General auto repair from a mechanic who's been under the hood for nearly 40 years. No upsells, no runaround.
Blowing warm? We'll get the cold back. South Georgia summers don't wait.
Check-engine light on? We chase down the gremlins other shops give up on.
From a rough idle to a low-mileage motor swap — gas engines, start to finish.
Shocks, struts, ball joints, tie rods — smooth the ride back out.
Pads, rotors, calipers, lines. Stopping power you can count on.
Oil, plugs, belts, filters, fluids — the upkeep that keeps it running.
When we fix it with NAPA parts, the repair is covered by the NAPA AutoCare Peace of Mind Warranty — nationwide parts-and-labor protection honored at thousands of participating shops across the country. Break down on a road trip, and any NAPA AutoCare center can make it right.
Genuine NAPA parts, backed by the nationwide NAPA AutoCare warranty on parts and labor — coverage that follows you and your vehicle, not just your zip code.
That's welcome — we'll install them and do the job right. Just know customer-supplied parts don't carry the NAPA warranty, so if a part fails, the coverage isn't the same.
Dan built his name on the jobs that stump other shops — electrical gremlins, drivability problems, and the diagnosis three other places missed. Turned away somewhere else? Bring it here.
Our specialty: low-mileage motor swaps — a good used motor beats a rebuild you don't need.
Back in the day, Dan turned wrenches at Brunswick's Dixie Auto — and folks started calling him Dixie Dan. The name stuck.
He opened his own shop in 1998, and nearly 40 years into the trade he's the mechanic other mechanics send their hard problems to. Grumpy? A little. Honest? Every time. (Ask him about his Miatas — he's got five.)
“…not only was the service I received quick and fair, but it was also a pleasant experience. I am a big believer in supporting locally owned businesses and I highly recommend Dixie Dan's.”
