NAPA Auto Fitness Automotive & Tire Repair in
Gainesville (GA)

Honest, kind, quick, good prices, and so helpful. The first few times they helped us, we couldn't drop off or pick up during business hours. They have after hour drop-off and pick-up, which saved us so much trouble. They are very good with communication and keeping you fully in the loop about everything. I can't say enough nice things about this shop and the crew. At one point I had no option but to sit and wait in the shop with all three of my kids while they help me sort out another shops mistakes, they have a kid area and coffee so everyone was happy! They worked very quickly and got us out of there and fixed up in no time. I've never worked with a shop that is as helpful and kind as this one.

2nd time in...2nd Time AWESOME SERVICE. Pete and the folks there will take care of you. No fuss. Clean & comfortable waiting area. They only do what you ask. No up-sell/charge here. Honest folks doing honest work!

The service is always exceptional! I trust their diagnosis of what my car needs and don’t feel like they’re trying to take advantage of me.

Mathew was very nice , explained entire service and inspection performed . He even replaced batteries to my key remote without any additional cost . Most definitely will continue to bring my vehicle to be serviced. Thank you so much

Since we have moved up to Gainesville we have used Auto Fitness - Gainesville Ga - Pete Bowbliss and the entire crew have been incredible to work with. They’re located at 2800 Browns Bridge Road. Customer service is lacking in most businesses these days but not here. I highly recommend them for any automotive needs you have. You won’t be disappointed you let them be of service to you!! Thanks guys!!

I can't recommend Pete and the team at Auto Fitness highly enough! I came in with frustrating engine codes that I was unable to solve through extensive troubleshooting and replaced parts, leaving me worried about my truck and unable to pass emissions, or maybe even leave me stranded. The team here truly demonstrated their expertise. They successfully diagnosed the issue, pinpointing a faulty fuel pump. They replaced it, and the truck is running great now—I was able to get back on the road immediately and pass emissions without any problems. Not only did they handle that major repair with professionalism, but they also helped me get some great tires at the same time. It’s rare to find a place that combines honest, knowledgeable diagnostic work with excellent overall service. Auto Fitness is definitely my new go-to shop!

My son’s Nissan Altima has been plaguing us for some time with a belt issue and catalytic converter/O2 sensor issues. Took to several shops and either wouldn’t work on it or the prices were beyond outrageous. A HUGE thank you to Pete and the staff at Auto Fitness for not only PROPERLY diagnosing the problem, being fully transparent during the repair, being QUICK with the turnaround, but being FAIR with pricing. The service was exceptional and it’s so nice to have a one-stop-shop that will treat you RIGHT from start to FINISH. A++ guys - THANK YOU for taking care of me and most importantly my kids! You have a customer for life!

Pete and his team are truly amazing and honest.. Dealer advised me my Vw needed front brakes but I was not willing to pay dealer prices. I found auto fitness and inquired about front brakes, and to my surprise the front pads were still more than half worn, Pete brought me to the back and showed me than the front nor the back needed to be changed and properly wouldn’t need to be change for another 20k miles or so .. If you are looking for an honest and professional shop, look no further than.

Pete and his team are top notch. Not only did they help me get my truck back on the road in a day, they only fixed what needed to be fixed. I never felt like I (someone who knows very little about cars) was being taken advantage of. This is the kind of place I will trust to send my kids to when they have their own car issues. I’m just extremely pleased and thankful with Auto Fitness and will never go to another shop again.

Pete and the team are excellent at what they do! They are honest and thorough, which is rare these days. Their prices are fair and the quality of work is amazing.

All I have to say is Amazing Service with that personal touch! I required tires. I made the call i was going to settle for a different tire. However Pete B. asked what brand i was looking for I told him Pirelli . Pete said I can get them and the price was spot on and less than I expected. He was so welcoming I drove 1 hour and 1 minute with my three children with me. Upon my arrival I was happily Greeted with a smile and the door held open for me and my family to come in. My son said Dad is Pete our cousin? Just Great energy overall. As we know the children know and see things! I had to stop and get lunch for my children and Pete as well as Rick made us feel right at home setting up in the lounge where they can eat. After they ate Pete took us on a tour of the shop . Indeed it was clean just magnificent! I met Chase he did the service he is the man on my vehicle. He paid close attention to detail .I also met Brian because my son was trying to mess with his tools. Brian was like it's okay his son does it too. It was great to see a family oriented shop. Great Work Team. Oh yeah the lounge had a wonderful effervescent of candles burning in which was Awsome. The drive was definitely well worth it all the way around. Great Experience from start to finish. My Children didn't want to leave. I was like Wow! Thanks Again Pete and Team!

Pete took care of everything for us. Ordered the tires. Everything was there for my appt time. Tires, Alignment, & Oil change. Everything went smoothly. Terrific waiting area with Wi-Fi. The sequoia is driving smoother than she ever has. Great work AutoFitness Team!!

Since im a AAA member, i thought id try and different angle w my car. Had some advance trac & steering lights go on & unable to use my adaptive cruise too so stopped by for diagnosis. Spoke w Pete & verified my concerns & explained might need to have my sensors recalibrate however he did not have the ADAS to complete. He kindly referred me to Bryan @ Mall of Georgia Auto so set up appt w Bryan, waiting for the diagnostic results & low & behold, left w a grand smile after they calibrated my speed sensors. I could not have had a better experience with either shop. So will continue with my favorite AAA service garages nearby. Thank you .team

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and since new management I have noticed a HUGE difference in service. Pete Bowbliss and his team make sure you are taken care of and get the best deals. From oil changes, new batteries, to fixing an oil leak. He will make sure you are getting the best service every time you visit. I recently had a slight oil leak and noticed it the day I had to leave for a quick trip. I was worried about being able to get an appointment so last minute. I called Pete and he was able to get me in immediately and fix the issue within the hour. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Completely satisfied with the transmission replacement Auto Fitness completed for me a couple of weeks back. Their Manager Pete was understanding and responded rapidly to my questions and inquiries. I will not be taking my truck to any other shop, because it seems that this one really goes above and beyond. Definitely setting the standard! Would 10/10 recommend!

