Best mechanics in Athens, easy. Chris is an accommodating, excellent, experienced mechanic, and he’s more than willing to do whatever is necessary to satisfy you and your needs. He’s a great guy - I don’t even live in Athens anymore, but I still visit and have these guys check out my car occasionally, because they’re absolutely trustworthy. They won’t scam you, they won’t fool you, they won’t lead you astray - they’ll give it to you straight, provide top-of-the-line service at a fair price, and be 100% cooperative and helpful every step of the way. If you need your car worked on, this is the place to go. Without question.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the team here. I was driving down from the northwest and my car started having problems miles away from this place. Not only did they squeeze me in, they were sympathetic to my situation and had my issue taken care of within hours!! They were honest with what issues my van had and worked their best to provide quality service and care. And! They didn’t rip me off with their pricing either. I am forever grateful and appreciative of all their help. Highly highly recommend them for all your auto needs!!!

I was initially quoted a base price of $120 to repair/replace something in the muffler/manifold/exhaust system. I made an appointment and was wonderfully impressed at how quickly the work was done. In 45 minutes I was out the door. It was the resonator that needed replacing and ended up costing me just $75 complete with parts, labor and tax. I am very pleased with Maxi Auto Service.

Changing my review again. Took my car here for a muffler rattle to be fixed instead of adding new rubber hangers they tap welded muffler to hanger. i even came back because I kept being told I was being screwed welds were awful. They told me to get a new resonator for drone, didn’t really help the issue at hand. Temporarily fixed the rattle for about a week or 2 now rattles again. Took to another shop for a 3rd opinion they laughed at the poor work. I wouldn’t recommend coming here.

Until yesterday, I would have rated Maxi 5 stars without question. Maxi has been where I go to for exhaust system and brake work since 2005 on my 99 Cherokee. Maxi has taken care of my brakes and exhaust system on my 08 Canyon since it was new. They have installed an MBRP catback (broke), two Thrush Flowmaster copies (broke), and finally a Flowmaster 44 with a Silverado expansion joint in 2013 which cured my exhaust issues with the truck.The Maxi mechanics have seen this truck be modified/tuned over the years and know that I take care of it.I brought the truck in yesterday at 8am with an exhaust leak - right at the rear outlet of the Flowmaster, where an exhaust hanger had been welded. Bad placement? Oh yes. Should have been placed on the pipe, not the muffler. Im told I need a new muffler and front counter guy recommends a Rush stainless steel muffler for $10 more than another Flowmaster. Better than the Flowmaster? Yes. Hmm... Ok (supposed to be in Knoxville at 10am for a client, it is what it is, need fixed). Supposed to be after lunch time, only if I wait. They get it in early which I appreciate and tell them so. $164.I drive to Knoxville, something isnt right.Today I do a little research and find that muffler isnt designed for my truck/motor - that Lawson Rush doesnt make a muffler for my truck and on top of that, retails for $69! Get it at Amazon for $57! My engine is tuned for a certain type of performance muffler/exhaust and the Rush Stainless Steel muffler #71225 is designed for a 62-73 Charger with a V8. Also has a 2 year warranty, not 1 year like counter guy said.Wrong muffler and overcharged me for the privilege. Enclosed pictures show correct hanger placement on wrong muffler...Im really disappointed, I consider this to be bad business practice and am hoping this wont be a huge issue to get corrected on Monday.Monday arrived and I was at Maxi at 8:30pm - Chris began with a bad attitude - advised him of the issue and the argument began. According to Chris: Mufflers are universal and putting a 2.25 inlet/outlet on 2.5 pipe is industry standard (No it isnt), He cannot get a Flowmaster 952547 anywhere (I called around, they are literally everywhere, even Walmart), that if I got one myself, there would be an extra charge.No refund for the wrong part Maxi Auto installed and I pay to have the correct muffler installed, as well as the muffler itself.I have stopped payment and have consulted legal help.I do NOT recommend Maxi Auto for anything, ever again.

This place is frickin awesome. Bf and I are driving from MI to FL and car broke down in Athens TN. Waited 3 hours for them to open and it was totally worth it. The guy was awesome and the service was quick. The price was shockingly reasonable. Our car was fixed and back on the road in an hour-n-half. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
