About Butch's Complete Car Care

Butch Kasnowicz has been working on cars and trucks since he was knee-high to a crescent wrench, getting his first taste of auto mechanics before he was even a teen. With four brothers also in the business you could say it in his genes.

In 1972, during the summer following the 8th grade, Butch worked a steady shift from 7 a.m. until the early evening at his Dad's Amoco station. Later on, he'd stick around the shop, so he could build monster trucks and then run them at the Silver Lake dunes. Butch earned his mechanic's license in 1976, and by 1981, he'd learned enough to make a go of it on his own.

He started "Butch's Complete Car Care" at the Alpine Avenue address where for 30 years and running, he's served his hometown community. In all that time, Kasnowicz has been a firm believer in delivering first-rate service, and at a competitive price not influenced by what he terms "fancy showrooms and kiddie play grounds like you'll find at dealerships."

Butch's has been known to go the extra mile as well, in picking up and delivering work to their clients. It makes for long hours, but it also makes for satisfied customers, and word-of-mouth testimony that can't be bought. "I figure that in another 100 years, I'm gonna give it up," he says, "but in the meantime, I'm going to continue to service the people in my community, just like I've been doing since 1972.

"You Can Count On It."
