TheChattanooga Mechanic

A locally owned shop on Hixson Pike

Most people walk in here already braced for bad news, because somewhere along the way a shop talked past them, moved a price, or fixed something they never agreed to. That expectation is the real problem in this trade, and it is the one we set out to fix.

We have been repairing cars in Chattanooga for more than 10 years. The work is done by ASE-certified technicians, covered repairs carry a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty, and every service gets logged to CarFax so the history follows the vehicle when you sell it.

  • ASE-certified technicians
  • 12-month / 12,000-mile nationwide warranty on covered work

How we run the place

Look before you talk

Nobody here quotes a repair over the phone from a description of a noise. The car goes up, someone looks at it, and the recommendation comes with measurements attached.

Say it in plain words

If you want the technical version, we will give you the technical version. If you want to know whether you can drive it to work on Monday, we will answer that instead of reading you a code number.

The price you approve is the price you pay

You get a number before the work starts. If we find something else once we are in there, that is another phone call, not a bigger invoice at pickup.

Tell people what can wait

Some things need doing today and some things need watching for six months. A shop that calls everything urgent is not doing you a favor, and it is the fastest way to lose someone's trust.

What we work on

Most domestic and import cars, trucks, and SUVs, including hybrids. Daily drivers, work trucks that live loaded, and the high-mileage car somebody is trying to get two more years out of. If your vehicle needs something we do not handle in house, we will say so instead of experimenting on it.

Having repairs done here does not affect your factory warranty. Federal law protects your right to use an independent shop for maintenance and repairs, as long as the work meets specification and gets documented. We use the right parts and fluids, and we keep the record.

Conveniently located on Hixson Pike

We are on Hixson Pike in Chattanooga, Tennessee, easy to reach from Hixson, Red Bank, Soddy-Daisy, Signal Mountain, and the rest of the Chattanooga area. Walk in, or call to schedule a time that suits you. Mornings are usually the shortest wait.

This is a local shop in a community we live in. Whether it is the family car, a commuter, or a work truck, the location makes it an easy stop heading in or out of Hixson. Most of our customers come back because of how they were dealt with the first time, which is the only advertising that actually works.
