Mike’s love of vehicles started when he was eight with dirt bikes. At seventeen, he started his professional career with vehicles and graduated from the CR Automotive program at twenty years old. His love of these “giant puzzles” has never lessened in his fifteen years working with them professionally; every job has a chance to teach him something new. He has passed this love to his daughter who never passes a chance to work with him and who, ultimately, this shop was built for. When he isn’t happily tinkering away with vehicles, you can find him on various different ones. Dirt bikes, rock crawling, four wheeling, you name it, he has probably ridden/driven it if not completely built it from scratch himself.

            “I have spent my entire working life in the automotive industry as well as locally in Humboldt County. I worked my way through the ranks always building my skills and knowledge. I reached the title of ASE Master Certified Technician at 20 years old.  I have spent over 10 years diagnosing some of the hardest and most intermittent problems out there, 5 years repairing strictly Diesel-powered vehicles and every second of that time aiming for exactly where I am today.”
