Quality Auto Repair at a Reasonable Price!

With 40+ years of automotive experience, Steve Hlucky has opened Spring Grove Automotive, 540 E. Liberty St.

His experience level is significant, too, since the Chippewa Lake resident is only 50.

"I was changing oil and rotating tires when I was 10," he said.

He got his automotive start at his father's business, Lucky's Service Center, in Middleburg Heights. Hlucky also worked at Goodyear as the master tech, and at Christian Brothers Automotive.

Spring Grove Auto has been closed since December 2017 when Charlie Costello closed up shop. Hlucky opened its doors in January of 2020 and can fix about anything that comes through his bay doors, including domestic and foreign cars and light trucks.

"It's complete auto care," Hlucky said. "I can do anything."

Well, almost everything. He doesn't work on diesel engines.

"You can't be great at everything," he joked.

His motto will be "Quality Auto Repair at a Reasonable Price."

"There's really nothing I can't do," Hlucky said. "Ability wise, I can fix anything by myself."

That includes oil changes, tire rotations, brakes, shocks — just to name a few.

He remodeled the entire building and workspace that had fallen in disrepair over the years. That includes a comfortable waiting area and bathroom, manned by office assistant Jill Laps.

In Spring of 2021, he added Richard Wakehouse, with 23 years at Goodyear under his belt.
