Owner Brian Patrick recently decided to leave his job working for the North Carolina Department of Corrections and strike out on his own. According to local news reports, Patrick said he has been doing work on vehicles “all his life” as a hobby, and for side jobs. “I just decided it was time to start doing it full time,” he said.

The wholesale and retail dealership offers full service, alignments, brakes, state vehicle inspections and a local shuttle service. All tire brands and sizes are available upon request; wheels up to 28 inches in diameter can be mounted and balanced.
