Honda dealership listed $2,200 in repairs needed on my 2009 Honda Pilot. Took car to Far East Motor Works for them to review and repair as needed. They found that only my brake pads needed replacing and not my alternator, timing belt, and rear shocks. Saved me almost $2,000. They dont get more honest than that. Im a customer for life.
If you have a Honda or Acura and need a solid and honest mechanic in Atlanta, this is your place. Gordon and his crew are great.
Now I understand why all my friends love this place so much. They do quality work in a timely manner at a fair price. Their integrity and honesty is refreshing.
I am so pleased with the service I received at Far East Motor Works. I am now committed to being a regular customer. They were so upfront about the repairs my car needed. They were timely and very professional. I have trust in them and will be back!
Really great experience. From the customer service to how quickly they fixed my car. I wish I’d found this place sooner. Definitely would recommend!
Im really pleased with the service I continue to get at Far East Motor Works. My car is vintage and they have been so straightforward with me about the reasons for various long term maintenance services and realistic time frames for doing them. It really feels good to know that Im safe on the road and that Im being dealt with reasonably and fairly. Ive recommended them to all my friends with Hondas and Acuras, and will continue to do so. Many thanks!
Far East provides great service at a fair price.I live outside of ATL & still drove a distance to use their services.
Good service, but call ahead. Theyre so good you must make an appointment or your car might be sitting for a time.
Awesome!!! 3 other mechanics couldnt tell me what was wrong, they told me the issue and car fixed in a 1 1/2 days
Had to have some expensive work done and they talked me through all the options and helped pick the right choice. The work they did has been great so far. I would reccomend Far East Motors
I appreciate the straight-forward honesty of Gordon and his staff. He let me know what repairs were needed along with an estimate of how urgent each one was. I had them do the work and appreciate the smooth running car! Very professional and honest.
Awesome people. Great service at a fair price and no shady sales tactics.
Great experience! and competitive pricing. Go see these guys.
A trustworthy mechanic shop: Far East Motor Works was fast with their work, honest and skilled. They exceeded my expectation. I was informed at a Honda dealer that my car had an oil leak, which they didn’t discover two weeks prior when they did the oil change on my car, but discovered it at the second visit when I was getting the battery replaced. I asked if the oil leak was related to the oil change (if not done right then a common cause for oil leak). Their answer was ‘NO’. I asked them to double check, they again said ‘not the oil change’. Instead, they recommended a diagnostic test and said it was the timing case and wanted to charge a large amount of money. I took the car home, and did notice where I parked my car before had a fresh oil stain, so I parked mu car at a different spot and observed it for two days, this time I noticed no new oil stain. Interesting... so oil leak started after the first visit with the honda dealer, but stopped after the second visit? I wanted a second professional opinion so I went to Far East Motor. In less than one hour, they informed me there was signs of previous oil leak (lots of it) in the pan. There was a little old stain near the timing case but not a lot, so the lots of oil leak in the pan is unlikely due to the timing case. They cleaned the stains, ran the car for another 30 min, observed no new leak or stain... doesn’t that say something? When they gave me the bill, it printed zero dollar as the balance. They did it for free, did not charge me, did not offer unnecessary repair, and explained everything they did and found. I was so thankful. Now that’s a trustworthy mechanic shop...
Very pleased after my 2nd experience, staff are on time, pleasant, answer all questions, affordable, know what to expect, no pressure to obtain un-needed services.
I called on Monday morning (MLK day) to inquire about bringing in a pre-owned vehicle Im considering purchasing for an inspection. The entire process was super easy and quick, especially considering I got an appointment on the same day. They helped make a difficult process less stressful and gave me the information I needed to make a decision. My mother has been coming here for years, and has always raved about the superior customer service. I cant recommend them enough!
The only place I will take for maintenance on my Honda and Acura. Gordon and crew are the best at what they do. Highly recommend.
As always, Gordon and crew came in on time and under budget. I drive Honda’s exclusively because I only want to deal with Far East.
Ive serviced many cars here over the years - from a 1998 Honda Civic to 2014 Honda Pilot - and would recommend them to anyone! These guys are trustworthy and reliable.
The people at Far East are trustworthy and their prices are reasonable. Moreover, they do not try to charge you for unnecessary repairs. A knowledgeable and trustworthy auto repair person(s) is really hard to find currently. I give Far East five stars.
Fantastic family owned business. Always a pleasant experience. Honest, fair pricing, and great work!
As honest as shop as you will find. Straightforward and no sales gimmicks.
