My family has been coming here for around 25 years- this is the only place we go to and the only place we trust. They've never done us wrong and treat us like family. East Cobb Auto Care is a no brainer. Shoutout to Kevin! read more

I got a nail in my tire and brought it in for a plug. I was greeted outside and helped immediately. Service was fast, friendly, and effective. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes and the price for repair was very reasonable. Though I thankfully did not have to wait long, I loved the waiting room. They had a jean material couch that was really comfy and awesome decor including a dressed skeleton that must have been waiting much longer than I had. I hope not to need their services again, but if I ever have an issue with my car, this will be my first stop! read more

East Cobb Auto Center - Waiting area - Auto Repair Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Will not trust the ratings for this business. I just called for a straight forward quote and was treated rudely and dismissed. A lot of "little lady" treatment. Definitely would not recommend. read more

Honest is the day long. They will only do required work and their prices are fair. They take a bit longer on service because they are very successful and good at what they do. Kevin at the Front Desk and Doug in the garage are fantastic with which to work. read more

I try to do (small) repair work myself, but when I either can't figure it out or don't have the time, I take it to these guys. Don't think they are the cheapest place around, but the peace of mind is worth every cent. They know what they're doing and don't try to upsell anything, unless it actually needs to be replaced. I trust them with all of my vehicles and don't even have to think about where to take my vehicles. Just one less thing to worry about. Great shop! read more

Very honest and incredibly helpful! I am blown away by the customer service of this place! They did my back brake rotors and pads. When I asked about the price of the front rotors and pads, they told me I didn't need them! Most companies in this business tell you anything to get more business from you. This place, I feel, has the client in mind more than the profit motive. Kevin, who helped us, is an outstanding employee of East Cobb Auto Center. He literally saved my mother's car by telling her about common defects with the brand of car she owns. The engines are known to burn oil faster than it can be replaced. I checked the oil that day only to find the car had none. There was literally no oil in the vehicle, bone dry. Kevin saved us thousands of dollars with his knowledge and expertise. He saved her car from an engine ceasing. I will forever be grateful and forever be a client! read more

Nicest, smartest, humblest techs in East Cobb. They aren't afraid of older cars and give great advice. They are very thorough too. They check everything and patiently explain your options. So grateful for this place. read more

I have been going to East Cobb Auto for over 20 years with a small fleet of 5 personal cars. I don't have as many cars now and not in the area anymore but since I always trusted them I continued to use them even though I live in Florida but do come back for family visits. My last visit in October was my last though. I was left high and dry by a brand new battery that went bad. That can happen anywhere though but the service I received when I asked for help was wholly unacceptable. I was given completely bad information about how the warranty would work on the battery and then brushed off. That is wholly unacceptable to me as I was stuck hundreds of miles away and they are telling me to go to an AC Delco store with the battery for a replacement but I have to prove that the battery is bad. I obviously had no transportation at that point AND none of what they told me was even true for my situation as you can have the battery replaced with any brand and AC Delco will take your word for it that the battery is bad but you will need to supply receipts and pictures of the battery. That is much, much easier than what they told me I had to do before they brushed me off. And now because of that bad information I am out additional money and time but did get some extreme frustration out of it. And the other repair work which I finished for that vehicle in Florida was 26% lower than their quote which gave me $1,000 savings. That was the silver lining. They aren't what they used to be which is a bit sad. read more

5 star experience- highly recommended - fast service - friendly staff - fair prices -

I cannot recommend this place enough. Kevin is the friendliest and best person I have ever dealt with. The techs here are very skilled. I've been in 4-5 times after many people in my neighborhood recommending it. I'll give one example of my great experience. Had a car problem and after a day of diagnosis they determined the fix was part of a part recall on my car and if I took it to the dealership they'd do it for free. They didn't want to charge me for a repair I could get done for free so they only charged me for the oil change I got that day! Then when I took it into the Chrysler dealership they spent a week with the car, charged me $800 to replace a different part they thought it was only to discover that didn't fix it and arrive at the conclusion East Cobb Auto did in one day! I feel they are extremely honest, fairly priced, and very skilled at what they do. I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

I called this shop after getting what seemed like a high quote from another shop for a few items on my BMW. I was just calling to get their pricing, but Kevin went into great detail about what was involved for each job and said that the other shop's pricing was fair. He was helpful and honest, despite it not resulting in more business for East Cobb Auto Center. Will bring to them first next time! read more

