Meet Chris Jones, this guy started working on cars as a long-haired, broke teenage boy. His need to keep his '74 and '79 Ford Mustangs mobile drove him into his first “schooling” in the mechanic world. Chris got his first job in the industry as a Valet for Larry Miller Subaru. He quickly worked his way through the ranks of lube jockey, apprentice, and finally a technician, becoming fully certified in 2000. Chris was operating his own “shop” from his home garage serving family and friends through personal referrals. His education includes technical training classes through Napa Auto Care, Mitsubishi, Subaru and self-training guides through Motor Age. He is Master Certified with ASE which includes diesel repair. When he is not working hard in the shop, he is picking hard on his guitar in worship or spending quality time with his wife, 4 amazing kids, and dog. Whether it's hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, paddle boarding, nertz or cribbage games, this guy plays as hard as he works. His great love for his birth state and the great outdoors keeps him balanced with Idaho dirt and motor oil in his veins in equal measures. Because of his meager beginnings, Chris understands the value of hard-earned money. His commitment to excellent service, understanding the needs and priorities of his customers and quality work, make him the best kind of mechanic!
Meet Tawni Jones! This California-born Idahoan joined the team before there was a team. Her interest is 100% in people. Her service manager skills are growing with the business, but her love for meeting, greeting, and connecting with our customers is by far her favorite part of the job. Her years of volunteer work at churches and schools, caring for her grandma, raising 3 boys and a girl, and investing in family have perfectly equipped her for anything that shop life can throw at her. After 23 years of mothering at home, she is loving the new adventure of being “shop mom”. Her favorite non-shop pastimes include but are not limited to thrift-store shopping, camping, paddle boarding, and hiking with her favorite mechanic, 4 outstanding kids, her beloved fur baby, and quality time with all those she loves. Whether you are hankering for a cup of coffee, a snack, a listening ear, or a ride to or from the shop, Tawni is here for you!

Meet Ava Jones, our only 4-legged team member. Quite honestly, Ava could not give two hoots about cars, however, what she lacks in automotive interest she more than makes up for in her fondness for people.

When she is not lounging in the shop, she is either hunting, walking, or playing keep away with her people. She accepts all pats and treats.

Meet our newest addition to the team! Eve Johnson is a trail runner and proud mama of Hank the Hound. This lady has many interests and hobbies like crocheting, quilting, embroidery, and hiking, to name a few. She started out her job experience as an improv actress here in her home state.
