  • Its been exactly one year since I bought and revived an abandoned auto repair shop, and we need another technician to help keep the shop running! If you have good diag and repair skills and are looking for a change of pace, hit me up and let's get you onto the team!
    Send me your resume and relevant experience to info@autosmith.net. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Wish I lived closer, and had your qualities you need. I’m just a general mechanic. I do wish you luck and I’m hoping to come see your shop in the future. Would love to meet you, never got a chance to talk with you when myself and my wife met you in Vegas at LS fest. Good luck buddy.

      So your LS swap can sit for 8 months in his shop? Don’t get me wrong I love LT, but dudes gotta finish that thing. That’s just bad business. Bang it out over a weekend!

    I'm kinda jealous that you have a platform like this you've made to recruit people. I have to rely on Indeed. Finding good, qualified techs is the hardest thing I have to do as a shop owner. My project truck has been waiting for me to have time to work on it for 16 yrs now. Good luck!

    I have been watching your youtube videos recently and all of power nation / power block tv from the past and present because I'm doing an LSA Supercharger build on an 02 5.3 Tahoe. Watched all of the COPO vids and decided to watch some more recent videos. Can't believe we both own repair shops with the same name. Mine was named Autosmith because of my last name and also a reference to blacksmiths. Also didn't even google search at that time to see if there were any other shops with the same name. I started my shop Aug 2020. Wish I could make the change to do complete custom work which I do out of my home shop but its hard to turn away general repair for the public. I live in Cape Girardeau, MO. Maybe one day our paths may cross but until then good luck with the new shop! Its definitely taxing to do everything you want and run a full time business.

    LT, I spoke to you about LS Swapping my Tacoma, ended up taking it to TX. Well it’s completed, looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING just like it was installed by the factory other than the cone style air filter. I go to pick it up on the 10th. of Feb. Sadly the gentleman I hired doesn’t do TiG welding for the 304 Stainless exhaust system. I spoke to you about maybe welding an exhaust but looks like you don’t have time. Oh, non of my Damn Business but I would be upset if I owned the Jeep… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Good luck buddy and my apologies.
