My truck was making a horrible sound and I thought I knew what it was (based on my boyfriend taking a look at it) but I definitely didn't. I got my truck in with Don and they had it fixed by noon. They called a few times because they couldn't recreate the noise it was making for me, but when they were able to they found the problem right away. Everyone I talked with in the phone (including Don) were super helpful and didn't make me feel dumb like I've had many times at auto shops since I'm a girl and I don't know very much about cars. They were super helpful and I will 100% be taking my truck back if I ever have future problems!! read more

Fair pricing, accurate diagnosis, excellent mechanic. I am very pleased with my experience and grateful to finally find an auto shop that I feel comfortable trusting. read more

Took my sons 2014 Kia Forte which had an engine that blew to Dons automotive. They went above and beyond to fix my sons car! Don called us to see how the car is running and has offered a free oil change a week after the repair. He is also taking the time to show my son what to check for when car is burning or using oil so that he can prevent this from happening in the future. Don has made sure that he has treated us with utmost respect through the whole process. I would highly recommend Dons automotive. Dorene and John Strakose read more

Great service and so honest! They could have charged us for a whole lot of work that needed to be done but they were honest and said the car wasn't worth putting that much money on it! I can't recommend them enough! read more

Bad service and overpriced. I have over thirty-five years of driving experience under my belt, and this auto shop is the worst one I have ever been to. I have had many different cars of different makes and sizes and received maintenance care for all of them from different auto shops. I have never been this upset with an auto shops service than I am now. I hope no one gets ripped off like I have been. Recently, my car suddenly didn't start. I called road service and they attempted to jump the car, but it didn't start, so I went and bought a new battery. In the process of putting in the battery (my teenage son did it); I had soon realized I had taken home the wrong battery. I called for road service and they suggested a tow truck be called so the vehicle could be taken to an auto repair shop. I recently just moved to Newnan so I looked for a good shop to tow the car to; I found Don's Automotive because I saw good reviews. I called the shop and explained what had happened. I told her that I believed that I have a problem with the alternator as well as the car battery. Then she told me that she required the car to be at the shop so I could receive any kind of estimate. So I towed the car to the shop. I received no call from them that same day, so, I was a little uncomfortable that they did not give me a courtesy call for letting me know that they had received my car. The next day I did not receive a call from them. After nine, I called in and she told me she will get back to me by ten because she didn't have any information to give me yet. I had yet to be notified even after ten thirty in the morning; so, I called and told them I would be by the shop soon, there I met the owner, Don. I have a friend who has an auto body shop out of the city and I knew the problems because he had already told me. Since my friend is located a bit away I wanted to fix my vehicle locally. However, Don told me that he had already ordered new fuses for the ones that were blown (by putting in the wrong battery) and he had also put in a new battery without my consent. I never gave them permission to work on my car at all. I only asked them to take a look at it and give me an estimate. I wasn't happy about it, but I didn't complain because he had already ordered fuse and I wasn't there to argue. He told me he put in a Napa battery and he notified me it will cost me at least one hundred dollars on top of labor fees and tax. I had already ordered my own battery (before it was towed to his shop), which was superior and in the end cheaper. He was okay with that and so he scratched the price off. Thing is, he wasn't even authorized with my consent to do any of this. He called me not long after and he told me that I needed a new alternator and I would be down approximately thirteen hundred dollars. When I told him that he charged too much, He told me a Alternator part alone will cost five hundred to six hundred dollars. I was appalled to say the least. I already knew the alternator was around one hundred sixty dollars, so I was shocked to know that he was going to be charging over a grand for labor! I refused to give him that much. He told me to pay him one hundred eighty-two dollars for working on the battery and changing the fuses. The fuses only cost him two dollars, and a fuse change is a simple process, so this was absurd. I paid him his ridiculous demands. Then, I went and called around and found a location some ways away that would only charge me two hundred dollars for a few hours labor. I purchased my own alternator and I spent less than four hundred dollars for the whole process. In the end I saved close to nine hundred dollars. Recently I found out that I could get a free estimate from other shop. My friend told me if a customer asked his shop for a diagnosis it will cost them a measly thirty dollars in comparison to Don's. I will not be going back to Don's Automotive, nor recommending them to anyone. read more

Took my 2006 Saturn Ion 2 in for a transmission replacement. Was really surprised by the professional attitude of all employees. They were very friendly and helpful in every way. They go out of their way to make you feel a part of what they are doing and want you to be an informed customer. I would recommend them to all my family and friends. read more

It only takes 30 seconds on the phone with Don to know that he genuinely cares. If you're experiencing any issues with your car or have questions, I highly recommend giving him a call. read more

Don's automotive is the best mechanic shop. I will only trust my vehicles to Don's Automotive. They did the timing belt job on my Toyota 4Runner, and they are very extensive and thorough in their work. Very professional and well rounded in the field. They explain exactly what they found in your vehicle, what the remedy is and how to proceed. Thank you Don and your staff for your professionalism. read more

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else, even if it was free. "Good Work Ain't Cheap, Cheap Work Ain't Good." I know I can trust Don's recommendations and repairs without a question as to IF my car is going to be fixed. He fixed the A/C in my Acadia right after my wife gave birth to our daughter and it was miserably hot outside. He has also kept up the maintenance and repairs on our other vehicles since and they all run great! read more

I recommend Don's Automotive to anyone who needs a mechanic in Newnan. There is no other mechanic that I trust so well.

Looking for a local mechanic you feel like you can trust. Truck had transmission trouble and found Don's. Sent me pics of the damage and talked extensively with me on the solution. Came down to a new transmission. He said don't give up on him and he will see what he can do. Was able to fix honestly when could of took the easy way and charge me for a new transmission. Will get all my business from now on! read more

Took a truck there that Buck's couldn't fix. They had it completed in a few hours. Honest and fair mechanics. Will continue to use and refer to friends. read more
