Kia Auto Repair: Expert Service in Grand Rapids

Real People, Real Expertise

Here’s something cool about our story – Eric and Jamie Carlson didn’t just decide to open a repair shop one day. Eric’s journey started with him washing car parts in his parents’ bathtub (they were librarians, if you can imagine their surprise!) and led him to become a four-time NAPA/ASE Technician of the Year. Meanwhile, Jamie was maintaining aircraft in the Air Force, handling everything from jet engines to hydraulics. When these two car enthusiasts met, they knew they could create something special in Grand Rapids.
