ABOUT US
OUR STORY
THE Technicians was founded in December 2020 with a simple yet powerful vision: to deliver honest, high-quality automotive repair rooted in experience, integrity, and trust. What began in a home garage in Buda, Texas quickly grew into something far greater than we ever imagined—driven by hard work, dedication, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
Today, THE Technicians stands for Trained, Honest, and Educated service. While we’ve grown beyond that original home garage, our foundation remains the same: family-owned, community-driven, and dedicated to providing reliable automotive care our customers can trust.
TEAM LEADERS
By starting our own company, we were able to get back to the heart of the industry—personal service, skilled craftsmanship, and always doing what’s right for every customer.
From simple oil changes to complete restorations and custom builds, we deliver quality craftsmanship at every level. Place your trust in THE Technicians—where precision meets passion.

FOUNDER
Our founder has lived and breathed automotive repair and restoration from a young age—building his first engine at 13 for a 1965 Mustang and entering the industry by 15. This early, hands-on foundation shaped his relentless passion for diagnosing, repairing, and mastering every system within a vehicle. He served as an Area Director for a large automotive group, gaining extensive leadership experience and a deep understanding of what both customers and technicians truly need from an automotive repair shop.
