The beginning of Route 103 Auto…
The journey of Route 103 Auto began not too long ago when Roger, a car enthusiast from a young age, discovered his passion for automobiles. From watching stock car races to rebuilding and painting cars, and eventually buying and selling them, Roger’s life revolved around the automotive world. His early exposure to automotive repair came when he had the chance to rebuild a 1973 VW Superbeetle with his father, sparking a deep-seated love for automotive craftsmanship.

Despite facing setbacks in pursuing his dream of an auto repair course in school, Roger’s determination led him to a successful career in a Hardwood Millwork shop. While building a family and owning a business, his passion for cars remained alive. Rebuilding cars with his children became cherished memories, reigniting his childhood dream of owning an auto repair business.

Family Owned & Operated

Life was off to a great start for Roger - marriage, a house, and a family all followed closely behind. Shortly after getting married, the full-time job turned into an opportunity to own the business. Roger and his brother-in-law went into business together, and over the next 20 years Vermont Hardwoods turned into a very well-established hardwood millwork facility. During all that time, Roger never lost his passion for cars. He was blessed with three boys and two girls over the years. As they grew into young adults, he was given the opportunity to rebuild several cars alongside his kids. To this day, he and his kids remember those times very fondly!

Serving Customers & Servicing Cars–Since 2010

This was when Roger felt his passion for cars re-ignite. He began thinking of following his childhood dream of buying an autobody or auto repair business. In 2009, Roger's dream seemed within reach as he found an autobody shop for sale. However, a last-minute setback left him jobless. Undeterred, Roger and his wife Ruthanne decided to turn their personal garage into Route 103 Auto, combining his love for serving people with his passion for cars.

In June 2010, Route 103 Auto opened its doors, initially a one-person operation handled entirely by Roger. As business grew, Ruthanne joined in, and additional hands were brought on board. In a blink, 11 years had passed, and Route 103 Auto was a growing company in need of expansion.

In 2021, Route 103 Auto successfully acquired the location of Head’s Up Motorsports, previously used for racecar repairs, restoration services, and antique & classic vehicle repair. While we no longer offer those specific services, the new location now more than doubles our capacity, allowing us to continue providing the service experience that our clients have come to know and love. Route 103 Auto continues to uphold its core values of honesty, integrity, and a commitment to excellent customer service and high-quality repairs.

Your automotive repair experience with us is an opportunity to redefine quality service. Trust Route 103 Auto to bring your automotive dreams to life with passion, expertise, and a commitment to excellence that stands true to our founding values.
