Custom Maintenance Plan. Maintenance is key to saving both time and money on your vehicle! Letting something like the refrigerant run low in your vehicle’s air conditioning system may seem minor, but the refrigerant carries oil to the moving parts of your automobile’s a/c system. Without proper lubrication, the heart of your A/C system will break down. Yet, just spending $125 every two years to keep your refrigerant full will save you up to $2,500 on a new A/C compressor!
Therefore, The Path Less Traveled Automotive likes to give each customer an individualized Custom Maintenance Plan, geared toward how YOU drive! For instance, elderly individuals drive less, so they may only need their oil changed once a year. However, it is still useful for them to have their tire pressure and vehicle fluids checked every few months, so that their vehicle remains in superior condition. Using The Path Less Traveled Automotive’s preventative maintenance saves you a lot of money in major repairs in the future.
Meet the Owner. The Path Less Traveled Automotive owner, Michael Marcogliese, is a graduate of Dunwoody Industrial Institute in Minneapolis. At Dunwoody, Michael gained a wonderful education on vehicle maintenance and repair. Although Michael’s first jobs were in dealerships and he had to move around a lot—with a difficult workload at times—he obtained a wide range of experience early on.
One day, Michael was traveling from Michigan to Arizona, and his car broke down 5 times along the way. Each time, the mechanics Michael visited failed to repair the car properly, forcing Michael to spend a substantial amount of money on repairs that didn’t even fix his car’s problem. That is why Michael decided—in 2005—to open an automotive repair shop that puts each customer’s interest first!
Michael named The Path Less Traveled Automotive after the Bible verse—which came to him in a dream two nights in a row— “The gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it” (Matthew 7:13 and Matthew 7:14 KJV).

The Path Less Traveled Automotive Reviews
“‘Mike and the Mechanics’ at The Path Less Travelled Automotive are my go to folks for my Honda Element and my Honda Motorcycle. They are honest, trustworthy staff with the ability to work on newer high tech vehicles as well as more “vintage” ones. Over the last 6 years, and on a number of vehicles, I have been thoroughly satisfied with their work. That’s why I am a return customer, and why I provide my highest endorsement of their service.”—Arlene C.
