Automotive Industry News & Information - Steve's Automotive

Did you know that Remanufacturing is Recycling? Have you considered how your decision to make a major repair to your vehicle affects our environment? We have researched how much energy JASPER utilizes in the remanufacturing process and compared it with information from the Argonne National Lab, a research center for the U.S. Department of Energy.

By averaging the curb weight of three vehicles: a Mercedes-Benz W126, a Hummer H2, and a Toyota Prius, a determination was made on the average amount of energy required in manufacturing vehicles. Energy usage at JASPER, per drivetrain component, was figured and, on average, only 1% of the energy is consumed in remanufacturing a drivetrain component in comparison to manufacturing the entire vehicle. That is an energy savings of nearly six tons of coal or 1008 gallons of crude oil. Rather than replacing their vehicles, our customers, by purchasing JASPER remanufactured engines, transmissions, and differentials saved enough energy in 2007 to power an estimated 598,000 households, or every residence in a city the size of Washington, D.C., for an entire year!

JASPER 3 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY

JASPER can offer this beefy warranty on our remanufactured automatic and standard transmissions because every one of them goes through our extensive "Do It Right" process that ensures worry-free operation. Our shop chooses JASPER because our customers deserve not only the best product and service we can provide but also the peace of mind that comes with high quality - dependable products like JASPER transmissions, engines, and differentials.

When you find a car replace like this you really don't want them to get too busy, but Greg and the guys have been trusted with our vehicles for so many years we don't want to leave the area when we retire. Robert Ulrich

If you are interested in finding a mechanic versus the typical dealership type repair program - Steve's is the best ~~> never any regrets. Jerry Backus, 5 Star Review Birdseye

These guys totally deserve the 5 star rating they are maintaining. Always open and honest communication. I always know what to expect when dealing with anyone at the shop. T Long, Birdeye Review

I have used Steve's Auto for all my cars for 20+ years. Greg and his crew are the best and the most honest mechanics you can find. Just like my Great Uncle Ernest who ran his own shop for 45 years in Baltimore! - David Millard

I've had the chance to take both my truck and Cris' car in for repairs at Steve's Automotive Center near our house. I've been super impressed with both their quality of work and prices. I would highly recommend them and am thankful to have a mechanic that I can trust. - Marc Hunt of Atlanta GA

I have been taking cars to Steve's (now run by Greg his son) for at least 20 years. He has worked on my Land cruiser, my ES and GS Lexus sedans, my daughters Honda, and now my wife's new Honda and now my new Prius. With Steve (and Greg's help) I got 200,000 miles on all of our cars with no reliability issues and at a very good cost. He has help me provide my family with reliable transportation at a fraction of what a dealer cost and with quality that a no dealer and no franchise (Pep,,,, or Good... or Fire.. or Nation.. you name it) could provide. It really is hard to express the value you get from Greg and his staff but the most significant thing I can say is that you will not get a more honest hard working talented shop that strives to meet your needs. If you are just trying to keep the car running for another year, or if like me you seek reliability, Greg will guide you through the best most economical and effective path possible. If you don't know much about cars and need to be treated fairly and save money you can not find a better shop. Cars are an essential part of our life in Atlanta and a shop like Steve's is an essential part of keeping a car running and saving money doing it. - Ed Soniat
