Lug Nutz Automotive · Cartersville, Georgia

Where the daily driver and the hot rod share the same lift

Local, family owned, and more than 20 years of experience at 401A Old Mill Road. Brakes, AC, tires, electrical and engine work on every make and model, in the same bays that build street rods.

Hot rods are the heart of the business

The custom bay is not a side business

Planning an LS swap? That conversion, the GM computer programming and the tuning that has to follow it all happen here, on the same floor as the oil changes. Custom wiring, suspension and performance upgrades, aftermarket installs, nitrous purge kits, flame throwers. Bring the project and speak to Matt about it.

  • LS engine swaps
  • GM programming and tuning
  • Custom and repair wiring
  • Suspension and performance
  • Hot rods and street rods
  • Aftermarket installation

What comes through the door

Every make, every model, and the ones nobody else will touch

A basic checkup or a complete engine overhaul, and most of what sits between the two. We will also work with your insurance company for your convenience, and we return calls and emails by the next business day.

The entrance to Lug Nutz Automotive at 401-A Old Mill Road, showing the door decal with the wordmark, phone number and business hours, and the 24/7 key drop box mounted on the brick beside it

Proof, at 401A Old Mill Road

Everything you need to know is written on the door

No stock photograph of a building. This is the entrance, and it answers the questions people ring up to ask.

The unit number, not just the street
Old Mill Road runs past several units. Ours is 401-A, and the number is on the glass above the door so you are not circling the lot.
404.372.5069, on the door and answered
The same number on the decal is the one that reaches the shop. Calls and emails are returned by the next business day, usually sooner.
Monday to Thursday, 8:00 to 6:00
Friday closes at noon, and the shop is closed Saturday and Sunday. Lunch is 11:30 to 12:45 every day, which is posted right here.
Ring it if the door is locked
During business hours a locked door means somebody is under a vehicle, not that the shop is shut. The sign says to ring, so ring.
24/7 vehicle key and fob drop
Leave the vehicle and drop the key any hour of any day. It is the reason a work schedule does not have to decide when your brakes get fixed.

How a job runs

You get told what it needs before anybody picks up a tool

Drop it or bring it

Bring the vehicle in during hours, or use the drop box and leave the key any time. If it will not move, ask about the 24 hour towing when you call.

We find out what is wrong

Computer diagnostics and a proper look before any parts get ordered. The diagnostic is free when we do the repair, so the first step does not cost you a guess.

You hear the options first

Matt talks you through what it needs, what it will take and what the choices are on parts. Nothing gets done to the vehicle until you have said yes to it.

Before you call

The questions people actually ask

Hours, drop off, warranty and turnaround. If yours is not here, call (404) 372-5069 and ask.

Owner and primary mechanic, Matt has proven to be very knowledgeable and understanding as to my need for Quality, honest and reliable automotive services. Would feel confident in recommending this business for auto and light truck maintenance and repair.

Both, in the same building. Hot rods are the heart of the business: LS engine swaps, GM computer programming and tuning, custom wiring, suspension and performance upgrades, aftermarket installs. The same bays handle brakes, AC, tires and oil changes on ordinary daily drivers. Ask for Matt about a project.

Most electrical repairs are completed within 24 hours. That covers rewiring, power windows, power seats, power doors, cruise control, circuit repairs and computer diagnostics. We also provide 24-hour towing.

Tell us the vehicle and what it is doing

Daily driver, work truck or a project that has been sitting for a decade. Call the shop, or leave it in the drop box tonight and tell us about it in the morning.
