It's a terrifying feeling being far from home, driving a car that feels like it might quit at any second. Luckily, we found Barrett Automotive nearby. From the moment we called, they were total pros: Fast Diagnosis: They offered a free engine diagnostic check the moment we arrived. Expert Service: The staff was incredibly friendly and identified the issue immediately. They even had the necessary part in stock (or delivered lightning-fast). Impressive Speed: We were back on the road in about an hour. Top-Tier Amenities: The shop was spotless, and the waiting area actually made the stress melt away with free Wi-Fi and snacks. If you're going to have car trouble, you want to be near Barrett Automotive. They turned a potential travel nightmare into a minor detour. Highly recommended!

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!

I've been going here for 8 years and can only speak for myself that Don and his team have saved me $1,000's. He offered options that other mechanics did not.

If it did not work, I would not have been mad because I was forewarned, but in, fact, his solution worked both times like a charm. I'd put his knowledge on transmissions against anyone in the state, and as far as service - I hate that some other folks had challenges here, but I'll swear by him and his team.
