About Us
Tommy Eddleman
Born and raised in Arlington, Texas, Tommy has grown up in and around motorized vehicles. Anything ... cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats ... if it had a motor, Tommy tinkered with it. As he grew, his passion for speed continued, but his desire for style, finesse and perfection escalated.
As a teenager, Tommy worked for a local paint and body shop. There, Tommy learned the ins and outs of the basics of automotive engineering. He was quickly introduced to antique cars and parts by Stacy Brown at Antique Auto Supply. As an adult, Tommy ventured into working for some of the largest, well-known automotive dealerships in the Metroplex. He touched almost every aspect of the fixed operations side of the dealership world. From Parts to Service to Body Shop operations, he's been a part of it all. But, one aspect of his deep-seeded passion for cars was still hidden ... building hot rods!!!
Drag Racing, Street Rods, Custom Motorcycles and Show Cars turned Tommy onto just another chapter of his life-long passion. He quickly learned that these categories were not just hobbies ... they were a way of life. In 1991, he took his bride of just a year, to watch the drag races at a small town drag strip. His next 7 years were spent wrenching a 1961 Chevy pickup, transforming it into a full-blown race car, while his wife spent her time racing it. "He built the horsepower, and I drove it straight and fast!" says Wendi. The two spent every moment possible at the race track, and were a successful team.
TEN YEARS
In 2009, Tommy took a leap of faith, and opened his own shop. With his wife Wendi by his side as office manager, business has thrived. These days, you will find Tommy at just about every automotive event around town. Tommy's ultimate goal now is to maintain and repair vehicles for clients. His experienced devotion is the stepping stone to providing a much-needed service. With honesty and fairness, Tommy will work with you to care for your project and you will be excited to show off your investment. Everyone knows that special feeling they get when they receive the ultimate compliment "Hey, nice car!" Let us help you get back out and about!!
