MEET THE TEAMÂ
​Born in Lima, Peru, I grew up learning the fundamentals of auto repair in my godfather’s workshop. After moving to the U.S. in 1993 with extensive expertise in brakes and tires, I spent 10 years honing my skills as a professional technician with Walmart. In 2021, I fulfilled my lifelong dream of opening my own shop. I take pride in providing honest, high-quality auto care and look forward to serving our community through to retirement.
- Jose Calderon, OwnerÂ
I grew up with a wrench in my hand, learning the family trade directly from my father. After serving as a diesel mechanic in the military and graduating from WyoTech, I spent two decades mastering every aspect of car repair, from neighborhood shops to large dealerships. My work is my passion, and I treat every vehicle as if it were my own. I honestly can’t think of anything else I’d rather do than keep your car safe.
-Michel Sims IV, TechnicianÂ
Bringing 15 years of administrative and organizational experience across diverse industries, I oversee the daily operations and customer experience at our shop. Working side-by-side with my husband, I handle everything behind the scenes to ensure our business runs smoothly, efficiently, and transparently. My goal is to make every customer's visit as stress-free and seamless as possible.
