So thankful for Southern Dixie Auto Repair! They quickly saved us in a bind! Quick and efficient! Thank you so much!!!
Great people! I had tire blow out on my equipment trailer and these folks went above and beyond to get a couple tire for me. Definitely would recommend this place.
Great experience! Very professional and did excellent work! Highly recommend... employees go above and beyond
Wonderful service and amazing attitude from everyone there! I had a bolt go through one of my tires and they were able to fix it quick and easy for me! In and out in no time. Will highly recommend them to anyone in need of any auto repairs!
My son has car trouble on his way home from college two days before Christmas. Made it to Southern Dixie around 2:30. They were very kind, figure out the problem, fixed it and had him on his way home by 5 with a fair price for their work. Thank you!
These guys were fantastic. They were able to pick up my truck and trailer and take me to the next exit to get diesel and I was back on the road within an hour. Very reasonable price for the service received. Thanks!
I've always heard great things about Southern Dixie Auto Repair and today I was able to experience their outstanding service for myself! They quickly diagnosed and repaired an issue with my Dad's car. We had been quoted a price of $1,700 by a local dealership and Southern Dixie was able to make the repair for 80% less! I appreciate their skilled service and warm customer care. I'll definitely be back!
Wonderful service!!! I was traveling to a work event and my alternator went out!. They had me back on the road in less than an hour. The are so very friendly. Great price too. I appreciate them so very much!!!
These people have saved my butt 3 times in 2 years now. From two flat tires, to being hands down the best place to get affordable tires WITH a 6 month warranty on NEW tires for the cheapest I have EVER found in my 15 years of driving. I’ve already put several hundreds of miles being a travel nurse and if I ever need anything from a Tow to an alignment to an oil change I prefer here because I know these exceptional, friendly, and great people will be honest to me as they will be to anyone that comes through their doors. They saved me money when they could’ve prioritized profit and I can’t recommend them enough to family and friends! Thank y’all again!
I’ve used Southern Dixie for years. Very competitive and competent. Never had a bad experience. Thank you for what you do!
Update: I took my wife’s car in for rotate and balance. They called that afternoon and informed me they got my oil changed! Oh well everyone makes mistakes. The next day my wife called and said there was a puddle oil under her car, so she was scared to drive it. I drove all the way to Montgomery and found the oil plug was dripping. Southern Dixie stripped my oil plug out. They fixed it next day. (I hope)
I recently bought a set of tires (850.00)for my truck atSouthern Dixie and had the front end aligned a week or so later. They called and said it was ready and bill was 175.00 (for front end work) or there about. I called back and told them it would be after 5 before I could pick it up, so leave keys under mat and I would come settle up with them the next morning. They said no, they don’t do that. I understand that in a case to where they might not know the customer , but I’ve been doing business there for probably 15 years. Bought every set of tires I needed in that 15 years from them. That’s no way to treat a 15+ years customer. When Jeff left the business and turned it over to his son in law, it has steadily went down hill. That is two back to back bad experiences I have had since Jeff left. Very sad that a good business built up over time by Jeff gets ruined in a short time by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. The employees there are good people, the problem is the people running it.
Don’t trust these people, you have other options in Clanton. I will not be back for a third bad experience.

My truck broke down late at night while traveling to Birmingham to visit a family member hospitalized at UAB. Upon speaking with this place the following morning, they were empathetic and got my vehicle back running by the end of the day, and for a great price! Outstanding service and better people.
Highly recommend southern Dixie! After calling all around for a tire so we could travel back to Arkansas, these amazing people came in on a Saturday to help us get back home. These are some kind hearted and reliable people!
