Why Auto Centric?

Auto Centric, one of the five finalists for "Top Shop In The USA" two years in a row, is owned and operated by Tom Ham, who first began working on cars in an Amoco Service Station in 1969. Tom's first job was pumping gas, then changing oil, and eventually, he climbed the ladder to become a mechanic and then to shop owner. He decided to open his own Marathon Service Station in 1978, which was moved to our current location in 2010 and renamed Auto Centric. We are one of the very few shops in the area that people have trusted for over 40 years and counting, and are proud of it!


Today, many people regard Auto Centric as one of the finest shops in the Grand Rapids, MI area.
