About Company

Good day fellow tech,

As the owner and operator of Turning Wrenches Auto Repair, I opened this shop in 2014 with a desire to offer the very best experience to all my clients and a place for fellow technicians to grow without the drama. The shop drama was another reason I decided to open my own shop. It indeed was refreshing, but as word spread, it also became demanding. New experience techs are needed to share this dream. Here is our customer promise: We are committed to ensuring that every vehicle we service meets the highest standards of performance and reliability. This is what motivates our team day by day. If this fits your core ethics, come join our team.

Yours truly,

Adrian Frias
