About this Location

Facility Overview

Mt Union Auto Services is situated at 205 N Division St in Mount Union, Pennsylvania (Huntingdon County). Functioning as an established automotive service center and open-air staging facility, the property features a wide, ground-level surface lot tailored to accommodate everyday drivers, commercial fleets, and heavy transport. Because the facility is entirely outdoors with open-sky clearance, it completely avoids the restrictive height limitations found in urban multi-story parking structures. Passenger sedans, crossovers, full-size pickup trucks, cargo vans, high-roof utility vehicles, and vehicles towing utility trailers or recreational equipment can maneuver, stage, and park comfortably on site.

The open curb cut and wide driveway apron ensure seamless entry and exit without tight turns, allowing large work trucks and towed rigs to pull in smoothly even during busy morning and late-afternoon commute periods. Local regional transit connections and on-demand county transit shuttles serve the central Mount Union borough.
