Many automotive service shops have unique needs. That’s why Pioneer Steel offers custom design options to make your building work for you. Add multiple garage bay doors, specific work areas, skylights, insulation, ventilation, and even office or showroom space—all tailored to your operation.
Whether you’re servicing 3 cars or 30, your building can be configured to fit your exact workflow.
Low Maintenance, Long-Term Value
Pioneer Steel buildings are built to last and they are maintenance free. Unlike wood-framed shops, steel doesn’t rot, warp, or invite termites. With little to no upkeep and long-term durability, your steel auto shop becomes a high-value asset that pays for itself over time.
