Dryer sheets around the batter compartment, under the hood and anywhere else in addition to the steel wool in the pipes. Apparently mice hate dryer sheets.

Great tip, thank you.

I'm just glad you posted the pic of the wheel. I was getting worried.

Since I have been putting this under the car not a single critter in sight.

The same unit also stopped them from entering my garage at home, have it sitting right near the door.

I thought about it, that's all. The reason I was thinking about my car is that a friend of mine with a 2012 gts just had a new motor put in the car with only 20k on the original. Yowsa !
