Expanding West

“Our motto actually is ‘we fix everything,’ so if you name it, we can fix it,” said Tristan Piet, interim store manager of the Farragut location.
“We do everything from domestic to European to diesel,” he added. “Everything.
Car Fix started “very small, in Crossville, in 2003,” Piet said. “The owner, Richard Weis, has expanded since then and started a multi-unit growth.
“We currently have about 12 locations,” he added.
The manager said Car Fix has “a single owner, real easy to deal with,” while the business is “family-friendly and essentially we’re only here for our customersWe do anything we can to help everybody out.”
Piet noted Car Fix has a number of locations left in the Knoxville area.
“We just purchased three (of Service Street’s locations), being this store, the Bearden location and Cedar Bluff,” he said. “We’re in the works for another one.”
There also is a Car Fix location along North Campbell Station Road, which has been there for almost two years.
“I love it,” Piet said about managing the Farragut shop. “I’ve been with the company coming up on three years. I started as a store manager in Maryville.
“The business model is great,” he added. “The attentiveness to our customers is great. Our relationships with other businesses are amazing.
“We really are just a down-to-earth big old family.”
Car Fix Farragut is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and closed Saturday and Sunday.
