I went in told them what I needed. The gentleman at the counter, I believe his name Was Dean, was very nice and professional.

I sat in waiting room while looking around at all the cool knick knacks on the walls and talking with the other customers there. It took about 45 min and they had the screw out along with another nail they found too!

I looked on online for a brake repair shop in Athens (thinking we could make it that far). God had other plans as Spikes kept populating (way closer). We called and they said they could get us in and out same day. Once we arrived they found a spot for us to park the travel trailer and even let us run an extension cord to assist with power. We had our 14 year old cat with us so having the RV powered for air and comfort was a blessing. They got the parts ordered, kept us abreast with all issues found and had us back on the road approximately 4 hours later. They went way above and beyond providing snacks, rotating the tires and even cleaning the floor mats! Great people and awesome service. Thank you Spikes!

Anyway Long stlory short, there was a bad rattling noise under my car. Turned out, the back tire on my car almost fell off - they diagnosed and fixed it Fri afternoon even though they were totally booked and couldn't schedule to look at it til Monday. Since it was a simple fix, they charged me a grand total of ZERO! But that's not it. I was so thankful, I told them to ring me up for fifty bucks at least, and TJ said it was ok. I insisted and he stil refused (!).

This company was very well-rated on facebook and loved on nextdoor, so when I contacted them and…read morethey told me I'd have to wait two weeks before they could look at my wife's minivan, I said I'd wait. I wanted quality work done. Two weeks later, they came out, diagnosed my vehicle (five separate engine codes and an oil leak), and told me they'd pick the vehicle up the next day. They also told me that when the work was done they'd return it. They didn't pick it up the next day. In fact, it took them another 10 days before they came and got the vehicle. They worked on it that day and contacted me at the end of the day and asked if I'd like to come get it, because they couldn't bring it back that same day. I let them know that I couldn't drive out there and would like it returned as they said. I was promised it would be back the next day or the day after. Two days pass and no vehicle, so I contacted them and was informed "We don't return vehicles. We don't have time to do that. We usually don't pick them up either, or charge a fee for it, but we gave you that for free." So, I drove an hour to pick up my vehicle. On the way home, the check engine light came back on. Assuming it was just an issue with one of the sparkplugs (the technician who worked on my car told me it still had a very slight misfire), I went ahead and just brought it all the way home. Once there I hooked it up to my OBD reader and realized that FOUR of those five engine codes were still present. I spent $1,350 to have my wife's van repaired, and waited a MONTH. At the end of all that, they've eliminated ONE engine code, and for all I know it's still leaking oil. Absolute worst mechanic experience I've ever had in my life. I'd bring it back to make them fix it, but I don't trust them to not make it worse. Avoid AT ALL COSTS.

I brought my Ford F150 to Joey Watkins Tire & Automotive after the truck stalled and had to be…read moretowed on 05/31/26 from the Target parking lot in Flowery Branch. Prior to stalling, the truck had been jerking, sputtering during acceleration, and losing power while driving. After evaluating the truck, I was told the spark plugs needed to be replaced. I approved the repair and paid $509.19. I was then told the truck was fixed. Unfortunately, shortly after leaving, the exact same issue happened again. The truck began sputtering and completely died near Friendship Road and I985, creating a dangerous situation in traffic and resulting in another emergency tow that cost me an additional $300. I returned the truck and explained that the issue was still occurring. However, because the truck happened to start for them during testing, I was told they could not replicate the problem and did not know what was wrong. I specifically asked about fuel system concerns because the symptoms felt fuel related, but no diagnosis was made beyond the spark plugs. At that point, I no longer trusted the truck to be safe to drive and took it directly across the street to Christian Brothers Automotive Buford for a second opinion. Shortly after arriving there, the truck stalled again while they were attempting to move it into the service bay. Because the failure occurred while connected to diagnostics, they were able to pull active fault codes indicating issues with the fuel pump and fuel pump control module. I ultimately authorized approximately $2,000 in repairs for the actual problem. In retrospect, the spark plug replacement appears to have been more of a guess at the problem than an actual diagnosis, especially considering the symptoms remained exactly the same immediately afterward and the real issue turned out to be fuel system related. To be fair, intermittent mechanical issues can be difficult to diagnose, and the staff was polite throughout the process. However, I am disappointed that I spent over $500 on repairs that did not address the issue at all, followed by another breakdown and tow immediately after being told the vehicle was fixed. Given the safety risk involved with a vehicle stalling in traffic, I expected a more thorough diagnostic process before being told the truck was repaired.
