Thanks for visiting my website. I think its important for a new customer to check out a prospective shop and its owner. So the question is, how do I convey my experience, passion and expertise to you without it getting boring or sounding like Im patting myself on the back ?

Well I could go into how I pulled my first set of heads at 15 and now have 37 years of professional automotive experience. Ive owned my auto business for over 27 years and have a solid track record with the Bureau of Auto Repair. Ive held mechanics ASE certification in engine performance, brakes, suspension and steering, and engine tune-up. I could tell you about some of my experiences before starting my own business, like the 200 plus engine overhauls and valve jobs I performed by the time I was 22. One employer had race cars and I spent a couple of years as part of his weekend pit crew. I built and maintained 9000 rpm race engines for his cars while working there. He also enlisted myself and two co-workers to build a show truck that took first place in the Radically Modified Mini Truck class at the local autorama that year. I could also list some of the vocational school courses, night classes and seminars I attended for such things as automotive engine rebuilding, transmission and differential repair and rebuilding, air conditioning theory and repair, metal cutting, welding and fabrication, fuel injection service and repair, auto frame and unibody measuring and repair, auto refinishing and spot painting, plastic repair and fabrication, automotive epoxies, sealants, auto undercoatings and advanced adhesives use.
In the 80s and early 90s alone, I did body and paint work on approx. 1800 vehicles. Over the years Ive restored and customized literally hundreds of classic cars. OH CRAP! You know what? It does sound like Im patting myself on the back. You should just go to my projects page and check out what Ive been working on lately. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
