Very nice and polite. They helped me when I was in a difficult situation by going over and beyond. I appreciate their willingness to work with me and their helpful answers to my questions. Thanks especially to Andrew!
Tates is more polished and professional than ever now that the owner's son, Curtis, has taken over the shop. They always take your budget into account and start off with the best price, very honest car guys here! Great experience and you can tell they are proud of their work.
Five star towing experience! Called for help and had someone on the way in less than 5 minutes and to us in 15 minutes (we were in Oak Ridge)! Really appreciate how timely and effective they were! I had called around to a few places and Tate’s was the cheapest I found!
I'm a customer with Tate's for life. They have serviced my previous vehicles for the usual upkeep and improvement maintenance. Recently I had to purchase a transmission and i am thankful to say I bought it here. They are honest people that show good business practices and fit the market with their products and services quite well. They did not ask me to post this review.
This place is awesome!!!
I came in to get my hood replaced and they estimated it to be $500 plus a new hood
I went to another place and they were gonna charge me $3000 for it.
Before I went back into tates all of my spark plugs went out so they replaced my hood, new hold hook, and new sparks plugs all for $740.77.
Super awesome place did the job in a day would go back again!!!!
Should have called and told us what repairs would cost before making said repair. $320 was a little high for what they did but they did get it done.
Not impressed. The car runs fine though.
I would suggest Sexton Auto Repair in Oak Ridge!
That doesn't mean they're not good.
The best auto shop you will find! Have used them for years, they always do great work at reasonable prices, and have always been very honest. I have a very old car that they keep running like a dream and have never tried to do anything unnecessary to it (and are a fraction of the cost of the dealership!!). I trust Dave to always do right by me and my Pathfinder!
Brought in my 06 tribute it had bad coils and ecu. They fixed me up at a fair price and great customer service. I even sent my dad over for an oil change on his Q56 while he was in town. It was in and out quickly as promised. They were fair and honest, I would take a vehicle to them again without question.
I've used these guys a few times, the work has always been right. Presently they swapped out an engine on my caddy, it took 3 days. Mr. Tate explained every thing they were doing and even took me back in the shop to explain a couple of things I didn't understand. Being a female, this type of action with honesty and knowledgeable service made for an excellent experience!
I came in 10 minutes before they closed – and they still fixed my car. They stayed 30 minutes late to get it done.
They fixed it right – and even diagnosed a problem that my other mechanic hadn't figured out in two years.
Good, fair pricing. About 10% less than most others.
