What we do

One shop. Every repair.

From a simple oil change to full system diagnostics — our mechanics are trained to perform factory-recommended maintenance services for most vehicles.

System Diagnostics

We use advanced diagnostic computers to read your vehicle's fault codes, find the real cause, and build a repair strategy before we touch a wrench.

Technician repairing an engine cylinder head

Repair Services

Brake service packages, belts & hoses, battery installation, fluid exchange, shocks & struts, steering & suspension — no repair too big or too small.

Tire Service & Alignment

Tire service and suspension alignment done right — so your car tracks straight, your tires last longer, and your ride stays smooth.

A/C System Service

We're EPA certified to work on your A/C. Knoxville summers are no joke — we'll find the leak, recharge the system, and get the cold air back.

Preventive Maintenance

Oil changes, fluid exchange, belts and hoses. The small stuff, on schedule, so the expensive stuff never happens.

Dashboard Light Decoding

That light on your dash means something specific. Bring it in and we'll tell you exactly what — for free, before you commit to anything.

“Your car has a lot of responsibilities. It takes you to work. And the kids to school. It can't be late for soccer practice. Or the orthodontist. Most importantly, it has to do all these things, and many more, while keeping you and your family safe.”

Why we do preventive maintenance the way we do
  • We listen carefully

    You know your car better than anyone. We start by hearing what it's actually doing.

  • Clear explanations & estimates

    You'll know what's wrong, what it costs, and what can wait — before any work starts.

  • Fast, expert service

    Most jobs move quickly, and we often test drive after the repair to make sure it's truly fixed.

  • Honesty above all else

    If your brakes have six months left, we'll tell you they have six months left.

Our story

With a smile and a handshake.

Summit Auto Care is a family owned business providing customers the old fashion way: with a smile and a handshake.

Adib Akbari learned the trade from his father, who opened the family's first Knoxville shop in 2002. Adib opened Summit Auto Care in 2010, and we've been serving Middle Tennessee from 2408 Maryville Pike ever since — a lot of our customers have been coming back for more than a decade.

We're not the biggest shop in Knoxville. We're the one people send their friends to.

I had car trouble this weekend while visiting Knoxville & Adib got me squared away and back out on the road within an hour. He went with me on a test drive after the fix just to make sure everything was taken care of. Top notch service. A hidden gem in Knoxville!

I have lived in Knoxville my whole life and I say with certainty that Adib and his staff are the best mechanics in town. They do very honest and high quality work. They have saved tons of money over the years. If you moved to town and are looking for a great mechanic you can trust, I highly recommend them.

Great experience with these guys. Thought I had an issue with my brakes, but they told me I had at least six more months on mine. I feel like most would probably replace them and take the money. Been trying to find my go-to mechanic since…

Best service I've received in Knoxville with very reasonable prices and quality work! Was having issues with my brakes and took my Camry in to be looked at. Was also in need of an oil change and they took care of it all in a very timely and professional manner! Super friendly and knowledgeable!!

Adib and his crew are always friendly, frank, and professional. I have taken my car here 3 times for work. Each time, I was given more than a fair price, no problems after completion, and it was all done in a quick and timely manner. I would absolutely recommend bringing your vehicle to this shop beyond all others.

Tbh they were amazing. Fair estimate for the work done. I was able to buy the parts and get the work done on my Honda. Very knowledgeable and great customer service. I was passing thru from out of town. They fix the problem and I got a fair estimate. Thank you.
