As most of you already know, big things are happening in Ellsinore. I, Garrett Reeves am excited to announce that I am the new owner of Carter County Automotive formerly known as Crites Custom Automotive
First and foremost, I want to thank God for guiding and directing me through everything to make it to this huge milestone. Without Him I am nothing. This is a huge blessing and I can’t express my gratitude enough for David Crites and Vivian Crites for giving me this opportunity.
I’ve seen first hand for a long time how much David cares about this business He has poured so much time and effort into making this place what it is today and has always stood by his work and made sure his customers are happy and my goal is to continue down the path he has laid out for me. He has been the best mentor over the years and I wish him and his family the best of luck on their journey
As for Carter County Automotive, we are focused on providing the absolute best experience for everyone that walks through our door. We are open to the public now and our normal business hours are Monday-Friday from 8AM to 5PM and we are taking on almost anything you need done, from oil changes to engine repairs and transmission replacements, we can do it all. Call us to get on the schedule @ 573-322-0074.
I also want to give a special thanks to my parents and mother-in-law for their support through all of this and for my wife who has always been so supportive of me and pushes me to do better each and every day. As my late father-in-law Doug Scott would say, “Don’t worry, God’s got this under control”
