Hello valued customers and friends, long time or new! A&E is under new ownership. As everyone knows Brian passed away on July 11th due to natural causes. His daughter, Dylan Aplin and right hand man, James Halk have become partners to bring the valley back to ease! The name will change slightly to A&E Automotive LLC and doors will be back open tomorrow, July 20th. We would like to thank customers for bearing with us as we undergo this change and continue to support us.

Would you be willing to pay a $50 reservation fee when scheduling an appointment with us. Of course it would go towards the repair bill if you come in for the repairs. No call, no show lose $50. We have had so many people not show up and not cancel. It's runs the schedule out a few extra weeks and people wind up going elsewhere because they are in a hurry. We would love to keep your business here. I know you are thinking that if you drop your car off at 8 that we should start on it right away. Most days this is possible. We may have cars in the bay from the day before that aren't finished. So we just request they be here by 8. Things are always changing with the daily schedule and we may not get to your car right away. If we can get to it early it helps to have it here earlier than later. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thank you! We really appreciate all of you

Just to let every one know, when you call the shop and James answers, just know he is my right hand man. He is shop foreman/manager. You can talk to him. Give him a chance. He is new at this and is still a little nervous but he will treat you right and take care of you. He’s a great guy and I rely on him a lot. I’m trying to relieve some of the stress and weight on my shoulders. So talk to James. Call today 907-373-5777

We are going to be closed Thursday the 25th to enjoy Thanksgiving with our families. We will return to work Monday. I am so thankful for the crew I have right now. They have worked themselves to the bone. Literally in some cases. They deserve a break. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and have a blessed weekend