Great people to work with. Helpful and quick with repairs. Their explanations of repairs and why it's needed are thorough and honest. They have been able to get the car in on the same day to start the work almost every time and get it done quickly. Great shop that wins more of my business every time I deal with them. read more

East Cobb Auto has been my family's go to auto shop since the 90s. When I got my first car I was 17 and they've been my autoshop ever since. I can't say enough great things about them. I know they will always be fair and honest with me and I've had a lot of car trouble in the last 17 years. Even when I was living in the city, I was traveling to East Cobb just to get my oil changed. Kevin is the best. He's always made me feel like family. read more

I used to consider East Cobb Auto care to be the best car repair place anywhere. Unfortunately, I can't say that anymore. They've gotten so busy, they can no longer take care of their regular customers. I've always had fantastic experiences when Kevin is running the front desk. He's a very friendly guy who has an amazing talent for remembering customers. But when he's not there - bad news. Now, they're telling people they have to wait days for service as basic as an oil change. I think it's unreasonable to expect someone to go days without a car. This could be managed by allowing customers to make appointments, but they won't do that. Kevin deserves days off. It's a shame that they have not hired people humble enough to learn customer service from him. The man running the desk today was demeaning enough in making it clear to me that if I couldn't work around their schedule they were too busy for me that they ran off a 10+ year loyal customer. read more

The shop was recommended by an auto parts store further down the road and had five stars on google, so I figured I would give them a shot, big mistake. I have a 2006 Honda Pilot that wasn't blowing hot air in the front of the car but was blowing hot air in the back of the vehicle. After doing some research online, I was 90% certain my air mix actuator needed to be replaced. Looking at some videos online, it didn't seem like a complicated process or time-consuming. Still, I figured I would save some time by taking it to a mechanic because of time-sensitive projects at the house. My thought was, it can't be more than $400, but I was wrong. The shop called me back and confirmed it was the Air Mix actuator, no surprise. However, the surprise came when they quoted me the cost for the repair, which came in at $700. The explanation given was the replacement part was $400, and labor was going to cost $300. Here is why this quote is thievery pure and simple. I found the identical replacement part at Napa auto parts for $200. They don't use "customer supplied" components, is what they told me cause they warranty the equipment if purchased from the carmaker. The same crap Jiffy Lub pulls when they require you to use full synthetic on a 1990 Toyota Camry, and it's just a ploy for you to spend more money. Here is the craziest part, they wanted to charge me $300 for labor. I bought the parts from Napa and timed myself on the replacement. It took me 52 mins. I've never worked on cars before, and this was my first-ever replacement of a component that wasn't a battery or air filter. If you think about that for a sec, it means the company is ok with eye-gouging its customers so their mechanics can make $300 an hour. I would look elsewhere for your car repair needs. Also, I repaired my car for $200, which was the cost of the part. read more

This place has gone to hell. I have spent b tens of thousands of dollars with them through the past 20 years, but since Mike Tyne left, they are no longer on my list. I called Thursday afternoon to speak to the shop manager Doug. He was busy 'underneath' a car. I get that and am ok with it...life is busy. Colin was the desk guy that I spoke with and he took my message which I clearly stated I needed to talk to Doug about taking a work vehicle there for some work, I just wanted to make sure they could take it the following morning. never got a return call. I called Friday at 8:45 and informed them I will never do business with them again. 10's of thousands of dollars and not worthy of a return call. Mitch owns the place and will get an earful from me, but never another dime! Nice customer service Doug! read more

These folks are the most honest, professional auto service & repair outfit I've ever worked with. I especially appreciate how Kevin and Doug take the time to carefully explain everything and specifically, never presume to talk down or be dismissive of anyone, male or female. The level of professionalism and attention to detail with every job they've done for me over the years is 100%. read more

The absolute best auto shop! Honest, thorough, and affordable. I'd send my Mom, wife, or daughter here without my involvement anytime. Oh hold on, I already do that. Great guys with awesome integrity. read more

I can always trust whatever repairs East Cobb Auto recommends for my car. They always call to authorize any repairs, and take time to explain specifically what the problems are. There are no "stupid" questions when talking to their mechanics and customer service reps, and they listen seriously when you try to imitate the strange noises your transmission is making. Their prices are very competitive, and I have never felt ripped off upon picking my car up. I have had everything from an oil change to more serious repairs, and the services were always excellent. read more