Ive been a customer for about 20 years. Gordon and his team are simply the best service option for my Acuras and Hondas. They are honest, professional, straightforward, and the car is always fixed right the first time.No upsells, no surprise service recommendations, just good work.I wont go anywhere else.
We service all our cars here (all Hondas). Far East knows everything about Hondas of all ages, is nothing but honest in the advice they give, and can be trusted to do only the work that is needed. Dont go anywhere else!
Gordon and the team are Far East Motor Works are AWESOME! Ive been doing business with them for 20+ years. I drive almost 40 miles one way to have them service my vehicle. They do excellent work and are as honest as the day is long. Do your self a favor and check them out.
Good work at a fair price. I have been a customer for over 15 years .
They do fantastic work at a good price and are very honest with both their time estimates and the work needed. They dont do unnecessary work or quote you for a tune up every time you go. Ill go here until I dont have a Honda.
I have an older (1998) Honda Civic that I love, but is ageing into the proverbial one-horse shay - the people at FarEast are knowlegeable about the car, listen and hear my issues, are very accommodating with appt scheduling, follow up and recommendations for priorities. Very personable, friendly and very affordable in this market. I also like that they take appointments, so you have a reliable time frame to schedule around and are good about follow ups. They are my new go-to.
Great service at a great price
Far East Motorworks has wowed me since my first visit, about thirty years ago ... they continue to exceed expectations and I cant stress too much how worth they are to get to from wherever you live!
Great service as always! Ive been coming to Far East for some time and they always deliver great service at a good price. They are an honest shop.
Always great. Far East has always been the best shop I’ve ever been to. Super honest and reliable, I live 35 min away but still drive across town for every oil change because I will never go to any place else.
This is the best place for my Honda Odyssey. They are excellent and they don’t over charge. Highly recommend!!
Far East Motorworks repaired the sensor on my gas tank cover. The dealer had told me that the cables had snapped but that wasn’t the case - it was just a bad sensor. I appreciated that Far East Motorworks honestly fixed the issue. Everything is working perfectly now and the repair cost $300 less than the repair estimate provided by Curry Honda.
Got my Accord 60K tune up a few days ago. Instead of the thousands I thought it might cost at the dealership, it was
Far East was recommended to me by a mechanic who was retiring after many years of running his own shop. He said Far East is the best for Hondas in the greater Atlanta area, and his recommendation is absolutely true. You can count on quality workmanship, competency, and a reasonable price.
I was tired of taking my 2015 Acura MDX to dealerships primarily because of FLASH versus SUBSTANCE. It was always expensive and it seemed that even with an appointment, the car would not be worked on time. Dealers seem more interested in selling extra services than spinning wrenches.Far East was recommended by a friend, so having transmission problems I made an appointment. My MDX was test driven ON TIME and then further evaluated in the shop. Acura had made an improvement to the computer ‘knowledge’ on the car’s computer which would cure the transmission problem. i had to buy this program improvement for the MDX was past warranty, but it fixed the transmission problem. I also had a general service performed.Driving home I was so startled at how well the transmission worked I returned to Far East to compliment them!It should be mentioned that by conversing with the service manage at Far East: he was unable to get ANY work done, answered fifty questions I had about car computers, explained my bill thoroughly, and remained patient and courteous.I brought a handful of business card home to pass out to friends. So, yes, Far East is the place to ‘reward’ your Honda or Acura with excellent service!Richard Ballentine
I appreciate the knowledge Far East Motor Works has concerning Honda cars; any repairs I have needed have been taken care of timely and reasonably priced. I will continue to use Far East as it is rare to find a Mechanic you can truly trust.
Ive been a client for over 10+ years. Gordon and his staff are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They wont try to sell you services that you dont need. Fair pricing and I highly recommend.
Always a great experience. True experts.
I love taking my car to Far East. Even if its just for an oil change, they always treat me with respect and appreciation. This is a small business where you are likely to see the (very kind and honest) owner when you are there, but everyone from the technicians to the office manager are skilled, efficient, and pleasant. They do not try to sell you additional services or repairs if they arent needed. Highly recommend this well-run business and am grateful to have Far East in our community!
Great service - friendly, informative and honest!
Ive been taking my Honda to Far East for years and am always pleased with their service. They are honest with me about issues with my car and have never tried to overcharge. Id give them 100 stars out of 5 if I could. Highest recommendation!
Price quote is done before repair, so there is less surprises.
