I had high expectations for Motor City South as I read the reviews before taking my car there. They open at 8am and I got there at 7:45am and there were already three people in line. I asked the lady in front of me if she had been here before and she aid Yes! They are fair and reasonable. That s why there s a line. I dropped my car off as they opened, needing brake maintenance. They told me they would reach out via text to provide my quote. I hadn t heard from them most of the day. I called at 2:30pm, and they were checking it and told me they would contact me soon. I still hadn t heard anything and called at 4pm as they close at 5pm. The gentleman asked Can I help you? . I responded, I haven t heard anything about car all day. They gave me the diagnosis of brake rotors and brake pads and sent my quote via text. They told me it would be ready the next day.It was ready by 11:30am, the next morning. The price was very fair. Intown Auto in Decatur charged me over $600 for just front brake pads and rotors (and labor), whereas Motor City South charged me $883 for front and back.Overall, I ll be back. Communication was a tad lacking, but I know they were very busy. Their fair pricing was very much appreciated. They were very kind when speaking with them as well. I recommend Motor City South.

My elderly mom blew out two tires at once nearby and I called Motor City South. The person I spoke with walked me through the best options for our unique situation and recommended an excellent tow service. I am so grateful for their help. These are good people working at Motor City South.

This was - by far - my best experience with a mechanic in Atlanta. You show up at 8am, tell them what you want them to do to your car, and they text your phone when they're done. The prices were very reasonable, and the work was quality. But what really knocked me out was their customer service. Friendly and straightforward. I could not have asked for more.Services: Electrical, Body & Trim, Oil change

Motor City South exceeded whatever expectations I had. They listened to my concerns and did not act like I was an inconvenience, even though they are extremely busy right now.I had to bring my car back a few times and they were quick to help. They are by far the best auto shop I have been to and the entire staff is incredibly kind and friendly. I highly recommend!!

Mike and his team have come through for us in a pinch many times! Great service and communication, plus they are trustworthy and reasonably priced. They are incredibly busy, so get there early to line up as they open if you have a non-emergency.

Had my car towed here at 8am when it wouldn't start one morning. They provided same day service and I had my car fixed and back with me before dinner. Price was reasonable and there was none of the overselling/overcharging that you usually get from mechanics. Great spot - highly recommend. (The hot apple cider they brought out for us while waiting in line in the cold was also a nice touch.)

Was told to get there early because they service on a first come basis, but after being third in line at 7:45 AM, they still hadn t even looked at my car by 11. They did not follow through on their promises, as they were servicing cars who arrived after me when I finally went back to check on it three hours later. Poor customer service.

Went in to have my tire pressure checked before a trip. Guys were so professional! The provided quick, efficient service, provided an explanation for something that would need to be addressed in the next few months, and gave me affordable solutions for whatever I decided to do, whenever I decided to do it. Shockingly, no one tried to sell me anything. I was really impressed. 10/10 will be back.

This shop is walking distance from my house and our family is extremely grateful. They do great work and they are so honest and price things fairly (which is refreshing in this industry). It's the one place that I can take my car where I'm not skeptical and can let my guard down. Trustworthy and dependable spot!

I'm a NY transplant here in ATL. I'm used to working on my own cars but I had to take my 03 G35 Coupe to their shop. A roommate had recommended me to their business. I brought it in, they nailed it to the starter and I replaced it on my own. It was still having issues after so I took it back. Not only did they look it over again but they didn't charge me for the sensor it needed. Good guys, and I can recommend them to the interweb with a good concience. I'll be going back to replace my clutch. -HowardService: General repairs & maintenance

Twice now they ve failed me. The first time it was for a broken door lock and they claimed they couldn t find the part. They did not reinstall the handle so I was given the car back with a hole in the door where the lock used to be. The most recent time I brought it in due to the smell of gas while driving and they found it to be a leaking fuel line. Again they claimed they looked everywhere but couldn t find the part and told me to get it towed to a Toyota specialist. Cost me $250 for the diagnostic and tow. The Toyota specialists (toyotechs) got the part no problem and they said any mechanic could ve ordered the part had they taken the time to look at the diagrams. I wish I could give more stars because the folks there are friendly, but I don t understand how they can t find parts for a very common vehicle like a Toyota RAV4 when other mechanics can and it has cost me hundreds of dollars.

