Sauder's Automotive, owned and operated by Rodger and Betty Sauder, opened for business on July 14, 1986 in a 40' x 70' two-bay shop with one heavy-duty truck technician, Tim Hellbusch. In 1991, with five employees, a bigger shop was needed. With our customer list and reputation growing rapidly, a new building with over 10,000 sq. ft. was built close to I-80. In 1996 a 3,000 sq. ft. parts room and shop area was added on. Then again in 2001 the addition of a 1,600 sq. ft. retail and parts storage area was built. Sauder's Automotive operated from a 12-bay shop with 8 technicians, 2 service writers, 1 truck manager, 1 auto manager, 1 office manager, parts personnel and janitors until September 1, 2009 when the truck department was sold. New construction began March 2010 and a 10,000 sq. ft. shop area was completed October 1, 2010. We are now located at 454 Glover Road.
"Rodger believes the biggest challenge facing our business is keeping technicians trained and qualified to do the repairs and stay current on the use of diagnostic equipment. Here at Sauder's Automotive constant and continued training is mandatory. Customer satisfaction and accurate repairs is our #1 goal." — Rodger Sauder
