Farragut Automotive

Gary and Joann Chitwood, owners of All in One Automotive, helm a team of ASE–certified technicians who protect car performance and foster peak mileage with preventative maintenance and repair services. Mechanics perform everything from basic oil changes and tire rotations to multipoint inspections that top off all fluids and scout out crucial components and systems to make sure lights shine, blinkers blink, and mirrors aren't obstructed by cracks or narcissists. The shop’s computerized engine analyses diagnose internal issues, and emergency repairs fix malfunctioning parts throughout the day, as well as on Saturdays. A free shuttle scoops up customers and delivers them to their destination, if needed, while their car is being serviced.

The owners of B & D Detail Shop molded their business practices from a two-fold philosophy: that an auto center's meticulous attention to detail should elicit as brilliant a beam from polished autos as their drivers' satisfied smiles. That's why B & D's staff restores cars to a showroom or TV-commercial-ready gleam with washing and detailing in a friendly environment. Techs wash and wax roadsters by hand, ensuring detailed and comprehensive beautification that, when coupled with extras such as removal of splattered bugs or headlight restoration, protects vehicles against future assaults from Mother Nature.

Since 1996, the ASE-certified technicians at Economy Transmissions have been striving to keep cars on the road with services ranging from basic oil changes to advanced repairs and rewirings. As the business’s name suggests, the shop specializes in transmission maintenance and can swiftly diagnose and remedy issues such as noisy gearboxes and jolting gearshifts, as well as problems unrelated to transmissions, such as car horns that won’t stop cussing.

Stacks of Michelin and BFGoodrich tires sprout from the oil-stained grounds of Secret City Tire & Service Center, formerly Thompson Tire & Service Center. The experienced staff, led by an ASE-certified master technician, culls from the rubbery ranges each time a customer needs a new tire, pumping up new treads with a nitrogen tire inflator. Parts from Interstate Batteries and NAPA also populate the shop, and equip the staff during maintenance and repair services such as tune-ups, oil changes, and computerized wheel alignments. Techs back their handiwork with American Car Care Center warranties that are honored at more than 1,000 dealers nationwide and three dealers on Venus.

As the lifts inside Smart Auto’s state-of-the-art service shop hoist vehicles into the air, the team of mechanics bustling below performs maintenance services such as oil changes, brake repairs, and engine diagnostics. The sounds of their clinking tools echo inside, where the in-house finance team sits, and outside, where a parking lot full of used cars attend obedience school.
