About Us
About Shoveltown Auto Service
“Your Family Depends On Our Family” is not just a slogan, but a core value.
The Weidman siblings grew up working in their uncle’s auto repair service facility which inspired a deep-seated passion for the automotive industry as well as how to treat people like family.
Patrick Weidman opened their first Franklin repair shop, Grove Street Auto Repair in 1998 with his brother, Bob.
Our goal has always been to provide quality, transparent auto repair while focusing on craftsmanship and an excellent customer service experience. Our five-star reviews demonstrate that we have followed through on that promise for over 25 years.
By providing quality auto repair while focusing on craftsmanship and the customer service experience, Grove Street Auto Repair has become the leading auto repair shop for the Franklin area.
Everything the Grove Street Auto Repair team does revolves around family. They know that when you come to the shop, your family depends on the Grove Street Auto Repair family.
Over the years, the Grove Street Auto Repair family has grown. In January 2024, we opened our second location, Advanced European Repair, after recognizing the need for a local alternative to the European dealerships.
On February 25, 2025, Shoveltown Auto Service became the third shop to join the Grove Street family, serving the communities of Easton, Mansfield, Norton and all Briston County.
Still, the one thing that has always stayed the same is our absolute passion for providing the local community with the highest caliber auto repair and preventive maintenance we can provide. From our service advisors to our auto mechanics, we have the knowledge, skill, and experience to take care of your family’s car for the long haul.
You can rest easy knowing that each technician is ASE-Certified to ensure that their auto mechanics are always equipped to provide quality auto repair to your family. They also each receive, at minimum, 40 hours of continuing training each year.
At each of our shops, you can count on our auto mechanics and service advisors to be honest and upfront with you from the start of your service to its finish.
Our ASE-Certified auto mechanics are eager to take on any and all of your vehicle’s auto repair problems, and we back our work with a 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty.
For over two decades, Grove Street Auto Repair has made it our mission to faithfully provide all communities in each shop’s area with only the best in auto repair and preventive maintenance. This commitment is consistent no matter which location you choose.
Your Family Depends on Our Family ® We want to be your automotive advocate so you can focus on the other things in your life that are important to you while knowing your vehicle will get you wherever you need to be safe and reliably.
