WORST AUTO REPAIR SHOP EVER. more

My only regret is that it took me this long to find Emil and his family run service center. For many years I dealt direct with Thoroughbred Motorcars for my service needs. Over the past four months (and thousands of dollars) I have been trying to resolve a reoccurring problem with my Jaguar XJ8. Upon my first visit - Emil took the time to understand my problem and test drive my automobile. He immediately identified the problem (something multiple service shops could not do) and had my car completely repaired within one day. ARE YOU KIDDING ME ! After months of frustration and expense Emil and his crew did what I was beginning to think was impossible. more

I went to Auto Import because of the good reviews for a problem with a control arm and CV joint. On the phone, they said it would be around $200-$300. When I arrived, they said it would be around $600. They then called and said I need more repairs adding to the total. When I got my car back, it was $1800. My insurance company would not cover all of the repairs because he said they were unnecessary even though Auto Import assured me that if I didn't do what he said my car would not run proper. I will never return because the pricing was not honest or consistent. more

Autotech is the kind of shop you want to drop by even when your car isn't broken. Emil, the owner, is a very smart man with a great personality. They are incredibly busy - you can barely squeeze your car onto the lot - but he always remembers every detail of my car and anything I said during my last visit. I have a high-mileage Saab and have thought about ditching it several times but Emil convinced me it was a solid vehicle and has rebuilt it into a near-new car that I really love to drive and will probably run to 300,000 miles, at a fraction of the cost of a new one. He takes the time to explain and show exactly what has gone wrong with my car and why, and I have always felt 100% confident about the diagnosis and cost estimate (it's never gone over, usually less). I am sure if the people who posted the bad review had taken that car back to Autotech Emil would have personally fixed and guaranteed whatever was wrong. Because that really doesn't sound like something that would happen under his supervision, and I'm sure he would never let any car go out of his shop like that. more

Based on City Search reviews, I chose Emil and Autotech to assess and repair a 2001 Nissan Xterra that had been sitting for over 2 years. Autotech checked the vehicle from bumper-to-bumper and informed me of the inspection results and their recommendations. I sent the vehicle ti to them by their suggested towing company (good experience) and trusted Emil to do what was needed and what was right. The Xterra was put in a safe and reliable condition with a list of services performed that is too long for this forum. In addition, the vehicle had been detailed as well as repaired. Certain deteriorated plastic body parts were replaced, rear bumper straightened, furnished body accessories installed (bumper guard, nerf bars, rear light covers and others), all to perfection. The Xterra is a ""new"" 10 year old vehicle, essentially suspended in time, and I could not be more pleased with the value provided by Emil and Co. With new wheels and tires provided by Discount Tire of Mt. Juliet, it may just be the best looking, best running 2001 Xterra in TN. My compliments to Autotech. They have earned my business with quality, competence, honesty and value. more

Worst most incompetent mechanic it has been my displeasure to meet. Claimed to have replaced valves but car ran worse when finally returned. Upon inspection by competent mechanic valves were not replaced and looked as if they had been adjusted by an idiot (2 were nearly completely tightened shut). Later the clutch cable melted because these guys wired it to the exhaust - seriously. I met another customer who came away with a cracked head. Run away. more

My friend and I went there to check my 2000 passat. I was exited with all the good review they got. Don't trust those reviews. It has the worst customer service ever, the receptionist, the mechano ... don't know if he is the boss or not, is just disrespectful. I do believe because the thought we were cheap, the receiptionist didn't even care when we walked in. And he ( the mechano) taxed us $100 for an inspection of 15 min. What the heck!! we went to another garage in downtown, we paid $30 for 2 and half hour of inspection with a list of all wrong. \r Don't spend your money there, they don't deserve it!! \r Be carefull with those 5 stars review!! \r I wish I couldn't give 0 stars, but the system doesn't allow me to do it. more

Got my Volvo XC 90 repaired for less than 1/2 of what the dealership and another ""import specialty"" shop wanted. The other two shops were charging to replace two controls arm when only one needed replaced. I also got an oil change and tire rotation on top of the repair and it was still cheaper then the other guys quote. I was hit on the interstate in the front wheel by a guy doing 70....was going to trade my car in but now AutoTech made me happy with my car again so I'm going to keep it. They got the work done in one day like they said they would and even gave me back my car cleaner then how they found it. I have never recommended a car repair place and never thought I would but I'm saying I will not go anywhere else in Nashville and I hope they are around for a very long time. more

Emil, Donno and the rest of the Autotech family REALLY know how to satisfy their customers! more

