Our Services
Get to Know Us
At our veteran-owned, family-operated auto repair shop in San Antonio, TX, family, faith, integrity, and service are at the center of everything we do. Founded by Rafael and Suzie Silva, our shop was built on the belief that customers deserve honest automotive repair, dependable service, and a team that genuinely cares about the people behind the wheel.
Rafael Silva, a proud San Diego native, honorably served in the United States Army and completed two tours in Iraq while stationed at United States Army and Fort Hood. After his military service, he returned to California where he met his wife, Suzie, also a San Diego native. Together, they built a strong family foundation rooted in faith, hard work, and dedication to serving others.
Today, the Silva family proudly calls San Antonio home. Their three children — twins Aiden and Jaylene, along with their youngest, Isaiah — are actively involved in school sports, extracurricular activities, and community life throughout the San Antonio area. During school breaks, you’ll often find the kids helping around the family auto repair shop, learning the value of hard work, customer service, and teamwork firsthand.
As a local small business in San Antonio, we believe in treating every customer like family. Our team understands that auto repair can feel overwhelming, which is why we focus on honest communication, transparent recommendations, and quality workmanship you can trust. Whether you need brake repair, engine diagnostics, suspension work, AC repair, oil changes, or routine maintenance, our ASE-certified technicians are committed to keeping your vehicle safe and reliable.
The Silva family is deeply involved in the local community through church, schools, youth mentorship, and volunteer work. Suzie actively volunteers at local schools and mentors youth through church programs, while Rafael brings the same dedication and leadership from his military background into both his business and family life.
Faith continues to guide everything they do. Their commitment to Christ strengthens their family, their business, and their passion for serving others with excellence and compassion. When they’re not working at the shop or supporting community events, the Silva family enjoys traveling the country in their RV, creating lifelong memories together outdoors.
As a veteran-owned auto repair facility in San Antonio, we are especially grateful for the men and women who serve our country and community. We proudly offer military discounts as a small thank-you to our heroes for their sacrifice and service.
When you choose our San Antonio auto repair shop, you’re choosing more than just a mechanic — you’re choosing a family that genuinely cares about your safety, your trust, and your experience. We are honored to serve our community and hope you’ll trust our family to help keep yours safely on the road.
