Vote for Royalton Automotive on Fox 8’s Hotlist

If you live in the North Royalton area, or even if you don’t but have had your vehicle serviced at Royalton Automotive – then you need to show your appreciation and vote for them on Fox 8’s 2010 Hotlist!

I have taken my Kia Optima to Royalton Automotive exclusively for the past year, and have never been disappointed.

Think auto repair shops are cold, dirty and lacking personal service, think again! This is one local automotive repair shop that blows all the other places out of the automotive repair industry.

When you walk in the door, you’re greeted by a friendly receptionist and a warm welcome with your name on their whiteboard. You can help yourself to fresh, hot coffee while you wait in their cozy waiting room. Watch TV, relax on their leather sofas, check your email on your laptop because they have free Wi-Fi, and say hello to their resident tabby cat.

Vote today…follow the link above and search for Royalton Automotive they’re are listed under “Best Repair.”
