Full-Service Auto Repair in Kaukauna, WI
From oil changes and tire service to brake repair, engine work, ADAS calibration, and everything in between, Al Huss Auto & Truck handles it all under one roof. We've been the trusted auto repair shop for families and businesses across Kaukauna and Northeast Wisconsin for over 30 years, and every vehicle that comes through our doors gets the same thing: honest service, skilled technicians, and repairs done right the first time.
What We Do for Kaukauna Drivers Every Day
Auto Air Conditioning & Heater Repair
A Wisconsin winter is no place for a broken heater, and a Wisconsin summer is no place for a broken A/C. We service both R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant systems using our Bosch and Robinair A/C machines, and our team holds federal and state A/C certification. If your system isn't keeping up, bring it in and we'll take care of it.
Preventative Maintenance
The best repair is the one you never need. We offer fluid services, filter replacements, belt and hose inspections, and our full lineup of BG "K" services to keep small issues from becoming expensive ones. We'll tell you what's due now, what's coming up, and what can wait.
ADAS Services
The cameras and sensors behind features like automatic braking, lane assist, and blind spot monitoring need to be precisely calibrated to work correctly. Even a windshield replacement or an alignment can throw them off. We are one of the very few independent shops in the area with the Hunter ADAS machine to handle this accurately. A handful of select dealerships in the area have this equipment. Most don't, and almost no independent shops do. We do.
Oil Change
A fresh oil change is the simplest thing you can do to protect your engine. We offer full synthetic and synthetic blend options to match your vehicle and driving habits. Quick stop, long-term payoff.
Brake Repair
Your brakes are the most important safety system on your vehicle, full stop. Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal, or a longer stopping distance are all signs to bring it in. We perform full inspections, pad replacements, rotor service, and caliper repairs on all makes and models, and we'll show you exactly what we found before any work begins.
Steering & Suspension Repair
A pull, a shimmy, or a rougher ride than usual are all worth paying attention to. Worn shocks, struts, and tie rods affect your comfort, your tire wear, and your control of the vehicle. Bring it in and we'll take a look.
Diagnostics
Guessing at a repair wastes your time and your money. We use Snap-On scanners and MDI diagnostic tools to find the real source of the problem first. Once we know what's going on, we walk you through it in plain language and invite you into the shop to see it for yourself.
Tire Services & Sales
We carry a selection of tires and offer full tire services using our Hunter tire machines, including installation, balancing, rotation, and repairs. Whether you need a fresh set before winter or a patch after a road hazard, we've got you covered.
Engine Repair & Replacement
From a sensor replacement to a full engine swap, our technicians have the experience to handle it. Modern engines involve increasingly complex components that require a skilled hand and the right equipment. We diagnose thoroughly, explain clearly, and repair correctly.
Transmission Repair & Replacement
Transmission issues can start small and get costly fast. We diagnose accurately and recommend the right solution for your vehicle and your budget, whether that's a fluid service, a repair, or a full replacement.
Electrical Repair
Electrical problems can show up in all kinds of ways, from warning lights and dead accessories to no-start conditions and charging issues. We trace the problem to its source and fix it properly, not just patch it.
Vehicle Inspections
We offer state inspections, pre-trip inspections, and pre-purchase inspections. Buying a used vehicle, heading up north, or just want to know where things stand before winter? We'll go through it thoroughly and give you an honest picture of what we find.
Fleet Maintenance
Local businesses across Northeast Wisconsin count on us to keep their vehicles safe, compliant, and on the road. We offer DOT inspections, scheduled maintenance, brake and tire service, and general repairs across all makes and models. Downtime costs you money, and we work hard to minimize it.
Wheel Alignment
Proper alignment protects your tires, improves fuel efficiency, and keeps your vehicle tracking straight. We use our Hunter ADAS alignment machine, one of the most advanced systems in the area, for precise results on passenger vehicles, trucks, and larger vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my vehicle needs a repair or just routine maintenance?
The honest answer is that regular inspections are the best way to stay ahead of it. Every time your vehicle comes in, our technicians perform a thorough inspection and give you a clear picture of what's due now, what's coming up, and what can wait. We'll never recommend something you don't need.
Do you work on both cars and trucks?
Yes, we service a wide range of domestic and import vehicles, including passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks. We see a lot of Ford, Chevy, Ram, Jeep, Toyota, Mazda, and Honda vehicles in our shop and are fully equipped for all of them.
What makes Al Huss Auto and Truck different from a dealership?
You get the same quality of repair, but with a more personal experience. Our ASE Master Certified technicians use dealership-caliber equipment, including our Hunter ADAS machine, Snap-On scanners, and Bosch and Robinair A/C systems. The difference is that here, you're treated like a neighbor. We explain what your vehicle needs, show you why, and let you make the call.
How long have you been in business?
Al Huss started the shop out of his home garage back in 1991. More than 30 years later, we're still here, still family-owned, and still focused on the same thing we always have been: doing right by the people who bring their vehicles to us.
