D & S Automotive

Known for both van conversions and auto body repair, D&S Automotive has been a mainstay on Tyler Boulevard, and in the Mentor community, since it first opened in 1977. Although D&S was not the first body shop in Lake County, it has been serving the Mentor community for many years as one of the longest tenured local businesses in the area.

Founded by Mr. Carmen Paterniti, D&S began as a vision that quite successfully became a reality. Originally a van conversion company, D&S modified full-size vans into the highly-desired "hippie vans" of the 1970s.
