Hi, We're Tolman

The Mechanic Who Answers The Phone

Jess Tolman started fixing friends' cars in her parents' driveway in Plaza Midwood, then spent six years at a Charlotte dealership. She started Tolman because people kept telling her the worst part of car trouble was losing a whole day to it. Today two vans cover the city, and the person who answers the phone is usually the one who comes to fix your car.

  • ✓Charlotte owned since 2019
  • ✓Two vans, same-day most days
  • ✓Kind, clear and on time

I called at nine because my car wouldn't start. Jess was in my driveway by eleven with a new battery and a starter test, and she was so nice to my kids who wanted to watch.

Brakes done in my office parking lot in South End while I was in meetings. They texted me photos of the old pads and the price never changed.

Check engine light the day before a road trip. They came out that afternoon, found a bad sensor and fixed it. We left on time.
