Great small business. They're honest folks and they stay busy for a reason... I think they'll do just about anything you ask as long as they can find the time and you're willing to pay for it

Jimmy is the best. I mean it. He fixes it, and it is Right. He is honest and you can rely on his work. He is straight forward about his work. His standards are simple... Figure it out, fix it right the first time, and know that you can rely on the repair. I can do a lot of car mechanics myself but I had him put in a crate engine, 350 trans. In my 85 El Camino. I admire the virtue he and his team brought to installing and repairing it all and the other potential problems that could arise. His business is a rare find in today's world. 183 Automotive is a slam 5 Star deal.

Hard to find someone to trust but Jimmy and his team are the real deal. They explain what they find and what the want to do, and it's always done right. It's the only place I go for repairs, even if there's a wait. Well worth it.

We have not actually had our Jeep worked on yet, dropping it off today, but just talking to Lynn was so calming to my nerves over it! Very understanding, she didn t make me feel silly for not knowing much about the vehicle and our needs (I ve run into that a lot!), and she didn t rush through our conversation- she really listened. A smile through the phone and taking time to listen means so much to a potential customer!! Thank y all!

The trouble shooting and repair process was excellent. Jimmy and his office staff are very pleasant and professional. My wife's vehicle had a bad hesitation and skip. The problem was diagnosed, and an appointment was made for 2 weeks later (they are busy and now I know why). I was allowed to purchase all the parts. Her SUV was finished about a day sooner and was less than the original estimate. I didn't ask, but was left with all the old parts so I knew everything that was discussed was replaced. I'll definitely bring my vehicles here for the mechanic work that I can't do, or have the time. Awesome 1st time experience. Just be prepared for a potential wait because it's a very popular automotive shop.

I called this place because they had towing included. I was crying my eyes out when I called, and the woman that answered the phone was so kind. She calmed me down and helped get me a tow truck. They stayed very informative the entire time. At one point they realized they needed to do some pretty expensive work, so they called me and explained what was going on before they did anything. Got my car back in 3 weeks. That is FAST for what I was having done. Plus all the cars they already had to do. When we got there to pick up my car, they were even nicer in person. Explained everything to me (this was my first time dealing with this) and sent me on my way. I am so glad I called them. I will use them from now on for any car repair needs!Service: Steering & suspension repair

Great service and friendly staff. Jimmy got my old Jeep tuned and running perfect. He also took the time to explain what he did and answered questions to help me on things that I can do on my own. Recommend for any automotive needs.

I've been using 183 Automotive for the past couple of years and have been extremely happy with their timely service and reasonable costs.I've had about a half dozen repair jobs and felt all were well done and that the costs were very reasonable.My last visit I dropped of a 12 year old vehicle I had just purchased for a timing belt and water pump replacement and asked them to look over the vehicle and let me know what else needed fixed.When I came to pick up the vehicle they told me everything looked good and I didn't need any additional work. When was the last time you went to an auto repair shop and they didn't try to find an extra three or four hundred dollars of extra work!Anyone that asks me to recommend a reputable auto repair shop gets sent here.

I've been doing business for years with 183 and always have great service! I own my own shop in pickens and when we have anything we are not comfortable taking on, we always send to these guy's. They even give us advice on car's at our shop even though we are a competitor. They are very experienced and will treat you like family!

My experience was not great here. (2yrs ago) They we're replacing the radiator, quoted me quite a low price *which is why I decided to try them out* cost almost $100 more than they originally quoted, and took almost 2hrs longer than they said. I was willing to get past all that but when they were done I saw them drive off the lot with my car (probably to test to make sure it wouldn't over heat) BUT 30 MINUTES LATER they get back and I go to leave and over a quarter of a tank of gas was gone! I was furious. Not to mention they screwed the hood on crooked so it wouldn't close correctly until we took it to have it worked on some where else and they fixed it. To each there own. I know people that swear by this place but I will not.
