Ron Ananian knows his craft. For over 25 years,
motorists have received quality, honest work with a smile at Ron’s
repair facility, R\A Automotive. "We fix everything but a broken
heart," says Ron. Based in Waldwick, New Jersey, this family-owned
professional service business has been named the best in the country
by CARQUEST Corporation and the New Jersey Automotive Mechanical
Shop of the Year.
It’s all in the family. Growing up, Ron learned some
valuable lessons from his father, a mechanic who serviced President
Franklin Roosevelt’s DC-3 aircraft during World War II. He got the
repair bug helping his father tune up the family car in time for an
annual vacation. "He taught me to respect tools and machines. My
dad, who worked as
the
lead mechanic for American Airlines at LaGuardia Airport, would say,
‘There is a place for everything and everything in its place. Think
your way through the problem, use your head, be precise, select the
right tool for the job and you'll find your way," explains Ron, who
got hands-on experience as a teenager taking apart and repairing
anything mechanical from lawnmowers, motorcycles, and cars to even a
washing machine.
Ron and his capable staff help the motoring public
find the best treatment for a car’s little hiccups and the bigger
ones, too. Crowned the Technician’s Technician by Motor Magazine and
known to millions as Ron Ananian The Car Doctor™ on WOR Radio
Network’s nationally syndicated show, Ron gives motorists helpful
tips on how to avoid repair fraud and deception. Drawing upon over
30 years of repair experience, he tells listeners about even further
changes expected in the evolution of the automobile.
The media has called upon Ron to share his wealth of
mechanical knowledge. He has been a featured expert on ABC’s 20/20,
FOX Television’s Fox and Friends and Court TV and was a long-time
columnist for New Jersey Automotive Magazine. Ron also hosted an
auto repair call-in talk show on New York’s WFAS-AM radio and on DIY
Network’s nationally syndicated program Classic Car Restoration. |
