This October, get a good deal while keeping your brakes in great repair at Eric’s Auto and Tire Service.

“With the Brakes for Breasts promotion, you receive free brake pads when replacing rotors. Eric’s Auto and Tire will then donate 10% of the total brake repair bill to The Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund,” explains Ryan Pohlman, Owner of Eric’s Auto and Tire Service. “This is a widely recognized program around Ohio and the nation, which benefits the customer as well as the research fund.”

            Eric’s Auto and Tire Service works to give back to the local community, given that they are family-owned. The Pohlman family has been in the business of car repair for more than 40 years, since Ryan’s grandfather opened his first shop in 1963.

            “Everybody is affected by this good cause. It’s always good for local businesses to contribute any way they can to help. We like giving the consumer a reward too,” says Pohlman.

            Eric’s Auto and Tire Service strives to always value integrity in their interactions with customers; they recognize that the ultimate decision lies in your hands, but they want you to have all the information.

            “Being honest with the customer is important; we present everything we find to inform the customer to the best of our knowledge,” says Pohlman. “We want to let them make the proper decision about what to fix.”

            Eric’s Auto and Tire Service works on all makes and models of cars, and their technicians are all ASE certified to provide excellent car service. They also offer a variety of tires to suit the needs of their customers.

            “All your dollars are staying local here rather than being shipped out of town,” says Pohlman. “Being family-owned and operated, we put money back into the local community, which is really nice.”
