If you’re any­thing like my boyfriend, Michael, your main goal while dri­ving is to be the fastest car on the road. A Honda guy since he got his license, a few months ago he decided it was time for a new car — and he chose the Sub­aru WRX with some after­mar­ket upgrades. The prob­lem? Honda’s and Subaru’s are pretty dif­fer­ent cars and the WRX he pur­chased hap­pened to need some upkeep and atten­tion just months into the pur­chase. It just so hap­pened that the pre­vi­ous owner did some of the mod­i­fi­ca­tions a lit­tle (how should I say it?) half-assed, and Michael was stuck with a car he didn’t know how to work on.

Of course we tried the obvi­ous, took the car to Sub­aru, took it to the Toy­ota deal­er­ship he bought it at – but it was pretty clear that he needed to find a place spe­cial­iz­ing in after­mar­ket mods. Luck­ily for Michael, a trip to AdvancedAuto for some head­lights lead him to the per­fect shop for his car – Full Boost Tuning.

Located on Alcoa High­way, Full Boost is a per­for­mance shop spe­cial­iz­ing in imports. The shop opened just over a month ago, and already owner Nick is busy increas­ing the horse­power of numer­ous cars, includ­ing Michael’s WRX (now at about 500HP).

Aside from the fact that Nick’s really rea­son­able when it comes to pric­ing, he is also really expe­ri­enced when it comes to cars, and I’m con­vinced there’s not any­thing he can’t fix. (A grad­u­ate of Uni­ver­sal Tech­ni­cal Insti­tute, he most recently worked at Nis­san before decid­ing to go in busi­ness for him­self.) Not to men­tion, he’s a really nice guy!

So if you’re feel­ing the need for speed, call Full Boost at (865) 249‑7591 or head over to 3022D Alcoa High­way, behind SHA Auto­mo­tive. And if you hap­pen to see a black WRX in the park­ing lot, say hi to my boyfriend for me.
