Four Generations of History at J.E. Hitt Garage
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 of Weston. In the early 1950’s, he purchased land for the developing business in Deanville of Weston, the current location of the garage.
In 1971, Red handed the company down to his son, James E. (Jim) Hitt. Jim expanded J.E. Hitt Garage by adding 24-hour towing services, a mechanic shop, and a body shop. Jim operated the business until his retirement in 1992.
Upon retirement Jim’s son, Timothy N. (Tim) Hitt, became the third-generation owner. Under Tim’s stewardship, the business 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 the addition of a full-service auto detail shop.
Currently, J.E. Hitt Garage is owned and operated by Tim’s daughter, the fourth-generation owner, Cortney (Hitt) Harris and husband, David. Cortney and David carry on the J. E. Hitt Garage tradition of quality work and excellent customer service.
