"We take great pride in what we do let us prove it to you!"
Appel Auto Service was founded in 2001 by Kevin Appel. His interest in the automotive field started very early. Kevin began repairing cars in 1972; this was a necessity for the reason he could not afford to pay someone to do it for him.
Kevin graduated from W.T. Clarke High School in Westbury with a regent's diploma for mechanical engineering. Soon after graduation Kevin decided mechanical engineering was not for him and started working as an apprentice in the automotive field. His interest was very strong and he began taking as many courses as he could afford to attend while working. Kevin started his first business at the young age of nineteen but soon after six months he realized he was not ready and took a job working for a local Mobil Gasoline repair service station. After seven short years he was determined to attempt a new business of his own, he started his own "Mobil" brand franchise auto repair gasoline service station "Appel Automotive" in Shirley, N.Y. in the early part of 1981. Kevin stayed with that oil company for a twenty year run and decided in the beginning of 2001 to start again.
This became the birth of Appel Auto Service!
Some could say that Kevin is a neat freak, but he keeps his automotive repair shop squeaky clean in all aspects in order to provide the best service for his customers.
His building is customized to the way he likes! This clean, neat and productive work place is located in Port Jefferson Village, conveniently near the train station.
When you call Appel Auto Service you may have the pleasure of speaking with Kathie Appel (Kevin's wife) to schedule an appointment or answer an auto related question.

Kevin is a hands on kind of guy and even after all these years, loves cars and the rewards of a job done correctly and in a timely fashion. He still works with his hands and mind on many cars a week.