Absolutely no he beat people. Colton went above and beyond for my family. I live in tn and my mom broke down near Clanton Al. Colton came to her rescue and not only picked up her truck but 4 of my family members and stayed with them in the air condition (it was 98 degrees) for two hours or more while I ran around trying to get a rental. They ultimately repaired my mom’s truck and were in constant communication the entire step of the way. It took 3.5 half weeks to repair the truck but to no fault of this company. We had to have a new engine. Colton did everything he could to get us the best deals and parts.i truly appreciate him more than he will ever know. It’s hard to find honest people these days and I feel this company and the employees are more than amazing people. I highly recommend them. Again I love in TM but would go back to them for any issues I may have in the future
I highly recommend Southern Dixie towing . We were headed back home to Ky when we got into and accident up the road on I65 . Once our vehicle was safetly removed from the interstate Derrick was called to tow the vehicle to his shop. When he arrived he was super nice and talked us through a few options . With the car being inoperable rather than leaving the car in alabama we decided to get it back home to Ky. We wanted it back home ASAP and Derrick said he needed to swap trucks for a longer haul and he did so with zero hesitation . It made it safely back to Ky a few hours later. Stand up place Thanks again Derrick !!!
Driving back from Destin, we were involved in a wreck! My car needed to be towed to prevent further damage and I just couldn’t leave her so far from home. Derrick towed my car from Clanton, Al all the way to Glasgow, KY and dropped her off around 1am after working all day long! He kept in contact with me the whole time! I can’t speak highly enough on him and his family’s business and they deserve a 20/10. The most down to earth, genuine person, and he made a terrible situation a lot smoother and easier on us. Thank you so much for being the best!!!!
Amazing service to help us out when our tire blew on way north from PC vacation. He also found a tire for us & delivered car to that location. A nice honest and friendly guy!!
Amazing towing service, my lower control arm snapped while passing through Clanton and they had the best prices and best service! They towed my car all the way home to Calera. They went out of their way to ensure my vehicle and I made it home safely 10/10 recommend! They even sold me a tire for my vehicle at an amazing price!
I needed a mechanic to change my oil cooler on short notice. Southern Dixie got me in and fixed it at a fair price. I would strongly recommend them. They are my go to Auto Repair in Clanton.
Good. Quick service. Dropped off on Wednesday morning picked up Thursday by lunch time.
What an amazing company! Our son was driving from Florida to Alabama, and unfortunately ran over an armadillo.
He drove to Southern Dixie Auto Repair
where they quickly diagnosed the problem and charged him next to nothing.
Any other company might have taken advantage of the situation, but this company was amazing. We highly recommend them to anyone who needs vehicle repair.

I will never take anything for them to fix anything eles . I went to get my tire fixed and the office lady told me it will take a few hours too get 1 tire fixed WTH
Sent car in for front end vibration, which Inthought was a tire out of balanced. Turnout out brakes were bad and contributing to the problem. They checked with me first, provided a reasonable quote, ordered the parts, and had me fixed up in just a few hours. I’m extremely pleased with the service and will recommend them to friends and family.
Last week I took my car to have it checked at Southern Dixie Auto Repair for suspension issues. I told them what was going on and how my car felt unstable, swayed at high speeds, and that it bounced and made a pop noise going over bumps. I paid them $98 for diagnostic to be ran just for them to lie to my face and tell me that my car had no suspension issues and that my brakes and rotors were metal on metal and that I needed new tires. I took it there because they are local and I was scared to drive it so far to the dealership. Today I brought my car to the dealership and found out my car has bad ball joints, bad struts that are leaking fluid, and I need an alignment. They are liars here and scammed me for $100 that I didn't have to give someone. Do not trust these people.
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOOLE. They won’t fix the problem and then charge you, and then hang up when you call to talk to them about it.
I highly recommend this business's!
Thank you Jeremy! He took great care of us and our vehicle. Last night we were heading home on 65N and had a freak accident resulting in our truck’s back tire literally breaking off and the truck’s axle caught fire. We were left stranded and shook up. We were referred to Dixie Towing by a local police officer. They immediately came out and helped us every way he could.

My son was driving from Tuscaloosa to Auburn and had a tire blowout. Unfortunately, he did not have tire tools in his car after changing a tire last summer. He got towed to Southern Dixie Auto Repair via AAA. A kind man, who I will assume was the owner, changed the tire at 8:30pm on a Sunday night without charge. As a concerned father in another state, who was happy to pay, please accept my sincere gratitude! There are many good people in this world, whether or not you see it on TV and social media.
