Since acquiring the shop, the Carlsons have greatly expanded the business, introducing new services and becoming pioneers in the hybrid vehicle repair industry. About 15 years ago, they made a bold move by introducing Grand Rapids Hybrid and EV, becoming the first and only qualified independent hybrid repair facility in the area. This specialized service has allowed them to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly automotive solutions and serve drivers of hybrid and electric vehicles with the same precision and care as traditional vehicles.

In 2020, due to the increasing demand for their services, the Carlsons added four new service bays to accommodate more customers and enhance service efficiency.
