Diversified Automotive

We have taken 2 of our 3 Volvo XC90’s to James and his crew. We didn’t take the 1st one because we didn’t know about James! He is so kind and one of the most honest people I have ever met. If he feels like something doesn’t need to be repaired he is honest about it. If he doesn’t do the repairs that are needed, he will refer you out to trusted mechanics. We are very grateful for him and his techs! And he brings his beautiful golden retriever to work with him lol! Just a good guy all around.

Live long enough and you’ll deal with plenty of sleazy/incompetent mechanics. James is not one of them. Forget being the most honest mechanic in Georgia. He’s probably the most honest mechanic in the entire southeast. He does excellent work everytime and has never charged me more than he should. Anyone who’s not going to diversified auto… well I guess that’s just a loss they’ll have to regret later.

Excellent and quick service! Would definitely recommend if you want someone genuine taking care of your car! UPDATE: a year later and I was having different issues with my car. I (mistakenly) took it to Mavis Tire down the street and they quoted me $1200 and claimed a bunch of stuff was wrong. Something didn’t feel right so I called Diversified Automotive and they got me in the next morning, and fixed all the problems that day for $500. Car is running perfectly again. As a young woman who knows nothing about cars & lives far from my Dad who would normally check these things for me- take your car to Diversified Automotive. They are so honest and helpful.

Auto shop nightmare. Took my truck to this Shop back in August last year and it's still not fixed. A simple radiator flush turned into having a hole in my engine. They tried to blame me for the hole, can you believe that. They had my truck for three long months then to say after I called them that a hole is in my engine. Someone with a wrench got to close to my air conditioner pulley and the wrench went through my engine. They didn't want to fix it, unbelievable. When they did it took another three months, now they have had my truck for six months and guess what. They patched it up and never replaced the pulley that they broke off and said I would not have air conditioning. Six months now I ask James the owner to make it right and he simply said he will NOT. For those of you that have had

John and Drayton are the best! Knowledgeable, respectful, reasonable, and I’ve never been pushed to have more done than what needs to be! The only choice for Volvo owners in Athens!