On a road trip through Georgia, the water pump in our Ford Escape failed in central Gainesville just before noon. While setting up AAA towing I found NAPA Auto Fitness and called to see if they could help. They accepted it and had the repair done by close of business same day. THANK YOU FOR GETTING US BACK ON THE ROAD WITH MINIMUM DOWN TIME—Well done!! Great service, done quickly and on-target pricing!

I want to give a big shout-out to Pete and Chase! They are amazing people. NAPA Auto Fitness in Gainesville, GA is one of the very few places I trust to take my car. These guys truly care about you and your car’s well-being. I have dealt with many people and businesses who tried to take advantage of me and my elderly parents. They pressured us to pay for things we did not need. In fact, a local heating & air company very recently tried to take advantage of my elderly parents and get them to pay $10k worth or repairs and replacements that were absolutely unnecessary. Honesty, integrity, and transparency are hard to find nowadays. But the team at NAPA is different. They are honest and trustworthy. They will not try to scam you or take advantage of you. If your car does not need repairs and is running fine, they will tell you. That is rare these days. I have brought my car here multiple times for routine maintenance as well as some repairs, and every time, I had a positive experience. I always felt confident that my car was in good hands. I knew I was not being fed lies just so they could make extra money. Whether you need a simple oil change or major repairs, please trust me when I say take your car to NAPA. They will take great care of you and your vehicle. I really appreciate these guys very much.

These guys went above and beyond for me when they had no reason too. Had an a/c issue and was sent by carshield to a place that purposefully didn't fix my car. They said it was freon the 1st time, 2nd time they said it was the a/c valve also said they put the dye in to see if there was a leak somewhere. Was going to have to bring it to them a 3rd time and they said it was likely the ac compressor. Husband told me to choose another shop off the list and I chose this place! They CORRECTLY diagnosed the issue, saw on my file where it said I had a valve replacement but the mechanic said there's no way they replaced anything because the valve in question was just as used looking as the rest of my car. Long story short they turned a almost 700-800 dollar jobs into a almost $200 dollar one. This place is amazing. Women if you have any car issues they will take good care of you.

I could not be more positive about my experience here. On a vacation my car crapped out and I took it to this location. The company diagnosed it and found a major problem. Instead of trying to squeeze me for all, it's worth, which they could have. They recommended I go to the dealer because it's probably covered under warranty. So I ended up paying $0 because of the trust and integrity of the owner. This is the best possible experience I could have had, and I'm horrible with cars so they easily could have taken advantage of me. If you have an issue, you've got to go here to get it solved if you want honest trustworthy advice.

Today was my first experience with NAPA and this location, and let me tell you I loved it! Pete and Rick were very welcoming, informative, and they made sure I was okay while waiting on my vehicle! Also, the prices are very fair and the time of service is rather quick! Please make sure you check this location out, I will be returning!

My daughter took her car for oil change, she was nervous about going alone but the manager Pete Bowbliss made her feel at ease and comfortable. Whole staff was friend and welcoming to her. Overall phenomenal experience for her. Highly recommend!

Auto Fitness was recommended to me by a friend, and I took my truck by there a few years ago. Needed my brakes checked today, and Pete Bowbliss, the service manager, was very helpful. They checked out my brakes and recommend NOT changing out the pads or turning the rotors. They didn’t charge me anything to check and greased the slide pins. They checked it all out in a very timely fashion as well. I will highly recommend them to everyone just like my friend did for me.

Ladies, this review is for you!! I know many of us feel like we are judged, laughed at or taken advantage of when we go to places like this. Not here! The guys here are absolutely fantastic and didn’t make me feel like “just a dumb girl”! Needed a new tire and they were prompt, professional, kind and reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be back for all my car needs. 🙌

There are not many auto shops that I feel comfortable in as a young woman, but I can genuinely say that Pete and Rick kept me informed with all of my options at my visit. They were honest and upfront with pricing and never made me feel silly for asking questions that most may know the answers too. I 100% recommend them for your auto needs. Thanks guys!

The Auto Fitness team at NAPA Repair center helped us out once again. Dropped our truck off Sunday night after hours. We got our vehicle back this evening (Monday). Clear, descriptive, friendly, and honest diagnosis what we had going on with our truck was what we got before repairs began. A quick turn around on getting our vehicle back to us ensued. We have trusted our repairs to the team at Auto Fitness for over six years. We have never been disappointed with their quality of work, pricing, and most of all their level of integrity. We have no intention of using anyone other than the folks at Auto Fitness NAPA, When we find ourselves in need of service for our several vehicles. Much Appreciated !

My ‘97 F250 has been a great truck. Since retiring I don’t drive the truck as often so occasionally I get a little behind on necessary maintenance. Recently the truck was past due for an oil change and I was over in Gainesville so I stopped in to see if NAPA Auto Care/Samantha could get my oil changed without much wait..They were able to fit me in and also rotate the tires.I was on my way back home within 30 minutes. Thanks guys for your super service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

This company goes out of their way to take care of unexpected problems as well as routine service. I’ve had several surgeries and Garrett had my car picked up and returned when she needed work. She’s 25 now and is good as the day I picked her up with 1.3 miles on her. I wouldn’t take her anywhere else, or my son’s 2003 530i.
