Kristen B.

I have been having problem after problem with my car. I had a blown tire, which led to me getting all four replaced. That went fine but since then, I had started to hear a clanking in my back left tire and a whirring noise in the back right. I took my car back into the shop where I had them repaired because I felt it was odd a week after repairing them that I started hearing these noises. They found a loose tire pressure sensor just flying around in the back left tire... but didn't notice anything with the right. I drove across the parking lot and the clanking was gone on the left but the right still sounded horrible. I stopped and searched for a nearby reliable mechanic. I found Ming's with an almost perfect 5 stars and read some reviews from some OTP Elites and knew they were a great place! I drove 10 min down the street here and they immediately were able to help me and at least take a look. I simply explained the problem and they already had a hunch as to what it may be. They took it for a test drive and brought it in and checked it out. Unfortunately, they found the problem was with the differential which isn't something they can rebuild. They sent me down the street to get it looked at and get an estimate. I know nothing about cars, so I asked what kind of price rang he might guess that we'd be in for rebuilding a differential. He was like uhh.. because of course didn't want to say a number since he wasn't quoting me, but I had no idea if that's a 50$ fix, 100$ fix, or 1,000$+. He said probably around 1,500. I took it down the street and they weren't able to look at it right away, so I am still waiting for it to get checked out, but they also said I'm looking at 1,200-2,000$. I really appreciate the quick service here and them helping me find the problem. Even though they weren't able to repair it, they had a great recommendation for a place down the street and helped me put it in my gps. They also didn't charge me anything! Even though my visit was quick they were extremely helpful. The news wasn't great but I appreciate their welcoming staff and very helpful recommendation and at least confirming that there was in fact an issue! Will definitely be back here for future needs!

Fast and easy at a good price for an oil change. No appointment needed. Small waiting room but you won't be stuck there long.

They do so much more than oil changes, in fact, they are the one-stop shop for auto maintenance, brakes, tires, diagnostics, and repair. Come on in any time, and they can diagnose your problem and provide a fast, affordable solution. You can see current promotions on our offers page. They have 10 stations, but for oil change it's just couple of them in use. While the service was quick, place is little congested. Being my first time, I entered the parking lot not realizing where to wait in line. I was very promptly and kindly told to drive to the other side and wait in line. There was no line, no sign, and nobody to direct me, so I juts waited till they called me. A little pricey, but these guys definitely take care of you. The person who assisted me and reassured me that he'd get me in and out, which he did. They do have few parking spots outside the store for waiting.

I prefer smaller mechanics over dealerships, but after moving to ATL and having some bad…read moreexperiences with independent mechanics, I started using the dealership. My car was making noise and I asked the dealership to look at it during an oil change. I was told that my exhaust system wasn't looking good. The heat shield was rattling a lot, so they clamped that down but I was looking at a few thousand dollars in repairs. Their suggestion was to start shopping for a new car as mine is 12 years old. The thing is that I'm not ready to part with her. No new car currently on the market stirs the same passion in me the way my current car does. I look at her (yes, it's a her and named Eponine) and I still feel like a proud owner. After looking at reviews, I saw that this shop was getting solid reviews and decided to give it a shot. Going forward, whenever I can, I'm going to choose Kirk over the dealership. The price I was quoted for the work was reasonable and the work was done in a very timely manner. I am very happy with the work and even happier that I feel like I've found a place that can help me keep Eponine around for many more years.

On my way out the door this past Thursday, I discovered a sheet metal screw in my rear driver's side tire and had to cancel a $80+ batch that I had picked up and was in panic-mode in an attempt to find and get to a tire repair facility before my tire went completely flat. Luckily, God was with me that day and I happened to be less than a mile from the Doraville store and managed to limp in there with just enough air in my tire to avoid damage to the wheel itself. As soon as I walked in the store, one of your young associates, Saul, looked at me and I think could read the desperation on my face, and he asked what he could help me with. Saul was professional, friendly, courteous, and immediately assessed the situation and assured me that he would get me back on the road within the hour, which he did, and for which I am eternally grateful! Thank you to Pep Boys and to Saul for being there when I needed you and for taking such good care of me. One constructive comment before I go. I have noticed that the automotive repair industry as a whole has a challenge keeping their stores / facilities in good working order and repair, and Pep Boys Doraville store is no exception. The young group of associates who work in this location, along with the customers who come here, deserve better - a nicer, cleaner facility. I'm not sure who runs facilities for Pep Boys, but you would be doing yourselves a huge favor by implementing a system wide renovation program, followed by a well-funded ongoing repair and maintenance program. Set yourselves apart from the completion, and capitalize on your well-established name and good real estate locations.

I regret my previous review, and apologize to anyone who used it to make a decision…read more Although they were late opening, the mechanic who did the work was pleasant enough and the work seemed okay, ultimately it did not fix the problem. I decided to give them another chance. Clearly a mistake. I made an appointment on the website for 8:00am to get my check light checked and see why it's running rough. Arrived 5 minutes early and the store was dark. Called the store number, spoke to a guy who said he would check, then left me on hold for 12 minutes, then cut me off. Called again and was speaking to a woman for a few minutes when someone showed up. Both people on the phone said that they don't open until 9:00, but the website says 8:00, took my reservation, and I even got text reminders. See the screen shot of the website. So I waited until 10 minutes after 9:00 and finally approached the counter and was told that they were waiting on their "diagnostic guy" and could not do anything until he arrived. At that point I took my keys and left. The poor service and level of indifference is unacceptable for any business. The (I guess) manager (Reid) could not have been less concerned that I had been waiting well past the appointment or that the website (and underlying appointment function) does not work. By the way, if you are going to park people in the waiting room, try cleaning it sometime. I will be in touch with Pep Boys corporate this week.

I had the good fortune to visit this establishment twice before writing this review. Yes. Good…read morefortune. Most people dread going to a mechanic, but it seems clear to me that these folks want to do two things: 1) They want to take care of cars. 2) They want to take care of their customers. So the only downside to visiting Far East is that there's not much of an indoor waiting area. There is no free wifi (that I'm aware of), and no free coffee, no nearby café, and no Snap-On posters with half-dressed people holding socket wrenches covering the walls. But you know what? I don't need those things. (Except for maybe the posters.) I don't need those things because it seems clear that I'm always going to walk out of this place with my car in better shape than I left it. And it seems clear that the folks behind the counter are going to give it to me straight. They have been thorough in their assessments, and absolutely superlative in their communications. Next time I go, if you could pick me up and take me to a café, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you're reading this and have a Honda/Acura and need service look nowhere else. I think you get great value just from the customer service alone. The service is also wonderful I like the information they took the time to put about the status of the battery and condition of tires. Value information for any driver. I have the utmost confidence taking my vehicle here and that it will be treated with care. The only thing I can think of that's a con is the time available to be scheduled, but that's because it seems they always have work going on! The way I look at it. That's a plus in my book. Hidden gem.
