The owner of Craig Automotive on Lower Roswell Road announced over the weekend that the business has closed, after 26 years.
A social media message written on behalf of owner Tom Craig said that he is retiring, and that a sale will be held this weekend for all of the garage equipment.
The shop specialized in repairs and maintenance for Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
“It is with a heavy heart we are closing the doors to Craig Automotive. With that being said we also say cheers and hello retirement!,” the message stated.
“What started as a small shop grew into much more than a business—it became a place built on trust, hard work, and relationships that I will always be grateful for. I’ve had the privilege of working on your first cars, your family vehicles, and sometimes even your kids’ cars years later. That kind of loyalty and connection is something I never took for granted.”
The equipment sale will take place Friday from 10-3 and Saturday from 9-2 at Craig Automotive (4750 Lower Roswell Road). The items include balancers, a hydraulic press, frion machine, a brake lathe, office equipment and more, and interested buyers are asked to bring cash.
“Thank you for trusting me with your vehicles, for your conversations in the shop, for your referrals, and for allowing me to do what I love right here in East Cobb for over two decades,” Tom Craig’s message continued.
“This community supported me through good times, tough times, and everything in between, and I am deeply thankful for every customer who walked through my doors. While I may be closing this chapter, the memories, friendships, and pride in the work we did here will stay with me forever.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you, East Cobb. It’s been an honor to serve you.”
There also will be a retirement party at the Craig Automotive location Friday, Jan. 16 from 4-7 p.m.
