Decatur truck repair?

January 6, 2008 10:33 AM

Anyone have any recommendations on where to have a GM Diesel truck fixed in east Atlanta?

I've got a diesel truck that needs work near Decatur, and have generally always done my own work... does anyone have any shops they trust? The work we need done isn't diesel-specific (power steering pump, most likely), but someone who has experience is always preferred.

I don't remember the name off hand, but they have a large metal Braves tomahawk as their sign on East College just west of Avondale station near Agnes Scott. I'll see if I can track down the name, but you'll see it if you drive down East College. It's on the south side of the street.

My boss uses these guys for his truck (a Toyota). He swears by their work, prices, and speed.

Intown Auto Care... 641 East Lake Drive... Across the street from Universal Joint in Oakhurst. They offer a warranty on all work and were very pleasant to deal with for the 2 years I lived in East Lake... Seems like I remember the mechanics tooling around with old trucks also... Main guy's name was Brian.

The owner is meticulous and meticulously honest. Best mechanic I have ever dealt with. Great prices, but that's just the icing on the cake. They took care of cars that nobody else would touch (1981 volvo 2 door, woot!), always source the cheapest parts (if that's what you want), and are really detectives dressed up in jumpsuits.