** in response to the reply, I am aware of the situation and I’m very sorry that he is sick. BUT it does not give ANYONE the excuse to lie, blame customers, or lead people on. There is absolutely no reason for how this was handled. It would have been very easy to have told me you have no diesel mechanic when I called or even dropped the truck off. Or to have even had the courtesy to call once you supposedly looked at the truck. And then to have owned up to the fact that the problem that I was having got worse while the truck was in your possession. I would have handled this situation very differently had someone just been honest. But since no one can seem to be honest in your place of business, I will be leaving my reviews up to warn everyone just what type of business you all are running in the owners absence.
Do not. And I mean DO NOT, take your vehicle here.
I have had work done on my diesel truck here in the past and they were fantastic, but I had a very different experience here this past week.
I called Monday morning at 8am and asked if they could look at a problem I was having with my diesel truck. They said they could and to bring it in. I immediately got up, had someone arranged to come pick me up, and drove and dropped my truck off. When I got there I explained the problem that I was having and asked them to also change the oil while I was there. They said that would be fine and they would let me know in just a little while what was wrong with the truck.
Fast forward to 230PM, I had not heard from them so I called and asked about the truck. I was told the tech was at lunch and he would return my call. 330PM and a tech called. At this point I was informed they did not have a diesel mechanic and I would have to take my truck elsewhere to be looked at. I was told they really didn’t have time to look at it and just didn’t know what was wrong. Possibly had an exhaust leak and something was wrong with the turbo cooler. But remember, they didn’t have time to look at it.
So now I had to scramble to find another ride to go pick my truck back up. I just had a diesel truck worked on here just about a month ago, so I knew they worked on them. No one informed me that they no longer had a diesel mechanic and just sat on my truck all day and were not going to let me know anything about what was happening.
When I arrived to pick up my truck, I was given the keys and as soon as I started to drive I could tell the truck was in considerably worse shape than it was before. I had to drive with my hazards on to even get to the next repair shop that actually had a diesel mechanic. I called and spoke to the supposed manager of the shop and he, in so many words, called me a liar and told me that what I was hearing and experiencing in the truck was happening when I dropped it off.
Just a word of advice, I would not do any business with these people. They are far from honest and messed up my truck worse than when I dropped it off. I ended up taking it to Johnnys and they were fantastic and my truck will never go anywhere else now.

Overall one of the most pleasant tow truck experiences I’ve ever had made possible dude to Mr. Jimmy! I was passing through coming from Florida and had a radiator hose blow on me at 4 in the morning. Mr jimmy picked up and was able to get me off the road an hour later and was also able to assist me in repairing the problem. God bless him and the company!
I can’t express enough how kind and helpful Jeff was. We were 10 hours from home and we’re in a horrible accident. Jeff came with his wrecker to tow what was left of our truck and trailer, he offered to take us 20 minutes out of his way to a hotel. He told us on the way that he was getting married in just a few hours, yet here he was helping us. The kindness he showed to us during this trauma was over and above what he needed to do. He even gave us all a hug because he knew we were so shook up. Thank you again Jeff!!
On September 8th, 2023 we began our 2023 family vacation traveling from the Florida panhandle to
Gatlinburg TN. Three hours into our journey our vehicle develop mechanical issues. These issues required us to get off the Interstate and thankfully we were able to coast into a nearby parking lot. Shortly after we came to a stop another vehicle pulled in behind us. We asked the people if they were from the local area and if they could recommend a trustworthy and honest car maintenance and repair place nearby.
They immediately and enthusiastically recommended Southern Dixie Auto Repair in Clanton, Alabama. Which, was only a mile up the road from the parking lot we just pulled into. We were able to get the broken vehicle into the parking lot of Southern Dixie Auto Repair in just a matter of minutes.
Amazing team at Southern Dixie Auto Repair...we primarily dealt with team members Carl and Robbie. They were super helpful and so kind and accommodating as they helped diagnose and chart a path to our vehicle health restoration. Thank you so much Southern Dixie Auto Repair. We were so blessed to have you help us in our time of need. We only missed one of our vacation days!!!

Where to start...I will start with how Robbie and Donnie are AMAZING people. We had a catastrophic engine failure a few miles North of Clanton on I65N. Robbie worked with my warranty company every step of the way and stayed in touch with me as I live over an hour away. Once they claim was approved, and the new engine came in, Donnie had the new engine in and purring like a kitten in no time. I would or should of been angry over the situation with my car that day. It was something about how they handled, rather comforted me during the process that gave me peace of mind. Robbie and Donnie, I cannot thank each of you enough!!