I can't say enough good things about East Cobb auto repair. They deserve all five stars. This is the most awesome place to get your car repaired. When you drive up it does not look as slick as some of the chain repair places. But when you walk in the staff is friendly the staff is professional. The staff is knowledgeable. The staff communicates well. Kevin and Douglas worked with me on my auto repair and they were awesome. The prices are very reasonable. The service is timely read more

OK...first of all, don't go here. I don't want it to get busy and keep me from getting in :) This is BAR NONE the best shop I have ever gone to. They diagnosed a problem with a recent vehicle that I bought a couple of months ago. The fix was ~$1500 (the car cost me $6k to begin with, so that fix was not insignificant). The owner asked me if I minded him keeping it a bit longer so he could make extra sure that was the real problem. He called back 2 hours later, outlining everything he had done to confirm the issue (it was extensive!), and said it was definitely the root cause. Well, that's not all he did...first, he said that there would be no charge for the diagnosis because he wanted me to be able to use that money towards a different vehicle that I'd like more, knowing that I'd fallen quickly out of love with the car. That's AFTER I had already said to go ahead with the fix...yes, they ACTUALLY said not to pay them almost $2k because weighed on the scales I'd be better off doing something else...and that "something else" puts NO MONEY in their pockets! Those folks are outstanding. They are the best shop in town and I'd recommend them to anybody (well, except for you guys because I don't want them to be too busy for me :)). They have a customer for life. Thanks, guys. I sincerely appreciate it. Kevin, Colin and the owner were all best-in-class. read more

I have returned to East Cobb Auto Center now that my Toyota Corolla is completely out of warranty. I was willing to but up with poor service as long as it was free (or highly discounted), but now that I have to pay the bills, it's East Cobb for me. I have been dealing with them for almost 14 years, and I have to say that they have always been as honest and dependable as I could hope to find. They always offer options - you can do A or B and the price and risks for both. Never once have they suggested dubious repairs or services. Sure, I have tried other places for auto services, and invariably I steer my Toyota back to East Cobb when I am disappointed elsewhere. I guess I have learned my lesson. read more

These guys fantastic! I was almost certain that my break pads were worn down as well as my rotors however they called me and let me know the car is in great condition and there is no need to spend any money right now. I was referred to them by another mechanic down the street who said that East Cobb Auto is the best in town. They've officially won my business over and over. read more

I cannot say enough great things about East Cobb Auto. We've been using them for over 25 years, and they have been consistently reliable and honest. There have been many times we've heard, "This can wait awhile," or "We're searching for a part that can save you money." They have proven to be trustworthy and reasonable with their costs. I appreciate how they would drive my young children and me home back in the day. Always super friendly and happy to help, and they will do whatever it takes for customer satisfaction. Having an honest mechanic who you know won't gouge or sell unnecessary work is huge. This is the place. I trust them 100% and would not go anywhere else. read more

Don't go here. They charge you $50 just to look at your car and give you an estimate. If you decide to get the work done they don't waive the $50 estimate fee which is absolutely ridiculous. I've never been to an auto repair shop that does this. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Can't say enough bout this place. Been taking my cars there for several years now and they have always been great, don't try to sell you things you don't need, honest with their assessments, very reasonable prices, same people there every time I go in (says A LOT about a business). GREAT Business and People! read more

I can't say enough good things about East Cobb Auto. I've used them many times and each time they have been honest and done a great job fixing my car. I had gone to them about six months ago and found that I needed a new starter. They did the work and I was very happy with the results. Two nights ago my car wouldn't start. I called them and they said, get it towed and they would check on it first thing in the morning. Surprisingly it was the starter again. They fixed it at no cost to me at all. I really appreciate their honesty and I'll be back there again when I need something else done. read more

I do most of my own car work but rear end on truck starting making noise and I knew it was something I did not want to work on. Took it to East Cobb Auto Center as they are near my house. Repair was done quickly and they took time to listen to me when I dropped the truck off and spent time explaining what options I had to fix it, what was needed and why and then called a few days after I picked up the truck to make sure I was happy with their work - which I was. I would rate them average on price but they appear to run an honest shop, the shop is neat and clean and they stand behind their work. I was pleasantly surprised and would strongly recommend them. They come close to five stars in my book. read more

If I could give them NO stars I would. Terrible service, brought my 4Runner there to replace battery and the connectors. Turns out they only replaced ONE of the connectors, silly me for assuming they would do the job right the first time. It was only after driving off that I also learned that my radio no longer worked. It worked fine when I dropped it off. When I called back I was told that it was "just a coincidence" methinks not. Do Not Go Here!!! read more

