Kim Sooter

Kim came home in 2009 to learn the family business so her father could retire. The importance of family, integrity, and history made it important for her to carry out her grandfather Joe’s dream. She has solely run the business since and bought the business in 2016. She has taken automotive classes through Pima Community College, is the secretary for the Tucson Chapter ASA, and sits on the board for the automotive JTED program. Kim’s hobbies include cycling, water skiing, camping, hiking, and just about anything else outdoors.

I’m in my early 40s and have been a technician in the automotive repair industry for over 20 years. I have a passion for fixing and solving problems on vehicles and take pride in the work I do for a living. I’m a father of three amazing boys who are my world. I’m an avid hiker and rock climber and love exploring Mother Nature. On the weekends, you’ll find me hiking, rock climbing, camping, exploring, four-wheeling, road-tripping, or anything outdoors. I also play drums, love photography, and watch football with my kids.

I’m in my early 20s and am just getting started in the automotive industry. I enjoy working with my hands and learning new things. I strive to be the best I can be! I also love being outdoors, music, and hanging out with my brothers and family. I spend my free time playing the guitar, watching movies, camping, exploring the desert, or skateboarding.

We've been going to Sooter's for a number of years. Kim and her crew do honest and outstanding work. Recently had breaks and a timing belt repair. They provided an accurate estimate and completed the work as promised. Highly recommend Sooters!

Was in Tucson on a work trip and my rental was making a weird noise. Took the van and was in and out in 15 minutes, with a stray piece of plastic being the culprit for the noise. They didn’t charge me a dime!! Highly recommend this shop!!

This was my first experience with Sooters. They were very kind and professional. Their estimates were fair. They delivered on the service and prompt in completing the work. I will definitely be bringing my vehicles in the future.

I had such a kind and comforting experience taking my car into Sooters. Kim and Cruise were both so accommodating. Auto shops can be such male dominated spaces that aren’t always as accommodating with women. I felt heard and respected in this shop. You could tell the mechanics had a sense of camaraderie. I had called several other shops for a quote and they had the best rate and the best hospitality. 10/10 🤌

I work at Brooklyn pizza and got a flat tire on a delivery. I called and they said they could fix it for me. Got in done in a cinch. Shoutout Cruz!!

Our daughters 4Runner had overheating issues due to a bad water pump and timing belt among other issues. I found Sooters online and after reading the reviews decided to have the vehicle towed to them so they could complete the repairs necessary. They communicate every step of the way even providing pics and videos of the items in need of repair, they completed the repairs the same day and for much cheaper than the dealer quote. Cruz and Kim (hope I got that name correct) are genuine, the mechanics are meticulous in diagnosing issues and completing repairs. Could NOT be HAPPIER-thank you Sooters for helping our daughter get home safe and on time for Christmas break from U is A. See you all next time
