Steinbach is a city located about 58 km southeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. According to the Canada 2011 Census, Steinbach has a population of 13,524, making it the third largest city in Manitoba and the largest community in the Eastman region. The city is bordered by the Rural Municipality of Hanover (north, west, and south), and the Rural Municipality of La Broquerie (east). The name of "Steinbach" is translated from German as "Stony Brook" and was first settled by Mennonite peoples in 1874. The city continues to have a strong Mennonite and German influence today with over 50 percent of the residents claiming German heritage. Steinbach is found on the eastern edge of the Canadian Prairies, while Sandilands Provincial Forest is a short distance east of the city.

The Steinbach's first automobile dealership was established in 1914. Others soon followed. After the Great Depression, car sales increased and, by the 1950s, as a result of aggressive promotion, Steinbach became known as “The Automobile City”. By 1991, exhorted by the promotional slogan that “it’s worth the trip”, people from Manitoba, Ontario and elsewhere came to Steinbach to purchase vehicles.
