About Mountain Top Diesel Repair
Mountain Top Diesel Repair LLC is a locally owned diesel repair business serving Class 8 trucks and trailers from its location on Tennessee-28 in Whitwell, Tennessee. Built from the ground up by owners Zach and Charlye Daughtrey, this family-run shop was created to meet a real need in the valley: honest, reliable diesel mechanics that local truck owners, fleets, and owner-operators can count on.
Before launching Mountain Top Diesel Repair, Zach spent years turning wrenches on heavy machinery and trucks, including extensive experience at McKee Bakery maintaining their truck fleet. When one of the area’s best-known diesel mechanics stepped back, there was a gap in the market. Zach and Charlye stepped in to give the community a trusted diesel mechanic with a reputation for integrity, straightforward communication, and quality work.
The company started as a fully mobile operation, providing on-site and roadside diesel repair throughout the valley. As demand grew, they added a permanent shop location at 19381 TN-28 in Whitwell while maintaining mobile capabilities. Today, Mountain Top Diesel Repair serves customers along the TN-28 corridor, including Whitwell, Dunlap TN, and much of Sequatchie County and Marion County, helping keep local trucks and trailers on the road and working.
Family-Owned, Community-Focused
Mountain Top Diesel Repair is very much a family business. As Zach and Charlye describe, you will see their children at the shop with them most days, learning what it means to help others, make new friends, and serve the local community. Regular customers know that the kids are often the first to greet them and strike up a conversation.
The Daughtreys started the company not only to meet a need for diesel repair in the valley, but also to build a business that gives them flexibility as parents and allows them to show their children firsthand what hard work, service, and entrepreneurship look like.

Experience & Background
Zach has over a decade of hands-on experience turning wrenches, including more than seven years focused specifically on heavy machinery and trucks. His time at McKee Bakery provided in-depth exposure to fleet maintenance, systems diagnostics, and the importance of reliability for trucks that must run day in and day out.
That experience, combined with the lessons learned from growing Mountain Top Diesel Repair from a mobile-only business into a shop-and-mobile operation, gives customers confidence that their diesel equipment is in capable hands.

Meet the Owners
Mountain Top Diesel Repair LLC is owned and operated by Zach and Charlye Daughtrey. As young parents and entrepreneurs, they launched the business in the spring of 2022 to fill a need for dependable diesel repair in the valley while building a future for their family.
Their children are often at the shop, greeting customers and watching firsthand what it means to work hard, serve others, and be part of the local business community. For many regulars, the family atmosphere is a big part of why they keep coming back.
Community Involvement & Values
From the beginning, Zach and Charlye have emphasized honesty, integrity, and service. When a well-known local mechanic stepped back, there was concern in the valley about where to go next for trustworthy diesel work. Mountain Top Diesel Repair stepped into that gap to provide:

- A local shop that understands how critical uptime is for truck owners and fleets.
- Flexible service options, including mobile repair and a permanent shop location.
The Daughtreys look forward to continuing to serve the community, growing the business, and adapting as new challenges and opportunities arise.
