Hello! I’m Steve Pavelka and I have worked at Carlson Auto from the first day it opened in1984 and since July, 1998 I have owned it. I’m a ASE Certified Master Technician with Advanced L1 certification. I have lived in Hastings for 40 Years and am a member of the Hastings Chamber of Commerce. I have a lovely wife and 3 boys, ages 11 and have twins that are 5. I enjoy camping with the family, swimming, racing and a good movie. I also love to work on cars.

Our strong commitment for customer satisfaction continues. All employee’s attend training seminars 6-8 times a year, to keep up to date on repairing today’s vehicles. Carlson Auto continues to be on the cutting edge of technology. The internet has become a valuable resource for our business. The majority of our diagnostic data is retrieved from various web sites. Our garage management system is a web based system with our server in Canada. This system will increase our ability to help you properly maintain your vehicle. If you choose we can “forecast” what preventative maintenance procedures will be due for your vehicle. This technology is designed to make your vehicle last longer with less unforeseen costly repairs. Next time your in ask us for a demo!

August 2005 marked our 21st year in business in Hastings. Thanks to customers like you we have been able to grow and our commitment to you is stronger than ever.
