Blue Ridge Automotive has expanded its preventive maintenance offerings at the Marietta location on Whitlock Avenue, introducing structured service packages specifically designed to meet the transportation demands of Cobb County families, youth sports leagues, and local small businesses. The expanded programs at 665 Whitlock Ave SW build on the location's history as the former Whitlock Goodyear, combining decades of community trust with the certified service standards and advanced capabilities of Blue Ridge Automotive - European & Domestic's four-location Metro Atlanta network.

Why it matters

For families navigating school drop-offs, after-school activities, and weekend youth sports seasons across Cobb County, vehicle reliability is non-negotiable. The new preventive maintenance packages at the Marietta location address these concerns, offering oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, battery checks, and multi-point vehicle inspections in straightforward bundles that make it easy for families to stay ahead of costly repairs. The Marietta location has also expanded its capacity for small business fleet services, helping Cobb County's thriving small business community keep their work vehicles roadworthy and compliant.

The details

The Marietta location's approach to family-focused car care starts with predictability. Rather than waiting for warning lights or unexpected failures, the preventive maintenance programs create service schedules aligned with school calendars and seasonal activity peaks. Back-to-school check-ups in late summer, pre-winter safety inspections before cold-weather sports seasons, and spring readiness reviews before summer travel ensure families aren't caught off-guard by vehicle issues at the worst possible times. Service advisors walk customers through a red-yellow-green priority system so families understand exactly what needs attention now, what to monitor, and what can wait.

• The Whitlock Avenue facility was acquired by Blue Ridge Automotive in 2023.
• The expanded preventive maintenance programs and small business fleet services were introduced in April 2026.

What’s next

Blue Ridge Automotive plans to continue expanding its preventive maintenance and fleet services offerings at the Marietta location to better serve the transportation needs of Cobb County families and businesses.
