The First & Last Word On Fuerst Automotive

image

Fuerst Automotive was started in 1968 as a one-man, family-owned auto repair shop serving Broadview Heights. Our family purchased the shop with the goal of building our own business and continuing to provide a valuable service to the community. The best thing about purchasing and owning our own shop is that we can treat people the way we would want to be treated. We also offer our customers over 100 years of combined experience. That is something you can't replicate or replace.

Meet The Owner

"I started working on cars at the age of 15, and currently I am 54 years of age. During high school, I attended Polaris vocational school in my junior and senior years for auto tech. Before graduating, I went on early job placement at a large family-owned Goodyear tire dealer. At that time they ran 18 shops and currently have 39. When I became 18 years of age, they made me a service manager, and I ran a six bay shop.

"I ran that shop for six years, and then my wife, Sheri, and I decided to start our own business. In 1986-1987, we purchased Fuerst Automotive, an already existing automotive repair business, and rented a 1,800 square feet facility, roughly two bays side-by-side. As our business grew, we added a third lift to better accommodate our customers, but we were running out of room!

"One afternoon, I was looking out our front window when I noticed the auto repair shop across the street from us had a ‘going out of business’ sign placed in the window. I immediately grabbed the phone, called my wife, and said this is our chance. I called the owner of the property and made the necessary arrangements. We signed a 5 year lease with option to buy. In 1998, we purchased our building."
