $99 and upon speaking with the mgr who confirmed they did NOTHING to my car, he told me they plugged the machine into it and claimed they lifted it and looked at it. After some exchange of words I just said whatever and paid the $99. I was then informed by Tron they had a 3% charge for using a credit card. I asked where this info was posted and I was directed, multiple times, to a piece of paper taped to the counter that was completely illegible and a sign on the door that did not exist. I was then told repeatedly by Tron, the Mgr and another green haired girl that the sign was "supposed to be there". Needless to say, I just took my keys and left. Thier customer service and service in general was less than poor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT GOING TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET NOTHING AND PAY EXTRA!!!! read more

Great customer service. I received the wrong diagnostic from another shop. But they were able to correctly diagnose my truck. Now it's running better than ever. read more

I was introduced to Alpha Automotive approximately 7 years. Their services rendered have always professional and of a high quality. The diagnostics rendered were never just to get money, but whatever necessary and safety. Whatever maintenance suggested were always on point. Today, Jacob solved an issue where I had a dead bird that somehow was wedged between the radiator and the front grill. I was not turned away. Once again Alpha is and will always be number 1 in my book and will always continue to recommend this facility to friends and family. read more

My son's Honda Accord needed an oil change. We were going to take it to NTB to get it done, but at the last minute I decided we should go to Alpha Automotive. When we arrived, the shop was obviously very busy(which is a good sign). The staff was friendly and professional. I told them what I needed and they asked if I had an appointment. When I told them I did not, the manager Kevin said he could do it today, but it'll be a while. Do we decided to wait. Because I've been a long time customer of Alpha Automotive, they opted to change my oil FOR FREE. Now that's customer service. I'm taking my car back again on Monday to take care of another issue. read more

"Shady Business Practice" My truck Broke Down and I knew it was the alternator. When I call AAA for a tow, they recommended this company for the repair saying that I would receive a 10% discount and they are AAA approved. I've Never done business with this company but decided what the heck, it's just an alternator right. I was completely wrong. Where the shady business practice happen in my opinion is when I talked with the gentleman over the phone he told me "yes we test your alternator and it looks to be bad" let me get it worked up and I'll call you back with a price. When the gentleman called me back he said that my total cost would be $585 I told him the truck has 250,000 miles on it and is over 17 years old. Not looking to invest that kind of money in a work truck. He said that they only used OEM parts and it includes a three-year 36,000 mile warranty. I told him OK I'll do it. when we hang up the phone I called back 45 minutes later to tell him not to do the work because that quote just did not sit well with me. I wasn't happy with the price because I called the dealership and this company sold me the parts for $95 higher than what it would've cost me to go to the dealership. Story gets better, when I asked him not to do the work 45 minutes later he says oh I wish you would've told me that when we first talk because my guy is almost done with your truck. I said really? you keep a factory OEM ford F-150 alternator in on hand, How convenient. I said how did you get the parts that fast. His response was, yeah we keep those in stock.. That was very sketchy and I believe. I addressed my concerns with my representative and he basically told me it is what it is. he also told me hey man I got this thing all the way down and he took about $11 off my bill which was still almost 15% higher parts and labor cost if I would've went to the Ford dealership because he charged me 30% higher for the cost of the part. My point is, if you have a vehicle an do not want to put OEM parts on your vehicle that can cost five times the amount of a non OEM part do not take your vehicle here because they will not Give you that option and my cost was higher then the dealership. I will also inform AAA about my experience and maybe they will stop recommending this company because I feel like they did not do right by me. His explanation for not using aftermarket parts were and I quote. "They go out quickly, sometimes within 6 months and we have to warrantee the repair and part" he also mentioned the vehicle that was not mine as an example. I told him that there great aftermarket parts out there but you can't mark the price up 30%. If you want factory parts at over dealer prices, go here. Just take your vehicle to the dealer. So when I picked up the truck I explained to him how I felt like this was not right. He could not justify the 30% up-charge on the part. He said well you know we have to keep the lights on. Oh boy, Lesson learned. read more

Based on my experience, I don't find this establishment trust worthy. I went to these guys to fix 'check engine light' they looked at the car and estimated it for $1,200 with parts alone costing upwards of $500. I took it to another mechanic for a second opinion, all the car needed was a small valve that costs fraction of what they told me. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. read more

