About
I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience in mechanical and body repair work. For 13 years, I worked in helicopter maintenance and repair, where precision, safety, and attention to detail were critical. I also spent 13 years repairing and maintaining military vehicles, which required advanced diagnostic skills and the ability to solve complex mechanical problems.
In addition to that, I have 20 years of experience in automotive body work. I handle mechanical repairs, diagnostics, and body repairs with professionalism and care.
When you hire me, you’re getting someone who:
• Pays close attention to detail
• Diagnoses problems correctly the first time
• Works efficiently and responsibly
• Treats every vehicle like it’s my own
I take pride in delivering reliable, high-quality work you can trust.

My review (will be using list format)
1. He responded pretty fast and showed up exactly when he said he would.
2. He listened to everything I had to say and what my issue was, and what I needed fixed. I did not feel he was rushing me to talk or explain my issues.
3. He let me use my own parts that I purchased and did not haggle me to use or purchase his parts.
4. He installed the parts, and verified my vehicle could turn on, and modified the parts so they could fit my vehicle (he has the tools to make modifications and adjustments on spot).
5. After he was finished, he took a look at other parts of my vehicle that could be potential issues and gave me a price quote on spot.
Overall, he is a very good mechanic, he responded quickly to my messages and came to our meeting spot 20 minutes later and fixed the issue under 2 hours. I will be using his services again (currently no photos at this time, but will upload when I get the chance).

Val was very patient, professional, and was very thorough in troubleshooting my fuel and electric fuel pump issue. He was very patient and diagnosed the issue and got the fuel pump working. I would recommend him for diagnostic problems.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer discounts for multiple projects on your vehicle or if you have several vehicles that need repair.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by understanding the issue and providing a clear estimate. Once approved, we schedule the job. I diagnose carefully, complete the work professionally, and make sure everything is done right before I leave. Clear communication and quality work are my priorities.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 13 years of military experience working on helicopters, where I completed all required certifications and technical training. This role required advanced mechanical knowledge, strict safety standards, and extreme attention to detail.
In addition, I have 13 years of experience working on a wide range of military vehicles, also with full certifications and formal training. My background includes mechanical systems, diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance under high-performance and mission-critical conditions.
The discipline, precision, and technical expertise I gained in the military directly apply to the work I do today.
