Having owned his own auto repair shop in Cleveland for fifteen years, Scott Scheid, a native of Hinckley and a current resident of the area, was looking for a location that would be closer to home. When he discovered the property on Northland Drive that had formerly been occupied by Midas Muffler, he knew his search was over. Along with two technicians from his Cleveland shop, Scott opened for business in Medina in July 2001 and named his new shop A+ Automotive. In addition to the obvious advantage in choosing the name A+ Automotive for Yellow Page listings, the A+ is also a comment on the quality of workmanship and service that Scott makes sure his customers receive.

A+ Automotive's motto is, "From tires to engines, we do it all!" and that's an accurate appraisal of the services they offer. They handle minor repairs, major repairs, and practically everything between with the exception of body work. Their shop is equipped with the latest computerized diagnostic tools and scanners that provide detailed information about the mechanical condition of the vehicles they service. Scott tells us that while this equipment gives them in-depth information about each vehicle's condition, the most important part of diagnostics is having technicians who can interpret this data correctly. To make sure they stay up to date with the changing nature of today's vehicles, Scott and his crew attend seminars and are ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified. When this knowledge is coupled with the knowledge gained by many years of experience, you are assured that your work is being performed by automotive experts. A+ Automotive not only provides needed repairs, they're constantly educating their customers about the nature of the repairs so their customers will be able to make intelligent, well informed decisions concerning their vehicle. To help their customers stay on top of their car or truck's maintenance schedule, A+ Automotive employs a computerized system to track their customers' vehicle histories. Their records can provide an accurate listing of when previous work was performed, what the mileage was at the time of repair, and when the vehicle will be due for maintenance again. When it's getting close to the time for another recommended service visit, A+ Automotive sends reminders to their clients to help them stay abreast of their vehicles needs.

A+ Automotive does full vehicle inspections and performs all types of mechanical repair for foreign and domestic cars, light trucks, and small dump trucks. They've even been known to handle the mechanical work on a clients lawn mower or lawn tractor. They perform tune-ups, install brakes and brake lines, fuel lines, and head gaskets in addition to handling oil changes, oil leaks, engine repair, and exhaust system work. Their parts are a combination of parts from original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and a few top quality aftermarket parts. A+ Automotive maintains records the vehicle manufacturers suggested maintenance guidelines and they perform warranty work for many companies. The quality of their parts and labor enable them to offer a one year parts and labor warranty on most repairs. When installing new, factory built engines this coverage extends to three years or 36,000 miles. A+ Automotive also carries a full line of new tires and they can arrange for AAA approved towing twenty-four hours a day.

Scott and his crew have the years of experience and performance that have earned A+ Automotive many commercial accounts in addition to a lot of large job referrals from other technicians who only do minor repairs. "The key to our success is simple," says Scott. "We pride ourselves on repairing the vehicle right the first time!" So the next time you're ready to go but your vehicle isn't, call A+ Automotive and don't forget to tell them that The Advocate sent you!
