Please do not take yourcar to the hood! I had my car towed here. However when I actually got to the location its in a very undesirable rough neighborhood that I would not recommend anyone to walk to and only drive with your car locked. I was expecting a store front. Instead its a garage with disrepaired boats stored inside. A customer was passed out inside waiting in a no hvac dirty garage in 95 degree. No waiting area or Hvac here. My main complaint was the level of disrespect and repairs and  from the owner Mr heath 1. Does not accept any major debit or credit cards over the phone? Because I was told he cannot trust customers because of fraud. Very inconvenient which meant I had to uber just to make a payment. 2. Parts have to be paid for in advance. Very inconvenient when im used to paying for both parts and labor once service is rendered. Like at Bmw service dept and Braxtons! 3. Very condescending and has an obvious problem dealing with females. Mr Heath would make derogatory comments like? Let me speak to your husband? He understands! As if a women with both a Masters in Business and degree in Business cannot discuss a car? 4. Dont expect to receive a full quote or even a written invoice. Instead he will tell the amount over the phone for parts only? Then you have to do your own due diligence and ask both labor and tax? Then he will catch a serious attitude! And tell you to add it up yourself. 5. Long wait times 1 week for an alternator. Unbelievable! 4 days to order and install a battery. Any part 3 days. If your used to having parts ordered and installed same day this is not the place for you. 6. Car was not repaired 1st time around had me drive car off the lot without telling me it was not fully driveable. Had to return for additional repairs next day. As driving a car that is cutting out and stopping is not safe or fixed. 7. Aggressive  inappropriate behavior towards children. Made me and child feel uncomfortable with questions? Why are you not in school?you should be in school! Duh its called summer vacation! 8. Does not keep store hours or advertise his work hour. Fyi closes 2pm? 9. Lack of security I found my car left open all 4 doors were unsecured on his lot after closing. Mr Heath does not care my car could have been stolen! Not to mention my personal items were inside the vehicle. Lesson learned do not do any business in the hood!

Wow! Another excellent experience at Heath's. I had my check engine light on, and he got me hooked up with a new oxygen sensor in about an hour (most of that time was waiting for the part to arrive). He's great to chat with while you wait if he isn't busy on someone else's car. He also showed me a few other things about my truck, so I got an education, a repair, and a great conversation all at once. I will always bring my vehicles to Mr. Heath. Update to this review: During the wait time, he fixed an issue I have had for a decade and paid other mechanics hundreds of dollars to "fix" unsuccessfully. My truck has had a slow drain on the battery whenever it sits for more than a handful of days. I've killed countless batteries and had installed a kill switch on the connector since no one could figure out why or how to fix it. Mr. Heath looked around my truck for a few minutes, checked the circuit box, found I had breakers for a radio amplifier, fog lights, and a sunroof I didn't have. He pulled the radio amplifier breaker and said if that didn't fix it, try pulling the others. We got a good laugh. And now that the truck just sits in the driveway for days on end since we aren't going anywhere, I've had lots of opportunity to test it. And it's repaired!!! I had truly given up after shelling out money in two states to no avail. Mr. Heath is a genius. Best mechanic I've ever met.

Good people still exist, they're just on the endangered species list. After receiving a quote for $1,100 from an automotive repair shop less than a mile down the road from Heath's, I paid them the $70 diagnostic fee that would have been applied to repairs, and took my car to Mr. Heath. Within an hour Mr. Heath called me back, told me the quote was pure fiction (my words not his) and that I only needed a clamp & some coolant. The alternator, belts, and a slew of other stuff was fine. Mind you he's seen the previous quote and could have easily charged me $800 -- and I would have been happy to save the $400 bucks. But no; he said: "It shouldn't be more than $60...I'll have it ready by noon (2 hours)" This alone speaks volumes for Mr. Heath's honesty and integrity...And that's what you want from a mechanic right? Not even to mention that he is an excellent mechanic with decades of experience! So go ahead, do what I did, get an estimate somewhere else, pay the $70, and then take your car to Mr. Heath (if you have $70 to satisfy your morbid curiosity) Or just take it to Mr. Heath & save yourself a whole lot more than $70.

Well, I can officially say that I have found "MY" mechanic. Mr. Heath is the type of person you want working on your car, but if you don't want the truth, go somewhere else. He will give it to you straight no chaser, but respect is always present. The icing on the cake, outside of being knowledgeable and fair, is his quick turnaround! He's never kept my vehicle, even for my engine repair, overnight. I bring it in the morning and it's done before  EOD, which for him is 3pm. To have a mechanic who genuinely cares about giving great service, takes time to explain what the problem is, and give you great advice and tips for maintenance so you don't end up back at his shop, is priceless. He's a real gem in this community and you'd be remiss if you go anywhere else. Tell him the client that uses cheap gas (not anymore) sent you

  • Claire Presnall

Mr. Heath is great! I'd give him more stars if I could. He's friendly and knowledgeable. His shop is clean and quiet, and he has a cozy little sitting space. It's not a big jiffy car place, no loud TV's and over powering car repair smells. And if you have to leave your car for a while, you can cross the street to check out the Met or walk about 10-15 minutes to the West End Station and catch MARTA. He had my car issue diagnosed as soon as I drove in and had it repaired in about an hour. This is our second time bringing our car to him. The first time he diagnosed our issue as a simple thermostat replacement vs the water pump we were afraid it was going to be. I definitely trust him to do right by me and charge a fair price.

