Van Wyk Auto relocates to Town of Sheboygan
It's the latest business to move to the town from the City of Sheboygan
TOWN OF SHEBOYGAN — Van Wyk Auto, a family-owned repair shop, has relocated to their new new service facility near Highway 42 and Enterprise Drive.
The expansion marks a major milestone in the company’s growth, establishing Van Wyk Auto as the largest independent auto repair shop in Sheboygan County.
The new 13-bay facility at 4040 Enterprise Drive in the Town of Sheboygan doubles the shop’s capacity. The increased space will significantly reduce wait times and increase service efficiency for customers. It also features modern equipment, a dedicated alignment bay, and a comfortable customer lounge complete with a coffee bar, making vehicle maintenance more comfortable and convenient than ever.
“This new location is a big step forward for both our customers and our team,” said Ben Van Wyk, owner of Van Wyk Auto. Founded in 1977 as Doug’s Auto Service, the business evolved through several ownerships before Van Wyk took the helm in 2019. “We’ve always built our reputation on honesty, reliability, and family values. With this expansion, we can serve more families and businesses while maintaining the same small-town trust our customers depend on.”
The Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation (SCEDC) played a supportive role in Van Wyk Auto’s expansion, which provided guidance and resources to help the company plan and finance the project. This collaboration reflects the SCEDC’s ongoing commitment to empowering local, family-owned businesses and strengthening Sheboygan County’s economy.
Beyond additional capacity, the new facility represents a major investment in the local community. Van Wyk Auto’s expansion creates new jobs for technicians and support staff, while offering a modern, welcoming environment for customers.
“This expansion is more than just a bigger shop,” said Josh Joyce, the company’s Marketing Director. “It’s about providing better service, creating opportunities, and continuing a tradition of local ownership and care.”
