My mom and I were on a cross country roadtrip traveling through Tennessee. Car started leaking. Concerned, we called every car repair center we could find. Old Hickory was the only one to say "Come on over. We'll get you taken care of." After a short wait, I was being told and shown exactly what was going on with my car. They went above and beyond to ensure my car was working properly and I understood that it wasn't a leak but instead AC condensation from the intense humidity us California's aren't used to. Old Hickory was my first impression of the South and will forever remain ingrained in my appreciation for the area. I am grateful for their generosity, patience, and commitment to safety.
