I got 2 check engine codes indicating a problem with 02 sensors or fuel pump. I changed the 02 sensor myself. But the issue only got worse. So I took it to Car Craft and they said it was the brake booster, which should have nothing to do with the symptoms (hesitation, rough idle, etc). But it actually was the problem and they were 100% correct. They could have pushed an expensive fuel pump replacement on me, but they didn't. I'm not saying you should totally trust any repair shop, but Car Craft just might be one of the rare honest shops out there. I will definitely be going back and suggest them

I am very impressed with this shop. I had my daughter's car towed to them as she is a student at the University and I am not in Athens.
Diana who answered the phone numerous times was so helpful and gracious. She went out of her way to assure me of their efforts to get the car ready for my daughter as soon as possible. I trust them and their rates seem to be very much in line and reasonable.
They even called the towing company to pick up my car and simply added that charge to my invoice from them. Again, very impressive shop.

Really professional location! Brought in my Volkswagen because when I asked around town the best spot for Volkswagen maintenance, this place was mentioned several times. They did a good job of explaining issues and what they did. Also they have a great shuttle service! Never seen that before at a mechanic, so that was really neat and great customer service. Also, they had adorable Halloween decorations. Great spot :)

Potemkin village. They talk like professionals, but then put the wrong oil in my car and didn’t even do the tire rotation they charged me for. At first the customer service rep lied about the oil even though it was on the invoice as the wrong oil.
Put permanent marker numbers on your tires—how did I know? It’s not my first rodeo getting scammed like this. They think people won’t notice—and most don’t.
The only reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 is the owner apologized and gave me a refund when confronted. I give him the benefit of the doubt (at least two of) his underlings went

Car Craft is amazing! I was worried I'd be without a car for a few days and they get everything I needed done the same day as drop off! I also felt like they were honest with the pricing and truly cared about each customer. I will continue to use them as my mechanic in Athens!

Great place with professional staff and honest service. They maintain both my Audi and my F-150. They will maintain and repair my future vehicles.
I have done much of my own repair work over the years so I know my way around a vehicle. These guys are for real. If they tell you you need a repair then you need the repair. I trust them. You need to find a shop that you can partner with to maintain and repair your vehicle and this is the place.

I bought a vehicle from Car Craft last week. On the way home the ac was blowing hot air. Tried adding freon but no luck. The vehicle was sold as is with no warranty. I called Tyler at Car Craft the next day and he told me to bring it in at my convenience. The next day they fixed the problem ($350) in a couple of hours and didn't charge me a dime. I will be recommending them to everyone!!! They just earned a customer for life!

I recently purchased a vehicle from Tyler at Car Craft. I have been extremely happy with my Infiniti! The price was great and Tyler made the purchasing process super easy. I will definitely go back for my next vehicle.
Thanks again Tyler for staying really late after closing hours so I could leave with the car that same day!!

From the very time I spoke to "Steve" the owner I got bad vibes. During our conversations back and forth he kept referring to me as "college kid" even though I am almost 40 years old. When I brought my wife in he kept referring to her as my "daughter" in the shop and on the phone since she is and does look younger than me but I corrected him many times saying that was my wife.
Anyways back to more serious concerns...car was in the shop for 3 days and they wanted to keep it longer, at least 5 days to work on engine mount brackets. I had to argue with "Steve"

My daughter's 2003 Subaru died on her way home last week. Had it towed here because of word of mouth about this place. They got it in looked it over and gave me the news. Not good not so bad. Ordered the parts and had it back on the road in a few days. Joel was super friendly and treated my daughter very nice. They even offered to pick her up if needed once the car was done. If you got s child in Athens and are having car issues give him a call. You'll be treated like you should.

On our trip through Georgia our beloved 2003 VW Eurovan had engine troubles. Another Auto place recommended Car Craft for our VW. What a great recommendation. They were professional both in our communication and their work. Our car was left clean and runs better than it has in a while.
They carefully explained the repair and the price was less than I expected.
I heartily recommend Car Craft to anyone, particularly owners of older VWs.
What a wonderful experience.

I have never felt more taken advantage of in my entire life. Car Craft had my car for exactly 30 days before I received it back in working order. I was told that I would be getting it back at the end of the first week, or the beginning of the following week at the longest, a 3-4 day repair at the most. The original estimate was $1400. Upon completing the initial repair on my transmission, the owner, Steve, "a good Christian man" in his own words, called to inform me that the repair did not work, my car could not be driven at all now, I would still be charged for the repair, and that another

My husband and I got a checkup for our Nissan Cube at Car Craft on Hawthorne Ave. on the very high recommendation from a well-trusted friend. We wanted to make sure the car was road worthy before a cross-country trip, and Car Craft mechanics did a very thorough inspection of the entire car before letting us know the good news: all we needed was an oil change!
The customer service is excellent, plus both people we worked with were very polite and good to talk to. As far as the work goes: they're really knowledgeable--and affordable! This is where we'll go from here on out.
