Perryman's Alignment & Auto Repair

This beautiful 2019 Infiniti Q50 is sitting on air suspension and can drop lower than my bank account after a trip to the plant store. 🌿😂

She’s extremely clean, beautifully maintained, and turns heads everywhere she goes.

Thank you, S.S., for your business. We appreciate you trusting Perryman’s!

Have you ever been talking about someone—or a customer—you haven’t seen in a while, and then the very next day they show up at the shop or you run into them at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store? 😀

I’ve had that happen several times over the last five years, so I’m starting to think I might have superpowers. 😂

For the last couple of months, I’ve been saying that before I retire, there was one car I really wanted to see come through the shop—a Plymouth Barracuda. I’ve only known one person who owned a Barracuda in my 62 years, and I always thought it was one of the coolest cars.

Well, with my retirement only weeks away, I pulled into work the other day, and there it was, sitting outside waiting for an alignment.

That’s right—a stunning 1971 Plymouth Barracuda with a 340 V8. 😎

Now, I’m not saying I summoned it… but I’m not saying I didn’t, either. 😂

If I was looking for a sign that it’s finally time to accept that retirement is around the corner, I guess this was it.

The Barracuda has spoken.

Retirement confirmed. LOL. 😂

I asked J.S. how long he had owned this head-turner. He said he purchased it at an auction back in November and has been taking care of her ever since.

Thank you, J.S. for your business and for bringing in the one car I was hoping to see!

I always love seeing a Trans Am come into the shop. It takes me right back to my high school days—when gas was cheap, hair was big, and Caspersen Beach was the place to go with a bottle of Strawberry Boone’s Farm. 😂

Funny how one car can bring back a lifetime of memories.

Thank you J.G. for your repeat business with this 1991 Trans Am.

😀😀😀This is why Perryman’s has been in business for 73 years! Come check us out at 415 North Main Street, Lexington, NC. 😀😀😀

Whenever N.G. calls in for an alignment, I’m always wondering which beautiful classic car he’ll bring this time.

Today it was this gorgeous Triumph TR4. The moment I saw it, I thought of my sister, Rossalyn. She had one “back in the day” and still talks about it.

If Rossalyn sees this post, N.G. may come outside and find one less classic in his driveway. 😂

Thanks for trusting Perryman’s and for your repeat business!

At first glance, this looks like your typical 2019 Ford Transit van. But don’t let the plain exterior fool you—this thing has more travel stories than National Geographic. 😀

She’s traveled to every state in the U.S. except Hawaii. On her latest adventure, she made it all the way to North Dakota and was headed into Canada before a kidney stone decided to launch an attack. When she told me that, I cringed. I’ve had around 14 of those suckers myself, and that’s a level of pain I wouldn’t wish on anybody… well, except people who still doesn’t use a turn signals. 😀

That unexpected passenger sent her back to North Carolina a little sooner than planned.

The real surprise is inside. This van has been transformed into a cozy home on wheels, complete with everything needed for life on the road. The owner did all the interior conversions and it looks amazing. Every nook and cranny was utilized.

After thousands of miles, dozens of states, and one kidney stone mutiny, she stopped by Perryman’s for an alignment before heading off to her next adventure.

That’s living life right there! Thank you “B” for your business. Safe travels! 😀

Empty nest syndrome has hit Perryman’s!

We went on vacation last week, and by the time we got back Monday, all four baby birds had moved out. After weeks of checking on them and rescuing them on several occasions they left without so much as a goodbye note! 😀

Meet our 4 newest customers! 😀

Over the past couple weeks, every time I walked out the back door, a robin would dive-bomb me. I kept thinking, “What in the world is going on?” Turns out, she had built her nest right in between some equipment out back.

After the eggs hatched, every morning we’d go out to check on the babies, and one would be missing. So we’d look around until we found it on the ground. I’d put gloves on and place the baby right back in the nest.

Last Thursday, she dropped the baby in the gravel driveway behind the shop—the same area where we move cars in and out. Luckily, we found it, or it would’ve been smashed. Once again, on went the gloves, and back in the nest the baby went.

And guess what????? After the 3rd save, she hasn’t kicked any more babies out since. I guess she finally got tired of us putting it back and decided to just deal with it. 😀

This morning I crept out there like a thief in the night , being very quiet, trying to peek thru the door crack and dern she heard me and flew out like a rocket. But I got my picture!

I later learned that the momma bird may remove a weaker baby as a natural survival instinct. But not at Perryman’s… we stepped in as “Mother Nature.”

As of today, all four little ones are safe and accounted for.

What a tweet story. 😀

When Purple Rain was written, Prince must’ve been thinking about Perryman’s… because it’s been ‘purple rain’ around here — three purple cars in one week, and that’s a first for us. 😀

John showed up with a super nice and extremely clean Dodge Charger. She’s aligned up and ready to cruise the roads.

Thank you, John, for your repeat business! 😀

All of us at Perryman’s are saddened over the fire in downtown Lexington and the loss of 4 businesses — Bagels on Main, Shoto’s, The Candy Factory, and Main Street Pizza & Deli.

We just had Shoto’s and Main Street Pizza & Deli for lunch last week — meatball subs, steak and cheese subs, teriyaki chicken… delicious! The Candy Factory had the best milk toffee and caramel turtle candies, and the second you walked in the door you were hit with the smell of fresh popcorn popping in that old-time machine. And Bagels on Main — yummy soft bagels, friendly service, and a family favorite for so many people. The turkey/avocado sandwich-Wow! 😀

A lot of families have memories tied to those places. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the owners, employees, families, and everyone affected.