Why 5 stars ? Very simple...that is the most I am allowed to give by YELP. If possible I would give these guys 10 stars. I have been a customer of them years before I became friends with the owner Kevin. I have had them help me from towing a car from 40 miles away, to emergency oil changes, to last minute emission checks. All I have to do is call them, they come pick up my car, change the oil and fix anything else that may be wrong with my vehicle, and by lunch time that car is back at my office. Doesn't get any better than this. The owner is there, and will help you with any questions you got. Kevin not only is a great person outside the work place, but whila at work he takes excellent care of his customers. My main reason why I love Alpha Tires ? HONESTY. They will not do anything to your vehicle that doesn't need to be done. 100 % integrity. Feel free to use them for any mechanical issue on your vehicle. Monday I called Kevin and I told him I had a Land Rover vehicle that I wanted to start using again. The vehicle had been parked on my driveway undriven for the last 3 years. Within 2 hours that vehicle was picked up and fixed by them. read more

We had just moved here from Korea on a military move, and Alpha Automotive was recommended by a random lady at the store. I am truly happy that she had heard our conversation because Alpha Automotive has just gained a new customer. The service was thorough, and we were provided with transportation while our SUV was being serviced. The individuals at the front desk were professional and know what they are talking about. I highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of a vehicle service. read more

So after the initial problems with dropping my car off, I finally got my car in and the friendliness and realness of the staff made up for the run around before. They located many problems with my Jeep, most of which was a result of a shoddy repair job by a previous mechanic. They didn't just name out the problems, they show you on your car what's going on. They explain why it's important to resolve it. Turns out it wasn't the part they replaced that was giving me problems, which means their repairs of my Jeep have been the only repairs to hold up. read more

Good service,reasonable prices.Detail explanation of services needed. One thing that's needed is list of services provided with tune up etc. read more

Always great service and very friendly! Very trustworthy and willing to explain car issues.

These folks helped me out of a huge jam as I was traveling across country. They gave me a loaner vehicle since I was from out of town and had to stay over night. They got the work done ahead of time and under budget. read more

I had to have some major repairs done on my car. So happy I chose Alpha to do the work. Excellent customer service, Brandon was the best!! Quality work and they even provided me with a loaner car. Honest and very customer oriented company!!! I will definitely be using them for all of my cars needs. Great job, thanks guys!!! read more

This was my first visit, and I was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and professionalism of everyone there. They were genuine and sincere in giving me estimate breakdown. While waiting for the repairs, I observed them extend the same courteous and professional customer service to everyone that came into the shop or called in. Labor costs are very reasonable and they are transparent about costs up front. It's rare and refreshing to find an auto shop that is not only concerned about getting your money but cares about the customer. I'm definitely making this my go-to shop for auto repairs on all my family's cars from now on. read more

Our family trust and depend on Alpha Automotive for all our auto repairs. The staff are professional and always provide the best service.

Very nice owner. Gave me 5 free passes for oil changes. Always trust my car here. They work on your car very fast. No long waiting period. Oil changes r very fast too. They even fixed my Windows for free. Very nice place. read more

By far the best automotive shop I've ever been to. The guys are honest, upfront and are very nice. As long as they're in business, they will have my service. read more

These guys are simply awesome! Blew an engine on Rt 75 and AAA towed me here. Turned out I blown the engine in my Chrysler Sebring (2.7L is a real problem). Kevin worked tirelessly to provide me a number of options regarding engine replacement and stored the car for over 10 days no charge. I would not hesitate to use Kevin and his team regularly if i did not live in N Fulton Cnty.. read more

Amazing group. Had my truck deliver last night after hours and they were on it first thing this morning. Turned out it was a broken shift cable and they had it repaired and ready for pickup by 12:30 at an excellent price. From here on out, it's where we'll be taking our vehicles. read more

Although I did not get service from them, they were open on a holiday , they ran a diagnostic test on my car and found out it was an issue I just recently had fixed by another Mechanic. They said they would love my business, but I should go to the previous shop and ask them to fix it. 5 stars for integrity and I will be taking my car to their facility in the future. read more
