About Us

New Owners. Same Trusted Service. 

For more than 30 years, A&R Automotive has been committed to providing honest, reliable automotive repair to our community. While the ownership has recently changed, the service you know and trust hasn’t. 

When longtime owners Al and Noreen were ready to retire, they wanted to make sure the shop stayed true to the values it was built on. Rather than selling to someone unfamiliar with the business, they chose to pass A&R Automotive to someone they trusted—Mark Ryland. 

Mark isn’t new to the shop. He started here as an apprentice over 20 years ago and has been the mechanic customers have trusted ever since. Today, as the new owner, he’s still the one working on your vehicle, bringing the same honesty, experience, and care that customers have relied on for decades. 

Joining him is his daughter, Zoe Ryland, who is focused on making every visit to A&R Automotive as welcoming and convenient as possible. From refreshing the waiting room to updating the website, and adding thoughtful touches like a better coffee station, her goal is to enhance the customer experience while keeping the heart of the business exactly the same. 

Honest Repairs, Every Time 

We believe vehicle repairs should be straightforward and honest. Our philosophy is simple: fix what’s needed, explain what we’re doing, and never recommend repairs you don’t need. 

Whether you’re visiting for routine maintenance or a more complex repair, you can expect the same trusted mechanic, honest advice, and quality workmanship that have been part of A&R Automotive for over two decades. 

Meet Skye 

You’ll also meet the newest member of the A&R Automotive family—Skye! 

At just 11 months old, Skye loves meeting new people and is helping us continue our tradition of being a pet-friendly shop. She’ll usually be at the shop whenever Zoe is, although she’s often kept in the office while customers are coming and going to make sure everyone feels comfortable. 

She may have a big bark when she hears the door open, but it’s only because she’s excited to say hello. If you’d like to meet her, just ask! 

We also keep treats on hand for Skye and for any friendly four-legged visitors who stop by with their owners. 

Looking Ahead 

While we’re making improvements to the customer experience, one thing will never change: our commitment to honest service, quality repairs, and treating every customer with respect. 

We’re proud to continue the legacy that’s been built over the past 30 years, and we look forward to serving our community for many years to come.
