Auto repair service near Fairmount, GA

Mike took the boat to Happy Boaters here in Cartersville to get it ready for summer. The owner, Dave, quoted $175 to get it ready for summer.  As he was asking us questions, I got a bad feeling. My gut was telling me he was trying to find out how much we knew about boats so he could BS us and get more money out of us. I told Mike my feelings when we got home. Sure enough, Dave called us to say the engine was shot, but hey, he could put in another for $7,000 or "take it off our hands" for $3,600 and put us in a $15,000 boat. I disagreed and told him I wanted a second opinion. He then got haughty and told me that would be a waste of money. I instructed not to do any more work and we would pick the boat up. They had dismantled the outboard and other parts when we picked the boat up. He still wanted the $175, but did cut it down to $125. We took the boat home. A couple of Mike's friends started working on it and, guess what, the engine started right up. There was a kill switch to be turned on, apparently. We approached Dave again, showed him the video of the boat starting, and wanted our money back. He said he had to talk to the guy working on it. We complied and one of our friends went with us to talk to him. Dave had to talk to him alone. When he was done, Dave came out and said he wasn't going to give our money back because we "paid him for an opinion." I said, no, we paid you to get it ready for summer. You didn't do that. He said he didn't know what miracle happened to get the engine running, but he stood by his opinion the engine was blown. He also claimed he didn't want us to spend any money on the boat and advised as such. I called him on his BS and he called me a bully. My advice, do not take your boat to this guy.

Let me first say that the people are very friendly until a problem arises. I bought an SUV from them 8 months ago. I needed a vehicle to drive back and forth to work and was safe for my children, as I didn't have a vehicle. I clearly stated this when talking to them in which they sold me this vehicle. I had my down payment money plus taxes in hand. The next business day I had to bring it back, I told them something was not right it was jumping and you couldnt keep it on the road after it had been cranked for around 30 minutes and it was roaring. Freddie was who I spoke to and I handed him the keys. He proceeded to tell me he drove the car from South Carolina with no problems and nothing was wrong with it. They took it to their mechanic and the hubs were bad and a few other things. I got it back and the steering wheel was sitting vertical instead of horizontal where the mechanic had done work with the tires and never aligned it. So I told them this and they had it aligned. I continued to have problems as the real issue was never resolved as to why it was jumping. It was throwing some codes so I had this checked out and was told it had timing issues and the transfer case module was bad along with some other sensors. I brought it back to them and they again brought it to another mechanic. He proceeded to do all kinds of work and sent them the bill. I called the mechanic and asked Him if he had drove the car and it was fixed. He told me he had been driving the car and that everything was fixed worked like a dream. I drove it not even a mile from his shop to the car lot and it was jumping all over the place! I told the owner of the dealership to drive it and he didnt know what was wrong and told me he was going to bring it back to the mechanic himself in the morning. He was upset that they had charged him close to $2000 + $500 for the first time it went to the mechanic. Needless to say I got the car back and now it has no power, It roars when you try to do 30 MPH and I cant drive it. I went to talk to them about just bringing it back, and they got hot headed and started telling me that every car that was brought back was making it harder for them to retire. I am thinking WAIT A MINUTE... I pay you $109 every week without fail for a vehicle that I have had problems with since the day I bought it, cant get my children to school in or myself to work in...You have not offered me another vehicle or to make it right when your mechanics cant fix the problem and YOU PLAY THE VICTIM and act like its MY FAULT you cant retire. Or that you paid the mechanic bills. YOU should have had all the problems resolved BEFORE SELLING THE VEHICLE and it wouldnt be coming back to you. Its not my fault that you sold me a vehicle that didnt run. I paid my hard earned money of $1500 + $109 weekly payments for the last 8 months and all I expect in return was a GOOD RUNNING CAR. Before you buy a car from this car lot have it inspected by someone you trust because once the papers are signed they no longer care!

HORRIBLE Place. Andreas is a Thief. He had my husbands truck there and stole the radio and several other parts off it. He tried to lie and say there was never a radio in it, but we had proof abd a friend that went there to get my daughter's CD out of it one day. NO NOT TRUST HIM!

I just bought my car at Cherokee Auto Sales. They made me feel good about my purchase and my car is great. Thank You

In 2016, we bought a 2009 Mini Cooper S from Selective Imports. We did some reputation checking through local contacts first and proceeded after receiving good feedback. Sales Manager Jim was great, as was the owner, Sam. The price was fair. The process was easy and no pressure. We intentionally waited several months before posting reviews to make sure we were not unduly influenced by emotion (very happy all around) and to make sure no unforeseen mechanical issues evolved. We had one minor issue with a fog light. Selective fixed it free of charge. We had one issue within about a month of purchase with an engine warning light. Selective offered to investigate and assess resolution free of charge, but we declined because we had already put them to a lot of trouble over the fog light and they had been so gracious about it. It turned out to be a $100 vacuum hose replacement. We've had no issues since then. We will buy our next car from Selective. Jim and Sam are good men and true to their word.

I had a tire blow out on the interstate. Eddie came out and helped. He arrived earlier than expected and was friendly and helpful. He patiently answered my child's endless questions as well. Even though he was only assigned to tow, he stayed with me and changed my tire as well. Great service and help when I needed it.

The oil plug fell out of my car while I was driving, and my engine needed to be rebuilt due to the damage that it sustained. Tim was the worst mechanic that I have ever worked with. He originally told me that it would take about a week and cost me around $2,500, and he ended up having my car for 5-6 weeks and charging me $3,800. I'm not blaming him for the increased cost and extra time, because I understand how those things go. However, when I started questioning some of his extra charges, like $800 for a machine shop that he allegedly had to take parts to, he refused to show me a receipt (which he is legally not obligated to do), and then got very defensive and started bullying me. I never said I wouldn't pay him, but he told me that I had to pay in either cash or a money order because he didn't trust that my check wouldn't bounce, even though I had already paid him over $2,000 in checks that cleared without a problem. He threatened to sue me several times and called me an immature child, all because I wanted to see a receipt for the machine shop. Before we started having our disagreements, Tim kept telling me how he appreciated my trust, and I now believe that he appreciated it so much because he saw it as an opportunity to take advantage of me. He even went so far as to ask me what my credit score was, and then propositioned me to co-sign a business loan with him. I thought that was extremely unprofessional. Personal problems aside, my car ran perfectly before Tim did work on it. Since I got it back, I have had problems with the transmission skipping, as well as with the electrical system. When I informed him of the transmission problem, he was defensive again and claimed that it had nothing to do with the work he did. I would never let Tim work on my car again, and I would advise everyone I know to avoid utilizing his services as well. I am very disappointed with this business and mechanic.

RUN!!!!! I wish there was a rating much lower to give because 1 star will be more than generous. I took my car for a diagnostic, for 4-5 days we inquired about the results..no call. Later after numerous calls later we were told their mechanic had a mishap..still waiting..didn't hear back anything until the 5th and 6th day..I WAS then charged almost $200 for a diagnostics with a simple receipt, NO SUMMARY OF CHARGES OR RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTICS..Which I was told I could pick up on the 12th day of dealing with them. But yet when I question their business practices, I'm accused of being confrontational and poor ! Oh! and racist!.. Just because I expected an reasonable answer for such charges with minimum communication or detailed explanation of their findings. I took my Mercedes to Southern Imports in Kennesaw, dealer level expertise,professional treatment.. without the dealer prices.
