20 YEARS OF AUTO REPAIR Mike Mayfield, owner and proprietor of Mayfield Auto Repair, never saw himself owning a business. Mike learned the tricks of the trade from his dad and always had an interest in cars, as his father was a mechanic for the City of West Plains, while he grew up.

At the age of 17, Mike started working at O’Reilly Auto Parts.

Shortly after starting at O’Reilly’s he decided to put his mechanical knowledge to use and got a second job for some extra money. Mike was hired at a local import shop owned by Justin Stanfield.

Three years later Mike decided that he wanted to be his own boss. In December of 1994, he opened his own shop, Mayfield Auto Repair. Mike had help from his younger sister, Valerie, working as Mike’s secretary. After graduating, Valerie moved on and the position was filled by his soon-to-be wife Lora, a former coworker from O’Reilly Auto Parts. Mike and Lora were wed that September. Lora

has ran the office throughout their entire business journey.

Family Owned and Operated Since 1995, Mayfield Auto Repair is celebrating 20 years of foreign and domestic repair, customer service, quality certified auto repair, proper, preventive maintenance and worry-free nationwide warranties on most repairs. They offer: service work, tune-ups, engine work, brakes, alignments, exhaust work, welding and fabrication.

Along with Mike and Lora, they employ five other employees.

They say “employees are like family.” Good technicians are hard to find, because of the ever changing technology and interest change, so keeping the ones you have is important.

Hours of operation for the shop are Monday through Thursday 7:30 am - 5:00 pm, Friday 8:00 am - 3:00 pm.
