About Messer Auto

Independent, women-owned, and proud of it.

The Messer Auto shop in Aiken, SC

Messer Auto is a women-owned, independent repair shop on Robert M Bell Parkway in Aiken, South Carolina. We're the kind of place that answers the phone, looks you in the eye, and tells you what your vehicle actually needs, not what pads the ticket.

Over the years we've grown from straight repair into a true one-stop shop: engine and brake work, routine maintenance, roadside towing and recovery, car-audio installs, and trailer-hitch setups. If it rolls, we can probably help, and if we can't, we'll tell you that too.

That range is the whole point. A breakdown shouldn't mean three phone calls and a week of your life. We'd rather tow it in, diagnose it, fix it, and hand you back the keys, all from one shop that stands behind the work.

Honest, fair, and under one roof. That's the promise, whether you're in for an oil change, a tow at a bad time, or a stereo that finally sounds the way it should.

I cannot recommend Messer Auto enough! I originally took my car to Mavis, and they wanted to charge me almost $800 just to put a new alternator in. Knowing that was sky-high, I took it over to Messer Auto instead, and they charge me $375 which is basically what it would cost to buy the part myself and pay a fair rate for the install. Clint was absolutely amazing, incredibly informative, and completely budget-friendly throughout the whole process. They ended up replacing my water pump, serpentine belt, and alternator, and they did phenomenal work. It is so hard to find an honest, reliable mechanic these days, but the crew here are just genuinely great people who care about their customers. If you want top-tier work without getting ripped off, do yourself a favor and see Clint at Messer Auto. I will definitely be back!

My car's warranty, from the manufacturer, recently expired and of course it started acting up. I still took it to the dealership that I'd been taking it to while it was under warranty, but the cost of the repair was way more than I could afford. Messer Auto was able to do the repair at a much more affordable and fair price. Their customer service was also top notch. They were able to look at my car the same day and get the repair done in a timely manner. I've been driving the car around for a few days now and everything is acting normally. Overall, I had a great experience with Messer Auto.

My grand daughters Xterra has been blowing only cold air and with fall in full swing we couldn't let her freeze. We spoke with a young man named Joe who explained what he was going to look for, and when he diagnosed the issue he gave us a very thorough explanation of how he would address it. I can't express enough how much that level of transparency means to an older woman like me. Thank you Joe, from me and my grand daughter.

Hands down one of the best establishments one could go to. Clint and his team have been upfront and honest with everything and certainly not trying to get over on us. My wife is not the one to visit shops for auto repair, but I certainly feel safe sending her in to speak with Clint and his team knowing they will treat her with amazing service. Thank you, guys, for being so upstanding.

I had taken my car to the dealership while it was still under warranty. The work they claimed to have done wasnt done and had only temporarily fixed the problem. I had taken it to Messer and they had fixed it within a couple of days. Clint kept us informed and even showed us the problem. I will definitely be back for all my auto needs. They are down to earth and fair priced.

My aunt came in for an overheating issue on her Armada, Joe called me and let me know everything that was going on with the car, showed me what was replaced and gave me great customer service, great place to go for any automotive issues. Hands down the best place to go, if you do stop by ask for Clint or Joe, they will get you right!!!

Messer Auto did a fantastic job with my car. I had a bad situation with an engine from my previous purchase and they helped give me a much better cost to fix the truck compared to other quotes I got. They were very detailed and were clear with me upfront on everything. I will be going back if anything was to arise in the future.

Immediate attention to my situation and needed mechanical services taken care of in a surprisingly short time. Their concern for my needs was a great comfort. Very personable and explained everthing I needed to know. Thank you Clint and Nikki!
