After Hours Automotive is EXCEPTIONAL! I broke down while on a road trip last night, no idea where I was, car wouldn't move. I googled nearby auto repair and After Hours popped up. And they closed at 10 (it was appx 7 pm). Reviews looked good, so I took a chance and dialed. I was starting to panic ever so slightly, but when Bryan picked up he was instantly amazing. Luckily I'd broken down right behind his shop, so he offered to come check on me! He got there, diagnosed the problem within about 5 minutes, and had me back on the road a couple hours later. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and all around amazing. If you're in the area and need auto help, please go see him! I definitely would again. 5 stars isn't enough!

The best mechanic I have ever been to, hands down. Being that they're open until 2 a.m. almost every night, the hours are very convenient for anyone working a 9-5 job, or any job that they don't get off from until around the same time most other shops close. Bryan Bridges, the mechanic here, is also just a genuinely good person through and through. He is very friendly and always has a story or witty comment to keep you cracking up while he's around. He does not over charge or try swindle you like other mechanics I've been to. You can rest assured that you'll have your vehicle back in a timely manner, and it'll be in good running order, no quick rigging just to get it moving enough to get down the street; he'll take care of you. You're more than just a make and model attached to a paycheck at After Hours. What makes this shop a 5 star shop is the fact that Bryan legitimately cares about the people that walk through his door, and that's hard to find in the world today, especially in a businessman. But I found it here at After Hours Automotive, and this will forever be my go to for anything any vehicular hiccup i have. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

Best damn mechanic in Georgia. Car died on the interstate twice and I couldn t figure it out, Brian had it figured in 5 minutes and charged a fair labor prices and I was back on the road in no time, also he doesn t price gouge for parts. Come see him if you want an honest mechanic that cares about his work.

Bryan Bridges is an angel. My daughter had a major car problem and had to get off the interstate quickly. She was leaking trans fluid and ended up having problem with throttle body and pedal. Bryan didn't charge extra for the parts as most garages do and his labor costs is more than reasonable. We would have paid lots more somewhere else. He truly cares about his customers. Thank you Bryan.

Mr. BRYAN BRIDGES told me he could install an air conditioning unit on the engine in the cab of my 1990 Ford F350 motorhome. The first problem that took me to him was the fact that my engine battery would go dead every few days even with recharging. New batteries were bought but same problem with not starting up engine. It would crank after charging battery but not stay running. There were also some other few little odds and ends I requested him to do. He also installed a 1500 W inverter. It took a couple of months. A lot of the work was done by a irresponsible teenaged helper.Before he started he said his work was guaranteed and he would even come help even if I broke down on the highway. O Reillys recommended him.Brian bought all the parts through him. Yes, he was friendly and funny and yes, he did do what I needed done.BUT all was not well! I had a lot of complaints about the quality of work done by the helper. Some Brian redid, others he did not. But my main complaint was the ALTERNATOR replacements! Yes plural alternators! Within a couple of weeks the NEW BATTERY began draining! No engine starts.Brian said the alternator was bad that he replaced for my old one. (Alternator #1). I had to drive the motorhome back to him instead of him coming to me. He was prompt about getting it done. Unfortunately same problem again! Same scenario. Recharged the battery and drove the motorhome back to him. Used a lot of gas! That time he took longer in responding to my calls for help. But eventually he did. He exchanged #1 for Alternator #2. He kept the motorhome for a few weeks. He said he had to eat the labor costs on replacing it. So ok. A few weeks after that, the replaced alternator went bad! Only this time I could hear a metallic like screeching coming from the alternator and the belt was shredded in LONG skinny strips throughout the engine compartment. Brian HAD NOT REPLACED THE ORIGINAL OLD BELT! I called him over and over but he NEVER RESPONDED! I was afraid to try to start the motorhome again. I went to O Reillys and asked if they could get in touch with Brian for me as I did not have Brian s home number. I told them this was the second alternator from their store. Paul, at O Reillys said they tried several times but Brian could NOT be reached. Making a very long story short, since the alternator was on Brian s account I could not get a refund without his permission and return of the current one. Brian still could not be reached. O Reilly had sold him two REfurbished ones. I had requested BRAND NEW ONE! Anyway about ten days later after NO contact from Brian I hired someone to come and remove the 2nd alternator and took it to O Reillys. They checked it! The bushings were BAD! They said Bryan had to give his permission before I could get a refund! No Brian, no refund of cash! Still no contact from Bryan Bridges. Finally O Reilly felt sorry for me and despite store policy they let me EXCHANGE the alternator for a 3rd one that was same stock number as the last 2. I BOUGHT a new belt. I had no choice but to get the same type of alternator again! So I had to foot the bill for removal and replacement of the 3rd alternator & belt. That was over 5 months ago. Different mechanic... no problems! I texted Bryan and expressed my disappointment in him but so far NO RESPONSE. I paid him in full without hesitation during this ordeal. Well over $2,000! But the new air conditioner in cab compartment seems to work SO FAR! I am still afraid to drive my motorhome across country(which was why I had the AC installed in the first place)! I am afraid the alternator will go belly up and now I know Brian WOULD NOT COME HELP AS HE had said! I hesitated putting this review on here but he did not do as promised. I just wish he HAD NOT TOLD ME HE COULD WORK ON MOTORHOMES! I also had to pay mechanic fee of $350.I will not ever recommend him ever to work on a class C motorhome engine!Services: Electrical repair, Engine repair, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Battery

I couldn't be more thankful for this company. I was traveling alone and my car broke down, I was nervous and not sure what to do because it was after 5pm. I called my husband and brother, and they searched nearby and found Bryan at After Hours Automotive. Bryan showed up and assessed the problem, took me to get the parts, took me to a hotel, then stayed up half the night fixing my truck. Came and got me in my fixed truck the next morning at the hotel. I was pleasently surprised at how honest and friendly he was, I highly recommend Bryan Bridges at After Hours Automotive, regardless what time of day it is.

Wife was traveling and the bolt holding one of the serpentine belt pulleys had bent and almost cut in half. I bought the replacement pulley at AutoZone but they didn't have a replacement bolt. This is in the middle of the night and one of the guys from AZ suggest I give Brian a call. This is like at 10:00pm, So I head over to After Hours Automotive, and not only does he find a similar sized bolt, but actually cuts it to match my damaged bolt. I replaced the bolt with the new pulley, put the belt back in and went on my way.Brian even calls me about an hour later to make sure I was on the road. They don't make mechanics like this guy anymore; Too bad I'm too far from him to justify taking my cars to him.

Great service at a even greater price. He is quick and courteous and can fix anything. Bryan has fixed 2 of my personal vehicles. A 1988 Ford F150 and a 2009 Toyota Camry. He can do it all.
