I took my truck here with electrical issues after receiving estimates of around $1,000 and the inconvenience of having to leave it overnight for multiple days. Rico was extremely transparent about my service and began to work on my truck as soon as possible. Around 5 hours later the truck was ready and the final payment was around $400. The work ethic of Rico and everyone else at Gearhead is unmatched. I personally witnessed Rico telling another customer to go get estimates from other places so he could price match the lowest offer. All in all, the service here is beyond excellent and I would recommend this shop to everyone. read more

I have been going to Rico and his brother for a while now. He is always professional and does quality work. He explains clearly what repairs need to be done and what the cost will be. Very fair and reasonable pricing. I had brake pads, rotors and a full alignment done on my car. Thank you for providing EXCELLENT service guys. Take your vehicle to Gearhead you can't go wrong. read more

Helped me remove some parts that were damaged when I hit a tire on the interstate. Very kind, hospitable, and attentive group of people. Thank you! read more

I was told by a customer that this company is way better than going to the Honda dealership. So far I have saved at least $600 between 2 visits and my 2012 Honda is running like new. A little poor with communicating English but they know what they are doing. read more

Do not bring your car to this man just because he thought I was a woman he can get over on me. I brought my car in for one issue only 1day later my car started to smoke from under hood. I took the car back and he tries to tell me I got an oil leak from a gasket. My car did not have that issue prior to me bringing it in to him not only that I just got my car services they would have noticed an oil leak. I had my car 5 years and I know my car and know when it has an issue I keep my car serviced he tampered with my car because he thought he had a dumb woman that will bring it back and pay him 1000's of dollars to fix it but boy was he wrong I will see in him in Court. I'm suing him. read more

I went here to get my timing belt changed for my Honda Accord and left a happy customer. If you don't want to go to the stealership, this is the place to go for quality work at a competitive rate. Pros (+) Competitive Rates - I did a ton of research to get my Honda serviced and his rates were the best in metro ATL. (+) Accurate Quotes - You know when you call places and their quotes seem like guess work? Well not here, he gives you the complete breakdown of part and labor costs upfront. (+) Quality Service - They do it right the first time. And for whatever reason they don't? They'll right the wrong (at least that is what he says). (+) Honest - He didn't try to upsell me any bogus maintenance. He's honest with whats wrong with your car and with his recommendations. He also gave me all the old parts that were replaced to show me their actual condition. (+) Hours - Open 7 days a week which is great if you have a difficult weekday schedule. Cons (-) Quicker Communication - He could be quicker with email responses. As always, call around and ask for quotes - but if your experience is anything like mine, you'll be happy you chose Vin. read more

I'm really disappointed. I've used them for years but mostly when it was under different ownership. I took my car to them on Friday 4/22/22 for oil change, tire rotation and balance. They changed my oil but didn't put any oil back in my vehicle. I drove my VW for miles and then I get the oil pressure warning. Had someone to check it and there was ABSOLUTELY NO OIL in my car. Now, I'm sure I have engine damage bc it's leaking oil now. I went back to them and they tried to argue that they did put oil in my car. Then I showed them the video where there was no oil and gave them receipts where I had to buy oil. This pisses me off especially since I just recently paid my car off and it was in excellent condition until this incident. While they did refund me for the oil change they are not wanting to pay for repairs. This is a mess. Stay away from these folks. I should've kept going to the dealership. read more

Mr.Vin is the nicest, honest, very affordable, always have time for us. Using him for many yrs, the best car repair in town!!!!

So driving to work today my car died on 75 north in the middle of rush hour traffic. I was able to pull my car off to the side of the road. Thank goodness. After waiting for a little while I was able to get my car started again and got off on the nearest exit to me so I could get to a gas station. I got off on Marietta highway and got to an Exxon and tried to figure out what was going on with my car. Needless to say I figured it was the alternator. While sitting in my car I searched yelp for mechanics - VIN auto repair shop came up as one of the results with high reviews and it so happened to be just down the street from me. I putted my car just down the street from where I was and VIN met me outside. Asked me what was wrong and told me he could give me a diagnostic in less than 5 mins. He did. Told me was my alternator. And said he'd give me an estimate in less than 5 more mins. Came back with a number on the low end of the spectrum when it comes to replacing an alternator. And told me he could have it done in less than 3 hours. I waited in the waiting room because I didn't have anywhere else to go. Needless to say VIN and his crew got my car finished in a little more than a hour!! Pretty impressive if you ask me. I don't live near this facility BUT if I need any future work done to my car and I am able to get it there I will be taking my car here from now on. Thank you VIN and team for your exceptional service, professionalism, and value!! Hard to find in a mechanic nowadays. read more

