Testimonials

On 4/16/2026 Scott Hyde had this to say:
There's not many places left that will still work on the old stuff. Bob rebuilt a generator for me off my old 51 Chevy pickup. He not only rebuilt the generator but also had me bring in the voltage regulator so he could clean it up and adjust and bench test everything together to make sure it was outputting the correct voltage. Bob answered all my questions about positive and negative grounds and about what voltage I should be seeing at the battery. I couldn't be happier with the service and communication.

Luke goes out of his way to provide quality service and a fair price. He has meticulous attention to detail and seeks to find the root cause of the issue...not just solving the symptoms as I've found at other places in the area. I can't recommend Luke highly enough. If your issue doesn't need fixing...or isn't worth the cost or the hassle, Luke will be honest and tell you. That's what I'm looking for in my mechanic. As an example, I had an issue with my Subaru just yesterday, and I was trying to determine what the extra rattling was to see if it was a more serious issue. After a quick drive, an inspection, a repaired clamp, and a second drive (Luke's desire to always solve the real problem wouldn't let him not confirm that the issue was solved :) )...I was as good as new. This has been consistent with every issue I've taken to Luke. If you're looking for quality service and a good price, you can't go wrong with Luke and Bob at Steele Auto.

Ended up not needing the appointment, but when i called and asked to schedule one, they were very kind and scheduled one right away. It might sound standard, but i drive a very unique european vehicle and many places turn me away instantly on the phone, but they were very receptive and if i were ever in town again this is the first place i’d call into!
