Automotive Specialty Services in Avon Ohio knows your vehicle is one of your largest investments. We believe you can MAXIMIZE YOUR VEHICLE'S LIFE AND PERFORMANCE. Whether it's time for a 30,000, - 60,000 or 90,000 mile service, we can handle any and all preventive maintenance and automotive repairs required.
Check the owner's manual to see if your driving habits are considered to be "severe service." This type of driving requires more frequent oil changes, warns the Car Care Council. Have the oil changed accordingly, usually every 3-5,000 miles. For less wear and tear on the engine, drivers in cold climates (sub-zero driving temperatures) should drop their oil weight from 10-W30 to 5-W30.
Since you purchased your new vehicle, dirt, varnishes and carbon deposits have been forming on the fuel injectors, valves, combustion chamber, throttle housing and the air induction intake. These build ups can rob your vehicle of performance, and if left untreated, these build ups can lead to costly repairs.
Failure of the heating and cooling system is the #1 cause of roadside breakdown, which is why heating and cooling system service is such an important part of maintaining your vehicle, especially here in Lorain County Ohio. Your vehicle's engine generates a lot of heat. That heat can be beneficial because it warms up the engine to operating temperature and warms the oil so that it can circulate easily to lubricate vital engine parts. At the same time, if the heating system is not kept under control the engine can overheat and be severely damaged.

I thought long and hard about this review. It's not a knee jerk reaction. I took my car there because of an oil leak, and other check engine light warning signs. I explained thoroughly what was happening. However, I very much got the sense there was more interest in selling flushes etc than there was actually listening. Well I went ahead and got my car repaired.
For $1800. Only for them to not even change the oil. Went back for an oil change and as soon as that was done the lights were flashing again. Towed back to them again. Only to be told the next day the engine needed replaced. So perhaps fine for oil changes, brakes and the basic wear and tear items. But I highly question their diagnostic skills or listening skills. Lesson learned for me, albeit very expensive.

100% recommend, never going to another shop again! My car needed some expensive repairs & the crew over at Automotive Speciality Services helped out tremendously! Not only did they get my car in & out of the shop, but the work is magnificent. My car feels like it's new again! Services: Wheel alignment, Steering & suspension repair

If you want a automotive repair shop that understands service, quality and customer care. this is the place. Starting with he super clean waiting room, to the rental cars and complimentary car wash. For the first time in my life I left feeling good about the repair, myself and work. Give this place a try. great oil change program.

As soon as my vehicle's warranty expired, the check engine light appeared. Literally as we were trying to sell it! The dealer (where we were purchasing my new vehicle) tried to say that we didn't change the oil and that it needed a new engine (it's 3 years old with 28k miles)?! After their suggested $200 oil change didn't fix the problem we took it to Automotive Specialty Services. They diagnosed a faulty oil control solenoid and oil temp sensor (the car already had other sensor recalls). Thanks to them, we got top dollar for my car!

Went to Automotive Specialty Services today for an oil change. I was very impressed with them from the start. Finally a auto service company that understands the meaning of customer service. The staff was as nice on the phone as they were in person. The shop waiting area was clean and welcoming. My vehicle was taken in right away to start the work.
Shortly after, Casey came out and walked me back to the shop bays to show me some things that they found. I did not feel pressured at all to pay for additional repairs. I felt that they really cared about their customers and wanted to make sure I was educated on the issues. I will definitely use them again in the near future. I also enjoyed the cookie they provided as a thank you at check out; it was a nice touch.

I was visiting the area and had my oil pressure light come on. Turns out my oil pressure switch had failed, and the leaking had caused further damage to the system. My girlfriend and I were worried that we may miss a wedding that she was to be a bridesmaid in. We let the team at Automotive Specialty Services know that we had a time restraint and they went above and beyond to make sure we got everything fixed in time for our departure.
They kept me in the loop the whole time, expedited the parts shipping, and even picked the part up from the dealer instead of waiting for them to deliver it at the end of the day. They definitely care about their customers here. Would recommend this shop to anyone.

One of the best, most professional automotive repair facilities in NE Ohio. Have had my cars serviced there over the years and was one of the services I truly missed when I had to move out-of-state for work. They are trust worthy and never try to upsell services, they diagnose the concern and recommend the service as well as the recommended time frame of repair.
I recently took in my F150 in for service (brake inspection) and they did a thorough once over of the entire vehicle. They stated that at this time brake service was not needed, but recommended an alignment. The truck was serviced in a timely manner and the techs kept me informed during the entire process. Professional, caring staff, as well as a great value and they stand behind their work.

Replaced my neutral safety switch/range sensor which a lot of shops wouldn't touch. Only billed me for a half hour.most shops will bill you automatically for a hour even if they only have your vehicle for 20 minutes. I respect that honesty. They also gave me the lowest quote of all the shops I called. Also got a $25 off coupon off my next service. They have a great program you can purchase like 8 oil changes. I will be back again.

Scheduled my oil chamge and i told them when i scheduled i was to wait with my car. When i came they said my wait was going to be 2hrs. In the meantime my son fell in the parking lot and busted his forehead. So i went in explained what happened and the lady didnt bother to ask if he was ok or to offer any bandaide or anything. So i told them i have to reschedule my oil change and that i wanted to wait for my car and she told me they have nothing until the 2nd week of july. I said NEVERMIND! never again

I have driven by Automotive Specialty many times. When my car started making noises AS stood out in my head so I gave them a call and I'm very happy I did. I had a great experience from the beginning to the end. The facility is clean, I was offered a loaner car which was a huge help to me, and the CS is awesome. Thank you Diane (she is very helpful, and sweet), Dave and Bethany. I will be back to have my car serviced again.
