Craig has been the heart of Imperial Auto Repair in Mesa, Arizona, since opening the doors in 1991. With more than three decades of hands-on experience as an ASE-certified mechanic, he’s built a reputation for honesty, precision, and genuine care for every customer who walks through the door.

Craig believes doing things right the first time never goes out of style. You’ll often find him in the shop, diagnosing vehicles alongside his team or taking time to explain a repair in plain English to a customer. His approach is simple, good mechanics don’t just fix cars; they build trust.

Under Craig’s leadership, Imperial Auto Repair has grown into one of Mesa’s most trusted local repair shops; known for fair pricing, reliable workmanship, and that old-school integrity that’s hard to find these days.

When Craig isn’t under the hood, he’s spending time with his family the same values that guide his life at home shape how he runs his business. Customers often describe him as approachable, down-to-earth, and committed to doing right by people, every time.

Whether it’s a modern engine or a classic car restoration, Craig’s passion for cars runs deep. He treats every project with the same care and attention he’s had since day one, and that dedication continues to fuel Imperial Auto’s success more than 30 years later.

“I’ve always treated customers the way I’d want my own family treated with honesty, respect, and quality workmanship.”
