HISTORY
Bob’s Lil Car Hospital (BLCH) was founded in 1968 by Lyle and Delores Coulter. They specialized in Hondas and later air cooled Volkswagens. They later hired Robert (Bob) Ireton and expanded their business to include most Domestic and Asian vehicles. In 2003 Lyle and Delores decided to retire and sold their business to Bob and his wife Laurie on March 1, 2004. Later that year, Bob hired Charlie Zimmerman as a diagnostic technician and the following spring, his wife Kevena as a service advisor. Exactly 16 years later on March 1, 2020, Bob and Laurie sold to Kevena and Charlie.

CORE VALUES
Our core values are: Integrity, Reliability, Pride and Value
Integrity
We believe in being honest with our clients and with ourselves in order to become the best people, co-workers, and advisors to our clients that we can be. Integrity is not just standing behind our work but admitting when we made a mistake and didn’t live up to our own expectations of great customer service. Learning by experience is the way we all grow. We shouldn’t be afraid of failure if we’re trying, learning, and moving forward.
Reliability
We strive every day to do our work right the first time so our customers can trust their vehicle to get them where they need to go safely with little to no breakdowns.
Pride
Our work is our art and we want to apply attention to detail, pride, and the highest quality behind every vehicle we work on. We take pride in our work and always strive to do the best possible repairs with the best possible parts available.
Value
We believe the best repairs may not be the least expensive but the best value because quality repairs mean a more reliable vehicle with fewer breakdowns and overall a longer vehicle life.
