Their prices are based on the parts. Can't buy the whole vehicle unfortunately. It's usually pretty fair for most vehicles' parts.

Not yet.  I looked at their web site and couldn't find any info on it, but if you look at their open jobs, there are several in Chattanooga.  I sent them an email asking when they planned to open . . . haven't got a response yet.
