Decided to try someone new and a small personal owned buisness, well lets just say because i used a new larger chain that moved to our town and have been very very disappointed! I am not into bashing their name, they will do that themselves over enough time. I am how ever into and willing to give great credit where credit is due! This was and has been several times now the fastest, most detailed, honest and best price company and people of Chilton County to deal with. At the almost rip age of 50 i have had to deal with alot of car issues alot more than my pocket has wanted over the years, so when i say i was scared to hear the total is and understatement, but when i got the call i was shocked at how detailed the break down was and also very very resonable for 2026 prices, i can say for myself, i have a new buisness in Clanton that from this day forward will be my one and only problem fixers, and mainteance buisness my family will use! Thank you guys so much! 10/10 all the way across the board!

I was traveling from mobile to talladega when my alternator decided it was gonna crap out on us. Luckily we made it to clanton and this shop was the first we saw and we just picked it because it was close. Little did I know they would be one of if not the best mechanic experience I have ever had. We decided to wait in the shop given us not being from the area. We were in and out in about 3 hours or so. They were so nice, kept us updated, and made sure we were ok the whole time we were there. Very reasonably priced and fair. Being there for 3 hours there were a few other people that were in and out and they treated everyone with the same kindness and understanding. It was honestly refreshing to see. If you are ever in a bind with your vehicle and are in the clanton area give this shop a call.

We were driving home to Wisconsin from PCB and our van broke down…it was 4:30 am, I called and they came and towed us. One of their kind mechanics came and fixed our van and we were back on the road in hours. It was their overall friendliness, the fact that they went above and beyond that they deserve more than five stars. If I didn’t live in Wisconsin I’d have them service all our cars but we are forever grateful they serviced us when we needed them.

I want to thank everyone that works at Southern Dixie Automotive. I broke down 250 miles from home at 11:30 at night. They were so nice and helpful from the moment they took my call. My car was towed per my request to their repair shop and I was dropped me off as I requested at the hotel nearby. Next morning first thing they had already started diagnosing what was wrong with my car. Which isn't easy because it is a little foreign car that not all mechanics work on. They figured it out and the cost for the tow and immediate service was very reasonable. They took great care of myself and my little car. I can't recommend them enough. If you are looking for a trustworthy company to rescue you, this is the company.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough good things about Southern Dixie Auto Repair. We were traveling home to Kentucky from Florida when we hit a deer at 4 am and were at serious risk of being stranded. From the moment we contacted them, their service was extremely prompt, helpful, thoughtful, and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure our car safely made it to their lot, and they didn’t stop there—they also helped make sure we had a rental car and a plan to continue getting home. In a stressful situation far from home, their kindness and willingness to help meant everything to us. It’s rare to find people who genuinely care the way they did. If you ever need honest, dependable service from people who truly look out for their customers, I highly recommend them.

I had an excellent experience with this auto tow and repair service. Dana answered the phone and was professional, calm, and incredibly helpful from the start, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Rodney and Derrick assisted with the tow and repair, and they were outstanding — prompt, knowledgeable, and efficient. They explained everything clearly, worked quickly, and treated my vehicle with care. You can tell they genuinely know what they’re doing and take pride in their work. I’m extremely grateful for the whole team and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing reliable towing or repair services

Southern Dixie Auto Repair truly lives up to all their stellar reviews! They are so friendly, professional and helpful. They take pride in doing their best to get you back on the road in a safe and reliable car. My car just stopped running as I was pulling out of a rest stop. I was near Clanton, 200 miles from home. Not only did Southern Dixie work on my vehicle - the timing belt had slipped, but they also did a full diagnostic of the engine and discovered a cracked piston. Unfortunately, I had a 2014 limited release Fiat GQ, so finding a new or used motor was a monumental effort and we could not find one. In the end, I had to salvage my Fiat and arrange for a tow from Southern Dixie’s shop. The earliest the tow could be scheduled was several days and I had to get back home. Southern Dixie worked with me to release the car to the towing pickup even though I could not be present. While I wish I still had my car, I cannot be more grateful or thankful for the care and accommodation from the entire team at Southern Dixie Auto Repair.

I was referred by one of their competitors for a tow. The lady who answered the phone was polite and professional. She dispatched a young man to come and tow my SUV. He was also very polite and professional. I waited less than 30 minutes. Overall an extremely good experience in a trying situation. I highly recommend them!

So far so good.. After setting an appointment to find out why my check engine light had come on, we agreed on a time to have the repair done .

The repair was completed on the same day and I was able to pick it up and get on my way!!

We cannot thank Derek and the employees enough. What a wonderful place! Our car broke down on vacation and they were amazing. On top of being amazing Derek drove my family and I home to Tn in his tow truck. Also, he made our little 3 year olds dream come true by getting to ride in the big truck plus going above and beyond to letting her help press buttons and levers to unload our car at the dealership. We are so grateful for your kindness. Thank you so very much. We highly recommend!
