About Us
At Tackett Total, service isn’t just something we provide — it’s who we are. As a proud veteran- and family-owned automotive repair shop, our foundation is built on the values learned in uniform: integrity, commitment, hard work, and taking care of those beside you. Today, that same mission continues right here at Tackett Total.
We understand that when you trust someone with your vehicle, you’re trusting them with your family’s safety — and that’s a responsibility we never take lightly. Whether it’s routine maintenance, advanced diagnostics, or a full engine replacement, every vehicle that comes through our doors is treated with expert care and attention, and every customer is treated like family.
Rooted in small-town America, we believe in honest work, fair pricing, and standing firmly behind everything we do. Our goal is simple: to keep our community safely on the road while building a legacy our family — and our country — can be proud of for generations to come.

I purchased my lexus es350 5 days ago. I was traveling to simpsonville and a belt broke leaving me stranded at 330 in the afternoon. I called Tacket total, they were able to get me in, order the belt and install it in record time. Very friendly people here. Very helpful attentive and kind individuals. Highly recommend!

I’ve taken my dualies, cars, and side-by-side to them and they treat my vehicles like their own, which is to say Very Well. Not to mention these are some of the best people you’d hope to meet. If you’re in the area and need their services, do yourself the favor, and thank me later.

Nothing worse than being broke down and stuck in Kentucky. But if you ever are, please go to Tackett Total. Chris, the owner was very sympathetic to my bad luck. Luckily Tackett Total was able to change my luck. Ram diesel dually with a torn up transfer case on a friday... Chris did the impossible. He hunted down a new transfer case that was 2.5 hours and was able to get me and my son back on the road the same day before closing. Awesome awesome group at Tackett. From the owner down to the mechanics. Great atmosphere. Friendly knowledgeable service and out going. You cant put a price on the safety of your loved ones. TRUST Tackett Total for any of your automotive needs!

We had a flat tire at the freeup storage next door to Tackett Total and Chris Tackett came to look at the tire and said he could fix it same day. They didn't have the size but picked up the tire at another business and put it on. He was awesome! I highly recommend Chris Tackett!
