About Us

Hi, I’m Matt Alvarado, owner of Fausett’s. 

This shop isn’t just where I work — it’s where I’ve poured in years of hard work, long hours, and a lot of heart. What started as a small engine repair center has grown into a full-service automotive shop that proudly serves the Adel community and beyond.

At the center of everything I do is family. My wife, Levi, and our two kids are the reason I show up every day with purpose. They’re the “why” behind the high standards we hold ourselves to — and the reason I care so much about running a business that puts people first.

Levi also runs a wedding photography business, Levi Alvarado Photography, and when I can, I shoot weddings alongside her. It’s a completely different world from running the shop, but it’s something we love doing together — another way we serve others and build a life we’re proud of.

We’ve added some personal photos here so you can see the real faces behind the business. We’re not a corporate chain. We’re your neighbors, your friends, and your go-to team when something breaks or needs fixing. And we’re proud to offer honest work, fair prices, and service that’s personal — because that’s how we’d want to be treated too.

Thanks for getting to know us. We look forward to helping however we can — whether it’s with your vehicle or your small engine equipment, we’re here to serve.
