I can't recommend Pro Transmissions & Automotive of Athens enough. My sister's Chrysler Town &…read moreCountry was originally taken to Global Tire in Dacula, where she was told (after serious lack of communication) the engine was completely dead and would cost around $10,000 to replace--more than the van was worth. I told her to take it to my buddy Danny at Pro Transmissions & Automotive who I've known for half of my life for a second opinion. Danny did what Danny does: he properly diagnosed the problem and determined that the van did not need an entirely new engine. His team replaced the necessary gaskets, completed the head-gasket and timing job, and got my sister back on the road for about half of what the other shop had quoted. Honest diagnosis, quality work, and a huge amount of money saved. If you're facing an expensive repair, take your vehicle to Danny before giving up on it. I cannot recommend this shop enough, a second opinion from the right shop can make all the difference! Thank you for being you Danny and always treating your customers like family and taking the time to do things right!

After my vehicle was in their possession, I noticed that my wheels, alarm system, and music equipment were missing. I am extremely upset because I trusted this business with my vehicle and my belongings. I feel that my concerns were not handled properly, and I did not receive the communication or customer service I expected. I would not recommend this shop based on my experience. Customers should be able to trust that their vehicles and personal property are safe while in a business's care. I hope this company takes concerns like mine seriously and addresses these issues.

They will tell you they have identified the problem with your car and how to solve it, yet after they have implemented their solution they will inform you it did not solve the problem but they will still charge you for it. You still need your car repaired so now you are trapped, next they will pacify you by assuring you this time they have definitely identified the problem and how to solve it, so you give them the go ahead and cross your fingers. A few days later you will receive another call informing you their new solution did not solve the problem either but they will still charge you for that too. They will drag this process out for weeks and squeeze you for 5 to 10 times the amount of their original quote. I am not the only person to have this experience with Japanese Motor Works, they are notorious for it, ask around and see for yourself. You would think they would notice the lack of repeat customers and see it as a sign they might not be doing good business. Charging people for something that does not work should be illegal. What a pathetic way to make a living.

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 (!).

I had just bought this vehicle and heard a funny noise when I turned so I bought it there just to make sure the car was running ok. I ended up paying 350$ for a problem that was never fixed because I still heard the noise. The owner told me I needed to replace a part on the rear end suspension. I forgot what it is called because it's been a while since I've been at this business. He told he had already ordered the parts without even talking with me first. I believe this was a lie but I went with it because he said it would cost around 120$. It was an estimate. This part only takes bolts and screw, a 45 minute job at the most. Was charged 3 hours of labor which I was told it would cost 120$. I don't really like to leave bad reviews for companies but this just ridiculous. I hope he enjoyed spending my hard earned money but he will never get another cent from my boyfriend or me. I really believe he didn't know what was wrong with the car so just told I needed to replace the parts. Who know if they were really bad or not. Be careful when doing business with this company.

Matt and team took the time to properly diagnose my vehicle and worked through the logical steps before recommending major repairs. They even found one issue that was simply a disconnected component, and fixed it on the spot without taking advantage of the situation.

Finding a mechanic you can trust is difficult, and I can honestly say I've found mine. Highly recommended.
