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.

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.

"Pay your f**king money and get the f**k out" - The owner…read more 1st time ever leaving a review in my life. The owner cussed me out inside his store after accusing me of doing something I didn't do. Details below: Went in because my car was towed because I left a parking pass in my center storage area by my cup holders (partially visible) and forgot to hang it from my rear view mirror. When I showed up to pick my car up, I did a full walk around inspection to make sure my car wasn't damaged, then looked in both front windows to see if my parking pass was partially visible, which it was. When I entered the store I asked about the parking pass being partially visible and I was cut off by the owner and was accused of going in my car and moving the pass, which I didn't do. I said, you are lying, I just walked around my vehicle to make sure it wasn't damaged and looked in my windows to see if my parking pass was partially visible (which it was). He then cut me off and yelled "I'm the owner, I'm not a f**king liar, pay your f**king money and get the f**k out". Was shocked by the terrible service and major disrespect from the owner. I never raised my voice or said anything disrespectful to him or his employees originally or in response. I wish I would have recorded the interaction. Figured I should post my experience with the owner of curtis auto repair and towing so others can make educated decisions when looking for car services in the Athens area.

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.

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.
