Get To Know Us
Welcome to Cypress Ridge Automotive
Cypress Ridge Automotive isn’t your typical repair shop — and that’s by design. Founded by Donovan and Heather Plank, our business was built from the ground up, not from corporate funding or franchise molds. Located behind our home in Bell, FL, our shop reflects the values we live by: honesty, hard work, and doing things right the first time.
With years of hands-on experience — especially in Ford, Lincoln, and Powerstroke diesel systems — we’ve developed a reputation for precise diagnostics and high-quality repairs. We also work on Cummins and Duramax vehicles and offer performance upgrades for both gas and diesel engines. Every repair is backed by deep technical knowledge and attention to detail.
A Different Kind of Customer Experience
We’ve seen too many drivers left frustrated by rushed repairs and poor communication. That’s why we take a different approach: thorough diagnostics, and service recommendations. Whether you’re dropping off your daily driver or managing a fleet, you’ll get straightforward service from people who treat your vehicle like their own.
More Than a Business — It’s Personal
To us, this shop isn’t just a job — it’s a reflection of who we are. As a small family-run business, we hold ourselves to high standards because we live in the same community we serve. When your car leaves our shop, it’s not just ready for the road — it’s a vehicle we’d trust alongside our own family’s.
