Inside Larry Johnson's Buckhead Auto Center, vehicles lounge in service bays while ASE-certified and specialty technicians work to foster trouble-free driving. Husband-and-wife team Larry and Bernadette Johnson oversee the staff, which includes Chrysler and luxury-import specialists, as they welcome all makes and models with sturdy wrenches, bottles of motor oil, and a promise that nearby tow trucks will be on their best behavior. The technicians perform oil changes, engine work, and transmission services as well as windshield and dent repair; further cosmetic upgrades may be found in the detail shop, where cars can visit when they need to shake off road filth and slip into a glossy coat of Meguiar's detailing products.

Dirt-dulled, pollen-covered car exteriors can ruin your paint finish, and a messy interior means inhaling germs, ATM receipts, and harmful McGriddle particulates. Your micro detail package includes a thorough clean inside and out, protecting your family from wayward french fries and impressing your neighbors with a superior shine that will dazzle dads, amaze moms, and temporarily blind attacking frisbees. The friendly car-care gurus at California Autobuff will apply a gentle yet firm hand wash using a soft wool mitt and a specially formulated cleaner that exfoliates car complexions to produce a smooth, even surface unmarred by bug guts, bird droppings, and auto acne. Then they'll rinse your car with a liquid wax that will make your paint shine like the mirrored surface of a dashboard disco ball and dress your tires and exterior trim with a UV protectant to prevent motorized melanoma.
