About the shop

One family, one building,
23 years.

Tony opened PT Auto Experts in 2003 with 45 years in the trade already behind him. His daughter Brianna runs the service desk now, and she is the one being handed the business.

The succession

The person who owns it, and the person who will

A shop this size has no call center and no service advisor reading off a screen. The person who tells you what your car needs is the person who looked at it, or their boss.

Tony, owner of PT Auto Experts

Tony

Owner

In the automotive industry since he was sixteen, with over 45 years of experience, Tony opened PT Auto Experts in 2003 and has been serving the community ever since. Known as the person who can fix just about anything, he especially loves working on old classic cars and bringing them back to life. He takes as much pride in teaching the next generation of mechanics as he does in the repairs themselves.

Brianna, service manager at PT Auto Experts

Brianna

Service Manager

Tony's daughter. Brianna worked part-time for four years learning the business, and stepped into the Service Manager role in 2025, overseeing daily operations. She is preparing to one day take over PT Auto Experts.

The bench

And the three who do the work with them

Ryan, lead technician at PT Auto Experts

Ryan

Lead Technician

A decade of hands-on experience, worked up from a beginner in this shop to lead technician. Known for sharp diagnostic skills and a calm approach under pressure, from routine maintenance through complex engine repair.

Jackson, technician at PT Auto Experts

Jackson

Technician

Five years with PT Auto Experts. Dependable, eager to grow, and always looking for ways to expand his skills, whether he is turning wrenches or diagnosing a tricky fault.

Asael, apprentice technician at PT Auto Experts

Asael

Apprentice Technician

Two to three years in the industry and still early in his career, learning the craft directly under Tony and Ryan and building a foundation of skills.

Ryan came up through this shop from beginner to lead technician, which is the same story as Brianna's in a different department.

What backs it up

Four credentials, and what each is worth to you

These are memberships and public records, not badges the shop bought. Here is what each one actually means when your car is on the lift.

  1. 01

    NAPA AutoCare Center

    Qualifying work carries the NAPA Peace of Mind Warranty, 24 months or 24,000 miles on parts and labor, honored at 14,000+ locations nationwide.

  2. 02

    ASE-Certified Technicians

    Certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, an independent non-profit that tests technicians on skill and knowledge rather than on who they work for.

  3. 03

    AAA Approved Auto Repair

    A current AAA Approved Auto Repair facility. AAA members get 10% off labor here, capped at seventy-five dollars, and AAA inspects and re-inspects approved shops rather than taking their word for it.

    Verified 2026-09-01 on AAA's own facility listing.

The shop itself

Three rooms and a picnic table

The bay. Two-post lifts, and the alignment rack along the wall, so new tires and the alignment they need happen in one visit.

Suite A. Three businesses share this row, and the suite letter is the thing people get wrong.

Where the numbers come from

Every rating on this site is attributed and every one is checkable. Nothing is averaged across platforms: the same customer can appear on two of them, and adding them up would be a claim nobody could stand behind.
