Paul at Southern Auto Works is not only a great mechanic, but he's also completely honest and totally dependable. There is no one I would trust my cars with more than him. He does it all and he does it incredibly well.

Awesome people work here! This is one of the cornerstone businesses in the area that have been around for many many years running a fair, honest, and reliable repair shop. They offer financing on large repairs with easy terms, although I didn't have to use it, it looked easy to get. They have repaired everyone of my vehicles over the years as well as put tires on them, including my RV. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I work out of my car. I put an average of 18,000 miles a year. I am up to 120,000 miles on a 2012 SUV. My company advises a local mechanic chain to bring our cars to for routinely service. Within the past year, I have had two major car issues. Which surprises me, since I bring my car to a shop every other month and these issues weren't noticed.
To make a long story short, after my first issue, a friend referred me to Paul. It has been a pleasure to do business with him. He takes the time on the phone and in person to explain things.

I took my car over to Paul at Southern Autoworks after it left me stranded two days in a row. He had previously worked on my cousin’s car, and she was very happy with his service, so I trusted her experience. I’m definitely glad I did! He was very accommodating, looked at the car that day, and figured out what it was right away. He got the parts, and he fixed it by the next day. Paul knew I was on a fairly tight budget, so he fixed what I brought it in there for, and then just made suggestions about things I may need to watch out for in the future. It was nice not having someone push a bunch

Paul and his staff have serviced both of our cars. They are fast, thorough, and cost effective. I highly recommend them if you are in the Greater New Orleans area.

This shop is amazing and has excellent customer service! The owner Paul is honest and has always taken the time to research any issues I have had with my Jeep in order to make the correct repairs. Paul's drive to do the research, knowledge, and experience has saved me from the costs of just guessing at what could be wrong and replacing unnecessary parts like the majority of shops out there. I have been searching for a loyal mechanic I can trust for years since I've been working in New Orleans, I have finally found one! My previous Yelp reviews will give people an idea of what shops are
