OUR SHOP
Hughes Automotive located at 7116 Harrisburg Road, Charlotte NC 28215 has been in business since 2004. Hughes is a family owned and operated 5-service bay facility, that has been running under new ownership with the Littlejohn Family, local to Mint Hill, NC. The shop is an above average professional facility with ASE certified technicians that are highly qualified and provide superior service that prides itself on honesty and integrity. We operate closely with NAPA Auto care as the largest repair facilities in this market. We are independently owned and managed which allows us to provide service that is flexible to our customers. We service most makes and models in a wide range of age of vehicles from Domestics to Foreign. We provide individual owned vehicle service as well as fleet service programs. Dave Littlejohn our commander and chief grew tired of corporate life, and bought Hughes Automotive to run with his sons Brad and Brandon. Dave, with the help of his family, was able to keep the company thriving through the 2020 COVID pandemic that shut down so many family-owned businesses across the country. Hughes Automotive is dedicated to providing quality automotive service to Charlotte and the surrounding areas.
