A Lifelong Passion for Precision

Cars have always been more than a job for 53 Auto owner Bill Huggins — they’ve been a lifelong passion. After graduating from Wichita Area Technical College in 1992, Bill began his career at a large Wichita dealership, where his skills and curiosity quickly led him toward European vehicles. While others avoided them, Bill saw an opportunity to master the precision engineering that makes these cars exceptional.

Over the years, he trained with Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi, BMW, Land Rover, and Jaguar, developing the expertise that defines 53 Auto today. His commitment to craftsmanship and accuracy eventually earned him a management role at one of Wichita’s premier independent European repair shops — experience that shaped his vision for doing things the right way.

Built on Integrity, Driven by Expertise

In 2019, Bill and his wife, Lori, opened 53 Auto with a simple philosophy: fix it right the first time and treat people honestly and fairly. Bill believes that expert diagnostics are the foundation of every successful repair. Instead of replacing parts and hoping for results, the 53 Auto team takes the time to identify the root cause of every issue — saving customers time, frustration, and money.

The 53 Auto Difference

Today, 53 Auto combines dealership-level skill with the personalized service of a trusted local shop. Whether you drive a European performance vehicle or a family SUV, you’ll receive clear communication, honest recommendations, and the quality workmanship your car deserves.

Trusted repair. Precision craftsmanship. Integrity in every job we do.
