By Bill DeBoer on Feb 3, 2026 1:16:25 PM
Winter Isn’t Letting Up: Why Staying Ahead of Maintenance is the key to living life uninterrupted.
After a couple of snowstorms that dumped on us in January, it feels like the winter weather is just not letting up. When the snow starts piling up and the temperatures plummet toward zero, the last thing you want to deal with is a vehicle that won't cooperate.

A Decade of Excellence: Celebrating 10 Years of Josh Kays
By Bill DeBoer on Jan 28, 2026 11:18:00 AM
If you’ve driven through Hamburg anytime over the last decade with your eyes open, you’ve seen the transformation. Since 2016, DeBoer’s Auto has evolved from a two-bay local shop into a multi-location business, including the expansion of our Fleet Truck Center. It’s been a whirlwind of growth, and running alongside the growth with excitement is our own: Josh Kays.
Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate Josh’s 10th anniversary with the DeBoer’s family. Often called "The Rock" by the team, Josh hasn't just witnessed our growth—he’s been instrumental in building it.

Don't Let Your Car Hold You Hostage: Why the REPAIR Act Matters to YOU!
By Bill DeBoer on Jan 20, 2026 11:45:00 AM
Hey fellow drivers!
Ever felt like your car is getting smarter, but your options for fixing it are getting dumber? You’re not alone. In an age where everything from your phone to your fridge is "smart," our cars are becoming rolling computers that generate a massive amount of data. And who controls that data? Often, it's the car manufacturers, not you, the owner!
This is exactly why the REPAIR Act (Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair) is so incredibly important for every single one of us who owns a vehicle.

The Power of Preventive Maintenance
By Bill DeBoer on Dec 26, 2025 1:44:59 PM
Part 3: Reducing Costs and Extending Vehicle Life
If our goal is to treat car ownership as an investment, then preventive maintenance is the cornerstone of that strategy. It’s about transforming the stress of a potential breakdown into a predictable, manageable routine. At DeBoer's Auto, we encourage every driver—whether you're commuting to work or managing a small business fleet—to see maintenance as an investment that directly lowers your Cost Per Mile (CPM).

Budgeting for Auto Repairs:
By Bill DeBoer on Dec 18, 2025 1:19:00 AM
Part 2: Strategies to Minimize Financial Surprises
For many car owners, the phrase "unexpected repair" is enough to derail a household budget. At DeBoer's Auto, we see this frequently: a single breakdown can suddenly cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. But what if those costs weren't emergencies? What if they were predictable investments?
