"We had a great experience from start to finish with Valley Autohaus after my son was hit by someone who ran a red light last spring. They are great with communication and managing expectations. We will be back for any body work that we need done."

A BIT ABOUT US
We are Bill and Chris, the owners here at Raider Automotive, LLC / Valley Autohaus. We purchased this business in September of 2018, and have been honored to serve our hometown community since. We both are residents of Northfield and have raised our families here. We are big Raider fans, as many of our children played for Northfield High School, hence the Raider Automotive name! Giving back to our community is important to us, and we are proud sponsors of many local sports teams and activities.
Chris has over 25 years of experience in collision work, and Bill has worked in the car business for over 30 years.
Our goal is to create an honest and reliable experience for you. We aim to "get it done right the first time", and provide you with detailed and honest estimates with no surprises. We understand the stress that car problems can bring, and we want to make your experience with us as seamless as possible, while earning your business in the process.
For any of your automotive, collision, or towing needs, please contact us, and we will work to provide you with the most desirable service and experience we can.
Sincerely,
Bill, Chris, and the Raider Automotive team
*Our true entity name has always been Raider Automotive, LLC, and we are now in the process of officially switching our signage. However, we plan to keep our towing part of the business as Valley AutoHaus.
