Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hello Review Readers,
DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA!!!
This was the MOST PLEASANT, PROFESSIONAL experience I have had with an auto shop EVER!! I had an issue in Dekalb (not from that neck of the woods) with my car smoking. I called a few places that were in the area close to where I was stranded. Since the time Brent answered the phone until the time I picked up my car I knew I chose the right place. First they took an overall view of my vehicle spotting issues that I did not even know I had. The BEST part was, there was NO PRESSURE as to what I decided to fix. No scare tactics, COMPLETELY upfront and honest with me. With Brent's COMPASSION I felt I could be honest back with NO JUDEMENT. He listened to my concerns, the money that I already put into the car, and let me tell him what my options were. He was willing to do "Whatever it Takes" to get me back on the road! As a single mother paying all the bills, I would 100% make the trip to go back to this shop, even for an oil change!!! Not only is the value AMAZING, the people that work there are AMAZING too!!!
THANK YOU Brent, Lee, girl closing out my ticket (sorry I think it was Amanda?), and the mecheanics that I didn't even see!
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.....THANK YOU!!!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bockmans auto is the best auto repair shop in DeKalb county hands down, I was very impressed by their service, super friendly staff and the cleanliness of the waiting area and restroom, I've seen some pretty horrific dirty restrooms in repair shops and they do a fantastic job keeping it clean in there, I was very grateful for that. They fixed my car for a very reasonable price and I don't know anything about cars so I had a lot of questions. Sam was very helpful and patient with me and answered every single question I had, he did an excellent job and was very professional. I recommend Bockmans highly, keep up the great work!
