How a passion for muscle cars that started at age 14 became a lifelong career helping others maintain their vehicles.
Every mechanic has a story about how they got started. Mine begins with a 1967 Buick GS 400.
Where It All Started
At age 14, I got my hands on that Buick — a beautiful piece of American muscle that needed more work than I knew at the time. But that's how you learn.
Lessons Learned Under the Hood
Fixing cars teaches you things that apply far beyond the garage:
- Patience — Some problems take hours to diagnose and fix properly.
- Problem-solving — Every strange noise or symptom is a puzzle to solve.
- Mechanics and physics — Understanding how things work gives you a deep appreciation for engineering.
From Passion to Career
What started as a teenager's obsession with muscle cars evolved into a career helping others maintain their vehicles. There's something deeply satisfying about solving a problem and knowing you've made someone's car reliable and safe again.
At Sherwood Auto Repair, we bring that same passion to every vehicle that comes through our doors — whether it's a classic muscle car or a modern daily driver.
