WESTERN NC BUILT. LOCALLY OWNED.
Blue Ridge Auto Enhancements was founded right here in Waynesville with one goal: give Western NC truck and SUV owners a shop they can actually trust.
WHY WE STARTED
Blue Ridge Auto Enhancements was built on a lifetime of hands-on automotive experience — not a franchise model or a business plan. This shop exists because the passion for working on vehicles never went away.
We're a locally owned shop. Every job that comes through our doors gets our full attention — whether it's a simple set of running boards or a full custom build. We take pride in doing it right.
We know these mountains. We know what your truck needs to handle the terrain around here. And we know what it means to stand behind our work in a community where your reputation is everything.
HERB'S STORY
Master Technician Certified
Earned by age 21 — Cadillac dealership
Luxury Brand Experience
Cadillac, Chevrolet, BMW & Rolls-Royce
Multi-Dealership GM
Oversaw operations across three dealerships
My automotive career began at just 17 years old as a technician trainee. By 21, I had earned my Master Technician certification while working for a Cadillac dealership. From there, I continued my career with Chevrolet before moving into leadership roles as shop foreman and service manager for a large Cadillac, BMW and Rolls-Royce dealership.
My career eventually took me into general management, overseeing three dealerships — but my real passion has always been the cars themselves.
Over the years, I've built and restored everything from a 9-second quarter-mile T-roadster to classic muscle cars from the 1970s — including Firebirds and Camaros, which remain a personal passion and a specialty of the shop. Even after retiring from the dealership world, I never stopped working on, modifying and improving vehicles.
Blue Ridge Auto Enhancements gives me the opportunity to bring a lifetime of automotive knowledge and hands-on experience back to what I truly love doing. Whether it's a simple accessory installation or a more involved custom project, I approach every vehicle with the same attention to detail and pride in workmanship that has been part of my automotive career from the beginning.
