As a second generation 'car guy', I have been around the automotive industry in many
different levels for most of my life. I started washing cars at a large local dealership
when I was thirteen. While I attended the University of Tennessee, I began selling
cars and when I graduated from UT in 1991, I made the automotive industry my career.
In 1992, I was selling cars for Rocky Top Chevrolet here in Lenoir City when I was
given the opportunity to move into management as the service manager. While working
at the dealership, I graduated from the General Motors College of Management at Emory
University in Atlanta. I feel very fortunate to have worked at a small town dealership
where customer satisfaction was a very high priority. When the dealership sold in
2002, I was not sure where my career path would lead.
Fortunately, the many customers I had come to know so well helped to guide me to
where I am today. So many customers suggested that my wife Kristi and I open our
own service center that we decided to make the leap of faith. We started out in an
old and very small building and with the
overwhelming support of our loyal customers, we quickly out grew that facility. In
2005, we finished construction and moved into our new facility where we are today.
It is my goal to continue to build long term relationships based on high quality
work, competitive prices, and courteous, honest service.

of the opportunity, Lynn received many certifications and gained a wealth of experience
while working at the dealership.
