About Us
Locally Owned. Community Trusted.
Tough Knuckles Automotive is a family-owned auto repair shop in Holland, OH, owned and run by Corey and Ashley Adams. We bring 30+ years of automotive experience to every car that comes through the door, with a special focus on electrical work — alternators, starters, wiring, and hard-to-find faults.
Our Story
Real Fixes, Explained in Plain Words
Corey and Ashley Adams opened Tough Knuckles Automotive to do car repair the way it should be done: fix the real problem, charge a fair price, and tell you what is going on in words that make sense.
Corey has spent more than 30 years under the hood. Over that time he got known for the jobs other shops did not want — dead batteries that were not really the battery, wiring gremlins, no-start problems, and alternator and starter rebuilds. That is still the work we love most.
Right now the shop is just Corey and Ashley, and we are growing carefully. That means the person who checks in your car is the person who works on it. You get a straight answer, a free estimate before we start, and a call before we do anything extra.
