About Us

As a teenager, Steve enjoyed tinkering with his cars and decided to have a career in the Automotive Industry. He went to work for Airport Honda of Knoxville(8 years) as Service Parts Director and Service Director at Harpers (11 years). Where he learned how to use computer based diagnostic tools to enhance his deep knowledge of automobile engines. He learned the value of every automobile, and learned how the right care and knowledge could extend the life and performance of any car or truck. It was during this time that Steve realized the consumer was not recieving good service, so he decided to serve the public with personal service and good quality work.
