About Our Auto Repair Shop in Starkville, MS
A History of Quality Service Since 2015
From Dreams to Community Service
Watson Automotive began with a simple dream and a bold leap of faith in 2015. When Taylor Watson left his job, he and his wife moved into the back of a small one-bay garage, initially opening as Starkville Speed with hopes of working on hot rods and performance vehicles. However, they quickly discovered that serving families with everyday transportation needs was more fulfilling and the best way to truly support their Starkville community. This pivotal realization shaped their commitment to reliable, honest automotive service that families could depend on. The transition from performance shop to full-service repair facility marked the beginning of Watson Automotive’s reputation for putting community needs first. Through word-of-mouth recommendations and unwavering dedication to quality work, the shop rapidly outgrew its original location, purchasing its current facility at 11449 MS-12 W Starkville, MS 39759 in 2016.
