Who we are

Jeff & Brittney Gatlin founded Ultimate Automotive in Slidell, LA, on the Northshore in 2020, driven by a vision to create a better experience for car owners in the community. After gaining years of hands-on experience at reputable auto companies such as Volkswagen, Hyundai, Infiniti, and Tire Kingdom, Jeff grew increasingly frustrated with the inefficiencies, inflated costs, and lack of focus on customer care in the industry. This dissatisfaction inspired him to open his own repair shop, one dedicated to delivering timely, high-quality service at affordable prices while prioritizing the needs of the customers and the community.
