Our shop brings a rich and proud history into every service we perform. We opened 1960, inside of two small stall shops, because our founder, Clete Bleisch, believed that it was important to have an auto repair business in our community that cared, first and foremost, about delivering quality care to the customer. In 1963, he opened the location we are at today and over the years, the business has grown to include four new truck bays and a 24/7 emergency towing service!

Clete's, Inc. has always been, and continues to be, a Family Business. Now, the shop is run by their son, Tom, who is the owner and operator of the establishment. And you can expect the same great service as always!
