About Stellers Garage in Shelton, CT

We are tradition

George Steller started the business in the early 1950's. Through hard work and reliable service, George built the foundation for what Stellers Garage is today. What started as a small one bay repair garage has turned into a six bay automotive service station. Throughout the years, Stellers has changed hands, not just to anyone but to dedicated employees that have known customers and their cars for years. Many people still ask about Phil Cayer who bought the business in the 1970's after years of working for George. Phil added his own insight and many improvements to the company. In 1996, Phil sold the business to Erik Lydiksen — an employee since 1983 — and Kevin Reichelt. The name Stellers Garage has been kept to assure customers that we still provide quality service, generations have come to know.

We are diverse

We also offer 24 hour towing and recovery. Locked out? Out of gas? Flat tire? Just won't start? We can help! Need to move a vehicle or even equipment? We offer a flatbed towing service. All of our wrecker drivers are highly experienced in towing and recovery. Rollovers, down embankments, stuck in the mud up to the axles — we've seen it all and can get you moving again.

All of our Towing staff have taken Towing Certification classes through Towing & Recovery Professionals of CT.
