01/03/24I have been using Olja for a few years now, and he's never let's me down. Recently, he caught an absolutely dangerous situation on my new used car. I purchased a 2009 Lexus ES350, and out of pure convenience, I used a mechanic that I previously used (before I met Olja) for the pre-purchase inspection. Boy, was that a mistake! Somehow, he managed to overlook (not sure how) a very dangerous issue with some serious rust that had compromised the struts.I will never allow another mechanic to look at my car! I can not express how grateful I am! I highly recommend Olja at International Autuhous for all your auto repair or maintenance needs.From the bottom of my heart,THANK YOU, Olja!!!Evidently, Google only allows one review per person. This is the second time I've felt compelled to let people know what an amazing mechanic and just can't say enough about this business!I can not say enough about my mechanic Olja...I drive for lyft full-time and use my vehicle to make a living. Having a mechanic that you can trust is extremely important!!!! I feel so blessed that I found him. Not only is he professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, but he's trustworthy!! Good luck finding that in this day and age. I highly recommend International Autuhous for all your car/truck maintenance and repairs.

I have been coming to Olja for years, and he continues to be straightforward, honest, and reliable. He even tries to figure out if there is a way I can get repairs cheaper than what he can do, for example, he asked me to check my warranty before he did repairs just in case it was covered. If a car isn t worth fixing he will tell you rather then charge you a bunch of money just to have the problem reoccur.I recently took my Jeep to another shop because it s right next to my house. They quoted me $1600 minimum for a clutch replacement and 2 weeks til it would be done. I had the Jeep towed to Olja and he did the repairs for under $1200 and had it ready the very next day. Olja is the type of person who will give you advice even if it doesn t benefit him. He is truly a good person and mechanic and I m so glad that I found him!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Best mechanic in all of Atlanta. The owner, Olja grew up studying electrical engineering in his home country and has a lifetime experience with troubleshooting mechanical issues on all german cars. He never ceases to amaze me. He s fixed every electrical issue my Audi had under 30 minutes. I ve gone to him for every single issue I had with all my cars. He s honest & transparent about his prices & the necessary repairs. He s not like a lot of other mechanics that lie to you about an issue to get a more money out of you. When I had a coolant leak in my BMW, he replaced the hose with a metal tube and clamped it tight within 15 minutes and only charged me only 50$ for the labor! I was honestly shocked. He does not lie about the amount of time a job takes to charge more for labor like a lot of mechanics do. Him and his wife (who is the service advisor) are very friendly and kind. They make you feel at home as soon as you walk into their shop. I would NEVER recommend going ANYWHERE ELSE for any issue/routinely maintenance on your vehicle. If you want your car treated with care and diligence, I d advise you go to him. Friendly, quick service, great attitude, and honesty is what you will get at International Autohouse.Services: Transmission, Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Transmission repair, Brakes, Oil change

The quality of work here is amazing and affordable. I only trust Olja with my cars when it comes to servicing, repairs, installations, and evaluations. I recommend everyone I know to see him with any car needs and even before they buy a car to go talk to him about car value and evaluations. He has a wealth of knowledge through extended experience. So very thankful to know this genius, his work/advice is priceless yet always fair and affordable.Services: Tires, Air conditioning, Brake service & repair, Oil change

I was referred to this place by a friend to get my car fixed and it was one of the best decisions I ve ever made. Olja it s such a nice man he took his time with me and explain everything in detail what was wrong with my car and what he was going to do to fix it. I had problems with my car twice and every time he has given me extremely reasonable rates. I won t take my car to anyone else thank you olja for having great customer service and actually caring for your customers.

Absolutely the best. Was told by a chain that my brakes were almost completely worn and I needed to replace them; came to Olja and he said it was BS, they were nearly perfect and then recommended someone more honest to go to. Best and most honest mechanic I ve met.

Olja is the best mechanic I know of in the Atlanta area. He is very fair and honest, and really knows cars. I trust all of my cars to his care and have referred him to several friends and co-workers. I strongly recommend International Autohouse. A+++

I've had Olja work on my Audi A4 a few times, and each time, my car has come back near perfect!International Autohouse has become my go-to repair shop when my car needs some work.They're all very nice, professional and time efficient!

Great and honest service, very knowledgeable. Have dealt with them several times with various makes of automobile. Highly recommend them to anyone.Update October 2018After using MI for some six years, I just ca not say enough positive things about this business and the owners. I continue to have my Subaru and Infinity serviced here because I know the job will be well done at a fair price. Recently I had the timing belt changed on the Subaru, since mileage made it prudent to do so as PM. The job was professional and I might say I have more confidence in MI than in a dealer. I just completed a 7500 mile cross country trip, with the car performing perfectly.If you are in the market for great service of virtually any type this is the the place.

Olya was super helpful and was able to diagnose the traction control issues on my BMW Z3 right away. He was also able to determine existing issues on the car. I highly recommend this shop. Very honest work.

I m so happy that my friend referred me to Olja. It is so refreshing to have a mechanic who is honest, genuine, fast and fair. When I first brought my Volvo to Olja a year ago he didn t charge me a dime to do a diagnostic check and then he told me that the Volvo wasn t worth fixing. Another mechanic would have charged me to diagnose it and then would have tried to charge me an arm and a leg to fix it but Olja was honest that it was a repair that would cost more than the car was worth. My boyfriend later chose to pay a bunch of money at a different place to get the Volvo fixed and it broke down shortly after and was a waste of time and money. I was so glad I had listened to Olja!After that I got a Jeep and Olja has been so helpful with keeping it running well. He is fast and efficient and always completely transparent with the cost. When my Jeep broke down Olja was quick to answer me even though it was after business hours. I felt so much better about the break down knowing that I could get it towed to someone who I trust. When I went in to pick up the Jeep which took Olja less than 2 days to complete, he noticed that I was struggling to find the right amount of cash and he asked me if I wanted to pay some of it now and some later. I was baffled. I ve never had a mechanic allow that much less suggest it. He didn t even give me an exact due date, just asked that I honor my word to pay the rest. What a kind man. I will always go here for my car issues!!

