Saturday July 19th, 2025. See details below.
This year, Old Town Auto Service proudly celebrates 50 years of serving the Eureka community and drivers across Humboldt County. It's a milestone that reflects not just the years on the calendar, but the generations of trust, hard work, and passion that have built the foundation of our business.
When Wally Cunningham and his wife Sharon first opened the doors of Old Town Brake & Front End on April 1, 1975, automotive shops typically specialized in one or two key areas. True to the times, Wally focused on brakes and front-end repairs, offering expert workmanship and friendly service that quickly earned him a loyal customer base.
As word spread about Wally’s skill and integrity, the business grew. It became a true family affair when Wally's son, Steve, joined the team. Steve quickly developed into a talented technician and eventually took on the role of shop manager, ensuring the Cunningham legacy of quality and service continued to thrive.
As the current owners of Old Town Auto Service, Steve and his wife Lacee are continuing the Cunningham family's tradition of excellence while offering career growth opportunities to their exceptional crew. Their commitment to quality, integrity, and community has made Old Town Auto Service a trusted name in Humboldt County for half a century.
Over the years, we've expanded far beyond our original brake and front-end services to meet the changing needs of our customers. Some of the services we now proudly offer include:
- Complete automotive diagnostics and computerized engine analysis
- Brake repair and service
- Suspension and steering repairs
- Electrical system diagnostics and repair
- Heating and air conditioning service
- Scheduled maintenance services
- Fleet service and repair
- Pre-purchase inspections
- Transmission service and repair
And because vehicles are more advanced than ever before, we are deeply committed to investing in ongoing training for our technicians. We believe that delivering expert service and top-quality results you can trust means staying ahead of industry changes and technology. Our team undergoes regular training and certification to ensure your vehicle is in the best possible hands, no matter how new — or how vintage — it may be.
This 50-year journey has only been possible thanks to the incredible support of our customers, our hardworking team, and the community we call home. Whether you've been with us since the early days or just recently became part of the Old Town Auto Service family, we are truly grateful for your trust.
