How did you come up with the name?

There is no other repair shop in Irvington so why not dedicate the name to the people of Irvington?

It’s a very nice town with friendly people. It seemed like a great place to start up.

What business are you in?

Auto repair and sales.

What’s the most difficult challenge you’ve faced as a business owner?

Moving was definitely a big hurdle to deal with and now it’s basically who can find us.

The opening has been my greatest achievement. It just feels like home over here.

How does your business give back to the community?
