They do quality and reasonable prices. The guys upfront tells you what parts OEM or most quality parts needed. Anyway, all they do is Japanese or Asian cars..,bummers for American cars.

I rarely write reviews, but this shop absolutely earned one…read more What impressed me most was their honesty. Matt and team took the time to properly diagnose my vehicle and worked through the logical steps before recommending major repairs. They even found one issue that was simply a disconnected component, and fixed it on the spot without taking advantage of the situation. Many shops could have easily turned that into an unnecessary expensive "repair". The team was transparent, fair, and never made me feel like they were trying to sell me something I didn't need. Finding a mechanic you can trust is difficult, and I can honestly say I've found mine. Highly recommended.

This company found another issue which I agreed to fix, I pick it up on Saturday morning and don't even get home because it is still broken. They "look" at it again and find new issues, after another 400 I pick it up, guess what it is still having the same issue. I will never go back here. They could have at least waived the labor since they didn't fix it the first time. They are ignorant about cars and they will rip you off over and over if you let them.

Wow, I can't believe how much I can save a money and they provide a great service!!!…read moreI used to go car dealer service center for repairing my car. I had few times bad experiences with mechanic. So I don't trust them completely and dealer always overcharged or unknown charge. Last time I got oil change from dealer. They recommended to fix rear break pad for $199.95. Every time I went there, I felt they charged too much and unknown charges. So I asked my fiancé about it and he suggested 'International Auto Repairs' at Winder near Auburn. It is a little far from my house but I was looking for honest mechanic and I wanted to know what is real problem. Definitely, I am so glad to bring my car there. He only charged $89.95 and took time to check everything. Wayne who is owner and has experience more than 20 years and Andrew who is manager and also long experience kept letting me know what they have done and how long I have to wait. They are very gentle and sweet. During waiting, I notice the shop is extremely clean and organized. I felt very comfortable when I was there. Now I don't have to worry about my car after they fixed completely. I am so glad to know honest and kind mechanics and reasonable price. Definitely, I like to recommend this place to all my friends. (I pick the coupon at there -purchase 5 oil changes and receive the 6th for free! I think it's pretty good deal)

I found RPM about a mile from where I was at and pulled into their business to explain my situation. They dropped what they were doing to take a look. I had used a lube company to change my oil a few days prior to this leak. RPM discovered that the lube company didn't tighten the oil plug. It was a simple fix to what could have been a disaster for me. I was so appreciative they looked at my car immediately. Very kind and helpful folks at RPM.- Brian B.
