Essy Auto Service

I had a great experience with Essy. I took my car in to have my headlight bulb replaced and I also needed him to diagnose a thumping sound that my car had been making. He replaced the headlight and he diagnosed and fixed the other problem (a loose shock) for under $ 30.
He also took me into the garage and showed me exactly what had been wrong.
The shop looks fairly run down but, with such low prices and exceptional service, I’ll definitely be back when I need something done on my car!

I’ve been coming to Essy for about 5 years now. He kept my 1990 beat to heck ford bronco on the road in that time; always more than fair with pricing & able to fit me in when I needed to get back on the road in a hurry. Today I brought my new to me 1999 BMW 323 in which failed emissions & though he was very busy, set aside time to make the proper repairs & get the car up to code. He’s by far the most honest mechanic I have ever worked with, and he genuinely cares about his customers. Can’t recommend Essy enough, truly.

I went to Essy several times for oil changes, for which I am still not sure of the caliber of work done. My main concern is the honesty or lack of it. Two years ago, I took my car there when I needed the bumper replaced after someone rear ended me. He completed the repairs, but the bumper never looked right and I actually asked him to reset it. He said he did, but it still did not sit evenly against the rest of the car.
About a month ago, someone backed into me and the bumper needed to be replaced again. The repair shop I took it to found out that the absorber for the bumper was simply taped on and damage in the rear body under the bumper was not repaired. This has led to a leak in a my car that I am now having to take care of. He was not honest with me about the work he did and after two years, I am now needing to clean up after he or his staff did not complete the repairs with integrity and to the best of their ability. I know they offer services cheaper than most places in Nashville, but it unfortunately seems that you get what you pay for.

These guys are awesome! Went in to get my spark plugs changed and they did a fantastic job. They noticed that oil was leaking onto my plugs and explained that I needed to replace the valve cover gasket. They took the time to show me everything and explained it in great detail. Really appreciated that they didn’t try to lie to me and sell me what I didn’t need. These guys are very honest and aren’t expensive. I’ll be coming here again.

I moved to Nashville about a year ago and dreaded having to find a mechanic in a new city. I brought my car here after reading a lot of Unilocal reviews and they are definitely what everyone says they are. They’ve handled the repairs on 3 of my vehicles, each time with excellence. They will tell me when I need something and also when I don’t, which I truly value. Essy is a great guy and I will be coming here till I move again.

Wow! What an amazing experience. Every single person I came in contact with at Essy was friendly, honest, and calm. Without any family in town, I always get anxious when I have car problems. These guys took care of everything. Very honest pricing and hard workers! I was very very impressed. I waited there while they fixed my car… Even met some new friends in the lobby. Glowing Report! Praise the Lord for good, hard working, and helpful people!

Essy and his crew have taken great care of my car for years now. The best price and the best service. I will never go anywhere else.

I went to Essy based on the great reviews I found on Unilocal,and they did not fall short of my expectations. The guy at the front desk was very friendly, they worked me in quickly and were very straightforward about what was wrong with my vehicle and what it would require to fix it. It was an older car and I ended up opting to sell the car. I appreciate that they did not charge me a diagnostic fee and their policy of waiving the diagnostic fee when you service your vehicle there. Will definitely be back!

GREAT! My sister was in town, and her car was overheating. She had to leave the next morning. Essy had the car done by the afternoon, and was extremely affordable (just over $ 200 to put in a radiator fan on her car). Will definitely be recommending to people I know.

What Alyssa F said. Friendly and honest guy who doesn’t nickel and dime his customers. I’d take my car back to him, and I’d recommend his services to anyone in the area.

After going to three different auto shops in Nashville which attempted to charge $ 45 simply for an examination regarding a «maintenance required» light coming on, my friend and I found Essy’s. The manager was very friendly and helpful and looked at the car for free, and quickly determined that all that was needed was an oil change, which costs around $ 30. This was completed within 20 minutes, and we were on our way.
They accept American Express and are honest mechanics here. Worth driving 15 minutes outside of the center of Nashville! Additional bonus: the Mexican grocery store next door has delicious snacks.