Olja is a superior mechanic and you can tell that he really loves cars, and loves working on them. He repaired several things on my vehicle very quickly and efficiently. When I drove away, I could feel my car running better. He educated me on what the problems were (previous mechanic had given me the wrong gas cap for my model car, my radiator had a leak, and my brake pads needed to be replaced). He showed me the parts after they were removed. Thank you so much. These guys just earned a lifetime customer. This is not just some run of the mill, run you around kind of place. Olja is a true car doctor.

I've been taking my car to International Auto House since it opened and have always felt very comfortable with the honesty and work ethic of the owner. His qualifications are unquestionable and he can fix anything (If it's feasible to fix), and if not, he will tell you it's not worth fixing. He isn't going to waste your money or his time like some places may do. That is the kind of honesty and integrity you only hope you find in an auto mechanic. I won't take my cars anywhere else!

Olya is an amazing man and mechanic. Took amazing care of 2 cars on a Saturday afternoon in under an hour. Quoted $400 for fix by dealership that Olya fixed for under $75. Best place to car your car by far. This guy knows his stuff.

Olija is the best mechanic we found in Atlanta. He is very honest, and he won t push you to get repairs which are not necessary. I highly recommend this auto repair shop. The auto dealers try to sell you repairs not necessary, this auto shop is very honest with you.

Olja has worked on all of my family's cars for years, and has done a great job every time. He is honest, professional, and all around, an incredible mechanic. He is very knowledgeable and I recommend him to anyone!

Olja has been taking care my 05 BMW Z4, 01 BMW X5 4.4i and two Honda's. 100% quality on everything he has done for all my cars. I highly recommend his services to anyone with any domestic or imported vehicles.

It doesn't matter if you need an oil change, brakes or a complex job on your car, Ola is the man to fix your car. He is honest, because you can't be a little honest or very honest, you're either honest or not... he knows everything about cars, and if he doesn't know, he'll figure it out, he likes challenges. He will NOT try to sell you a job or parts that you don't need on your car. I also like the thing that this is a family business, he is in the shop, and his wife is in the office...I highly recommend this place.

I was referred to this place by a friend of mine. I couldn't have received a better referral. Olja is a very knowledgeable auto specialist. Honest,professional and extremely reasonable rates. You can trust this man with your car needs. Any negative reviews on this website are totally unbelievable. You can trust Olja will do you right!!

I was referred to him by the NAPA store in the same strip of shops , where I went to buy an oil plug for my BMW X5, the dealer quoted me $2300 , he fixed it for $40. Now he fixes my sons Camry, and my wife's Mini Cooper. I find him to be proficient, honest and upfront about cost. I refer him to all my friends and colleagues. He once found a part in my son's car (wheel bearing) had failed, a part he had replaced earlier, he brought it to my attention and fixed it under warranty. Two professions I don't trust, dentists and car mechanics, well Olja changed my opinion about the latter.

We'd had the van to the dealer multiple times this year with odd rubbing sounds in the front and a steadily worsening ride. The dealer gave us a scary story and an unbelievable quote ($1,500) to replace the lower front control arm bushings. We came here for a second opinion.Ola put the car on the lift, showed me what was really wrong (bushings were fine, tires were shot), gave me a referral (and a ride) to a tires place (National Tire & Battery - they deserve some stars, too), and had me back on the road with a smooth, quiet ride the same day.Fast, honest expertise.

I got my brakes and oil change done here about a year ago and I absolutely love the professional approach and execution on his auto maintenance services and I have only returned once to get an oil change and that's what made me decide he will be my only mechanic choice. Very nice and kind and professional and understanding how to treat customers overall well done

In a business where it is easy to come across less than honest dealers and mechanics... This place is different.Olja and Sandra treated me extremely fairly. Everything was explained, each step of the way.If I could, I'd give 6 stars. Highly recommend!Completely confident in my recommendation. Will do business with again.

Love this shop for all my car's needs. Everyone in the shop from office to mechanics in the back is friendly, courteous and easy to talk to. They discuss the problems found, always give me additional options ( if any available) and I make decision without feeling pressured. I had a problem that repeated 3 times in less then a year, leaving me stranded on the road. After thousands of dollars and losing a trust in my car again, the 4th ( and I swore the last) time I brought it to this shop which was recommended by a friend. It is 8 months now that my car did not have the same issue- and I learned to trust my car again. For less time and half the price they not only restored the trust in my car but also in mechanics again. I am now not worried, for I know I have found real doctor for my car.

Olja is AWESOME!!! He worked on both of my Bimmers, and saved me trips to the BMW Dealership for maintenance and parts...you get BMW Dealership service, but pay only one-third of the cost. This place is the best.

Having worked in the automotive industry for years, I can tell you, you will not find a more honest or trustworthy mechanic/business owner. Ola has been taking care of my cars for 14. Ola has something that is very difficult to find now a days. Integrity.

Olja is, by far, my favorite mechanic ever. He's warm and friendly and knows European cars like nobody else. He stands behind his work and at a price you can't beat anywhere. Highly recommended.
