Executive Automotive Care, Inc. has voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 protection. The Spring Hill, Florida-based company operates as a general automotive repair and maintenance provider. Case records show several unsecured claims made by certain creditors and show a decline in the company’s gross revenue.

Note: Chapter 11 allows businesses to reorganize their debts while continuing operations under court supervision. Executive Automotive Care, Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 subchapter V, which provides a streamlined Chapter 11 process for qualifying small business debtors. A Chapter 11 filing does not necessarily mean that a business is closing. For additional information, readers are encouraged to contact the business directly.
