Customer Care is Job #1

Post Auto / Palanges Automotive is a locally, family-owned and operated automobile and light truck repair shop. We’ve been in business for nearly 30 years under the name Palanges automotive, we still have the name, but Mr Palange has since retired. Shane Post who has worked with Mr. Palange since the 1990’s has taken over. The same care and respect still can be found at Post Auto.

We always strive to provide the best and most economical service that can only be found here in Northeast Ohio.

What We Do

AC & Heating
There is nothing worse than driving in a hot car on a summer day with no air conditioning, or no heat on a freezing winter morning! We will provide an Inspection of the HVAC system to find the exact cause of the problem. We will also inspect all air conditioning-related components for leaks or damage. A check for proper operation of the air conditioning compressor and other components prior to service will be performed, as well as testing lines, hoses, seals and other system components for leaks.
Batteries, Starting & Charging
Most batteries last no more than 5 years. With constant temperature changes that occur under the hood, your battery resides in an extreme environment. Load testing your battery to confirm that it still holds the proper charge is important to normal service. We use high-quality Interstate batteries with excellent warranties, and keep all popular sizes in stock .We also dispose of the old battery in a way that is safe for the environment. Starters and alternators are checked as part of the electrical system, you will receive a full system check to ensure the integrity of the starting and charging system.
Belts & Hoses
Each time your oil is changed, it is important to inspect your drive belts and hoses and have them replaced as needed. Constant temperature changes and wear causes small cracks in your belts and hoses. These cracks can lead to bigger problems if left unnoticed. If you hear concerning noises coming from under the hood, it is time to have Post Auto determine where the problem exists before a minor problem leads to a major breakdown…and more expensive repairs.
Brakes & ABS
Your vehicle’s brake and ABS system involves highly engineered parts and precise movements that stop your vehicle. Over time, friction and heat has the potential to wear down the brake shoes, brake pads, calipers, brake rotors, and other braking components. ABS speed sensors and traction control components have the potential to fail as well. Without these systems functioning correctly, your vehicle could lock up brakes or lose traction in situations that require the vehicle’s assistance to keep you safe. The braking system is the most important system on your vehicle, if you are having any symptoms of brake problems like squeaking, squealing, grinding, or pulsating, have us check out your vehicle as soon as possible.
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
A check engine light being illuminated can indicate an issue that should not be ignored. If your check engine light is on, it should be addressed as soon as possible to avoid additional problems that could possibly leave you stranded. From failing sensors to engine and transmission problems, Post Auto can accurately diagnose and repair complex issues in your vehicle.
Oil Changes & Maintenance
Getting regular oil changes is the absolute easiest thing you can do to extend the life of your car and save yourself from the inconvenience of breakdowns and repairs. As part of routine maintenance, oil changes are essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. In addition to allowing your automotive repair professional to inspect your vehicle for potential issues, oil changes help keep the internal moving parts of your engine clean & lubricated, allowing for a smoother, quieter ride. Your owner’s manual includes the maintenance schedule for your vehicle. The manufacturer has worked out a detailed schedule of the services your car needs to keep it on the road and running smoothly for a long time. Sticking to the maintenance schedule put forth by the manufacturer will drastically increase the lifespan of your car.
Exhaust Systems
When exhaust systems fail, it’s not only loud, it can be dangerous for the health of the vehicle’s occupants of the vehicle and bad for the environment. Located on the underside of your vehicle, the exhaust system is responsible for collecting and directing harmful emissions away from the vehicle, reducing the amount of pollutants released into the environment, and minimizing engine exhaust noise. Engines produce dangerous gases as a byproduct of the combustion process. If the vehicle you drive is loud, rattling, or producing excessive exhaust smells, bring it in to have us take a look to see if you require exhaust system repair.
Scheduled Maintenance
All vehicle manufacturers provide recommended maintenance schedules for various vehicle use conditions such as normal, severe for cold weather, short trips, or towing. Performing proper maintenance is not only critical to keeping the vehicle operating properly and reliably for as long as possible, it is also required to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty on the vehicle. Post Auto specializes in this maintenance, and we can assist our customers in keeping track of required maintenance and sending reminders when the vehicle is due. Car dealers will sometimes deceive vehicle owners by telling them that the maintenance and repairs must be made by the dealer in order to be performed correctly and or to maintain the warranty.
Shocks & Struts
Shocks and struts play a crucial role in keeping your vehicle in proper contact with the road. This will give you a safe & smooth ride. These should be regularly inspected along with your normal maintenance. Waiting too long to have your shocks & struts checked can cause damage to other suspension and steering components as well as compromise the safe operation of the vehicle.
Steering & Suspensions
The suspension system in your vehicle is vital to its function. As you travel down the road, your vehicle sustains forces, vibrations and inertia. The vehicle must be finely balanced for the frame to withstand all of this. The steering and suspension systems in your vehicle are complex, and problems with one of these systems may also negatively affect other systems of your vehicle.
Tires & Wheel Alignment
Is your vehicle pulling to the left or right? Is your steering wheel crooked when driving straight? How is the wear on your tires? Does it seem excessively rapid or uneven? Driving on badly maintained roads & hitting potholes or curbs can cause alignment issues. Keeping your vehicle’s wheels properly aligned ensures optimal drivability. This will help your tires to last longer & help you have a smoother drive. It can also help with fuel economy, as your car will require less energy to keep going. If you want to keep your tires lasting longer and have better fuel economy, make sure to keep your vehicle properly aligned. Uneven tire wear may be due to mechanical problems like a misaligned suspension. On average, tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles and more frequently for high performance tires. See Post auto for all your tire needs, we offer a wide array of tire brand choices. Be it a flat repair, tire mounting and balancing, or a brand new set of tires to keep you rolling safely, Post auto has you covered.
Wiper Blades & Motors
Windshield wiper blades are one of the most neglected safety items on vehicles today. Many wiper blades are cracked, split, torn, brittle, worn, or otherwise in poor mechanical condition when it comes time for them to clean your windshield. Worn wiper blades are dangerous. Because 90% of your driving decisions are based on a clear, unobstructed view of the road, it’s a critical safety concern that your car’s wipers provide you with the cleanest windshield possible.