I took my son's car to the East Cobb Auto Care Center to determine why it has been squeaking on and off for months. I had tried another chain auto repair shop twice and they still did not resolve the problem and charged me both times for service (which is fine; I expected to pay for each visit.). A few hours after dropping off my car to East Cobb ACC I got a phone call saying my car was fixed and was given a complete description of the problem and the resolution. And when I asked how much I owed, he said "it's on us - thanks for being a first time customer." Again, my service was free, but that is not why I am happy. I am happy because the problem has finally been solved! So I highly recommend East Cobb Auto Repair at (770) 641-9906. They are located at 2955 Johnson Ferry Rd. (across from La Strada restaurant). They have wonderful customer service, and I will certainly be back. read more

I would recommended this place 8 days a week. Doug is honest and very caring about helping educate you about the vehicle and what is the most cost effective route to take in keeping it in good working order. read more

I've taken all of my cars here, quality work and very trust worthy staff

I must admit...I am beyond words to describe my pleasant experience with ECAC!!! Mike and Kevin are the greatest! I had taken my vehicle to the dealership to have a check engine light diagnosed. I was told that the repair would be nearly $1000. I asked the dealer if there were less expensive options that could be considered. They told me no, that this was the only fix. I contacted ECAC, and shared with Mike the issue I was having. Mike told me there were 2 ways we could approach this; obviously one of the ways much less expensive than that quoted by the dealer. He started with the least expensive of the two options, and I'm ecstatic and blessed to report that it fixed the problem! No Check Engine light, and a big, fat PASSED on my inspection 4 days later!!! ECAC has definitely won my loyalty and my business. I know that every fix won't necessarily be a "nickles and dimes" repair, but your professionalism, humility, honesty, and knowledge were definitely on-point! I've already been spreading the word about your repair facility in the hopes of sending more business your way! I will neither bash nor reveal my dealership, but I must express how disappointed I am that they didn't consider any other option other than the most expensive. Big dealers have a lot they can learn from our small but honest community businesses! Be honest with customers, even if it means you won't necessarily make a big buck the first time through... Once you win that customer's loyalty, they will come to you again and again, NO MATTER THE COSTS! The community is definitely blessed to have ECAC doing good, honest business. Keep up the good work guys! You've definitely won a customer who knows LOTS of people! read more

I have used this repair facility many times over the last 10 years. They are beyond honest. When expecting extensive repairs they have often come back with repairs of modest cost. I have always been able to get an appointment for the next day and the repairs completed the day of the appointment. Honest trust worthy people. Excellent service. I Highly recommend this repair facility. read more

I have used these guys several times on my car and my daughters cars. THEY ARE GREAT!!! Honest and won't sell you stuff you don't need. They may make recommendations, but will tell you what can wait and what must be done now. Unlike the dealers I've been to where everything must be done today. No high pressure, just good honest folks. Keep up the great work guys. We'll be back. read more

The team members at East Cobb Auto are wonderful.Kevin and the mechanics provide excellent customer service and are significantly less than what I was paying to service my 2 Lexus vehicles. Only wish I would have found them sooner. read more

Real stand up guys, reasonable prices, fantastic customer service. Before I bought my car, I brought it by for an inspection. The pre-owned dealer claimed the car passed some 20-something point inspection, but East Cobb Auto found the splash shield was broken and the battery was nearly dead. Next time I need something done on my car, I'll take the trek out to them. read more

This is the best auto maintenance and repair shop ever. Honest and fair prices. They have worked on our cars for 15 years. They will fix any brand quickly. I love these guys! They will even drive you home after you drop off your car if you live nearby. Perfect! read more

East Cobb Auto Center is the best! My family and I have been taking our cars to them for years and we've never taken the time to review them online to share our experiences. Most recently, they got my old pickup truck running like new. They are honest, dependable, and I can't begin to say how happy I am with their work. They have customers for life with my family and me...God bless these great people! read more

I've taken my vehicles to East Cobb Auto Care several times. They do quality work, but they are way expensive. They charge a premium for parts, way more than you can buy the OEM parts for anywhere. recently they also recommended that I have additional work done. I used to do all of my own repairs and was suspicious. Took it to another mechanic and it turns out I didn't need what they were saying at all. I've changed mechanics. read more
