I got a basic paint correction from them, for a very good price and now my black car is looking absolutely fantastic, very friendly service and very nice people!

Fast, friendly, and even better...Affordable! Michelle treats you like family. You never feel like you are being "sold". They take genuine care of my, my wife's, and both daughters' cars! Why go anywhere else?

The transmission in my 2013 V.W. Tiguan was slipping. After checking with several places, I found Pete's to be the quickest and best value. The crew is also very nice.

“Pete” Berard
Founder of Pete’s Otto Shop
Pete’s Otto Opened In 1981
Pete Berard moved to the Valdosta area when he was stationed at Moody Air Force base. After completing his service, Pete worked at a small independent Austin Healey dealership as a technician. In 1962, Pete and his best friend and fellow employee Ben Olliff struck out on their own and opened Imported Auto Center.
In 1981, Pete opened his own shop – Pete’s Otto. And the rest as they say, is history. The shop is still in its original location on East Ann Street. 1981 was also a special for Pete because it’s the year his son Tiger joined the team.
