Because It’s an Addiction…
Bad Habit Auto & Adventure isn’t just a shop — it’s a lifestyle. We’re a full-service auto, off-road, ATV/UTV, and custom build shop based in Parowan, Utah, built for people who live to ride, wrench, and push their machines harder than most.
From daily drivers and work trucks to trail rigs, side-by-sides, and weekend toys, we keep engines running strong and builds moving forward — no shortcuts, no excuses.
Who We Are
Built by Gearheads.
Trusted by Locals
We’re not your average repair shop — and we don’t want to be. Bad Habit Auto & Adventure was built by people who live for late nights in the shop, early mornings on the trail, and the satisfaction of a machine running exactly the way it should.
With over 40 years of combined mechanical experience, our team brings deep knowledge, hands-on skill, and problem-solving instincts you can’t fake. Whether you’re chasing reliability, performance, or a one-of-a-kind build, we treat every rig like it’s our own.
Off-Road, ATV & UTV Specialists
Trail-Tested Performance You Can Trust
Custom Builds
Your Vision. Our Tools.
Every build tells a story — and we love bringing those stories to life.
From Suzuki Sidekick and Geo Tracker swaps to fully customized trail rigs, golf carts, and one-off projects, we turn ideas into machines that stand out and perform. We handle everything from fabrication and mechanical work to finishing touches that make your build uniquely yours.
If you’ve been dreaming it up in your head, it’s time to make it real.

No guessing. No parts-swapping. Just real diagnostics and real fixes.

Reviews & Reputation
5-Star Service That Speaks for Itself
Our customers know the difference between a quick fix and quality work — and it shows. We’re proud of our 5-star reputation and the trust our community places in us.
“We brought my boyfriends Dodge Truck with a hemi here to get heater core replaced and were met with a polite handshake from the owner, Mike, upon approaching the shop. This truck is my boyfriends favorite toy so I asked that special care be taken… a reassuring nod and big smile he replied “Absolutely, i understand and we will take good care of it!”
About 4 hours later we received a call saying our vehicle was ready. Before the paperwork Mike took my boyfriend and I to show us the replacement part was in working order. I don’t know of many shops that could do this work in under 7 hours. I was very pleased the work was done so quickly. Melaine, Mikes wife, was very sweet and amazing checking us out as well.
An excellent team and garage! We have found our new repair garage! Thanks Mike and Melanie!”
– Mistress Eve
“My wife and I wanted auto locks on the doors of our car, asked Mike if it was possible within a few days he had the parts and the auto lock in and working.
My next visit I blew out my fork gaskets on my 2015 street glide once again now a problem had the parts delivered and changed out in no time at all.
Thank you Mike appreciate everything.”
– Anthony Risolio
“A true gem of a shop! Honest, reliable, and extremely helpful. Bad Habit is now my go-to mechanic shop”
