Right next door in Davidson County
Old Hickory is a community in Davidson County that borders Hermitage, and it shares a piece of history with its neighbor: both are tied to Andrew Jackson, whose nickname was “Old Hickory” and whose home gave Hermitage its name. Today the two communities are part of the same east-side neighborhood fabric, and plenty of Old Hickory residents shop, work and run errands in Hermitage.
Plenty of drivers keep a vehicle for years, and a well-maintained older car can be very dependable. The key is staying ahead of the parts that age with time, like hoses, belts, batteries and fluids, not just the ones that wear with use.
Low mileage does not mean low maintenance. A car that sits for days at a time or only makes short trips around the neighborhood can still need fresh oil, a healthy battery and a cooling system in good shape. Rubber and fluids age on the calendar, so we look at the whole vehicle and help you decide what is worth doing now and what can wait.

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Old Hickory?
Yes. Old Hickory borders Hermitage, and many of our customers come from there. Our shop is at 3464 Lebanon Pike in Hermitage.
My older car still runs fine. What maintenance should I keep up with?
Stay on top of oil changes, coolant, belts and hoses, brakes and tires, and follow the intervals in your owner's manual. On older vehicles, rubber parts like hoses and belts deserve extra attention because they age even when mileage is low.
What does it mean if my car smells sweet or I see green or orange fluid under it?
That usually points to a coolant leak. Low coolant can lead to overheating, so have the cooling system checked soon and keep an eye on your temperature gauge in the meantime.
Can you work on my truck as well as my car?
Yes. We service cars, trucks and SUVs from domestic, Asian and European manufacturers, as well as hybrids. Call us if you want to confirm before bringing yours in.
