Tribble's Automotive - Reliable, Fair, Car Repair Service

WHAT IS ASE CERTIFICATION? Until the early 1970s, consumers had no way to distinguish between incompetent and competent mechanics. In response to this need, the independent, non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was established in 1972. ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals. At present, about 420,000 professionals hold current certifications. They work in every segment of the automotive service industry: car and truck dealerships, independent garages, fleets, service stations, franchises, and more. MEET OUR TEAM OF EXPERIENCED, CERTIFIED TECHS, OWNERS and STAFF We believe that our staff of technicians rival the best anywhere in metropolitan Atlanta, based upon their experience, teamwork and dedication. Moreover, they work very well together and are always available for consultation to one another, when situations present themselves. They truly work as an excellent team and, in our estimation, can resolve even the most problematic challenges.
	CURTIS PADGETT Our general manager and principal service adviser, Curtis has seventeen years experience and is an ASE certified automotive technician and diesel mechanic. While his primary duties require him to man the front desk and write service orders, Curtis is particularly adept at identifying problems, which might require greater amounts of time by other people. We believe that this ability helps us to locate and repair problems quickly and properly. But, most importantly, it saves our customers diagnostic time, which can otherwise be costly. Curtis lives in Woodstock with his wife and three children. He enjoys four-wheeling and a variety of shooting sports.
	PAUL OLAKER Paul is the most experienced member of our crew and, in our estimation, a first-rate mechanic. While, as an ASE certified technician, he is well qualified to work on any of today’s highly sophisticated automobiles, Paul is our resident authority on General Motors’ vehicles, having attended a wide variety of their continuing educational seminars. A lifetime resident of Georgia, Paul resides here in Marietta and is an avid golfer.
	DAVID TRAN The newest addition to our family, he comes to us with a full twenty-two years of automotive experienced. He is an ASE certified technician and is experienced with all automotive nameplates, both foreign and domestic. David was born in Vietnam, but came to America in 1980, where he attended school and, later, began learning the automotive trade. He lives here in Marietta with his wife and enjoys fishing and drag racing.
	JAMES MCCARTHUR Our resident veteran is James, who, we are proud to say, spent four years in the United States Marine Corps. He has eight years of valuable automotive experience and lives in Woodstock with his wife and three daughters. In his free time, he enjoys reading and fishing.
	TERESA TRIBBLE Accounting and Customer Service One of the truly unheralded members of our staff is David's wife, Teresa. With both feet firmly planted on the ground at all times, she keeps things running smoothly, when everyone else is busy. Teresa handles the majority of general customer service responsibilities, including scheduling, as well as all of our accounting duties. She has an outstanding background in customer service, having served in similar capacities with Kroger for over twenty-four years.
	DAVID TRIBBLE David Tribble was practically born into the automotive repair business. His father, Charlie, spent his entire career, encompassing more than fifty years, in and around the automotive and oil businesses. As a matter of fact, throughout David's youth, his dad and his mom, Doris, owned and operated service stations located in northern Alabama. In 1999, David decided to open Tribble's Automotive and built his first shop near the corner of Trickum and Shallowford Roads, in Marietta. Since that time, our business has grown so rapidly that we have moved twice and may find it necessary to do so within the near future. David's business philosophy is very simple: give the people the best possible service, an honest deal and a fair price and they'll keep coming back continuously. This has proven to be true, as we have a customer return rate in excess of 97%! David has been an ASE certified Master Technician and has in excess of thirty years, hands-on experience at the dealer and technical levels.
	MICHAEL TRIBBLE The newest addition to our staff is David and Teresa's son, Michael, who has just begun learning the family business. Michael is a student at Sequoyah High School and, while not attending classes, handles the responsibilities of shop steward, in which he performs a large and varied number of responsibilities.
	And last but certainly not least, the mascots:. KARMAN TRIBBLE Although Karman has been around the business as long as most of the "Techs" she is not certified. But that's not why we don't let her work on cars. It's because she is only 7" tall, And she hates it when she chips a nail ! Her main job is to greet every customer and sleep on the mat in front of the door.
	DIESEL TRIBBLE The newest addition to the mascot team, Diesel keeps Karman company when it comes to greeting the desk, greeting the customers and keeping the staff in all-around good spirits.
