Anthony Wrixon has always been passionate about automobiles. It started as a young boy who loved to build model cars and enter them in model car shows with his friends. He couldn't wait until he was able to purchace his first car and build it from the ground up. With influence from his father he was able to start his passion and take pride in this endeavor.
After high school he attended Nascar Technical Institute in Mooresville N.C. were he excelled to the top of his class. He started his technical career at Diamond Bar Honda as an entry level technician. There he worked his way up the ranks and developed a passion for import and domestic cars. From that point he has worked for a few independent shops in the area and found himself wanting to own and operate his own garage. With his family support team behind him he found the perfect shop in La Habra, C.A. and opened the doors July 1 2015.
