According to Steamboat Pilot & Today, Bob Wallace opened Wallace Autos back in April 2022 after taking a break from the automotive industry to build houses.

Wallace said in the article that he has enjoyed working with cars since he was 15 years old. He owned a shop in Denver, Colorado, for 10 years and is looking forward to the future with his new shop in Steamboat Springs.

Wallace Auto takes over a space that was previously Bear's Automotive. It has two lifts and offers a variety of services including oil changes, engine and transmission work, clutches, brakes, exhaust, tires, and more.
