I established Ada Auto Repair in August of 1993. I graduated from the College of Southern Idaho Automotive Service Education Program (A.S.E.P.) and earned my Associates Degree in auto repair. That education gave me a tremendous boost, because that was the era when computerization & fuel injection were just becoming the norm. I was on the cutting edge but still needed experience. I worked at a couple of local dealers and independent shops before going out on my own. I rented a small shop in Garden City that sure didn't look like much but served it's purpose well. I was able to keep costs down and still add the necessary tools, equipment & information systems to stay current on todays automobiles.
I started going back to classes in 2005, realizing that technology is constantly changing and I'd better stay up on it or risk falling behind. They keep me up to speed on the latest innovations and changes in the repair industry. There is no way one person can know every thing about every car. The ability to realize that and FIND the information is key. I'm a member of the International Automotive Technician's Network (iATN), a worldwide resource of OVER 76,000 techs sharing knowledge and information about every make & model of automobile.
In July of 2006, I purchased the shop I am currently in at 3700 Overland Road. It is small and humble but serves it's purpose well. I can keep my prices reasonable and still provide great service to my 1015+ customers. I am not cheap, I am reasonably & competitively priced.
