Meet Our Owner

His mechanical experience early in life landed him his first job in the auto repair business as a service technician. He quickly became a Mazda Master Technician, specializing in the diagnosis and servicing of the very complicated rotary engine of the Mazda RX-7. After 10 years working at the dealership, he decided to open his own auto repair business in 1993. Not only was Steve servicing Mazdas, he was also involved in racecar preparation and engine building! He quickly expanded his knowledge and became an expert in repairing all Japanese-made vehicles with an emphasis on Lexus and Toyota.

After a decade as a Master Technician for Japanese cars, Stephen started his own business servicing the South Bay’s auto repair needs in 1993. The goal was to provide auto mechanic services for Japanese cars locally. He now personally manages a team that oversees, inspects, services and test drives vehicles serviced at both LexService locations in the South Bay and Artesia areas. Now with almost three decades in the auto service repair business, Steve knows the importance of quality automotive repair. He is aware that customers are always looking for a reliable auto repair shop where they can take their vehicle and someone they can trust for the life of their automobile.

In the uncertain world of auto service, Steve and his staff have earned and maintained a reputation as maintenance and repair specialists by being trustworthy, honest and ethical.

One of Steve’s hobbies is racecar driving, both professionally and as an amateur. He is both an avid enthusiast and a participant! Steve has even been called upon to share his expertise and lecture at local colleges.

LexService is a fully licensed and insured business to service all Japanese car makes and models in the South Bay and Artesia, CA. For more information, give us a call today!
