Absolutely top notch shop! Exceptional. Just had my specialized battery installed and they were friendly, professional and very reasonably priced. Steve and crew are the best - he even went the very extra mile to help me figure out how to update an old nav system on my nearly 7 year old car. Highly recommend! 5++

Amazing service every time. I’ve brought my car here twice and both times they fixed the issue same day! The staff is very friendly, explains things clearly, and doesn't make you feel rushed or talked down to. Pricing is very fair, especially for how fast and reliable the work is. It’s hard to find an honest mechanic these days, but this shop is definitely my go-to now. Highly recommend!

My wife's car wouldn't start at the Kroger the other day. I went up and charged it, and she drove to Advanced Autoparts at Hickory Flat to get a new battery. They put it in, and afterward the car was completely dead. She tells me the guy was seeing if he could figure out what was going on, but nothing was working. I figure I'm going to have to go pick her up and find a way to get the car to a mechanic. I Googled for an auto repair shop nearby and there is a place 5 minutes away that has good reviews. I drove over there and the Auto Parts guy is really apologetic. He tells me me everything he had tried. He tried another new battery. He put the old battery back in. He put a new battery in the key fob just in case. Nothing. He Googled for other solutions. He asked some people he knew, including a mechanic nearby to see if they had any advice. I asked what mechanic, and it was the same place I had Googled. I asked if he knew if they had a tow truck, and he said he was still seeing if there was anything else he could try. He goes into the store. Two guys then show up and they're from the repair shop. One of them is the owner. That was a surprise to the auto parts guy too. They start working on it (mostly the second guy). They're stumped for a few minutes and then it starts. All the fuses looked good, but the guy took a spare one from the cover on the inside fuse box and replaced a fuse under the hood and that did it. The shop is Hickory Flat Auto Repair. I tell the owner Steve they have my business next time I need any auto work. I mentioned we have two cars, and our kids have two. That same night my daughter calls me and her car won't start. She had a battery charger I got her, and that didn't do it, and what she described didn't sound like a bad battery. She had the car towed to Hickory Flat Auto today. It turns out it was just "flooded", which Steve told her can happen sometimes if it's cold out and you just move the car, and the next time it won't start. He pushed the pedal to the floor, pushed the start button and it started after a while. No charge. That was twice in just a few days that Steve helped us out. There are some who would have taken advantage of that easy fix and either charged for it, or worse yet, said it was something else and charged a lot more.
