Old School Automotive & Tire

We were traveling from Myrtle Beach to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our car would not start in the morning, so we had to call AAA for a jump. They got us going, but our cars check engine light came on and the car would not shift out of low gear so we ended up driving at a very low speed. We had friends in Columbia that referred us too old school Automotive. We called and explained our situation, and Scott told us to bring the vehicle by as they were busy, but would get to it as soon as they could. We were thinking we had a battery or an alternator problem, so they got us in to check it out. They ran tests on the battery and the alternator, even stressing it with a full load, and said there was nothing wrong with the alternator or the battery. They did say there were some codes that they cleared

Stopped by their shop on a Friday afternoon hoping to set an appointment (appointments can be set at their website, but I wanted to get a feel in person). They explained that usually Friday afternoons are very busy, but today they had the alignment bay open and an available tech to do the work on the spot. They took my keys and had the job done within thirty minutes. While I was waiting another customer was advised about the work they had done and was offered some great advice on items that will need attention in the future ("Your car's manufacturer recommends a coolant change at this mileage. There is nothing wrong with the coolant, so it doesn't need to be done now, but you should plan to have it done soon to stay ahead of the maintenance.") My truck has 220K miles on it. After the

Really happy with everything they've been able to do for my car! Super nice front office and service team all around! They definitely try to look out for you! Went out their way to patch up a couple small things around the car as well... It really shows what their priorities are focused on!

Man, my experience with these guys deserve better than 5 stars! In this day and age, finding a TRUSTWORTHY mechanic is tough. Scott helped me with diagnosing my daughter's issue and had her car back within a couple of days. I don't know if the repair was over or under priced, but the cost I paid was worth every penny! They were open and honest about the repairs and made dealing with this issue from out of town, an absolute breeze. They earned my return business!

They charged me &1800 and didn’t fix my car. In fact it started running worse. The ABS & AdvanceTrac light are on. The car skids every other time I hit the brakes. They refuse to resolve the issue and hung up on me and wouldn’t let me talk and continued to cut me off mid sentence. RUDE. I have a long road trip to go on next week and my car is completely UNSAFE to drive. The squeaking I took it in to fix IS NOT FIXED! Not sure what they worked on since it’s running WORSE. And I was OVERCHARGED for parts. Having to take it to another mechanic to confirm the work was actually done. My car has NEVER sounded or run WORSE than after they got done with it. Awful place!! AVOID at all cost! I have 5 new service lights on since they “fixed” my car that weren't on before. After your technician got i
