Here at Quantum Mechanics we put an emphasis on being prompt, friendly, and professional.
Our goal is to provide world-class service in an approachable atmosphere.

Quantum Mechanics is comprised of:

  • Erick Carlson, owner and technician
      A Decatur native and originally trained as a machinist, Erick seamlessly went from car enthusiast to automotive technician. He worked with professional Porsche race team Tafel Racing through the 2005 and 2006 seasons as a fly-in technician. Following the closure of his longtime employer Decatur Automotive Center, Erick decided to pursue his foreign car specialty and open Quantum Mechanics, LLC. Erick has also been heavily involved in bicycle racing since the early 90s and in 2006 earned his semi-professional license for downhill mountain biking racing.
  • Jonathan Tondreau, service writer/parts manager
      An Atlanta native, Jonathan began taking things apart and reassembling them from the beginning. In his early teens, Jonathan began working on RVs, building his mechanical knowledge in several areas. In 2004, Jonathan began working as a technician at Decatur Automotive. Jonathan brings all of his automotive experience to the front counter at Quantum Mechanics as the service writer and parts manager . In November of 2005, Jonathan found time to attain his pilot license and flies regularly.
  • Jason Jones, lead technician
      Jason's 14 years of experience and staggering amount of knowledge is a very welcome addition here at Quantum Mechanics.

      Jason and Erick first crossed paths years ago when they were both at Decatur Automotive. When Erick was starting Quantum Mechanics he knew an experienced senior technician would be a critical asset, and Jason has not disappointed. Most recently Jason was at a shop specializing in BMW and Volvo and also has considerable experience with all of the makes we service.

      Jason is also an avid bicycle racer, specializing in velodrome events.
      Jason's motto "Fix it like your grandmother will be driving it."
  • Aaron Freeman, customer greeter
      We are happy to have Aaron as the newest member here at Quantum Mechanics.
