At Doc's Auto Clinic, fixing vehicle’s is in our family’s blood, and it’s where we excel. In fact, our auto repair shop is the culmination of the work of generations of car people. Owner Brian Small’s grandfather owned the first Ford dealership in Washington, D.C., exposing Brian to the automotive industry at a young age. Brian went on to work at a gas station during high school, which was operated by a family who taught him the value of kindness and customer care. It was also here that Brian first learned how to fix cars. Later, when Brian established Doc’s Auto Clinic, it was because he felt car repair was an honest way to make a living. Forty-five years down the road, customer service and all manner of auto repair continue to be Brian’s areas of expertise.
Doc's Auto Clinic carries forward a family tradition of honesty, coupled with extensive training.
In 1996, Brian and his family moved to Steamboat Springs, and he opened Doc's Auto Clinic in 1997. The shop soon outgrew its original location in a strip mall by Steamboat Motors, and we moved to our own building at Copper Ridge. This enabled us to install new equipment, including a heavy-duty alignment rack and four-post lifts. Since first opening our doors, it’s been our goal to provide the best auto care in Steamboat Springs. That’s why we buy state-of-the-art equipment, hire ASE-certified mechanics, and use only quality parts. Really, how can you expect to be the best if you don’t invest in the best? At Doc's Auto Clinic, we work hard to bring you the best automotive service possible.
“My approach to business is to take care of my customers better than anyone else they have been to for automotive repairs.” - Brian Small, Owner
Brian opened Doc’s Auto Clinic in 1997 with the goal of offering Steamboat Springs area drivers a better auto repair experience— specifically a better customer experience and more appropriate, higher quality auto repairs than other shops in the Steamboat area were providing.
With numerous trade school certificates, ASE certifications, and Management Success! management training, and awards, Brian is proud of where his career in the auto industry has taken him. But he is most proud of the exceptional reputation Doc’s Auto Clinic has earned for great customer service and quality work.
John received the same early exposure to the automotive industry as Brian, and he even went to work in the same family-owned auto repair shop. For many years, John worked as a certified auto technician alongside Brian before deciding to pursue a career in business management.
John held various management positions in several different companies, spending the last 16 years in the operations department at Sysco Foods in Virginia. After retiring from Sysco in 2013, John and his lovely wife, Krissy, moved to Steamboat Springs where John hopes to spend the rest of his work-life taking care of customers and cars at Doc’s Auto Clinic.
