Our story

A family shop built on straight answers

Fred and Nancy Kneble started the shop with a practical promise: diagnose the vehicle carefully, explain the repair plainly, and treat customers the way they would want to be treated.

That standard still shapes the shop today. Kneble’s has grown into an eight-bay facility with ASE-certified technicians, AAA approval, and the equipment needed for modern domestic and foreign vehicles.

We tell you what is wrong, what can wait, and what the fix costs. Then we start the work.
