Steve Wheeler went above and beyond to help me when I broke down in Lake City while traveling. He is experienced and knowledgeable. I'm grateful for good, honest people like Steve in the world. Thanks again for your help!

My Audi broke down on 175S I called Steve from the HWY driving alone from Canada. It was close to after hours and he agreed to have my Audi towed and look at it same day this amazing person stayed open fixed and test drove my car to ensure it was safe to continue my drive to Naples. Thank you to Steve and his beautiful wife for simply being wonderful caring people.

I've been taking our European cars to Steve Wheeler now for the better part of a year and can say one thing: I wish I had done so sooner. If you are looking for an honest Euro-car specialist who does good work and who does not overcharge for it, this is your specialist. I've been to the nicest dealerships and sipped their Starbucks while I waited in their high back leather chairs and been treated like royalty. I was charged like I was royalty too. Steve is not cheap, but he knows his stuff and does good and reliable work that he stands behind. Thank you Steve.

Let me start with - I have found my lifelong mechanic for my 1979 Mercedes Benz 450SL. Steve was wonderful! He is EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE! I brought my Benz to him to fix anything that needed fixing. He went over the entire car and did just that - at a reasonable price! He explained everything that he did, why he did it and how. I am thoroughly pleased with him and his shop. If you have a European car I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you call Steve. An honest mechanic doing an honestly great job!

I replaced the clutch pedal bushings on my '08 Cooper S, but after the job was finished, my air bag system and cruise control were in error or not working. I contacted Steve and arranged to drop off of my car. Steve went through the diagnostics and corrected all error codes and adjusted my brake light switch to correct the cruise control issue. His work was quick and neat, and even printed out a sheet on how to adjust the brake switch myself, if need be. Very polite and professional. I will not hesitate to bring my car to him in the future.

Had to take my '05 MB CLK 500 in for some considerable repairs. This shop is very professional and very knowledgeable. Would absolutely recommend to anyone that needs their European car repaired. Just remember, you get what you pay for!

I drove my Mercedes down for spring break and didn't make it all the way. It was stuck and the head gasket blew. Steve helped me so much to get it to his place and get it checked out. He gave me no problem watching over it for me. Steve was very informative and helped me above and beyond. Very appreciative that there are still people out there like him to help in a hard time like this and not take advantage. Give him your business and I am sure you will be pleased.

Traveling from Orlando our alternator died. We were fortunate to randomly do a Google search and locate Steve Wheeler auto repair. Steve and Matt not only replaced our alternator but were also concerned with our comfort during the wait for the part to arrive. We are very thankful that we found this auto repair shop and highly recommend their service.

My experience at Steve Wheeler Automotive was nothing short of outstanding. My car was brought there and immediately assessed. Mr. Wheeler shopped around on the computer to find the most inexpensive replacement part and quoted me an extremely fair and reasonable price to complete the job. All of this while treating me as though I was a member of his family. Mr. Wheeler and his Lead Tech Matt were very knowledgeable and truly professional. If I lived closer to Lake City, I would trust them with all of my automotive needs.

I highly recommend Steve Wheeler Automotive. My husband and I bought a used 2001 Jetta in September of 2013 and were referred to Steve by a mechanic in Mayo who did not work on European cars. Steve took the time to speak with us at length in reference to the repairs. Steve is honest, informative and I am so happy that we found him. He is truly the epitome of mechanics. Thank you Steve! Sincerely, Brigitte H. Wall
