Summary: Overbooked results in long waits…read more I had read/heard good things about this place, so I was initially happy to have them work on my project. However, that's where the problems started. Week-after-week they'd promise to start on my project and then fail to follow-thru. Clearly, they have too much work on their plate. Finally, I gave up on them after waiting more than a month for them just to get started on the work of installing my crate motor. Ultimately, it cost me $175 just to retrieve my property!

You're supposed to know how to fix cars but bing ai has told me more about my car than you. Let ME tell YOU, IT IS MISSING A PART!! I gotta wonder, INCOMPETENT????? I don't want you anywhere near my car. I think you're lying or ignorant. You wouldn't stay in business if you blew off every customer like you did me. What about me makes you not want my business??????? You act like you don't want to, or don't know how to help me with this simple issue. Either way that's every reason to never bring my car to you again for any reason. My god if I put my mind to it I COULD DO THIS I BET! But I'm not a mechanic, I wanted you to do it.

We took the car to another mechanic and they showed us where they put the part on the wrong side! In addition, they have so many cars parked in the lot that it looks like a junk yard.

The wife's Audi Q5 went in last fall for a few things, but working with Perry gave me complete…read moreconfidence in QEG - we wound up having multiple things done to her Q5 to update it a bit and make it more exciting: new front grill, new blackout emblems, new aftermarket air intake, a tune to make more ponies, fresh powder-coated rims and new tires all around plus an oil change. The price for everything including labor wasn't cheap, but it was good for the amount of professional work that went into what we wanted done. They took the minimum amount of time and Perry worked with me along the way as I kept adding things. We recently got a check engine light and got it into QEG to find out that the turbo was having a problem. Instead of a bill for an entire new turbo and associated labor costs, they narrowed it down to a $400 part (plus labor of course) and saved me a few thousand. In and out with ordering the part was less than a week. These folks know their Audis!

Did a great job on my truck, over a year ago, when I took it in. Took forever for them to fix it without keeping me updated as to why it was taking so long. Had to go back because they cracked my coolant tank. They actually told me that it had to be their fault so there would be no charge. Well there was, had to find something to make me pay for. I dont think it would have cost me anything if it had not been for the receptionist. Their fault, their word, no charge means just that, especially when I had already spent close to $3000 already and there was absolutely no leak prior AND TO THIS DAY IT STILL LEAKS. I love the mechanics but do not like his receptionist. She on the other hand is very rude. As to be expected, he went up in prices like all do, but if I want to pay dealership prices, I will go to a dealership. He was much better when he didnt have a receptionist...My business has been going elsewhere. When she is gone, I will consider returning. My opinion. Great mechanics, great owner, poor office person.

I expected to pay several hundred $ for a repair this morning.  My wife took our car in to our appointment and they took it back to look at it to presumably give her an estimate, the gentlemen came back and said it was 'done'. My wife said, "Done, while how much is it?"   He said nothing it was a quick fix. We had gotten another quote of a nearby body shop for almost $600 to re-attach the rear hatchback door exterior panel and Peachtree  Auto Painting & Collison ((423) 899-8080) out of kindness did it for nothing! Now, I know they can't give everyone free body work but we really appreciated the kindness they showed my wife and it speaks to their generosity. Thanks to everyone and leadership at Peachtree Auto Painting and Collision!
