Steve's Auto Service

First time customer.
Was very pleased with
the team, George and Tom's proffessionalism, expertise and overall customer service. I am going to trust their shop mechanics are master mechanics, so I cannot say otherwise unless repairs were unsuccessful many years from now, honoring certain limited, reasonable warranties. Steve's Auto Services is apparently focused on providing customer satisfaction to first time, long time customers.
As I full service vehicle repair
shop, it seems they are unmatched, competitive.
We will certainly continue in taking our vehicles to Steve's as long we are here in Mac. We are definitely recommending them to all we know or don't know.
Thanks to them for being here!!

Long story short, 2 shops serviced my vehicle and came back worst than it was prior to being turned in. Desperate to get my vehicle fixed I reached out to Steve's Auto and glad I did. Got my vehicle back at 💯 and will continue to have my vehicle serviced with them. George and his team were beyond phenomenal and went above and beyond to both duplicate then isolate the concern AND keeping me abreast. THANK YOU

Very happy with Steve's and all the guys!! Very polite, get the job done and go above and beyond! Last time in I mentioned if someone wanted to clean the inside of my windshield, go for it! Lol. It was sparkling clean!!

Young car owner without a ton of experience. I was lucky that this shop was the closest to where my Camry broke down. Super friendly and helpful, easy to talk to, and transparent about services and fees. Everything I could have hoped for! Cannot recommend this business enough.

I can't recommend George and Steve's Auto Service enough! Their commitment to customer satisfaction is unmatched. Not only do they excel in their work, but they consistently go above and beyond. Their expert advice on current and potential issues with my car has been invaluable. Trustworthy, reliable, and top-notch service – they've earned my trust and loyalty. Highly recommended!

Steve’s Auto Service is great!!! The had really good communication with us when doing some work to our sons older truck. No surprises when it came to payment as they sent estimates out prior to doing any work for approval. Steve’s Auto Service is our go to now! Best in McMinnville we highly recommend!

The service was excellent. They went over my car and checked everything during the oil change The price was excellent. And they were very friendly and fair gave me a ride home and picked me up. I recommend them to anybody.

Outstanding service! Identified my Explorer’s problem, gave me an estimate to repair, which is exactly what I paid, and delivered it on time. Well organized and professional outfit. Pleasure to do business with! Thank you! Al Arguedas

My service was quick and under specific circumstances that were normally not a part of their policy they did allow due to the circumstance. I picked up my car same day and was able to pay in full and get on the road quickly!

George was great in getting me just the right part I needed, then followed up with great service and double checked to make sure all was right. This was my first time doing business with Steve’s. As an ASE certified mechanic, I know when the service and quality is good. This is a great place and I’ll be back!

In a business like auto repair, the number of problems that could arise in the process of doing a repair is staggering. So when something doesn't turn out as planned, it is a part of doing business. It is the nature of the industry to have problems pop up after the bid has been made and the process has started.
That said, I can say with confidence that Steve will do the right thing when faced with unexpected problems during a repair. In my opinion, Steve has distinguished himself by following through until the job is done right no matter how much extra effort is required.
It isn't uncommon for things to go wrong in any business venture. It's what happens next that really matters, and this business does the right thing next, always.

Great service and friendly workers, I appreciated the help and the explaining of what was needed- I highly recommend Steve's Auto!👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing AND cost effective service! I’ve been telling everyone I know! I was blown away, they exceeded all expectations.

Everyone is knowledgeable and honest. Each time I’ve needed a repair, they let me know what can wait and what needs to be fixed right away. They are respectful of budgets and time. George goes out of his way to make sure I have what I need. Thanks so much!

I called on a Monday, brought car in on Tuesday evening and it was ready to go on Friday. Excellent customer service and reasonable rates. Customer for life!! Thank you so much.

good group of trustable mechanics. friendly easy to work with and not going to rip you off.

No other way to put it: These guys rock!

I worked with George and he is very attentive, smart, and gets his customers for sure!

This place was recommended by an Engineer that I work with that lives in McMinnville, though my husband and I live in Dallas.

I have not taken one of my vehicles to an outside mechanic in over 20 years due to past experiences, so I was somewhat apprehensive.

We had two (3) main issues: 1) High frequency 'buzz' in the steering wheel has gotten worse over the last 12 months to the point that your hands can go to sleep if driving more than 10 minutes, 2) Nissan Versa SV just went over 100,000 miles and was badly in need of a full tuneup; gas MPG went from 40 down-to 36.5, and 3) Car wandering on freeway more than normal for a little sub-compact.

Now the tuneup is simply: New plugs (taking the entire plenum off is a royal pain), new air filter, REMOVE and totally clean the throttle body cuz they get real dirty. Also, had them do an oil & filter change.

Diagnosing the buzz in the steering wheel can be extensive down-to and including the rack & pinion, suspension parts, wheel bearings, tires and wheels, and even maybe the transmission.

Now in the troubleshooting the buzz they did not find any issues with the rack or suspension parts (shocks, ball joints, cross members), or wheels/tires, so nothing stood out. At this point the Tech suggested that the vibration (buzz actually) might be getting transferred from the transmission and this is where the troubleshooting stopped.

They did however find that the FEA (front end alignment) was out big-time in the toe setting. They fixed this and the wandering and jerking around the road is gone! Previous owner had hit a curb I'm sure, classic symptom is this metric.

Results: The tuneup is fantastic! All the pep of this little car is back. My MPG went back up to over 40 MPG which is great.

The troubleshooting could've been really started from the steering wheel, all the way down to the linkage at the firewall, and then the linkage down to the rack & pinion: I don't know if this was performed. And this is where the problem was however.

This little Nissan 'does' have Power Steering, but not classical pump and reservoir type. It uses an ELECTRIC POWER STEERING COLUMN MOTOR and ENCODER just below the steering wheel behind all the plastic next to the Tilt handle on the column shaft.

The motor is what was causing all the buzz by having problems with the encoder so it was going back and forth (lost obviously) at a high frequency. It was felt in neutral and even when the car was NOT in motion. Unplug this power connector to this motor: BUZZ is GONE! They missed this, but that is tricky to diagnose to make.

My husband Richard is a Master Mechanic of over 40 years, so he found the parts we needed and is taking the time to swap them out, just don't need to change the entire steering column.

Point Is: Will I go back to Steve's for more work? YES, DEFINITELY.

They have restored my faith in a Mechanic shop that does what they say they'll do, at the price they say, and do high quality work, and so darn fast! They actually got it back to me when they said they would! Who woulda thought!

I don't mind driving 30 miles from Dallas up to their shop.
If you have work needing to be done, try Steve's.

And thanks to Robert Myers for the recommendation.

Steve's Auto will not only make it right for you, but the service advisor staff, the mechanics and the service they provide is outstanding! Our Z28 has seen Steve's Auto many times throughout the last few years as they've brought it back to life for us. The latest service provided by Steve's team was absolutely awesome!! Ask for George or Tim and they'll get you scheduled...

Steve's provides amazing service. I come from a family with a brother who owns an auto mechanic shop back in Alabama. Steve's provides as quality service as my brother. I fully trust the recommendations from this shop and have always been dealt with fairly. We use Steve's for all our repairs.

By far one of the best experiences I've had with any mechanic! They took care of everything; worked with our extended warranty, explained what all was needed very well, and kept us up to date as our extensive project was in progress.

Highly recommend!
