Meet Jeff Schembri
Owner & Master Mechanic
Jeff Schembri opened Oval Auto in 2001 on Plymouth Road in Livonia, Michigan, with a simple promise: honest work at fair prices, fixed right the first time. Over two decades later, that promise hasn't changed.
With deep expertise in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, Jeff has built a reputation that extends far beyond Metro Detroit. Customers regularly drive from Cleveland, Toledo, and across the Midwest because they trust Jeff's diagnosis and craftsmanship.
Jeff personally oversees every job and sends photo updates during service so you always know what's happening with your vehicle. Along with team member Claudia, who customers consistently praise for her amazing service, Oval Auto treats every customer like family.

"When I couldn't find a local Ford specialist in the Cleveland area, I decided to drive my Ford Flex the 4 hours one way to this shop in Livonia Michigan. Jeff was recommended by a member of a Flex Facebook group. Not only was the BIG job done but Jeff also did several other smaller items and found a problem with the struts and fixed those too! Couldn't be happier!"

"I have had many cars over the last 40+ years and have taken my cars in for service several hundred times. The service was the absolute best in my life. Timely, informative, competent and honest. What would have taken weeks at a dealer, took 36 hours at Oval. Claudia was amazing."
