dreams are possible
Brabson and Son Auto Repair is the realization of a DREAM. Melvin Brabson Sr. repaired heavy duty vehicles for Chrysler for over 50 years before retiring in 2017. In his spare time he repaired them in his own garage and the garages of his friends. "I fell in love with cars the first time I stepped onto a race track with my older brother back in Alcoa, Tennessee. I love the power that these machines harness and the fact that I could control that power; add to it or take away from it by repairing it or enhancing it in some way, made me love them even more. That is something I wanted to give to my son, so I took him to the track.....and the dream was born".
Brabson and Son Auto Repair was opened in the fall of 2019.

"Having worked in other peoples' garages most of my life, it feels good to finally work in my own. Working alongside my son is a dream come true. When he was a kid I tried to instill in him all of the skills I had learned. It makes me proud to watch him use his skills and know that I had a hand in helping to build his talents. It is my prayer that my legacy lives on in him."

"Working alongside my father is an honor. It feels absolutely wonderful to show him how much I learned from him. I also love giving back to the community. Being able to provide a service right here in the neighborhood is one of my life's purposes. I thank God everyday for the opportunity to do just that."
