Zach is awesome! I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee that had a few issues and he was able to diagnose them quickly, called me right away to let me know what they were and how to fix them, gave me a very reasonable quote, AND fixed the car much faster than what I was expecting. He s professional and explained everything to me in lay terms that I could follow. Would recommend him for any auto work hands down. Thanks again!

I am VERY grateful that I found out about this shop! They helped me in an emergency situation when my '96 Subaru Legacy had the front left axle go out, right before my shift at work! They worked me in between there pre-schedualled appointments, to fix my axle the very next morning! These guys have really impressed me, and do very amazing work, at a VERY economical price. I will ONLY be using these guys as my mechanic, until I move someday from the Arden, NC area!!

One of the best mechanics in town. Zack is my go- to guy, started going there when I lived in Arden, but still go even after moving out to Leicester, on the opposite of town from them. It's the holy trinity of honesty, reasonable prices, and friendly service. Plus they get the work done fast despite only being open 4 days a week and booked up. I don't normally leave reviews online but this place deserves it. I tell my friends and family to go here anytime they mention car problems. Trust this place with my car's life lol

Zach at Altamont Auto Specialist is hands down, one of the best mechanics I have ever worked with, along with his team. I was referred to Zach by a long time client of his and since then have gone back to him about 6 times for all of my beat up old car s needs. He runs his business in an extremely professional and efficient manner while remaining personable, friendly and helpful. Zach is an honest mechanic who will go above and beyond to find and solve your car s problems and to work with you on whatever it is you need. Excellent communication, fair and honest pricing, quick repairs, and above all, trust worthy! Zach has helped us out plenty of times and has gone out of his way to make sure that our cars get what they need before leaving his shop. If you re looking for a trustworthy mechanic, do not look any further!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair

Zach and his team of mechanics are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and efficient. I had SO much trouble finding someone to accurately diagnose my van's troubles dolling out copious time and money that lead nowhere. Altamont Auto fixed everything the first visit! Their pricing is fair and they are an asset to the WNC community. HIGHLY recommend!

My brakes went out and I needed to get back home to Atlanta. I showed up when they opened and Zach was able to fit me in immediately and get me back on the road to get home. Really great customer service, and a great mechanic. Thank you so much to Zach and his team.Service: BrakesService: Brakes

I've had my share of seedy mechanics in the past so the integrity and high competence of Zach and his crew was welcomed. These guys are really good at what they do, have top notch communication skills and are honest. We are glad we finally found a place to handle all of our auto needs moving forward.

I was lucky to hear about Zach and his small crew through a co-worker. He specializes in vans, and I did a lot of work with him. He is truly a stand-up guy - not your average auto mechanic. Zach took the time to walk me through his processes, what he recommended and why. Several times Zach went above and beyond his job, showing what a good-natured human being he is. I'm now 3500 miles later, and my van is still running strong - the proof is in the pudding. Here's to Zach and his team! Cheers!Services: Transmission, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

I've taken my trusty old 2006 Hyundai Tucson here several times and each time I've been super happy with the overall service. Zach is very friendly, which is always a bonus considering some can be gruff and just want you in and out. They're VERY fair and reasonable with their services and, best of all, honest.

Best auto mechanic experience out there!!Zach and his team are so respectful, caring, and professional. Instead of dropping your car off to an endless line like other shops, you make an appointment and the team devotes a full day to make sure your vehicle is dialed in a timely manner. Zach took the time to explain all the repairs and made sure I understood what I was paying for, which as a young women, rarely do I receive that respect in the auto industry. I drive a Subaru Forester 2008 and it was evident how much they knew about this make and model. I live in Asheville and can say the drive is so very worth it.Can't recommend this shop enough!!Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair

Zach and his team have taken exceptional care of me. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Asheville area. They communicate very well and make sure your problems are fixed in a timely manner. I have visited Altamont several times now, and have walked out the door happy each time. Zach and his mechanics have fixed an issue on my vehicle which has baffled three other shops and several mechanics. If your vehicle needs some love Altamont is the place to go, hands down.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I purchased a 2003 Freightliner Sprinter with numerous issues with a few being unusual and complex. I found Zach through a referral from a friend and was told he does great work. Zach not only made the appropriate repairs, he went above and beyond protocol to return the van better than I left it His diagnostic skills, labor, and professionalism are top notch. If you need a mechanic that is tried, true, and stands behind his work this is the man for you!

