About Us

At Gearhead Autoworks, our mission is simple: provide honest, transparent, and professional automotive service for our neighbors in Maize, Wichita, and the surrounding areas. Locally owned and operated, our shop is built on trust, expertise, and a genuine love for cars and trucks. Every vehicle that comes through our doors is treated as if it belongs to our own family, because for us, automotive care is more than a business; it’s personal.


From oil changes and brake service to complex diagnostics, transmission replacements, and performance upgrades, we work on domestic, Asian, and European vehicles with the same dedication and attention to detail. We pride ourselves on delivering dealer-level service without the dealership pressure, making sure every customer leaves with confidence in their vehicle’s safety and performance.


A Family-Driven Shop in Maize, KS

Gearhead Autoworks isn’t a chain, but it’s our family, our name, and our livelihood. Kyle Koerner, our owner, brings both formal training and real-world experience to the shop. With an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science for Automotive Technology, years of work in local dealerships, and continuous education to stay ahead of the latest automotive technology, Kyle ensures that every automotive service meets or exceeds industry standards.

After working in several Wichita-area dealerships, Kyle noticed a trend toward predatory practices and realized he could bring something different to the automotive industry. At Gearhead Autoworks, we focus on thorough inspections, clear communication, and complete transparency, treating every customer like family. That approach not only builds trust but also allows us to sleep easily at night, knowing we are doing right by our neighbors.


Kyle and his wife are proud parents of three kids, and their family-oriented mindset extends into the shop culture. Being invested in the local community means more than just providing excellent automotive service. It’s about building relationships, supporting local initiatives, and being a trusted resource for vehicle repair in Maize and other parts of the Midwest like Wichita, KS.


Expertise You Can Trust

Cars and trucks aren’t just machines to us, but they’re puzzles we love to solve. Kyle has been mechanically inclined since childhood, taking apart skateboards, bicycles, and his first car just to understand how things worked. That same curiosity fuels our diagnostic approach today. We excel at accurately and efficiently identifying problems, delivering solutions that are both reliable and long-lasting.


Our technicians are ASE master-certified and certified and trained on all makes and models. This gives us an edge in diagnosing, maintaining, and performing repairs to dealer specifications and beyond. We complement this expertise with our 65+ Point Vehicle Health Report for every service, providing customers with peace of mind and a clear understanding of their vehicle’s condition.
