Great experience at this shop. Had a set of tires put on and all my lug nuts replaced. Very reasonable prices. I’ve known Mike for a long time. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my vehicles. Don’t pass this place up!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Brake work pricing depends on your vehicle and what needs fixing. A brake pad replacement costs less than a full brake system overhaul. We'll give you an honest quote before we start work. Call us at (629) 310-8581 with your vehicle details and the issue you're having.
Yes. Bring your vehicle in or call (629) 310-8581 to describe the problem. We'll assess what's needed and give you a fair price with no surprises. Mike's approach is straightforward: honest diagnosis, no gouging, transparent communication.
Customers come back because of Mike's honesty and fair pricing. When other shops quoted thousands for engine seal work, Mike replaced the valve cover gaskets for a fraction of the cost. He communicates clearly, doesn't upsell unnecessary work, and keeps every vehicle running right.
Yes. We handle repairs for all vehicle types. Whether it's a Prius needing brake work or a truck needing an oil change, Mike Thomas Automotive has the expertise to diagnose and fix the problem correctly.
Turnaround depends on the repair. A tire installation or oil change takes an hour or two. Brake work or gasket replacement may take longer. When you call or bring your vehicle in, we'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific job.
No, we're closed Saturdays and Sundays. We're open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. If you need service, call during business hours at (629) 310-8581 to schedule or get immediate help.
Some shops quote high to maximize profit. Mike's philosophy is fair pricing: he quotes what the work actually costs and what a regular person should pay. That honesty is why customers drive from Nashville to Murfreesboro rather than use shops closer to home.
Absolutely. Multiple customers keep all their vehicles with Mike. They know that every service, from oil changes to major repairs, is handled with honesty and reliability. Many have trusted Mike.

Serving Franklin
Franklin is in Williamson County, south of Nashville along Interstate 65, with Mack Hatcher Parkway looping around the historic downtown. The Cool Springs area is packed with office parks and shopping, and traffic on Cool Springs Boulevard and Mallory Lane backs up at peak hours. The land around Franklin is rolling and hilly, so many neighborhood roads climb and drop. Interstate 840 links Franklin east to Rutherford County. Families here often drive larger SUVs, minivans and trucks, and many households run more than one vehicle. Summer heat and humidity are the same as across Middle Tennessee, along with occasional winter ice.

Why Franklin customers need this work
Franklin's hills and busy commercial roads put steady demands on brakes, tires and transmissions. Heavier SUVs and trucks are harder on pads and rotors than small cars, especially on downhill grades. School runs, errands and Cool Springs traffic add up to a lot of short trips, which keep engine oil from fully warming up and make regular oil changes more important. Summer heat speeds up fluid breakdown in transmissions that already work hard in stop-and-go traffic. For a family with two or three vehicles, staying ahead of brakes, tires and fluid service keeps every one of them ready for the daily routine.
