Fixit Tim’s Automotive – Where Integrity, Leadership, and Excellence Drive Everything

At Fixit Tim’s Automotive, we’re not just fixing cars — we’re rebuilding trust in the auto repair industry. Born from one man’s passion and a beat-up pickup, our shop was founded to be different from day one: honest, transparent, and relentlessly committed to doing right by people.

What started with Tim, a 16-year-old teaching himself to wrench because he couldn’t afford a mechanic, has grown into a business that’s as much about leadership and team culture as it is about quality repair. That same grit and curiosity still drives everything we do.

More Than a Mechanic

Founder Tim Kerns is an ASE Master Technician — but the real engine behind Fixit Tim’s is our team. We invest in developing not just skilled techs, but servant leaders. Everyone here is expected to learn, grow, and help others succeed. It’s part of how we deliver better service, better diagnostics, and better long-term care for your vehicle.

Customer-First by Design

We believe in diagnosing before replacing. Listening before talking. And building trust that lasts. That means no scare tactics, no gimmicks — just honest work, clear communication, and support that continues long after your keys are back in your hand.

Driven Toward a New Future

As we grow, our mission stays the same: raise the bar for what an auto shop can be. That means training the next generation of professionals to lead with humility and excellence. That means making the customer experience smooth, simple, and empowering from the moment you Google us to the moment your car rolls out the bay door.

We’re proud to serve — and we’re just getting started. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, we’re here to earn your trust and keep your wheels turning.

Vision

Our vision is to redefine what it means to work in — and with — an auto repair shop. We’re building a team-driven, integrity-led business that sets a new standard for transparency, service, and leadership development in the industry. We want to be the shop others try to copy — and the place people dream of working.
