A building at 381 Main St. in Oxford has become the home of 1st Choice Automotive, a sales, service and detailing business owned and operated by Joshua Tyck and Diana Hryzan.
1st Choice opened in January and is a multi-faceted venture for the couple.

“We do detailing, oil changes, tune-ups and car service,” Ms. Hryzan said on May 3rd. “We will also be selling used cars. This is a new business for myself and my boyfriend. We have four bays in the building altogether and are offering a spring special for detailing starting at $150, a full detailing inside and out.”
The couple also has a food truck on site that will be available to rent “and an ice cream truck is coming.”
Mr. Tyck owned a detailing shop a while ago and is a carpenter by trade. “I’m a mom of three who got roped into this for the fun,” she said.
Both are residents of Oxford. Both do detailing. Both are eager to host a grand opening for 1st Choice Automotive later this month.
Detailing is a cornerstone of the business. “Normally we need about four hours to do the job and customers can leave the car for the day and we offer rides if they need them,” Ms. Hryzan said.
She describes 1st Choice Automotive as a “community-oriented” venture.