I took my car here for diagnostics, they told me what was wrong and answered any other questions I had! They were extremely nice! I would recommend! Go early though, I came 10 minutes before open and there was a line already!Service: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic

These guys go above and beyond. Everyone who works here has been so kind and helpful. My Chevy hhr has been giving me endless problems all summer and they were able to get me fixed up and are always honest and fair with pricing. This is hands down the best auto repair shop I have found in Atlanta. Thank you guys.

The owner of this shop is a good dude. I was picking up dinner at Holy Taco, went to leave, and my car wouldn t start. Went back inside and he was at the bar getting an after work beverage. Jumped right to helping me diagnose a bad battery, found a replacement at Autozone, jumped me, and got me on my way. Totally saved my night. I d have gladly bought one off him he just didn t have my car s size available. Highly recommend!

Just like when you know you've gone to a top tier restaurant, I left knowing that I'd just gone to a top tier vehicle servicer. Service was on point, it was quick, and I could tell that they cared. It's nice having it in EAV, close to my home, but I'd travel from out of town to have my car looked at and serviced by this team again. Thanks, Mike!

We have been coming to this shop for over 7 years now, and we couldnt have asked for a better shop to use. They have been able to keep my high mileage Nissan on the road and are extremely communicative. 10/10.

Tried to get basic maintenance on my car and was told to take it elsewhere after dropping it off and leaving. Seems like they can t handle German cars so don t waste your time if you have one. No explanation when picking it up either. Just handed me my keys. Will not be returning, but I ll give it 2 stars bc the location is great for anyone in the EAV area that doesn t have a German vehicle

They re absolutely great!! They helped me bolster a piece of fabric that had fallen underneath my car and was scraping the road. I was in a pinch and arrived 10 minutes before they closed and they were still willing to help me real quick. Highly recommend!

Every last one of them workers are really honest great listener super nice very gifted with their knowledge and hands. I'll have to say if they call you or text you the estimate when they done solving a problem your vehicle's going through if it's a high price I feel like it's worth it because any other shops out there will charge high and FK u over. But Motor City is 100% good when they put they hands on something you don't have to worry about coming back for a long time. Trust me the last 15 years I've been to so many bad shops out here in Atlanta it wasn't good. Motor City is the place to go 100%

Needed a new radiator. Work was done fast and correct at a great price. They even stayed late so I could pick it up after I got off work. Highly recommend.

I went to Motor City South because my car had issues going on when going through water puddles and over speed bumps. The first time I went they only ran a diagnostic when the issue needed more than just looking at some codes on a screen(nothing came up anyway). The second time, Mike told me to bring it on a day that was raining so they can drive it around and possibly figure out the issue since the issue happens in wet spaces or rainy weather. I left my car there for two days just for them to say my car was fine and they never even drove it around on the wet road like I was told they would do. Mike told me that would not make a difference in which was dumb because how can you figure out the issue if you re not checking the car in the conditions in which the car starts having issues? He said my car was crazy and tried to make it seem like I didn t know what I was talking about. I don t believe they did a thorough inspection on my car at all. They were so quick to just give up and not figure it out. When I left the mechanic the symptoms I brought up to Mike started happening again. How can you not see this as a mechanic?? It seems like they only do work on obvious issues like replacing the battery, replacing alternator, flat tires, and things of that sort. I highly don t recommend!

Mike and his crew are honest and reliable. Got to get here before they open, as it's first come, first serve. Happy to have a good mechanic in our hood!
