Kantz's Auto and Trailer Solutions
A Legacy of Excellence in Lafayette, INFor nearly half a century, the community of Lafayette, Indiana has gone to the same place for their auto and trailer repairs. Kantz’s Auto and Trailer Solutions opened its doors in 2015, but the history extends much further back than that. Kantz’s aims to carry on a legacy that began back in 1936, in an establishment called Hoffine’s Garage, where Steve Kantz worked for 32 years. When Hoffine’s Garage closed their doors, Steve wanted to honor the legacy of the shop he worked at for so long, and to this day they are in the same building, and even use the same phone number so the lifelong customers would be able to reach them the same way they have for decades. Built on Family Values and a Legacy of Service
Kantz’s Auto and Trailer Solutions is much more than a business—it’s a legacy. Steve Kantz established the company with a straightforward mission: to deliver dependable, honest service to the people of Lafayette. Over the decades, that mission has remained unchanged, even as the business has evolved to meet the demands of modern auto and trailer care. Today, Kantz’s embodies the values of hard work, dedication, and community that Steve brought to every repair, creating a lasting impact on both customers and employees.
A Community-Driven Approach
The team at Kantz's Auto and Trailer Solutions takes pride in being a vital part of Lafayette's fabric. Their connection to the community runs deep, and it’s reflected in the personal attention they provide to each customer. Many of their clients are second- or even third-generation customers—proof of the trust and relationships built over the years. Whether it’s a routine tune-up or a custom trailer hitch installation, every job at Kantz’s is handled with care, ensuring drivers leave with peace of mind.
Comprehensive Services Backed by Expertise
At Kantz’s, their expertise goes beyond just fixing vehicles—it’s about delivering solutions. The company specializes in a wide array of services, from auto repairs to comprehensive trailer overhauls. Their team of skilled technicians handles everything from engine and transmission repairs to electrical diagnostics and maintenance. However, where Kantz truly shines is in its trailer services. From custom hitch installations to trailer wiring and repair, they ensure that drivers are equipped for the road ahead, no matter the journey.
Customer Commitment That Stands Out
What sets Kantz's Auto and Trailer Solutions apart is its unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. Each interaction is guided by a commitment to transparency and professionalism. As one long-time customer shared:
“I could not be happier with the service I have received at Kantz’s. They are honest and fair in price and really seem to care about their customers. I get all three of my vehicles oil changes/maintenance to recently having them install and sell me running boards on my truck. Check them out, you won’t be sorry!”
This reputation for excellence isn’t just anecdotal—it’s backed by a near-perfect 4.8-star rating across dozens of reviews. Customers repeatedly praise the team’s efficiency, expertise, and friendly service, demonstrating how Kantz’s has earned its place as a trusted partner for drivers in the region.
Looking to the Future
As Kantz's Auto and Trailer Solutions looks ahead, the company remains committed to its founding principles while embracing opportunities for growth and innovation. Steve Kantz’s vision of a customer-first business continues to guide every decision, ensuring that future generations of Lafayette drivers will benefit from the same trusted service that’s defined Kantz’s for decades.
Whether you're a long-time customer or visiting for the first time, Kantz’s Auto and Trailer Solutions promises an experience rooted in community values, technical expertise, and an unwavering commitment to your satisfaction. From helping customers safely tow their dreams to keeping their vehicles running smoothly, Kantz’s is honoring the legacy of customer service and reliability that seems all too rare in recent years.
