Sean is the consummate professional. He provides excellent service and is a honest man who will take great care of your vehicle. I have been carrying vehicles there for over a year. He has always provided excellent service at a reasonable price.Mike Carroll
I could not have found a better shop to service my 2004 Honda Civic. My car sat for a year until a friend suggested I call North Georgia Auto. They picked up my vehicle from my home and replaced my engine and clutch in November 2018. My Civix has run really well every since. Sean is very nice, professional and available to answer any questions. They stand behind their warranty and commitment to customer service.
North Georgia Auto did a great job placing a new engine in my car. Whenever I’ve called or went by, Sean does a great job explaining the parameters of my car’s inter workings. He also stands beside his work. He required I come back to do a check up on my engine and he was very helpful and knowledgeable about what to expect. I’d go back in a heart beat, he’s a straight shooter with fair prices, and great work! Thanks North Georgia Auto!
They did a great job when they replaced my engine. 3 years later I had them replace a transmission in another vehicle. Same great results
This is definitely a good repair shop to go to. They have helped me out with so many things, especially with saving money. Their work is honest, the prices are good and they have real warranties!To update, its been about 2 years since I had my engine and transmission rebuilt in my truck and not one day of trouble. When I needed my a/c system replaced, they were about $400 cheaper than anyone else.
Wasted $4000 + on a trash engine.I had an engine replaced on a Ford Explorer. They offered a 6 month warranty. The engine lasted about 5 months and 2 weeks. I called to let them know the engine had failed before the 6 months. The owner told me it was past the 6 months mark. They counted from the time I dropped off the vehicle rather than when they repaired the vehicle. The owner is very shady. I do not recommend this place. Youve been warned.
I contacted Sean at North Georgia Automotive after we experienced engine failure on the Subaru Tribeca. Sean was super informative and professional. He loaned us a car at no cost and replaced the engine on the car. The car now runs great just like new. I highly recommend north ga automotive and will only get my cars maintained by Sean and his mechanics. Thank you Sean for a terrific job. We really appreciate you and your employees!!!
We have been working with North Georgia Automotive for years now. You can not beat his prices and service. When my car was wrecked I took straight to Sean. When we needed a transmission, timing chain or general maintenance on both vehicles , you wont find a better place or prices!!! I recommend all of my friends to him. He has saved us thousands over the years. Thanks for always being there!
Sean is a good man! He has taken care of every car I brought to him, without having to return for same problems. He put a new transmission in my marquis, fixed engine and upper and lower ball joints. And I just had a car accident in my Nissan, and he fixed all up like it never happened! Thank you SeanWill always bring my vehicles to you!!!!!!!
My husband and I own a company that has several trucks on the road. We have had many repairs done at this shop. My husband is pretty knowledgeable about auto repair and knows when a mechanic is fair. He believes this shop to be fair and do adequate work. Recently, we had a repair that was not correct. We took the truck back in and it was repaired correctly with no fuss. Good guys.
I just had Sean and his crew replace the engine in my 2005 Nissan Altima. I have worked in the industry for over 10 years. Sean is very honest and up front about everything. A loaner car, and towing all the way from Conyers, were included in the price which made the price even better. The engine he installed looks like a brand new crate engine. It runs smooth and quiet, like new with plenty of power. When he discovered during the engine swap my exhaust manifold catalytic converter was almost completely clogged, he replaced the catalytic converter for his cost. No markup on the price of the part and no additional labor cost. Let me tell you, folks, this is unheard of in the automotive repair industry. Sean is a stand up guy who does an excellent job for a great price in record time. My car was ready less than 48 hours after Sean had first opened the hood. I know he cant always do it that quick, but I was seriously impressed with that. If you are reading these reviews and looking for a reputable shop, just look how many 5 star reviews he has versus the 1 stars. When you read Seans responses, its clear the unhappy people refused to listen to his advice and made their problems much worse because of their stubborn refusal to listen. I also used Sean in 2013 to replace the transmission in my sons 2007 Honda Civic. I had a great experience then, as well. North Georgia Automotive is the place you want to have you car repaired and serviced. Sean has been here for 20 years. He isnt going anywhere. Thanks Sean
All I needed was a phone call to rate 5 stars for the customer service. one of the most pleasant phone calls ever! at first I was like how long do I have to hold for for a salvage yard... BUT then Jenny answered the phone and was extremely polite and helpful! although they didnt have the car I was looking for, she suggested using car-part, a website that locates parts at all surrounding yards. worth that short wait!
The best auto repair experience I have ever had!My 2004 Mitsubishi Galant died of engine failure at 225K and I decided to replace the engine as opposed to buying a new car.Sean and the folks at North Georgia Automotive were able to replace my engine for me at a great price and was even nice enough to let me borrow a loner vehicle while my car was being repaired (loaner only offered on MAJOR repairs btw).Like most of us, I have had my share of negative experiences with shady mechanics and rip - off repair shops, and I assure you this is not one of them!Great service, and great work. my car now runs like new and I am extremely happy. the only mechanic I trust in the Atlanta area now.
Picked up my chevy truck last month had a them rebuild my transmission &transfer case.my truck never shifted this nice and I have had it for 10 years Shawn was very helpfulAnd the staff was nice. I called lots of shops for the money and warranty this was the Best.
Sean the owner runs a great shop. Honest & fair..Hes repaired 2 engines & a transmission in several old cars.
