Auto repair service near Doraville, GA

If you're seeking an auto repair shop that epitomizes honesty, reliability and talent, J&L Auto Service is where you want to take your vehicle. Gabe and his team there have been a breath of fresh air to work with. These guys are highly skilled and knowledge mechanics who are able to service virtually any automobile there is. We at Merlin Auto Group are very selective about who we trust with the vehicles offer for sale. It did not take very long for us to recognize the value of having a relationship with J&L. Our experiences thus far have been positive 100% of the time which solidifies the truth that servicing cars does not have to be the challenging process that it can quickly become in the wrong hands.

I have never left a review for anything but I just had the worst customer service experience which included waiting 2 days to be contacted, being accused of stealing, being called a piece of shit and told to fuck off. This was an experience that other people need to know about. My check engine light came on in my 2007 BMW X3 so I brought it into Carma Motorsports since it’s down the street from where I live. I dropped off my car on Sunday night and left the key in the drop box. I called on Monday morning at 8:30 to confirm with them that they received it. I was told by Jennifer that I would receive a phone call after they had looked at it. After never receiving a phone call and trying to call all day, I stopped there at 6 and was told that the phone and internet was down and that was why I never received a phone call. They told me the phones and internet should be fixed in the morning and I would receive a call then, but that they only things that need to be fixed are the ignition coil and air mass meter boot. On Tuesday, I finally received a phone call and received a quote for $1,600 to fix the ignition coil, air mass meter boot, and that I also needed all new front and rear brakes. After waiting over 36 hours to hear anything, this was not good news so I called around to get a few other opinions since that seemed pretty steep. I ended up finding somewhere else that could do all of the same work for almost $500 less. I called Carma and let them know of the lower quote and asked if they could match it. After being told no, I said I was going elsewhere and that I would pick up my car at 6. After arriving, I was told that I still owed $120 for the diagnostic check to find out what was wrong. I informed Adam and another man with a shaved head (unfortunately I didn’t get his name) that I was not going to pay that since it took them so long to get back to me with anything and that what they quoted wasn’t even close to a good price compared to what I was able to find elsewhere, and because no one had told me about the cost of a diagnostic check when I said I was picking up the car. I asked if they had an issue with that and the bald man told me did have an issue because it’s stealing. I responded by saying that I understand that their time is valuable but so is mine. I will never be going back and I’m going to make an effort to make sure other people don’t either.

Michael was a huge help. Just from our initial conversation, I knew I could trust him. He ended up saving me from a major repair cost and returning my vehicle promptly. I will take my truck back here from now on and will recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone. -Corey Ray

The technicians at Athens are very knowledgeable and informative, I have been going there for the past 4 years and have taken all of my vehicles to Nick and his team. I have never left out of there feeling like I was not treated like family and I have always had positive results post maintenance visits. Thanks guys you rock!!!

I would like to thank David Jacov and his staff for always helping me out! I have found a diamond in the rough for a business being honest, ethical, and always doing a great job. David and Team have always helped me out when I show up first thing in the morning. I have a 2008 GL550 which is in very good shape but seems to need some "TLC" every now and then. I would recommend MB Techs over any other place I have gone for service in the entire Atlanta area. You will NOT be disappointed and I have been to other places in ATL for repair and maintenance and this shop is THE BEST! David B. Atlanta, GA

These guys are great. They'll take care of your ride. Would recommend to others. Thanks guys!

Jeff and Phinah are honest proprietors and looking out for the well being of their customers. They recommend and use high quality parts, deliver on their promises, and charge REASONABLE prices! The service is careful, CLEAN, and on time! Great experience and service will keep you confident and coming back over and over for service. GREAT JOB!!! John B. Norcross, GA

I called several transmission shops looking for reasonable pricing for a rebuilt transmission, finally I called Tim at Dependable Transmissions Plus, he scheduled me to come in, give me price break down of all my parts and labor. Dependable Transmissions Plus was the most reasonable and I found comfort in allowing them to fix my car. When I gave him the go ahead to start the repairs, to my surprise, not only was my car finished as promised, He turned around and gave me a $100.00 discount. This guy seems very passionate at what he does and friendly. I absolutely trust the people at Dependable Transmissions Plus, with all my car care needs. Thanks Tim and Rashima

I have a classic car and am very protective of it. I trust these guys to handle it with care and do the best possible job. They have exceeded my expectations and I would be happy to give them my business again.

Do not buy from this dealership. BEWARE! STAY AWAY! We bought a car that had a head gasket problem. It ran fine for almost a month, but the Stop Leak that they used to "fix" the head gasket stopped working and caused damages to the cylinders in the block. Now I'm about to pay almost as much as what we paid for the car to get it fixed. Lesson learned. Get a reliable mechanic to run a full test on a used car. Make sure to ask them to do a leak test to be 100% sure. If you want to spend additional money for a used car, then go right a head and buy from these unethical people.

SOLD CAR KNOWING OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES AND NOT INFORMING SELLER purchased 06 chevy impala on 07/22 for 6500 cash.. advised the car was in great running condition. they fixed brakes which were scrubbing before purchase was final. The following morning i called informing of the awful noise coming from rear of car and they advised me to bring it back in on Monday and let them make sure brakes (which they ahd replaced at time of purchase) and catpillars were ok. On Monday 07/24 car was taken back in and ray - max and jose stated they would replace callipers and gave a loaner car to driver. we picked the car up on 07/26 and they stated they purchased a warranty since they did not hear the sound were were telling them about they didnt want us to have any issues with the running of the auto. we left and once again the noise started, which ray had told mr price if the noise happens again call us we want to make it right.we called the warranty after finding out the noise we are hearing is the rear differential (rear end) falling out of car. the warranty doesnt not cover this because it is an existing issue and the warranty is only been effective for 2 weeks and we will have to pay for the repairs. when i call and inform of the noise again like we had been instructed by ray i am told their hands are tied and there is nothing else they can do for us. after being told if the noise continues, call us and bring it back since wehn they had it to repair the callipers they didnt hear the noise, and here is warranty which is not worth a crap. when i called 08/07 and explained that the warranty would not cover this repair, jose states his hands are tied and that he mentioned to ray that i had called and that there is nothing else they can do for me. this place wants to show honesty and integrity, however 6500.00 cash and told car is in working condition? now i have a car sitting in the driveway thats paid for but not driveable? i am devastated at the lies of honesty they give a
