ESC Auto Group is the parent company for European Service Center and European Motor Cars, which was founded in 1979 by Bob Saladna in his mothers garage back in 1979. Since our humble beginnings we have become the largest independent strictly European Automotive Repair Business in the United States. We have multiple locations in Atlanta, Ga - Dallas, and Houston Texas. Bob Saladna still owns the company and still repairs cars. His love and devotion to exceptional customer service, as well as his team of technicians and managers is second to none. Our technicians are among the highest paid in the industry. Bob believes in creating a small independently owned shop type atmosphere which is why he gives managers the freedom to run their shops as they see fit. However, at the same time ESC has the financial resources to provide big company benefits and the latest diagnostic equipment. ESC provides access to several live support options to help diagnosis the most difficult issues quickly and accurately. We provide company paid diagnostic training as well.