I was looking for a new or used engine for a 2005 Cobalt and found these guys on Craigslist. I was worried at first because the price was much better then everyone else I had tried - plus, you never know who or what you are getting on Craigslist.After speaking with Sean for just 5 minutes I felt comfortable enough to agree that they should do the work on my vehicle.They replaced the engine within 2 weeks. Unfortunately, my contract position ended and I needed an extra 2 weeks to pay them.They worked with me on the payment as they did not harass me at all or make any threats (or any of those mafia techniques).I have had my car back for over a month now and, although the engine had 45K miles, runs better than ever!!! I have driven out of state and I drive nearly 100 miles roundtrip everyday to and from work.I would recommend this shop to anyone!Frank
Sean is a super nice guy. Exremely helpful and really honest. He helped with a troublesome truck- great advice! I recommend him hands down. Thank you Sean for all your valuable insight!
Ive been around automotive industry for over twenty years, seen some crooks and some great mechanics. Transmission went out on my 99 Ford F-150, calling around for prices North GA Automotive beat best price by Over $1K and threw in a tow and loaner car. Truck was fixed on time and at price quoted. Its been over 6 months and 10k miles no problems at all. I will recommend North GA Automotive to all my family and friends. Im sitting in their waiting room now expecting quote for leaking freeze plugs that another garage quoted $1500 to replace, Owner just came out and said I was fixed and ready to go....what?, turns out it was a hose clamp leaking and his time and a clamp to make repair is NO CHARGE. I spoke earlier of crooks, well that was a garage in cartersville that wanted $1500 to change freeze plugs that are not bad...Give North GA Automotive a shot at your next repair, youll save and be glad you did.
My engine recently went out on my GMC Jimmy. I had done business with NG Auto before when buying used parts for vehicles. Shawn, the owner, was always very polite and courteous and is very knowledgeable about all kinds of makes and models. I knew that his main business was rebuilding engines and transmissions, so i gave Shawn a call. I was glad i did. Shawn sent a tow to pick up the vehicle from my driveway, and gave me a great price and warranty for the engine rebuild. On top of that, Shawn even provided a free loaner vehicle for me to drive, so i didnt have to pay for a rental car for a week or miss work. My vehicle runs better now than it ever has (ive owned it for 6 years), and would recommend this place to anyone!!
This place is horrible. Don’t trust the manager Sean, he’s a con artist. He cheated me out of $2,500. He had to replace my engine twice! And the 2nd replacement engine still blew on me after only a week of getting it back from him. The 1st time he replaced it, the engine only lasted not even 24 hours. This place needs to be shutdown. The customer service is horrible. He cursed me out the 1st time I had to call him back about how the engine he literally just put in my car blew up on me. He don’t like you asking any questions that concerns you and your car or anything that questions his work. He has a bad habit of cutting you off when you try to speak and doesnt allow you to get your point across. I’m in the process of putting together a lawsuit against this company. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THIS PLACE. Sean (the manager) will scam you and rip you off!
The guys at North Georgia really take care of you.Had a used motor put in My Infinity G 37 over 1 year ago and its doing great.Just had some body work done and it looks like new.I love the free car they give
I had a motor put in an im very very pleased. Run like new. Thanks again.
What a great experience we had with this repair shop!I have a Toyota tundra truck had it at a repair shop in Woodstock for aNoise in the rear of my truck was told my rear differential was badand it would cost $2400.00 i was shocked.After taking it to North GA Autoit was my wheel bearings wow what a great savings my bill was $699.89the staff was great thanks
We just took our 2003 Maxima back for the three week follow up and it is running beautifully! The team here took great care of our vehicle and got us back up running. Thank you for the professionalism and quality workmanship! We will be back!!
Shawn is a great businessman. He is upfront and straightforward. He did alot of good work on my 1964 Mercury and did not charge an arm and a leg. I like the way he takes care of his customers.
I was pleased with the work that Sean did to fix my blown head gasket and the way he helped me with financing. However, I didnt understand why he didnt noticed that the car was leaking oil since he was repairing the engine anyway?
I accompanied my brother to this shop to pick up his car. From the moment we walked in the manager? Owner? had a horrible attitude, stuck his finger in my brothers face and then proceeded to punch him! With my son and other customers in the waiting room. I was terrified. We called 911 and they were more than familiar with him and his shop. Later that day the job was finally fisnished, when we went back to pick up the car he sent his machanic out there to try and be aggressive and intimidating. It was a horrible experience for my family. Dont be lured in by the low cost because you get what you pay for.....Now Ill wait for him to call me a loser like he did other customers that didnt have good experiences
I had an engine and transmission replaced. Everything was great. Had to have one part replaced 5 months later and Sean covered it under warranty and everything has been great since then. I highly recommend NGA.
I brought my mustang here for a new engine. Reasonable pricing, good warranty, they offer a lot of extra stuff for free, I like this shop, the owner is a really nice guy and I definitely recommend to anyone
My experience with North GA Automotive was fantastic. My repair was not only inexpensive but it was also completed in a very timely manner. I highly recommend this shop. Great service.
Great place to get your vehicle fixed or worked on. i own a variety of cars from diesel trucks for my business to my 67 Camaro to my wifes SUV. You will not find a better place to get your vehicled worked on.Prices are good and workmanship is out of this world.I usually dont write reviews but this place is worth it.
The staff is so helpful. I took my vehicle in for repair after an accident, and they had it looking brand new in a couple of weeks. I highly recommend their services!
The man that runs this shop is SEVERELY professional. His prices are always reasonable. Big companies better watch their backs. I will ALWAYS continue to take my business there because of his honesty, memory, and professionalism.
Sean is great! Upfront and honest with his prices and will do what he can to help you out.

