“We have the latest equipment from diagnostic to suspension to alignment, tires, computer calibrations, everything we need to repair your vehicle whether it is a 1952 or a 2019,” Tucker said. “We have a modern, clean facility with a coffee bar fireplace and much more. We want you to feel comfortable at our family’s business whether young or old, male or female we want you to feel at home at Tucker's Automotive.
