I had a previous repair shop work on my truck and did not tighten down one of my rear shocks and it came unbolted. I took my truck here on a Saturday and they immediately took it back and fixed it within 30 minutes and did not even charge me! I will definitely take my truck back here again next tie.

Im new to this area and I need some work done to my 07 Dodge 3500 diesel short bed and Ive called this place for a handful of services now and they want me to leave my truck with them overnight or multiple days for something as simple as an alignment. Dont do it dont go to these guys save yourself some struggles. Simple jobs that should only take an hour they want me to leave it all day who can do that?

When you move to a new town, its important to find new, trusted doctors, dentists, vets...and auto mechanics. Time will tell, but I think I found my new mechanic in Maxi on Broad. After two repair visits, Ive been satisfied with the service, speed, and price--and very pleased with the staff and communication. I hope I never have to see them again (!), but if my vehicles DO eventually need service, Ill definitely go back.

Same result my light was off the day I picked it up and back on after a couple days, two weeks at the most. I dont believe I will be going to them again. Ill try a different location.

Dropped into a ditch while on a road trip and really thought I was in trouble after my car wouldn’t drive properly. Came in and they got me in and out in hours with a new tie rod and alignment!!

As a young woman I have obvious anxiety about going to a mechanic because of the stereotypes we all hear about- but Maxi Auto is a very honest place to take your vehicle! Jeff helped me get my car in and repaired and he was very professional and polite- I recommend this shop to anyone having the dreaded female in an autoshop anxiety!

Review №20

I use Maxi Auto for all my vehicles maintenance. The guys are always respectful and professional. Whether its an oil change, new muffler, broken interior parts, new motor, etc. they always do a fantastic job. I recently had an odd job to complete and I wasnt sure if Maxi could help. I took it to Brian on Broad St. and sure enough, he was able to help me with a weld and it was completed flawlessly. I know very little about cars and their maintenance, but when I go to Maxi I know I am not going to be sold parts and services that are unnecessary. I know I can trust them and their expertise. If youre unsure of a good shop to go to, definitely choose Brian and the team at Maxi on Broad.

Review №29

Cant seem to get exhaust work done correctly. Asked for my exhaust to be symmetrical on both sides. Nope. One side hangs lower than the other.Also had work here done ( ball joints) first time cost me around 60 bucks to have a lower ball joint pressed out. Called again to get a estimate done on the SAME CAR. Lady told me 100.00 for each side ! Prices seem to go up everytime i seek work done from them. Something unethical is going on at this location. Will never return to them again.

I was informed by the dealer’s service guy that my muffler/exhaust was held on only by my trailer hitch and they couldn’t repair it, only replace it for $700. He then suggested I take my car to Maxi Muffler where they could repair it for under $100.Maxi Muffler repaired it in under 30 minutes and, even better, under $50. They are fantastic!

Review №35

Brian was very friendly and helpful. He took time to look at my car and tell me what needed to be fixed and how much it would cost. Well over $400. But, thats what it cost to have a real mechanic work on your vehicle. I will be going back to my car fixed by these guys. Just have to save up a week or two to have done and done right. Thanks for the free quote. I will be back.

These guys bent over backwards for us. We were out of town and on our way home from our Florida vacation. We broke down 5 miles into our second day of travel on a Saturday. They were one of the few places open. They got us in pretty quick, they were very nice and very knowledgable. They got us diagnosed, showed me exactly what was going on and got our car fixed faster than they thought they would be able to. I appreciate everything they did to get us back on the road as quick as they did. Thanks to Maxi Auto Service Center, we were able to get home with only a few hour delay. Thank you very much guys!

From the very first and the second phone call a few minutes later Steven was very polite and cordial. I had a loud rattle in my car and couldnt figure out what it was. Within 45 minutes they had test drove it, found the problem and fixed it. Turns out it was a bent piece of metal on my undercarriage hitting my exhaust which was caused by yours truly and they took great care of me. I will definitely be back and make sure my wife comes here as well.

Review №44

SO SO KIND. At my emissions testing, I was told that there was a problem with my car (diagnostic plug unattached). I went to MAXI to have them check it out. George came out in the cold rain with me to look at my car. Back inside, Stephen explained clearly to me what the problem was. He said it was really only an aesthetic issue, and that it wouldnt be worth the money to fix. Both men were kind and patient, and I wasnt charged for an unnecessary fix! I am VERY satisfied by the service and care I received at MAXI.

Wow, Google asked how my experience was with Maxi muffler just after leaving there with lots of help and knowledge! I went into my local Maxi just needing some small parts and lots of advice for my own custom exhaust project. I was grateful for the great advice that Steven and Brian offered to help tackle my complicated situation. If I need any help in the future I would definitely let these guys work on my vehicle!....

Being a single female, car shops intimidate me. Not this one! I’ve taken my car here for everything from an oil change to axel problem. These guys do fantastic work. They are thorough and take my concerns seriously. They are always professional, kind and informative. The entire staff and management are gentlemen and honest. Very honest! They don’t do work you don’t need done and they take care of the stuff you do need done in a timely fashion. I highly recommend this shop!

Review №49

I took my car in to get a routine alignment, and get a call back soon after leaving saying that because of my car having whats called camber, they cant do the alignment until they install additional parts, totaling verbatim $800-1500. I picked my car back up and took it to Firestone right down the road, and they had absolutely no problem performing the alignment.Now they may not have been straight up lying to me about the outrageous price they quoted me, but 800 and 1500 is a huge price difference, and taking my car elsewhere to get it worked on no problem seems awfully fishy to me. I dont trust this place at all, and with all the other mechanics available in Chattanooga, you shouldnt either.

