A wonderful guy named Dale came to our rescue. He was so helpful, called a local mechanic (Master Tech and Auto) at 11pm and arranged to drop off the truck and had the mechanic call us to help diagnose the problem. He ordered the part that night so he could fix it in the morning! What? Amazing service. Dale dropped us at our hotel and helped carry the luggage in. Wow! The price was extremely reasonable. Can't thank you enough for the great caring service. Would highly recommend Casper's!

In the past two years, Elite has replaced a transmission and the hydraulic rack/pinion assy on my 2011 Chev Impala. (16k miles on the tranny, which is smoother than the original.) And I had them service the CVT fluid on my wife's 2017 Subaru Legacy 3.6R. Later, she brought it in because the electric window (passenger, front) wasn't working. Danny (owner) advised it was a battery problem (weird!) and charged only $60 for troubleshooting. Yet, we'd not have given a thought if he'd have charged us hundreds. The only deal I'm interested in is a) accurate, honest diagnosis; b) competent workmanship; and c) paying only what I should pay, for work that was needed and that was done right. That's the deal that Danny gives at Elite.

I am a resident of Kodak and needed work done on my 2006 F-150. Was having torque converter shudder…read moreand needed it replaced. I frequent the convenience center in Kodak and couldn't help but notice a huge sign advertising Jim's Automotive. I called Jim and he stated that he did that type of work (I've always supported local small business) so I booked the job with him. Now please understand that I am ASE CERTIFIED Technician with 40yrs experience. I booked this job with Jim as I am new to the area and do not have a lift available to me to do this job. The work was done on 5-1-26 On 5-26-26 my truck suddenly began to shake at high speeds and shudder at low speeds. This is text book tell tail sign of a torque converter pump fins falling apart. Upon speaking with (what I would imagine) be Jim's service writer it was confirmed to me that they used a remanufactured torque converter. These used parts have a 30% failure rate. From 2017 thru 2022 I was the Mgr of A Oreilly Auto Parts store 5227 in Miami Florida and never recommended any reman part to a professional shop due to their failure rate, this being a starter, alternator, a/c compressor and least off all a torque converter. The difference in price is minimal but the quality is monumental. Shame on me for not seeing any ASE signage and not following what I preach. Only allow fellow ASE Certified technicians work on my vehicles. Jim gave me a total BS story that what I was feeling was a misfire from the motor. He stated the the torque converter showed no sign of failure and would not be honoring the warranty. This is typical shade tree mechanic excuse. Do not recommend this place for any type of serious work. If you need any type of serious work done on your vehicle go to Ricks in downtown Sevierville.

We have become loyal customers to an honest and reputable team of mechanics at Thomas Auto. I honestly couldn't ask for better. They are the BEST. I truly appreciate them especially having little ones to haul around on road trips. Nothing makes a parent feel safer than having a roadworthy vehicle and they always make sure we are. My Nissan Titan was totaled and I bought a 2022 Subaru Ascent. I went in and spoke to Dylan and asked would they be able to service it or should I take it to the dealership. He said they would be able to service it and said if it's something they cannot then they can make recommendations like the dealership. They service our 2019 RAM 2500, my sisters 2018 Toyota 4Runner, my nephews old Mazda truck and my nieces Hyundai Sonata. We love Thomas Auto. Thank you guys for being a great team! We have lived here for one year now and they continue to be honest and reliable. We get our oil changes done here on our Nissan Titan and our Ram 2500. Every time I take a road trip, which is often, I have them do an inspection to make sure I'm road worthy. Once again, today, I received outstanding service. Dylan and Priscilla always take good of us at the front desk and over the phone.

A day later, my car started making a strange noise, and I immediately began to worry. My first instinct was to find a Firestone because it was familiar, but something told me to look for a local mechanic instead. That's how I found Rick's. Even though they were absolutely slammed that morning, the staff welcomed me as a walk-in. The lady at the front desk quickly found someone--who I believe was Rick himself--to take my car for a test drive. When he returned, he asked me to give him a few minutes to find an open lift. About twenty minutes later, they had diagnosed the problem, made a minor adjustment to the subframe, and had me safely back on the road. While I was waiting, I couldn't help but notice how the service advisors treated their customers, especially several elderly folks who came in. They were patient, respectful, and took the time to explain everything clearly. That kind of customer service has become all too rare, and it created an atmosphere that immediately put people at ease. What impressed me most wasn't just that they fixed my car. It was that, despite being incredibly busy, they were willing to stop what they were doing to help a stranded traveler they had never met. That says a lot about the character of this business. I'm truly grateful for Rick's. If they were in my hometown, they'd have my business for life.
