The Shop Behind The Wrench

Everyone knows George.

A born mechanic, George started this shop in 1987 and never lost the part that matters: you come in, you talk to the person fixing your rig, and you get the honest truth. One phone number. Real people who pick up.

Nearly four decades in, the crew has barely changed and our very first customer is still a customer today. That's the kind of business we built — high quality, fair priced, and relationship-driven to the core.

— George & Kim, San Diego Heavy Truck & Equipment Repair
