When you get To Athens you can't miss the place. ( the town is 2 blocks long) There are cars parked every which way to fit into their lot and there is usually someone outside smoking a cigarette. If your looking to have a nice sit down in a waiting area, Perhaps a cup of coffee , the daily talk show on the TV or perhaps CNN this place isn't for you. There are usually quite a Few gentlemen hanging around the "waiting area" and they will usually offer you a chair , and you reading choice is a phone book, From 1999. If you are lucky the radio may even be on! All this, in my opinion, adds to the place ;) We usually just drop or cars off for repairs and the few times I have waited I had several children with me so we hung Out in a church parking lot across the street which was probably better than sitting even in the nicest waiting room. Talk to Charlie, who runs the place and is a nice, honest mechanic.

They were very helpful and went out of their way to make the experience painless. Not only did they drive to another location to get us a replacement for the faulty tire, but they also got us two new used tires, and replaced the back two tires to make sure we were safe for our trip back. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat! They already had great prices, and on top of that, gave us a veteran discount, AND were professional and friendly AND quick - an overall great experience!

Bring your car here for tires. That's it. Nothing more. Let me take you on a journey through our…read moreday. So my mother and myself came here for 2 vehicles, each had worn threads, and we needed to have them replaced. Ish had no issues opening the shop after he closed early (I guess for no business), and had apparently come all the way from Lexington. Props to him. The tires were replaced, no big deal there, pretty standard, and the car was actually driving better than before, so perfect. I believe even came time to balance the tires. My moms process had the same treatment. Then the chaos begins. Ish steps out of his boundaries to say "your wheel bearing is shot, we need to replace it." I knew, as my girlfriends father looked at my car. He was able to shake the wheel a little and told me the same thing. Something in me told me that Ish was not the guy for this, but where he charged 90$ for labor and the parts were to be found elsewhere, I had to buy into it. So we took the deal and proceeded forward. Pretty fire. Few days past, our parts are in, and Ish even extends the hand to say "hey, we'll put new lugs and studs on your car, you're missing some." My dude, that's so fire, let's do it. So not Ish, but a "mechanic" of his worked on my car, all seemed well until after the repair. Where the ABS was throwing an error on the dashboard, I felt extremely upset. Immediately, and with my lack of mechanical experience as I've only taken an auto class in high school, go eagles, I knew the ABS was probably disconnected, but I follow a great "you break it, you fix it." Which, in this beautiful example, I did not. So Ish knew he messed me up and referred me over to a friend in Lexington. Luckily, I was in the area and the buddy he referred me to was close by. His buddy found that the ABS was in fact disconnected and simply reconnected it. I also found that the original issue was the front motor mount that was making the sound that the wheel bearing was supposed to fix, but I wanted to ignore it, and think it was something less. But oh well! But the fun doesn't stop there, boys. My mom owns a Subaru, the one to be the safest in the market. After finding the ABS was throwing errors, I warned her not to get her brakes replaced by Ish, but she continues anyways. Momma knows best? (Love you mom, don't hurt me.) but then guess.. what? The "safest vehicle on the market" no longer has my mom feeling so safe because the car now shakes at 75 mph! Cool right? Unfortunately not because again, she doesn't feel safe, so again, Come for tires! Leave for service. :) Update: So Ish, such a kind gentleman. Offered to refund me my money to remove the Yelp review! Isn't that great? I think it's also called a bribe, so I'm glad to know a local business owner is willing to take shortcuts to make his business look good. Also your photos aren't real. If you need help taking pictures of your shop, I'll be more than happy to take photos for you. My iPhone X has a great camera, I hear.