Excellent communication, honest, timely, beautiful work, low prices, and friendly! I will definitely go back for all of my car needs. I have already referred this company and I will continue to do so!
The salesman i spoke with most definitely stands out as being unique in the sense makes him light years ahead of his compensation for being the most indifferent, rude, and negative salesman Ive ever dealt with!!!!Btw, the information that he did offer was 100% inaccurate.
Had my jeep towed in after my water pump went bad. After calling around they were the cheapest and did it quickly. Great shop. I highly recommend them.
Hey this place is great I had my engine replaced with a new 5.4 Ford F 150 motor. i checked with many different shops no one even knew about the cam problem they replaced it with one that bypassed the cam phaser and its great I have more power and no more cam problem thanks to North Georgia auto
We have used this shop for years always give great workI trust them we have.The work that thy have done for me has been great
These guys were very helpful and replaced my engine for a reasonable price and within a reasonable time frame. Very good shop for engine replacement needs.
Hes sold me the wrong part to my car. so I called him and he told me he would look for another one. It took me a week of calling cause he keep pushing it back. When he finally looked he told me he didnt have another one to replace it with So I ask him for a refund he told me theres nothing he could do and hung up on me bad business wouldnt recommend it!
I love the staff always make you feel like you are very IMPORTANT I have been A. Customer for years The first time I took my car in I was impressed with the price and service every once in wile I get my oil changed at a quick lube place they always tell me I need a ton of repairs I always take it to Shawn and get the truth fair price great service
This shop has really impressed meI have had lots of work done by themI just had a motor put in my 1972 chevy And its great they really got me back on The road great price and service
Horrible experience. Poor customer service. After $2700 still cant drive my 03 Expedition, cause they replaced my engine and screwed up my electrical system.
Called ahead and managed to get a small trans fluid leak fixed quickly and properly at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Very kind. I had a woeful rxperidn
The guys at North Georgia did a great job on my ac its cold as everThanks
Shawn takes great care of his customers. Prompt service and fair prices.
Owner is very accommodating and does great ,fair priced work! Highly recommended
The turn around time has been very quick and the price is fair too. I highly recommend this business! very professional guys!
Ive got a starter problem (appears to be), starter checks out OK. When the key is turned to start, the motor turns over painfully, maybe 1/2 turn (maybe shorting out), and my f150 wont start.
I had an engine swapped here. There were no surprises. It was ready when they said it would be. They really stand behind their work.
Great customer service. Very knowledgeable and great prices! They have earned all of business from now on! Thanks
Just all around horrible work on my car, horrible customer service .
Had some unexpected car troubles. North GA Auto got it fixed in a timely manner and didnt rip me off! THNX!
Great place fair prices and they treat you good straight up no games no non sense got treated with respect and very satisfied with work
Found the part I needed for 1/4 the price of parts store ...Even helped me out on after hours pick up ...NEVER PAY RETAIL!
Very respectful, and I always feel like Im treated fairly and given a great price.
Not happy at all about the customer service. They Do Not stick to their word. Very messy and Unorganized place of Business. Wouldn’t recommend this Company to Anyone.
Great mechanical work and very fair pricing

