Rod's is a family-owned, full-service repair shop that has served the Medina area since the 1970s.

We are a small, close-knit team with an owner who is present, approachable, listens to technician concerns, invests in equipment, and makes decisions quickly.

Technicians are trusted to use their professional judgment. If you need diagnostic time, additional legitimate labor, or believe a repair should use OE parts, your input matters.

If you're already employed but tired of Saturdays, corporate shop politics, warranty labor, or unfair dispatch, we'd be glad to have a confidential conversation.
