5-star review by Shawn Bird

"I have nothing but good things to say about Phillip and the team at Babb's Auto & Tire. Honest, Upfront, & Expert Mechanics that know the job and get it done. They took my car in and addressed the issue at hand, then inspected other issues and asked if I wanted them to take care of them (I did). They also took the time to tweak and tune a few other things to get better performance at no extra charge. My car runs and rides great again like it did 20 yrs ago before I got the 1st 100k miles on it. Thanks again to Phillip and the team at Babb's Auto & Tire. I'll be back."

5-star review by Paul Owens

"This place was awesome. Late afternoon with not many places to choose from. Driver of one of my Hot shot trucks called with brakes grinding, no trailer brakes and needing oil and filters serviced. Called ahead and they said they would make it happen. Driver got there and was pulled right in. Outstanding service with quality and honest fair rates. 5 plus stars to this shop. This is coming from a ex business owner of 112 auto repair shops."

5-star review by Stacy Forren

"My daughter is a student at UA and the alternator went bad in her car. I called Babb’s and they were able to give me a quote over the phone immediately and were able to get her car fixed the next day. Not being from that area we had to rely on the reviews and Babb’s did not disappoint. Reasonable prices, fast work, and friendly staff. They even offer a student discount. Will go back here if needed again but hopefully we won’t have to!"

5-star review by Diana Hines

"Wanna know what is convenient? Not having to take your car to get worked on after work or on your weekends off. Having my car serviced while I’m at work saved me time and was the best experience. Definitely would recommend booking with Cody and Phillip to get your car serviced."

5-star review by Timothy Alexander

"Highly recommend. I took in my vehicle for a full set of maintenance (spark plugs, brakes and rotors, several fluid flushes, serpentine belt, etc.) and they got it all done within a couple hours at almost $1000 cheaper than other quotes I had gotten. Very transparent friendly business. I then had a small issue with the belt and then fit me in and fixed it no charge. Would highly recommend to anyone in tuscaloosa area looking for a new regular place."
