About Sholar Automotive

A local Auburn auto repair shop built on master-certified skill, straight answers, and treating every customer like family.

Call the Shop

Welcome to Sholar Automotive, your local Auburn auto repair shop. We're glad you stopped by to learn a little more about who we are. This shop is owned and run by Steve Sholar, right here in Auburn, NY. We officially opened our doors in January 2022, but the story behind this building goes back further than that, we're proud to carry on the legacy of Pet's Auto Repair, the shop that stood here before us, while making it fully our own. From routine auto repair services to your annual NY State inspection, our goal is simple: be the trusted, honest shop Auburn drivers turn to year after year.

Family-Owned, Personally Invested

We're not just another auto repair shop. Sholar Automotive is a family-owned business, and that shows in how we treat the people who walk through our door. You're not a repair order number to us, you're part of the Sholar family the moment you bring your vehicle in. That honest, personal approach is what shapes every inspection, every estimate, and every conversation we have with you.

Why Choose Sholar Automotive

Our team is built around manufacturer-experienced, certified master mechanics, so the skill under the hood is real. But what actually sets us apart from the next shop down the road is how we treat customers once that hood is open. We give you expert, honest service at fair prices, and we stand behind the work we do. Our reputation as Auburn's trusted auto repair shop wasn't built by being the cheapest option in town, it was built by being the shop people trust to do the job right the first time. If it rolls, or limps, into our shop, chances are we can fix it.

Meet the Owner

Steve Sholar

Owner & Master Certified Technician

NYS Inspector ID #2VW5

Steve grew up around family already in the auto repair business, so cars were never really a choice for him, they were just always part of life. He started his career in 1997 and worked his way up to becoming a Ford master certified technician. From there he added certifications in Nissan and ASE, and eventually moved into managing service departments before deciding it was time to build something trusted and honest of his own, right here in Auburn.
