They deploy very aggressive upsells to unsuspecting clients. If you take your car in to get the window wipers replaced, they will then tell you that your mufflers are bad and "have" to be replaced. If you do take your car up there, be sure to take someone that knows cars to advise you what is bullcrap. Always tell them to ONLY do what you originally asked them to do!!! read more

Safe and comfortable place with coffee and snacks while I waited. Always honest and friendly.

Great customer service. Never have I found a better repair shop. They take care of my wife's car and my van like we were family. I am very pleased they go the extra mile and check out everything, not just what I think is needed to be done. They have saved us a lot of money and future problems by being very thorough in all their work. All the office staff and mechanics are first class, and very friendly. I highly recommend them. Their prices are more than fair, considering the quality of their work, that's done in a timely manner, and comes with a big guarantee. read more

They did a tune-up and oil change on my VW eos great job and there locally owned and operated

After months of dread and embarrassment, I brought my wife's van in for a very annoying squeaky belt (the really expensive one). The service manager could not have been more pleasant to talk to and gave me the feeling that they would take care of me. An hour after dropping it off, he called with the first good news I think I have ever gotten from a repair facility of any kind. I didn't need the $300-$400 belt replacement that I was expecting. Just a little tweaking of my alternator pulley was required. Four minutes and $40 later, I was back on the road with a huge smile. It feels like I should run out and buy a lotto ticket because this just doesn't happen in real life these days. Well it does at Stop & Ride. Give them your business and forget the nightmares you've probably become accustomed to at some auto repair establishments! read more

I have been going to Stop & Ride for my car's oil changes for the past three years. The staff if very courteous and helpful. I've never had any issues and would recommend them highly!! read more

Stop and Ride is the absolute best auto care and repair shop I have found. I drive from East Athens just to use them because they are the best anywhere around. They are always prompt and friendly. They find the problems that need to be taken care of. They don't make up problems with your car to try and make extra money, like other auto repair shops I've been to in Athens. I highly recommend trying them out. It's worth the drive from Athens to get the honest and friendly treatment you deserve. Also, they are really good about informing you about anything with your vehicle in a way that even someone who knows nothing about cars can understand. Give Greg, the owner, a call and check them out! read more

These guys just do it right. They won't rip you off and I can always trust that my vehicle is in great hands. They also have complimentary soft drinks, coffee, and wifi while you wait. I have been a returning customer for years now and they never disappoint. read more

For about 8 years we have had excellent service at Stop and Ride. Always promptly returning calls and the convenience of leaving the vehicle after hours, for scheduled repair the next day. They have kept both vehicles running for over 250,000 miles each! They have stood behind their parts and repair warrenties and even show it to use when something was still in warrenty! They even fixed (without charge) the hood support on the truck that we just now noticed. We recommend them without hesitation! read more

These guys are the best. Honest and they do great work! They finally figured out what was wrong with my car after two other shops could not! Thanks a millio ! read more

Phillip has become my "go to" person when my vehicle needs servicing or other work. The entire staff is courteous and conscientious about providing the best service. Their prices are reasonable and rarely do I sit and wait. I've been told they provide drop off and pick up service. Not that I have had to use it, but it is nice to know. No more trekking to Athens or Buford, as I have found the best shop in town! read more

Anytime you walk in and they know your name and make you feel welcomed. It improves you comfort level that what they tell needs to be done is what needs to be done and that the repair will be completed to expectations. read more

I have taken both of my cars to Stop and Ride several times now and have nothing but totally impressed with their service and customer care. On my latest visit I needed new front tires but after looking at the ones I was replacing they showed me that my front end was out of line. After showing me a couple of options of how to best fix the problem so that my new tires would last as long as possible they were actually able to fix the problem easier than they originally thought saving me about $200 off the estimate that I was given. I will never take either of my cars anywhere else. read more

Stop and Ride is a great place for automobile service and repair. I have been taking our vehicles there for 3 years now for servicing. The guys at Stop and Ride are good about inspecting the whole vehicle with each service and point out problems that are discovered. I am very happy with my relationship with Stop and Ride! read more

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. read more

The level of care that we have received has been awesome. The guys are diligent about explaining what's needed and are very adept in their explanations. We rely on them solely for our auto repairs! read more
