There's a Story Behind the Car in Our Lobby...

If you've visited American Five Star Auto Repair & Transmission, you've probably noticed this beauty sitting in our waiting room.

But there's a reason it's here.

This car belongs to one of our customers. Eric spent years assembling it, but before the customer could take it home, he became ill and needed time to recover.

So, what do you do with a customer's car while you wait?

You could charge storage fees.

Eric had a different idea.

He moved the car into our waiting room, where it became part of American Five Star—and a pretty great backdrop for photos—while the owner focused on getting well.

No storage fees. No pressure.

Just one customer taking care of another.

Because after more than 30 years in business, we've learned that auto repair isn't really about cars.

It's about people.

And sometimes taking care of someone's car is simply another way of taking care of them.