I called them up to ask if they could work on my A/​C and they said they could. It was inexpensive, VERY fast, and my A/​C is now freezing me out of the car… like it should! Thanks a lot, Essy and A.J.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this: to me, a single, mechanically-​disinclined woman, Essy is one of the major perks of living in Nashville. I’d never realized how important having a good, trustworthy, and fair mechanic really is, but I do now.
Not only does he know his stuff, but he’s actually a really good guy. He doesn’t take advantage of people or overcharge them just because he can get away with it. Think about that for a moment: he CAN lie to people about what’s wrong with their car, he CAN overcharge them because everybody else does, but he chooses not to! How refreshing is THAT?! He has a really high standard of morality.
He came recommended to me by several people, all unrelated, from totally different circles. Now that he’s been my mechanic for a couple of years, I recommend him every chance I get. And everybody I’ve recommended him to has thanked me for one of the greatest gifts a car owner can have: an honest, reliable mechanic! He is, forever, on my list of things I am grateful for at Thanksgiving. Truly.
Doesn’t matter what you drive, doesn’t even matter if you live an hour away, if you’re lucky enough to have learned about the existence of Essy, you’ve found your new mechanic! Congratulations!

My wife and I are leery of mechanics in general (sorry), so we finally decided on a place to take her car after searching for awhile. Essy was immensely kind and very genuine. Gave us the bad news and possible cost first. Turned out for us it was something much smaller. Our car was fixed in a day, and has been running great. The lobby isn’t 5 star or anything but each person we interacted with there was very polite and courteous. I was honestly taken back. Great guy, great place, definitely will go back if we need something else fixed. Thanks Essy.

Essy is the best and most trustworthy mechanic I’ve found in Nashville. His prices are reasonable and he always communicates what’s going on with your vehicle. I’ve been taking my Scion TC to him for a couple of years with great results.

Essy is hands down the best and most fairly priced auto repair shop I’ve ever used. He is knowledgeable, honest, fair, prompt, thorough and takes the time to explain exactly what’s going on with your car. I’ve used him multiple times over the years, from body work to engine work and several things in between. It’s always been a great experience. It’s almost like he’s trying to think of a way to save you money on the job. I highly recommend Essy!

I had two separate problems with my car this week and Essy’s has been so incredibly great! I knew what the problem was the first time and they fixed my car in just a few hours and even gave me a few dollars off price. They even showed me on my car what work they did. I went back the next day because my check engine light returned and they did the diagnostic test for free. To make sure it wasn’t just a loose wire they turned the check light off and told me to come back if it came back on (trying to save me money if the problem was something so simple instead of replacing parts that were unneeded. Well, the light returned and I returned to the shop the next morning. They sent me to the car dealership to pick up the part I needed instead of having one of their technicians go for the part but they always have cars in the parking lot and in the garage bays. I returned with the part and they changed the part for me at no cost. They didn’t get any money from helping me for my last trip since I paid the dealership for the part, not Essy’s. The labor prices are cheap and fare and the guys at the counter are knowledgeable and helpful. I hope that I don’t have to go back any time soon but if my check engine light comes on in the future, I’ll be going to Essy’s! They also have wifi for you to use while you wait for your vehicle.

We had a «Check Engine» light on our 2007 Mercedes, and we came here to have it looked at. Most other places wouldn’t touch it or would charge almost a hundred dollars just to look at the car. Essy reset it for free (to verify it wasn’t a computer problem).
When we had to return because the light had come back, they were able to repair the sensor that had malfunctioned quickly and for a reasonable price.
The guy at the desk was friendly and offered good advice without digging for more work/​money. We will definitely be returning here for future service.

As a female it is difficult to find a trust worthy mechanic, and being fairly new in town didn’t help either. With the help of a couple friends I have found a wonderful trusting mechanic for my Mercedes. When it rains it pours and I had a couple mechanical issues come up back to back. I headed out to Nolensville Pike and found Essy’s place. Let me warn you by saying that parking is almost impossible. His shop is attached to a gas station/​phone store the the left and the cars he is working on are parked in front. If you pull in the lot to the right there is usually a couple open spots. Essy checked out my car and immediately diagnosed the problem, hundreds of dollars cheaper then the local chain repair place. He had my car fixed and I was out the door in just a few days. I have been back a couple times since and been more than happy with my service. Would definitely recommend Essy and his service.

Came here to get break and rotors done and I have to say wow wat a great place! A man at the front desk is also great with cars. He explained so much and told me wat problems I have with my car in great details. Price wow great super Low. They will work with u. I highly recommend this small shop. Ask for Pancho!
