We were on our way back home to Cincinnati (via the Hocking Hills) when we began to have car…read moreproblems (brakes) just north of Nelsonville. Our daughter, who was familiar with the Athens area (she graduated from Ohio U.) told me about Sundown Garage. We quickly got a hotel room ( it was Father's Day' so not much was open). I called and left a message (they didn't open until 9M on Monday) and I called again the next morning. I was able to get the car down to them and spoke with Danny and Will. Will drive me back to our hotel, stopping at a grocery store on the way back to our hotel so we would have some food. The next day he picked me up and drove me down to Athens to pick up my car. This is the kind of service you hope for in our country, but is so rare. I thought the cost of the repairs was more than reasonable. I have always liked Athens (I grew up in Youngstown, but moved 8 times with my jobs) and if I was beginning retirement I might consider moving here, but I am almost 78. Danny, Will and Angela, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

They're either lying to me or are trying to sell you a lemon…read more Steve, the owner, told me that my car needed the engine replaced since the head gasket had cracked and oil leaked to the engine. He gave me a quote of $3,000+ to replace the engine. However, he recommended that I junk the car. He said he'd give me $350 for it and would haul it to the junk yard. I agreed, thinking the car wasn't worth another few thousand dollars since I had already put in over $1,000 at his shop. That was a few months ago. Today I drove by and saw the same car for sale. I stopped in and asked him how much he wanted for it. He told me, "Whatever I can get." The point of the story is that this guy either lied to me or he's trying to sell a hunk of junk. Steve and his shop are not trustworthy. Avoid them.

We took my older family mini van to Athens Transmission because it was leaking Transmission fluid…read more They were able to take a look at it right away. Unfortunately they discovered that the front seal was damaged. He advised me that the rebuild of the transmission would be about $4000 , but based on age and mileage more than 250k he didn't recommend that. I really respected his honesty and advice. He could have tried to convince me to spend the money to fix it,but he didn't. That kind of honesty is rare in the auto repair business in my experience. He did give me some advice on how to keep the van running a bit longer and I appreciated that. I 100% would recommend this shop if you have transmission issues.

Everyone has taken one of those trips, just passing through, late in the evening and "bam" the car…read morebreaks down. It can almost ruin a great trip. We also have dinner plans 6 hours away that next day and if we can't get this fixed quickly the next day we are not going to make it. We had this exact scenario happen along US50. The car suddenly starts slowing down on its own, we limped off the highway onto a (what seemed) remote road and pulled into a parking lot. Instantly I'm checking Yelp for towing services and repair facilities. I found that we were just a short distance from Athens Transmission. They were closed, but I made sure my vehicle was there waiting for them first thing in the morning. Patrick contacted me first thing, just before they opened. He said they should be able to take a look at it today. He asked if I was just passing through, which I was. I had a nice lady that was willing to drive us to and from our BNB and I didn't want to put her out. About 11am that morning Patrick called to let me know it was all finished and ready to pick up. I was stunned! I was already looking for car rentals or a Uhaul to drive home. He explained it was just a radiator hose and they had one in stock and were able to get me on the road right away. We are so grateful! I know they were busy, but they were able to squeeze us in and get us back on the road. What a team! We even made our dinner arrangements :) When I received the follow up a couple days later to check that all was well, I was even more impressed. A great team, friendly people, impressive service, and professional follow up. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Athens Transmission and their amazing service!

The first and last place to go for commercial truck tires while in Athens county. They don't take…read moreappointments, so it's first come first serve. I've had to wait several hours on one occasion and didn't even get to shut the truck off before I pulled into the bay on another occasion. They carry an unbelievable amount of commercial trucks tires along with an equally unbelievable amount of heavy equipment tires. Can't say anything about normal car tires, light duty truck tires or ATV tires. I saw small lawn tires, ATV tires and the like being fixed and replaced when waiting. Basically it looks like they do it all when it comes to tires.

I took my truck to them and told them on the phone and in person I do not want a tool touching my…read moretruck i'll explain why in a min. I called and asked how much they charge to test drive and with their hands try to shake my steering gearbox and tell me if they feel that the gearbox may seem a little loose. They told me 35.00 is their look at fee without putting any tools on the truck. So I made the appointment to bring it in. On drop off they said so you want us to work on your front end and I said no remember your just test driving it and looking at the gearbox with your hands. (just a week before this our furnace went out and on the day I dropped the truck off we were putting in a new one thats why i just wanted the 35.00 test drive so if they felt the box was loose i could save to get a new one put it and still have the truck in the mean time to get to work) well they said come back later on this evening and leave the truck with us we'll call after we test drive it and you can come pick it up and we'll let you know what we think no tools will touch it. I get a call hours later saying we'll sir we had your truck on the lift working on the front end and we broke your control arm bolt inside the frame and you need to come down here. I get their and their acting like well who cares and they gave me a paper saying they want 650.00 to fix their mess up and tried to make me keep my truck there fighting me over getting my key back then they try and say well sir your front end is old to and needs parts. really?? because everything on the front end is new with only 4,000 miles on it. so they still made me pay them 35.00 for looking at it and breaking it doing what i told them not to. they messed the bracket up so bad and the control arm trying to get the bolt out that they had no right to touch that i had to baby my truck home with risk of really getting hurt. now the truck sits in our driveway unable to move and in bad shape when it was in good shape the day we dropped it off. ive missed work because of not having a ride. now I cant finish the furnace for my family to have proper heat because i'll have to tow the truck to a real shop to have their mess up fixed and as bad of damage as they did it wont be cheap!!!! but i have to have a truck to get to work for my family. And Lines treated this like a sick joke to them they were laughing. well lines my family isn't laughing!!!!!!!
