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 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!

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!

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 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.

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.
