Atros Auto Repair

My family and I were in from out of town and were concerned about the family van, we had a 6 hour drive home. My husband just walked up and spoke with Jerry, without notice helped right away.
He asked very clear questions and did not try to up sell any repair services. Highly recommend!

every time i take my car somewhere else i regret it. jerry and his crew are honest and hard working mechanics. even if it’s out of the way for you, it’s WORTH IT. nuff said.

I have been there twice, 1^st for a gear box repair and 2^nd for a tuneup. I trust there workmanship and they behind it! George Atros was very curtious helpful.

We’ll I’m not going to said anything negative about them because they did a good job on my break the only problem was the price they charge me 700 for the front break alone and to me that is too expensive

Great service, great peeps. Jerry Atros and his team are superb. Went through my car (2004 RR) with a fine tooth comb, fixed problems and reasonably priced. Will be back!

Jerry saved my friend’s car!!!

Took it to this place based on the reviews, for a car inspection. I’m new to Brooklyn. The check engine light was on. They told me what the code on the check engine light was and how they can fix it. Great, the repair now costs about $ 400. Picked it up thought it was all fixed. Also, let me just mention that they parked my car on 4^th and I got side swiped with a giant scratch on my drivers side. Fantastic, «Ok» I said to myself, things happen. What I also thought was dodgy was that in all my invoices the odometer in number was wrong, the car was driven for a bit after the check engine line was reset. It has to, in order to pass the inspection.
I was assured that the light would not come on again. 2 Days later the light comes on again. I take it back, «oh it must be the gas cap». Wait, you charged me that much for something COMPLETELY different now you think its the gas cap?! He resets it, sends me on my way. The light is still on and I know I can probably get them to look at it again, but I can’t. I dislike incompetence. I rather try my luck elsewhere.

Jerry at Atros is not only a great mechanic, but he is just a good guy. I don’t give reviews too often but I am making a point to do so after having a great experience, and I want to spread the word so people know who to go to for auto repairs.
I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I have been taking it to a good mechanic in Greenpoint for a few years. He was recently stumped by the fact that my oil indicator light kept coming on after replacing the oil sensor. Well, after 3 trips to this guy and not having the problem solved, I finally took a shot at Atros. I talked to Jerry on the phone before coming in and he said he would look at it, which he did and we discussed the problem at length so he really took the time to find out all the details. He suggested that it might be because the part that was used was not a dealer made part, and we would start there. Well, sure enough it was as simple as that. He was extremely helpful and bright and I really regret not finding him sooner.
Prices seem on average to be fair, but not cheap. He knew that I was going on a cross country trip so he recommended a few extra items, like cleaning out the debris from the drain lines, changing the steering fluid, and polishing the headlights with a kit to make them clear again. I ended up paying about 400 bucks but I really trusted him and recommend him to anyone who has been looking for a straight up honest guy who knows what he is talking about. Thumbs up!

My last auto mechanic did a bad job for me on my Jeep. I make my living as a mechanic but I fix mulimillion dollar industrial machines, (see
) so I have very high standards when it comes to mechanics. I do not have time to fix my car, so I need a place that can fix it right.
Out of desperation I searched on Unilocal and saw that Atros Auto Repair had 12 stars. I decided to give them a try. The first time was in the summer of 2011 and they did a great job of replacing all the old hoses and other parts I needed to prepare my 2001 Jeep Cherokee for a very long trip that that I wanted to be trouble free.
Recently I brought my Jeep back to them again for more repairs and I was very pleased with the work. I even forgot that I left a large screen LCD TV in the back of the Jeep and it was there untouched when I got the vehicle back. Jerry Atros and his employees are honest and do quality work and Jerry stands behind the work his firm produces, and will fix it free until he gets it right. I highly recommend them for auto repairs.
Tell Jerry John U with the Jeep sent you.

I’ve been going here for a couple of years now with my Saab 95 and new Subaru. Very good mechanics. They know their stuff and they are as honest as it gets. I’m also someone who has done a lot of engine work on cars so I know what I’m looking for in a good mechanic. I’d give five stars but I’m a hard critic.

Even though it is far from me Mike from Atros is my mechanic of choice. He has worked on both of my cars, and was able to fix and explain things that other mechanics weren’t even close to solving. I have complete faith and trust that he can take care of any problem, and if he can’t he will definitely tell you. I’ve always received fair pricing, and honest answers from him and can easily recommend him to anyone.

Called one day, dropped my car off the next morning for a check engine light issue. Mike called me a few hours later to let me know what the issue was, what the cost would be (very affordable) and he also let me know of another unrelated issue — one he just advised me about but by no means demanded I take care of at the time.
Great service and knowledgeable — I also greatly appreciated the fact I wasn’t treated any differently because of my gender… meant a lot. :)

My 16-​year-​old, tough-​to-​work-​on Saab 900 Turbo Convertible has seen a few trips here now. I’ve never had a bad experience, nor have I ever felt like anything was neglected, overlooked or not taken seriously.
And I feel that I have been valued as a regular customer who has referred others.
I even sent the garage a Holiday Gift last year.

