1018 S Thornton Ave, Dalton“tl:dr - Searching for a good mechanic can be expensive and discouraging so there's a huge value in finding a place like this. Sexton's Automotive is a rare find in that they appear trustworthy, competent, and fair. I plan to use them for more work on my cars.
I'm impressed enough that the tl:dr is a paragraph on its own.
I was a bit skeptical of this place in spite of reviews. I am mechanically inclined and often act on my curiosity and/or skepticism when I want to know more. I'm pretty easily dissatisfied with other people's work on my stuff, even if I don't complain or demand corrections.
I stopped by the shop to go over the work that I was going to request in addition to tire install/balance, I wanted TPMS replacement, replace valve stems, 4 wheel alignment. The extra work was 4 wheel alignment, replace front valve stems, and check clutch/flush the fluid. The guy at the counter seemed a bit distracted/inattentive. This didn't give me much confidence that the additional work was going to be completed.
I expected them to have the car for a week. The same guy was at the counter and warned me that they'd likely not have it ready until the next day. This also seemed to support my earlier assessment that he hadn't noted the work I requested.
They called that it was ready the next afternoon and my disappointment was ramping up to anger for the entire drive to pick it up. I was certain that they had only done the tire install. I had almost no doubt and was deciding if I was going to trust them to do the work or just pick up the car and go somewhere else for the rest.
Different guy at the counter this time and I geared up for my best Karen-quiz and folks, after that first question, I was so taken aback that I thought I was going to start stuttering.
He didn't miss a beat, he clearly answered my question and more, rendering most of the rest of my questions unnecessary. They had completed everything I requested and even after checking the car when I got home, I didn't see any signs of carelessness, shoddy work, or abuse (excessive joyriding, damaged fasteners, etc).
What a refreshing experience.
To the guy at the counter the first two times: man...I owe you an apology. I dramatically misjudged you and our interaction. You heard everything I said and communicated it forward. Well done! I've learned a lesson and look forward to meeting again.
Now if I can find a good auto body shop.”

2546 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Dalton“Had a great experience! Had to be towed from Marietta area late on a Saturday night. The driver sent updates to let us know how far away or how much longer until he was to arrive. Was extremely kind and efficient.”
“Awesome towing company. We had to get our car we just bought towed from Dalton all the way to Chattanooga and the guy we had was great at reassuring us that if anything went wrong while it was in his possession then the company would pay for it. He was careful putting the chains on and hooking it up to the body instead of the axles and even double checked everything before towing it home.”