I highly recommend using this business if you’re in the area. We had a blow out on our camper, on a Sunday. The owner was closing up shop but waited on us to get there. He not only replaced the damaged tire; he also replaced all of the tires and it 97 degrees outside 😇! 8/27/2023! Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
Robbie Donnie and Carl were very helpful with my situation. Me and my family were headed to gulf shores. When my truck broke down. Even though it was fully packed she still found time to get me worked in. They fix my truck within a matter of no time. The mechanic knew what it was right away. After they finished what they were doing, they immediately started working on my truck. They even checked all my fluids and topped them off. I greatly appreciate everything for me and my family. I would recommend them to everyone.
Just imagine you are driving 7 hours to the beach with your wife and kids on Sunday. You hear a pop and now you have a flat tire on the interstate. You call every tire place and they are closed. You tip toe on your thin spare to all the walmarts in town and they have tire and no techs to put it on. It is now after hours, all hope is lost and you take a shot in the dark and call a closed wreckage shop 40 minutes away….. SOMEONE PICKS UP! The person on the phone owns this wreckage shop and is spending time with his family. He says,” I can fix your tire, no problem!” The words I didn’t think I would hear. Not only does he put on a new tire, but at a deal! This shop is a place I would take my car even if it wasn’t an issue, the service was amazing, the place was clean and the hospitality was impeccable. I highly recommend!
I met Robbie and right away I knew I was in the right place. Not only did they invite my huge dogs inside to sit on the couch and love on them (pitt and doberman) we sat in the A/C while they fixed us all around. Checked all fluids and all tires even on the trailer. I felt completely taken care of even tho I was only here for one front tire on the Tahoe! I was on the road alone and couldn't speak more highly of the owner Jeff and his attention to that fact! Great place to go and good honest people!
I HIGHLY recommend Southern Dixie Auto Repair. I can’t say enough positive things about their incredible kindness and customer service.
I’m from out of town, and my check engine light started flashing while on I-65 on a Saturday afternoon. Hours away from home, I called several auto shops in the area, but no one answered. When I called Southern Dixie, they answered immediately and told me to bring it in. They met me immediately and checked on my engine, even though it was almost 2 hours after their close of business. Then, they didn’t charge me and wouldn’t take my money when I tried to pay them anyway. All they asked for was a positive review online!
If I could give them 6 stars, I would. I am completely blown away by their work and their kindness to a complete stranger. I’m not sure what I would have done if they hadn’t helped me out. Please go to them for all of your auto repair needs! They’re a good business and just good people.

Amazing service to help us out when our tire blew on way north from PC vacation. He also found a tire for us & delivered car to that location. A nice honest and friendly guy!!
Amazing towing service, my lower control arm snapped while passing through Clanton and they had the best prices and best service! They towed my car all the way home to Calera. They went out of their way to ensure my vehicle and I made it home safely 10/10 recommend! They even sold me a tire for my vehicle at an amazing price!
I needed a mechanic to change my oil cooler on short notice. Southern Dixie got me in and fixed it at a fair price. I would strongly recommend them. They are my go to Auto Repair in Clanton.
Good. Quick service. Dropped off on Wednesday morning picked up Thursday by lunch time.
What an amazing company! Our son was driving from Florida to Alabama, and unfortunately ran over an armadillo.
He drove to Southern Dixie Auto Repair
where they quickly diagnosed the problem and charged him next to nothing.
Any other company might have taken advantage of the situation, but this company was amazing. We highly recommend them to anyone who needs vehicle repair.

I will never take anything for them to fix anything eles . I went to get my tire fixed and the office lady told me it will take a few hours too get 1 tire fixed WTH
Sent car in for front end vibration, which Inthought was a tire out of balanced. Turnout out brakes were bad and contributing to the problem. They checked with me first, provided a reasonable quote, ordered the parts, and had me fixed up in just a few hours. I’m extremely pleased with the service and will recommend them to friends and family.
