He also enjoys getting to know his extended family who are his customers and employees.

Sam’s love for cars started as early as he can remember as he grew up helping his dad, Mike, at the shop. He got his degree in automotive technology and joined Deutmeyer Auto Advantage in 2014. Sam currently lives in Dyersville with his wife, Lydia, and their two boys, Banks and Crew. Outside of work, he enjoys boating, fishing, and playing sports. He loves helping our customers, seeing our staff being prideful in their work, and knowing everyone shares a common goal.

She is a graduate of Animal Behavior College with a degree in pet grooming, Kenzie enjoys spending time with her friends and going to the river. What she loves most about work is being greeted every day by the shop dog, Neela, and being accepted as family by the staff.

Cole studied Automotive Mechanics at NICC and joined our team in 2019. He lives in Dubuque with plans to move to Dyersville. In his spare time, he loves fishing, camping, and skiing. He’s a true techie and loves to fix and build computers in addition to cars. What Cole appreciates most about working at Deutmeyer Auto Advantage is that it’s a small business with an atmosphere and employees who keep it fun!
Steve Kewatt
Technician
Steve has been in automotive mechanics since 2010. He started his career studying at the Universal Technical Institute. He was a master tech at Chrysler/FCA and then a senior master tech at Ford before joining us in early 2025. Steve grew up in Minnesota and currently lives in Bloomington, WI with his wife, Brittany, and their 5 kids: Felicity, Cleo, Christian, Lilyan, and Jerry. He enjoys going for drives, mowing lawn, and playing games. His favorite thing about Deutmeyer Auto Advantage is that “everyone acts as a family and works together, which is such a great environment.”
Neela
Shop Greeter
Neela joined Deutmeyer Auto Advantage in 2014. She is a black lab mix and is a very friendly girl who loves people and treats! She enjoys showing off all the tricks she can do, playing fetch, and sleeping the day away on a repurposed bench seat from a Chevy pickup. We think Neela’s favorite thing about the shop is all the attention she gets from staff and customers – she’s a spoiled pup!
