One mechanic. One shop. Since 2010.
Lone Wolf Auto is Doug's shop on 1100 West in Centerville. He's the guy who answers the phone and the guy under the hood. Customers have been bringing him everything from daily drivers to classic Cadillacs for years, and many say their whole family goes nowhere else.
The shop is clean and organized, and customers say it comes with a shop dog.
