The Kind of Shop People Trust and Stick With
Since 2009, Automotive Services has been built around a simple idea: do honest work, treat people right, and earn their trust.
Family owned, trustworthy auto repair.
Emory Patton and his father, Howard “HP” Patton, founded Automotive Services with honesty and trust at the heart of their business.
HP believed in old-fashioned customer service: knowing the people who walked through the door, taking time to talk with them, and treating them like neighbors rather than numbers. Emory brought decades of hands-on automotive experience and a commitment to doing the job right.
A lot has changed since those early days, but those principles haven’t.

Growing Without Losing Who We Are
Today, Automotive Services remains family-owned and operated, with Emory still actively involved in the business and his daughter Christina continuing to work behind the scenes. As we’ve grown, so has the team around them. Lee West manages the shop, Travis serves as our long-tenured head mechanic, and Joseph is part of the team helping us care for our customers and their vehicles. Deshone and Lori are here to welcome customers, clearly explain what’s happening with their vehicles, and provide friendly updates along the way.
Every person here plays a part in protecting something that’s incredibly important to us: our reputation.
It’s the People Who Keep Us Going
If there’s one word our customers use again and again when they talk about Automotive Services, it’s honest. We’re proud of that because, as a family business, our name and reputation are attached to the work that leaves our shop.
That means we’ll help you understand what your vehicle actually needs. We’ll prioritize repairs so you know what should be handled now and what can wait. We don’t believe in unnecessary upselling. Our goal isn’t to get the most out of one visit — it’s to earn the next one.
Some of what we’re most proud of can’t be measured by the number of cars we’ve repaired. It’s the customers who have trusted us year after year, and seeing the next generation of a customer’s family start bringing their vehicles to us, too.

A NEW CHAPTER IN 2026Same People. A New Home.
Automotive Services has grown considerably since 2009 — our team, our customers, and now our home. In 2026, we moved into a new location just down the street. The building may change. Our team may continue to grow. But two things aren’t changing: we’re family-owned, and we’re committed to honest work.
