About Our Shop in Murray, KY
Our Story — Harlan Automotive
Where Customers Come First
Mike Harlan, owner of Harlan Automotive, is a graduate of Calloway County High School and Murray State University. His passion for cars began when he started working on his own 1973 Chevrolet Camaro, which ultimately led to a full-fledged passion for all things automotive and the opening of Harlan Automotive in 1991. Seven years later, Mike expanded the business and found Harlan Automotive a new home at 408 North 4th Street in Murray. We have proudly served Murray and the Calloway County area for more than 20 years. At Harlan Automotive, you're guaranteed the same level of care of service that we give our own families and their vehicles.
In the Community
Harlan Automotive has been a member of the Murray business community and Murray Chamber of Commerce for many years. Mike is passionate about service and giving back to his community, whether it be sponsoring a local sports team, a local charity run, or Toys for Tots. Most recently, Harlan Automotive sponsored Murray's annual Run4Another 5k and Mike went on a mission trip to Nicaragua with his church where he and the team made much needed repairs to one of the schools. It is always a top priority for our team to find new ways to give back and support this great community.
