Why A Plus
Meet Scott Phillips
Most drivers don't trust repair shops; surveys put it at two out of three. Scott built A Plus Automotive on the opposite habit. For 25+ years he's told customers when a repair isn't necessary, which is why neighbors, pastors, and even other mechanics send people his way.
- He'll tell you when you don't need the repair
- If a part still has life in it, Scott says so. One customer's first visit ended with "I can change that, but it's not your problem" and a cheaper fix than he walked in expecting.
- An estimate before any work, every time
- You'll know what's wrong and what it costs before a wrench touches your car, so the number at pickup matches the number you agreed to.
- One mechanic, one address, 25 years
- The same owner has answered the phone at 5200 Elmore Rd since 1999. Your car's history stays with someone who actually remembers it.
- The shop other shops recommend
- Dynospeed Racing and Precision Auto have sent Scott their alignment work and their customers for years. Shops don't refer business to a competitor unless they trust him.

Scott at A-Plus Automotive did excellent work on both my minivan and my Chevy truck. He was quick, reliable, and straightforward, which I really appreciated. If you need a reputable mechanic, Scott is the one to call.

I have known Scott for over 20 years. He was recommended by a friend after I told my friend that I was looking for an honest mechanic. On my first visit, I went in thinking I knew exactly what part needed to be changed and Scott quickly said, “I can change that, but it’s not your problem.” The fix was much simpler and cheaper than I expected. Scott had me for life as a customer due to not over-selling me. Over the years, my family and I have relied upon Scott to do our automotive repairs from multiple Honda’s we’ve owned and my Toyota Land Cruiser. I have passed the word along about A Plus Automotive to everyone I meet that needs a competent, honest mechanic. Even recently, my daughter drove down from Jackson, TN to get her car repaired by Scott. His work and character are truly A Plus.
