I go regularly for basic maintenance - oil change, brake checks, tire check, etc.Blackwell Automotive is full of nice, kind, and very competent people. You always get good answers for questions, and you know you are valued. And, the waiting areas are comfortable and delightful! Also, the prices are so very reasonable!!

I was very pleased with the service I received at Blackwell Automotive. Theyre very professional and their price is very hard to beat. I got a lot of Maintenance work done to my vehicle. And I was expecting to pay a lot more than it cost so I was pleasantly surprised when they told me the cost of my maintenance before they started the work. I will continue to use them to service my Toyota thank you for all your good work.

Blackwell is thorough through and though! Michael and the gang kept me in the loop as far as all aspects of my repair were addressed. If you have a Toyota or Lexus, THIS is your shop!

Omg I have never been to an automotive shop that accommodates females as much as blackwells does... If I could give 20 stars I would. They have amazing employees who offer awesome customer service.. its very clean and well maintained.. Ill post pictures but they have any and everything that a woman might need. Its crazy at how well accommodating to women they are. You dont have to take my word for it pictures show everything.. I really mean ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!!!

AMAZING! We were having a brake issue at 4:30pm. They got us right in to check it out! Easy fix! Owner even offered to loan us a vehicle to go to FLORIDA, & pick our car up on the way back! And they didnt even charge us! Very gracious & accommodating! Made sure we were comfortable while waiting, offered snacks & drinks. Southern hospitality at its finest!

My husband and I recently moved into the area and we tried several mechanics before we found Blackwell Automotive. I am extremely pleased with the courteous and professional service that we have received from them. They have been able to fit us into their schedule quickly when we have needed help with our vehicles and I have been pleased with the quality of the repairs that they have made to our vehicles. Additionally, when one of my windshield wipers flew off of my car during my commute, they made the time to replace it for me immediately even though they were very busy that day so that I wouldnt have to drive home in the rain with no wipers. This isnt necessarily a factor in my 4 star rating, but as a cherry on top of the sundae they have the largest, most comfortable waiting room that I have ever seen. It is attractive, clean, and stocked with every possible amenity: snacks, drinks, computers, comfortable seating, phone chargers, reading material, etc. As far as we are concerned, Blackwell Automotive is our go to for as long as we live here and own vehicles.

The team at Blackwell is very friendly, courteous and professional and their prices are very reasonable. Their customer waiting areas are more comfortable and well-equipped than any other automotive repair facility I’ve visited, including dealership sales and service facilities. I highly recommend Blackwell for any automotive service needs.

The Blackwell owners and staff are committed to providing their customers with the best service available, and at reasonable expense. They take pride in the work they do. Their waiting rooms are above and beyond imagination: tvs, computers, comfortable chairs, recliners, and sofas; beautiful artwork (for sale) by local artists, and an assortment of snacks and drinks should one become hungry or thirsty. The facility is extremely clean, and the windows are soundproofed from the nearby airport. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and often greets customers on a first name basis. All business is conducted professionally, and they go the extra mile to ensure satisfaction. I will be a customer for life. They’ve earned my trust and my business; I recommend them to anyone who owns a Lexus or Toyota. These are good Christian people who walk the walk. I am fortunate to have them take care of our vehicles. Stop in today. Check them out. You won’t be disappointed.

Went to Blackwell Automotive last week. Right before I went, I cleaned out my car because Id just been on a trip and had stuff everywhere so I was very aware of the state of my car when I brought it in. While I was there, everyone was very professional and helpful. I was really happy with the service I received and had all my questions thoroughly answered. Until a few days later when I went into the back of my car to see one of my car mats was missing. I am absolutely certain it was there before I brought the car into Blackwell and no one but me and this shop entered the vehicle between me knowing that mat was in there and it being missing. So I called and, surprise, they have no idea. I really would have loved to leave a glowing review but this is just sketchy.

I have trust issues specially with mechanics but I don’t have those issues with Blackwell. They are very professional and straightforward with how they do business. If you have a Toyota or Lexus don’t think twice on bringing your car to Blackwell because your car will be in good hands.

Blackwell Automotive has done regular scheduled maintenance on my car. I am very pleased with their service and their attention to detail. This last time I stopped in to get my tire air pressure checked. The tire pressure light warning light had come on. The staff there at Blackwell Automotive got my car worked in; I was on my way in no time.Great customer service, highly recommend this car maintenance company.

They have always been very easy to do business with. They treat me like I am their neighbor. They have done excellent work on my 2004 RX and have kept it in tip top condition for the last 11 years. I would not trust my vehicle to anyone else to work on. THEY ARE THE BEST!! I highly recommend them.

I am so grateful for Blackwell Automotive. I was worried about going outside of my dealership for other services. A friend of mine recommended Blackwell Automotive. Let me say I am more than happy I stepped out of my comfort zone. I am pleased with their professionalism, quality, and honesty and quotes .I spoke with Mr Blackwell who is so down to earth. He treats everyone like family. Great leadership and family like environment.

The headlights on my 2008 Prius were flickering and going out occasionally. They always came back on if I turned the switch off and back on but I was afraid they might fail on a night trip. Blackwell researched the problem and found a notice from Toyota that recommended replacement of the bulbs which they did. They did the job promptly and kept me informed

My wife can bring the car in and get it serviced. She has always returned with very positive remarks about the service; especially the time taken to help her understand the procedures, answer her questions, and make sure she understands all that the technicians are doing.

