About A-Plus Auto Service
Your trusted automotive repair partner since day oneWe're a family-owned auto service center dedicated to keeping your vehicle running safely and efficiently. Our certified technicians combine years of experience with modern diagnostic equipment to deliver reliable repairs and honest service. When you choose A-Plus Auto Service, you're choosing a team that treats your car like our own.


We are A-Plus Auto Service, a family-owned TechNet Professional Center that has been serving families and working professionals throughout South Bend, Mishawaka, Granger, and the Notre Dame area for over 25 years. Located at 3611 N Grape Road in Mishawaka, Indiana, we are not a big-box chain or franchise—we are a locally owned shop where every customer is treated like family and every vehicle is repaired with pride and integrity.Our owner Todd is a lifelong car enthusiast and ASE-certified technician with Ford Master Technician certification and specialized expertise in driveability and electrical diagnostics. His passion for fixing things started as a kid tinkering with lawn mowers, bicycles, and motorcycles, leading to his first professional job at a two-bay gas station in Granger back in 1983. More than 40 years later, that same drive keeps him going every day, finding satisfaction in diagnosing problems and getting vehicles back on the road safely.
We believe you deserve to understand what is happening with your vehicle and why a repair is needed. Todd and our team take the time to explain problems thoroughly in plain language, walk you through your options, and help you make informed decisions about your vehicle. We know that car trouble can feel stressful, especially when you are relying on an older vehicle to get to work, pick up the kids, or handle everyday life.That is why we focus on honest recommendations, fair pricing, and making sure your vehicle is safe before it leaves our shop. We treat every vehicle like it is our own, because we understand how much you depend on it. Our complete diagnostic services help us identify issues accurately, and our comprehensive approach to preventative maintenance keeps your car running reliably for years to come.
As a family-owned business, when you bring your car to us, you are working with people who care about doing the job right, not meeting a sales quota. Our ASE-certified technicians bring more than 70 years of combined experience working on both domestic and foreign vehicles, including light trucks. Whether you drive a Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, or anything in between, we have the training and tools to handle it.As a TechNet Professional Center, every repair we perform is backed by a nationwide warranty covering parts and labor for 3 years or 36,000 miles, honored at any NAPA AutoCare location across the country. Everything we do comes back to one simple goal: fix your vehicle properly and make sure it is safe for you and your family.
