Apollon Auto Service

A pleasant surprise at Apollon Auto Repair, no it was a miracle. I went in with what I thought was a big problem with my Mazda. The up-​shot is it was fixed and I was on my way home in 30 minutes. This was the first miracle. The second miracle is the repair cost $ 20. How can this be possible in 2015, no way! Put your car in the hands of the Greeks, ask for Mr. Tassos and tell him ‘Mr. Bill’ sent you. Ask for another miracle.

Very happy with the service here! Firestone told me I needed a new oil pan and was going to charge me $ 500. Ouch! Went to Apollon instead, left my car overnight (they seemed to be very busy), and drove away the next day in my car (no longer leaking oil) after only paying $ 165 total! Awesome! It’s been a few days now, and my car seems to be doing well. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks, Apollon!

I first encountered Apollon in 1983. I needed a major engine repair and basically picked them because their original location on Clairmont was near my residence. I have used them exclusively for my automotive service ever since.
That first experience and every other one over the past three decades have been characterized by the honesty, concern, competence, and affordability consistently delivered by the shop. The few times there was an issue it was resolved expeditiously at no additional expense accompanied by a sincere apology.
I have referred dozens of friends, family members, and associates to Apollon over the years. The feedback from these folks was unanimously positive except for one dissenter who I think was uncomfortable with a very slight language barrier. My parents traveled a hundred plus miles each way for over a decade to have Apollon handle any service beyond oil changes.
You do not have to worry about being up-​sold on unneeded repairs. It is much more likely that you will be dissuaded from having unnecessary work done.
Allow me to state this simply and directly. These guys are honest, reliable, and inexpensive. How often do you hear that about a mechanic or any service provider for that matter?
George and Tassos are the best!

Everyone at apollon is friendly and helpful. They are very knowledgable about cars and always provide quality work. They have always been honest and affordable, I’ve been a loyal customer for the past 5 years and wouldn’t take my cars anywhere else!

When I moved to the area I heard Apollon was a good mechanic shop to use and I was thrilled being it was so close. I took my car because it was making a weird noise in the back. They told me it was one thing then when I called to see if it was ready (which I asked them to call me before any work was done and they did not) they said it was my back breaks which I knew it was not. I picked up my car, backed up and it was still making the same noise. I took it back and they replaced the wheel bearings, the noise was still there. I took it back again and they just sprayed my brakes with an oil and said it was my brakes. It is still making the same noise a year later. I gave them the benefit of the doubt so I took it back when it was overheating. They replaced a hose. A couple months later it was overheating again and they replaced «a different» hose. Then one week later I was driving down the interstate and it started overheating. When I opened the hood it was the exact same spot that was leaking one week before. I had to have it replaced in Brunswick, GA. When I got back from my trip, I went back up to get a refund and they claimed they did not replace that hose. It was the exact same spot, exact same hose but the receipt listed it as a heater hose which is the one they claimed they did the first time, not the most recent time. They would not refund me the money. I gave them the benefit of the doubt one too many times. And I have been told by another person that they too had to take their car back multiple times for the same issue. I will not take my car there again! Beware!

I’ve brought my cars into Appolon many times. They always quote hundreds of dollars less than other places. I’ve never had any problems with the work that they’ve done.

I’ve been taking my car up there for years and dealt with George and Tassos. Great Mechanic’s no problems. There always honest and fair. Every other place I used to take my car to try to sell me on things that I did not need. These guys will sell you only what you need and nothing more. Great place!

I had a customer with a chevy cavalier that took her car to Apollon because my shop only works on imports and she had a radiator fan not working which I had diagnosed for her. They replaced the fan and told her the new fan was not working because the a/​c was bad and needed to be diagnosed and repaired at the tone of $ 900.
She brought it back to me and I looked at the repair they had done and found they had disconnected the high pressure switch and were going to charge her for repairs the car did not even need.
Shame on then for ripping people off, shame on them for giving us mechanics a bad name.
You have a Japanese import and want it fixed right the first time at a fair price, bring it to me at 4 044 252 126.

