Like the lady siad, "DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE" ! They are not playing fair! They sound like they really care but, that's aN "OUT RIGHT LIE"! They will take your car in and leave it for 8-10 days ! Ooh, all of my mechanics have "COVID-19" They will charge you for "two" steps instead of one! I only needed 8oz's of Freon and they charge me for $79.00 for 1-pound (16oz's)! They charge me $52.00 (labor) just to "recover" it and $138.50 (labor) to "partially" charge it. That should only be "one" labor charge because the A/C Vacuum and Recovery process is only "one" step! You can purchase 14oz's of 134a (Synthetic-Freon) at Walmart with a gauge included for $26.99! They also charge me for the power steering pump fluid that I brought with the power steering pump and the lower hydraulic pump hose. I found out that it was the "Higher hydraulic pump hose so, I went to O'Reilly's and bought one for $22.00 to be delivered tin two day's. Nathan said no, I get one the next day for $42.00 So, I took I a refund and gave Nathan $42.00. By the way, Nathan "charged" me again for the $42.00 "high-Pressure Hydraulic Line ($62.00 now). But, he gave me the $42.00 after I "pointed" it out (receipts, etc..). I should have kept the one from O'Reilly's because he didn't put it on for 5-dyas later! Go figure! They "never" fixed my "Fog" lights! One was working now, both are out! Nevertheless, he said that the two oil filters that I brought were wrong! They were from Advanced Auto and "highly" recommended (Bosh & Fram). Again, he sold me one for $5.00 or so. Nathan also charged me "twice" for installing the power power pulley ($207.00 Remove and replace Power Steering Pump/Labor) and ($27.70/Labor for removing, replacing install Power Steering Pump Pulley). Again, this is only "One" step and "Not" two.. Finally, he told me that the reason why my battery isn't charging is that I need to replace the battery "terminals"! Okay, I said and he did! Please look at the pictures attached! Because the mechanic? who did it didn't clean/remove any of the "corrosion" that was inside of the battery-wires, it "shorted" out the full-charged battery to the point that it "wouldn't" take a "charge" at all. Furthermore, I had to get brand new battery and get a well-known mechanic to clean all of the wires properly and secure the wires to "stereo" battery terminals instead (see the 4th picture with the "gold" battery terminals).. Again, "DO NOT" take your care, friends, mother's, or even children Tonka Trucks to this business. One person say's one thing and the other person say's something else! Blowing-Smoke up everyone's behind! Run away fast!Service: Tire rotations

Piss poor communication. Nate has zero professionalism and will blame you with some excuse before taking responsibility for their actions. Zero accountability. All around poorly run business. Do yourself a favor, save the headache, save the time, save the money, and find another mechanic.

I took my vehicle to them to see why i had to add freon every summer, and to see if there was a leak. It was working when I took it, after they kept it for three months, when I picked it up my air conditioner didn t work period.

I searched everywhere in Central Georgia for someone that could work on my 1973 Toyota Hilux and these people were the only ones willing to try. And when they were finished I was finally able to drive my vehicle without any issues. Their work is exceptional and reasonably priced.

Biggest thieves in Macon Georgia!!! My parents 4 Catalina converters was stolen off their Ford Ranger truck along with breaking off 2 sensors. The owner told my Dad they would take care of it that it happened to 4 other vehicles that night. Only making up excuses for days just to tell him it was their responsibility if part stolen. I believe my parents were taking advantage of because they re elderly. This going to cost 1500 dollars in damages caused by this business. These folks are crooks I believe the owner was involved.

We took our Ford ranger to have transmission fixed ...it was there 3 weeks...finally we went to pick it up only to discover our converter was missing. They left the truck out front and claim someone had stolen it..said they had 4 stolen that night...we think it was a inside job we paid 3200.00 cash ...now they are refusing to replace converter ...don't trust Nathan....They don't like old people...Service: General repairs & maintenance

We were helped by Robert, who came highly recommended by my dad. He was super helpful and gave a ton of great information. He told us more about our generator than the actual generator dealer mechanic did. Would highly recommend.

This place is unorganized and doesn't seem to want my business. I've had my front brakes done here and the work was good but took much longer than quoted. However three times I've tried to have other work done (twice oil change and once a power steering hose) and was basically asked to take my business elsewhere because they were too busy. I don't think I'll be wasting any more time even checking with them in the future.

Never again. 37 codes read from a emissions test and couldn't figure out the problem. Said my front end is the problem. Sorry not sorry but I'm pretty sure that a front end has nothing to do with the performance of a transmission. And ya it was shaking when braking because like I said on the phone it was due to bad rotors, brakes, and calipers, and boom fixed. Thank you for wasting time on my vehicle.

I'm disappointed to say they are unprofessional, rude and don't communicate accurate honest information. Please do not waste your time. My vehicle sat for over two months and I still had to tow my vehicle to another shop even after I purchased the part that they attempted to purchase from a junkyard twice. Then they didn't even attempt to install the part because it was raining and they a six bay shop.

Only giving one star because I have no other choice. WORST "SO-CALLED" MECHANIC'S EVER! DO NOT waste your time or money with these people. I took my car to them because of a rattle sound. It was driving fine, just a rattle sound when running.They kept my car for months and months. Turned out, the rattle was simply the heat shield was loose and had to be tightened back. We had to take it to the dealership to repair everything IAMCO ruined. My car would not even crank when we arrived to pick it up.I paid them over $2,500 to destroy my car. The dealership found they had unhooked my A/C and did not reconnect it, removed my air filter and did not replace it, left bolts out of my timing cover, valve springs were over-tightened, and the connector terminal retainer was damaged. I had to pay an additional $950.00 to repair all the damaged they caused.When we confronted IAMCO with this information, they refused any refund and the manager of the shop, Nathan Mauldin, became angry and began using profanity. My husband had to remind him that he was a customer and he wanted to discuss this issue as adults. Very unprofessional and horrible service.They promote themselves under false pretenses. Their mission statement from their website is Honor our Founder by providing valued products and services to our clients through our passion for quality, ingenuity, and dedication to success. In my experience, the only passion they have is to make as much money as they can with the least amount of service possible.

Solid group of hardworking guys, Robert treated us like family since the 1st phone conversation and provided more assistance than we could have ever expected, my daughter was broken down 12+ hrs away from home and these guys made it a priority to have her safely back on the road ASAP and they did exactly that, for around half the price Firestone quoted me! Thanks again Robert and friends all the way from Northwest Ohio
