I had a great experience here. Days before the holiday weekend my car broke down and I struggled to find a suitable mechanic. I had already booked a flight out of town so I was in a pinch. Donovan made time for me and my car and communicated with me through the process of repairs. I got a good price for the work he did and he had my car rolling again by the time I was back in town. Courteous and professional, stop by for just about anything car related and Donovan will take care of you.

So happy I found Donovan when I first moved to Atlanta. He’s always professional, does great work, and his prices are extremely fair and honest. Plus he does a great job of explaining what was done and what else needs to be done. I definitely recommend him for anyone in the area!

A&D Auto is the best hands down!, if you’re looking for a fair and honest mechanic than Donovan is you guy and A&D is your shop. I have 2 vehicles a work truck and a personal, if you’re like me and the maintenance of your vehicles is a top priority then put your fears to rest. His professionalism is top tear and he always takes the time to explain what repairs he will be performing.

This business is completely unprofessional. Their shop is a mess and the employees are extremely rude. They dont care how much of your time they waste. Avoid at all cost.

Donovan was remarkable to work with. He helped me understand what was wrong with my transmission, guided me through my options and kept me updated throughout the process. He even caught things that needed addressing and fixed small exterior damage free of charge. I felt very confident in his recommendation and will definitely use him again. Thank you for all of your help, sir!

Mr. Donovan provided excellent description of what needed to be done. It was done very affordably and conscientiously. When I went to pick up my car, he demonstrated the repair to prove his work. I will be going back and highly recommend his services! He is a master technician!!! No run-around or B.S. Mechanics like him are hard to find! What a treasure!!

I had them check over a car I wanted to purchase. Only thing they found was that the dreaded cabin filter needed replacing. Turns out, there was no brake fluid, the a/c didnt work and the transmission was shot. I asked them to change the oil and was charged for it but now I wonder. Seriously, how do u not check the fluid levels in an overall inspection and give a thumbs up. They call it a pre-purchase inspection. Cost $99.00. They told me less than I already knew. This is the detailed report I got. Lmao. Dont trust this place.

I had a great experience at A&D. As a single female I was not looking forward to dealing with a new mechanic but Donovan was amazing. He clearly explained what was wrong and what he planned to do to fix it. He broke the price down (parts & labor). He was fair and I felt comfortable with him. Check him out! Hes a hidden jewel! Thanks Donovan!

Donovan is kind, thorough, and fair in his pricing. He worked on my Prius, got the work done quickly, and the work had held up with heavy driving. Would recommend to anyone

A & D Automotive Was My Authentic Christmas Miracle!Twas three days before Christmas and I was a mess.My six-year-old import wouldnt pass the emissions test.I was frantic and worried and so out of sorts - until A & D started working and getting the parts.Donovan gave great customer service -- put me at ease.He was steadfast and patient and fair with his fees!My car was fixed beautifully and it runs to this day.A & D Automotive helped my cares melt away.So, if you have an import that specialists say is too costly to fix,A & D will repair with tender loving care and have your car running great-- with no nicks.This first-time customer is now a customer for life sinceA & D removed my automotive strife.If I could give ten stars, I would and the best thing of all? A & D is a jewel, two blocks away in my hood!

Except for a new battery, my Honda Fit has never been in the shop, so I didn’t have much experience with mechanics.I just assumed I’d be overcharged and car-less for a while, so I mentally prepared for that. I found A& D Automotive randomly because I live nearby. My car had a transmission issue that Donovan found quickly. He called promptly and discussed my options with me, and even worked on my car the evening the part arrived, so I only went 1 day without my car. I felt he was very reasonable with the price (I expected everything to be a lot more).I liked Donovan’s personality and customer service. I trust him and plan on taking my car to him in the future.

The service was great. Being a female and not knowing exactly what to ask for he led me in the right direction and didn’t try to overcharge me.

We were on vacation visiting Atlanta from North Carolina and the red battery warning lit up. My husband had recently replaced the battery so we guessed it was the alternator. We were leaving town the next day and needed a repair fast. After calling more than 10 repair shops, Donovan at A&D agreed to take a look at our van. Donovan repaired the van by mid afternoon (knowing we were leaving town the next morning). Amazing ... great service, alternator replaced, good price. Donovan even called the next day to check on us (a first for us from any repair shop). Great job!

My car died on the way to the Atlanta airport and they did a great job helping me out! They recommended an affordable towing company and let me leave my car at their shop for 6 days. Rates were incredibly reasonable and I felt that they really cared about doing a good job! If Im ever in Atlanta with car trouble again, I will DEFINITELY be coming back!

Donovan does excellent work, is communicative, honest, gives reasonable estimates, and stands by his work. After (personally) rebuilding a transmission in an old VW, he realized one of the bearings wasnt quite right and did it over again, and this time it was perfect. Highly recommended to anyone in the neighborhood, A&D will always be my first stop with any automotive question.

I was passing through Atlanta on a road trip recently and ended up here due to some vehicle issues. Donovan was very, very friendly and helpful in diagnosing my car for me and helping me get back on the road. I cant thank him enough for his help and honesty - even when he knew I wouldnt be getting my car fixed there because I had to continue on my trip, he insisted on figuring out more of the issue to make sure I could safely continue driving. Many thanks!!

Ive been going to A&D Automotive for close to 10 years because Donovan is an outstanding person and mechanic. He is always honest and straightforward with his diagnosis of issues related to my vehicles and providing guidance in what should be addressed now and what can wait. Also, Donovan has been great at assisting my daughter who now lives in DC with translating what mechanics there are saying about her vehicle and instructing her in what questions to ask them about their diagnosis and the related recommendations.

