Prompt good service. In and out with no problem

Thomson, GA · Since 1977
The Thomson shop is the newest member of the C&C Automotive family. We opened our doors on Washington Road in 2024, bringing a name Augusta-area drivers have trusted since 1977 to McDuffie County. Newest shop, same family-owned way of doing business.
Around the Shop



Because Thomson sits right on the I-20 corridor, this shop serves two kinds of drivers: the folks who live and work here, and the travelers passing through between Atlanta and Augusta when something under the hood picks the worst possible moment to act up. Either way, you get straight answers and careful work.
C&C Automotive started as a small Augusta garage in 1977 and grew one shop at a time into a six-location, family-owned operation. Thomson is the latest chapter, and opening here was the same thing it has always been: enough drivers in the area asking us to be closer.
Being the newest shop comes with real advantages. The Thomson location was set up from day one with current diagnostic equipment and the service standards the rest of the family took decades to refine. You get our newest shop backed by nearly fifty years of accumulated know-how.
Summer on I-20 means loaded-down cars, long miles, and Georgia heat that pushes an A/C system and a cooling system to their limits. Overheating on the side of the interstate is the classic summer breakdown, and it almost always gives you warning signs first.
Now is a smart time to get ahead of it. Have us check the A/C and top off the refrigerant so the cabin stays cool, flush old coolant that has lost its protection, and top off the fluids that keep everything running in the heat. Whether you are a Thomson local heading out on vacation or a traveler who just pulled off I-20, a quick summer once-over beats a tow truck every time.
From a summer A/C recharge to a full pre-trip inspection, our ASE-certified technicians work on all makes and models: Ford, Chevrolet, Ram, and GMC pickups, Jeep and Dodge SUVs, Toyota, Honda, and Kia commuters, and whatever else pulls off the interstate, domestic or import. These are the jobs that keep Thomson drivers and I-20 travelers moving:
If trouble hits mid-trip on I-20, a warning light that will not quit, a noise that was not there at the last gas stop, or a temperature gauge creeping up, Thomson is an easy place to pull off and we are an easy shop to find. We diagnose the problem honestly, tell you whether it is safe to keep driving, and get you back on the interstate as quickly as good work allows.
Travelers are at a disadvantage in an unfamiliar shop, and we know it. Our reputation was built over decades of repeat customers, and we treat a driver we may never see again with the same honesty as a neighbor who has been coming to C&C for twenty years.
Most repairs at our Thomson shop are backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty, and the Thomson shop stands behind the work it does. If you are a traveler who will be hundreds of miles away next week, you are still covered, because outside our area that warranty continues through the Certified Auto Repair Nationwide Warranty network.
That matters whether you live on the other side of the state line or just drove in from it. A repair from C&C in Thomson does not stop being our responsibility when you leave McDuffie County.
For the folks who call the Thomson area home, this shop is built to be your everyday choice. Routine maintenance, seasonal checkups, and the bigger repairs you want done right the first time, all close to home in McDuffie County.
Being part of a six-shop family means the Thomson team is never on an island. Training, specialty equipment, and forty-plus years of collective experience across the C&C locations stand behind every repair we take on here.
If you are local, book your next service online or stop by the shop on Washington Road. We would rather catch a small problem at an oil change than a big one on the shoulder of I-20.
And if you are reading this from a rest stop, call us. We will tell you honestly what we can do and how fast we can do it, and we will do our best to turn a bad travel day into a short detour.
