FRED'S ALIGNMENT & SERVICE

With winter comes many things, from cold weather to presents, from hope to pot holes. Presents and hope you can do something about. Cold weather and pot holes you'll just have to live with. To help you correct the misalignment caused by hitting those potholes is Fred's Alignment Service. For less than you might think, you can have the shaking of your steering wheel fixed with a realignment of your front end and a balance of your tires. It will also help you get better gas mileage, and might just put a smile back on your face.

	Fred's Alignment & Service is located at 1114 North Central. They offer a variety of services to keep your car in operation.

But the name Fred's Alignment & Service doesn't do Fred's justice. From brakes and wheel alignment to radiator repair and engine tune-ups, from frame work to air conditioning service, Fred's offers a wide range of automotive services to keep your car running and you on the road. Located at 1114 N. Central Ave., Fred McCollough has owned the business for 27 years. Fred's son, Bob McCollough is manager. 

They offer free estimates on work they do. You can call them at 865-522-4778 or stop by Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fred's has a staff of 8 people that strive for prompt, courteous service. According to the folks at Fred's, "We try to do the job right the first time. We do quality work at a reasonable price." And they're close enough to walk to, so you can drop off your car, go home, and walk back to pick it up. Car repair and a little exercise. What more could you ask for?
