Auto repair shop strives for honesty in business
EVART — After selling the company he and his brothers built from the ground up, Chuck Leutz couldn’t stay out of the auto repair business. With a variety of experience in body work, auto repair and vehicle rebuilding, Leutz owned and operated five auto businesses in Evart and Baldwin before selling the businesses a few years ago. “I’ve done body work my whole life, so when I sold my other business, people started bringing their cars to my house,” Leutz said. “When you serve a community for 30 years, they put their trust in you.” In 2010, Leutz built Leutz’s Pro Fix in Evart, which he owns with his son, Ben. Though the shop does not do body work, it specializes in complete vehicle maintenance, such as brake repair, oil changes and transmission work. The business works to maintain customer trust by upholding standards of honesty and integrity. When a customer wanted a quote for a specialized exhaust replacement, Chuck sought to find her the best deal. “I called around to a few exhaust shops and got her some estimates,” he said. “I knew they were cheaper than I could have done it, and she told me, ‘Thanks for your honesty.’” With a Bible next to the computer on his desk and a Christian “icthus” symbol as part of his business logo, the Evart business owners are not shy about the Christian principles that drive their business. “We’re all believers in Christ, so why not advertise that?” Chuck said. Having recently expanded his shop to include two more garage bays for work space, he plans to increase his business by building a body shop across the parking lot in the future.