Great work, trustworthy people, fair prices. Im so glad I found Far East and will never take my car anywhere else.
I can always count on Far East for honesty and expert service. They are the folks youre looking for when you need help with your Honda.Update: Just took my new Honda in for an oil change. The great service I get at Far East was a big part of the reason the new car was a Honda, too - when you already have the best mechanic, you dont want to try to find a new one. For customer service, honesty and expertise, Far East is the best it gets!
Gordon and his team are fantastic! They take great care of my 06 Honda Element, which has well over 200,000 miles on it!
All Honda owners should be taking their car to Far East Motor Works. They are honest with fair pricing. I would choose them over the dealer, no problem. They are walkable to Chamblee Marta station if you need to drop your car off which is convenient.
Absolutely fabulous! My boyfriend suggested this place because hes gone to them for a few years. This place is great! I scheduled my service and I was in and out in about half an hour, and thats after they suggested I get my tires rotated and rotating them. Reasonably-priced, honest, quick, and great service! I will definitely be back!
Great job of checking out issues and providing costs or options.
I have taken my car/s to Far East Motor works for many years. Gordon Gray is the best Honda/ Accura mechanic in the Southeast, not to mention his kind, professional honesty.
Far East Motor Works consistently delivers the highest quality and professional service that I have ever experienced. I trust them, their work and their recommendations. I searched for years trying to find a service department for my Hondas that I could depend on to tell me the truth about what service I needed and then trust their work. Far East certainly fits that need.
Theyve serviced our Hondas for years now. they are the best in the business with beyond fair pricing and quick turnaround
I have been taking my Hondas and Acura to Far East Motor Works since about 1982 or so. I trust Gordon Gray, and I feel he always gives me an honest account of my car maintenance issues. He has told me I have some many more miles on my brakes and rotors, and bring it back then. Most car dealers would not do that. I only have an Acura now that Far East Services, but I am about to break 265,000 miles, on the original engine and transmission. Far East is a big part of this car lasting so long. Gordon Gray has told me I can drive it past 300,000 K and I believe him.Thanks
Far East is the reason I keep buying Honda’s!
Great service.... the best
I have been coming here for 15 years and never had a problem with both Acura that I have to have services
Every time that ive brought my car to Far East Motorworks, the management staff have been nothing but honest and precise. A friend of mine who owns Hondas, knew i needed work done to my car and suggested that i dont go to the Honda dealerships because they wont give you a fair price and ill be out of a lot of money. I took a chance with Far East Motorworks and ive never regretted the decision so far. The prices are fair, affordable, and they dont hassle you into buying unnecessary parts or service for vehicle. Anytime that ive called Far East, ive never had an issue, never received negative feedback nor attitude from any of their employees. If more places just cut out the BS and got right to business, they would be as great as this place. The owner, i believe his name is Gordon, always greets me when i go to pick up my car and is very knowledgable. If you have a Honda and dont want to deal with dealership bs, please visit Far East Motorworks.
Weve used them off and on for years. Honest and fair. Highly recommended.
My regular Honda only shop closed up and I found this place. I prefer private shops because Honda dealerships are so terrible Id rather blow up my car than go to one. People are knowledgeable and very friendly. They explain stuff at your level. Highly recommend. My 1998 Accord loves them.
I really appreciate Gordons honesty a lot. His shop does excellent work and Gordon will never ever sell you on repairs your vehicle does not need.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. I changed my oil and they suggested to replace my headlight as well. Their service is quick and making appointment is very easy. I have been using their service to fix my other old car issue such as : overheated, etc. Excellent job and they know what they do with Cars (Honda)
This is my second Accord I’ve taken to Far East Motorworks over the years. I’ve had very bad service experiences with Dealer Service Departments in the past. Years ago, a friend recommended Gordon’s shop as completely trustworthy, which has proven accurate. Plus a very fair price on service.If you have a Honda brand auto, you owe it to ourself to bring your car to Far East Motorworks!
I am so glad I found Far East. They do a great job from making the appt, to service, explaining everything and competitive pricing. The best part is they never try to sell you repairs as the Honda Service does.
Straight shooting, honest repair work. You are not going to find any better shop anywhere and believe me, Ive looked high and low before I found Far East. Do yourself a favor .
04 Honda Accord...Great staff, very welcoming. Ill be back!
Gordon has been an amazing friend to my mother over the years and does honest and reputable work. They know their stuff and don’t try to sale you something that’s not needed.
