38 businesses in Memphis have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 28 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 74 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.

Memphis sees about 72 days a year at 90°F or hotter. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.

It freezes on about 44 nights a year here. Not many, but the first cold snap is when a weak battery shows itself, so test it in the fall.

About 55 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.

The average commute in Memphis is 21 minutes each way, and 76% of workers drive there alone.
