Many of you know the auto repair shop that you love and trust, as “BA Auto Care.” However, some of you may not know how this name originated or what the B and A stand for. No, it’s not boots and aerials, or brilliant and amazing (although that would be fitting!)

Almost 10 years ago now, we made the decision to change the shop’s name to BA Auto Care, from its previous name British American. The name was originally British American because it offered quality service to both British and American vehicles. But as the auto care shop evolved and started servicing more types of vehicles, we found that this name was no longer fitting.

It became misleading, implying that we worked on only British and American vehicles, when we now service almost all automobile makes and models, including Asian, European, and American, gas, electric, and hybrid vehicles.

BA Auto’s name and the services have evolved over the years, but we’ve always had the same goal of providing honest, high quality service, and looking out for you and your car!
