Lee Myles Auto Care & Transmissions

What Lee Myles Auto Care & Transmissions does

Lee Myles Auto Care & Transmissions is a family-owned, independent automotive repair business operating four storefronts in Berks County, Pennsylvania (Reading, Birdsboro, Sinking Spring/Fritztown, and Wyomissing), founded in 2007 and co-owned by Darren Knepper and Jodi Knepper. The company services all vehicle makes and models — domestic, Asian, and European — with ASE-Certified Master Technicians and specialized transmission rebuilding capability, supported by advanced diagnostic and alignment equipment (Autel Ultra with Maxi Oscilloscope, Hunter Hawkeye Elite, Hunter Road-Force Tire Balancer).

The core technology layer is the SmartFlow paperless shop management system delivered through AutoVitals, which produces Digital Vehicle Health Reports combining photos, video, and text delivered to customers via email or text and enables two-way communication, online appointment scheduling, and real-time repair status. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through one-time service fees for repair, maintenance, and transmission work, with quote-based pricing following digital inspection; financing is facilitated through partnerships with NAPA, Koalafi, EasyPay, and Lendmark to expand affordability for higher-ticket jobs.

The business serves primarily individual vehicle owners in Southeast Pennsylvania, with a secondary fleet-services offering and operational differentiators including a 3-Year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty on repairs and a 3-year/100,000-mile warranty on transmission work. The headcount is approximately 30+ across all four sites, and the company is privately held with no disclosed funding, acquisitions, parent company, or external investors.
