    Steve | Fixed Operations Director

    Steve is the Fixed Operations Director for Michael Hohl Automotive, overseeing service and parts operations for Michael Hohl Honda, Michael Hohl Subaru and the group’s General Motors dealership. He brings more than 40 years of automotive service and fixed operations experience to his role and has been part of the Michael Hohl Automotive team for more than 12 years.

    Steve began his automotive career as a Service Advisor, spending seven years working directly with customers before being promoted into service management. Over the course of his career, he has worked with a wide variety of automotive brands and built extensive experience in service operations, leadership and dealership development.

    Before joining Michael Hohl Automotive, Steve also owned and operated a fixed operations consulting firm, working with dealerships to strengthen their service and parts departments. After joining Michael Hohl, he initially took responsibility for the Honda store and just one month later added Subaru to his responsibilities. Today, he oversees fixed operations across all three Michael Hohl dealerships.

    Steve has also played an important role in the growth of Michael Hohl Subaru. He was closely involved with the expansion of the Subaru facility, contributing to everything from construction and service department design to decisions involving service bays, technicians and the needs of a growing operation.

    Throughout his career, team building has remained one of Steve’s greatest strengths and one of the parts of leadership he values most. After more than four decades in the automotive industry, he enjoys seeing people grow in their careers and takes pride in the legacy he continues to help build at Michael Hohl Automotive.

    Originally from Southern California, Steve moved to Northern Nevada in 2004. Long before his automotive career, he played college baseball as both a shortstop and pitcher. He remains an enthusiastic sports fan, and golf is one of his biggest passions.

    Steve is married and has six children, eight grandchildren and a cat named Ted, who presumably has no interest whatsoever in fixed operations.

    Hi, I’m Jeff. I have 19 years of experience in the automotive industry, primarily in automotive parts. Believe it or not, I didn’t know I was a “car guy” until I found my way into this business.

    At first, learning the complexities of vehicles and understanding how all the pieces work together was an uphill battle. Over time, that challenge became something I genuinely enjoyed, especially when I realized how rewarding it was to help people keep their cars on the road. Whether I’m helping solve a maintenance mystery, finding the right Honda parts for a repair, or tracking down what someone needs for a project, there’s a lot of satisfaction in finding the right solution.

    Over the years, many customers have become familiar faces and even friends, which is why taking care of people has always been a priority for me. I look forward to helping our Michael Hohl Honda customers in Carson City, Reno, and throughout Northern Nevada with their automotive parts needs.

    I also like long walks on the beach…
