Our History

Kovacs' Garage was founded in 1971 by Bob Kovacs. In 1970 Bob was working as a mechanic for a local leasing company that was sold to a national leasing company - and he felt the service to the customers was not what they deserved. At that point he decided to open his own garage where he prided himself on outstanding service.  He promised himself to always provide value and outstanding service, regardless of how large his business grew. Today, his two sons, Jim and Ted,  are determined to honor Bob by running a business that would truly offer value to the community. 

We are in the same location for over 50 years and celebrating our 50th year in business! We do diesel and truck repairs specializing in fleet service. Every aspect of repairs from simple service to a major overhaul; engine rebuilding; clutch replacement; transmission repair; steering and front end service; brake and suspension work; hydraulic and air brakes. We have a large inventory for a quick turn around; minor or major welding. We repair most vehicles from 1/2 ton pick-up to tractor trailers. 

Bob was and avid fisherman and also as a teen started building his own hot rod - which eventually both these hobbies evolved into the Kovacs' Rod Shop and Kovacs' Marine Engine Service.
