Jim Davis is a true entrepreneur!  A part-time job in high school exposed Jim to the many facets of small business, and in 1979 Jim struck out on his own.  Beginning in a two-bay gas station, Jim founded Eight and Taft Auto Service. By providing exceptional customer service and honest, reasonably priced, “fixed-right-the-first-time” vehicle repairs, his reputation and clientele grew quickly. Davis Auto Care expanded and moved to it’s current location in 1986. In order to provide more convenient service to his customers, a quick oil change, Jim’s Oil Depot, was added in 1993. The most recent addition to this “all inclusive” auto maintenance collection is the Ultimate Image Auto Spa. In additional to maintaining his Automotive Service Excellence Master Certification, and State of Michigan technician credentials, Jim has also attained the degree of Accredited Automotive Manager.  Along with busying himself with the daily business operations, Jim has found time to serve the Northville Chamber of Commerce,  Automotive Service Council and Michigan Automotive Academy.    Jim is a sought-after speaker, sharing his insights and business acumen throughout his industry.  And in his “spare time” Jim enjoys competing in Dog Agility, computers, golf, and playing the piano.  He and his wife of 45-plus years have a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd who often accompany them here at work.
