Graham Auto Repair

  At Graham Auto Repair weekends are the time to relax. We know how hard you work during the week, especially in the automotive industry. Our team puts a ton of energy into everything they do here! We want our team to know they aren't going to get an unexpected phone call on the weekend. You know the call: asking you to give up your weekend to cover someone's shift. Why are we closed on the weekend? We have heard this question a few times. We understand it would be convenient for our customers if we were open every day. But we value our team as much as we value our customers. We know everyone needs time over the weekend to rejuvenate. Including you! Instead we have other convenient options for our customers. We have courtesy pick-up and drop-off for our local customers. We have courtesy loaner cars that can be scheduled in advance. We also have a locked key-box for after-hours. Our customers can drop off their vehicles early in the morning before work, or in the even ... read more

At Graham Auto Repair we have 24 Team Essentials. These are words we live by. We use these essentials in the way we communicate with each other on a daily basis. If we see someone who is exemplifying one of our essentials, we celebrate! Likewise, if someone is struggling with one of our essentials - we use that as an opportunity to communicate and grow. One way that we celebrate success is by giving each other Stars! “Integrity is not about convenience. It’s an unwavering commitment to do the right thing in every action and every decision we make; even when no one’s looking. Make decisions that build strong, trusting relationships.” Let’s talk about Essential #1: Integrity Sadly, the Automotive Industry has not always been known for its Integrity. Whether we are talking about automotive sales, insurance, repair, or maintenance: there is an underlying fear that you may be taken advantage of. At Graham Auto Repair it is our goal to change that, one se ... read more