Last week I took my car to have it checked at Southern Dixie Auto Repair for suspension issues. I told them what was going on and how my car felt unstable, swayed at high speeds, and that it bounced and made a pop noise going over bumps. I paid them $98 for diagnostic to be ran just for them to lie to my face and tell me that my car had no suspension issues and that my brakes and rotors were metal on metal and that I needed new tires. I took it there because they are local and I was scared to drive it so far to the dealership. Today I brought my car to the dealership and found out my car has bad ball joints, bad struts that are leaking fluid, and I need an alignment. They are liars here and scammed me for $100 that I didn't have to give someone. Do not trust these people.
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOOLE. They won’t fix the problem and then charge you, and then hang up when you call to talk to them about it.
I highly recommend this business's!
Thank you Jeremy! He took great care of us and our vehicle. Last night we were heading home on 65N and had a freak accident resulting in our truck’s back tire literally breaking off and the truck’s axle caught fire. We were left stranded and shook up. We were referred to Dixie Towing by a local police officer. They immediately came out and helped us every way he could.

My son was driving from Tuscaloosa to Auburn and had a tire blowout. Unfortunately, he did not have tire tools in his car after changing a tire last summer. He got towed to Southern Dixie Auto Repair via AAA. A kind man, who I will assume was the owner, changed the tire at 8:30pm on a Sunday night without charge. As a concerned father in another state, who was happy to pay, please accept my sincere gratitude! There are many good people in this world, whether or not you see it on TV and social media.
** in response to the reply, I am aware of the situation and I’m very sorry that he is sick. BUT it does not give ANYONE the excuse to lie, blame customers, or lead people on. There is absolutely no reason for how this was handled. It would have been very easy to have told me you have no diesel mechanic when I called or even dropped the truck off. Or to have even had the courtesy to call once you supposedly looked at the truck. And then to have owned up to the fact that the problem that I was having got worse while the truck was in your possession. I would have handled this situation very differently had someone just been honest. But since no one can seem to be honest in your place of business, I will be leaving my reviews up to warn everyone just what type of business you all are running in the owners absence.
Do not. And I mean DO NOT, take your vehicle here.
I have had work done on my diesel truck here in the past and they were fantastic, but I had a very different experience here this past week.
I called Monday morning at 8am and asked if they could look at a problem I was having with my diesel truck. They said they could and to bring it in. I immediately got up, had someone arranged to come pick me up, and drove and dropped my truck off. When I got there I explained the problem that I was having and asked them to also change the oil while I was there. They said that would be fine and they would let me know in just a little while what was wrong with the truck.
Fast forward to 230PM, I had not heard from them so I called and asked about the truck. I was told the tech was at lunch and he would return my call. 330PM and a tech called. At this point I was informed they did not have a diesel mechanic and I would have to take my truck elsewhere to be looked at. I was told they really didn’t have time to look at it and just didn’t know what was wrong. Possibly had an exhaust leak and something was wrong with the turbo cooler. But remember, they didn’t have time to look at it.
So now I had to scramble to find another ride to go pick my truck back up. I just had a diesel truck worked on here just about a month ago, so I knew they worked on them. No one informed me that they no longer had a diesel mechanic and just sat on my truck all day and were not going to let me know anything about what was happening.
When I arrived to pick up my truck, I was given the keys and as soon as I started to drive I could tell the truck was in considerably worse shape than it was before. I had to drive with my hazards on to even get to the next repair shop that actually had a diesel mechanic. I called and spoke to the supposed manager of the shop and he, in so many words, called me a liar and told me that what I was hearing and experiencing in the truck was happening when I dropped it off.
Just a word of advice, I would not do any business with these people. They are far from honest and messed up my truck worse than when I dropped it off. I ended up taking it to Johnnys and they were fantastic and my truck will never go anywhere else now.

Overall one of the most pleasant tow truck experiences I’ve ever had made possible dude to Mr. Jimmy! I was passing through coming from Florida and had a radiator hose blow on me at 4 in the morning. Mr jimmy picked up and was able to get me off the road an hour later and was also able to assist me in repairing the problem. God bless him and the company!
I can’t express enough how kind and helpful Jeff was. We were 10 hours from home and we’re in a horrible accident. Jeff came with his wrecker to tow what was left of our truck and trailer, he offered to take us 20 minutes out of his way to a hotel. He told us on the way that he was getting married in just a few hours, yet here he was helping us. The kindness he showed to us during this trauma was over and above what he needed to do. He even gave us all a hug because he knew we were so shook up. Thank you again Jeff!!
