Our History
 

In 1983 Paul Stauffer had an idea for an auto repair business that would serve the Rockford community with integrity, customer service, and using the most current technology. The Auto Clinic began operation on Rockford's west side in the Zatrell Body Shop. In 1984, the Stauffer family moved the Auto Clinic to a Marathon Station on 1st Avenue and 6th Street. Finally in 1992, they built the current Auto Clinic at 4109 E. State Street. In 2007 the torch was passed on to Paul’s oldest son Brad and his family to continue the Auto Clinic’s excellent reputation within the community. (view historical gallery).

The Way We Run Our Business
 

The Auto Clinic of Rockford operates on one basic principal and that is, “Treat every customer the way we would like to be treated. Being honest, understanding and by standing behind the quality work of our ASE Master Certified technicians.”

Having to deal with unexpected auto repairs can be stressful and frustrating so we do all we can to get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible. We will explain or show you what your vehicle repair involves, give you any alternatives available and try our best to do the job at a reasonable cost.
