About Milstead Automotive

Milstead Automotive is an American Success Story...

Dick Milstead: Founder

Mr. Milstead was born in Lufkin, TX in 1943. After a short stay in Lufkin and Houston, his family moved to a small community outside of Franklin, TX where he would remain until graduating high school. Upon graduation, Mr. Milstead moved to Houston and in 1971 opened what is now known as Milstead Automotive & Transmission. Growing up on a ranch, Mr. Milstead learned at an early age the value of a hard day’s work and what it meant to be honest and have integrity. The lessons learned carried over with him when he began Milstead and have been ingrained into his management and employees. Mr. Milstead is very involved with all aspects of the business and can be found on most weekends at his ranch where he was raised.
