Steve Fry - Co-Owner and Founder
Vince Peterson - Co-Owner
In 1981 and from humble beginnings, Steve created Steve's Mechanic Shop, which was almost exclusivley a diesal truck repair shop catering to customers in the Marysville area. One year later Steve had chosen to make Steve's Mechanic Shop into a general auto repair facility.
After roughly 19 years in business, Steve had decided to take in a new employee in 2000, Vince Peterson. With Vince, there would be a chain reaction of growth for Steve's Mechanic Shop. Steve saw the true potential with Vince and in 2002 decided that it would be best fit if Vince became Co-Owner and a partner. The new partnership called for a brand revision and thus Tall Guy Small Guy Automotive was born. When you meet Steve and Vince in person, you will understand why the name was chosen.
When Steve and Vince became partners they made a pact that they will always be 100% candid and honest when it comes to making recommendations for repairs to their guests. While working with Tall Guy Small Guy Automotive you will NEVER see repairs on an invoice that were not performed.
