At Automotive Specialty Services, we believe a great shop is built on more than just diagnostic tools and torque wrenches; it’s built on people. For over 30 years, we’ve been proud to call Avon/Avon Lake home, and we’re committed to fueling the community that has fueled us for three decades.

While we take full-service auto repair seriously, we take our relationships with our family, friends, and neighbors even more seriously—and as you’ll see from these photos, not too seriously at times! 🙂

Below, you’ll find a look at our life outside the service bays—from our latest contributions to local causes and community events to the birthdays and team-bonding moments that keep our spirits high.

💗 3,178 Thank Yous for Supporting Brakes for Breasts!

We are so grateful to all of you who supported our Brakes for Breasts initiative this past October. We are proud to announce that we were able to write a GIANT check to Brakes for Breasts this year of $3,178.60

This fundraising effort started in 2011 with 5 automotive repair shops in the Cleveland, Ohio area including Automotive Specialty Services, and has now evolved to incorporate hundreds of shops in the United States and Canada. Since then, these shops have collectively raised over $1.8 million and counting, making Brakes for Breasts the largest third-party fundraising entity at the Cleveland Clinic.

More importantly, Brakes for Breasts has become an integral partner of the effort to develop the first vaccine designed to prevent triple negative breast cancer, the most aggressive and lethal form of this disease.

Thanks to all of you, Phase 1a trials are ongoing and Phase 1b trials have been announced!

Thanks too, to our team, who, as you can tell from the photo, truly care deeply about the success of this fundraiser.
