Auto repair service near Rutledge, TN

I have been to this shop several times with two different vehicles. A 99 Nissan Pathfinder and a 92 Ford F150. The employees here are professional and always happy to explain anything you need them to. They have always been upfront about cost, and they are won't try to force you into work you don't need. People who are worried that they will get up sold on something they do not need should have no fear with this place. They do their best to get the work done quickly as not to leave you without your vehicle long. Obviously this varies based on what you are having done, but like the issue with price, they will let you know ahead of time so that you can plan accordingly. The longest I went was one week, but I was having a laundry list of stuff done to the F150. It is a family truck that sat for years without use. If issues arise during your cars stay they will inform you promptly. I have never left this place unsatisfied, and have made it a point to refer friends, family, and co-workers when they are having car troubles. Jordan M. Knoxville, TN

Easily the best diagnostic guys in Knoxville.

Waited for 10 minutes outside the shop doors waiting on someone to see what I needed. Fully understand they had two vehicles in the shop; but attendant was more concerned with shooting the bull with his buddy than taking care of business. Won't stop again...here's a recipe on how to go out of business.

Went out of their way to be kind and helpful. A 10% military discount also very much appreciated. Will definitely use them again. Nice to know I have found an honest mechanic!

I thought we'd try this guy after moving close to his place. we got a flier in the area. My regular mechanic quoted me 300 and Maddox was 325, but it was close and I figured it would be nice to have a mechanic nearby. I told him my son had been unemployed for several months and we needed to keep costs down in repairing his truck since he was selling it. He texted that the truck was ready the next day with a $446 bill!! I told him we did not have that and it was more than the estimate. He just kept saying its an "estimate" which means it can change and he found something else that had to be done to "get it right". In 25 years of having my cars fixed, never has a shop, individual or dealership gone ahead and repaired something else without calling for an approval of the price change over the estimate. NEVER. he would not back down. I called my church for help for the extra money,, but maddox would not take a credit card from the church and said cash only. So my church could not help without a paper trail for their records. He really put me in a bind and if that was not enough IT"S NOT EVEN FIXED right. When we drove off, we began to hear a rattle in the engine that was not there before but we do not trust the guy to take it back to him. DON"T GO here, find someone else with some good reviews.

Stay away unless you have over a month to wait to have it fixed. Over priced and under staffed. Will not return calls.

Call me gullible. The 21st of February I took my 1998 Mercury Sable in because it had a slight shudder when accelerating in low gear and a squeak in the front. I figured it was my transmission, after all my car had appx. 175,000 miles on it. We had shopped around for a good used car and just could not afford one with the economy in the shape it's in. Any way we took it in. They assured me it wasn't the transmission, but needed new hoses, a belt, spark plug wires etc. because everything under the hood was factory except the spark plugs which we had replaced around 80,000 and the belt which we had replaced around 70,000. The bad news was the whole front end was out. Struts, ball joints, everything had to be replaced to the tune of $2,689.04. Crazy for that old of a car right. Well, the mechanic assured us it would be like a new car from front to back. He was sure that was all it needed. Since we couldn't afford a new car we went for it. Duh! When I got it home it was doing the same thing I took it in for plus my brake peddle is going to the floor sometimes. I never had any brake issues. So we took it back. When I got my car today they charged me $87.51 to tell me I need a transmission, a power steering pump, which I couldn't tell anything was wrong with, and an ABS sensor. What will be my total charge $2469.33. I would be stupid to put that much into a car that old. Moral of the story, when Rusty Wallace Ford mechanics tell you that they are sure that the work they will do will fix your car, they aren't. It may come back in worse shape like mine did. One things for sure I have a nice body with sound suspension it's just that it's not safe to drive! Beware!!!!

Terrible Car wash. Guy at car wash tries to make you pay him more money than what car wash costs. You can pay for wash yourself but the "attendant" tries to extort you for more money for him to hand dry your car. The wash has a dryer. DON'T pay him s----!!!! Then watch him talk down to you and watch him get p----- off.
