Our motor home broke down just east of Lebanon. I called all the RV shops and mechanics in the area and even a few in Nashville. Anyone who was willing to work on motor homes was completely booked out for at least a week.Colgate’s Affordable Auto/Diesel Repair told me they were equally busy, but would take a look and see what they could do. Our throttle body was shot. Matthew did his due diligence to find a replacement at a reasonable cost. He was very sympathetic to our situation and rushed the part in and squeezed us into the schedule. Two days later we were back on the road.The yard is secure with ample video surveillance and they took excellent care of our home while it was in their possession.I hate that we broke down and had to stay in a hotel for three nights, but the silver lining was that we broke down near Colgate’s shop. I hope that I never have to visit them again, but if we happen to need maintenance the next time we are near Lebanon, Colgate’s will be the first place I call.

Only place that had any availability to keep me on the road in the area. Super friendly and down to earth folks and vehicle is performing great. Definitely recommend for those in the area

This shop was great I would recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their truck. Chris was great gave us lots of information on our truck!

I broke down in Lebanon at a pilot truck stop 400 miles away from home, I called what seemed like every shop in the state, including mobile mechanics and no one had time to help, until we found these guys at Colgates affordable auto/diesel repair. They gave me directions to the shop and had me in the building within 20 minutes. They are kind, professional guys with a great attitude and a focus on the job. I cannot recommend anyone higher than these guys. Thanks a million!

Matthew (Catfish) is a great person who does incredible work. He is honest and professional.As an out of town person, he took my truck in right away, found the problem, worked tirelessly to fix it in a very timely manner. Did his best to fix it in the most affordable way.I highly recommend him and his work.

Excellent service! Quick and easy communication and scheduling through google maps.

Amazing customer service. Great pricing. Finally an honest mechanic that wont try and up sell you on services you do not need.

Out of the three places I got quotes from, Colgate was the most affordable. They serviced all of my issues as opposed to other companies who only fix one or two. And repairs were completed in a timely manner, was a pleasure to work with.

The owner and his wife are some of the most honest and trustworthy people I know. They know what they are doing here and they love what they do. My family will be going here for all of our auto needs!

I was looking for a top-rated place to take my car and I ran across this business. Even though they are related to my step-dads family, their 5 Star rating and comments from satisfied customers were why I chose them. Glad I did.

Ive gotten 3 different quotes. 2 were mind bending. The 3rd was great for what I need. Colgates is the place to get your truck work done. Im looking forward to doing business with them.

Very pleased with the services I received and to work with a company that is Professional, kind and thorough!

Very impressed with his work, great timing and great prices. He kept me updated every step of the way. Would definitely recommend for someone needing repairs and will definitely use him again

Great service! Matt is honest and dependable. He cares about his clients and doesnt overcharge. He explained everything that would need to be done beforehand, and I got frequent updates throughout the service. Definitely recommend, and plan to use Colgate Affordable Auto again for future repair needs!

This man had closed for the day, late Saturday evening and I called and he immediately came back to work. Not only fixed my car by Monday but delivered it to me at work. People you just dont get service like that anymore. Cant say enough good things about this man.

We broke down near Lebanon, TN on the side of the road with 3 kids, 2 dogs and towing our camper. Matthew came out on the highway to see if it was something he could fix and get us on our way. Unfortunately it wasn’t. We were stranded in Lebanon. He was supposed to be leaving for vacation but told us he wouldn’t go till he had us safely back on the road. He ended up spending 3 days getting our oil pump and doing a complete service on our excursion before we drove it 500 miles back home with no problems. We were very grateful we broke down where we did. His prices were fair and he was genuinely concerned that he wanted to get us back on the road safely.

Good friendly service, affordable prices!

Finally found a mechanic I can trust. They took care of me and worked late to get my truck back on the road. They will be getting all my business from here on out.

Great guys, they are on their game when they come to help you 👍!!! I would use them again!!!

You will not be disappointed! Very fair and honest!

Awesome service and very trustworthy! Will be returning for all our vehicle needs!

Needed my ac compressor replaced. I had the part and he gave me a very good deal to replace the part. Very professional. Kept me informed the whole time.

The Best Mechanic Shop Around! BAR NONE!

Great service. Fast, Affordable, Friendly, and Honest! Hard to find these days! Matt is the best, so if you’re looking for help! He is your guy!

Very honest guy who will not break your bank account. He fixed our rollback in one day and then it started messing up and called him and he said bring it back we will fix the problem .

Matt Colgate was a great help. I called him before he even got to the shop and he stopped by on his way to the shop. He communicated clearly what he found and make a quick fix! I will definitely use him again!

Honest and reliable services. Will definitely bring all my auto repair needs to Colgates!

We recently used him on a company work truck! He was more than awesome and affordable! Will be coming here more often and we drove from Donelson! The repairs he explained in detail!!!

Wonderful all around with workmanship, quality, and caring about his product. Very thankful!

Very good job,affordable nice guy. I would recommend if your in need of a legitimate mechanic.
