Whether it's the hot Tennessee summers or the frigid winters, it's important that your vehicle's cabin stays at a comfortable temperature. If your vehicle's AC or heating system is on the fritz, it can make driving a completely uncomfortable event. Thankfully, there's no need to suffer through the seasons.
Aside from the engine, the braking system in your vehicle is one of the most important components to keep things safe and smooth. If your brakes are showing signs of trouble, it's vital to have them inspected and potentially repaired as soon as possible. At Fountain City Auto Clinic, we offer a range of brake services and repairs to get you safely back on the road.
The dreaded check engine light can mean a variety of things for your vehicle. This little light illuminates whenever your vehicle's onboard computer system detects a problem. In order to find out why this light is suddenly illuminated, you need help from the experts to determine the root cause. From the check engine light to annoying engine troubles, the team at Fountain City Auto Clinic can help make things right.
Whether you drive a sports car, a work truck, or a sedan, you rely on your vehicle's engine to keep you moving. From minor issues to major repairs, it's crucial to know what type of care your engine requires so that you can stay safe on the road. Addressing engine problems early can save you a lot of money and frustration in the long run.
If you own a business, you know how important it is to keep your company vehicles running smoothly. Whether you operate a fleet of four-door sedans, heavy-duty pickup trucks, or rugged cargo vans, the experts at Fountain City Auto Clinic in Knoxville, TN are happy to help you with all of your fleet service needs.

They lied to me about the test they did on my car. They claimed to work on it for two hours, but I was just up the street watching them. They barely did a twenty minute check yet claimed it was two hours. Another shop found the fault in less than an hour and charged way less. Would NEVER go back.

I stopped in to inquire about some possible work being done or if even needed. After discussing all my options I was advised to not do anything if it isn't broke. Very few shops would be honest like that. How well I know. They will be my future go to place.

Don’t come here unless you want to be talked to like you’re an idiot and given attitude by the owner for asking why the price of a service you got previously 3 months ago is over $100 more now. My family has been coming here for 3 generations for auto repair, but that’s not going to be the case anymore after today.

Greeted by friendly gentleman. He called me back within 15 minutes to let me know how long it would take for my estimate.
I had a list a mile long that I needed done & I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. I calculated an estimate of my own & when they sent me their estimate to approve, my estimate & the actual quote the shop gave me were within $50 of each other!! He gave me an approximate day he would be done & they were done a couple of days early finishing all the work & it ended being a little bit less $$ than the written estimate! They know their business, are respectful & courteous throughout

We went to this shop because of proximity. They charged and did things I did not ask for (totalling about 1k). They charged a diagnostic fee for what I told them was wrong (I needed a bolt changed). They "fixed" things that were not broken (and without confirmation before doing it). They "changed" brake fluid (which I did not ask for). They did not use the parts I provided (then charged me for another set of parts). DO NOT go here unless you have extra money laying around that you feel like burning. I feel extreamly taken advantage of. The work was adequate, but only adequate. I would not recommend

Fountain City Auto Clinic use to be a trusted name in the community that my family and friends had used for generations. I am sad to say the same is no longer true. I am saddened to hear the passing of the former owner and I feel much of the decline maybe due to the new management. Roughly a month ago I took my Ford Expedition in to have work performed on the A/C that was now longer blowing cold air. They were quick to fix the issue performing a leak test and replacing the schrader valves on the A/C lines and refilling the Freon. Problem solved, nice cool air! Performance decreased as weeks passed

Mounted and balanced a new set of tires I had purchased online. The price was very good. The work was done well. And car drives great. Took a bit longer than expected but no complaints. Will use them for future repairs.
