A love of working on cars: It all started in high school auto shop. By my senior year, I knew this was the right choice. Following was an A.A. degree in auto technology from College of Marin.
My profession as an auto technician began at Sears Automotive Center where I performed wheel alignment, tire installation, and tune-up for about 4 years.
Following was a year and a half with a race car fabrication company named Huffaker Engineering. That job included race car maintenance and travel to various tracks across the country. At that time I had a Class A driver’s license and transported a British MGB and TR7 race car to SCCA events.
1988-89 was at Bill Lyons Unocal as a smog technician.
Desiring to own my own business some day, that dream came true in 1990. I started Mobile Tune-Up doing auto repair at people’s homes and businesses. By 1994, I had opened Kindt Automotive and have remained in this profession until present. After having 2 large shops as well as employees, I decided to down size in 2004 and worked alone since. Being smaller now has allowed me to give more personalized service to my customers as well as lowering my hourly rate.
Today's trend in auto repair is to offer low priced gimmicks as a way to increase customer volume. This being a standard practice in all types of sales, auto repair shops must up-sell to offset this loss. That is why creative up-selling happens at many shops.
Kindt Automotive will never try to sell you a service or repair that is questionable or that perhaps can be put off until a later date. You will, however, be treated with complete honesty and professionalism when any additional work may be needed.
All work is guaranteed 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. All replaced parts can be returned to customer upon request.
