What is your favorite part about operating an auto shop?
Meeting new people everyday and helping people get back on the road, educating people on car maintenance and of course getting to work with my family everyday.
What are your goals for the future?
We want to have the reputation of one of the most dependable, quality, hardworking and honest shops in the Northstate.
We also want to be the #1 stop for anybody with a VW, Audi, BMW or Porsche. Our guys are THE BEST around for these makes and I want everyone to feel the same way I do about our techs/shop.
We would also like to expand in the future with possibly more techs and be able to specialize in more fields.
What vehicles do you specialize in?
So technically we specialize in Volkswagen, Audi and BMW. We also have a lot of experience in Porsche, but technically don't specialize in it per se. We can also provide services for most other makes, Domestics and Asians included.
How long have you lived in Redding, where and how long did you live before?
I [Krystyna] was born in Redding and moved to Bend in 2005 and moved back to Redding in 2009 due to the state of the economy.
Juan was born in Mexico, then moved to Huntington Beach in 1991 until about 1999/2000, when he moved to Bend, OR (where we met). Then in 2009 we both moved to Redding, CA.
Why should I bring my vehicle here over another shop?
We provide honest, thorough, dependable work with experienced techs who care greatly about the quality of work they provide. We also strive to go above and beyond with customer service, because we know our customers and our community is what matters most and that we would not be here without their continued support.
