We’ve been going here for years. They’re consistent, reliable, fairly priced, and they never ever try to upsell you on unneeded repairs.

Fantastic work on my 2004 Suburban. They could have said you need a compressor, dryer, condenser, you name it but instead, they were honest and only fixed what was broken to get my AC system back in form. Shops like this are the salt of the earth and becoming a rare breed. Thanks again.

I have been using Catherine's for 10+ years for my Chevy. They do great work at a reasonable price, and everything is always clearly explained by Geornette. I know enough about cars to know that Geornette knows way more than I do, and she has a great way of explaining everything in plain English so I understand the work that needs to be done, the steps they want to take, and the expected cost. I find them to be quite conservative in recommending work as well. The technician produces a great report each time, but unless something really needs repairs, it's not flagged as an issue (unlike other places I've been where every little thing becomes a recommended repair, which inflates the bill). I recently added a car to my fleet and tried to take it to a Mercedes specialist - big mistake. The repair estimate was over $1k for work that had already been done (that other garage wanted to redo it just in case it was done wrong the first time - seriously). I called Geornette and she got me in right away, listened to my concerns, and their team started diagnostics where the seller's garage had left off. They found a wiring issue that was much easier and less expensive to replace than the repairs suggested by the other shop. They are my heroes! Now I have two cars that I'll be taking here.

I have been here several times and they are always honest, quick, and fair in pricing! Recently had to call in about issues my car was having and the person at the front desk is so helpful!!!! 10 out of 10

Awesome service, always take care of my car! Thank you!

They’ve been extremely helpful after a rash of break-ins and the price wasn’t too bad. Although it is slightly unorganized.

Easy in and out with key drop & appointments. Quality service and good value. Suggestions for management... Consider improving the parking area soon. You almost need an SUV to navigate the standing water and potholes. Not easy to see the actual exit on your way out. Nothing fancy needed... just dump some more gravel around. That would help.

Honest mechanics - what a rare find. My only complaint is their appointments book quite far in advance bc they're so good!

An honest mechanic who also does good work at a fair price, how great is that? Even more valuable, trust the advice at Catherine’s—especially regarding my college daughter’s old car.

Echoing what others have said, transparent and honest workers here, after looking around for a while I'll definitely be bringing my car here for any needed repairs in the future and would recommend this shop to others too.

Fast, fair prices, upfront, and very nice people

I believe Catherine's Auto Repair is still thriving, after 20 years, because they are what they say on their website is true.... "Respect for you and your car” is not just our slogan; it is our mandate. We pledge honesty, integrity, quality, and excellent customer service" They are thorough, they are professional, and they have integrity. They are indeed excellent.

I have been taking both of our Mercedes to Catherine's for 4+ years and I am extremely satisfied with the services they provide. The staff is friendly, professional, and honest. They explain all of the services needed, options and costs. My cars have always been serviced quickly and at a competitive price. The quality of work is exceptional - I have never had to bring a car back for a 'follow-up' repair. I highly recommend this shop to anyone needing automotive repair services. They consistently provide excellent on time service at a reasonable price.

I've been using Catherine's ever since I moved to Atlanta and they've been nothing but amazing with the work they do and the service they provide. Whether it is just scheduled maintenance, service check-ups before big road trips, or recent car emergencies, they've always been reliable and informative about what's going on with my car and what they're doing to make sure it keeps running. They also have their customer's best interest in mind when it comes to things like the cost of repairs and locating the source of any issue so they know what needs fixing. I cannot recommend them enough.

Someone accidentally put Diesel fuel in my Jeep. Catherine’s auto saved my entire life with incredible service, communication on point and phenomenal pricing!


Dec 05, 2023

They worked me in, had my car ready by the end of my workday, and the price was more than fair. I would recommend this business to anyone who is in need of general auto repair work.


Dec 05, 2023

We had car troubles right before moving across the country and Catherine’s was amazing to work with. They answered all my questions and fixed our car very quickly so we were still on track for our move. I can’t recommend them enough!

love it .


Dec 05, 2022

Needed over $2,000 in suspension repair, they sent me pictures of progress and kept me up to date every step of the way. Thank you Catherine's Auto Repair, it was a pleasant experience


Dec 05, 2022

Absolutely my favorite place to take my car! They are always honest and never try to upsell you even if you don't know any better :-) very polite staff as well. Couldn't say enough nice things about this place!


Dec 05, 2022

After being told by Honda we needed over $3000 work, Catherine's re examined the car and told us what was really needed also it also saved us a lot of money. Could not be happier!


Dec 05, 2022

Been here a couple of times since my old guy retired and have no complaints. Each time has been pretty fast and cheaper than the dealer.


Dec 05, 2022

Fair price and reliable turn around time for repairs. Not always the least expensive, but they always do the job right.


Dec 05, 2022

I am extremely distrustful of mechanics, being a youngish woman, but I have never once felt like Catherine’s has been dishonest or tried to pull one over on me. They are quick, convenient, and do good work without being overly expensive. And best of all, I never feel talked down to.

I have never in my life even considering giving a mechanic a 5 star review, but Catherine's Auto Repair deserves it! Geornette was my point of contact and went above and beyond by giving me timely updates and working with my hectic schedule. She ran me through everything wrong with my beloved car in a way that I could understand without talking down to someone who doesn't know much about cars, and was always so kind. I dropped off my car alone in my flight attendant uniform, and let's be honest- a lot of mechanics would have taken advantage of that. But the price Catherine's charged me was unbelievably reasonable for parts and labor. I have been searching for a reasonably priced mechanic that I can trust since I started driving, and I FINALLY found them.

I used to go to my dealership for maintenance and I’m never going back. Catherine’s provided maintenance at a reasonable and transparent rate and even provided very candid advice about the long term maintenance of my pretty old vehicle. Whereas the dealer mechanic tried to sell me on repairs worth 1.5x the trade-in value of the car itself, Catherine’s (against their best interest in terms of getting my sign off on expensive repairs) was honest with me of the costs and of the fact that these one-off largest fixes will likely keep coming for an older car. They helped walk me through the trade offs of continuing to repair the old car vs considering getting or leasing a new one, and allowed me to confidently make the best decision for myself. Would highly recommend their service and their people!


Dec 05, 2022

One of the rarest and most valuable things in this world is an honest mechanic. They told me what my car needed and what it didn't and didn't try to get me to pay for anything I didn't need. I'm not taking my car anywhere else in the Atlanta area from now on.

I have used Catherine's for several years and have had a great experience each time. Last week, a friend's elderly father was in town and had card trouble. I knew exactly who to call. Catherine's was so helpful in getting him back on the road and safely back to his kids and grandkids. Catherine's diagnosed the problem quickly, found the part and repaired the car. They worked him in to their Friday schedule and absolutely made his day. Thank you for your great service!
