Any Good Indie Shops in Knoxville, TN area
I posted this in the Southeast region too but I thought I might get answered faster here.
I don't trust the dealerships around here. I use to like Colbach HD in Morristown but I have not been there in years and it is a little out of my way. I would love to find an indie that does great work and knows how to tune.
I do all of the regular maintenance like fluids and stuff like that but I want to put some cams in soon and it would be nice to have someone other than the price gouging dealership to install tires.
THanks for any help.

thanks guys I appreciate it.
I hate being jerked around by the dealership. I called and got a quote on installing a new front tire got $220 out the door so a couple days later I take the scoot down and a different guy is telling me that is going to be $315. I go no it's not are you joking me right now? He tells me well the tire is $180 and then there is an hour of labor. Well the other guy told me the tire was 20% off so they fixed it but I was just amazed and wonder how many people just pay that.

Good to know. Glad I happened on this thread as I've been wondering about local Indie shops as well. Thanks!
That being said, if I do have to interact with a dealer, Smoky Mountain H-D in Maryville gets all of my business. You still have dealer prices, but they are great folks there in my experience. They serve a pretty good lunch at their Stinker's BBQ restaurant/bar too.
