Seeing that they were open until 10:00pm, I was able to carefully drive to their facility. They said they would look at my car first thing in the morning. I couldn't believe they would be open and working on Memorial day. I rented one of their autos and made it back to the hotel. I returned the next morning and they already had started working on what might be wrong. Dennis, the lead mechanic was wonderful to work with. Dennis said enjoy Pigeon Forge and we will call you as soon as we know what the problem was. At10:00 am I got a call that it was what I thought it was the transmission. I was given several options and they went above and beyond. In fact they found a transmission near by and gave a check to an employee who lived near the supply business to pick up the transmission on his way to work. Again this is Memorial Day and as we enjoyed our day in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg as they removed the transmission in preparation to install first thing Tuesday. We again enjoyed the next day and got a call from Dennis at 1:00pm that our car was. They went over everything and kept me informed every step of the way. We didn't loose a day and even though we thought we were gonna be stranded way past the holiday weekend, this company went above and beyond to make sure everything worked into our schedule. I highly recommend them!!!!!

I was vacationing in Pigeon Forge in June 2026 when I made a mistake on one of the narrow mountain…read moreroads and slipped off the edge of the pavement. 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.
