Car repair of any complexity

The check-engine light came on and the idle was uneven — two other garages went straight to quoting a full engine rebuild at a steep price. Automaster ran a complete diagnostic first and found the real cause: a burnt sensor and a clogged injector. The repair cost a fraction of what I'd been quoted elsewhere, and the car now starts and drives like new.

I booked online and got a callback within half an hour, with a slot offered the same day. They showed me everything up on the lift and explained what really needed replacing now versus what could wait a couple of months — no pressure, no upselling. In the end they only replaced the sway bar links and the oil, and the bill matched what they'd quoted upfront.

I came in with a rough idle and had figured it was the injectors. The diagnostics found a dirty throttle body and fouled ignition coils, and they cleaned and tuned everything in a couple of hours. The work was neat and unhurried — the only downside was a bit of a wait for my turn, but they backed it with a written warranty.

After a minor accident I needed a new fender and the bumper repainted. I was worried about the colour match, but the result exceeded expectations — you can't see the seam even in direct sunlight. They also quoted three days upfront and hit that exactly, and the car came back washed.

The clutch started slipping on inclines and the car barely pulled. They gave me a firm quote before starting any work, the repair took just one day, and the final price didn't move by a single lari. I've serviced my car here ever since — before that I had to go to three different places for diagnostics, repairs and tyres.

A knock appeared on the front right after a rough road toward Mtskheta and got louder by the day. On the lift they immediately spotted a dead sway bar link and a torn CV boot. Everything was replaced in one visit, the knock is completely gone, and the car no longer wanders in corners.

The brakes started squealing and the car pulled slightly to one side under braking. It turned out the discs were worn unevenly and one caliper was sticking. They replaced the discs and pads and serviced the caliper — braking is now smooth and quiet. The only downside was a two-day wait for a slot, since they're busy this time of year.

The battery kept dying overnight even though I'd replaced it six months earlier. Automaster tracked down a current leak — rodents had chewed through the alarm wiring, so they had to rebuild part of the harness under the hood. They showed me photos of the damage and explained every step; the car now starts instantly even after a week standing.

The car started jerking at idle and drinking noticeably more fuel. Ultrasonic injector cleaning and a fuel system flush restored smooth running in a single morning, and consumption dropped noticeably within the first week. I appreciated that they didn't push a "just in case" pump replacement — they said it was still fine.

A whistle appeared on acceleration and the car noticeably lost power, plus it started burning oil. Diagnostics confirmed shaft play in the turbo and oil starvation from a clogged feed line. They rebuilt the turbo and cleared the line — full power came back. It took a day longer than promised, but they explained exactly why and didn't charge extra for it.

I came in for routine service, but the mechanic insisted on checking the timing belt given the mileage — it turned out to be right on the edge of snapping, with cracks inside. They replaced the belt, rollers and water pump the same day and showed me the old parts. It's frightening to think what could have happened on the highway if they hadn't insisted on the check.

The automatic started jerking on the 2-3 shift, sometimes with a delay. Diagnostics found wear in a valve and old fluid that had never been changed since I bought the car. They cleaned the valve body and changed the fluid and filter — shifts are smooth now. The final price came in above the initial estimate, but only after they called and I approved the extra work.

The A/C was blowing barely cool air, which is a real problem in Tbilisi summer heat. They found a small leak in a line, fixed it, recharged the refrigerant and did an antibacterial treatment — the cabin smells fresh now too. The whole thing took just over an hour, and there was a waiting area with coffee.

After hitting a pothole the car started pulling noticeably to the right, and the tyre on one side began wearing unevenly. On the 3D alignment rig they corrected the angles within half an hour and also spotted a slightly bent arm — not urgent yet, but they flagged it for later. The wheel now sits straight and the car tracks true without any effort.

A stray stone chipped the windscreen, and within a couple of weeks the chip spread into a crack across half the glass. They replaced the windscreen in a single day and recalibrated the ADAS camera — I hadn't even realised the car had one. The glass sits without a single gap, no more creaks or whistling on the highway.

I came in for a routine check-up before a long trip to Kakheti. Everything was checked within an hour, and while they were at it they changed the oil and filters — I left with a printed report and a list of what to watch at the next service. The peace of mind on the road was worth it; we made it there and back without a single issue.

After a full engine rebuild, a lot of people worry about a break-in period full of new noises — I didn't have a single one. The mechanics wrote up exactly what was replaced and why, and backed it with a 12-month warranty. The car runs quieter now than it did in its first year, and oil consumption between changes is barely noticeable.

I dropped the car off with a scuffed bumper and stained seats after years of driving with kids. I picked it up looking practically new — the abrasive polish removed the minor scratches, the ceramic coating went on evenly, and the interior was cleaned even in the hard-to-reach spots. It cost more than a regular wash, but the result was on a completely different level.

I scraped a door against a pole in a car park and was worried they wouldn't match the factory colour — Audi paints to a special code. In the end you can't find the transition between old and new paint even in daylight up close. They gave a two-year warranty on the paintwork and explained in detail how to care for it during the first month.

Our company runs three Sprinters constantly on the road, and downtime on any one of them is a direct loss. We came in with worn suspension on one van and arranged a same-day repair by appointment so it wouldn't fall out of the delivery schedule. They finished it in one shift, and after two weeks of hard use the quality has held up perfectly.

Finding import parts for a Land Rover in Tbilisi is always tricky, especially for a turbo. The mechanics were upfront that the part would need a week to order in, rather than fitting an unverified aftermarket one just to move faster. After the repair the car pulls evenly and doesn't burn oil. The wait was longer than I'd have liked, but the result was worth it.

I was switching to winter tyres on brand-new alloy wheels and was worried about scratches during fitting. They worked carefully, used protective attachments on the machine, and balanced everything correctly on the first try — not the slightest vibration on the highway. I got the wheels back in perfect condition; they even washed them before handing the car over.

I was looking at a used 3 Series and wanted an independent check before buying, separate from the seller. In an hour they went through the body, suspension, engine and electronics and found signs of a repainted fender the seller hadn't mentioned. I used that to negotiate the price down — the inspection paid for itself many times over.

The manual gearbox in my Golf started "crunching" on shifts and the clutch was engaging with a jerk. They replaced the disc, pressure plate and release bearing and bled the hydraulics while they were at it. Gears now go in smoothly with no jerk at all, and the car feels tighter than when I bought it.

On my nearly-new car the multimedia system suddenly stopped working and the dash lighting started flickering on its own — I assumed I'd have to go to the official dealer and wait weeks. Automaster found a bad contact in a connector under the dash and fixed it in one visit, without affecting the dealer warranty; all they needed was the diagnostic receipt.
