Brian's Automotive

Brian's Automotive was founded on July 28th, 1975 by Brian Gortney, a life resident of Canton, Ohio. Prior to opening the business, Brian had worked as a mechanic at local Ford, Mazda, and Volvo dealers and was a Volvo Certified mechanic. Earlier, Brian had worked with both his father and grandfather, who were both mechanics since he was a very young boy. Brian's grandfather ran a Sinclair gas station and garage in Dover, Ohio and later built his own 5 car shop with an attached office and machine room. Brian's father, George Gortney, went on to become involved in the auto parts industry as a manufacturers representative and training specialist for major Automotive Corporations, and later became an independent representative for many National Brands of automotive parts. George is currently retired from his business and is running the office as Service Manager at Brian's Automotive. George will be the first to greet you when you enter the office at Brian's Automotive and is always willing to share a lifetime of automotive knowledge.
The shop is extensively equipped with the latest "State of the Art" diagnostic and repair tools, scanners and computer systems and has an on site machine shop.
