What We Do

Complete Auto & Small Engine Care

Whether it's your daily driver or the tractor in the barn, we've got the tools, knowledge, and patience to get it running right.

Auto Diagnostics

Check engine light on? We'll pinpoint the problem fast with modern diagnostic tools and explain exactly what's going on — no guessing games.

Brake Service

Pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid — full brake system inspection and repair. Safe stopping power shouldn't be something you delay.

Engine Repair

From minor tune-ups to complete engine overhauls, we handle gasoline and diesel engines in cars, trucks, and light equipment.

Small Engine Service

Lawmowers, tillers, chainsaws, generators — if it has a small engine, we can service and repair it. Keep your equipment running all season.

Oil Changes & Maintenance

Regular oil changes, fluid checks, filter replacements, and scheduled maintenance to keep your vehicle reliable mile after mile.

Tractor & Farm Equipment

Specialized small engine expertise means we're comfortable with tractors, implements, and farm machinery — not just street vehicles.

About Us

Rooted in Shenandoah, Built on Trust

Stew's Auto and Small Engine Repair isn't a chain or a franchise — it's a local shop where your car gets the same attention as our own. We know the difference between a quick fix and the right fix, and we'll always tell you which one you need.

Our specialization in small engines sets us apart. While many shops focus solely on automobiles, we bring the same level of care to lawnmowers, tractors, and outdoor power equipment. That breadth of experience makes us better at understanding engines of all sizes.

Brought my truck in with a problem that two other shops couldn't figure out. Stew's diagnosed it the same day and had it running perfectly. Honest folks who know their stuff.

They fixed my lawn mower and my SUV in the same visit. It's rare to find a shop that takes small engines as seriously as cars. I won't go anywhere else.

Fair price, quality work, and they actually explain what they're doing instead of just handing you a bill. That means a lot when you're not a mechanic.