The bad reviews listed here at Unilocal I think are a bit off, as I’ve been taking my 3 vehicles to George and Tassos for more than 5 years and never, ever have I had a problem with getting at repairs completed economically and correctly the first time.
I have had brake work, transmission, cooling, AC, general maintenence and have always been satidfied with the quality of the work done. I know they’re not the fancy shops like you’ll find in Buckhead (Jaguar, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes) but then again they don’t have the outrageous pricing either. George and Tassos are fair in their labor rates and they do use good quality parts that in many cases are directly from manufacturer like Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes, etc.
Now to their defense, they use to own 2 locations of the same name. The main location on Shallowford Road and I85 and a second location off of Peachtree Industrial, just south of I285. However the Peachtree Industrial location is no longer owned or managed by them.
Now you may wonder why I did not give them 5 stars? Well I don’t think that any place is perfect, there is always room to improve, that goes for restaurants, hotels, and auto care centers. You can’t go wrong with this place.

Upfront. .no BS pricing. Yeah they are not fluent in English… so what. Just stay on top of your repairs and they will get the job done.

At first, i bought into the reviews on kudzu and thought that they were honest and good. I took my car to them first to get my brake pads replaced. But I later took my car to another mechanic cause I kept hearing screeching sounds everytime i pressed on my breaks. He is a good friend of ours and has been a mechanic for 25 years. He told me that the brakes were not installed properly and also they used very cheap break pads even though i paid around 300 to get front brakes replaced. I am very disappointed since i heard such good things before but i have learned my lesson and will never give them any of my business again.

I give good props to this place. I was worried because their lot was packed when I got there, but they were able to repair my brakes very quickly and I felt it was a very fair price. They did not mess around and got it done quickly and efficiently and that is really all I can ask!

I had the unfortunate need for a towing company last weekend and called these guys at 6pm on a Saturday. They were reasonably priced ($ 65 hookup fee + $ 2/​mile) and somewhat prompt (time crawls when you’re waiting by the side of a highway). Jim, the guy they sent me, was friendly, helpful, and careful with my car, which I appreciated.
No complaints!

Absolutely the best mechanics in town. My family and I have been using them as long as I’ve been driving (so, 8 years now), and they have always been honest, trustworthy, and a great value. These guys have been in the car repair business for years, and, trust me, they will find out what’s wrong with the car and fix it quickly and cheaply. Especially as a female, it’s hard to find a mechanic who you can depend on and trust not to rip you off. Well, ladies, look no more!

Listen to Laura S. even though she’s an orange head! This place is beyond terrible customer service. The only plus is that they are open on Sunday. but that is about it! Came by for a quote on my broken right blicker light, and they were nice, said to call Monday and they’ll order it for much cheaper then at the Dealer Ship, quoted me for 30.00 for headlights and 20.00 for labor, ok fair deal, I was stoked. So I call Monday and they guy who helped me Sunday was not in, so the person who answered said try Tuesday. I call Tuesday, guy is still not in, and I asked well can you please order the parts so I can get it done? The guy on the other line literally said nah, i’d rather you call back when he’s in so he can help you. WTF! Not that hard to order freaking parts. and set me up for a damn appointment. Losers. bad customer service. from the get go!
DO NOT GO HERE! If you have a Toyota or a Lexus I highly Recommend Toyotechs. read my review!

I took my Audi here when my alternator broke at a very financially inconvenient time for me. These guys are great! I normally would not even review a car repair place, but these are genuinely good people and they deserve the best of luck with their business.
Generally, Audi repairs are very pricey. I called around several places to get a feel for the price to replace an alternator for my car (as well as replace my $ 100 battery which the alternator took with it when it died), and not only did Apollon have the lowest price ($ 425), but they were such warm, happy people. Then, of course, AAA dropped off my Audi at the wrong Apollon location. Apollon had someone tow my car, free of charge, from that location to the Shallowford one.
The best part is, when I came to pick up my car, I gave the owner four one-​hundred dollar bills, and a fifty expecting $ 25 back (since my total was $ 425). He smiled and handed me my $ 50 back, knocking my price down to $ 400 just to be nice. He knew I could use any break I could get (I wrote on the key tag – Please fix my alternator for the lowest price possible, Thank you *smiley face*) and he even popped my front bumper back into place free of charge, since I have a bad habit of pulling into parking spaces too far.
This is my favorite car repair place in Atlanta, and I have tried quite a few! I strongly suggest you go here if you want an honest and reliable mechanic for any kind of vehicle.

We take all our cars (BMWs, Toyotas, and a Saab) to Apollon. Tazos, Elias, and George (the owners) are the best! They tell you straight up what’s wrong and don’t fix things that aren’t broken. We trust these guys completely and recommended them to all our friends many who also go there regularly for service.
