The customer lounge at Blessed Beginnings: a couch, a Tennessee Vols flag and a wall of old license plates

About us

A small shop on Glennhill Lane

Blessed Beginnings of Tennessee is a family shop, locally owned and run by Jon and Eli Ownby along with Eli's sister, Sonya. We work by appointment, Monday through Friday, so every car that rolls into Unit 13 gets our full attention.

Mon–Fri 7:30–3:30

What we're about

Here's how we put it on our Facebook page: "Proudly serving our community with honest, dependable tire and oil services. We treat every customer like family and every car like our own." That's the whole plan.

In practice it means you get a straight answer and a price before any work starts. If something can wait, we'll tell you. If it's not our kind of job, we'll point you to someone good.

Our business theme verse

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:18–19

Come sit a spell

If you'd rather wait than leave, the lounge has a couch, cold drinks, snacks and a TV, under a wall of old license plates and a Vols flag. One customer called it "the cleanest shop I've ever seen," and we'd like to keep it that way.

In their words
