Service Spotlight Going the Extra mile to maintain Customer loyalty Nick Cannon, owner of Nix Automotive, was speechless when he was told he was voted “Best Auto Mechanic” in the 2020 Muskogee Phoenix Readers’ Choice poll. It was the third nomination for his shop and his first win in the 13 years he’s been open for business. “We try everyday, 100%,” Cannon said. “We do not deviate from 100% every day our feet hit the ground.

We’re gonna try every day like we always have.” Nix Automotive is located at 114 N. C St. between East Okmulgee Avenue and Broadway. Nix Automotive 113 N.
