My son and his girlfriend broke down Tuesday night in Macon on their way here and then on to NC for Christmas. We had a long distance tow through AAA (who were a nightmare but that's another story) to Tower on the recommendation of a friend. Drop off at 2:30 am and we put the keys in the night slot.
When I went by at 8:20 they already had the car inside and were starting to diagnose the problem. Alternator and battery were no good but they had the car ready that same day and the kids were able to continue on to NC for Christmas as planned. Great service, great communication and definitely

I brought my wife's 5 speed manual '98 Wrangler in to Tower Auto to get a 3" lift kit installed, radiator replaced, oil pressure gauge sensor replaced, and a new set of 33" tires installed and aligned.
The communication over the span of the project (roughly a week) was severely lacking. Each time I or my wife would call we got a new front desk attendant and would have to re-explain who we were and the situation of our vehicle. I always initiated the first contact in order to get an update on the vehicle as well.
Upon receiving her jeep back, everything looked great from first

Had my car towed here after another shop accidentally broke one of my spark plugs on my Mustang. These guys replaced all my plugs and coils without furthering the problem and it was done the next day! I felt valued and like my car was important to them and I’ll be coming back in the future for more difficult repairs if I ever need them! Loved feeling like I was being welcomed into the Tower family! Thanks guys!

We're new the area and were looking for a locally owned auto repair business not far from the house. I'm so glad we took our cars to Tower for their regular oil changes/tire rotations. The staff was friendly and the service, fast. We'll be back for more auto repair needs in the future.

I was referred to this shop by the nice people at Express Oil and they told me to ask for Adam. I called once and Adam was at lunch and was told to call back. I waited 2 hours to call back and when I called back I spoke to a female representative who was VERY rude and angry... she could not answer my question, would not get Adam on the phone and then hung up on me. I hope this shop does not continue to be recommended by ANYBODY if this is the customer service someone will receive. Do NOT recommend.

Tower Auto is the place to go for vehicle repair and maintenance. They also do a great job tackling any modification jobs. They have exceeded my expectations installing front splitters, under glow lights and performance modifications to my families vehicles.

I made an appointment for 8:00 am for a wheel alignment. The car is a Japanese-spec Nissan Figaro - fully restored and very valuable.
I arrived at 7:50, and although the "open" light was not on, the front door was open. I walked in and was greeted immediately. The car was taken back five minutes later.
The car has freshly powder coated wheels so the manager came in to talk to me several times to collaborate and suggest ways to attach the alignment clamps on the wheels without scratching them.
I build show cars and do almost all of my own work. But some things need to be hired out.

Giving this place one star because they'll rip you off. Took my Jeep in they wanted to charge me 1,400 dollars because the ball joints needed to be replaced. Like legit rip off. I said nah I'm good I'll come pick it up still charges me a 40 dollar fee for just for it being looked at LOL K... they'll nickel and dime ya anyway they can.. with that being said I took it somewhere else and got an estimate significantly cheaper... So I'd get an estimate anywhere else before coming here.

The service I received was outstanding. I am new to the area and have been looking for an auto mechanic that was trustworthy, could do oil changes and tires (so I could get all my service done at one location at one time) and did Nitrogen in tires. I was happy to find that they did all of this.
As I sat in the waiting room I got to meet two of their long time customers that had nothing but positive experiences to share about their service. These people are very easy to talk with as I heard several friendly conversations while waiting for my service. Give them an opportunity to serve you!

I was recently in the middle of a issue with my coils and spark plugs. I brought it there to see if they could figure it out. They said they had to replace the number 1 coil and then said it would be over $400 for the repair. They already had it apart and was charging me for the "diagnostic" fee. I have done coils myself in my vehicle and this coil was front right. Takes me 20mins which would take them 10mins but charge me what the book says of 4hrs. I asked him why and the owner said very sarcastically that I don't make them I just fix them. If you want to get ripped off from a

OVER PRICED AND SUB-PAR REPAIRS! I was a customer for six years and never really had a bad experience with my two cars until recently. They did a brake job and failed to check the wheel cylinders (brake job 101) that were leaking and ruined the brake shoes! Two weeks later they replaced the wheel cylinders and the shoes and told me they wouldn't charge me for the new shoes. WOW! HOW KIND OF THEM! It was THEIR FAULT to begin with! Then recently I had the ignition switch replaced! They charged me almost double ($317.00) incld. a diagnostic fee of $69.95 for what the going rate that their competition

I was in the middle of a nightmare moving experience thanks to Budget Truck Rentals and the owner of Tower Auto saved my bacon. Tower is an agent for Budget but this means they have no control over inventory, maintenance, etc. - just the actual renting. I had a car trailer with really bad tires and was not about to hit the road with these. I contacted roadside and they dispatched service. I kept getting the response, "soon", "2 hours", "45 more min", "I'm lost", etc. During all this, even though Tower was closed (at noon on Saturday), the owner, Brent
