DOWELL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR

About us

Dan Dowell founded Dowell Automotive Repair Inc. on January 1st of 1995. Business was conducted in a one bay garage rented from Dan’s father in Shadeland. At this point Dowell Automotive was a one-man show. Business grew rapidly due to an honest reputation and the superior quality of the work. In September of 1999, Dan moved the business to its current location 3355 S. 250 W. The new building was complete with four bays, a waiting area, a parts storage room, a large parking lot, and was seated on two acres of land. It was important to Dan for the building and grounds to be kept in a clean and tidy condition. This was not your average car repair shop. In August of 2008 Dowell Automotive Repair expanded further by adding three more super bays able to accommodate large trucks and emergency vehicles. This new expansion is equipped with a 15,000-pound lift for the increasing demand for fleet service. Today, Dowell Automotive Repair serves Shadeland and the Greater Lafayette area with a wide variety of customers’ needs. From changing the oil on a compact car, to servicing an entire fleet of emergency vehicles, you can always count on Dowell Automotive for quality service.

They found the problem and it was not as severe as expected. They replaced coil, spark plugs, fuel filter, and air filter. The car is now running great with no problems. I was very pleased with the service.

They were excellent.  We've been using their service for a number of years.  They offer a fair price.  They are honest and if something doesn't need to be fixed, they tell us.  We never had a problem with them.  They are timely and we obviously like them because we keep on coming back.

I was told my dealer that my front brakes needed to be replaced.   When I then took my vehicle to Dowell's to have the work completed I received a call that asked me what issues I was having while driving.   I explained that I wasn't having issues but was told by the dealer service rep that my front brakes needed replaced.  Come to find out I still have 45% of my brake pads and could drive approximately another 10,000 miles additional.   They put my vehicle back and I picked up with a nice note that said I owed nothing and they would see me in another 10,000 miles.    What a surprise!

They are very honest, and he's a very nice guy. They won't do anything that doesn't need to be repaired. Dowell Automotive Repair is very reliable. There is only one time that we had a problem and we just took it back and he took care of it.
