Since opening our doors in 2015, Team Ryan Automotive has been delivering exceptional service and trustworthy repairs in Buford and Gwinnett County. Now, we are excited to bring that same quality of care to drivers in Cumming and Forsyth County with our new location, conveniently located in the Keith Bridge Kroger shopping center on Freedom Parkway.

Grand Opening Celebration

Team Ryan Automotive would love to invite you out to our grand opening celebration on May 21, 2023. We will be opening our doors and our bays from 12 PM - 4 PM for shop tours, food, games, and fun. Come out and meet your new go-to team for auto repair and learn more about the Team Ryan way. We can’t wait to meet you, but before you come out, we think you should get to know us.

Who is Team Ryan Automotive?

Team Ryan Automotive is not your typical, run-of-the-mill repair shop. We put our customers first and their vehicles second. Vehicle issues and breakdowns are frustrating, but they are not always the main issue. In some cases, the main problem is making sure you make it to work in time for a meeting or that the family makes it to the ballpark in time for Jimmy’s big game. A broken vehicle can certainly throw a wrench in those plans.

When you call Team Ryan Automotive, we are here to help you every step of the way. From making sure you are safe, facilitating a tow, and getting you and your family into a loaner car or a Lyft so that you can continue on with your life.

Family Owned and Operated

Team Ryan Automotive was started by the Ryans in 2015 after Dan Ryan saw a need for a change in the auto repair industry. A technician for 20 years, Dan knew the ins and outs of auto repair and the downfalls that often led to a decline in quality at other organizations. From that desire to change came the flagship Team Ryan Automotive shop in Buford.

With roots in Cumming, the Ryans always wanted to bring that same dedication to Forsyth County. In 2022, that dream became a reality.

Environmentally Conscious

When most people think of automotive repair, the words “environmentally conscious” probably don’t come to mind. But Team Ryan is out to change that perception by leading by example. We have been recognized both locally and nationally for the steps we are taking. 

From our low-energy fluorescent lighting to our waste oil heater that uses recycled motor oil to recycling coffee cups and other cardboard in our lobby, we make efforts every day to have as little impact on the environment as possible.

But we understand that protecting the environment extends beyond business hours. Team Ryan also practices responsible cleanup and we are involved with various environmental organizations including Chattahoochee Nature Center, Elachee Nature Center, The Nature Conservancy, and The National Parks Conservation Association.

Community Driven

Team Ryan has been involved in various community organizations in Buford for years. Already a member of the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce, we are embarking on that same level of commitment to the Cumming and Forsyth County Communities. We are constantly looking for ways to give back to our friends and neighbors so that our community can thrive. We are already connected with The Place in Cumming as well as Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in Forsyth.

Experts in Quality

An ASE Blue Seal of Excellence shop, Team Ryan Automotive puts the quality of our service and repair above everything else. Every technician that touches our car meets ASE’s strict standards. You spend a lot of time in your vehicle and you need to know that it is well taken care of.

We are so confident in the quality of care we provide that, as of April 2023, we are excited to offer a lifetime warranty on many of our repairs. This warranty is the first of its kind in the Buford and Cumming areas and we hope that it gives every driver peace of mind knowing that they and their vehicle are protected.

How Essential Is a Summer Emergency Kit?
By Dan Ryan May 9, 2025
Summer heat affects every part of your car, but your tires are especially vulnerable. The hot pavement, rising internal pressure, and long drives can all contribute to tire failure. At Team Ryan Automotive, we want to make sure your tires stay safe and road-ready all season. Here is how summer heat impacts your tires and what you can do to protect them. 1. Increased Air Pressure As temperatures rise, so does the air pressure inside your tires. For every 10-degree increase in temperature, tire pressure can rise by one to two pounds per square inch (PSI). Overinflation can cause tires to wear unevenly and increase the risk of a blowout. Check your tire pressure regularly and adjust it according to your vehicle’s recommended levels. 2. Faster Tread Wear Heat softens rubber, making it wear down more quickly. This is especially true if you are driving at high speeds on hot asphalt. Inspect your tires weekly during the summer for signs of excessive or uneven tread wear. If you notice balding or sidewall damage, it is time for a replacement. 3. Risk of Blowouts Blowouts are more common in summer because the combination of high speed, high pressure, and worn tires creates the perfect storm. To reduce your risk, avoid overloading your vehicle, maintain proper tire pressure, and replace old or worn tires as soon as needed. 4. Importance of Tire Rotation Rotating your tires helps them wear evenly, improving traction and extending their lifespan. Team Ryan Automotive recommends rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This simple step can save you money and help keep your vehicle safe. 5. Alignment and Balancing Improper wheel alignment or unbalanced tires can cause uneven wear and strain on your suspension. If your vehicle pulls to one side or your steering wheel vibrates at high speeds, schedule a wheel alignment and tire balancing service. This can enhance tire performance and improve ride comfort. Visit Team Ryan Automotive for Tire Safety Tire safety is essential for your comfort, performance, and protection. If you are not sure about the condition of your tires, let our experts take a look. We offer tire inspections, pressure adjustments, rotations, alignments, and tire replacements. Whether you are commuting around town or planning a summer getaway, we will make sure your tires are ready for the heat. Keep your summer rolling smoothly with tire care you can trust.

Summer road trips are a classic American tradition. Whether you are headed to the beach, the mountains, or your favorite theme park, the journey should be just as enjoyable as the destination. To help you avoid unexpected delays and make the most of your trip, here are five key vehicle preparation tips from Team Ryan Automotive. 1. Start with an Oil Change Fresh oil helps your engine stay cool, reduces friction, and supports fuel efficiency. If your oil is dirty or your last change was more than 3,000 miles ago, schedule an oil change before your trip. Remember, all TRA oil changes come with our complimentary Standard Vehicle Inspection. 2. Inspect Tires for Wear and Pressure Proper tire maintenance is essential for road safety. Check the tread depth to ensure there is enough grip, especially if you expect rain. Look for cracks, bulges, or signs of dry rot that could lead to blowouts. Finally, make sure all four tires are inflated to the correct pressure. Do not forget to check the spare tire too. 3. Test Your Battery and Charging System No one wants to deal with a dead battery in the middle of a road trip. Summer heat can weaken your battery and stress your alternator. Visit Team Ryan Automotive for a battery test and charging system inspection. If your battery is nearing the end of its life, we will recommend a replacement to keep you powered up. 4. Check Brakes and Brake Fluid Reliable brakes are vital for a safe trip. Listen for squeaking or grinding when braking and watch for a spongy pedal feel. These could be signs that your brake pads or fluid need attention. Let us perform a full brake inspection to make sure your vehicle is ready for any driving condition. 5. Prepare Your Emergency Kit Every road trip should include an emergency kit. Stock it with jumper cables, a flashlight, basic tools, bottled water, a first-aid kit, and non-perishable snacks. Having these items on hand can help you handle unexpected delays or mechanical issues more comfortably. Bonus Tip: Schedule a Pre-Trip Inspection Before hitting the road, bring your vehicle to Team Ryan Automotive for a pre-trip inspection . Our certified technicians will check your fluids, belts, hoses, tires, and more. We will catch small issues before they become trip-ending problems. Enjoy Peace of Mind on the Road A little preparation goes a long way when it comes to summer travel. Our team is here to help you enjoy your road trip with fewer surprises and more smiles. Schedule your service visit today and travel with peace of mind.