2022-01-18Sean and his team are Amazing!! I had to replace the Engine on my 2013 Chevy Equinox. Never being in this situation before i was skeptical not knowing what to expect. i knew i did not want to get another car note at least not right now. I came across NGA and WOW! Sean not only took the time to explain and share his years of knowledge. He really stands behind his work. Its been two months and my car is driving great! So happy with my decision. Thanks Sean and team!!

2021-09-12I found NGA online after my engine blew and left me stranded on the road. This happened after over a year of paying other mechanics in my area and a well established auto repair shop in a nearby county charged me thousands of dollars to do the same repairs over and over again. Almost every week they were fixing something in my vehicle. My engine was just repaired in March by them and by July it flatlined with us on the road. I got tired of what I felt was gender scamming and called NGA. I was concerned about how far they were from me, but when I read the reviews and their services listed I decided to give them a call.Shawn and his staff were very understanding, helpful, and empathizing. He assisted me with securing financing and also gave me a loaner vehicle to get me around my daily activities. He also sent a tow truck to get my vehicle that was approxiamtely 52 miles away.He fixed my engine and front end and explained to me all the do(s) and dont(s) regarding the issues with my truck, and how to avoid these expensive repairs. My ride is now quiet and smooth. It is sad that I have to drive 52 miles to get a honest job done, but it was worth every mile. I wish I had found them sooner because all that money I previously wasted could have split this bill, I now have for some real work done, in half. Thanks to Shawn and his team, I am now riding with confidence instead of fear.

2021-06-06I have never made a review online let alone a negative one until now. The reason i am doing it now is because im looking for a shop to replace the engine in my lifted truck for the second time and i keep seeing this shop pop up and they did it the first time. I was loured in by the low price and free towing but you get what you pay for. I was pretty confident in the shop after speaking to shawn the first time. When he told me he could install a used motor with only 60000 miles on it and guranteed a warranty of a certain amount of miles or time. Once they finished i went to shop to pay and asked for some documentation on the motors miles so when i sold the truck i could prove it was low miles but he wasnt able to provide any documentation at all and once i paid he then told me that he cant stand behind the warranty because its lifted which i can understand the extra stress itputs on the engine but you dont take someones money then tell them that. you tell them that before you do the work and take their money. Which was super shady in my opinion. There was no going back at that point though so i got in mytruck they just repaired to leave and crunk it up and the belt was squeking so loud and they lubed it up to stop it from squeking. I drove home and noticed an oil leak so i had to take it back to their shop to fix it. All was good after that until my motor slung a rod prematurely not long after and shawn. Told me he couldnt do anything about it.. That engine replacement cost me over 5000 dollars and im right back where started.

2021-02-17Shawn and his crew did an amazing job on my older vans transmission. They took their time and did it right. That to me is very important. I would highy recommend their shop and work ethics. Great job ! They even loan you a car while yours is being serviced.

2020-09-01I had an engine put in my Cherokee xj here, they did a great job. He even pointed out a couple things that needed to be done but didnt try to sneak them in to the repair and charge more. Some people may call them brash or rude, I call them honest. After I got it back a the check engine light came on and even after I lost my temper he called me back and walked me through what to do. By the way it was in no part their fault and with the help he gave me I was able to track down the culprit and fix it easy. I would recommend this shop over any Ive dealt with in the past.

2017-04-14I just picked up my car from Shawn. He did a great job and the price was incredible. Its hard to find a trustworthy mechanic, especially those of us that know nothing about cars, and I really felt taken care of. My car wouldnt start so we didnt know exactly what was wrong with it, so Shawn and Bill from another location spent many hours diagnosing my issues and they kept me posted throughout the process. I would recommend them to anyone.

2014-10-06My experience with this company and the owner was a positive one. From the moment I called to have my car towed, until the work was completed- I received great customer service. The office staff, the owner, the tow truck driver, or anyone I came in contact regarding my car-treated me kindly. I have experienced a lot of issues with my car- from the engine, to the radiator-all sorts of stuff, but the owner was always upfront, honest, and told me like it was- cant hardly find that type of personality (especially in the car repair industry). I appreciate the work, the cooperation with my payments, and the overall kindness shown. I will recommend this company to anyone that ask. Thank you

2019-04-22I would recommend this company for engine replacements. I have had my 06 S40 back for a little more than two weeks, and she is running good. The customer service was great, the responsiveness to phone calls was great, and the people are friendly. Feels like they want to do the right thing by you, which was the most nerve racking thing when initially making the decision for someone to do this work. So far I have been more than pleased with the experience. Thanks guys.