On September 8th, 2023 we began our 2023 family vacation traveling from the Florida panhandle to
Gatlinburg TN. Three hours into our journey our vehicle develop mechanical issues. These issues required us to get off the Interstate and thankfully we were able to coast into a nearby parking lot. Shortly after we came to a stop another vehicle pulled in behind us. We asked the people if they were from the local area and if they could recommend a trustworthy and honest car maintenance and repair place nearby.
They immediately and enthusiastically recommended Southern Dixie Auto Repair in Clanton, Alabama. Which, was only a mile up the road from the parking lot we just pulled into. We were able to get the broken vehicle into the parking lot of Southern Dixie Auto Repair in just a matter of minutes.
Amazing team at Southern Dixie Auto Repair...we primarily dealt with team members Carl and Robbie. They were super helpful and so kind and accommodating as they helped diagnose and chart a path to our vehicle health restoration. Thank you so much Southern Dixie Auto Repair. We were so blessed to have you help us in our time of need. We only missed one of our vacation days!!!

Where to start...I will start with how Robbie and Donnie are AMAZING people. We had a catastrophic engine failure a few miles North of Clanton on I65N. Robbie worked with my warranty company every step of the way and stayed in touch with me as I live over an hour away. Once they claim was approved, and the new engine came in, Donnie had the new engine in and purring like a kitten in no time. I would or should of been angry over the situation with my car that day. It was something about how they handled, rather comforted me during the process that gave me peace of mind. Robbie and Donnie, I cannot thank each of you enough!!
I highly recommend using this business if you’re in the area. We had a blow out on our camper, on a Sunday. The owner was closing up shop but waited on us to get there. He not only replaced the damaged tire; he also replaced all of the tires and it 97 degrees outside 😇! 8/27/2023! Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
Robbie Donnie and Carl were very helpful with my situation. Me and my family were headed to gulf shores. When my truck broke down. Even though it was fully packed she still found time to get me worked in. They fix my truck within a matter of no time. The mechanic knew what it was right away. After they finished what they were doing, they immediately started working on my truck. They even checked all my fluids and topped them off. I greatly appreciate everything for me and my family. I would recommend them to everyone.
Just imagine you are driving 7 hours to the beach with your wife and kids on Sunday. You hear a pop and now you have a flat tire on the interstate. You call every tire place and they are closed. You tip toe on your thin spare to all the walmarts in town and they have tire and no techs to put it on. It is now after hours, all hope is lost and you take a shot in the dark and call a closed wreckage shop 40 minutes away….. SOMEONE PICKS UP! The person on the phone owns this wreckage shop and is spending time with his family. He says,” I can fix your tire, no problem!” The words I didn’t think I would hear. Not only does he put on a new tire, but at a deal! This shop is a place I would take my car even if it wasn’t an issue, the service was amazing, the place was clean and the hospitality was impeccable. I highly recommend!
I met Robbie and right away I knew I was in the right place. Not only did they invite my huge dogs inside to sit on the couch and love on them (pitt and doberman) we sat in the A/C while they fixed us all around. Checked all fluids and all tires even on the trailer. I felt completely taken care of even tho I was only here for one front tire on the Tahoe! I was on the road alone and couldn't speak more highly of the owner Jeff and his attention to that fact! Great place to go and good honest people!
I HIGHLY recommend Southern Dixie Auto Repair. I can’t say enough positive things about their incredible kindness and customer service.
I’m from out of town, and my check engine light started flashing while on I-65 on a Saturday afternoon. Hours away from home, I called several auto shops in the area, but no one answered. When I called Southern Dixie, they answered immediately and told me to bring it in. They met me immediately and checked on my engine, even though it was almost 2 hours after their close of business. Then, they didn’t charge me and wouldn’t take my money when I tried to pay them anyway. All they asked for was a positive review online!
If I could give them 6 stars, I would. I am completely blown away by their work and their kindness to a complete stranger. I’m not sure what I would have done if they hadn’t helped me out. Please go to them for all of your auto repair needs! They’re a good business and just good people.
