I came in having a terrible day, and Joe immediately came outside as soon as I parked. As a young woman, I usually hate dealing with any car shops, but this was exactly the kind of experience I needed. Joe was friendly, inviting, and had me in and out of there in under a hour with an appointment to get things done…

I had a great experience with NTB on East Brainerd! They did my wheel alignment and provided excellent service. The staff was friendly, professional, and helpful, and I really appreciated the attention they gave to my vehicle.

I came in having a terrible day, and Joe immediately came outside as soon as I parked. As a young woman, I usually hate dealing with any car shops, but this was exactly the kind of experience I needed. Joe was friendly, inviting, and had me in and out of there in under a hour with an appointment to get things done that I needed. I’ve always been rough on cars, so NTB and Joe will definitely be seeing more of me due to the customer service alone.
