Engine repair service near Walnut Grove, GA

Kudos to Ed for excellent service! Lextech didn't handle the type of repair I needed but Ed was well versed in the nature of my issue and gave me an A+ referral that led me to saving a couple thousand dollars! The last thing I wanted to do was call the dealership and thanks to him I didn't have to. He was super patient, even providing me with the full address and number of the shop. You can best believe the next time I need anything for my Lexus, I'll be making an appt here! Looking forward to meeting Ed in person. D D. Atlanta, GA

Wife took our 2001 Hyundai Sonata up there to have new rotors put on, brakes put on and an oil change. Wife's grandmother asked why the car was RPM'ing up to 4000rpm and wanted the shop to look at it. They told her she needed a new throttle body(Said it had a 2002 throttle body in it and it wouldn't work with a 2001 so they needed to change it) they replaced her throttle body with one they most likely pulled out of a car at the junkyard. The "newer" throttle body they installed had paint marks the manufacturer marks on OEM parts(clearly it wasnt tested to see if everything works). Took the car home after 3 days it wasn't even a few minutes after 5:30 when we picked the car up from the shops lot, got in cranked it up and the engine was struggling to even stay cranked it was shaking very hard and was making a lot of noise. When put into gear the car shook to the point of making the mirrors and everything fall forward. We took the car home called the shop the next day and explained the situation. They told us to bring the car back up there and they would take another look and it would only take a hour and they would call us back. After several hours we received a call back and they said it was working fine now and they just adjusted the throttle cable. When we arrived they said they ran a test and now we needed new coils(yet we have never had this code before nor did we have a check engine light until the shop messed with our car). We left the shop because we didn't have the money and took the car to Autozone and had them reset the engine light and read the codes for us. Codes came back as we needed new coils and there was an evap leak. Guy at autozone quickly realized that the guys at Stop and Ride had kindly switched our spark plus wires around making the car misfire and that's why the car started reading a misfire and jerking after we took the car to stop and ride. We rode around and it seemed a little better and after the Check engine light came back on we returned to autozone and had them run another test, this time no Coil misfire (what a coincidence) and was just reading an evap leak now. We took the car home and I checked for leaks, still haven't found any. However, I removed the intake hose and looked into the throttle body stop and ride "replaced" for us and to my surprise the entire thing was covered in carbon build up (did they just pick this thing off the side of the road or something?) I cleaned it with some throttle body spray and a rag and connected everything back. To this day roughly 5 months after stop and ride put their hands on our car the car hasn't ran well enough to drive. Car jerks very hard still (almost to the point of causing the mirror to fall), the car drops below 500 rpm when it is put into gear, stutters to accelerate and when sitting at idle the car runs at the normal 750rpm but sputters and moves between 750-500 without your foot ever touching the pedal and the car makes a popping sound through the exhaust when you push the pas pedal sometimes. Needless to say, our car ran perfectly fine before stop and ride touched the car, now it's a yard ornament. We have called the shop and they claim innocence on everything and will not replace anything to have our car back in the shape it was before they touched it. We basically paid them 800$ to destroy our car. We will be contacting Clark Howard at Channel 2 WSB-TV if something isnt done to get our car back into the shape it was before. The guys at the shop try to play this off and act as if we are stupid or something and have no clue what has happened. UPDATE: When we called Hyundai to talk to a master Tech he said that the car would run perfectly fine with a 2002 Throttle Body, that there wasnt a reason it needed to be changed. So basically they just scammed my wife into thinking she needed one so they could make some money off of her, and then most likely slap her throttle body online and sell it used.

This is an excellent auto shop! I was most amazed at how knowledgeable and genuine the owner of the shop is. My driver side window wouldn’t close after I lowered it down on late Tuesday night. I contacted Wright’s Car Care the following morning and I drove to his shop. Ate breakfast and walked through some of the stores nearby (great marketplace nearby), and I couldn’t believe my car was finished! I had another auto shop that would have charged me 250 more and the service would have been subpar in comparison to Wright’s. If you’re trying to decide which auto shop to go to, Wright’s Car Care is my recommendation.

Excellent automotive shop. I work on my own vehicles and don't like mechanic shops. But when I have to use a mechanic I love Apollon. They are always honest and very fair. Several times they could have taken advantage of me or just charged me more to replace something instead of trying to repair it. Highly recommended John G. Marietta, GA

I saw the sign for a free brake inspection so I stopped in (they've been squeaking). The manager - Gerry, took the time to explain to me the differences for the various pads. He also showed me the pads that were on my car and the uneven wear indicating rotors. I decided to take care of everything - rotors and pads. So grateful to have a trustworthy mechanic. Thank you!!!

I read the tribe ratings after hearing several advertisements on KPOJ, and decided that I would go to Vincent, for an inspection and an oil change. What I left the shop with was much more — a spooky encounter with a service manager, who recommended that I not go on long trips, unless I pay more than $2500 for additional repairs, and an $800 whole in my wallet. I was seduced by Vincent website and progressive radio message. When I arrived I was awestruck by all the technical certifications and employee photos on the wall. The place looked humble, and the people were very friendly at 7 am. I dropped the car off and took the shuttle back to work, without incident. A few hours later I get a message to call them, the inspection had been completed. Turns out that my suspension is totally shit struck, I had a bald tire, and I needed a break job, because a caliper is broken and dragging. Now I’m no mechanic, heck, I couldn’t pick a break caliper out of a lineup, but that sounded pretty serious, so I had them fix it. I was then told they had the parts in stock and I could get it done by the end of the day, they would call me. At this time I was also “sold up” on additional services like a break system flush, a cleaning and adjustment on the rear brakes, and a transmission fluid change. My $99.50 inspection and $37.22 oil change had skyrocketed up to $800! They called me two hours before closing, and then told me that something wasn’t fitting right and that they would have to keep the car over night. I was upset, but what could I do? I got dropped off by my girlfriend, to pick up the car, and told her I that I would pay and be meet her at a local pub in a couple of minutes. It seems that I underestimated their respect for a customer’s time when I told my girlfriend to go on ahead of me and order me a beer, because I, with credit card in hand, could not simply pay and leave without a lecture in vehicle safety, and a hard sell on the urgency of restoring my entire suspension system to original factory specs (I have a lowered ride), FOR OVER $2000!

Proudly serving the Buckhead and Lindbergh communities of Atlanta in automotive service, repair, and maintenance.

Tim was awesome and made life SO much better. Plus he was honest and upfront about costs and what was needed. I liked them so much, I'm bringing my car back down from Maryland to Georgia to have them look at other things this month. :)
