Chris Powers
Owner & Head Mechanic
Chris grew up in a family of mechanics and bodywork guys — cars were part of everyday life. From the start he knew he wanted his own shop one day.
In high school, Chris went through the automotive vocational program and started turning wrenches at the very shop he owns today. He worked alongside the previous owner for years, learned the craft inside and out, and eventually bought the shop. It's been Chris's Garage ever since.
He's been working on cars since he was 16 — over two decades of hands-on experience with everything from daily drivers to full-blown custom builds.
Just off I-95.
Travelers welcome.
