About The Owner

Meet Zachary Creary: Your Local Auto Repair Expert at AAMCO Doraville

At AAMCO Doraville, we believe that honest auto repair starts with the person behind the wrench. For Zachary Creary, owner and lead technician, working on cars isn't just a job, it’s a lifelong passion rooted in a deep respect for how things work. Growing up just 20 minutes away in Gwinnett County, Zachary was raised under the influence of his father, an engineer. From a young age, he was entrenched in anything with a motor, a curiosity that eventually evolved into a professional career spanning over 15 years in the automotive industry.

A Foundation Built on Experience and Faith


Zachary’s journey in the automotive world has been an organic one. He spent decades learning the intricate details of vehicle diagnostics and repair, eventually refining his skills at a local AAMCO franchise starting in 2019. When the opportunity arose to take over an existing location from a retiring franchisee, Zachary took the leap. This transition allowed him to combine his technical expertise with his desire to serve his home community, and to take the big leap to change his family's trajectory.

As a follower of Christ, Zachary operates AAMCO Doraville with a clear mission: to be straightforward and honest with every person who walks through the door. He understands that auto repair can be a stressful experience, especially when customers aren't familiar with the technical side of their vehicles. Zachary views it as his duty to build trust through kind words and transparent actions, ensuring that every driver feels confident and respected.

Rooted in the Doraville Community


Zachary is a "simple guy" who values the opportunity that comes with a life dedicated to service. He still remembers his first car, a 2001 Ford Escape with 200,000 miles purchased for $400 in high school, and the sense of freedom it provided. Today, he finds that same fulfillment in helping his neighbors maintain their own independence on the road.

When he isn't at the shop performing complex repairs, like the memorable Hellcat motor swap into a 2007 Charger R/T, you can find Zachary spending time with his family, riding motorcycles, or enjoying a good meal. He remains an active member of the local community, attending Cornerstone Bible Church, and supporting his neighbors in Doraville.


Whether you are dealing with a minor maintenance need or a major transmission concern, Zachary and the team at AAMCO Doraville are here to provide the professional, trustworthy care your vehicle deserves.