I took my van here when I noticed a coolant leak while on a road trip. Donovan was so kind and helpful. He was honest, charged a fair price and got the job done couple of hours, helping me get back on the road as soon possible. Great service! They definitely have my recommendation.

Review №21

My family and I have been going to Donovan for most of my life, and as such he’s always cared for us like family. He always does incredible work, for an honest and amazing price, and extremely efficiently. Upon moving to DC for college, Donovan would consistently cross reference diagnoses from the mechanics there to ensure I was getting a fair price and fully understood what their analysis was. He has gone and continues to go above and beyond for us; I’m enternly grateful for his time and services.

I have always had a great experience working with Donovan. I was referred to him years ago by my brother and Ive never been disappointed. I can always count on him to be honest with me concerning my car and not charge me some outrageous price to fix it. If youre looking for a shop that wont disappoint, you can depend on to be honest about whats wrong, and wont over charge you for what needs to be done, Donovan at A&D Automotive is the place to go! :)

What a super guy! I had my break pads done (they were down to the bone, as it turns out) on an emergency. Donovan, the owner, walked me through everything and explained the entire process out in laymans terms so I could understand it--old school, like a local mechanic would back in the day. Im not used to such service. Recently, I took my car into a dealer for my 50k tune up and they looked at the break pads. They said the breaks were in outstanding shape!!! Ill be back. Recommended and another reason to buy local and support small businesses. He even picked me up when the car was ready! #MindBlown

I brought my car here after years of neglecting maintenance for my car. I told them just fix any and everything that needs to be fixed. I was expecting the worst bill wise but Donovan walked me through all the issues and actually gave me an extremely reasonable invoice. Their communication throughout the process was stellar. Received my car back and its driving as if I just took it off the lot. Ive found my mechanic in Atlanta

Review №25

Phenomenal customer service! From the moment I stepped into the garage it was complete care and service for my automotive needs. Consistent and clear communications, price consulting and what I actually needed done wasn’t what I initially “thought” I needed and came out cheaper than was predicted. An honest mechanic for life isn’t easy to come by!

I live in Sylvan Hills and was looking for a auto shop that I could rely on for oil changes and the regular scheduled maintenance on my Subaru Impreza. Ive been to A&D several times now and the work is always quick and very fairly priced. Donovan is a very nice guy and is always willing to explain the issues in detail before the work is done. This is my home base for auto work now.

One of the MOST knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanics I have ever met.After Chrysler quoted me $2200 for repairs, Donovan fixed those repairs and more for less than half that cost.I waited a few weeks after my repairs to review his work - my car is still running beautifully.I will continue to use A&D Auto as long as I continue to drive a car.

Review №29

This is what you call AH-MAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE & CUSTOMER CARE!My front drivers wheel was assassinated by a curb, bending the strut and causing unmentionable damage to my small Honda Fit Sports. I went to several places for an estimate, leaving with a laundry list of nonsense that didnt require attention. As many mechanics will assume i know absolutely nothing about cars, they are wrong! Just a small bit of research, I came across A & D Automotive and decided to try them.Needless to say, Donovans reception, attention, and overall survey of what I may need were the selling- tools needed for my business.This long story presented short, he replaced the damaged items, fixed what he thought could become an issue later and replaced my previously damaged mirror at an amazing cost! GRATEFUL is the best description I can muster up for this company... Donovan is a stand-up craftsman, whom really knows his work will pay off in revenue growth.REAL TALK: I suggest you go here first!Signed,Customer Satisfied AF

Ive been taking my cars (more than one) here for years. Donovan, the owner and mechanic, is always friendly and honest. You might find a better deal somewhere else, but you can always rely on Donovan to be honest and that the job will be done RIGHT. Every time I take my car elsewhere, usually for some deal, and something goes wrong, I call Donovan and he tells me what went wrong and why. The shop isnt in the greatest of part of town, but they do good work! If your car ever brakes down near here, this is where you can take it and feel safe.

I was referred to this auto repair shop from a co-worker of mine. And I can honestly say it has been one of the best experience Ive had dealing with a auto repair shop. Donovan is the owner of this shop & he took time out to contact me by phone & explain to me the work that would be performed on my vehicle he gave me accurate information concerning my vehicle & called to check out the performance of my vehicle when everything was completed. Ben was the mechanic that worked on my vehicle he was very poilte he took the time out to explain to me what I would need to do to maintain the up keep on my vehicle & showed me all the old parts that was removed & replace on my vehicle. I have found me a reliable and courteous auto repair shop & I will definitely do business with them in the future...Thanks again for everything Donavan & Ben..

Review №35

They dont even deserve 1 star! These folks screwed me and my company over-to the tune of $7900! We quite frankly had to cut our losses and move on because they just wont answer the phone.Not only was the mechanic 2 weeks behind on his completion date, but he also failed to keep his word to call me back, Ever! I had to constantly pursue them just to get the ball rolling. So finally they were almost done with my truck when I roll in to pick it up and they are 4 hours from being finished! On top of that the mechanic Reeked of alcohol as he finished on the truck. Needless to say the job was not completed properly, parts were not replaced as they needed to be as well as parts missing that I had originally! I would definitely NOT recommend this place for personal use repairs! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Donovan was great! I am a college student who did not know how I was going to pay for all of the repairs that my car needed. A&D car repair worked with me to fix my car. They actually take time to talk with you about whats exactly wrong with your car. They treated me with the utmost respect, and they FIXED my car! Thank you Donavan.
