My wife, Zoie, and I began our business in 1984 with the goal of providing quality products and services in the areas of gasoline retailing automotive repair to the local South Bay residents. We came to Los Angeles from Minnesota and brought our mid-west values and work ethic with us. We settled into this community, raised two children here, and participated in many local civic organizations. We are lucky to have found such an amazing community to raise our family and build our business. As a business owner, my pledge is to create extraordinary outcomes in the business we own and manage. The growth & profitability of the businesses, and the personal and professional growth that takes place with our employees, measure these outcomes. Our formula is simple. We focus on three things. We hire incredible people to work here. Everyone we bring into our organization must have a strong value system that is in alignment to ours; second; we invest in training these employees to be the best at their trade and finally we seek to inspire these employees to continue to grow both personally and professionally. We were recently recognized as one of the Top 25 Auto Repair Shops in the country. This recognition was due to the long hours and hard work of our staff. They are the ones who show up, day in and day out, making this the amazing place it is. We are proud of them and proud of their success. We are also grateful for the way this community has embraced and supported us.