I was very saddened when I found out that my 2000 Firebird needed a new engine. It was trashed! HOWEVER, Emil found me an engine with only 17K miles. I just got the car back today and let me tell you, they did an awesome job! My receipt showed everything itemized and the prices were VERY fair. Emil explained to me exactly how to care for the engine in order to adhere to the warrantee requirements. Very kind and helpful staff. Thanks AutoTech!! Pros: Fair price, quality work, fast service. more

I had my car taken to another shop that charged me $100 just to tell me what the engine light had said. I then took it to Autotech and they gave a quick assessment and performed a LOT of work on my car in a reasonable amount of time. (Head gasket replacement, head shaving, water pump, tuneup) I couldn't ask for more and if anyone has trouble I'll know where to send them Pros: Fixed what I knew was wrong and things I didn't as well Cons: Parking more

After taking my BMW to the dealership on Armoury Dr. I decided to get a second opinion and I am sure glad I did!! Not only did BMW want double for repairs needed but they misdiagnosed...saying I needed new bushings. Emil told me my tires were dangerously worn and that was what was causing my car to shake...not the bushings. He did necessary repairs at a fair price and my car is like new again!!! Thanks Emil!!!! Pros: correct diagnosis...good work more

I will be posting a review of Auto Tech in approximately 2 weeks....It remains to be seen how this review will turn out. more

After having several problems with my used BMW; I decided to give Auto Tech a try. I read the reviews and wanted to see for myself. I got there at 8:00am and they were already busy working on a bunch of cars that I don?t even see often (Alfa Romeo, Maserati). The Gentleman, which I later found out, is the owner of the shop, greeted me and talked to me about my car. I told him all the problems I was having and he said that he will scan the car at 3pm and call me around 5pm with the diagnosis. I thought because they are so busy it will take a long time to service the car; but boy was I wrong. I could not believe it; he called on time; told me all the issues and promised to have EVERYTHING fixed within the next two days. Sure enough, I got called after two days and my car was ready for pick up. Emil, the owner of Auto Tech explained to me that the car was NOT maintained well in the past which caused all these problems. Auto Tech changed the water pump; the heat control valve; the oil level sensor, the steering wheel hose and test pressured it twice. They even checked the Whole car to see if anything is broke. Emil then handed me the keys, rode along with me to test out the car. I could TRULY feel the difference in my car?s performance and all the problems were fixed. I even got the car back with the rims washed, the car vacuumed and the dashboard and steering wheel shining! Do yourself a favor; make your life EASIER and make your wallet HAPPIER and take your car to Auto Tech. I don?t even normally write reviews but I really thought I should after having this wonderful experience! You can tell that everybody from the secretary, the owner and the mechanics enjoyed working there. Pros: Honest and Qualified Mechanics, Competitive Pricing, Keeps Customer Informed more

Took a $1200 dealer quoted standard exhaust repair and fixed the issue for less than $200 with a common-sense solution which the dealer was not willing to consider. This is my only experience with Emil and his team, but definitely not my last! Pros: Willingness to offer customer the lowest cost solution more

I have owned several cars over the years, both simple and complicated ones. AutoTech is still the only place that is allowed to touch them. Honest, knowledgeable, friendly, reasonably priced. I can call and have parts ordered beforehand to minimize my wait....Emil is happy to do it. I am almost sad that my car won't need anything for another 15k miles because it's actually fun to go here! Pros: Who else knows VW's like these guys??? Cons: not a one more

I would recommend Autotech to anyone who is tired of getting the run-around with common mechanics. I took my Land Rover to Emil to get the headgaskets worked on as well as a full 100k mile tuneup, thinking that it would take atleast a week and cost a fortune. To my amazement, Emil peformed the work in two days and it cost me only a fraction of what it would have at any other mechanic. When I got home, I raised the hood and was so impressed with the detail and cleanliness that they had shown on my motor. I took my car one other time to Emil to get the window fixed thinking that it would need a whole new motor in the window. Once he looked at it, he repaired the issue with just a simple weld job, and it cost me very little. I have been very impressed with their honesty and the feeling that you are their most important customer while your car is there. I would definitely recommend Autotech! Pros: Timeliness and honesty Cons: Limited parking more

After I let some idiot try and fix my car I found all these positive reviews about Autotech. I took my 97 BMW there w/ a blown engine and had it back within a week. Emil called me with updates throughout the repair, and has been amazing to work with. Next I brought him my WRX for a simple break job and was given the same treatment. I will never let anyone else touch my cars. If you?re looking for an honest repair shop that knows what they?re doing, there aren?t any other options in Nashville. Pros: Immaculate shop and incredible staff more
