Local Automotive has committed itself to achieving a reputation for honesty, straightforward advice and customer-oriented service. It is committed to high-quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.

Owner Steven Turner believes that business is built on these fundamental principles and because of this he has built a service department known for its expertise, proficiency, and friendly service.

Every day Steven and the Local Automotive team recommit themselves to offering the best customer service available. With this comes the company’s commitment to keeping current with technology, improving customer relations, and being there when you need them. That’s why the team is there 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

"We don’t just sell you automotive repair we help you buy it."

Steven came to Whistler in 1981 as an eager apprentice looking for a challenge. As luck would have it, as so often happens in this resort, jobs were plentiful. His first job was at the Gulf station, now the site of PetroCanada. As the years went by Steven sought other challenges at other repair facilities. After working for all the other automotive repair shops in Whistler at the time Steven decided it was time to open his own business, naming it for the ‘Locals’ of Whistler, whom he had come to respect and call his friends.

Committed to staying in the valley and working in the automotive field Steven bought the building that housed Local Automotive. That was eight years ago and his team is still there today and will be there tomorrow when you need them.

He is married with two kids and happy to call Whistler home for more than twenty years.

The company philosophy is to create value to the customer through dependable, affordable, reliable and courteous service.
