Question 1

DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT

Accepted Answer

With an appointment, we can typically have your vehicle ready same day.  Feel free to book here or give us a call:  404-793-7503   For non-appointment drop-offs, vehicles are worked into the schedule as gaps open up. Often this still only takes us 1 day, depending on the size of the job and parts availability.

Question 2

WHERE DO I LEAVE MY KEYS FOR NIGHTLY DROP OFF?

Accepted Answer

Please leave your keys in our 24/7 night drop located right next to our front door.

Question 3

WHAT CERTIFICATIONS DO YOUR TECHNICIANS HAVE?

Accepted Answer

Our technicians hold Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications. ASE is an internationally recognized institution, which has been certifying technicians since 1972. Certifications range from simple brake service, all the way up to complex automatic transmission rebuilding. See the About Us page for details on our technicians.

Question 4

DO YOU OFFER LOANER VEHICLES OR A SHUTTLE?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we drop off anywhere within a 2.5 mile radius. Additionally, the Lindbergh MARTA station is right next door, providing quick access to the airport (More information here). ​ UBER is also becoming a cost-effective option, offering quick trips throughout Buckhead for under $5.

Question 5

WHEN CAN I DROP OFF MY CAR?

Accepted Answer

The ideal time to drop-off or pick-up your vehicle is between 7-8am, Monday through Friday. We can typically turn most work around same-day with pick-up times between 4-5pm.   If you would like to visit outside these hours, we have installed a 24/7 night drop located at the front door.  Additionally, we have 24/7 key lockers available for after hours pickup. Call for details.

Question 6

CAN I USE ANTHEM AUTOMOTIVE INSTEAD OF MY DEALER?

Accepted Answer

Yes! 100%. It is a common misbelief that all maintenance work must be done by the dealership to withhold a vehicle's warranty.  This is not true. Dealerships are required by law to honor your warranty regardless of where the maintenance work was performed. From the Federal Trade Commission:   "...the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is enforced by the FTC, makes it illegal for manufacturers or dealers to claim that your warranty is void or to deny coverage under your warranty simply because someone other than the dealer did the work." (FTC.gov, July - 2011) ​ The only time that we recommend using the dealership is under the one of the following scenarios: Recalls - all federal NHTSA recall work must be performed at dealership at no cost to the customer. SRS - we recommend the dealership perform any airbag, seat belt, or impact related work.  Additionally, these are typically under recall (see above). Warranty - if your vehicle is brand new, dealerships will typically repair major components at no charge until a certain point, typically 36k, 60k, or 100k miles, depending on the manufacturer.  This does not include standard wear-and-tear maintenance like oil changes, tires, brakes, etc.

Question 7

DO YOU DO OIL CHANGES?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. Many of our current clients began their relationship with us by having a simple oil change performed. This allowed them to get a feel for the integrity and quality of our business without a large repair risk. We would love to start a relationship with you in the same way! ​ It should be noted that we are a full-service shop.  If you are in a rush for an immediate oil change, we completely understand, and will do our best to accommodate you as quickly as possible.

Question 8

MAY I BRING MY OWN PARTS FOR YOU TO INSTALL?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we can only warranty parts that we source through our own suppliers. As a result, we are unable to conduct a non-warranty job by installing externally-supplied parts.

Question 9

WHAT QUALITY OF PARTS DO YOU USE?

Accepted Answer

High Quality - The same type of part can have a wide range of quality options, ranging from high-quality OEM level (i.e. dealer parts) to low-quality, imitation level (i.e. eBay parts).  Many parts stores offer this entire spectrum as well, typically designated by the categories of "Good, Better, Best."  All of the parts at Anthem Automotive are of OEM or better quality!
 Full Warranty - Parts purchased over-the-counter at parts stores carry a "part cost" warranty.  This means that if the part should fail, the store would give you a replacement part over-the-counter.  It would then be your responsibility to replace the failed part and complete the labor again. At Anthem Automotive, we add a "full replacement cost" warranty to the store's warranty. This means that if the part fails within 3 years or 36,000 miles, we will cover the repair in FULL, including labor!

Question 10

WHAT MODEL OF CARS DO YOU WORK ON?

Accepted Answer

We work on all makes and models of vehicles, as shown by our full range of diagnostic equipment, with the exception of Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes Benz, Corvette, Porsche, Saab, and other exotic brands (Lotus, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, etc), diesel engines, electric-hybrids, stolen-recovery vehicles, and vehicles with modifications (aftermarket suspensions, exhausts, ECM tunes, performance chips, etc).

Question 11

DO YOU DO PRE-PURCHASE VEHICLE INSPECTIONS?

Accepted Answer

For vehicles that are only 2-3 years old, the best, most comprehensive inspection is found at the OEM dealerships. The dealership will review the vehicle for any open recalls and/or technical service bulletins and typically complete those items free of charge during the same visit. This is not to say that an independent shop cannot do your pre-purchase inspection. Rather, it is simply more efficient to bring the vehicle to the dealership to have everything done at the same time.

Question 12

WHAT YEAR RANGE OF CARS DO YOU WORK ON?

Accepted Answer

Due to the lack of parts and diagnostic information, we can no longer service vehicles produced before the year 2006. If your vehicle is older than 15 years, please give us a call and we can provide you a referral based on your vehicle.