I had run over something yesterday and my front bumper was making a terribly annoying sound. I decided to give Maxi a shot after my roommate has given consistent praise of this place. I have picked her up from there several times. I walked right in, got assisted, told my car sounded relatively easy to fix, and they said wait 5 mins. I had planned on leaving my car there all day because I know how long car repairs can take. In and out within 10-15 min max. NO CHARGE! It was such an easy, quick repair they said dont worry about it. Thank you, Maxi team! Ill be back! (hopefully not soon!)

The manager of the shop was totally disrespectful customer service at this place is horrible.Probably car in for a check engine light they ended up tearing the motor down replacing the Cadillac converter and when I picked the car up the car still had a check engine light on the whole reason of bringing my car was to get it through omissions they have yet to fix it

These guys are awesome! My car had been making a terrible racket for a while; I knew it was related to my exhaust but was worried about how much it would be to fix. Thankfully a friend pointed me to Maxi! I took my car in at around 9am, they called about an hour later with an incredibly reasonable cost estimate, and my car was ready to pick up by 2pm! Couldnt ask for better service, and my car is nice and quiet when I drive it now.

Review №56

Review №57

Fast, friendly, professional service. They kept good communication with me about what was going on with my car. I had it towed there on a Friday close to closing time and they called be before lunch time on Monday to let me know what all was wrong with it and what options I had to choose from about the repairs. When it comes to mechanic shops I have a tendency to be a not so trusting, just because Im a woman and dont know a lot about cars and I know there are a lot of mechanics that take advantage of the situation. It has happened to me one before. :( So I was a little leary and skeptical, but I came to feel like he was an honest man, I saw he ran a tight shop with his employees, and he was straight up front with me. Didnt try to overcharge me or sell me parts or services I did not need. Thank you Brian (the manager).

This place has the best customer service and commitment to helping people Ive ever come across, when it comes to mechanics. Our car broke down on the way back to Alabama and we had it towed to Maxis right before they closed. They helped us with a great price, and even recommended a hotel for us to stay in till the Next morning and then DROVE us to the hotel just so we didnt have to walk. We are blessed theres people like this still out there.

Traveling through town and had a muffler issue. Walked in Saturday morning and had excellent service. Stephen actually let me look under the car to visualize the problem. In and out in about 2 hours with fast, friendly, and knowledgable service. I’m only upset that I’m not a local because I have had some really bad experiences with car shops. Thanks to the staff at Maxi for such a great experience.

While visiting Covenant College this weekend, we had some issues with the brakes on our car.

Traveling from Indiana to Florida, started having problems right before Chattanooga, my husband Google searched a car place. We literally limped into the parking lot as they were opening.

I hope to not need thier services again. But I would recommend these guys if you are in the area.

Review №87

Just had an incident with my sons car after being repaired there. Bought a set of 4 tires about 3 months ago. Last night, my sons tire came off on 3 of the 4 lug nut points (missing lug nuts) while driving it. Asked the roadside assistance (thank God for insurance) what could have happened. They said the last people (Maxi) did not tighten up the lug nuts properly. They are supposed to use the air gun to tighten them and THEN use the tire crowbar to verify it was FULLY tightened. Apparently, they did NOT do this and just wanted the car out of there as it was getting close to closing time when the job was finished. I have read other peoples reviews on here and determined that this establishment is living up to the reputation of not doing quality work or checking up on the things that needed to be done properly. Avoid this business at this location as I have seen other Maxis around town with better reviews.

Spent close to $1,000 after being given a phone quote of roughly half of that.. Stated that car had a bad PCM and had to be completely replaced /reprogrammed with new keys etc. when I picked my car up I noticed a terrible clanging noise, and realized the sway bar linkage had not even been tightened down, just finger tight. So after fixing that myself the day I brought it home the car seemed to run fine for just over a month and then did the same exact thing again. (No crank condition, theft light flashing) Called them to give the opportunity to make it right and was told I had to pay to have it towed back and pay for the same repair that was done a month earlier all over again. Very evasive with answering questions as to how they can guarantee repairs and yet Im dealing with this.. Beware!!

Review №92

Get a written quote. I received a phone quote which increased by roughly 50% when a stock problem caused them to order MUCH more expensive tires than had been approved, discussed and agreed. There was no courtesy call to announce the increase.The work is acceptable, but you need to be a very proactive consumer when doing business here.

Review №97

I regret taking my vehicle to this shop. When my transmission failed while driving from Wisconsin to Georgia, I brought my pickup to Maxi Auto on Broad Street. The manager, Brian Spears, offered to install a new transmission and coolant lines for $3K, instead I got a junk used transmission that was admittedly improperly installed and broke down the next day, stranding me 1100 miles from home. After repairing my transmission, it broke down a second time on Interstate 24, stranding my fiancé and I on the Interstate. Another transmission was installed, except this one had no reverse - really important when it comes to driving! Another transmission was installed except now I had no 4WD because no one connected the transfer case. After five trips for repairs I finally have a serviceable vehicle again. What is worse, the owner, Larry Cole, lied to me when he offered to reimburse me for car rentals and travel expenses. This is an incompetent and dishonest business! Do not take your vehicle here!
