The Schneider Family relocated to the Shoals in late 2007 to escape the congestion and rat race that California has become. After 40+ years in the automotive service business, we thought we would try something other then auto service to keep busy. It was exciting meeting folks and living in the country and seeking out opportunities in under served areas of business. What we found out was one of the biggest under served areas is what we new best! So in late 2009 a small shop originally opened in 1967 Bruce Automotive Center, on Royal Ave. in East Flo. was reopened with Jim Schneider as it's operator. The intent was to offer professional service and repair for European models, as folks where driving at lest 75 miles for service. The name was later changed to Schneider Autohaus LLC. In Sept. 2013 a fire destroyed the business. Was able to reopen a month later to it's current location, 3711 Florence Blvd. Since then the "Haus" has been covered up with the best customers ever. They bring there Domestic and Asian cars as well. Call 256-712-5596 or visit us today!
Born and raised in California. Life was filled with fun opportunities growing up, and seemed to be attracted to anything with wheels and interested in what makes them work. This was interrupted by serving four years in a Navy fighter squadron, (loved airplanes as well). Life performing aircraft maintenance on a Aircraft Carrier was rewarding. Learned a lot about the importance of proper maintenance and doing it right the first time. After my service in the USN I attended a two year Auto Tech trade college to round out my education, and became a automotive service professional. After over 40 years in the trade, the last 18 in business for myself, we relocated to Florence, Alabama to get away from overcrowding and traffic mess. When I discovered that there were no shops offering service for European imports, I knew I had to take advantage of this opportunity. Its been nothing but a unbelievable success since opening shop in late 2009. Thank You to all our great customers.
