In 1978, after spending years in other people’s repair shops, Armando Ochoa realized he had everything he needed to start his own business. He began to look for a place to hang his shingle, and found his plot of land on the corner of Bay Blvd and Palomar Street. And in a matter of months, a new business was born.

Over the course of twenty years, Armando established a reputation for integrity and hard work; qualities which he passed on to his sons, Raul and Luis Ochoa. As teenagers, Raul and Luis worked in the shop under their father’s tutelage. In the early 2000’s, Armando officially passed the torch to his sons. A true family business, his daughters, Lilia and Sara Ochoa, joined the staff as well, working in the front office.

As partners, Raul and Luis divide the work according to their strengths. An ace mechanic in his own right, Raul assumed the role of lead technician. While Luis, with his buoyant and charming personality, effortlessly fit the role of service writer and customer liaison. In the two decades that followed, this dynamic duo grew the business to over 6,000 customers and counting.
