Oxford Automotive was founded in 1979 with a commitment to providing honest automotive repair solutions. Owner James Church joined his father in 1991 and continues that legacy today by hiring skilled technicians dedicated to integrity and quality service. James is an ASE Master Technician, certified in all eight areas, and also holds an L1 Advanced Engine Performance certification.
Clear communication is at the core of everything we do. Our team will explain the services your vehicle needs to remain reliable and safe, provide an estimate before any work begins, and outline any potential variables so you can make informed decisions about your vehicle.
Our RootsOxford Automotive began on a 55-acre farm in Oxford Township, where Richard and Nancy Church raised their family. After years of farming and repairing vehicles for friends and neighbors, Richard transitioned to full-time automotive repair in 1979. Working out of a single service bay, he built a reputation for hard work, honesty, and fixing problems the right way—no matter the effort required. His dedication earned the trust of the community and laid the foundation for what Oxford Automotive is today.
From Father to SonJames Church began working alongside his father after graduating from Buckeye Valley High School in 1991. Those early years shaped both his technical skills and his values. He earned his ASE Master Technician certification in 1996 and has continued to pursue advanced training to stay current with evolving automotive technology. In 2000, James took over the business, continuing the family tradition of honest service and strong community ties.
