About Hollin Hall Automotive

Hollin Hall Automotive has served the automotive needs of, and has been committed to the Fort Hunt Community since it was founded by Leon D. Harvey, Sr. in May 1961. Originally a Gulf Oil franchise, it has subsequently been Chevron, Shell, Independent and now branded Shell Oil again! During this entire 50-year history, it has been operated by the Harvey family, and today is owned and operated by Tom Harvey and his wife, Judy. Tom is the third of Leon and Ruth Ann Harvey's seven sons and has worked at Hollin Hall Automotive since December 1963. Tom purchased the business from his mother, Ruth Ann, in 1993. Ruth Ann is still employed at the family business, working the cash register six days a week!

Today, Tom is joined by General Manager Marc Bentlin and his Service Advisor James Allen. Marc brings 24 years of automotive experience and organization to our business, as well as an in-depth knowledge of the automotive industry and a strong European automotive background. James, our "home-grown" staff member, is Hollin Hall's IT specialist. Both are now part of our family, treating you like family!

Hollin Hall Automotive employees have been serving our customers for decades. For over a half-century, many neighborhood kids had their first jobs here. That tradition continues today. We are committed to the service of the 1960s backed by the technology of the new millennium offering the best care and products for your vehicle.

We value your business and hope you find value in our business!