Always great service. If I ask for evaluation about several things I get a prompt estimate a couple hours later so I can make an informed decision. Especially important on an older Honda!
I have now brought three Hondas here (I keep my cars a REALLY long time) going back to 1993. They have helped me keep my cars on the road. I so appreciate the honesty, the help with what is worth fixing, and the advice on what is important to do regularly. Gordon, Rita, and Far East Motorworks is a real treasure. Worth the drive if you are not close.
Great work! Fast, cheap, and very respectable employees.
Great place that was recommended to me by a friend. Came in w/ a check engine light that a big dealer wanted to charge me $1100 dollars on. They corrected my problem (caty) for under $600. Great work and solid people, and I will use them from now on! Awesome!
I have been going here for the past 3 years and they have been great to my Honda and Acura. They can take all those recommendations you get from the dealer and tell you what is necessary for your vehicle and what is not. I must say, Gordon and his team works! THANKS!
You gotta love this place, my job is to nitpick and Gordon and his crew don’t give me anything to complain about. He does what you need done within the time he said he’d do it, and at a fair price. What more can you ask for?
Our Acuras were always serviced at the dealer until we moved to Atlanta. Then I had a very bad experience with the dealer here and I heard about Far East. Ive been taking our Acuras there ever since and they are the best! FAR cheaper than the dealer but the best quality service, and they even keep track of things that you would like to know about -- like your battery, brakes, etc. Fantastic mechanics and the support staff are friendly and really care about what they do.
Ive taken my car here twice and have been so impressed that Ive decided to make this my new mechanic! They are extremely honest, knowledgeable, and dont push for unnecessary repairs (which is rare these days). For anyone wanting to avoid going to a dealership for service, I highly recommend coming here. I had been searching for a mechanic in town (my old one was all the way in Lilburn) and am happy to say Ive found one that I feel comfortable with.
Trust is a big deal when it comes to selecting a mechanic, and I absolutely trust Far East Motorworks. Like a great friend or favorite family member who wont steer you wrong, the folks at this shop are honest, straightforward, and genuinely kind. If your vehicle needs something right away, theyll let you know. If there are less-urgent repairs to budget for down the road, theyll let you know that, too.Far East Motorworks has never used scare tactics to upsell me on unnecessary repairs or accessories. In an industry full of less-than-honest dealership service centers and oil-change chains that focus on quantity of profit over quality of service, integrity can be hard to find. Youll find it with the staff at Far East Motorworks.
There arent enough stats for the rating. The folks at Far East Motor Works are very good at working on Hondas. I took my 13 V6 Accord to them for a 105000 mile service and they did a fast great job. All the other shops couldnt tell me how much it would cost or how long the job would take. Gordon at Far East Motor Works knew exactly how much each procedure on my car would cost and how long it would take. No guessing at all. Not only did his shop and mechanics deliver on what they said, they went far beyond my expectations and I am grateful. If you have a Honda or Acura, do yourself a solid go see them for any work you may need done.
Rita, at the front desk, Gordon, the owner, and the whole staff are very nice, knowledgeable and genuinely concerned about making sure you understand any needed repairs; your options and costs. Always quality work!
I have been bringing my Acura here for 10 years, and am continually pleased with Far East Motorworks honesty, reliability and dependability. Its hard to find an honest repair shop; but this is it. If they can fix your car by replacing a $2 part - they will. You always know that theyll do the best they can for you at the most reasonable cost. I never have a fear of being ripped off.
Have not been here since 2007 because I sold my Honda Prelude.... But I recommend this shop to everyone I know that has a Honda. Their quality and knowledge, along with their honesty and price really makes this the best place in Atlanta to bring your Honda.I almost want to buy another Honda as my DD just so that I can have them maintain it.
We have been using the services of Far East Motor Works for 13 years and have been very pleased with the results. Gordon and his staff are honest, reliable and competent. You would be hard pressed to find a better shop for your Honda or Acura.
Never a worry or concern when I take my car here. When choosing my last car, I did so based on what types of cars they service at Far East.
A true original Chamblee gem! Consistently excellent service and price for the past 18 years I’ve been a customer. I highly recommend to anyone with a Honda or Acura!
Not only are the Far East folks dependable and efficient, I have called more than once to describe problems with my Acura MDX, and each time was listened to patiently and then given what limited diagnosis was possible due to my non-mechanic descriptions. When I bring my car(s) in, no unnecessary work is ever done, and I have never had a problem afterward with the repairs. We have an Odyssey and an Acura, and would never take our autos to anyone else.
