Most Mustang and/or Ford owners who are considered “in the know” have a favorite repair shop and mechanic – especially if their Ford-powered ride happens to be collectible. Living in and around The Motor City is no different. For fervent Mustang owners in Southeast Michigan, few shops carry a more trusted reputation than a small auto service center in Livonia, Michigan, just a few miles outside of Detroit. It’s called Oval Auto, owned and operated by master Ford tech Jeff Schembri and family.Schembri earned his Blue Oval stripes as a Ford dealership mechanic – but he soon learned that his quality work ethic, attention to detail and love for classic Fords could only meet his personal standards if he owned and managed his own shop. So he opened Oval Auto and, over years of hard work, built a loyal following that has owners driving from hours away just to get their ride repaired right. Highly skilled, knowledgeable and honest work at a fair price is Oval Auto’s calling card – and it’s a place where Jeff appreciates the cars as much as he does his customers.

While Oval Auto says it specializes in Ford, Lincoln & Mercury, its service bays are always filled with classic and high-performance Mustangs whose owners will gladly wait their turn to have their ride at a shop that can do just about anything for any year Stang. Podcast co-hosts John Clor and Mike Rey both have had their personal Mustangs worked on here, as well as their daily-driver Ford cars, SUVs and trucks. Schembri is more than a friend – he’s also an enthusiast owner who participates in the local Mustang community hosting cruise-ins and sponsoring clubs. But once year at the end of summer, he invites his loyal customers to a private car show that he holds on his home’s expansive backyard property – complete with a food truck, free event tees, custom trophies and hundreds of dollars in prizes. It’s his way to say Thank You.

This year, both John and Mike (along with their wives) were able to stop in at the event, as well as photojournalist Bill Cook, who is also an Oval customer that happened to bring his camera to the show. In this episode, you’ll get an inside look at some of the great customer Mustangs that we saw at this private gathering, as well as be amazed at the sheer number of SVT “Terminator” Mustang Cobras that seemed to outnumber just about any other model that Bill had photographed on that sunny fall afternoon. Enjoy!