  • Ash Walsh

Mr. Heath is awesome. He was the only shop (after calling around for 3 weeks) that would put in a customer part. He wanted to make sure that I actually needed it before working on it so I headed over. He diagnosed my problem and quoted me something reasonable for replacing my A/C compressor. Everyone else I went to see either wouldn't put it in because it was a "customer part" or wanted to charge me for anotuer diagnostic. I'm just a broke millennial so Mr Heath was truly an ally for me today. I will be taking my car back here if I ever have a problem again. He's honest, reliable and kind. Best way to serve the community. Don't go to any major repair shops first, hit up this local spot and save your time and money.

  • Jessica Speed

I took my car here for an AC issue. When I first tried to make an appointment he recommended a few things for me to check that may save me from having to come in. I was incredibly impressed that he offered the suggestions. Unfortunately I checked the items and they were not the issue. He was able to get me in to check the issue and determined it was a vehicle model specific issue that I should take to the dealer. He provided me with an extensive amount of information about the issue, and what I needed to tell the dealer to avoid getting the runaround. He was friendly, professional and informative. I will bring my car back for other issues if they arise.

  • Amber Lauff

Mr. Heath is amazing! Super kind, very reasonably priced, takes the time to explain issues with you car, and has an incredibly quick turnaround. I took my car in for new brake pads and he was great; pointed out another issue i had and was able to have the part ordered by next day and wrapped up with the repair in an hour. Taking your car in for repairs can always be a little nerve wracking, but Mr Heath is a joy to work with and has made the experience extremely pleasant. I will definitely be taking my car to him for everything moving forward.

  • Danine Knowles Hodge

Mr. Heath is a master technician and knows what he's doing. My vehicle was having issues upon starting so I called Mr. Heath to schedule an appointment. He advised me of some things to check prior to coming in that would save me time and money. After trying those things I did need the servicing. When I arrived the next morning Mr. Heath examined the vehicle and found the issue right away. His pricing is fair and he didn't take long to repair the vehicle. I definitely will be back again! Thank you Mr. Heath.

  • Maurice Wilder

Give it 4/5. I took my car up there because my check engine light came on. I took it car dealer ship they told me problem is the o2 sensor it will cost alot...took it to napa diagnostics test was 45 he told me the main priority is getting my thermostat and evac which is like a gas cap...fix thermostat and gas cap for 200...check engine light came off.. only downfall is I didnt see on my receipt/bill where the 45 dollars was reflected on bill that's all... he did a good job though

  • Vinicia Glass

Mr. HEATH IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND PROFESSIONAL AT HIS PROFESSION I KNEW I WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE WHEN I FIRST MET HIM. HE WAS A REFERREL TO ME BY MY NEPHEW DAD AND I AM GLAD. MR. HEATH IS AN AMAZING AND GREAT PERSON I WILL NOT GO TO ANYONE ELSE UNLESS HE MOVES OUT OF GA. I truly recommend everyone in the area or not to far in ga to see him for all your car maintenance needs he is the MAN!!! Thanks MR. HEATH ❤️❤️❤️

  • Pam Howard

I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Heath. He has worked on our son’s car several times over the past couple of years. We live in Mississippi & not knowing if you can trust someone that far away can be very stressful. After the first time he did work for us, we knew we had the right man for the job. He’s knowledgeable, kind, professional and extremely reasonable. We would give him 10 stars if we could.

  • D D

Extremely rude & arrogant man - stay away Been going for over a year and always just felt he was rude but i tolerated it as i wanted to support local business but his attitude is the pits and after speaking to a few customers when I have been there each time I decided i cant take his attitude anymore and will go elsewhere. He doesnt deserve your business and god help you if you have an issue with his work.

  • DaMonica Brown

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Mr. Heath not only correctly diagnosed and fixed my car on my first visit (as I was told a completely different thing from another “trusted” auto service company), he also takes the time to try to educate and explain why certain issues arise and how to prevent other issues from happening. Will definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you!!

  • Deon Blount

Oh boy, you talking about an angel from heaven. Please put Mr. Heath's name in front. This man is nothing short of amazing the best Master Techniction in the city of Atlanta easily!!!! His prices are fair and so is his heart . If you don't use this guy you will be sorry. 5 no crank no start no problem. We Riding Again. LoL …

  • Queen Yawanano

Smart mouth for no reason attitude like a woman asks unnecessary questions talked about everything except what I came there for and couldn't fix my problem gave me a uncomfortable bad vibe a no or I can't do it would have been better for me I wouldn't recommend this shop to no1 plus he moves like his bootyhole sore barely can walk

  • Skye Grey

Mr. Heath is GREAT! I will always come here for my basic car maintenance. He did a simple fix & I haven’t had issues with my car since! He is knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional. If you’re in Atlanta and need a trustworthy mechanic, definitely look no further because you’re in good hands. Thank you for everything!

  • Sophia Kotowski

I can always trust him to figure out what's up with my vehicles when others want to give me the ring-around. A very experienced, skilled mechanic who gets the job done well for very reasonable rates. If you want a big, sparkly, commercial shop, go to one - go to Mr. Heath for a thorough, honest, job well done.

  • Lew Stouffer

I have been using them for years. They provide the best autocare in Atlanta. Any issues with my cars are always clearly explained, the prices are fair and the work is completed quickly. I have not had to bring any of the cars back for the same problem. This is the mechanic you can trust.

  • Megan Dovell

Randy Heath was great! I did not have an appointment and he went above and beyond. Explained to me what was going on with my vehicle, fixed it in a short time, and charged me a very good price. He is not just an auto mechanic, he is a Master Technician. Thank you again!

  • Joy Jackson

Mr. Heath is a true professional, walls are lined with certifications and a expert at his craft. He values time, I suggest you be there at the expected time and pay attention. ☺️. This the second car that he serviced and I am never disappointed.
