Shaun Merchant
The guy behind Automotive Therapy...
Shaun Merchant started his automotive service career by attending Nascar Technical Institute, a
division of Universal Technical Institute in Mooresville, NC, graduating in 2004. Over the course of
his career at the dealership with Acura he completed numerous weeks of in person training in Georgia
and Virginia and approximately 400 web based self studies which culminated in him receiving his Master
Technician certification from Acura in 2017. To gain his NSX(NC1) certification he traveled to California
for hands on training and instruction on topics including maintenance, alignments, and braking systems.
Shaun also attended an even more exciting second training session at the Atlanta training center where
he got to disassemble the rear section of a new NSX followed by engine and transmission removal.
Automotive Therapy officially opened in August of 2021, and in February of 2023 Shaun stepped away
from the dealership to run Automotive Therapy full time specializing in Acura, Honda, and select import
repairs. Originally from South Carolina, he now lives in Holly Springs, North Carolina with his wife and
daughter. Shaun is excited to share his technical expertise with the people of southern Wake County and
surrounding areas.
