Who we are

A father, a son, and one shop.

I opened this shop in 1979. My family moved to Granada Hills in 1960, and I grew up in this Valley. Repairing cars and serving the people of the San Fernando Valley has been my passion ever since. That is Craig Lauricella, the founder.

My son Matt grew up in the shop, earned a scholarship to Universal Technical Institute, graduated top of his class, and became ASE Master certified. He spent years at dealerships, watched the upselling from the inside, and came home.

Our technicians are ASE certified and smog check certified, and nobody here works on commission. We work on all makes and models, foreign and domestic, gas and electric, and we bring dealership experience with Volvos at prices below the dealer.