We had a great experience, they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable!
I have been a customer of Far East Motorworks for 20+ years and 4+ Hondas... fantastic service, never any complaints. Honest technical advice. Recommend for anyone with an issue or just normal maintenance.
Ive taken both my 2006 Acura MDX and my wifes 2016 Honda Fit here for a bit over a year now. I used to take both of them to the dealerships just down the street from Far East, but after one of my last visits to one of those dealerships, I got tired of being ripped off. Far East does the same quality of work at a much more competitive price. But most importantly, they only do the work that should get done and they dont recommend work that simply does not need to be done. Far East is one of the most honest businesses Ive ever had the pleasure of working with. Id trust them with any vehicle.
Great folks! Honest and knowledgeable. Weve used them for our Honda-Accura vehicles for years!
Far East Motorworks is a great repair shop. They were recommended to us by a repair shop we had used previously and we are so glad. My husband and I have been relying on FEMW for over 5 years and Gordon has taken good care of our cars. They are very trustworthy and do great work at a reasonable price. I highly recommend FEMW.
Gordon and his crew are awesome. Very honest and thorough. As I could do it myself I am extremely picky about who works on my car.
Ive owned Hondas and Acuras for years and have been taking them to Far East Motorworks for most of those years for maintenace. Ive always been happy with the service, the price, the people, the work, and the advice. Id highly recommend them.
If you have a honda you really need to come here for all the work you need done. Key word is HONEST, and that is what they are here unlike so many places. They also know what they are doing unlike many places where they seem to break something else.
The place to go for Honda/Acura repair !!!I have been using Far East for years and could not be more pleased.From a 85 Honda Accord to my NSX Gordon and his tech do incredible work.Honest / fair prices, good work and trust a rare combination now days.Steve T
I dont trust anyone else with my 2009 Honda CRV with over 130k miles on it. Not over priced like the dealer.
Everything about this place is great; service, attention to detail and value. Jackson Acura tried to rake me over the coals. The fine folks at Far East reviewed my estimate for work on my Acura and saved me huge money. USE THIS PLACE!
Had check engine light come on and my 12 Acura TSX had no power. Got it to Far East. Didnt have an appointment but they got right on it. A call 2 hours later with the estimate. They looked it over and found a small other issue. They clearly explained it all. They got the repairs done that day. Super fast service. Honest and straight forward. Plus the price was extremely reasonable. Couldnt be happier. The TSX is never going anywhere else again. Best Honda/Acura shop in all of Atlanta.
I trust these guys, more than the dealers. Kept my 21 year old cr-v going without costing an arm and a leg and when it finally died on the operating table due to mistake made by the dealer years ago, I brought its replacement in for a checkup and feel secure.
If I could give them 10 stars, I would!Gordon and the team at Far East Motorworks are the best mechanics Ive ever given my money to. They are always friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgeable, easy to get in touch with and talk to, and they keep my 97 Civic running as well as anyone could expect a 20 year old car to run.One other great thing about Far East that sets them apart from everyone else: They arent in the business of nickle and dime-ing people, and will not add additional services or ignore any problem issues for you to find later. They dont hide your cars health from their customers in the hopes of the customers being tied to them. They know that the more they respect their customers, the more their customers will reward them with repeat business and trust. Something that is only getting harder to find, these days.Case in point:I just got back from 2 weeks abroad, and my car wouldnt start when I got home. It wasnt the obvious issues, so I had it towed to FE. They had it for two days looking it over, and it turned out to be a rare, but easily solved issue. For taking up their time and space for that long, and THEY CHARGED ME $0. Gordon wouldnt take my money. Im honestly floored.Far East Motorworks is the best mechanic I have ever dealt with, bar none, and I will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone with a Honda, no matter where they live!Thank you Far East, my car and I love you!
Excellent people work here. These folks wont over-recommend services you dont need, which isnt exactly common in this industry.
[Updated 7-28-17] - Once again, I cannot speak highly enough about folks at Far East Motorworks and the service received. They are the role model for the ultimate trustworthy auto service repair. Always in your corner and go the extra mile on your behalf like no other Ive ever dealt with. Incredibly reasonably priced as well.[Original post 2 years ago]You will be hard pressed to find another auto repair shop as thorough, fair and honest as these folks. A Godsend as far as auto repair goes. Im long overdue putting in a good word for Gordon & Rita and the team at Far East Motorworks. If you have a Honda that has just fallen out of warranty or have bought a used one, look no further.
