Magic Mike’s Automotive

I just moved back to Atlanta, but before I left, I took my vehicles to Mike M at Eddie’s Automotive for years, and I plan to take my vehicle back to him at my next service. These guys are knowledgeable, fast, friendly, and fair. I’ve never felt like my service was overpriced, and I’ve always felt confident that I was getting the best service at the best prices in town. Definitely check them out! Here’s a great example of why I take my car to them. I used to drive a Honda accord, and the dealership was telling me that I needed new brakes. I took my vehicle to another shop, who told me that I had 3 months left on my brakes. Then three months later (after getting a recommendation from a friend to go here), I took my car to Mike at Eddie’s and he checked my brakes and told me I had at least another 6 months more life on them… and about 6 months later, he changed my brakes at a great price (much cheaper than the dealer wanted) so go check out Eddie’s Automotive in Sandy Springs, you won’t be disappointed.

I read some reviews and a buddy of mine went to Eddies so I decided to take my car here.
I have an 02 Chevy Impala LS with 120K miles on it. I have been living in GA for a year+ and didnt get it to emissions or registered because I just didnt want to get it fixed. Since I am here for the long haul and I filed my taxes I figured it was time to bit the bullet and have it looked at.
Let me be clear, I do not know the first thing about cars. Mike diagnosed the problem pretty quickly and quoted me a fair price for labor/​parts for a air pump so it would be on track to pass emissions. There were other problems but this was the one that would sideline me at the emissions station.
After a few days I began to worry but Mike was confident he would have this resolved for me. Mike drove my car for a few days and got it to a point where he felt comfortable to get the emissions taken. They took the car and got it to pass while in their possession. I did not have to worry about a thing. They not only fixed the problem with the vehicle, they MADE SURE I PASSED MY EMISSIONS. No questions asked.
I would recommend these guys to anyone. I really feel like this shop is one of the most honest I have ever been to… if you need some work done get to Eddies. Thanks guys! I appreciate everything!

Eddie’s Automotive is the best place to take your car. Period.
They are honest, salt of the earth people who don’t give you any lip service when you take your car in.
I went in to get my tires rotated and they told me not to worry about it because my good tires were in the front and going to undergo more wear if rotated. They advised I come back. I did, and the tire rotation cost me 15 bucks.
The work they do is built to last, and they have gained a lifelong advocate.

My dad has literally been going to Eddie’s for decades, since he was the only show in town. Although the family has been through probably a dozen cars since then, we’ve always come back to Eddie’s. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and more than willing to go over the nitty-​gritty details with us. What’s more, they’ve always been extremely up-​front about costs and how necessary repairs are. If an expensive repair can be held off, they’ll let you know. They’ll even give you a price over the phone if you’re at a different shop.
We were all sad to hear of Eddie’s passing earlier this year. He was a great guy, and will be missed.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Eddie’s passing due to cancer. Eddie (aka: George Mobley) will be missed by many. We thank him for his service to his country as a Marine and for being such a helpful and genuine person. God bless you Eddie. RIP.

After hearing from multiple mechanics that my brakes would need over $ 1,000 worth of repairs, I brought my car over to Eddies to have Eddie take a look at it himself. He laughed out loud when I told him the other estimates, and let me out with $ 180 worth of repairs that I haven’t complained about since. He is HONEST and fast, which is all you could ever ask for with a mechanic. Highly recommend, there’s a reason Sandy Springs Police brings all of their police cars to him!

I’m so happy a mechanic friend told me about Eddie. Such a good guy! Keeps you informed, offers honest evaluation & works hard to help you w/​your needs.
Recently, I moved so he’s no longer geograpically convenient BUT no matter, am still going to see him & his team!

As a single mom, I am so thankful that my Lexus GX470 broke down in front of Eddies. Not only did the guys come to my rescue, Eddie explained what was wrong, how much it would cost and that he could also service my Lexus on a routine basis. (he orders Lexus parts as needed) Since I have used Eddie I have saved a FORTUNE and his turn around time is impeccable. Eddie & Tim are so nice and make you feel like family. Today my Oil change, tire rotation, fluids topped off, new brake pads, etc. cost $ 210. At Nally that would have been closer to 1k. My oil change alone was $ 180.
THANK YOU EDDIE!

