Wow! We are still speechless at our turnout Friday. Tommy’s retirement party was a huge success. We had over 100 people show up to shower us with love! Thank you to all who came out to visit, hang out, and share some stories. We love y’all and will miss you more than you know.
And to those that couldn’t make it, we totally understand. Thanks for the opportunity to serve y’all for the past 50 years.
🍻 Here’s to the next chapter.

(We did not get pictures of everyone, so if you got any, please share them here).

Hey y’all, Shawna here…
Yesterday, Dad and I flipped the sign to “Closed” for the last time.
I can’t begin to express what it’s been like to work for and with my Dad every day for 17+ years. (Not to mention growing up in the shop). To say I’ve been blessed is an understatement.

I’m beyond excited for my Dad and his next chapter. He deserves retirement more than anyone I know.
However, I’m sad because I will miss y’all, our customers and vendors. Y’all have been so good to us. You’ve become friends and even family. (Heck, my husband and I even reconnected at the shop). I’ve enjoyed visiting with y’all, getting to know you, and watching your families grow.
Cheers to you and here’s to seeing you around. 🍻💙

Dad, let’s go fishing. 🎣

Ricky Tarter… if you know him, you know he always has a joke and will always make you laugh.

What you might not know is that he and Tommy have known each other most of their lives.

Rick started working for Tommy back in 2014. Tommy has had a lot of mechanics through the years, and Rick has been one of the most dedicated and loyal. He is the first to jump in and help when needed and he’s always been there to help teach Tommy’s grandkids about auto repair.

Thank you Rick, you have definitely helped Tommy and the shop the past 12 years, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Rick is going to retire as well. He and his beautiful wife, Lorrie, will spend time with their kids and grandkids and they’ll keep racing (which they are both very good at). Good luck y’all!

The time has come. Today is the last official day of business for Tommy’s Shop.

It’s a bittersweet day around here. However, the legacy Tommy has established and the family he has built are truly remarkable. And none of it would have been possible without the unwavering support of our valued customers, vendors, and friends. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

In honor of Tommy and his family, we are going to share some pictures of them through the years.

Throwback Thursday….

Here is Tommy, with his brothers and one of his sisters, playing in the snow, on this very same lot the shop sits on now.
This is from the early 60’s.