I took my car to Atros Auto repair after a friend recommended them and after seeing their reviews on Unilocal.As a single woman, frustrated with going to mechanics and feeling like they’re over pricing me and lying to me about what needs to be done, this is the first time I didn’t feel like I was being jerked. He told me what the problem was, gave me a price and the price didn’t change once my car was fixed and the price was reasonable. Any further problems with my 98 Altima, I will be going back.

My ’97 Toyota Avalon needed an oil change and an inspection. It had been running strange and the check engine light was on. I was also in the middle of moving to a new apartment… Car trouble combined with moving is my version of hell.
I called Atros based on its close location to my old apartment and its good reviews on Unilocal.They said I could drop my car off anytime and leave the key with a note in their mailbox (a luxury which another auto place reviewed on Unilocal would not afford me). They called me promptly at 9am the next morning saying they got my note and would check out my car that day.
It turns out i needed some new sensors in order to pass inspection — so I told them to take care of it. At about 4pm my car was ready to be picked up. They are conveniently located 2 blocks from the subway. The service was excellent, they were very professional, and I would go back in a second.

I came here based on the other great reviews on Unilocal.I paid them take a look at a car that I wanted to buy.
During the inspection, the owner mentioned that there were ocassionally problems with the starter. After the inspection, the mechanic said that he hadn’t noticed anything wrong with it, and that I would have to pay him more to look at it. Based on his assesment of the car, I bought it, and immediately found that the starter had engagement problems… like ½ the time.
I took the car to another mechanic, who diagnosed the problem for free. (the previous owner had installed the starter improperly). The mechanic said that had the problem gone further it could have damaged the flywheel.
It was a $ 300 repair, and had I known this, I may have negotiated a better price on the car, or I may have not even bought it.
Everyone else here seems to love this place, so maybe he was just having an off day, but I thought I should share my experience.

I’m updating this review on May 20^th, and dropping my review to a 1 star.
A friend of mine heard me start up the car, and he said that it sounded like I had a hole in the exhaust system. I had always noticed that the car sounded like it ran a little noisy. I took the car into another mechanic, and he said that I did indeed have a hole in the exhaust. and it needed immediate attention. It was another expensive repair.
So my friend diagnosed something by just *hearing* the sound of the car that these guys missed when I paid them to diagnose the car.
1 star for you.

My boyfriend’s Land Rover was having an ongoing issue with overheating, and after having two mechanics screw him over to the tune of about $ 700 combined, I took matters into my own hands and Unilocaled it. Seeing great reviews, I called this place and spoke to someone who said he could bring it in the next day, which he did shortly after 8AM.
He called later in the day to say he was going to try the thermostat, which was pretty cheap, and if that didnt work he’d call again and it would have to be the radiator (which is not cheap.) After hearing nothing, we called him the next day and he said the car was finished– he ran it for 2 hours with no overheating and the total for the thermostat was $ 80. My boyfriend picked it up and said he was really nice and seemed like a straight shooter, and for $ 80 including it being there overnight I’m impressed. I’ll be taking my mazda there when/​if I ever need work done!

My check engine light came on last week and I took my car to Atros after reading the reviews on Unilocal.I was able to drop my car off immediately (I called and dropped it off 25 mins later) and the car was ready the same day.
I know nothing about cars, so I always get nervous that the mechanic is going to rip me off, but I felt very confident with this shop. They didn’t treat me like an idiot or give me a creepy vibe (like many shops do because you’re female and feminine-​looking).
They just hooked the car up to the computer which gave them a code that meant it was likely just a fuel cap that needed to be replaced. So, they just charged me a small fee for replacing the fuel cap. They said if the light comes on again, then they’ll do more tests, but that they didn’t think that was necessary for now. So yeah, I feel like they won’t rip you off here and they’re very nice.
I’ll definitely go back here again … the other reviews on Unilocal are on par with the service I received.

A great, trustworthy mechanic. Of course, I can never afford to do everything to my car that needs to be done, so he broke down what I needed immediately and told me how much to save up for in the next 6 months to do the rest. Very helpful.
Quick service, able to do emissions testing, nice manager (who, frankly, in three visits, is the only person I’ve talked to there!), empathetic (hey, no one likes when they have to spend $ and time on their car and the BQE has claimed many a victim).
One warning: you need to drop your car off FIRST thing in the morning. If you get there even 15 minutes late (I think they open at 8, but check with them), their small garage might be filled and you’ll have to come back another day. I did this once, but since I live a few blocks away, he called me as soon as there was room in the garage (around 3 oclock) and I drove my car over then.
highly recommend them.

A good mechanic may be hard to find, but at Atros your search will come to an end.
I was initially tipped off to this shop by the helpful Car Talk website. I have had nothing but good experiences here. Mike is honest, hardworking, professional, and does his best to turn cars around as quickly as possible. He’s also one of those mechanics that does not treat «the second sex» as though it were a pesky gnat. The rates are reasonable, and I never once felt that I was being taken for a ride.
A first-​rate operation.