My grandmother is ninety and has been going to Eddie for as long as we can remember. When I moved up here this year, she suggested Eddie. The only thing she kept telling me was how honest he was. She wasn’t kidding. Very honest man with the best prices for quality work.

I love Eddie’s Automotive! Being female, I am always a little bit afraid of taking my car to auto shops for fear that I will get ripped off simply because I am a woman. Eddie’s Auto has never made me feel that way. They are accommodating, professional and reasonable. I have never felt they charged inappropriately for the work being done. Make sure when you drop your car off, you are prepared to leave it for a couple of days, but definitely take your car here!

I live in Sandy Springs and I saw the glowing reviews on this place so close to my home. So, I called Eddies Automotive repair shop to check for an avalibility on an oil change and two front tires on my vehicle. I made several attempts to call and finally got an answer only to be hung up on, apparently they didn’t need my business. If they treat their customers this way, how can you trust them with your vehicle.

This place is wonderful. I recommend anybody with car troubles to try this place out first before seeing anyone else.
I was having car problems and was quoted everywhere from $ 900 to $ 500. I took my car to Eddie’s and they replaced the gas line for $ 20 in 30 minutes. It is hard finding a good honest mechanic shop and this place fits the bill.

Meh. I’ve experienced better. (Officially, the definition of 2 stars.)
I tried this place because it’s close to my home and there are so many raving reviews out there. They seem to have a great reputation. I felt disappointed though.
Here are TWO positives.
— The work that was done to my car seemed professional and accurate. I got new pads and rotors for the front brakes and they are solid. He also replaced two belts under the hood. (I knew these were old and would require replacement as a preventative maintenance.)
— Eddie (the front counter guy) was polite and informative.
Now for TWO negatives.
— Scheduling was a big issue for me. I called a week in advance, letting them know what day I’d like to drop it off. When I got there, I could barely get into the parking lot, much less find a parking spot. With that many cars around, I had a bad feeling. Sure enough, it was a full day and a half before they could even look at my car. Maybe you have to get here first thing Monday morning?
— I needed them to find the cause of the fuel smell and they couldn’t find it. They had the car for 2.5 days and it was never solved. I dropped the car off for 3 hours at a different shop that I trusted and it was fixed for $ 40. Eddie’s failed me there.

Eddie is awesome! He charged me $ 15 for a gallon of coolant and $ 40 labor to fix an engine overheating problem that Dekalb Tire quoted $ 1,487 to replace a head gasket. Well … he said drive it around and see … we have driven it about 200 miles so far and it’s been OK. My wife and I are anxious as hell that this problem will return but having someone like Eddie’s automotive close by does give us piece of mind that if we do in fact need to eventually pay the $ 1,500, it will be to someone we trust.
Oh, and we paid $ 200 to Dekalb Tire to fix a check engine light problem that came back two days later (they said they changed the solenoid). Eddie just gave us a new gas tank cap for free and the problem seems to have gone away now! Thanks, Eddie!
My only «complaint» is that these guys are so popular their lot is full all the time — they frequently have to turn people away so if you want them to fix the car when you want it fixed, not sure if they can meet your schedule. But if you can leave your car there for a day or two (Sandy Springs train station is about a mile away by walk), they will look at it for you.
In all, if you have a car that is 5+ years old and you have no more manufacturer’s warranty on it and you know as little about cars as I do, it is very easy to get scammed and there seem to be just as many predatory mechanics as there used to be snake oil salesmen … and unless you have the time and energy to buy a service manual and invest at least a few hundred dollars in a set of used tools, you still need to find a place you can work on your car if you live in an apartment complex — face it, you are at the mercy of a mechanic. This is where guys like Eddie become a rare breed.
Thanks, Eddie. I am pretty sure my wife is going to bake you some cookies one of these days.

My family has been going to Eddie’s for years on our non-​warranteed cars. Eddie is actually the guy you deal with here. He runs the counter and the shop and is about as honest as they come. Eddie will tell you what is a necessity to have repaired and what can wait, unlike many repair shops that are out for a quick buck.
Not only that, his estimates on time it will take are usually spot-​on. There is no better shop in the city.