*Writing this review for my father*My dear friend has been taking her car to your garage for all types of repairs and to keep it serviced properly for awhile. We always thought that you did quality work at competitive prices, but after her last visit we were very surprised and disappointed. Her AC stopped cooling so I was going to help her out with it, and when I was adding freon I noticed a leak. The compressor was working fine and it started cooling really well until it ran low on freon. She took it to you and you serviced the vehicle as youve done so many times before. She also wanted you to fix the leak and add freon. When she got a call from you saying that the compressor was bad and you gave her an estimate, she was very surprised because I had told her that the compressor was good and I also showed her where the leak was, which she passed that information on to you. She didnt have you do the repair because I told her that I would take care of it for her. I bought an assortment of O rings and two 12oz cans of freon, and after spending less than $25 and about 30 minutes the problem was solved. I saved her from getting ripped off of more than $1,000 by you.

Have been a customer of Blackwell Automotive for a number of years and have never been dissatisfied. Always, always been friendly but most importantly, honest. Their honesty has been proven when I thought I had a problem and would have paid for a repair BUT was shown why a repair was unnecessary. I fully trust Blackwell Automotive and recommended them to my family and friends.

Review №36

We moved here a few months ago and of course the ABS warning light on our highlander hybrid goes off. After pooling our neighborhood fb group we heard about Blackwell and decided to give it a try. Im so glad I did!! Not only was their diagnostic the most competitively priced, they also were able to do the repair immediately and again were most competitively priced (I had an idea of the repair and had priced a couple shops beforehand.)Lastly, their waiting area was a life saver!!!! Three rounds of snacks for my 3 kids made the 3 hr (1 hr diagnostic, 2 hr work) repair go by quickly we were one stop and done! What I originally thought was going to be a hour or so to diagnose and then have to schedule the work done, turned into 3 hrs. total and the repair is complete. Thank you!

Wonderful Car shop. Absolutely recommend for any car owner. Great prices and truly caring employees. I have Acura which Blackwell was able to fix as well even though they are specifically for Lexus and Toyota make cars. Blackwell did great with my Acura’s needs. My Dad usually fixes my cars but he lives in VA, so I found this shop which was beyond my expectations for a car shop. A previous car shop took advantage that I was a girl and didn’t understand what was wrong with my car, but not Blackwell. Blackwell treated me equally and explained to me all the possible problems with my tires that could be occurring and they even held off on balancing my tires until I drove it again to made sure that I truly wanted the tires balanced. Absolutely Exceptional Service. Will be going back to Blackwell for all my future car needs.

I took my Toyota Camry in for repair, preparedto need a head gasket replacement due to coolant loss which is a very expensive repair. After checking the engine it was not the gasket but, the water pump which is a much, much less expensive fix. Richmond and Danny were very honest and forthcoming with options and recommendations for what would be necessary to fix my car right! I highly recommend Blackwell Automotive. Also, they only use OEM parts.

I can’t speak enough good things about this business! I had previously shopped around for a repair for my 2015 Camry that had a very loud rattling/pop coming from the sunroof. When I found this business they were very nice with trying to help me narrow down the issue and getting me a reasonable quote! I had a quick turn around and they called me about a week or two later to make sure the repair was still working properly!Also, the business was very good with COVID precautions they didn’t have a full waiting room, and I was able to actually wait outside if I wanted to sit maskless.

The fuel pump in my car went out while I was driving through Chattanooga on a Friday night and I left it here to be fixed over the weekend while I was out of town. I was able to easily communicate with them about the issue and they fixed the pump and processed my payment over the phone without any complications whatsoever. They are closed on Sundays so they fixed it on Saturday and had it ready for me to pick up at the shop on my way back through town Sunday night. I would use them again without hesitation and recommend them for anyone in the area who needs a professional auto shop.

Blackwell took excellent care of us, as always. They are very mindful of the cost of the repair and they do not force unnecessary repairs on you. If they feel its urgent, they say so and also if they feel it can wait, they say that as well. The service is fast and courteous. The atmospher is pleasant and inviting. I highly recommend Blackwell, especially for the Lexus automobiles. The prices are much more responsible without sacrificing quality service and skill.

I had all sorts of warning lights on my car, brakes not working, and was expecting a major repair. I got lucky, it turned out to be a small thing causing big symptoms. These guys took care of it for a very reasonable price. They took the time to investigate carefully and test drove it twice to make sure they had resolved the issue. I had never used them before, but I will never take my car anywhere else.

Blackwell automotive is absolutely the best Toyota specialist I have ever been to. They are honest, FAST, and very very transparent. I cannot tell you how many times I have brough my 4runner in and they have diagnosed that there isn’t an issue. When they 100% could have. I just trust these folks. Rich and dan are super kind. And remember your face if you come back. I honestly don’t see a need to have another mechanic, because these guys are just everything I need. I can pay them to diagnose a problem, fix the problem and they do exactly what they say they will. I would recommend them to anyone. If you need help, these guys will get it done.

From the first call to the time I walked out of the door, they answered all my questions, were honest and went beyond the expected to make sure we knew what we were considering.Very reasonably priced, friendly, and right near the Krispy Kreme!If we lived in the area, I would use them regularly.Thank you again for being our blessing so far away from home.
