Joel and Stewart Schwadron opened the Auto Center in 1960. After Joel retired, Stewart and his son Gary continued to run it. Stewart retired in 2010, and Gary’s son David joined our auto repair business as a mechanic in 2013.

The family’s dream was to build a business that would serve the community while establishing a legacy of integrity and honesty in the auto repair business. It’s clear that the dream succeeded. We’re happy to be the hometown mechanic that people in Peekskill can count on. Jo-Lea Automotive Center can handle your scheduled maintenance, do an engine light diagnostic, and tell you why your car is making that funny noise. We’re an authorized state inspection station. We also repair upholstery, provide 24-hour key drops, and offer free wi-fi while you’re waiting for your car repair. There’s no reason to go elsewhere for a mechanic. At Jo-Lea, we aim to become your first and last stop for all your auto repair needs. Jo-Lea Automotive Center brings honesty and quality to auto repair and upholstery while helping customers keep their cars safe and reliable.
