Opening a new shop is exciting. It’s also humbling.
Stone’s River Auto & Exhaust just opened its doors in Murfreesboro, and for Devon, every vehicle that pulls in matters. Not because it’s a sale — but because it’s a chance to show people what kind of shop this is going to be.
“When you’re new, you don’t get the benefit of history,” Devon says. “You earn trust one repair at a time.”
Devon is used to working on postal trucks — vehicles that don’t get days off, don’t get shortcuts, and don’t tolerate sloppy work. Those trucks run routes all day, every day, and if something fails, it’s obvious immediately.
That mindset carries over to customer vehicles.
Whether it’s an exhaust issue, brakes, or general repairs, Devon approaches each job the same way:
- Figure out what actually matters
- Explain it in plain language
- Fix what needs fixing — not what sounds impressive
There’s no hiding behind “we’ve been here 20 years” yet. And honestly, Devon doesn’t want to.
Stone’s River Auto & Exhaust is being built the old-fashioned way — by doing solid work, standing behind it, and letting the reputation grow naturally in Murfreesboro.
If you’re the kind of customer who values honesty over hype, Devon is ready to earn your business.
