Dirty Wrenches isn't a chain, a franchise or a dealership alternative dressed up in expensive coffee. It's three mechanics who got tired of doing this the wrong way.
We opened the doors in 2022 with one bay out of our own garage and one car belonging to a friend who didn't trust the dealer. A few years and several hundred cars later between us all, the formula hasn't changed: imports are our specialty, but we still work on everything else — domestics, trucks, motorcycles — because no job is too small.
You'll always speak to the person doing the work. The owner is the lead tech. The drivetrain specialist is across the floor, not in a different time zone. The performance tuner is the same person who'll torque your wheel nuts.
That means we book a couple of weeks out — and we're fine with that. So is everyone who's been here before.
Small shop, big bench. Between the three of us, Dirty Wrenches has brought in decades of combined experience, the help and second opinions that come with working shoulder-to-shoulder, and the kind of model-specific knowledge that usually only lives inside a dealer service department. Small doesn't mean light on expertise — it means none of it gets watered down before it reaches your car.
Travis runs the business and day-to-day operations — 20+ years as a lead mechanic across corporate and private shops, with deep import experience. Donnie has been turning wrenches on these cars since day one. Devon and Jess are recent additions — both seasoned techs we hand-picked to keep the standard up as we grow.
Runs day-to-day operations and keeps the bays moving. Two decades as a lead mechanic across corporate dealerships and private shops, with deep import experience — he's the one who's seen how it's done right and wrong, and built Dirty Wrenches around the right way.
Started in a friend's driveway with an E46 and a torque wrench. Still hasn't stopped.
Mechatronic surgery, clutch packs and the dark art of making German gearboxes behave.
WRX/STI builds, dyno calibrations and the only person here who can spell ‘rotational mass.’
Tell us what it is and what it's doing. We'll get you on the schedule.
