J.E. Hitt Garage was established in 1946 by James E. (Red) Hitt. He started the business as a salvage yard and used parts center located in Shady Brook, Weston. In the early 1950’s, he purchased land for the business in 1971 and handed the company down to his son, James E. (Jim) Hitt. Jim started expanding J.E. Hitt Garage and added 24-hour towing services, a mechanic shop, and a body shop. Jim operated the business until his retirement in 1992. He then handed the garage down to his son, Timothy N. Hitt, the third-generation owner. Under Tim’s stewardship the shop continued to grow with the addition of the top-of-the-line alignment shop, an upgraded body shop to include a state-of-the-art paint booth, and a recently opened full-service auto detail shop.  Now the 4th generation David and Cortney Harris carry on the J.E. Hitts tradition for quality work and excellent service.  

In January 2000, J.E. Hitt Garage received the governor’s millennium small business award for demonstrating leadership and success in West Virginia’s small business community. In January 2001, J.E. Hitt Garage earned the certificate of achievement of 55 years of continued growth and customer satisfaction. Then, in November 2007, we became a Limited Liability Company and expanded the garage to include 10 additional employees in our family business. Over the years, J.E. Hitt Garage has become the one-stop shop for all auto repair and servicing needs. We take the time to ensure the safety and satisfaction of our customers.
