Dixons Automotive - Athens (GA)

5 /5 Payton Schubert: Great guys! Would defiantly recommend these guys if you are having any issues with your vehicle. Took my 2010 vw cc in for a check engine light and coolant gauge not working. After only having it there for a day Dixon called me saying it was fixed and ready to pick up. I also paid way less than I was expecting. I cannot explain how thankful I am for these guys help.

5 /5 B. Gloria “Glo”: Had my Volkswagen passat wagon picked up weeks ago to find out whats going on with wiring and fuel line, They did tell me in advance they had a couple of projects ahead of me but I still had it towed in for when they were ready to service it. Did a great job got it back a week later just a minor issue. Not Expensive at all.

1 /5 Sonny Jhaveri: It’s May be case of mis diagnose, but I’m the one who had to comes up with around $640 & my 2012 VW CC still have same problem. While I was driving my car, suddenly my panel light up like fire works,(the pic with 19 trip miles). So I tried to look for good repair shop & I see all 5star on Dixon’s Automotive, so I decided to give them my car for repairing on 8/21/18. Long story short they says (all details are in invoice) I need new turbo & speed sensor & battery are May be at fault to show all warning lights. Fast forward to few days for repair & when done on 8/24/18, they have change the turbo (which I supply & he inspect & said it will work) & speed sensor. And recommend to change battery. I happily paid $ 641.00 even though they didn’t take off scanning charges. Next day 8/25/18,I went to Auto Zone, where he told me that your CCA needs 540 & you have 620 CCA, so you are ok with your battery. Fine. So I start for Cornelia to see my cousin. When I reach commerce, ALL WARNING LIGHTS COMES BACK & my heart sink to … On 8/27/18 I went back to Dixon’s Automotive & he told me that I need new battery & it will take care of it, so I said fine put one in. When he called me in the late afternoon, he said that, even with the new battery, now we find that you need sensor on the right side(see the invoice;), & we find 2-3 more fault, we have to take care. At this point I lost my trust in their ability to diagnose & repair(at least my VW CC ). So I said please take the battery off & let me take my car & I left with SOUR FEELINGS OF LOOSING MY $640. Don’t take me wrong, Mr. Dixon was all gentleman he can be(1 star for that), but I was looking for good repair shop & fixing of my VW CC & wanted to drive out without any warning light. May be this was one of the bad mishap BUT I FEEL I LOST MY HARD EARN $$$ because of their mis diagnose or mis repair.

5 /5 Dusty Deaton: I had a break down last week in Colbert. I called Dixon’s and they got me in touch with a local towing company. When my car arrived they figured it out and got me back on the road quickly and for a fair price. Good, honest mechanics that take pride in their work. Great people to do business with.

5 /5 Mize Davis Not so crazy Now huh “CRAZY”: They are cut from good cloth! We had our oil changed in Athens a place weve used for years. They told us this time that our pan was leaking a lot. This was after they did the change. When my daughter stopped by I checked it out to see what a lot meant. It did show signs of a recent leak under there and after researching this pan I found it involved removing the AC, a motor mount and unbolting it from the transmission. Also, special tools are required to remove the mount. So, I brought it here for a second opinion. I chose Dixon because my son loves these folks and has had work done well here several times. All it took was a conversation about what I saw to point towards a different diagnosis. It turns out he was right and saved us hundreds of dollars. I know other shops would have just fixed what I told them to fix to get the extra money. Ive seen it too many times. Weve found a great shop. They do t grab low hanging fruit. They fix the real problem. They also provided a heads up on a few other things I had suspected. They dont sweat the small stuff. They do the right thing for the right price.. Honor and integrity and Character means everything. God bless them.
