THE RUNDOWN
Situated at 1660 Huron Church Road in Windsor, Huron Automotive Services is a fine example of bringing global practices to a local market. Sina Naebkhil and Jose Cornejo purchased the business in August 2022 from former owner Archie Sarros, who opened it in 1995 (recently honoured with a Community Service Plaque for over 25 years of service to the automotive repair industry). On August 1, 2025 the pair held an Open House to celebrate their nearly $1 million investment to upgrade the auto centre. “This day is not only a chance for us to give back to our community, but also a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come — together,” they state. “Over the past few years, we’ve made it our mission to modernize and re-imagine our facility — not only to better serve our community, but to reflect the future of automotive repair.” Some of the highlights of the work they have done include: fully renovating the entire facility, inside and out; digitizing their repair process so customers see what they see, giving them real-time updates, transparency, and control; integrating automated, self-running equipment that reduces strain on technicians and makes the shop accessible to people of all abilities; investing in EV-ready technology to serve the next generation of vehicles; forming strategic partnerships with trusted brands like Castrol and Krown Rust Protection and Building supplier relationships that allow them to offer nationwide peace of mind, whether their clients stay local or travel across North America.
