Made the drive to Southside Wheels in Jackson — posting notes since this board runs on receipts. They keep around 90 vehicles, mostly hybrids and EVs. They were totally fine with my mechanic doing a once-over, which honestly settles half the trust question.
Lot address: 1358 Greenway Pkwy, Jackson, TN. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Jackson lot gate.
Paper side: licensed with the state (looked it up), about 90% of stock has title in hand per the office, and they offer a 3-month/3,000-mile limited warranty.
Overall: good people to deal with. 14 years in business around hybrids and EVs, doc fee $449 and it's on the window sheet, no games. I'd send a family member there.
