The story of Indian Land Imports:
Terry started his career working for Toyota more than 20 years ago after graduating with a degree in automotive repair. He worked alongside his father at the dealership before his father retired. Terry expanded his knowledge base to include Lexus when he went to work for a dealership nearby and was employed there for seven years. He always dreamed of owning his own business so that he could provide that one-on-one relationship with his customers. He always wanted to be “Your Hometown Mechanic”. After years of dreaming about it, he finally opened Indian Land Imports March 1, 2010.

He began to build his business from the ground up and word spread quickly about the quality of work he provided, his “downhome” feel, and especially his trustworthiness. Terry has always known how important customer satisfaction and honesty is from his early beginnings working in the dealership and he has continued to strive to make everyone he meets a happy customer. He has always thought that it was important that each customer feels confident in his performance and just as important that the customer has a clear understanding of what may be wrong with their car. He explains the diagnosis, the needed repair(s), and the cost associated with those repairs. Terry wants each person to feel like they are family when they bring their vehicles in to Indian Land Imports and he wants everyone to call him their “Hometown Mechanic”.
Terry is excited to announce that the shop will be moving to Van Wyck within the next few months to a new location that will provide more space and the ability to add more staff and more vehicles to their repertoire. It is an amazing design that he believes his customers can enjoy and the community can be proud of.
Terry has been married to Gina for more than 20 years and they have 2 children, Jake (Brianna) and Brynna. They also have 3 dogs, Beau, Riggs, and Willow, whom you will more than likely meet at the shop. Terry is originally from Stanfield, North Carolina and Gina is from Fort Mill, South Carolina. Terry and Gina have lived in Indian Land for more than 20 years and have watched the growth of the area blossom into what it is today. Gina is a forensic nurse who works with victims of crime in multiple areas of the state. Terry enjoys NASCAR races, camping, antique shopping, grilling, and spending time with his family.
“We are blessed and grateful beyond measure for the support of our families, staff, and customers for being such an integral part of our family and our dream. Without that support, we would never be where we are. We will strive to be the best of the best for all of our customers and for our community.” Terry and Gina
