Our Story & Mission
From a small garage in Franklin to becoming Middle Tennessee's trusted exhaust specialists—here's how we got here.
Started in a Garage, Built on Trust
Back in 2009, our founder opened this shop with a simple mission: provide honest, expert exhaust repair without the games. She'd spent years watching customers get talked into unnecessary repairs at general auto shops that didn't really understand exhaust systems.
So we did things differently. We focused on one thing—exhaust systems—and we did it really, really well. No upselling, no confusing technical jargon, no waiting around for days. Just straightforward service from people who actually know what they're doing.
Fifteen years later, we've helped over 12,000 customers throughout Franklin, Nashville, and the surrounding areas. But even as we've grown, that original focus and integrity remain at the heart of everything we do.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide every interaction, every repair, and every customer relationship.
Honesty First
We never recommend work you don't need. If your exhaust is fine, we'll tell you. If it isn't, we'll explain exactly why and show you the evidence. No games, no surprises.
Specialized Expertise
General mechanics fix everything. We fix exhaust systems—exclusively. This focus means faster diagnoses, better solutions, and repairs that actually last.
Respect for Your Time
We know you have places to be. That's why we prioritize efficient service without cutting corners. Most repairs are done in 1-2 days, often less.
Quality That Lasts
We use premium parts and proven techniques because we believe repairs should hold up—not just until the warranty expires, but for years to come.
Community Roots
We're not some faceless corporation. We're your neighbors. We live here, work here, and we're invested in keeping our community's vehicles running right.
Women-Owned Business
As a Certified Women's Business Enterprise, we're proud to bring diverse leadership and fresh perspectives to the auto repair industry.
