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. At the same time the business was growing, and the business office was bursting at the seams in the Youngstown location.

A decision was made to expand the Austintown location, improve the waiting area, and move the business office from Youngstown to Austintown. On November 28^th, 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.

Our expansion is loved by all. Our long-time customers enjoy the improvements, our new customers love the modernization and cleanliness. Our staff enjoys having windows they can see out of and having plenty of room for all the paperwork that comes with having 3 locations.

Halloween FUN!

We had a wonderful time being a part of trick or treat this year. We were at Eastwood Field in Niles and Austintown Township Park in Austintown. We were able to reconnect with some old customer and friends AND give out a lot of great coupons. Oh, and some candy of course! Can't wait for next year.
