The man behind it all! Josh has been in the east valley automotive industry since 1997 and was professionally trained at Universal Technical Institute in 2002. If Josh isn't tasked with your car specifically, you can guarantee he's there to support the technician who is!
Josh’s passion began with Japanese cars and he spent upwards of 15 years perfecting the craft. Josh's interest's have recently included the German manufacturers and he is in the works of mastering another set of skills.
Josh drives a stage two 2017 Audi S3! The yellow one; fastest in the shop for sure. Keep an eye out for the Civic build updates soon!
Resident shop rat. You can find her in the business chair, following Josh around, or in the community teaching or practicing yoga. With a background in social services, she can help you manage any crisis that comes up with your vehicle.
Fun fact! Pixi went to Motorcycle Mechanics Institute when she was 19 and worked in the industry for 5 years.
Pixi drives a stage two 2016 Audi SQ5! She also claimed the 71 Honda N600 to eventually build a JDM rat rod :)
Tanner is the most wholesome member of the team. He and his sweet girlfriend spend a lot of time with their puppy, Clutch! To note, Tanner does not like spiders, lol.
Tanner's interests lie in the German market; except Mercedes, lol. Tanner also has his own automotive detailing business; feel free to ask about how to connect!
Tanner daily's a 2013 VW GTI and his weekend car is a LS swapped BMW E36.
Nolan has been working as an automotive technician since he left the Navy in 2018. He brings a vast knowledge of Subaru's to the team and a sparkle of JDM back into the shop.
Nolan drives a slow AF LL Bean edition Subaru that could be mistaken for your grandma's, and a right hand drive Miata!
Billy was a natural addition to the shop team; he slid his toolbox into a quiet corner and it seems like he has always been here.
Billy drives a 2012 F150 so he can pull the trailer for his AWD 9.6 second 1997 EK Civic named Karen. Meet us at the drag strip and look for the Open Shop Auto and ASM Race Glass stickers!
Ashleigh! Our marketing coordinator! She runs one of the community yoga programs Pixi teaches with, and she was willing to help us get ourselves organized for public consumption, lol. Ashleigh helps with all the things we can not prioritize over the vehicle work load. Think social media, merch, events, office support, etc.
Ashleigh daily drives a stock 2014 Ford Fiesta, named "Yasss Kween Machine" :)

The shop uses a professional level Autel scan tool for diagnosis and repairs, but we recommend this cost effective Autel Mini for at home use. You can use this scanner to read a check engine light and send us the code right away for assistance in determining what to do! You are also able to erase codes if necessary, but you are not able to muck anything up with your car. Safety first!
Every introverts dream during an emergency; you don't have to ask anyone for help! We always recommend having a jump starter in your vehicle; put it on your calendar to charge every three months or so. This NOCO Boost Plus is strong enough to start a 6.0L Gasoline engine and some small diesels. You can check the NOCO store on Amazon to fin the one that best fits your needs! We use this big jumper daily in the shop.
