Meet the Mechanic

My name is Pentios, and I started Hat Off Auto with one mission: to provide quality repairs at fair prices. Years ago, after being charged way too much for a repair I couldn’t afford, I decided to fix it myself. That moment changed everything. I realized how overpriced and impersonal most shops are—and I knew I could do it better.

With over a decade in the auto industry—including years as a certified KIA Master Technician—I’ve seen every kind of repair, on every kind of car. Whether it’s routine maintenance, engine swaps, or transmission work, I bring dealership-level skill to every job, without the sky-high costs.

What makes Hat Off Auto different is simple: you always know who’s working on your car. No passing you off to someone else. No shady upsells. Just one mechanic—you and me—working together to get your vehicle back in shape.

I take time to walk customers through each repair. I’ll show you the part, explain what went wrong, and break it down in plain English. Because I believe when you understand your car, you make smarter, safer decisions.

Most of my customers stick with me because they feel like family—and that’s exactly the kind of shop I run. No big franchises. No corporate quotas. Just honest work, straight talk, and real relationships.

So whether you’re coming in for an oil change or a complete engine replacement, know this: at Hat Off Auto, we’re not just fixing cars—we’re building trust, one repair at a time.