Zach is a mechanic that knows what he's doing!! I spent a while reading reviews on other mechanics near me( I had a coolant issue with my car) when I brought the car in, he spoke with me both friendly and professionally. He was able to show me the problem and explain his previous experience with it and was able to give me an estimate promptly. His service was great. He had my car completed and fixed while I was at work. When I came to pick it up, he showed me what he serviced, what the problem was, and gave me a VERY fair price for the job. I am very pleased to call him my mechanic if I ever need help with my cars again!! Thanks again Zach!!

Zach is the best mechanic I've ever had. Very reasonable prices, doesn't sell you on fixes you don't need, always takes the time to thoroughly explain what's going on with my car. I recommend him to everyone I know.

Zach is the best! He is honest...does not make repairs just to finance a vacation...LOL We are always on a budget so his analysis of what HAS to be done and what can wait is appreciated. He even made do by cleaning a part instead of just replacing it like other places would. I haven't had any problems with that part since. He takes the time to explain why he suggests the repairs needed. His prices are more than fair for someone with his knowledge and abilities. I'm a business person so I can say that after several conversations with him, he's not just another mechanic, he knows what it takes to run a business properly and give great customer service. I value his integrity above all else. BTW: My husband and I drive all the way from Candler because he's the only one we trust with our cars and our money. I wish him the best of luck and as long as his biz is open, I'll keep coming back! Thanks, Zach!

Zach and his crew are amazing. He replaced my clutch so quick & perfectly it was remarkable. It was fairly priced and done right. The next day when I wasn t sure if my clutch felt right or not, I took it back to him and went for a drive. He checked it out and it was fine. (Just me not used to a properly functioning clutch). He even fixed the plastic piece under my car because it was rubbing when I turned my wheel a certain way. All for no charge. I really appreciated not being told the thousands of dollars worth of work my car needs (which it probably does). I plan on taking my cars here from now on. Anywhere else would be a mistake.

We use Zach for all of our commercial and personal vehicle repairs, tires, oil changes, alignments...etc. Zach and Otto are amazing and frankly are a godsend when it comes to operating our business with minimal vehicle downtime. Strangely enough i look forward to taking my vehicles in because i know it will be done right and i know they will find the cause of the problem rather than curing the symptoms. We recently put some tires Zach recommended on my love s vehicle and her minivan performed amazing during the most recent snow event! She absolutely LOVES her minivan and we all feel safer knowing the snow isn t going to be a problem. Thanks for everything!!!

If you re having car problems, I highly recommend Altamont Auto.I drove my Jeep up here on vacation when it started acting up. Brought it in on a Saturday, and Zach and his staff were extraordinarily considerate and able to fix it up fast and for a great price.Because they were kind enough to go out of their way for me; my girlfriend and I can now relax and enjoy the rest of our anniversary vacation. Thank you Zach and everyone at Altamont!!

I took my accord to Altamont with a suspected bad wheel bearing. Zach was able to get me in the next business day and after testing the car he gave me a call to discuss the repair and gave me a quote. He had the repair finished the next morning and gave me a call to let me know it was finished. The service was exceptional, his shop is clean and tidy, and his prices were very fair. I would recommend to a friend and I will be taking my cars there for any repairs in the future.

Altamont is the ONLY place I ve ever trusted with my ride. We ve been doing business with them for the last three years. They do a great job and keeping my mobile business up and running. Honest, reliable, and fair!

Finally a reliable and affordable auto repair service you can trust. Professionalism is the word to best describe Zach and his business. There s hardly a monetary value you can put on knowing the work has been done right the first time, but not to worry the prices are fair and reasonable as well as timely. I would definitely recommend friends and family that way so if you re in doubt look no further!

Had brake issues, Zach took my car in the very next day and had everything fixed by end of business hours. Even pulled me out into the shop to explain some things. Great service, great price, don't plan on going anywhere else anymore!

Zach is very nice and super smart. He worked on my daughter's 94 Lexus that had some real issues. He and his shop figured out how to fix the complicated problem. Now it runs like new!

Update: Zach saved me $2k by diagnosing the problem my car was having then looking up my car's warranty to tell me that the problems were going to covered at a dealership and having them repaired there instead. What a guy!!Took excellent care of our cars and helped me troubleshoot some horrible squeeking sound my car was making. Highly recommended.
