Our Journey Through the Years

1997

The Beginning

Founded by master technician Mike Johnson with a simple vision: provide honest, reliable auto repair service to the Rohnert Park community. Starting with just three bays and two employees, we opened our doors on Commerce Boulevard with a commitment to treat every customer like family.

2001

First Major Expansion

Growing demand led to our first expansion. We doubled our service capacity, added state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, and brought on additional ASE certified technicians. This growth allowed us to serve more families while maintaining our personal touch.

2005

ATRA Membership & BBB Accreditation

Achieved membership in the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association and earned Better Business Bureau accreditation with an A+ rating. These milestones reflected our commitment to industry standards and ethical business practices.

2010

Next Generation Joins

Mike's son, David Johnson, joined the business after completing his automotive engineering degree and ASE certifications. This marked the beginning of our evolution as a true family business, combining traditional values with modern automotive expertise.

2015

Technology & Training Investment

Major investment in cutting-edge diagnostic technology and hybrid/electric vehicle training. We became one of the first shops in Rohnert Park certified to service hybrid vehicles, preparing for the automotive industry's evolution.

2018

Chamber Business Excellence Award

Received the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award, recognizing our contributions to the local economy and commitment to community service. This honor reflected decades of building trust and relationships in our community.

2020-2022