Ahh..Where to start.. My driver side windows of Honda civic 2005 was not rolling and i had to take it to his shop to fix on emergency basis because my regular mechanic does not open in weekend and i see average review on yelp.. I was glad that he took me in to fix the window but that was the only good part about it.He fixed my one window and charged me $200 and said it is ready. so now i told him to fix another one (Dont know why he did not fix it in first attempt) well he said it will be another 200 and i said its OK.. please fix it. he tried to fix it .. change the regulator (which i think was not bad) but window still wouldn't roll. Now he told me that master switch might be bad and it will be another 150.. i still said its OK..please fix it. he took another 3 hrs and window not fixed yet.. I had to leave at this point as i was travelling.I said i come on Tuesdays and i will pay you for other window on Tuesday but he insisted and ask me to pay 200 and then he can fix the window on Tuesday. There was some heated chat at one point he told me that your car is so old and is gone anyway.How could he told a customer that your car is bad. I told him that i never had any issue with the car.. Well i drove (at this point i paid 400 bucks and rear window still not rolling). In between i saw my auto lock stopped working but i said i come back on Tuesday. Now Tuesday: I got there in morning and he ask me to rent a car but i had to go to work so i said give me a car here. So he gave me a old car to drive to my work.. I was hopeful at that point that my car will be fixed in evening.I told him to call me whatever he finds out.. He never called me and when i called by 5 pm he told me that it is not fixed and i get there and then we talk... Now he calls me at 5:30 that he need his car which he gave me to be there by 6. I had to leave my work and drive. I reached there and he said all is bad and i need to pay 570 bucks to get it fixed(rear window and auto lock). I never told him to fix auto lock. at this point he has opened all four door panels and car is not fixed yet. He told me he will give 200 discount and so if i pay 370 then it is all fixed. I said i cant spend this much money and you put my car together but he said he can not today.. I am so frustrated but i still said give me another car and i come back in lunch time tomorrow to get the car back after i spend another 45 bucks for a switch and rear window will be fixed after that. The car which he gave me was so dirty and bad that it did not had speedometer working. Now Wednesday; I called him in Lunch and he said we can talk again and he will give me some discount on parts.. i was furious.. i drove back to him shop and said i dont want anything fixed. he put my car together and i drove my car back(not yet fixed). he said he will fix the car on Saturday. now Saturday; i drove.. he tried to fix and can not fix yet.. he gave me $200 back for rear window and while trying to fix it they did not put the window panel together. When i reached home i saw that one bolt is loosened and my car make noise all the time when i open the door and when i am driving on highway.. well i had no patience to go back to his shop and ask him to fix it.. It was very bad experience. I see he was trying to milk the money out of me by doing things which i did not ask him to do.. I waited on his shop for 3 or 4 hrs and he has no water, no coffee.. when one customer ask he said you buy from shop, and he will pay for his coffee.. Dont waste your time by going there and get your car messed up. he will charge good money and still wouldn't fix and will do shady work and also he will give your car to another customer to drive. Also when he ask me to rent a car he told me not to buy insurance, only word way,, STAY AWAY read more

Brought my car in about an hour and a half before they closed and they replaced a part, rebalanced and rotated my tires in an hour and the car is smooth as silk now. They also cleaned corrosion off my battery and sealed and capped it even though I said to leave it alone! Good prices as well. Would recommend! read more

They don't scam but they are very dishonest. They charge me $75 to flush transmission fluid but didn't tell me that that fix will do nothing. They want to do $800 worth of repairs to diagnose my transmission but when i took my car to a legitimate transmission shop he said right away that it is broken and needs rebuilding. I have come to VINs over 5 times now and still they try to sell work that will break again in 1 week. read more

Repaired my Honda Civic very smoothly and effeciently...cheaper than in ATL and with a guarantee for the work. Even fixed something for free! I you have a japenese car, take it to these guys...they do great work read more

I am so appreciative of this shop and particularly of Vin who worked on my car and would recommend anyone to go there. I was recommended to him by a different mechanic once I bought a Japanese car. That was the best advice because - i have had a few problems with the car and every time Vin is very helpful. Also the shop holds good hours and is always willing to work with you on getting your car in at different times. I can't explain how honest and hardworking they are here and I feel fortunate I have found this place. read more

They did my oil change which was fine, but when they did my alignment on my car , the steering was still off centered. When I complained about the problem, they made up some excuses and would not fix the problem. At least they should offered me a discount on the price, but they would not. I would NOT recommend them and they lost my busines read more
