Austintown Ribbon Cutting
Youngstown- Warren Chamber of Commerce
On October 7, 2020, the dream of an expansion and modernization of our Austintown location came to fruition. For many years the Austintown location battled keeping the waiting area warm in winter and cool in summer along with a door that if the wind kicked up would open on its own.
A decision was made to expand the Austintown location, improve the waiting area, and move the business office to Austintown. On November 28th, 2019, the shovel hit the ground in Austintown and the expansion was started.
We continued to be open for business during this time and our Managers, Service Advisors, and expert technicians, still provided the best possible customer service even with sometimes hearing banging and pounding all day, little to no heat, or sweltering heat and no air conditioning. At one time near the end of the expansion they literally worked out of a very small office meeting the customers outside to obtain their service information.
