About

An independent shop, built around the cars we love.

We started Octane to do automotive work the way it should be done — with the right tools, the right training, and the time to get every detail correct.

Our story

From driveway projects to a dedicated shop.

What began as nights and weekends on friends' weekend cars grew into a full-service shop with the equipment to handle everything from a 1960s restoration to a modern, software-defined exotic. Every car that comes through gets the same standard of work.

We're customer-owned, locally based, and stay independent on purpose: it lets us choose the right parts, the right vendors, and the right approach for each vehicle and each owner.

Our philosophy

Diagnose first. Communicate clearly. Then fix it.

Diagnose, don't guess

If we can't tell you why a fix is the right one, we won't sell it. We invest in the tools and training to be certain.

Plain-English explanations

Photos, videos, and clear write-ups so you understand what we found and what we recommend — and why.

Right the first time

OEM-spec or better parts, torque to spec, road tested. We back our work and stand behind it.
